This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (this “Statement”) relates solely to preliminary communications made before the commencement of a planned tender offer by ProCar Acquisition Corporation (“Purchaser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”), for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of CoLucid Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”), to be commenced pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 17, 2017, among Lilly, Purchaser and the Company.

In connection with the proposed acquisition, Lilly will cause Purchaser to commence a tender offer for the outstanding shares of the Company. The tender offer has not yet commenced. This document is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of the Company, nor is it a substitute for the tender offer materials that Lilly and its acquisition subsidiary, Purchaser, will file with the SEC upon commencement of the tender offer. At the time the tender offer is commenced, Lilly and Purchaser will file tender offer materials on Schedule TO, and the Company will file a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC with respect to the tender offer. The tender offer materials (including an Offer to Purchase, a related Letter of Transmittal and certain other tender offer documents) and the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement will contain important information. Holders of shares of the Company are urged to read these documents when they become available because they will contain important information that holders of the Company securities should consider before making any decision regarding tendering their securities. The Offer to Purchase, the related Letter of Transmittal and certain other tender offer documents, as well as the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement, will be made available to all holders of shares of the Company at no expense to them. The tender offer materials and the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement will be made available for free at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.
