The source of funds for Atlas XI’s purchases of shares of Legacy Korro common and preferred stock was the contribution from Atlas XI’s general and limited partners.
On July 14, 2023, in connection with the Merger Agreement (as defined below), AVOF II and other unrelated investors entered into a securities purchase agreement with Legacy Korro (the "Subscription Agreement"), pursuant to which AVOF II purchased 3,566,595 shares of common stock of Legacy Korro at a purchase price of approximately $2.78 per share (the “Pre-Closing Financing”). The Pre-Closing Financing closed immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. The source of funds for AVOF II’s purchases of shares of Legacy Korro common stock was the contribution from AVOF II’s general and limited partners.

In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Issuer changed its name to Korro Bio, Inc.
CUSIP 500946108 | Page 9 of 11 |
Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, each share of Legacy Korro’s preferred stock was converted into one share of Legacy Korro’s common stock. At the effective time of the Merger, each of these shares was converted into the right to receive 0.049688 of a share of the Issuer's common stock, after giving effect to a reverse stock split of the Issuer's common stock of 1-for-50.
Following the closing of the Merger, Atlas XI and AVOF II owned 942,075 and 177,217 shares of Common Stock, respectively.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
The Reporting Persons purchased the aforementioned securities for investment purposes with the aim of increasing the value of their investments and the Issuer. Subject to applicable legal requirements, one or more of the Reporting Persons may purchase additional securities of the Issuer from time to time in open market or private transactions, depending on its evaluation of the Issuer’s business, prospects and financial condition, the market for the Issuer’s securities, other developments concerning the Issuer, the reaction of the Issuer to the Reporting Persons’ ownership of the Issuer’s securities, other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and general economic, money market and stock market conditions. In addition, depending upon the factors referred to above, the Reporting Persons may dispose of all or a portion of their securities of the Issuer at any time. Each of the Reporting Persons reserve the right to increase or decrease its holdings on such terms and at such times as each may decide.
Except as set forth in this Item 4 and Item 6 below, none of the Reporting Persons have a present plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”). However, each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right to propose or participate in future transactions which may result in one or more of such actions, including but not limited to, an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, sale of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or its subsidiaries, or other transactions which might have the effect of causing the Common Stock to become eligible for termination of registration under Section 12(g) of the Act. The Reporting Persons also retain the right to change their investment intent at any time, to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer from time to time, or to sell, distribute or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Common Stock beneficially owned by them in any manner permitted by law (including pursuant to a sale or distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Act). The Reporting Persons may engage from time to time in ordinary course transactions with financial institutions with respect to the securities described herein.
Jean Francois Formela, a member of each of AVA XI LLC and AVAO II LLC, is a member of the board of directors of the Issuer. As a director of the Issuer, Mr. Formela may have influence over the corporate activities of the Issuer, including activities which may relate to the transactions described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
