EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (each a “Registration Statement” and collectively, the “Registration Statements”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Deciphera Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Deciphera”):

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on June 11, 2024, Merger Sub merged with and into Deciphera with Deciphera surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ono.

As a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Deciphera has terminated, as of the date hereof, any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. In accordance with the undertakings made by Deciphera in the Registration Statements to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering, Deciphera hereby removes and withdraws from registration any and all securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statements that remain unsold as of the date hereof, and the Registration Statements are hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities.
