Exhibit 99.1

Roivant Announces Redemption Fair Market Value in Connection with Redemption of its Outstanding Warrants
 
BASEL, Switzerland and LONDON and NEW YORK, August 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Roivant (Nasdaq: ROIV) today announced the “Redemption Fair Market Value” to be used in connection with the previously announced redemption of its outstanding public warrants (the “Public Warrants”) and private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Redemption Fair Market Value will be used to determine the number of Roivant common shares (the “Common Shares”) that will be issued in connection with a Make-Whole Exercise (as defined below) of a Warrant, subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement (as defined below).
 
On August 2, 2023, Roivant announced the redemption of all of its outstanding Warrants to purchase Common Shares pursuant to its Warrant Agreement dated September 30, 2021 with Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (formerly American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC) as successor warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”) (the “Warrant Agreement”), that remain outstanding following 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on September 1, 2023 (the “Redemption Date”) for a redemption price of $0.10 per Warrant (the “Redemption Price”). The Warrant Agent previously delivered the notice of redemption (the “Notice of Redemption”) to each of the registered holders of the outstanding Warrants on behalf of Roivant.
 
Roivant has directed the Warrant Agent to deliver a notice (the “Notice of Redemption Fair Market Value”) on behalf of Roivant to each of the registered holders of the outstanding Warrants informing holders:
 

that the Redemption Fair Market Value is $11.35; and
 

as a result, holders who elect to exercise their Warrants on a “cashless basis” (a “Make-Whole Exercise”) prior to the Redemption Date will be entitled to receive approximately 0.2495 Common Shares per Warrant exercised.
 
The rights of the Warrant holders to exercise their Warrants will terminate at 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on the Redemption Date. Payment upon exercise of the warrants may be made either (i) in cash, at an exercise price of $11.50 per Common Share, or (ii) on a “cashless basis” whereby the exercising holder will receive approximately 0.2495 Common Shares per Warrant exercised. If a Warrant holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a Common Share, the number of Common Shares the Warrant holder will be entitled to receive will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Common Shares.
 
The Public Warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “ROIVW.” The Public Warrants will cease trading on Nasdaq at 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on the Redemption Date. Any Warrants that remain unexercised at 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on the Redemption Date will be delisted, void and no longer exercisable, and the holders of unexercised Warrants will have no rights with respect to those Warrants, except to receive the Redemption Price (or as otherwise described in the Notice of Redemption for holders who hold their Public Warrants in “street name”).
 
The Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have been registered by Roivant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), under a registration statement filed on Form S-3 with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 3, 2022 (Registration No. 333-267503).
 
Questions concerning redemption and exercise of the Warrants can be directed to the Warrant Agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (formerly American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC), at 6201 15th Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11219 Attention: Relationship Management, telephone number (877) 248-6417.
 
For additional information, including information on how holders may exercise their Warrants, see the Notice of Redemption. For copies of the Notice of Redemption and the Notice of Redemption Fair Market Value, please visit our investor relations website at https://investor.roivant.com/.
 

None of the Company, its Board of Directors or employees has made or is making any representation or recommendation to any Warrant holder as to whether to exercise or refrain from exercising any Warrants.
 
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any Roivant securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Exhibit 99.2

August 17, 2023
 

NOTICE OF REDEMPTION FAIR MARKET VALUE TO HOLDERS
OF ROIVANT SCIENCES LTD.’S PUBLIC WARRANTS (CUSIP G76279119)
AND PRIVATE WARRANTS (CUSIP G76279127)
 
Reference is made to the Notice of Redemption (as defined below) under which Roivant Sciences Ltd. (the “Company”) committed to inform registered holders of the Company’s Warrants (as defined below) of the following information by this date.
 
Background
 
On August 2, 2023, the Company mailed a notice of redemption (the “Notice of Redemption”) indicating that the Company is redeeming at 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on September 1, 2023 (the “Redemption Date”) all of the Company’s outstanding public warrants (the “Public Warrants”) and private warrants (the “Private Warrants” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase the Company’s common shares, par value $0.0000000341740141 per share (the “Common Shares”), issued under the Warrant Agreement, dated October 6, 2020, by and between the Montes Archimedes Acquisition Corp. (“MAAC”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as predecessor warrant agent, as modified by the Warrant Assumption Agreement, dated September 30, 2021, by and among MAAC, the Company and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (formerly American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC) as successor warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”) (as modified, the “Warrant Agreement”), for a redemption price of $0.10 per Warrant (the “Redemption Price”).
 
The Public Warrants will cease trading on The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) at 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on the Redemption Date.
 
Redemption Fair Market Value
 
The “Redemption Fair Market Value” is determined in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Warrant Agreement based on the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for the ten trading days immediately following the date on which the Notice of Redemption was sent to registered holders of the Warrants.
 
Based on the date of the Company’s Notice of Redemption, the Redemption Fair Market Value is $11.35.
 
Exercise of Warrants
 
Warrant holders have until 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on the Redemption Date to exercise their Warrants to purchase Common Shares. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a cash price of $11.50 per Warrant exercised (the “Exercise Price”). Holders of the Warrants may elect to exercise Warrants on a “cashless basis” (a “Make-Whole Exercise”) whereby, in lieu of paying the Company the $11.50 exercise price per Common Share, the surrendering holder will receive a certain number of the Company’s Common Shares, calculated in accordance with Sections 6.2 and 3.3.1 of the Warrant Agreement, and based on: (i) the period of time between the Redemption Date and the expiration of the Warrants and (ii) the Redemption Fair Market Value.
 
Based on the Redemption Fair Market Value of $11.35 noted above and the period of time between the Redemption Date and the expiration of the Warrants, the number of shares that each surrendering Warrant holder will receive by virtue of a Make-Whole Exercise is approximately 0.2495.
 
If any Warrants holder would, after taking into account all of such holder’s Warrants exercised at one time, be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a Common Share, the number of shares the holder is entitled to receive will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.
 

Redemption of Warrants
 
Any Warrants that remain unexercised at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date will be void and no longer exercisable, and the holders of those Warrants will be entitled to receive only the Redemption Price of $0.10 per Warrant. For additional information, including information on how holders may exercise their Warrants, see the Notice of Redemption. For a copy of the Notice of Redemption, please visit the Company’s investor relations website at https://investor.roivant.com. In addition, a copy of the Notice of Redemption was attached as Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 2, 2023, and is available on the website of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.
