DESCRIPTION OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT WITH THE SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
On March 6, 2026, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with the selling stockholders, pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of (i) 14,973,257 shares of our common stock at a price of $5.61 per share and (ii) to certain investors in lieu of shares of our common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase 27,807,482 shares of our common stock for a price of $5.609 per pre-funded warrant, in a private placement to certain institutional accredited investors. Each pre-funded warrant is exercisable at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, is exercisable immediately and is exercisable until the pre-funded warrant is exercised in full. The closing of the issuance and sale of these securities was consummated on March 9, 2026.
We received gross proceeds of approximately $240.0 million from the sale of these securities, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses.
For a detailed description of the transactions contemplated by the securities purchase agreement with the selling stockholders and the securities issued pursuant thereto, see the section entitled "Selling Stockholders" in this prospectus. We filed the registration statement on Form S-3, of which this prospectus forms a part, to fulfill our contractual obligations under the registration rights agreement entered into concurrently with the securities purchase agreement with the selling stockholders to provide for the resale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock offered hereby.

The risks described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, our most recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the other filings we make with the SEC incorporated by reference herein are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties may also impair our business operations. If any of the risks described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, our most recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the other filings incorporated by reference herein occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects could be harmed.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
On March 6, 2026, we entered into a securities purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with the selling stockholders, pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of (i) 14,973,257 shares of our common stock at a price of $5.61 per share and (ii) to certain investors in lieu of shares of our common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase 27,807,482 shares of our common stock for a price of $5.609 per pre-funded warrant, in a private placement to certain institutional accredited investors, which we refer to as the Private Placement. The closing of the issuance and sale of these securities was consummated on March 9, 2026. Each pre-funded warrant has an exercise price of $0.001 per share, is exercisable immediately and is exercisable until the pre-funded warrant is exercised in full. The shares issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants will become eligible for sale by the selling stockholders under this prospectus who hold pre-funded warrants only when the pre-funded warrants are exercised. We cannot predict when or whether any of the selling stockholders who hold pre-funded warrants will exercise their pre-funded warrants.
Under the terms of the pre-funded warrants, we may not effect the exercise of any such warrant, and a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any such warrant, if, upon giving effect to such exercise, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates, any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder's affiliates, and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of our common stock would or could be aggregated with the holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Exchange Act) would exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as elected by the holder, of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of such warrant, which percentage may be increased or decreased at the holder's election upon 61 days' notice to us subject to the terms of such warrants, provided that such percentage may in no event exceed 19.99%. We refer to such percentage limitation as the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
In connection with the Private Placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders, dated as of March 6, 2026, or the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the shares of common stock sold in the Private Placement and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants sold in the Private Placement. We agreed to file such registration statement no later than 30 days following the closing of the Private Placement. We have granted the selling stockholders customary indemnification rights in connection with the registration statement. The selling stockholders have also granted us customary indemnification rights in connection with the registration statement. The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part has been filed in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement.
The foregoing summary descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the pre-funded warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which were filed as exhibits to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 6, 2026, and are incorporated by reference herein.
This prospectus covers the sale or other disposition by the selling stockholders of up to the total number of shares of our common stock that were issued to the selling stockholders pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, plus the total number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants issued or issuable to the selling stockholders, without giving effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation described above. The table below sets forth, to our knowledge, information concerning the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders as of March 10, 2026. The information in the table below with respect to the selling stockholders has been obtained from the selling stockholders. When we refer to the "selling stockholders" in this prospectus, we mean the selling stockholders listed in the table below as offering shares, as well as their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors-in-interest. Throughout this prospectus, when we refer to the shares of our common stock being registered on behalf of the selling stockholders, we are referring to the shares of our common stock and the shares underlying the pre-funded warrants issued or issuable
7
to the selling stockholders pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, without giving effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation described above. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of the shares of common stock subject to this prospectus. See "Plan of Distribution."
The number of shares of common stock beneficially owned prior to the offering for each selling stockholder includes all shares of our common stock beneficially held by such selling stockholder as of March 10, 2026, which includes (1) all shares of common stock purchased by such selling stockholder in the Private Placement and (2) all shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants purchased by such selling stockholder in the Private Placement, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The percentages of shares owned before and after the offering are based on 98,391,314 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 10, 2026, which includes the outstanding shares of common stock offered by this prospectus but does not include any shares of common stock offered by this prospectus that are issuable pursuant to pre-funded warrants and are deemed outstanding in the table below because they are beneficially owned by a person. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares. Generally, a person "beneficially owns" shares of our common stock if the person has or shares with others the right to vote those shares or to dispose of them, or if the person has the right to acquire voting or disposition rights of shares of our common stock within 60 days. In computing the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by a selling stockholder and the percentage ownership of that selling stockholder, we deemed outstanding the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of pre-funded warrants held by that selling stockholder described above up to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation because such shares are exercisable within 60 days of March 10, 2026. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, each selling stockholder named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock beneficially owned by it, except to the extent authority is shared by spouses under applicable law. The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership for any selling stockholder named below.

The number of shares of our common stock in the column "Number of Shares of Common Stock Being Offered" represents all of the shares of our common stock that a selling stockholder may offer and sell from time to time under this prospectus, including shares issuable upon the exercise of pre-funded warrants issued in the Private Placement, without giving effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. |
| (2) |
We do not know when or in what amounts a selling stockholder may offer shares for sale. The selling stockholders might not sell any or might sell all of the shares offered by this prospectus. Because the selling stockholders may offer all or some of the shares pursuant to this offering, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares, we cannot estimate the number of shares that will be held by the selling stockholders after completion of the offering. However, for purposes of this table, we have assumed that, after completion of the offering, none of the shares covered by this prospectus will be held by the selling stockholders, including the shares of common stock we have assumed to be issued upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants sold in the Private Placement. |

The shares reported under "Shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned Prior to the Offering" consist of (a) 62,432 shares underlying options held by Adam Stone, a member of our board of directors, that are exercisable as of March 10, 2026 or will become exercisable within 60 days after such date, (b) 11,833,539 shares held by Perceptive Life Sciences Master Fund, Ltd., and (c) 73,107 shares held by Perceptive Xontogeny Venture Fund, LP. Perceptive Life Sciences Master Fund, Ltd. was issued pre-funded warrants for 8,912,655 shares of common stock in the Private Placement. Perceptive Life Sciences Master Fund, Ltd. is prohibited from exercising such pre-funded warrants, if as a result of such exercise, Perceptive would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. As a result, the shares reported under "Shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned Prior to the Offering" do not include 8,912,655 shares of common stock which may be acquired upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants. Perceptive Advisors LLC is the investment manager to Perceptive Life Sciences Master Fund, Ltd. and may be deemed to beneficially own the securities directly held by Perceptive Life Sciences Master Fund, Ltd.

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:
| |
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| |
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| |
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| |
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| |
privately negotiated transactions; |
| |
short sales and settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part; |

a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
| |
any other method permitted by applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors-in-interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealers or underwriters, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.

We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or the DGCL, provides, generally, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (except actions by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation may similarly indemnify such person for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in the case of claims, issues and matters as to which such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, provided that a court shall have determined, upon application, that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides, generally, that our certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director or officer to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, provided that such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of (i) a director or officer for any breach of the director's or officer's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) a director or officer for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) a director under Section 174 of the DGCL, (iv) a director or officer for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit or (v) an officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation. No such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision became effective.
Our charter and bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. As permitted by the DGCL, we have also entered into and expect to continue to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by our board of directors. Under the terms of our indemnification agreements, we are required to indemnify each of our directors and officers, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, if the basis of the indemnitee's involvement was by reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was a director, or officer, of the
II-1
company or any of its subsidiaries or was serving at our request in an official capacity for another entity. We must indemnify our officers and directors against (1) attorneys' fees and (2) all other costs of any type or nature whatsoever, including any and all expenses and obligations paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, participating in (including on appeal) or preparing to defend, be a witness or participate in any completed, actual, pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under the indemnification agreement. The indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder. These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our officers and directors for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.
In addition, we have purchased a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance that insures our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances.

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Commission, pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions described herein, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
