Gentlemen:

You have indicated an interest in an additional investment by MacAndrews & Forbes Group LLC or one of its affiliates (collectively, “MacAndrews”) in Class A common stock, par value $0.01 (“Common Stock”), of vTv Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company”) in an amount of up to $9,000,000. I am pleased to present, for your board’s consideration, the terms on which we would agree to make such an additional investment.

As set forth in more detail in the term sheet attached to this letter (collectively, the term sheet and this letter are referred to as this “Letter”) we agree to invest up to $9,000,000 in the Company, with such commitment remaining available to the Company, at its option, for a period of one year from the date of this Letter (the “Commitment Period”). In exchange, the definitive agreement will provide that the Company will issue to us on each funding date (the “Company Option”) Common Stock at a per share purchase price equal to $1.65 (the “Per Share Price”).

We shall also have the option, during the Commitment Period, to invest in the Company by purchasing up to $9,000,000 of shares of Common Stock at the Per Share Price (the “MacAndrews Option”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Letter, the total value of Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to the Company Option and the MacAndrews Option shall not exceed $9,000,000 in the aggregate. The Company Option may be exercised by you, and the MacAndrews Option may be exercised by us, in each case, by the exercising party delivering a notice (a “Funding Notice”) to the other party, which notice shall specify the aggregate value and number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased by us. Funding Notices from the Company shall be made in writing by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company. MacAndrews shall be limited to three Funding Notices during the Commitment Period; the number of Funding Notices from the Company shall not be limited.

The Company would use the proceeds of any such investment to fund research and development, to pursue growth opportunities and for general corporate purposes.

Our obligation to fund the purchase price and the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock on the terms set forth in this Letter with respect to each investment contemplated by this Letter are subject to the negotiation and execution of a mutually acceptable securities purchase agreement with respect to each such investment.

This Letter shall, upon execution, be binding on the parties hereto. All obligations under this Letter shall remain in full force and effect until the one-year anniversary of this Letter. The completion of the transactions contemplated by this Letter are subject, among other things, to the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement acceptable to each of us. The parties hereto agree that, upon delivery of a Funding Notice in accordance with the terms of this Letter by either party, the parties shall, as promptly as practicable, (i) enter into a securities purchase agreement with respect to the investment contemplated by the Funding Notice, (ii) take all actions and further steps as may be reasonably necessary to complete such investment, and (iii) complete such investment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Letter, failure by either party to comply with the foregoing sentence shall constitute a material breach under this Letter, entitling the non-breaching party to specific performance (it being understood that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach).


Neither this Letter nor any of the provisions hereof may be amended, modified, changed or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. This Letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. This Letter contains the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matters hereof and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements relating to the matters set forth herein. This Letter may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

We continue to be excited about the Company and its prospects. We look forward to implementing a transaction that would be in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders, officers and other employees, and customers.


Very truly yours,

 
MACANDREWS & FORBES GROUP LLC
