Certain Prospective Financial Information
The Company does not, as a matter of course, make public disclosure of detailed forecasts or projections of its expected financial performance for extended periods due to, among other things, the inherent difficulty of predicting future periods. However, in connection with the proposed transaction, the Companys management prepared and approved for use certain unaudited prospective financial information (as described and defined in more detail below,
LIMINAL BIOSCIENCES INC. | ||||
P a g e | 7 | Supplement dated September 12, 2023 to the Management Information Circular dated August 16, 2023 |
the Projections) which was provided to and considered by the Special Committee, and which was provided to BMO Capital Markets for its use and reliance in connection with its financial analyses and opinion described in the section entitled Formal Valuation and Opinion of the Special Committees Independent Financial Advisor and Valuator.
The Projections reflect estimates and assumptions made by Companys management with respect to general business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other market and financial conditions and other future events, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Companys control. In particular, the Projections, while presented with numerical specificity, necessarily were based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain. Because the Projections cover multiple years, by their nature, they become less predictive with each successive year and are unlikely to anticipate each and every circumstance that could have an effect on the Companys business and its results of operations. The Projections were developed solely using the information available to the Companys management at the time they were created and reflect assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change. The Projections include estimates of the Companys financial performance on a risk-adjusted basis. In addition, the ability to achieve the Projections may depend on, in part, whether or not the strategic goals, objectives and targets are reached over the applicable period. The assumptions upon which the Projections were based necessarily involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and regulatory conditions, and financial market conditions and future business decisions that may not be realized and that are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory uncertainties and contingencies, including, among other things, the inherent uncertainty of the business and economic conditions affecting the industry in which the Company operates, the probability of technical and regulatory success and the risks and uncertainties described in the sections entitled Cautionary Statements, and Forward-Looking Information, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Companys control. Modeling and forecasting the future in the biopharmaceutical industry, in particular, is a highly speculative endeavor.
None of the Company, the Purchaser Filing Parties or any of their respective affiliates, advisors or other representatives makes any representation to any shareholder regarding the validity, reasonableness, accuracy or completeness of the Projections or the ultimate performance of the Company relative to the Projections. The inclusion of the Projections in this Circular does not constitute an admission or representation of the Company that the Projections or the information contained therein is material. Except as required by applicable law, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates intends to, and each of them disclaims any obligation to, update, correct or otherwise revise the Projections if any or all of them have changed or change or otherwise have become, are or become inappropriate (even in the short term). These considerations should be taken into account if evaluating the Projections, which were prepared as of an earlier date.
The Projections should be evaluated, if at all, in conjunction with the historical financial statements and other information regarding the Company in its public filings filed on SEDAR+ and with the SEC. The Projections were developed by the Companys management on a standalone basis without giving effect to the proposed transaction and the other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, and therefore the Projections do not give effect to the proposed transaction or any changes to the Companys operations or strategy that may be implemented after the consummation of the proposed transaction, including any costs incurred in connection with the proposed transaction. Furthermore, the Projections do not take into account the effect of any failure of the proposed transaction to be completed and should not be viewed as accurate or continuing in that context.
The Projections further reflect subjective judgment in many respects and, therefore, are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. The inclusion of the Projections should not be regarded as an indication that the Company or anyone who received the Projections then considered, or now considers, the Projections to be necessarily predictive of actual future events, and this information should not be relied upon as such. The Companys management views the Projections as being subject to inherent risks and uncertainties associated with such long-range projections.

The Projections were not prepared with a view towards public disclosure, soliciting proxies or complying with the published guidelines of the SEC or Canadian securities regulators regarding projections and forecasts or accounting rules, standards and procedures for preparation and presentation of projections and forecasts. Neither the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, nor any other independent registered public accounting firm has examined, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the Projections, and accordingly, neither the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, nor any other independent registered public accounting firm expresses an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to the Projections.
The information and table set forth below are included solely to give the Companys shareholders access to certain of the financial projections that were made available to the Special Committee and BMO Capital Markets and are not included in this Circular in order to influence any shareholders decision to vote with respect to the Arrangement Resolution or for any other purpose. The following table summarizes the Projections (US dollars in millions, unless otherwise stated):
