Liminal: Arrangement Agreement with Structured Alpha LP

 Liminal BioSciences minority shareholders to receive US$8.50 in cash per share in "go private" transaction

 Liminal BioSciences Inc. ("Liminal BioSciences" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: LMNL) and Structured Alpha LP ("SALP"), a fund managed by Thomvest Asset Management Ltd., today announced that they have entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") under which SALP will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Liminal BioSciences (the "Common Shares") that it does not already own.

Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Liminal BioSciences shareholders (other than SALP and its affiliates or associates) will receive US$8.50 in cash per Common Share, which represents a premium of approximately 135% over Liminal BioSciences' closing share price on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") on April 4, 2023, which was the last full trading day prior to the public announcement of SALP's initial non-binding proposal to acquire the remaining Common Shares of Liminal BioSciences that it does not already own, and is $1.00 per Common Share more than SALP's initial non-binding proposal.

"After an extensive process led by a special committee comprised of disinterested and independent directors, we are pleased to have agreed terms on a transaction with SALP that has the full support of the Liminal BioSciences board. The transaction will deliver immediate value and liquidity to our minority shareholders at a substantial premium," said Bruce Pritchard, Chief Executive Officer of Liminal BioSciences. "Reaching this point is a testament to everything that the entire Liminal BioSciences team has accomplished. We look forward to partnering with SALP to continue to pursue our goal of developing and delivering cutting edge treatment to patients."
