On August 25, 2019, Health Sciences Acquisitions Corporation (“HSAC”) received the unfortunate news that Mark Schoenebaum, one of HSAC’s independent directors, had passed away. HSAC would like to provide its sincere condolences to the family of Dr. Schoenebaum. Dr. Schoenebaum was a luminary in the biopharma industry and a wonderful friend to HSAC’s management and Board. He will be missed by all officers, directors, and affiliates of HSAC.

Given that HSAC continues to meet applicable Nasdaq listing requirements, it does not currently intend to seek a replacement for Dr. Schoenebaum on the Board.
