PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by reference. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before making an investment decision.

Our Business

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering the development of allogeneic, off-the-shelf engineered NK cell therapies. Our company was founded on the belief that engineered NK cell therapies can transform the lives of patients by offering therapies that are clinically meaningful, broadly accessible and unencumbered by the safety concerns often associated with other cell therapy approaches. Our lead pipeline program is NKX019, a CAR NK product candidate targeting the CD19 antigen for the treatment of patients with autoimmune diseases. Our CAR NK platform enables an on-demand, off-the-shelf approach involving scaled manufacturing to broaden patient access. We have developed proprietary technologies designed to generate an abundant supply of NK cells, increase NK cell recognition of target antigens, and enhance NK cell fitness to support scalable, off the shelf administration. NKX019 is allogeneic, which means it is produced using cells from a different person than the patient(s) being treated, and it is produced in quantity, then frozen and therefore available for treating patients without delay, unlike autologous cell therapies, which are derived from a patient's own cells and must be manufactured as needed for each patient. We believe that engineered NK cells have the potential to be effective and accessible therapies for autoimmune diseases and other diseases, be well tolerated, and avoid some of the toxicities observed with other cell therapies.

NKX019 is currently being studied in an ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial, Ntrust-1, for lupus nephritis and primary membranous nephropathy and a Phase 1 clinical trial, Ntrust-2, for systemic sclerosis, idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis. NKX019 was initially studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial for certain B-cell malignancies, along with NKX101, a CAR NK product candidate targeting cells that display NKG2D ligands, which was studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial for certain hematologic malignancies. Both oncology studies closed patient enrollment in 2023 and have been deprioritized to direct primary resources to the development of our lead pipeline program, NKX019, for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Our modular engineering platform builds on the distinctive biology of NK cells and their role in eradicating aberrant and pathologically transformed cells. Our process starts with mature NK cells derived from healthy donors. We build on the intrinsic ability of these immune cells to identify and kill transformed cells with cell engineering to further enhance their activity. This engineering involves inducing the expression of a chimeric antigen receptor on the surface of an NK cell to enable the cell to recognize specific proteins or antigens that are present on the surface of target cells. Our engineered CAR NK cells consist of an NK cell engineered with a targeting receptor, OX40 costimulatory domain, CD3ζ(zeta) signaling moiety, and a membrane-bound form of the cytokine IL(interleukin)-15.

Risk Factors

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 6 of this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus for a discussion of certain factors to consider carefully before deciding to purchase any shares of our common stock.

The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on 71,078,531 shares of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2025, and excludes the following:

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding to invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below together with all of the other information contained in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, including the risks described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC, including subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could suffer materially. In such event, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

The market price for our common stock may be volatile, which could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment.

The trading price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Factors affecting the trading price of our common stock, may include but are not limited to: (i) our decision to initiate a clinical study, not to initiate a clinical study or to terminate an existing clinical study; (ii) changes in our strategy, including decisions to deprioritize certain product candidates or change our pipeline focus in the future, as well as cost-containment or cost-optimization initiatives we may undertake; (iii) delays in the announcement of initial data or clinical results from our clinical trials or expectations that such delays may occur; (iv) data or clinical results from our clinical trials; (v) adverse regulatory decisions, including failure to receive regulatory approval for our products; (vi) success or failure of competitive products, immunotherapy drugs or cellular therapies more generally; (vii) adverse developments concerning our manufacturers or our strategic partnerships; (viii) adverse safety or other clinical results, such as those that have occurred in the past or that may occur in the future, related to cellular therapies being developed by other companies that are or may be perceived to be similar to our cellular therapies; (ix) operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us; (x) sales of substantial amounts of common stock by our directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; (xi) general economic and political conditions such as military conflicts, political unrest, recessions, inflationary pressures, interest rates, fuel prices, elections, tariffs and trade policies, drug pricing policies, international currency fluctuations, acts of war or terrorism, and other public health crises, illnesses, epidemics or pandemics; and (xii) other factors discussed in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC, including subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, that are incorporated by reference herein.

Any of the factors listed above could materially adversely affect your investment in our common stock, and our common stock may trade at prices significantly below the initial public offering price or the price at which you purchased the stock, which could contribute to a loss of all or part of your investment. In such circumstances the trading price of our common stock may not recover and may experience a further decline.

In addition, broad market and industry factors could materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock, irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general, and Nasdaq and the market for biotechnology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of ours, may not be predictable. For instance, technical factors in the public trading market for our common stock may produce price movements that may or may not comport with macro, industry or company-specific fundamentals, including, without limitation, the sentiment of retail investors (including as may be expressed on financial trading and other social media sites), the amount and status of short interest in our common stock, access to margin debt, and trading in options and other derivatives on our common stock. In addition, the trading prices for common stock of other biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies may be highly volatile in the event of a pandemic, epidemic, or outbreak of infectious disease, such as an outbreak of a COVID-19 variant. A loss of investor confidence in the market for biotechnology or pharmaceutical stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to us, the opportunities in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical market or the stock market in general, could depress our stock price regardless of our business, financial condition, results of operations or growth prospects.

Concentration of ownership of our shares of common stock among our existing executive officers, directors and principal stockholders may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.

As of March 18, 2026, our directors and executive officers, and entities affiliated with them, as well as holders of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock, in the aggregate beneficially own approximately 38% of our common stock (based on 71,290,490 shares of our common stock outstanding and 3,000,031 shares that could be issued upon the exercise of pre-funded warrants). These stockholders, acting together, are able to control or significantly influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

Some of these persons or entities may have interests different than those of our other investors. For example, because many of these stockholders purchased their shares at prices substantially below the price at which shares were sold in the initial public offering ("IPO") and have held their shares for a longer period, they may be more interested in selling our company to an acquirer than other investors, or they may want us to pursue strategies that deviate from the interests of other stockholders.

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares are eligible to be sold into the market, which could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of stockholders intend to sell shares of our common stock, could reduce the market price of our common stock. As of March 18, 2026, we had 74,290,521 shares of common stock outstanding (including pre-funded warrants).

Holders of an aggregate of 9,837,634 shares of common stock, including with respect to shares of our convertible preferred stock that converted into shares of our common stock upon the completion of the IPO, have rights, subject to specified conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other stockholders, until such shares can otherwise be sold without restriction under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or until the rights terminate pursuant to the terms of the stockholders agreement between us and such holders. We have also registered all shares of common stock subject to equity awards issued or reserved for future issuance under our equity compensation plans on registration statements on Form S-8, and these shares can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to volume limitations applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Any sales of securities by these stockholders could have a negative impact on the trading price of our common stock.

We are a "smaller reporting company" and we rely on exemptions from certain disclosure and governance requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies, as a result of which our common stock may be less attractive to investors.

We are a "smaller reporting company" as defined by applicable rules of the SEC. We will remain a smaller reporting company and non-accelerated filer until we have a public float of $700 million or more as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or a public float of $250 million or more as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter and annual revenues of $100 million or more. Although we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we continue to qualify as a smaller reporting company and do not otherwise become an "accelerated filer" or "large accelerated filer," we may continue to rely on scaled disclosure requirements, including the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation and certain other disclosures in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we rely on smaller reporting company exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Risks Related to this Offering

We have broad discretion in how we use the net proceeds of this offering, and we may not use these proceeds effectively or in ways with which you agree.

Our management will have broad discretion as to the application of the net proceeds of this offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering. See "Use of Proceeds." Our

stockholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. Moreover, our management may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that may not yield profitable results or increase the market price of our common stock.

The common stock offered hereby will be sold in "at the market offerings," and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices and numbers of shares sold, and the Sales Agreement does not specify any required minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their shares as a result of share sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

The actual number of shares we may issue under the Sales Agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain and you may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to submit an order to Stifel to sell shares of our common stock at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares that are sold by Stifel after we submit any such order will fluctuate based on the market price of the common stock during the sales period and limits we set with Stifel. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period, it is not possible at this stage to predict the number of shares that will be ultimately issued. In addition, in order to raise additional capital, we may offer in the future additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into our common stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of any common stock offered under this prospectus to fund the research, development and manufacturing of our product candidates, continue research activities related to advancing our NK cell therapy platform, increase our working capital, fund capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes.

Pending the specific use of net proceeds as described in this prospectus, we intend to invest the net proceeds to us from this offering in short term investments, including marketable securities.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We have entered into a Sales Agreement with Stifel, under which we may issue and sell from time to time up to $100,000,000 of our common stock through Stifel as our sales agent. If authorized by us in writing, Stifel may purchase shares of our common stock as principal.

Sales, if any, of our common stock under the Sales Agreement may be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an "at the market" offering as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, including without limitation sales made on or through The Nasdaq Global Select Market or on any other existing trading market for the common stock, in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions or through a combination of any such methods of sale permitted by law.

Stifel will offer our common stock subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement on a daily basis or as otherwise agreed upon by us and Stifel. We will designate the maximum amount of common stock to be sold through Stifel on a daily basis or otherwise determine such maximum amount together with Stifel. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Stifel will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf all of the shares of common stock requested to be sold by us. We may instruct Stifel not to sell common stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us in any such instruction. Stifel or we may suspend the offering of our common stock being made through Stifel under the Sales Agreement upon proper notice to the other party. Stifel and we each have the right, by giving written notice as specified in the Sales Agreement, to terminate the Sales Agreement in each party's sole discretion at any time.

The aggregate compensation payable to Stifel as sales agent will be up to 3.0% of the gross sales price of the shares sold through it pursuant to the Sales Agreement. We have also agreed to reimburse Stifel up to $50,000 of Stifel's actual outside legal expenses incurred by Stifel in connection with this offering. We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding commissions payable to Stifel under the Sales Agreement, will be approximately $300,000.

The remaining sales proceeds, after deducting any expenses payable by us and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory organization in connection with the sales, will equal our net proceeds for the sale of such common stock.

Stifel will provide written confirmation to us following the close of trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on each day in which common stock is sold through it as sales agent under the Sales Agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares of common stock sold through it as sales agent on that day, the volume weighted average price of the shares sold, the percentage of the daily trading volume and the net proceeds to us.

We will report at least quarterly the number of shares of common stock sold through Stifel under the Sales Agreement, the net proceeds to us and the compensation paid by us to Stifel in connection with the sales of common stock.

Settlement for sales of common stock will occur, unless the parties agree otherwise, on the first trading day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which any sales were made in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

In connection with the sales of our common stock on our behalf, Stifel will be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation paid to Stifel will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed in the Sales Agreement to provide indemnification and contribution to Stifel against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. As sales agent, Stifel will not engage in any transaction that stabilizes our common stock.

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "NKTX."

Stifel and/or its affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, various investment banking and other financial services for us for which services they have received and, may in the future receive, customary fees.
