The agreement among the Reporting Persons relating to the joint filing of this Schedule 13D is filed as Exhibit 99.3 hereto.

None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years: (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3 Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

In three closings in December 2019, November 2020 and December 2020, AI Day1 acquired 3,338,228 shares of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock of Day One Biopharmaceuticals Holding Company, LLC (“Day One”) at a per share price of $6.7401 in cash. In February 2021, AI Day1 acquired 318,880 shares of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock of Day One at a per share price of $31.3597 in cash. AI Day1 funded these purchases using capital contributed from affiliated entities, which funded that capital using cash on hand.


On May 23, 2021, Day One effected a forward split of its capital stock at a 2.325-for-1 ratio (the “Stock Split”). Following the Stock Split, AI Day1 held 7,761,380 shares of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock of Day One and 741,396 shares of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock of Day One.

Immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Issuer’s registration statement on Form S-1 on May 27, 2021, Day One converted from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation and changed its name to Day One Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Conversion”). In connection with the Conversion, AI Day1 received one share of Series A redeemable convertible stock of the Issuer for each share of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock of Day One and received one share of Series B redeemable convertible stock of the Issuer for each share of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock of Day One. Following the Conversion and immediately prior to the completion of the Issuer’s initial public offering on June 1, 2021, each outstanding share of the Issuer’s Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock and Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock automatically converted into one share of Common Stock, and AI Day1 received an aggregate of 8,502,776 shares of Common Stock.

On June 1, 2021, AI Day1 purchased 875,000 shares of Common Stock in the Issuer’s initial public offering at the public offering price of $16.00 per share. AI Day1 funded this purchase using capital contributed from affiliated entities, which funded that capital using cash on hand.

Item 4 Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons who hold Common Stock directly acquired those securities as an investment in the regular course of their businesses. The Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the Issuer’s board of directors, other stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties concerning the business, operations, board composition, management, strategy and future plans of the Issuer. Daniel Becker, M.D., Ph.D., a biotechnology principal of Access Industries, Inc., which is an affiliate of AI Day1, currently serves on the Issuer’s board of directors. Subject to the terms of the Investors’ Rights Agreement (as defined below), the Reporting Persons intend to re-examine their investment from time to time and, depending on prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements or other investment considerations the Reporting Persons deem material, the Reporting Persons may from time to time acquire additional Common Stock in the open market, block trades, negotiated transactions, or otherwise and may also dispose of all or a portion of the Issuer’s securities, in open market or privately negotiated transactions, and/or enter into derivative transactions with institutional counterparties with respect to the Issuer’s securities, in each case, subject to limitations under applicable law. The Reporting Persons have not yet determined which, if any, of the above courses of action they may ultimately take. The Reporting Persons’ future actions with regard to the Issuer are dependent on their evaluation of the factors listed above, circumstances affecting the Issuer in the future, including prospects of the Issuer, general market and economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to determine in the future whether to change the purpose or purposes described above or whether to adopt plans or proposals of the type specified above or otherwise.

Item 5 Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) and (b) The responses of each of the Reporting Persons with respect to Rows 11, 12, and 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D that relate to the aggregate number and percentage of common stock (including but not limited to footnotes to such information) are incorporated herein by reference.

The responses of each of the Reporting Persons with respect to Rows 7, 8, 9, and 10 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D that relate to the number of common stock as to which each of the persons or entities referenced in Item 2 above has sole or shared power to vote or to direct the vote of and sole or shared power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of (including but not limited to footnotes to such information) are incorporated herein by reference.

9,377,776 shares of Common Stock are owned directly by AI Day1 and may be deemed to be beneficially owned by AIH, AIM and Mr. Blavatnik because (i) AIH indirectly controls all of the outstanding voting interests in AI Day1, (ii) AIM controls AIH and (iii) Mr. Blavatnik controls AIM and holds a majority of the outstanding voting interests in AIH. Each of the Reporting Persons (other than AI Day1), and each of their affiliated entities and the officers, partners, members and managers thereof, disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities.


(c) The following transactions in the Issuer’s securities have been effected by Reporting Persons within the 60 days prior to this filing:

The information set forth in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.

Pursuant to the terms of the Investors’ Rights Agreement, beginning 180 days after the completion of the Issuer’s initial public offering, holders of collectively at least 60% of the Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Issuer’s redeemable convertible preferred stock, which shall include at least one holder of solely the Issuer’s Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock (the “Required Holders”), have the right to require the Issuer to file a registration statement on Form S-1 to register an underwritten offering at least 40% of the Common Stock with an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of selling expenses, of at least $10 million, subject to customary terms and conditions. Beginning 180 days after the completion of the Issuer’s initial public offering, the Required Holders have the right to require the Issuer to file a registration statement on Form S-3 to register outstanding Common Stock of the Required Holders with an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of selling expenses, of at least $2.5 million, subject to customary terms and conditions.

  Re:

Day One Biopharmaceuticals Holding Company LLC — Initial Public Offering Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned, currently an owner of membership interests in Day One Biopharmaceuticals Holding Company LLC, who will become an owner of equity interests in [Day One Biopharmaceuticals], Inc., as the successor entity thereto (together with Day One Biopharmaceuticals Holding LLC, the “Company”), understands that you, as representatives (the “Representatives”), of the several Underwriters, propose to enter into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the Company, providing for the initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters named in Schedule 1 to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriters”), of common stock (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Securities”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.


In consideration of the Underwriters’ agreement to purchase and make the Public Offering of the Securities, and for other good and valuable consideration receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC on behalf of the several Underwriters, the undersigned will not, and will not cause any direct or indirect affiliate to, during the period beginning on the date of this letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) and ending at the close of business 180 days after the date of the final prospectus relating to the Public Offering (the “Prospectus”) (such period, the “Restricted Period”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (including without limitation, Common Stock or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) (collectively with the Common Stock, the “Lock-Up Securities”), (2) enter into any hedging, swap or other agreement or transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise, (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any Lock-Up Securities, or (4) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing precludes the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transactions or arrangements (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) designed or intended, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale or disposition or transfer (whether by the undersigned or any other person) of any economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of any Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise. The undersigned further confirms that it has furnished the Representatives with the details of any transaction the undersigned, or any of its affiliates, is a party to as of the date hereof, which transaction would have been restricted by this Letter Agreement if it had been entered into by the undersigned during the Restricted Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may:

(i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, or for bona fide estate planning purposes,

(ii) by will or intestacy,

(iii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, or if the undersigned is a trust, to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust (for purposes of this Letter Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, current or former marriage, domestic partnership or adoption, not more remote than first cousin),


(iv) to a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned are the legal and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity securities or similar interests,

(v) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (i) through (iv) above,

(vi) if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity, (A) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the undersigned, or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control with the undersigned or affiliates of the undersigned

(including, for the avoidance of doubt, where the undersigned is a partnership, to its general partner or a successor partnership or fund, or any other funds managed by such partnership), or (B) as part of a distribution to members, partners, shareholders or other equityholders of the undersigned,

(vii) by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order, divorce settlement, divorce decree or separation agreement, or related court order,

(viii) to the Company (A) from an employee of the Company upon death, disability or termination of employment, in each case, of such employee, or (B) pursuant to a right of first refusal that the Company has with respect to transfers of such Common Stock or other securities, provided that such right is described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus,

(ix) as part of a sale of the undersigned’s Lock-Up Securities acquired in the Public Offering or in open market transactions after the closing date for the Public Offering,

(x) to the Company in connection with the vesting, settlement, or exercise of restricted stock units, options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock (including, in each case, by way of “net” or “cashless” exercise), including for the payment of exercise price and tax and remittance payments due as a result of the vesting, settlement, or exercise of such restricted stock units, options, warrants or rights, provided that any such shares of Common Stock received upon such exercise, vesting or settlement (other than such shares as are transferred or surrendered to the Company in connection with such vesting, settlement or exercise event) shall be subject to the terms of this Letter Agreement, and provided further that any such restricted stock units, options, warrants or rights are held by the undersigned pursuant to an agreement or equity awards granted under a stock incentive plan or other equity award plan, each such agreement or plan which is described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; provided no public filing, report or announcement reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common
