Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

On December 1, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the Registrant and Scite completed the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement. On the Closing Date, the Registrant paid and issued, as applicable, the Closing Consideration as previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K.
