With respect to Aaron I. Davis and Boxer Capital, LLC (“Boxer Capital”), this amendment (this “Amendment No. 5”) further amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed on August 7, 2020 (the “Original Filing”) by Boxer Capital, Boxer Asset Management Inc. (“Boxer Management”), Mr. Davis, MVA Investors, LLC and Joe Lewis with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”) of iTeos Therapeutics, Inc.
