EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) of the Reporting Persons (defined below) relates to the Common Shares, $0.000017727 par value per share (the “Common Shares”), of Myovant Sciences Ltd. (the “Issuer”). The Reporting Persons do not directly own any Common Shares. The Reporting Persons acquired Roivant Sciences Ltd.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The Reporting Persons do not directly own any Common Shares. The Reporting Persons acquired Roivant Sciences Ltd. (“Roivant”) common shares (the “Roivant Common Shares”) on December 8, 2015 pursuant to share purchase agreements using capital invested in the Funds by their investors. The 40,765,599 Common Shares reported herein are directly owned by Roivant.
Prior to the Issuer’s initial public offering on October 26, 2016, Roivant was the Issuer’s majority shareholder. On June 4, 2019, upon the closing of the Issuer’s underwritten public offering of Common Shares conducted pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Offering”), Roivant purchased an additional 2,424,242 Common Shares from the underwriters of the Offering at the public offering price of $8.25 per share. Roivant purchased the Common Shares using cash on hand.
The information set forth or incorporated in Items 4 and 5 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Reporting Persons do not directly own any Common Shares. In addition, the Reporting Persons currently have no plans or proposals, whether effectuated directly or through the Reporting Persons’ relationship with Roivant, that involve the Issuer and that relate to the management of the Issuer, or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D (“13D Transactions”).
Effective July 8, 2016, Dr. Andrew Lo was appointed to the board of directors of Roivant (the “Board”). Dr. Lo is an “independent director” within the meaning of that term under Roivant’s bye-laws. As of the appointment of the independent director, the Reporting Persons voting unanimously with two other major shareholders of Roivant have the right to override certain decisions of the Board under Roivant’s bye-laws, including with respect to dispositions of Common Shares (the “Override Right”). Roivant directly owns the Common Shares that are the subject of this Schedule 13D. As shareholders of Roivant, the Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule 13D because they may be accordingly deemed to have “dispositive power” and, therefore, beneficial ownership, over the Common Shares owned directly by Roivant due to the Override Right.
The filing of this statement shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for the purposes of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owners of any securities covered by this statement. The Reporting Persons may from time to time consider pursuing or proposing 13D Transactions and may discuss, evaluate and/or pursue any such 13D Transactions with their advisors, the Issuer or other persons.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a)-(b) The information contained on each of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2, 3, 4 and 6 are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
The Reporting Persons do not directly own any Common Shares. As described in Item 4 above, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Shares owned directly by Roivant as a result of the Override Right. The aggregate number and percentage of Common Shares owned directly by Roivant (and which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each Reporting Person) are, as of the date hereof: 40,765,599 Common Shares, representing 45.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer.
VGE has the authority to dispose of and vote the Roivant Common Shares directly owned by it, which power may be exercised by its general partner, VGP, and by VGI, an affiliate of VGP, which provides managerial services to VGE.
VGEII has the authority to dispose of and vote the Roivant Common Shares directly owned by it, which power may be exercised by its general partner, VGP, and by VGI, an affiliate of VGP, which provides managerial services to VGEII.
