The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by Prevail as of December 14, 2020.

*	As a result of the termination of its corporate existence in connection with the Merger (as defined in the Schedule TO), Tyto Acquisition Corporation ceased to be the beneficial owner of any securities of Prevail Therapeutics Inc.

This Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 22, 2020 (together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”), by Tyto Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eli Lilly and Company, an Indiana corporation (“Lilly”). This Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value, $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”) of Prevail Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Prevail”), in exchange for (a) $22.50 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable tax withholding, plus (b) one non-tradable contingent value right (a “CVR”), which CVR represents the contractual right to receive a contingent payment of up to $4.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable tax withholding, which amount (or such lesser amount as determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of such contingent value rights agreement to be entered into with a rights agent mutually agreeable to Lilly and Prevail) will become payable, if at all, if a specified milestone is achieved prior to December 1, 2028 (the “Offer Price”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

Items 1 through 9 and Item 11.

The disclosure in the Offer to Purchase and Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

“The Offer and related withdrawal rights expired as scheduled at one minute past 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on January 21, 2021 (such date and time, the “Expiration Time”), and was not extended. The Depositary has advised that, as of the Expiration Time, 27,374,689 Shares had been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 79.8% of the then issued and outstanding Shares. Accordingly, the Minimum Tender Condition has been satisfied. Purchaser has accepted for payment, and has stated that it will promptly pay for, all Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

Following consummation of the Offer, on January 22, 2021, Lilly completed its acquisition of Prevail pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement through the merger of Purchaser with and into Prevail, and without a meeting of stockholders of Prevail in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL, with Prevail surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lilly. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Share (other than (i) Shares owned by Prevail (or held in Prevail’s treasury) immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) Shares owned by Lilly, Purchaser or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Lilly immediately prior to the Effective Time and (iii) Shares held by any stockholder who was entitled to demand and properly demanded appraisal of such Shares pursuant to, and who complied in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL and who, as of the Effective Time, had neither effectively withdrawn nor lost its rights to such appraisal and payment under the DGCL with respect to such Shares), was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price from Purchaser.

Following the Merger, all Shares ceased trading prior to the opening of trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on January 22, 2021, and will be delisted from Nasdaq and deregistered under the Exchange Act.

A copy of the press release issued by Lilly on January 22, 2021 announcing the expiration and results of the Offer and the consummation of the Merger is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(B).”
