    We are offering 50,000,000 units (collectively, the units) in a firm commitment underwritten public offering. Each unit consists of (i) one share of our common stock and (ii) a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock (which equates to 100% warrant coverage) at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, which will be immediately exercisable and will expire five years from the date of issuance (a Warrant).

    The shares of common stock and the accompanying warrants can only be purchased together in this offering but will be issued separately and will be immediately separable upon issuance.

    This prospectus supplement also relates to the offering of the shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants.

    Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “TNYA.” On December 11, 2025, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $1.36 per share. There is no established public trading market for the Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not intend to list the Warrants on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, any other national securities exchange or any other recognized trading system.

    We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws and as such, we have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus supplement and may elect to do so for future filings. See “Prospectus Supplement Summary—Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company.”

    Company Overview

    We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing and delivering potentially curative therapies that address the underlying drivers of heart disease. Our vision is to change the treatment paradigm for heart disease, and in doing so improve and extend the lives of millions of patients.

    We are advancing a deep and diverse modality agnostic pipeline of targeted therapies for heart conditions discovered internally using our extensive target identification and validation and genetic medicine design and manufacturing capabilities. All of our programs are currently in the clinical or preclinical stage; we do not have any products approved for sale and have not generated any revenue to date.

    We are primarily focused on development of our lead investigational product candidates, TN-201, a gene therapy for MYBPC3-associated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and TN-401, a gene therapy for PKP2-associated arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Each candidate is currently in the clinical testing stage to establish the safety profile of two different doses in adults with disease due to pathogenic/likely pathogenic mutations. We anticipate that data generated in the next year will inform late-stage development by characterizing each candidate’s safety and tolerability profile, ability to transduce target heart cells and produce the lacking protein underlying disease to slow - or even halt - disease progression. Where our discovery efforts lead to product candidates intended for relatively prevalent indications, such as TN-301, our small molecule histone deacetylase-6 (HDAC6) inhibitor for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), our strategy is to out-license or partner with third parties.

    TN-201 is our investigational gene therapy for individuals with HCM due to MYBPC3 gene mutations. These mutations result in a deficiency of myosin binding protein C (MyBP-C), which in turn can cause the heart walls of affected individuals to become significantly thickened, leading to fibrosis, abnormal heart rhythms, cardiac dysfunction, heart failure and death. HCM is a chronic, progressive condition and those diagnosed with the disease often experience significant impairment in overall quality of life and may be at higher risk for serious complications and co-morbidities. TN-201 utilizes a recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) capsid and is designed to deliver a working MYBPC3 gene to specific cells of the heart in order to produce MyBP-C and thereby potentially slow or even reverse the course of MYBPC3-associated HCM following a single infusion.

    MyPEAKTM-1 is our Phase 1b/2a multi-center, open-label clinical trial, designed to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a one-time intravenous infusion of TN-201. Enrollment and dosing in both the 3E13 vg/kg dose (Cohort 1) and 6E13 vg/kg dose (Cohort 2) cohorts are complete. In summer 2025, the independent data safety monitoring board (DSMB) for the MyPEAK-1 trial reviewed all available data from the first six patients dosed with TN-201. The DSMB determined that TN-201 had an acceptable safety profile and endorsed proceeding into

     

    S-5


    Table of Contents

    expansion cohorts at either dose level, per protocol. We have since dosed one additional patient at the 6E13 vg/kg dose level with no new meaningful safety events associated with TN-201.

    In November 2025, we presented interim data from MyPEAK-1 during the Late-Breaking Science: Main Event session at the American Heart Association’s (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2025. Interim data presented at AHA included safety, biopsy and efficacy results for the three patients enrolled in Cohort 1 with follow-up ranging from Week 52-78, and safety and available assessments for the patients in Cohort 2 who have post-dose assessments ranging from Week 12-26 as of the July 2025 data cut off. Patient 5 was lost to further follow-up after week 12. TN-201 was generally well tolerated across both dose cohorts and no dose-limiting toxicities were observed. Reversible, asymptomatic liver enzyme elevations (Grade 1-3) were the most common treatment-related adverse events (AEs) reported. There were two treatment-related AEs classified as serious either due to inpatient administration of steroids or extended monitoring; a Grade 2 transaminase elevation that responded to steroids and a Grade 1 elevation of complement factors that resolved without additional intervention. Adjustments to monitoring and immunosuppression during Cohort 1 resulted in faster tapers and lower cumulative corticosteroid doses in Cohort 2, despite the higher TN-201 dose.

    Biopsy data demonstrated that TN-201 transduction and mRNA expression were robust. DNA and RNA analyses of all three patients in Cohort 1 show evidence of sustained presence of TN-201 DNA in the heart and increasing mRNA expression over time. MyBP-C protein levels also increased over time across all patients in both cohorts for whom serial biopsies were available. In Cohort 1 patient protein levels increased by an average of 4% from the first biopsy taken to Week 52. The first evaluable patient in Cohort 2 (Patient 6) demonstrated a clear dose response, and early MyBP-C expression increased by 14% after only 12 weeks post-dose. Of note, Patient 6 had a greater than 2-fold increase in cardiac transduction and expression at Week 12 relative to the averages for these measures observed across Cohort 1.

    All patients with greater than 26 weeks of follow-up demonstrated improvement in at least one parameter of disease, across biomarkers, hypertrophy and heart failure symptoms. Cardiac Troponin I, a predictive risk factor of cardiac AEs such as ventricular arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, and progression to end-stage heart failure, declined by as much as 74% from baseline, to normal or near-normal levels in all Cohort 1 patients. NT-proBNP, a biomarker of cardiac muscle strain, improved or remained stable in two of three Cohort 1 patients. Cardiac Troponin I remained within the normal range and NT-proBNP remained stable for Patient 4 from Cohort 2 at their Week 26 assessment. All three patients in Cohort 1 now have evidence of significant improvement in one or more measures of hypertrophy at Week 52, with notable reductions in left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT) of between 21% and 39%. LVPWT for Patient 4 in Cohort 2 was stable at Week 26. Greater LVPWT is an independent risk factor for reduced long-term survival after septal myectomy. Two out of three Cohort 1 patients saw reductions from baseline in left ventricular mass index (LVMI) of between 12% and 22% at Week 52. LVMI for Patient 4 in Cohort 2 was stable at Week 26. New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, a measure of the impact of heart failure symptoms on activities of daily living, improved in all patients by at least one class by Week 26, and all Cohort 1 patients are now NYHA Class I (asymptomatic). Longer-term follow-up for all patients is required to further inform our understanding of TN-201’s potential as a treatment for MYBPC3-associated HCM.

    Following proactive correspondence with the FDA relating to future development plans for TN-201, on November 7, 2025, we announced that the FDA placed MyPEAK-1 on clinical hold requesting an amendment to the protocol primarily to standardize activities related to patient monitoring and management of the immunosuppression regimen across trial sites. We worked swiftly and collaboratively with the FDA to resolve the clinical hold and have received official notification from the FDA that the clinical hold has been removed. We intend to resume dosing once the protocol changes have been implemented at trial sites and expect to present two-year Cohort 1 and one-year Cohort 2 data in the first half of 2026. We do not expect this action to impact data milestones or development timelines for TN-201.

    To support our development efforts for TN-201 we are conducting two noninterventional studies: a study evaluating seroprevalence to AAV9 antibodies among adults with MYBPC3-associated HCM, and MyClimb, a prospective and retrospective global natural history study focused on pediatric patients with MYBPC3 mutation-associated cardiomyopathy. The seroprevalence study has completed enrollment. Initial data from the seroprevalence study indicated that antibodies to AAV9 in most participants were below the eligibility threshold that would allow for participation in MyPEAK-1. The MyClimb natural history study is following patient medical history to characterize the outcomes, burden of illness, risk factors, quality of life, and biomarkers associated with disease progression in pediatric patients. MyClimb complements existing disease registries focused primarily on adult patient HCM populations and may support and expedite the development of TN-201 in the pediatric patient population. Initial data from MyClimb indicated that 93% of participants had the nonobstructive HCM phenotype, for which there are currently no approved treatment options and that genotypic status was a significant predictor of risk. The data also revealed that left ventricular mass index may serve as a surrogate marker for poor long-term outcomes and as an appropriate marker to evaluate the early effectiveness of TN-201’s potential in a future pivotal trial.

    The FDA has granted TN-201 Fast Track, Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Drug Designations. TN-201 has also received orphan medicinal product designation from the European Commission (EC).

    TN-401 is our AAV9-based gene therapy for the treatment of ARVC due to disease-causing variants in the PKP2 gene. ARVC, also known as arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, or ACM, is a chronic, progressive disease characterized by frequent, severe, and potentially life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. The disease is associated with adverse heart remodeling, fibrosis, cardiac dysfunction, significant impairment to patients’ overall quality of life, as well as an elevated risk of sudden cardiac death. PKP2 mutations are the most common genetic cause of ARVC and result in insufficient expression of a protein needed for proper functioning of the desmosomal complex that maintains physical connections and electrical signaling between heart muscle cells. TN-401 utilizes a recombinant AAV9 capsid and is designed to deliver a working PKP2 gene to specific cells of the heart in order to produce plakophilin protein and thereby potentially slow or even reverse the course of PKP2-associated ARVC following a single infusion.

    RIDGETM-1 is our Phase 1b multi-center, open-label clinical trial, designed to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a one-time intravenous infusion of TN-401. In July 2025, safety data from the first three RIDGE-1 patients dosed at the 3E13 vg/kg dose (Cohort 1) were reviewed by an independent DSMB which endorsed both dose escalation to the 6E13 vg/kg dose (Cohort 2) and expanding enrollment in Cohort 1. Enrollment in Cohort 2 is now complete, and we may enroll additional patients in Cohort 1. Additional enrollment in Cohort 2 will be considered following a review of all available safety data by the DSMB.

    In December 2025, we presented interim data from RIDGE-1, including safety, biopsy and arrhythmia results as of the October 2025 data cut off for three patients enrolled in Cohort 1, with follow-up ranging from Week 20 to Week 40. TN-401 was generally well tolerated and no dose-limiting toxicities were observed. AEs were generally mild, asymptomatic and manageable and a majority of the AEs were deemed unrelated to TN-401. Among the AEs related to TN-401, there was a Grade 1 incidence of elevated troponin levels categorized as a serious AE due to inpatient monitoring. There were no incidents of thrombotic microangiopathy or cardiotoxicities observed and no arrhythmias associated with TN-401 occurred. To date, none of the Cohort 1 patients have experienced an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shock post treatment. All Cohort 1 patients have tapered off prophylactic immunosuppressive medicines. No new serious AEs related to TN-401 have been reported in Cohort 2.

    Serial biopsies taken at baseline and Week 8 post dose for Patients 1 and 2 provided consistent evidence that TN-401 transduced to the heart, with vector copy number (VCN) per genome of 3.4 and 5, respectively. VCN data for Patient 3 was not available as of the data cut off. At Week 8, TN-401 mRNA expression ranged from

     

    S-7


    Table of Contents

    1.4x104 - 2.9x105 copies per microgram of RNA for the three patients in Cohort 1, serving as confirmation of early and robust expression across all three patients. Post-treatment protein levels of PKP2 increased significantly in Patients 1 and 2 by a mean of 10% from baseline to Week 8 based on rigorous methods to measure protein increases using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry normalized to myosin heavy chain, a motor protein in the sarcomere found exclusively in cardiomyocytes. Change from baseline in PKP2 protein levels for Patient 3 appeared slightly lower than baseline despite having the highest levels of TN-401 mRNA expression across Cohort 1. This confounding result falls within the standard deviation of these methods and may be due to the inherent variability in sampling biopsies. A second post-dose biopsy will be collected and analyzed from Week 52 per protocol.

    Two of three patients experienced significant and clinically meaningful improvements in electrical instability, as measured by seven-day ambulatory monitoring of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). Patient 1 experienced a decrease in PVCs by 46% as of their most recent (Week 40) visit, while Patient 2 experienced a decrease in PVCs of 89% as of their most recent (Week 32) visit. Non-sustained ventricular tachycardias (NSVTs) burden was eliminated or stable after treatment with TN-401 after six months post-dose. Patient 1 had a low NSVT count at baseline, which remained low at their most recent visit (Week 40). Patient 2 also had a substantial NSVT burden of 78 counts per 24 hour period at baseline that dropped all the way to zero and remained stable by Week 32. Meaningful changes in PVCs or NSVTs were not expected nor observed for Patient 3 as of the data cut off, which was less than six months following treatment with TN-401. Other measures of clinical response including QRS duration, T wave inversions, heart function and NYHA class were in the normal range or remained stable for all three Cohort 1 patients during the post-dose follow-up period. We expect to present one-year Cohort 1 data and early Cohort 2 data in the first half of 2026.

    In February 2025, we were awarded a Clinical Grant (Clin2) of $8.0 million from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), a state of California Agency that funds regenerative medicine, stem cell, and gene therapy research. Proceeds from the grant will help fund clinical trial costs for our ongoing Phase 1b RIDGE-1 clinical trial of TN-401 gene therapy. RIDGE-1 is being conducted at multiple clinical trial sites with ARVC expertise at leading cardiology centers in the U.S. and United Kingdom.

    In support of our development efforts for TN-401, we initiated RIDGE, a global noninterventional study to collect natural history and seroprevalence to AAV9 antibodies data among ARVC patients who carry pathogenic or likely pathogenic PKP2 gene mutations. Interim data from RIDGE, believed to be the largest natural history study of adults with PKP2-associated ARVC was presented at Heart Rhythm Society’s annual meeting in April 2025. Adults with PKP2-associated ARVC experience a high burden of arrhythmias despite treatments with anti-arrhythmic medications, beta blockers and the anti-arrhythmic flecainide, as well as surgical interventions such as ablation and ICD placement. Further, current treatments appeared to do little to halt or prevent progressive structural changes to the heart that occur as a result of PKP2 mutations. A large majority of adults with PKP2-associated ARVC would be eligible to participate in our ongoing Phase 1b RIDGE-1 clinical trial of TN-401 gene therapy based on low levels of antibodies to AAV9.

    TN-401 has received Orphan Drug and Fast Track designation from the FDA and orphan medicinal product designation from the EC.

    TN-301 is our small molecule HDAC6 inhibitor initially discovered and validated as having cardioprotective qualities in preclinical studies of a rapidly worsening mouse model of BAG3 mutant dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). HDAC6 is a cytoplasmic enzyme known to regulate diverse cellular processes. Based on TN-301’s multi-modal mechanism of action, TN-301 may have future potential in a number of cardiometabolic conditions.

    Extensive in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that TN-301 addresses diverse pathological processes with direct and systemic benefits in models of HFpEF. In comparative studies, selective HDAC6 inhibition as a single

     

    S-8


    Table of Contents

    agent has been shown to have similar efficacy to empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor which is approved for the treatment of HFpEF and co-administration of our HDAC6 inhibition with a SGLT2 inhibitor in a HFpEF mouse model demonstrated additive benefit. 

    We shared positive data from our Phase 1 clinical trial of TN-301 in healthy participants at the 2023 Heart Failure Society of America Annual Scientific Meeting. TN-301 was generally well tolerated across the broad range of doses studied. Pharmacokinetic results showed overall dose proportionality with a half-life supportive of once-daily dosing. Increasing doses and exposures with TN-301 correlated with increased pharmacodynamic effects. There were no changes in histone acetylation with TN-301 underscoring the selectivity of TN-301 for HDAC6 and potentially reducing the risk of off target effects. Taken together, these data support continued development of TN-301 as a potential treatment for patients with HFpEF and other severe diseases - including those outside of cardiology- in which inflammation, fibrosis and metabolic dysregulation may be implicated. We believe late-stage clinical development of TN-301 for more prevalent indications is best suited for development by or with a well-resourced partner.

    In addition to our clinical-stage candidates, we have multiple early-stage programs using various therapeutic approaches, including gene addition, gene editing, gene silencing, and cellular regeneration to address other forms of rare and/or prevalent heart disease.

    Early on in our company history, we invested in differentiated capabilities to enable modality-agnostic target identification and validation, anchored in human genetics and the use of human disease models. That proprietary expertise has directly informed the design, optimization and production of our pipeline. To support our initial focus on gene therapy candidates, we internalized expertise in capsid engineering, novel promoter constructs and manufacturing anchored on the use of AAVs as the method of delivery to the heart with the aim of increasing the safety and efficacy of our product candidates and accelerating early-stage discovery and preclinical optimization across modalities.

    For the production of our lead gene therapy candidates, we maintained complete ownership of process development, analytical development, and quality control and have already produced all necessary clinical trial material needed for our current clinical trials at our Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP)-certified Genetic Medicines Manufacturing Center in Union City, California.

    Risk Factors Summary

    The below summary of risk factors provides an overview of many of the risks we are exposed to in the normal course of our business activities and risks related to this offering. As a result, the below summary risks do not contain all of the information that may be important to you, and you should read the summary risks together with the more detailed discussion of risks set forth following this section under the heading “Risk Factors,” as well as elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. Additional risks, beyond those summarized below or discussed elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein by reference, may apply to our activities or operations as currently conducted or as we may conduct them in the future or in the markets in which we operate or may in the future operate. Consistent with the foregoing, we are exposed to a variety of risks, including risks associated with the following:

     

      •  

    We are early in our development efforts, with a limited operating history, and have no products approved for commercial sale, which may make it difficult for you to evaluate our current business and likelihood of success and future viability.

     

      •  

    We have not generated any product revenue to date, have incurred significant net losses since our inception and expect to continue to incur significant net losses for the foreseeable future.

     

    S-9


    Table of Contents
      •  

    Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability depends significantly on our ability to achieve several objectives relating to the discovery, development and commercialization of our product candidates, if approved.

     

      •  

    We require substantial additional capital to finance our operations, which if available, may cause dilution to our stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or product candidates. If we are unable to raise such capital when needed, or on acceptable terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce and/or eliminate one or more of our research and drug development programs or future commercialization efforts.

     

      •  

    Our loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, requires us to comply with specified operating covenants and places restrictions on our operating and financial flexibility.

     

      •  

    Our product candidates are in the early stages of development, and we have no products approved for commercial sale. If we are unable to successfully develop, receive regulatory approval for, manufacture and commercialize our product candidates, or successfully develop any other product candidates, or experience significant delays in doing so, our business will be harmed.

     

      •  

    We intend to identify and develop gene therapy product candidates based on novel technology, and because the regulatory landscape that governs any product candidates we may develop is rigorous, complex, uncertain and subject to change, we cannot predict the time and cost of obtaining regulatory approval, if we receive it at all, for any product candidates we may develop.

     

      •  

    The mechanisms of action of our product candidates are unproven, and we do not know whether we will be able to develop any drug of commercial value.

     

      •  

    Drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. The preclinical studies, clinical trials and post-marketing studies of our product candidates may not demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA, European Medicines Agency (EMA) or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities or otherwise produce positive results and the results of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of future results. We may incur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our product candidates.

     

      •  

    Our product candidates may cause serious adverse events, toxicities or other undesirable side effects when used alone or in combination with other approved products or investigational new drugs that may result in a safety profile that could delay or prevent regulatory approval, or market acceptance, or even if approval is received, require them to be taken off the market, include new safety warnings, contraindications or precautions, or otherwise limit their commercial potential or result in significant negative consequences.

     

      •  

    Due to the significant resources required for the development of product candidates, and depending on our ability to access capital, we must prioritize development of certain programs and product candidates. Moreover, we may expend our limited resources on programs or product candidates that do not yield a successful product and fail to capitalize on product candidates or indications that may be more profitable or for which there is a greater likelihood of success.

     

      •  

    Due to our limited manufacturing experience, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully manufacture product candidates to support our clinical development and commercialization plans.

     

      •  

    The regulatory approval processes of the FDA, EMA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities are lengthy, time consuming and inherently unpredictable. If we are ultimately unable to obtain regulatory approval of our product candidates, we will be unable to generate product revenue and our business will be substantially harmed.

     

    S-10


    Table of Contents
      •  

    If we are unable to obtain, maintain, protect, defend and enforce patent and other intellectual property coverage for our technology and product candidates, our competitors could develop and commercialize technology and product candidates similar or identical to ours, and our ability to commercialize our technology and product candidates may be adversely affected.

     

      •  

    Our commercial success depends significantly on our ability to operate without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the patents and other intellectual property and proprietary rights of third parties.

     

      •  

    We rely on third parties to conduct our preclinical studies and our clinical trials, and plan to rely on third parties to conduct such future drug development activities. These third parties may not perform satisfactorily, including failing to meet completion deadlines, or to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, which may harm our business.

     

      •  

    Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause our stock price to fall. There is no public market for the Warrants being offered in this offering.

     

      •  

    Holders of the Warrants will have no rights as common stockholders until such holders exercise their Warrants and acquire our common stock.

     

      •  

    Significant holders or beneficial owners of our common stock may not be permitted to exercise the Warrants that they hold.

    Corporate Information

    We were incorporated in Delaware in August 2016. Our principal executive offices are located at 171 Oyster Point Boulevard, Suite 500, South San Francisco, CA 94080. Our telephone number is (650) 825-6990. Our website address is www.tenayatherapeutics.com. Information contained on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and should not be considered to be part of this prospectus supplement. The inclusion of our website address in this prospectus supplement is an inactive textual reference only.

    We make available free of charge on or through our website our Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, including our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC.

    Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company

    We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the JOBS Act). We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue; (2) the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; (3) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period; and (4) the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering, which will be December 31, 2026. As a result of this status, we have taken advantage of reduced reporting requirements in this prospectus and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in our future filings with the SEC. In particular, in this prospectus supplement, we have incorporated only two years of audited financial statements and have not included all of the executive compensation related information that would be required if we were not an emerging growth company. In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth

     

    S-11


    Table of Contents

    company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (1) are no longer an emerging growth company and (2) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

    We are also a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates plus the proposed aggregate amount of gross proceeds to us as a result of this offering is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company after this offering if either (1) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (2) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

    RISK FACTORS

    Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making a decision to invest in our securities, in addition to carefully considering the other information contained in this prospectus supplement, in the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein, you should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the risks discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement in their entirety. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could harm our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.”

    Risks Related to this Offering

    The vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and the exercise of our outstanding options and warrants will dilute stockholders and could decrease our stock price.

    The vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and the exercise of our outstanding options and warrants may adversely affect our stock price due to sales of a large number of shares or the perception that such sales could occur. These factors also could make it more difficult to raise funds through future offerings of our securities and could adversely impact the terms under which we could obtain additional equity capital. Exercise of outstanding options and warrants or any future issuance of additional shares of common stock or other securities, including, but not limited to preferred stock, options, warrants, restricted stock units or other derivative securities convertible into our common stock, may result in significant dilution to our stockholders and may decrease our stock price.

    Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause our stock price to fall.

    As of September 30, 2025, we had 163,744,535 shares of our common stock outstanding. If our stockholders sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell, a substantial amount of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time, including by us pursuant to our existing ATM Program, under which, as of December 10, 2025, we may issue and sell up to approximately $69.8 million in additional shares of our common stock.

    Shares issued upon the exercise of stock options or the vesting of restricted stock units outstanding under our equity incentive plans or pursuant to future awards granted under those plans will become available for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by the provisions of applicable vesting schedules and by Rule 144 and by Rule 701 under the Securities Act.

    Our management team will have broad discretion to use the net proceeds from this offering and its investment of these proceeds may not yield a favorable return.

    Our management team will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend or invest the proceeds in ways that may not yield a favorable return or enhance the value of our common stock. Accordingly, investors will need to rely on our management team’s judgment with respect to the use of these proceeds. We intend to use the proceeds from this offering in the manner described in the section

     

    S-15


    Table of Contents

    titled “Use of Proceeds.” The failure by management to apply these funds effectively could negatively affect our ability to operate and grow our business. We cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering. In addition, the amount, allocation and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including any milestone payments received from any future strategic partnerships. Accordingly, we will have broad discretion in using these proceeds. Until the net proceeds are used, they may be placed in investments that do not produce significant income or that may lose value.

    We do not anticipate paying cash dividends and, accordingly, stockholders must rely on share appreciation for any return on their investment.

    We have never paid any dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our businesses and do not anticipate that we will declare or pay any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. See the section titled “Dividend Policy.” As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain on your investment for the foreseeable future. Investors seeking cash dividends should not invest in our common stock.

    You will experience immediate dilution in the book value per share of the securities you purchase in this offering.

    Because the price per unit is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the securities you purchase in this offering. Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025, was approximately $82.9 million, or $0.51 per share of our common stock. Therefore, if you purchase units in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $0.55 per share with respect to the net tangible book value of our common stock, based on the sale of 50,000,000 units in total at an offering price of $1.20 per unit (assuming no exercise of any Warrants sold in this offering). See the section titled “Dilution” in this prospectus supplement for a detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you participate in this offering.

    Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our stockholders, including purchasers of our securities in this offering, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish substantial rights.

    To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of these new securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a common stockholder. Debt financing, if available, may involve fixed payment obligations or agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through partnerships, collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, product candidates or future revenue streams, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain additional funding if and when necessary. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis, we could be required to delay, scale back or eliminate one or more of our clinical, preclinical or discovery programs or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves. In addition, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans.

    Our operating results may fluctuate significantly or may fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, each of which may cause our stock price to fluctuate or decline.

    We expect our operating results to be subject to fluctuations. Our net loss and other operating results will be affected by numerous factors, including:

     

      •  

    variations in the level of expense related to the ongoing development of our product candidates or future development programs;

     

    S-16


    Table of Contents
      •  

    results of preclinical studies and clinical trials, or the addition or termination of preclinical studies and clinical trials or funding support by us or potential future collaborators;

     

      •

      •  

    any intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or violation lawsuit or opposition, interference or cancellation proceeding in which we may become involved;

     

      •  

    additions and departures of key personnel;

      •  

    regulatory developments affecting our product candidates or those of our competitors; and

     

      •  

    changes in general market and economic conditions.

    If our operating results or announcements related to our product candidates fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our common stock could decline substantially. Furthermore, any fluctuations in our operating results or announcements related to our product candidates may, in turn, cause the price of our stock to fluctuate substantially. We believe that comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance.

    There is no public market for the Warrants being offered in this offering.

    There is no public trading market for the Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to list the Warrants on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system, and we do not intend to make any of the Warrants eligible to be traded through the facilities of DTC or any other clearinghouse. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Warrants will be limited.

    Holders of the Warrants will have no rights as common stockholders until such holders exercise their Warrants and acquire our common stock.

    Until holders of the Warrants exercise their Warrants, and acquire shares of our common stock, such holders will have no rights with respect to the shares of our common stock underlying such Warrants.

    Significant holders or beneficial owners of our common stock may not be permitted to exercise the Warrants that they hold.

    A holder of the Warrants will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any warrant that, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause (i) the aggregate number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% or, at the election of the holder prior to the issuance of such warrant, 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise; or (ii) the combined voting power of our securities beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% or, at the election of the holder prior to the issuance of such warrant, 9.99% of the combined voting power of all of our securities outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants and subject to such holder’s rights under the Warrants, as applicable, to increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% (or at the election of the holder prior to the issuance of the such warrant, 9.99%) upon at

    least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us. As a result, you may not be able to exercise your Warrants for shares of our common stock at a time when it would be financially beneficial for you to do so. In such a circumstance, you could seek to sell your Warrants to realize value, but you may be unable to do so in the absence of an established trading market.

    USE OF PROCEEDS

    We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the issuance and sale of units in this offering will be approximately $55.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Warrants issued in this offering.

    We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, to fund the ongoing and planned development of our clinical and early-stage product candidates, particularly TN-201 and TN-401, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

    Pending the specific use of net proceeds as described in this prospectus supplement, we intend to invest the net proceeds to us from this offering in short and intermediate-term investment grade instruments, certificates of deposit or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government in accordance with our investment policy.

    Our expected use of proceeds from this offering represents our current intentions based on our present plans and business condition. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering or the actual amounts that we will spend on the uses set forth above. We may also use a portion of the proceeds to in-license, acquire or invest in additional businesses, technologies, products or assets. Although we have no specific agreements, commitments or understandings with respect to any in-licensing activity or acquisition, we evaluate these opportunities and engage in related discussions with other companies from time to time.

    The net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, will not be sufficient for us to fund our clinical programs into late-stage development, and we will need to raise additional capital to achieve our business objectives.

    The amount and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the results of our research and development efforts, the timing and outcome of any ongoing or future preclinical studies and clinical trials the timing and outcome of regulatory submissions and any unforeseen cash needs. As a result, our management will have broad discretion over the use of the proceeds from this offering.

    DILUTION

    If you invest in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the offering price of our common stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.

    Our historical net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025, was approximately $82.9 million, or approximately $0.51 per share of common stock based upon 163,744,535 shares outstanding as of September 30, 2025. Historical net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025.

    After giving effect to the sale by us of 50,000,000 units in this offering (which assumes no exercise of the Warrants sold in this offering) based on the offering price of $1.20 per unit, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025 would have been $138.7 million, or $0.65 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.14 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $0.55 in net tangible book value per share to new investors participating in this offering. Dilution per share to new investors is determined by subtracting as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering from the offering price per unit paid by new investors.

    The following table illustrates this calculation on a per share basis.

      •  

    36,997,500 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of our Series B Warrants as of September 30, 2025, at an exercise price of $0.70 per share;

    7,500 shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of Series A Warrants after September 30, 2025;

     

      •  

    2,753,750 shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of Series B Warrants after September 30, 2025;

     

      •

    1,785,929 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2021 Plan) as of September 30, 2025, as well as shares that become available pursuant to provisions in our 2021 Plan that automatically increase the share reserve thereunder each year;

      •  

    50,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants sold in this offering.

    To the extent that outstanding options or restricted stock awards or warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2025 have been or may be exercised or other shares issued, including pursuant to our 2021 ESPP or our 2024 Plan, investors purchasing our securities in this offering may experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities or other equity-linked securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

    DIVIDEND POLICY

    We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business. We do not intend to pay cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Payment of future cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs, the requirements and contractual restrictions of then-existing debt instruments, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.

    DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

    The following is a brief summary of certain terms and conditions of the Warrants being offered by this prospectus supplement. The following description is subject in all respects to the provisions contained in the Warrants.

    Warrants

    The following is a brief summary of certain terms and conditions of the Warrants being offered by this prospectus supplement. The following description is subject in all respects to the provisions contained in the Warrants.

    Form

    The Warrants will be issued as individual warrant agreements to the investors. The form of Warrant will also be filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K that we expect to file with the SEC.

    Term

    The Warrants will expire five years from the date of original issuance.

    Exercisability

    The Warrants are exercisable at any time on or after their original issuance. The Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of common stock purchased upon such exercise. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, the number of shares shall be rounded down to the next whole number and we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the exercise date.

    Exercise Limitations

    We may not effect the exercise of any Warrant, and a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any Warrant that, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause: (i) the aggregate number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% or, at the election of the holder prior to the issuance of the warrant, 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise; or (ii) the combined voting power of our securities beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% or, at the election of the holder prior to the issuance of the warrant, 9.99% of the combined voting power of all of our securities outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. However, any holder of a Warrant may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% (or at the election of the holder prior to the issuance of the Warrant, 9.99%) upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us.

    Exercise Price

    The exercise price per whole share of our common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is $1.50 per share of common stock. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders.

     

    S-23


    Table of Contents

    Cashless Exercise

    If, at the time a holder exercises its Warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Warrants.

    Transferability

    Subject to applicable laws, the Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

    Delivery of Warrant Shares

    Upon exercise of the Warrants, upon the request of the holder, we will credit such aggregate number of shares of common stock to which the holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC.

    Amendment

    The Warrants may be amended only with the written consent of the holder.

    Exchange Listing

    There is no established trading market for the Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not plan on applying to list the Warrants on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, any other national securities exchange or any other nationally recognized trading system.

    Fundamental Transactions

    In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding common stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding common stock, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. In the event a holder does not exercise its Warrants in connection with a fundamental transaction, such holder’s Warrants will be deemed exercised in full pursuant to the “cashless exercise” mechanism described above upon the consummation of such transaction.

    In the event a holder does not exercise its Warrants in connection with a fundamental transaction, we or our successor or acquiring corporation shall, at such holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within thirty days after, the consummation of the fundamental transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable fundamental transaction), purchase the Warrant from the holder by paying to the holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of the Warrants on the date of the consummation of such fundamental transaction, subject to certain limitations and conditions as set forth in the Warrant.

    Rights as a Stockholder

    MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

    The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock and Warrants acquired in this offering, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating thereto. Because the components of a unit are generally separable at the option of the holder, you will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as the owner of the applicable underlying common stock and/or Warrants. As a result, the discussion below with respect to beneficial owners of common stock or Warrants will also apply to beneficial owners of units. This summary is based upon the provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof. These authorities may be changed, possibly retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those set forth below. We have not sought, and do not intend to seek, any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will agree with such statements and conclusions.

    This summary also does not address the tax considerations arising under the laws of any non-U.S., state or local jurisdiction, under U.S. federal gift and estate tax rules nor does it address any aspects of the alternative minimum tax, the special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code, or the Medicare tax on net investment income. In addition, this discussion does not address tax considerations applicable to an investor’s particular circumstances or to investors that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

     

      •  

    banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts or other financial institutions;

     

      •  

    tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

     

      •  

    pension plans and tax-qualified retirement plans;

     

      •  

    controlled foreign corporations, foreign controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

     

      •  

    brokers or dealers in securities or currencies;

     

      •  

    traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;

     

      •  

    persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than five percent of our capital stock and/or Warrants (except to the extent specifically set forth below);

     

      •  

    certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

     

      •  

    persons who acquired our common stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation;

     

      •  

    persons who hold our common stock or Warrants as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion transaction” or other risk reduction transaction;

     

      •  

    persons who do not hold our common stock or Warrants as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment); or

     

      •  

    persons deemed to sell our common stock or Warrants under the constructive sale provisions of the Code.

    In addition, if a partnership, entity or arrangement classified as a partnership or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our common stock or Warrants, the tax treatment of a partner (or an owner) in such partnership or other entity generally will depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership or other entity. A partner (or an owner) in a partnership or other such entity that will hold our

     

    S-26


    Table of Contents

    common stock or Warrants should consult his, her or its own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock or Warrants through a partnership or other such entity, as applicable.

    You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock or Warrants, arising under the U.S. federal gift or estate tax rules or under the laws of any state, local, non-U.S. or other taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.

    U.S. Holder and Non-U.S. Holder Defined

    For purposes of this discussion, you are a “U.S. holder” if you are a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or other entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of our common stock or Warrants that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is:

     

      •  

    an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

     

      •  

    a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or otherwise treated as such for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

     

      •  

    an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

     

      •  

    a trust (1) whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and that has one or more U.S. persons (within the meaning of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) that has made a valid election under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

    For purposes of this discussion, you are a “non-U.S. holder” if you are a beneficial owner of our common stock or Warrants that is not a U.S. holder or a partnership (or other entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

    Allocation of Purchase Price

    No statutory, administrative or judicial authority directly addresses the treatment of a unit or instruments similar to them, for federal income tax purposes, and therefore, that treatment is not entirely clear. Under general U.S. federal income tax principles, the acquisition of a unit should be treated as the acquisition of one share of common stock and one Warrant to acquire one share of our common stock. The purchase price for each investment unit must be allocated by you between these two components in proportion to their relative fair market values at the time you purchase the unit. Under U.S. federal income tax law, each investor must make his or her own determination of these values based on all the facts and circumstances. Therefore, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the determination of value for these purposes. This allocation of the purchase price for each unit will establish your initial tax basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the share of common stock and the Warrant included in each unit.

    Any disposition of a unit will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a disposition of the share of common stock and the Warrant, as applicable, and the amount realized on the disposition must be allocated by you between the components according to their respective relative fair market values (as determined by you based on all the relevant facts and circumstances) at the time of disposition. The separation of the share of common stock and the Warrant included in each unit should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the allocation of the purchase price for a unit.

    The foregoing treatment of the units, common stock and Warrants, and your purchase price allocation, are not binding on the IRS or the courts. Because there are no authorities that directly address instruments that are

     

    S-27


    Table of Contents

    similar to the units, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court will agree with the characterization described above or the discussion below. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the characterization of the units described above is respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

    Tax Consequences Applicable to U.S. Holders

    Distributions

    We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business. We do not intend to pay cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions on our common stock, those payments will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those distributions exceed both our current and our accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will constitute a return of capital and will first reduce your basis in our common stock, but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from the sale of stock as described below under “Tax Consequences Applicable to U.S. Holders—Gain on Disposition of Common Stock or Warrants.” If you are a non-corporate U.S. holder, and certain requirements are met, a preferential U.S. federal income tax rate will apply to any dividends paid to you if you meet certain holding period requirements.

    If you are a corporate shareholder, distributions constituting dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will generally be eligible for the dividends received deduction, or DRD. No assurance can be given that we will have sufficient earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles) to cause any distributions to be eligible for a DRD. In addition, a DRD is available only if certain holding periods and other taxable income requirements are satisfied.

    The taxation of a distribution received with respect to a Warrant is unclear. It is possible such a distribution would be treated as a distribution as described in this section, although other treatments may also be possible. You should consult your tax advisors regarding the proper treatment of any payments in respect of the Warrants.

    Certain Adjustments to Warrants

    Under Section 305 of the Code, an adjustment to the number of shares of common stock that will be issued on the exercise of the Warrants, or an adjustment to the exercise price of the Warrants, may be treated as a constructive distribution to you of the Warrants if, and to the extent that, such adjustment has the effect of increasing your proportionate interest in our “earnings and profits” or assets, depending on the circumstances of such adjustment (for example, if such adjustment is to compensate for a distribution of cash or other property to our shareholders). Any such adjustment that is treated as a constructive distribution would be treated as a dividend, subject to withholding, to the extent described above under “Tax Consequences Applicable to U.S. Holders—Distributions.” You should consult your tax advisor regarding the proper tax treatment of any such adjustment.

    Gain on Disposition of Common Stock or Warrants

    Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of common stock or Warrants, you generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and your adjusted tax basis in the common stock or Warrant. Your adjusted tax basis will generally equal your acquisition cost, and will be determined as discussed above under “—Allocation of Purchase Price”, and if the common stock or Warrants were sold as part of units, the portion of amount realized allocable to each component will be determined as discussed under that section. Capital gain or loss will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if your holding period for the common stock or Warrants exceeds one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. U.S. holders who recognize losses with respect to a disposition of our common stock or Warrants should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax treatment of such losses.

     

    S-28


    Table of Contents

    Exercise of Warrants and Expiration of Warrants

    In general, you will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon exercise of a Warrant. You will take a tax basis in the common stock acquired on the exercise of a Warrant equal to the exercise price of the Warrant, increased by your adjusted tax basis (determined as discussed above under “—Allocation of Purchase Price”) in the Warrant exercised. It is unclear whether your holding period for the common stock acquired on the exercise of Warrants will begin on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the Warrants; in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which you held the Warrants.

    In certain limited circumstances, you may be permitted to undertake a cashless exercise of Warrants into our common stock. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise of Warrants into our common stock is unclear, and the tax consequences of a cashless exercise could differ from the consequences upon the exercise of a Warrant described in the preceding paragraph. You should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a cashless exercise of Warrants.

    The lapse or expiration of a Warrant will be treated as if you sold or exchanged the Warrant and recognized a capital loss equal to your tax basis in the Warrant. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

    Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

    Information reporting requirements generally will apply to payments of dividends (including constructive dividends) on the common stock or Warrants and to the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of common stock or Warrants paid to you unless you are an exempt recipient, such as certain corporations. Backup withholding at a current rate of 24% will apply to those payments if you fail to provide your taxpayer identification number (generally in the form of a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9), or certification of exempt status, or if you otherwise fail to comply with applicable requirements to establish an exemption.

    Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may generally be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

    We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business. We do not intend to pay cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions on our common stock, those payments generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those distributions exceed both our current and our accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will constitute a return of capital and will first reduce your basis in our common stock, but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from the sale of stock, treated as described below in “Tax Consequences Applicable to Non-U.S. Holders—Gain on Disposition of Common Stock or Warrants.”

    Subject to the discussions below on effectively connected income and the provisions of the Code referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, any dividend paid to you generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax either at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividend or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and your country of residence. In order to receive a reduced treaty rate, you must provide the applicable withholding agent with an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or other appropriate version of IRS Form W-8 certifying qualification for the reduced rate. A non-U.S.

    holder of shares of our common stock or Warrants eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. If the non-U.S. holder holds our common stock or Warrants through a financial institution or other agent acting on the non-U.S. holder’s behalf, the non-U.S. holder will be required to provide appropriate documentation to the agent, which then will be required to provide certification to the applicable withholding agent, either directly or through other intermediaries.

    Dividends received by you that are treated as effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, such dividends are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by you in the United States) are generally exempt from the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax, subject to the discussion below on backup withholding and FATCA. In order to obtain this exemption, you must provide the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI or other applicable IRS Form W-8 properly certifying such exemption. Such effectively connected dividends, although not subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, are taxed at the same rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions and credits, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. In addition, if you are a corporate non-U.S. holder, dividends you receive that are effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and your country of residence. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock or Warrants, including any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

    The taxation of a distribution received with respect to a Warrant is unclear. It is possible such a distribution would be treated as a distribution as described in this section, although other treatments may also be possible. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the proper treatment of any payments in respect of the Warrants.

    Certain Adjustments to Warrants

    Under Section 305 of the Code, an adjustment to the number of shares of common stock that will be issued on the exercise of the Warrants, or an adjustment to the exercise price of the Warrants, may be treated as a constructive distribution to you of the Warrants if, and to the extent that, such adjustment has the effect of increasing your proportionate interest in our “earnings and profits” or assets, depending on the circumstances of such adjustment (for example, if such adjustment is to compensate for a distribution of cash or other property to our shareholders). Any such adjustment that is treated as a constructive distribution would be treated as a dividend, subject to withholding, to the extent described above under “Tax Consequences Applicable to Non-U.S. Holders—Distributions.” You should consult your tax advisor regarding the proper tax treatment of any such adjustment.

    Gain on Disposition of Common Stock or Warrants

    Subject to the discussion below regarding backup withholding and FATCA, you generally will not be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of our common stock or Warrants unless:

     

      •  

    the gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if an applicable income tax treaty so provides, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by you in the United States);

     

      •  

    you are an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the calendar year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met; or

     

      •  

    our common stock constitutes a United States real property interest by reason of our status as a “United States real property holding corporation,” or USRPHC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any

     

    S-30


    Table of Contents
     

    time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding your disposition of, or your holding period for, our common stock.

    We believe that we are not currently and will not become a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the remainder of this discussion so assumes. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our U.S. real property interests relative to the fair market value of our U.S. and worldwide real property interests plus our other business assets, there can be no assurance that we will not become a USRPHC in the future. Even if we become a USRPHC, however, as long as our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, your common stock will be treated as a U.S. real property interest only if you actually (directly or indirectly) or constructively hold more than five percent of such regularly traded common stock at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding your disposition of, or your holding period for, our common stock. However, no assurance can be provided that our common stock will be considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market for purposes of the rules described above. Special rules may apply to non-U.S. holders of Warrants, who should consult their tax advisors.

    If you are a non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet above, you generally will be required to pay tax on the gain derived from the sale (net of certain deductions and credits) under regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to U.S. persons, and a corporate non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet above also may be subject to the branch profits tax at a 30% rate, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. If you are an individual non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet above, you will be subject to tax at 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the gain derived from the sale, which gain may be offset by U.S. source capital losses for the year, provided you have timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses. You should consult your tax advisor regarding any applicable income tax treaties or other agreements that may provide for different rules.

    Exercise of Warrants and Expiration of Warrants

    In general, you will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exercise of Warrants into shares of common stock. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise of Warrants into our common stock is unclear. A Non-U.S. Holder should consult his, her, or its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a cashless exercise of Warrants. The expiration of a Warrant will be treated as if you sold or exchanged the Warrant and recognized a capital loss equal to your tax basis in the warrant. However, you will not be able to utilize a loss recognized upon expiration of a Warrant against your U.S. federal income tax liability unless the loss is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if an income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) or is treated as a U.S.-source loss and you are present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met.

    Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

    Generally, we or the applicable paying agent must report annually to the IRS the amount of dividends paid to you, your name and address, and the amount of tax withheld, if any. A similar report will be sent to you. Pursuant to applicable income tax treaties or other agreements, the IRS may make these reports available to tax authorities in your country of residence.

    Payments of dividends (including constructive dividends) on or of proceeds from the disposition of our common stock or Warrants made to you will generally be subject to information reporting and backup withholding at a current rate of 24% unless you establish an exemption, for example, by properly certifying your non-U.S. status on a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or W-8ECI or another appropriate version of IRS Form W-8 or you otherwise meet the documentary evidence requirements for establishing that you are not a U.S. person or otherwise establish an exemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding and information reporting may apply if the applicable withholding agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that you are a U.S. person.

     

    S-31


    Table of Contents

    Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may generally be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

    Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

    Provisions of the Code commonly referred to as FATCA, Treasury regulations issued thereunder and official IRS guidance generally impose a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends on, and, subject to the discussion of certain proposed Treasury regulations below, the gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our common stock or Warrants paid to a “foreign financial institution” (as specially defined under these rules), unless such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to, among other things, withhold on certain payments and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding the U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners) or otherwise establishes an exemption from FATCA withholding. FATCA also generally imposes a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends on, and, subject to the discussion of certain proposed Treasury regulations below, the gross proceeds from, a sale or other disposition of our common stock or Warrants paid to a “non-financial foreign entity” (as specially defined under these rules), unless such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification identifying the substantial direct and indirect U.S. owners of the entity, certifies that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners, or otherwise establishes an exemption.

    The withholding obligations under FATCA generally apply to dividends on our common stock or Warrants and subject to the proposed Treasury regulations described in the next sentence, will apply to the payment of gross proceeds of a sale or other disposition of our common stock or Warrants. The Treasury Department has released proposed Treasury regulations (the preamble to which specifies that taxpayers are permitted to rely on them pending finalization) that, if finalized in their present form, would eliminate the federal withholding tax of 30% applicable to the gross proceeds of a disposition of our common stock or Warrants. The withholding tax on dividends will apply regardless of whether the payment otherwise would be exempt from U.S. non-resident and backup withholding tax, including under the exemptions described above. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify the requirements described in this section. Prospective investors are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the application of FATCA withholding to their investment in, and ownership and disposition of, our common stock or Warrants.

    The preceding discussion of U.S. federal tax considerations is for general information only. It is not tax advice to investors in their particular circumstances. Each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisor regarding the particular U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of purchasing, holding and disposing of our common stock or Warrants, including the consequences of any proposed change in applicable laws.

Each lock-up party has further acknowledged and agreed that the foregoing precludes such party from engaging in any hedging or other transaction designed or intended, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale or disposition of any shares of common stock, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock, even if any such sale or disposition transaction or transactions would be made or executed by or on behalf of someone other than such lock-up party.

    The restrictions described in the immediately preceding paragraph and contained in the lock-up agreements between the underwriters and the lock-up parties do not apply, subject in certain cases to various conditions, to certain transactions, including:

    (a) transactions relating to shares of common stock or other lock-up securities acquired in this public offering or in open market transactions after the completion of this public offering, provided that no public announcement or filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, or any other public filing or disclosure, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of common stock or other securities acquired in this public offering or in such open market transactions;

    (b) transfers of common stock or any lock-up security (1) as a bona fide gift or charitable contribution in a transaction exempt under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, (2) upon death, by will or intestate succession, including to the transferee’s nominee or custodian, or (3) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the lock-up party or any immediate family member;

    (c) transfers or distributions of shares of common stock or any other lock-up securities by a stockholder that is a trust to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust;

    (e) transfers of shares of common stock or other lock-up securities by operation of law pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement; provided that any filing required by Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that such transfer is being made pursuant to the circumstances described in this clause (e); provided further that no other public announcement or filing shall be voluntarily made;

    (i) transactions facilitating the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of common stock (a 10b5-1 Trading Plan), provided that (1) such plan does not provide for the transfer of common stock during the Restricted Period, (2) no public announcement, report, or filing under the Exchange Act, or any public filing, report or announcement, shall be voluntarily made regarding the establishment or amendment of such plan during the Restricted Period and (3) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment of such plan during the Restricted Period, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of common stock may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period;

    (j) the sale of shares of common stock pursuant to a 10b5-1 Trading Plan, provided that such plan was established prior to the execution of the lock-up agreement by the lock-up party, provided further that any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act that is made in connection with any such sales during the Restricted Period shall state that such sales have been executed under a 10b5-1 Trading Plan and shall also state the date such 10b5-1 Trading Plan was adopted;

    Certain of the exceptions described above are subject to a requirement that the donee, trustee, transferee or distributee enter into a lock-up agreement with the underwriters containing similar restrictions.

    Nasdaq Global Select Market Listing

    Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “TNYA.”

    Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

    Until the distribution of the shares is completed, SEC rules may limit underwriters and selling group members from bidding for and purchasing our common stock. However, the Representatives may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of the common stock, such as bids or purchases to peg, fix or maintain that price.

    In connection with this offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell our common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in this offering. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase shares of common stock so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum and are engaged in for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while the offering is in progress. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. If the underwriters sell more shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase and, therefore, have a naked short position, the position can be closed out only by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that after pricing there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of shares of common stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the closing of this offering.

    The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the Representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

    Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters’ purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

    Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the Representatives will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

    Electronic Distribution

    In connection with this offering, certain of the underwriters or securities dealers may distribute prospectuses by electronic means, such as e-mail.

    Other Relationships

    The underwriters, and certain of their affiliates, are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. Some of the underwriters, and certain of their affiliates, may in the future engage in investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us and our affiliates, for which they may in the future receive customary fees, commissions and expenses.

     

    S-37


    Table of Contents

    In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

    Leerink Partners LLC is the sales agent for us under our ATM Program. Under our ATM Program, we may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of our common stock through Leerink Partners LLC through an “at-the-market offering,” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act.

    Company Overview

    We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing and delivering potentially curative therapies that address the underlying drivers of heart disease. Our vision is to change the treatment paradigm for heart disease, and in doing so improve and extend the lives of millions of patients.

    We are advancing a deep and diverse pipeline of disease-modifying targeted therapies that includes both gene therapies and small molecules discovered internally and developed using our extensive core capabilities to address rare or highly prevalent forms of heart disease. All of our programs are currently being assessed in clinical trials or are in the preclinical stage; we do not have any products approved for sale and have not generated any revenue to date.

    We are primarily focused on advancing our lead investigational product candidates, TN-201, a gene therapy for MYBPC3-associated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and TN-401, a gene therapy for PKP2-associated arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Each candidate is currently in clinical testing to establish the safety profile of two different doses in adults with disease due to pathogenic/likely pathogenic mutations. We anticipate that data generated in the next year will inform late-stage development by characterizing each product candidates’ safety and tolerability profile, ability to transduce target heart cells, and produce the lacking protein underlying disease to slow – or even halt – disease progression.

    TN-201 is our potential first-in-class and best-in-class gene therapy for adults and children with HCM due to MYBPC3 gene mutations. These mutations result in a deficiency of myosin binding protein (MyBP-C), which in turn can cause the heart walls of affected individuals to become significantly thickened, leading to fibrosis, abnormal heart rhythms, cardiac dysfunction, heart failure and death. HCM is a chronic, progressive condition and those diagnosed with the disease often experience significant impairment in overall quality of life and may be at higher risk for serious complications and co-morbidities. TN-201 utilizes a recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) capsid and is designed to deliver a working MYBPC3 gene to specific cells of the heart in order to produce cardiac myosin binding protein and thereby potentially slow or even reverse the course of MYBPC3-associated HCM following a single infusion.

    MyPEAK™-1 is our Phase 1b/2 multi-center, open-label clinical trial, designed to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a one-time intravenous infusion of TN-201. We have completed Cohort 1 dosing at the 3×1013 vg/kg dose in the MyPEAK-1 trial with no unexpected events or toxicities associated with TN-201 observed. Following review of safety data from the first three MyPEAK-1 patients by an independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), the DSMB recommended that we proceed with the planned escalation to the 6×1013 vg/kg dose, per protocol. MyPEAK-1 is now actively enrolling patients in this higher dose cohort at several U.S. clinical sites, and we anticipate completing enrollment of Cohort 2 in the first half of 2025.

    In December 2024, we announced initial safety and biopsy data from Cohort 1 of MyPEAK-1. TN-201 administered at the starting dose of 3×1013 vg/kg was generally well-tolerated among the first three patients

    enrolled in the clinical trial. Among the first two patients for whom Week 8 biopsy results were available, TN-201 achieved readily detectable vector DNA in the heart and evidence of transgene RNA expression. Serial biopsies at Week 8 and Week 52 for Patient 1 demonstrated increasing TN-201 mRNA and MyBP-C protein levels over time. Circulating biomarkers of cardiac muscle strain and injury remained largely stable, and certain clinical markers of disease showed stability or directional improvement in the first two individuals dosed, while other measures were not yet available, interpretable or were mixed. We plan to present additional follow-up data from Cohort 1 during the first half of 2025 and initial Cohort 2 data, along with an update on Cohort 1 patients, in the second half of 2025.

    To support our development efforts for TN-201 we are conducting two noninterventional studies: a study evaluating seroprevalence to AAV9 antibodies among adults with MYBPC3-associated HCM, and MyClimb, a prospective and retrospective global natural history study focused on pediatric patients with MYBPC3 mutation-associated cardiomyopathy. The seroprevalence study has completed enrollment. Initial data indicated that antibodies to AAV9 in the majority of participants were below the eligibility threshold that would allow for participation in MyPEAK-1. The MyClimb natural history study is following patient medical history to characterize the outcomes, burden of illness, risk factors, quality of life, and biomarkers associated with disease progression in pediatric patients. MyClimb complements existing disease registries focused primarily on adult patient HCM populations and may support and expedite the development of TN-201 in the pediatric patient population. We plan to present data from MyClimb in the second half of 2025. In July 2024, we received rare pediatric disease designation from the FDA for TN-201 in MYBPC3-associated HCM. TN-201 has also been granted orphan drug designation from the FDA, orphan medicinal product designation from the European Commission (EC) and Fast Track Designation from the FDA.

    TN-401 is our AAV9-based gene therapy for the treatment of ARVC due to disease-causing variants in the PKP2 gene. ARVC, also known as arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, or ACM, is a chronic, progressive disease characterized by frequent, severe, and potentially life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. The disease is associated with adverse heart remodeling, fibrosis, cardiac dysfunction, significant impairment to patients’ overall quality of life, as well as an elevated risk of sudden cardiac death. PKP2 mutations are the most common genetic cause of ARVC and result in insufficient expression of a protein needed for proper functioning of the desmosomal complex that maintains physical connections and electrical signaling between heart muscle cells. TN-401 utilizes a recombinant AAV9 capsid and is designed to deliver a working PKP2 gene to specific cells of the heart in order to produce plakophilin protein and thereby potentially slow or even reverse the course of PKP2-associated ARVC following a single infusion.

    In November 2024, we dosed the first patient in RIDGE™-1, our Phase 1b multi-center, open-label clinical trial, designed to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a one-time intravenous infusion of TN-401. We have activated multiple clinical trial sites at leading cardiology centers in the U.S. with ARVC expertise and intend to expand enrollment of RIDGE-1 to the United Kingdom. We expect to complete enrollment of the first cohort of patients at the 3×1013vg/kg in the first half of 2025. An independent DSMB will review all available safety data for the first three patients dosed and then inform plans for dose escalation to 6×1013vg/kg, as needed, and/or enrollment of additional patients in the first cohort. Initial clinical data from the first cohort of patients to receive TN-401 is expected in the second half of 2025. In January 2025, we were awarded a Clinical Grant (Clin2) of $8.0 million from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), a state of California Agency that funds regenerative medicine, stem cell, and gene therapy research. Proceeds from the grant will help fund clinical trial costs for our ongoing Phase 1b RIDGE-1 clinical trial of TN-401 gene therapy.

    In support of our development efforts for TN-401, we initiated RIDGE, a global noninterventional study to collect natural history and seroprevalence to AAV9 antibodies data among ARVC patients who carry pathogenic or likely pathogenic PKP2 gene mutations. Initial data from RIDGE indicated that antibodies to AAV9 in a majority of participants were below the eligibility threshold that would allow for participation in RIDGE-1. We

    plan to present additional data from RIDGE in the first half of 2025. TN-401 has received orphan drug designation from the FDA and orphan medicinal product designation from the EC, as well as Fast Track Designation from the FDA.

    We previously completed a Phase 1 clinical trial of TN-301, a highly selective small molecule inhibitor of histone deacetylase-6 (HDAC6). HDAC6 is a cytoplasmic enzyme known to regulate diverse cellular processes. TN-301’s multi-modal mechanism addresses diverse pathological processes and has shown direct and systemic benefits in in vitro and in vivo studies of HFpEF. HFpEF is characterized by a stiffening of the heart muscle resulting in an inability for the left ventricle to relax and fill with oxygenated blood sufficient to meet the body’s needs. The pathophysiology of HFpEF is complex and is driven by metabolic dysfunction or oxidative stress and inflammation, with diverse conditions serving as risk factors for disease, including obesity, diabetes, aging, kidney disease and hypertension. Although HFpEF accounts for approximately half of all heart failures, there are few proven treatment options.

    We shared positive data from our Phase 1 clinical trial of TN-301 in healthy participants at the 2023 Heart Failure Society of America Annual Scientific Meeting. TN-301 was generally well tolerated across the broad range of doses studied. Pharmacokinetic results showed overall dose proportionality with a half-life supportive of once-daily dosing. Increasing doses and exposures with TN-301 correlated with increased pharmacodynamic effects. There were no changes in histone acetylation with TN-301 underscoring the selectivity of TN-301 for HDAC6 and potentially reducing the risk of off target effects. In comparative preclinical studies, selective HDAC6 inhibition as a single agent has been shown to have similar efficacy to empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor which is approved for the treatment of HFpEF and co-administration of our HDAC6 inhibition with a SGLT2 inhibitor in a HFpEF mouse model demonstrated additive benefit. Taken together, these data support continued development of TN-301 as a potential treatment for patients with HFpEF and other severe diseases – including those outside of cardiology – in which inflammation, fibrosis and metabolic dysregulation may be implicated. We believe late-stage clinical development of TN-301 is best suited for development by or with a well-resourced partner.

    In addition to our lead product candidates, we have multiple early-stage programs using various therapeutic approaches, including gene addition, gene editing, gene silencing, and cellular regeneration to address other forms of rare and/or prevalent heart disease.

    Early on in our company history, we invested in differentiated capabilities to enable modality agnostic target identification and validation, anchored in human genetics and the use of human disease models. That proprietary expertise has directly informed the design, optimization and production of our pipeline. To support our initial focus on gene therapy candidates, we internalized expertise in capsid engineering, novel promoter constructs and manufacturing anchored on the use of AAVs as the method of delivery to the heart with the aim of increasing the safety and efficacy of our product candidates and accelerating early-stage discovery and preclinical optimization across modalities.

    For the production of our lead gene therapy candidates, TN-201 and TN-401, we maintained complete ownership of process development, analytical development, and quality control and have already produced all necessary clinical trial material needed for our ongoing MyPEAK-1 and RIDGE-1 clinical trials at our Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP)-certified Genetic Medicines Manufacturing Center in Union City, California.

    Table of Contents

    We may offer debt securities that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the indenture. We will provide you with information on the federal income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

    If we denominate the purchase price of any of the debt securities in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units, or if the principal of and any premium and interest on any series of debt securities is payable in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units, we will provide you with information on the restrictions, elections, general tax considerations, specific terms and other information with respect to that issue of debt securities and such foreign currency or currencies or foreign currency unit or units in the applicable prospectus supplement.

    Transfer and Exchange

    Each debt security will be represented by either one or more global securities registered in the name of a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, which we refer to as the depositary, or a nominee of the depositary (we will refer to any debt security represented by a global debt security as a “book-entry debt security”), or a certificate issued in definitive registered form (we will refer to any debt security represented by a certificated security as a “certificated debt security”) as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Except as set forth under the heading titled “—Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System,” below, book-entry debt securities will not be issuable in certificated form.

    Certificated Debt Securities

    You may transfer or exchange certificated debt securities at any office we maintain for this purpose in accordance with the terms of the indenture. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of certificated debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with a transfer or exchange.

    You may effect the transfer of certificated debt securities and the right to receive the principal of, premium and interest on certificated debt securities only by surrendering the certificate representing those certificated debt securities and either reissuance by us or the trustee of the certificate to the new holder or the issuance by us or the trustee of a new certificate to the new holder.

    Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System

    Each global debt security representing book-entry debt securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the depositary, and registered in the name of the depositary or a nominee of the depositary.

    Covenants

    We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement any restrictive covenants applicable to any issue or series of debt securities.

    No Protection in the Event of a Change of Control

    Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions which may provide holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change in control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change in control) which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.

    Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

    We may not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to any person, which we refer to as a successor person, unless:

     

      •  

    we are the surviving corporation or the successor person (if other than us) is a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction and expressly assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture; and

     

      •  

    immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default (as defined below), shall have occurred and be continuing.

    Notwithstanding the above, any of our subsidiaries may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties to us.

    Events of Default

    “Event of Default” means with respect to any series of debt securities, any of the following:

     

      •  

    default in the payment of any interest upon any debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of the payment is deposited by us with the trustee or with a paying agent prior to the expiration of the 30-day period);

     

      •  

    default in the payment of principal of any security of that series at its maturity;

     

      •  

    default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty by us in the indenture (other than a covenant or warranty that has been included in the indenture solely for the benefit of a series of debt securities other than that series), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after we receive written notice from the trustee, or we and the trustee receive written notice from the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series as provided in the indenture;

     

      •  

    certain voluntary or involuntary events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of us; and

     

      •  

    any other Event of Default provided with respect to debt securities of that series that is described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

    No Event of Default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an Event of Default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The occurrence of certain Events of Default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain indebtedness of ours or our subsidiaries outstanding from time to time.

    We will provide the trustee written notice of any Default or Event of Default within 30 days of becoming aware of the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, which notice will describe in reasonable detail the status of such Default or Event of Default and what action we are taking or propose to take in respect thereof.

    If an Event of Default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing (except an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization as described below), then the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal of (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. In the case of an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal (or such specified amount) of and accrued and

     

    13


    Table of Contents

    unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding debt securities will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of outstanding debt securities. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind and annul the acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

    The indenture provides that the trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture unless the trustee receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any cost, liability or expense which might be incurred by it in performing such duty or exercising such right or power. Subject to certain rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to the debt securities of that series.

    No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:

     

      •  

    that holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to debt securities of that series; and

     

      •  

    the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and offered indemnity or security satisfactory to the trustee, to the trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and the trustee has not received from the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with that request and has failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days.

    Notwithstanding any other provision in the indenture, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of, premium and any interest on that debt security on or after the due dates expressed in that debt security and to institute suit for the enforcement of payment.

    The indenture requires us, within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee a statement as to compliance with the indenture. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the securities of any series and if it is known to a responsible officer of the trustee, the trustee shall send to each securityholder of the securities of that series notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a responsible officer of the trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any series of any Default or Event of Default (except in payment on any debt securities of that series) with respect to debt securities of that series if the trustee determines in good faith that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of those debt securities.

    Modification and Waiver

    We and the trustee may modify, amend or supplement the indenture or the debt securities of any series without the consent of any holder of any debt security:

     

      •  

    to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

     

      •  

    to comply with covenants in the indenture described above under the heading “—Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets”;

     

    14


    Table of Contents
      •  

    to provide for uncertificated securities in addition to or in place of certificated securities;

     

      •  

    to add guarantees with respect to debt securities of any series or secure debt securities of any series;

     

      •  

    to surrender any of our rights or powers under the indenture;

     

      •  

    to add covenants or events of default for the benefit of the holders of debt securities of any series;

     

      •  

    to comply with the applicable procedures of the applicable depositary;

     

      •  

    to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of debt securities;

     

      •  

    to provide for the issuance of, and establish the form and terms and conditions of debt securities of, any series as permitted by the indenture;

     

      •  

    to effect the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the debt securities of any series and to add to or change any of the provisions of the indenture to provide for or facilitate administration by more than one trustee; or

     

      •  

    to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

    We may also modify and amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the modifications or amendments. We may not make any modification or amendment without the consent of the holders of each affected debt security then outstanding if that amendment will:

     

      •  

    reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

     

      •  

    reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any debt security;

     

      •  

    reduce the principal of, or premium on, or change the fixed maturity of any debt security, or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation with respect to any series of debt securities;

     

      •  

    reduce the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;

     

      •  

    waive a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any debt security (except a rescission of acceleration of the debt securities of any series by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

     

      •  

    make the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security;

     

      •  

    make any change to certain provisions of the indenture relating to, among other things, the right of holders of debt securities to receive payment of the principal of, premium and interest on those debt securities and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and to waivers or amendments; or

     

      •  

    waive a redemption payment with respect to any debt security.

    Except for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.

    Defeasance of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances

    Legal Defeasance

    The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, we may be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series (subject to certain exceptions). We will be so discharged upon the irrevocable deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money or U.S. government obligations in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities.

    This discharge may occur only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred.

    Defeasance of Certain Covenants

    The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, upon compliance with certain conditions:

     

      •  

    we may omit to comply with the covenant described under the heading “—Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” and certain other covenants set forth in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants which may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement; and

     

      •  

    any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of that series.

    We refer to this as covenant defeasance. The conditions include:

     

      •  

    depositing with the trustee money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities;

     

      •  

    such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the indenture or any other agreement to which we are a party;

     

      •  

    no Default or Event of Default with respect to the applicable series of debt securities shall have occurred or is continuing on the date of such deposit; and

     

      •  

    delivering to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution

     

    16


    Table of Contents
     

    of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and related covenant defeasance had not occurred.

    No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees or Stockholders

    None of our past, present or future directors, officers, employees or stockholders, as such, will have any liability for any of our obligations under the debt securities or the indenture or for any claim based on, or in respect or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. By accepting a debt security, each holder waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release is part of the consideration for the issue of the debt securities. However, this waiver and release may not be effective to waive liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws, and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

    Governing Law

    The indenture and the debt securities, including any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the indenture or the securities, will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

    The indenture will provide that we, the trustee and the holders of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the indenture, the debt securities or the transactions contemplated thereby.

    The indenture will provide that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon the indenture or the transactions contemplated thereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City of New York, and we, the trustee and the holder of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The indenture will further provide that service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail (to the extent allowed under any applicable statute or rule of court) to such party’s address set forth in the indenture will be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The indenture will further provide that we, the trustee and the holders of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the courts specified above and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim any such suit, action or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

    DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES

    General

    We may offer depositary shares representing a fractional interest in a share of a particular series of preferred stock. Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, each owner of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable fractional interest in a share of preferred stock represented by the depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the preferred stock represented by the depositary share. Those rights include dividend, voting, redemption, conversion and liquidation rights.

    The shares of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares will be deposited with a bank or trust company selected by us to act as depositary under a deposit agreement between us, the depositary and the holders of the depositary receipts. The depositary will be the transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing agent for the depositary shares.

    The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the deposit agreement. Holders of depositary receipts agree to be bound by the deposit agreement, which requires holders to take certain actions such as filing proof of residence and paying certain charges.

    The summary of terms of the depositary shares contained in this prospectus is not complete. You should refer to the form of the deposit agreement, our certificate of incorporation and the certificate of designation for the applicable series of preferred stock that are, or will be, filed with the SEC.

    Dividends and Other Distributions

    The depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions, if any, received in respect of the preferred stock underlying the depositary shares to the record holders of depositary shares in proportion to the numbers of depositary shares owned by those holders on the relevant record date. The relevant record date for depositary shares will be the same date as the record date for the underlying preferred stock.

    If there is a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property (including securities) received by it to the record holders of depositary shares, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make the distribution. If this occurs, the depositary may, with our approval, adopt another method for the distribution, including selling the property and distributing the net proceeds from the sale to the holders.

    Liquidation Preference

    If a series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares has a liquidation preference, in the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us, holders of depositary shares will be entitled to receive the fraction of the liquidation preference accorded each share of the applicable series of preferred stock, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

    Withdrawal of Stock

    Unless the related depositary shares have been previously called for redemption, upon surrender of the depositary receipts at the office of the depositary, the holder of the depositary shares will be entitled to delivery, at the office of the depositary to or upon his or her order, of the number of whole shares of the preferred stock and any money or other property represented by the depositary shares. If the depositary receipts delivered by the holder evidence a number of depositary shares in excess of the number of depositary shares representing the number of whole shares of preferred stock to be withdrawn, the depositary will deliver to the holder at the same time a new depositary receipt evidencing the excess number of depositary shares. In no event will the depositary deliver fractional shares of preferred stock upon surrender of depositary receipts. Holders of preferred stock thus withdrawn may not thereafter deposit those shares under the deposit agreement or receive depositary receipts evidencing depositary shares therefor.

     

    18


    Table of Contents

    Redemption of Depositary Shares

    Whenever we redeem shares of preferred stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date the number of depositary shares representing shares of the preferred stock so redeemed, so long as we have paid in full to the depositary the redemption price of the preferred stock to be redeemed plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid dividends on the preferred stock to the date fixed for redemption. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the redemption price and any other amounts per share payable on the preferred stock multiplied by the fraction of a share of preferred stock represented by one depositary share. If less than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or pro rata or by any other equitable method as may be determined by the depositary.

    After the date fixed for redemption, depositary shares called for redemption will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of depositary shares will cease, except the right to receive the monies payable upon redemption and any money or other property to which the holders of the depositary shares were entitled upon redemption upon surrender to the depositary of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares.

    Voting the Preferred Stock

    Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the preferred stock are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the information contained in the notice of meeting to the record holders of the depositary receipts relating to that preferred stock. The record date for the depositary receipts relating to the preferred stock will be the same date as the record date for the preferred stock. Each record holder of the depositary shares on the record date will be entitled to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the number of shares of preferred stock represented by that holder’s depositary shares. The depositary will endeavor, insofar as practicable, to vote the number of shares of preferred stock represented by the depositary shares in accordance with those instructions, and we will agree to take all action that may be deemed necessary by the depositary in order to enable the depositary to do so. The depositary will not vote any shares of preferred stock except to the extent that it receives specific instructions from the holders of depositary shares representing that number of shares of preferred stock.

    Charges of the Depositary

    We will pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. We will pay charges of the depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the preferred stock and any redemption of the preferred stock. Holders of depositary receipts will pay transfer, income and other taxes and governmental charges and such other charges (including those in connection with the receipt and distribution of dividends, the sale or exercise of rights, the withdrawal of the preferred stock and the transferring, splitting or grouping of depositary receipts) as are expressly provided in the deposit agreement to be for their accounts. If these charges have not been paid by the holders of depositary receipts, the depositary may refuse to transfer depositary shares, withhold dividends and distributions and sell the depositary shares evidenced by the depositary receipt.

    Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement

    The form of depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares and any provision of the deposit agreement may be amended by agreement between us and the depositary. However, any amendment that materially and adversely alters the rights of the holders of depositary shares, other than fee changes, will not be effective unless the amendment has been approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding depositary shares. The deposit agreement may be terminated by the depositary or us only if:

     

      •  

    all outstanding depositary shares have been redeemed; or

     

    19


    Table of Contents
      •  

    there has been a final distribution of the preferred stock in connection with our dissolution and such distribution has been made to all the holders of depositary shares.

    Resignation and Removal of Depositary

    The depositary may resign at any time by delivering to us notice of its election to do so, and we may remove the depositary at any time. Any resignation or removal of the depositary will take effect upon our appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment. The successor depositary must be appointed within 60 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal and must be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having the requisite combined capital and surplus as set forth in the applicable agreement.

    Notices

    The depositary will forward to holders of depositary receipts all notices, reports and other communications, including proxy solicitation materials received from us, that are delivered to the depositary and that we are required to furnish to the holders of the preferred stock. In addition, the depositary will make available for inspection by holders of depositary receipts at the principal office of the depositary, and at such other places as it may from time to time deem advisable, any reports and communications we deliver to the depositary as the holder of preferred stock.

    Limitation of Liability

    Neither we nor the depositary will be liable if either is prevented or delayed by law or any circumstance beyond its control in performing its obligations. Our obligations and those of the depositary will be limited to performance in good faith of our and its duties thereunder. We and the depositary will not be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding in respect of any depositary shares or preferred stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. We and the depositary may rely upon written advice of counsel or accountants, on information provided by persons presenting preferred stock for deposit, holders of depositary receipts or other persons believed to be competent to give such information and on documents believed to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

These descriptions do not restate those subscription right agreements in their entirety and may not contain all the information that you may find useful.

    DESCRIPTION OF PURCHASE CONTRACTS

    The following description summarizes the general features of the purchase contracts that we may offer under this prospectus. Although the features we have summarized below will generally apply to any future purchase contracts we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any purchase contracts that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The specific terms of any purchase contracts may differ from the description provided below as a result of negotiations with third parties in connection with the issuance of those purchase contracts, as well as for other reasons. Because the terms of any purchase contracts we offer under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below, you should rely solely on information in the applicable prospectus supplement if that summary is different from the summary in this prospectus.

    We will incorporate by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part the form of any purchase contract that we may offer under this prospectus before the sale of the related purchase contract. We urge you to read any applicable prospectus supplement related to specific purchase contracts being offered, as well as the complete instruments that contain the terms of the securities that are subject to those purchase contracts. Certain of those instruments, or forms of those instruments, have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and supplements to those instruments or forms may be incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part from reports we file with the SEC.

    We may offer purchase contracts, including contracts obligating holders to purchase from us, and for us to sell to holders, a specific or variable number of our securities at a future date or dates. Alternatively, the purchase contracts may obligate us to purchase from holders, and obligate holders to sell to us, a specific or varying number of our securities.

    If we offer any purchase contracts, certain terms of that series of purchase contracts will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, the following:

     

      •  

    the price of the securities or other property subject to the purchase contracts (which may be determined by reference to a specific formula described in the purchase contracts);

     

      •  

    whether the purchase contracts are issued separately, or as a part of units each consisting of a purchase contract and one or more of our other securities, including U.S. Treasury securities, securing the holder’s obligations under the purchase contract;

     

      •  

    any requirement for us to make periodic payments to holders or vice versa, and whether the payments are unsecured or pre-funded;

     

      •  

    any provisions relating to any security provided for the purchase contracts;

     

      •  

    whether the purchase contracts obligate the holder or us to purchase or sell, or both purchase and sell, the securities subject to purchase under the purchase contract, and the nature and amount of each of those securities, or the method of determining those amounts;

     

      •  

    whether the purchase contracts are to be prepaid or not;

     

      •  

    whether the purchase contracts are to be settled by delivery, or by reference or linkage to the value, performance or level of the securities subject to purchase under the purchase contract;

    DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

    We may offer units comprising two or more securities described in this prospectus in any combination. For example, we might issue units consisting of a combination of debt securities and warrants to purchase common stock. The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the units that we may offer pursuant to this prospectus. The particular terms of the units and the extent, if any, to which the general terms and provisions may apply to the units so offered will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

    Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit also is the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. Units will be issued pursuant to the terms of a unit agreement, which may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately at any time or at any time before a specified date. A copy of the forms of the unit agreement and the unit certificate relating to any particular issue of units will be filed with the SEC each time we issue units, and you should read those documents for provisions that may be important to you. For more information on how you can obtain copies of the forms of the unit agreement and the related unit certificate, see the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

    The prospectus supplement relating to any particular issuance of units will describe the terms of those units, including, to the extent applicable, the following:

     

      •  

    the designation and terms of the units and the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

     

      •  

    any provision for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units; and

     

      •  

    whether the units will be issued in fully registered or global form.

    PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

    We may sell securities:

     

      •  

    through underwriters;

     

      •  

    through dealers;

     

      •  

    through agents;

     

      •  

    directly to purchasers; or

     

      •  

    through a combination of any of these methods of sale.

    In addition, we may issue the securities as a dividend or distribution or in a subscription rights offering to our existing securityholders.

    We may directly solicit offers to purchase securities or agents may be designated to solicit such offers. We will, in the prospectus supplement relating to such offering, name any agent that could be viewed as an underwriter under the Securities Act and describe any commissions that we must pay. Any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment or, if indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, on a firm commitment basis. This prospectus may be used in connection with any offering of our securities through any of these methods or other methods described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

    The distribution of the securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions:

     

      •  

    at a fixed price or prices that may be changed from time to time;

     

      •  

    at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

     

      •  

    at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

     

      •  

    at negotiated prices.

    Each prospectus supplement will describe the method of distribution of the securities and any applicable restrictions.

    The prospectus supplement with respect to the securities of a particular series will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including the following:

     

      •  

    the name of the agent or any underwriters;

     

      •  

    the public offering or purchase price;

     

      •  

    any discounts and commissions to be allowed or paid to the agent or underwriters;

     

      •  

    all other items constituting underwriting compensation;

     

      •  

    any discounts and commissions to be allowed or paid to dealers; and

     

      •  

    any exchanges on which the securities will be listed.

    If any underwriters or agents are utilized in the sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we will enter into an underwriting agreement or other agreement with them at the time of sale to them, and we will set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to such offering the names of the underwriters or agents and the terms of the related agreement with them.

    If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities in respect of which the prospectus is delivered, we will sell such securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealer at the time of resale.

     

    25


    Table of Contents

    If we offer securities in a subscription rights offering to our existing securityholders, we may enter into a standby underwriting agreement with dealers, acting as standby underwriters. We may pay the standby underwriters a commitment fee for the securities they commit to purchase on a standby basis. If we do not enter into a standby underwriting arrangement, we may retain a dealer-manager to manage a subscription rights offering for us.

    Agents, underwriters, dealers and other persons may be entitled under agreements that they may enter into with us to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

    If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase securities from us pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date stated in the prospectus supplement. Each contract will be for an amount not less than, and the aggregate amount of securities sold pursuant to such contracts shall not be less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in the prospectus supplement. Institutions with whom the contracts, when authorized, may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and other institutions, but shall in all cases be subject to our approval. Delayed delivery contracts will not be subject to any conditions except that:

     

      •  

    the purchase by an institution of the securities covered under that contract shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which that institution is subject; and

     

      •  

    if the securities are also being sold to underwriters acting as principals for their own account, the underwriters shall have purchased such securities not sold for delayed delivery.

    The underwriters and other persons acting as agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of delayed delivery contracts.

    Certain agents, underwriters and dealers, and their associates and affiliates may be customers of, have borrowing relationships with, engage in other transactions with, and/or perform services, including investment banking services, for us or one or more of our respective affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

    In order to facilitate the offering of the securities, any underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities or any other securities the prices of which may be used to determine payments on such securities. Specifically, any underwriters may over-allot in connection with the offering, creating a short position for their own accounts. In addition, to cover over-allotments or to stabilize the price of the securities or of any such other securities, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, the securities or any such other securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of the securities through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above independent market levels. Any such underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.

    Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. The applicable prospectus supplement may provide that the original issue date for your securities may be more than one scheduled business day after the trade date for your securities. Accordingly, in such a case, if you wish to trade securities on any date prior to the second business day before the original issue date for your securities, you will be required, by virtue of the fact that your securities initially are expected to settle in more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities, to make alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

    The securities may be new issues of securities and may have no established trading market. The securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. We can make no assurance as to the liquidity of or the existence of trading markets for any of the securities.
