the termination of the merger agreement; changes in general economic conditions, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or the conflict between Russia and Ukraine; the outcome of litigation related to

APAC's business relationships, operating results, and businesses generally; the ability to continue to meet Nasdaq's listing standards following the consummation of the proposed transactions; costs related to the

their financial projections and changes in the combined capital structure; the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed transactions, and identify
and realize additional opportunities; and the ability of OmniAb to implement its strategic initiatives.
