On December 16, 2015, CareDx, Inc.

On February 9, 2016, CareDx announced that the common stock component of the Mixed Consideration Alternative in the Offer had been revised from 0.01298 to 0.01458 CareDx common shares per Allenex share.

The offer document concerning the Offer has been approved and registered by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (sw. Finansinspektionen) and published on CareDx’ webpage www.caredx.com, ABG Sundal Collier’s webpage www.abgsundalcollier.com and SEB’s webpage www.sebgroup.com/prospectuses.

Timeline for the Offer

· March 7, 2016: Publication of the offer document

· March 8, 2016 – March 29, 2016: Acceptance period

· April 13, 2016: Estimated date of settlement

The estimated date of settlement takes into account that the date for the release of CareDx' fourth quarter financials and the filing of CareDx' Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 may occur towards the end of the estimated acceptance period, which would require CareDx to publish a supplement to the offer document. The publication of such a supplement may delay CareDx announcement of the result of the Offer and therefore the settlement of the Offer. CareDx reserves the right to extend the acceptance period as well as to postpone the date of settlement. CareDx will announce any extension of the acceptance period and/or postponement of the date of settlement by a press release in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Advisers

CareDx has retained ABG Sundal Collier AB as financial adviser; Baumgarten Byström Rooth & Partners Advokater AB as Swedish legal adviser; and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati as U.S. legal adviser in connection with the Offer.
