Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On August 19, 2024, Kymera Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the underwriters listed in Schedule II thereto (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of (a) 2,002,313 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), at a price to the public of $40.75 per share, and (b) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,519,159 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), at a price to the public of $40.7499 per warrant, which represents the per share public offering price for the Shares less the $0.0001 per share exercise price for each such Pre-Funded Warrant (the “Offering”). Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option, for a period of 30 days after the date of the Prospectus Supplement (as defined below), to purchase up to an additional 828,220 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares”) at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions, which the Underwriters exercised in full on August 20, 2024.
The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, will be approximately $246.5 million. The Company also may receive nominal proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to continue to advance its pipeline of preclinical and clinical degrader programs that are designed to address large patient populations with significant need and clear commercial opportunity, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Company expects the Offering to close on August 21, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, or alternatively, at the election of each holder, shares of Common Stock may be issued through a cashless exercise, with the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in each Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after the date of issuance. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised. A holder (together with its “attribution parties,” as defined in the Pre-Funded Warrant) may not exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants if immediately after exercise, the holder (together with its attribution parties), would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise (the “Ownership Limit”). Purchasers of the Pre-Funded Warrants will elect to set the initial Ownership Limit at either 4.99% or 9.99% prior to the closing of the Offering. Upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to the Company, the holder may decrease or increase the Ownership Limit up to 19.99%.
In addition, if the exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant would result in a holder of Pre-Funded Warrants (together with its attribution parties) acquiring beneficial ownership equal to or in excess of the notification threshold applicable to such holder (the “HSR Threshold”) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), as of the date of delivery of the applicable exercise notice, and no exemption to filing a notice and report form under the HSR Act is applicable, then only such portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants held by such holder, which when exercised does not exceed the HSR Threshold, shall be exercisable and the applicable exercise notice shall be deemed to relate only to such portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants, and the remaining portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants in excess of the HSR Threshold shall not be exercisable until the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or receipt of applicable approval. The Company does not intend to list the Pre-Funded Warrants on The Nasdaq Global Market or any other national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.
The Company made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants concerning the Company, the registration statement and the Prospectus Supplement in the Underwriting Agreement and also agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Offering is being made pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated August 19, 2024 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 20, 2024 and an accompanying base prospectus that forms a part of the registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-259955), filed with the SEC on October 1, 2021, which was effective upon filing with the SEC. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Shares, the Option Shares or the Pre-Funded Warrants.
The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement and the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants do not purport to be complete descriptions of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement and the form of Pre-Funded Warrant that are filed as Exhibits 1.1 and 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the opinion of Goodwin Procter LLP, relating to the validity of the Shares, the Option Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants in connection with the Offering, is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
On August 19, 2024, the Company issued press releases announcing the launch and pricing of the Offering, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively.
Based on our current plans, we believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, together with the net proceeds from this offering, will be sufficient to fund our operations into mid 2027. The Company has based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and could use its available capital resources sooner than its expects.
