DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) filed by Kinnate Biopharma Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), relates to Registration Statement No. 333-261970 (the “Registration Statement”), registering the sale of up to $150,000,000 of (i) shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Registrant (the “Common Stock”), (ii) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Registrant (the “Preferred Stock”), (iii) depositary shares representing a fractional interest of a preferred share of Preferred Stock (“Depositary Shares”), (iv) secured or unsecured, senior or subordinated debt securities (“Debt Securities”), (v) warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or Debt Securities (“Warrants”), (vi) subscription rights to purchase Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Debt Securities, Warrants or Units (as defined below) (“Rights”), (vii) purchase contracts obligating holders to purchase a specific or variable number of securities (“Contracts”), and (viii) units consisting of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or Warrants, Rights, Contracts or any combination thereof (“Units”), or any combination thereof, in each case offered by the Registrant under a sales agreement with Leerink Partner LLC (f/k/a SVB Leerink LLC), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 3, 2022.

On February 16, 2024, the Registrant entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with XOMA Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and XRA 1 Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on April 3, 2024, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Registrant with the Registrant surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). In the Merger, each share of Common Stock (the “Shares”) (other than (i) Shares owned or held in the Registrant’s treasury immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, (ii) Shares owned directly or indirectly by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger and (iii) Shares held by any stockholder of the Registrant who was entitled to and properly demanded appraisal of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended) was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive (i) $2.5879 in cash per Share, plus (ii) one non-transferrable contractual contingent value right for each Share.

The foregoing description of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 16, 2024.

As a result of the Merger, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all such securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date hereof and terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
