PROSPECTUS

5,800,019 Shares of Common Stock

This prospectus relates to the offer and resale from time to time of up to 5,800,019 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Aadi Bioscience, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), by the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus, including their transferees, pledgees or donees or their respective successors (the “selling stockholders”), which consist of 3,373,526 outstanding shares of our common stock held by the selling stockholders and 2,426,493 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. The Shares were issued and sold to the selling stockholders in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) pursuant to a securities purchase agreement among us and such selling stockholders dated September 22, 2022 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Concurrently with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the selling stockholders, and we are registering the Shares being offered hereunder pursuant to such registration rights agreement on behalf of the selling stockholders, to be offered and sold by them from time to time. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares offered by this prospectus.

We have agreed, pursuant to the registration rights agreement, to bear all of the expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Shares. The selling stockholders will pay or assume discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers or dealer managers and similar expenses, if any, incurred for the sale of the Shares.

The selling stockholders identified in this prospectus may offer the Shares pursuant to this prospectus from time to time through public or private transactions at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may sell shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders, the purchasers of the shares, or both. For additional information on the methods of sale that may be used by the selling stockholders, see the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” on page 13. For a list of the selling stockholders, see the section entitled “Selling Stockholders” on page 9.

We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required. You should carefully read this prospectus and any amendments or supplements accompanying this prospectus, together with any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein, before you make your investment decision.

The selling stockholders may sell any, all or none of the securities offered by this prospectus and we do not know when or in what amount the selling stockholders may sell their common shares hereunder following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As such, we have elected to rely on certain reduced public company disclosure requirements. We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined under the federal securities laws, and, as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for future filings. See “Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company and an Emerging Growth Company.”

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “AADI.” On November 3, 2022, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $12.51 per share.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors ” on page 5 of this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as updated in the applicable prospectus supplement, and other future filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, for a discussion of the factors you should consider carefully before deciding to purchase our securities.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the risks and uncertainties discussed under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the risks described in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, together with the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained in any applicable prospectus supplement, before deciding whether to purchase any of the securities being registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. If any of these risks actually occur, it may materially harm our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. As a result, the market price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we describe in the documents incorporated by reference herein are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities, and the occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus and our SEC filings that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus contain or incorporate by reference, contains express or implied forward-looking statements which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future operational or financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

6

Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions, and projections about the business and future financial results of the pharmaceutical industry, and other legal, regulatory and economic developments. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely,” and similar expressions (including their use in the negative) intended to identify forward-looking statements although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those described in the documents we have filed with the SEC.

You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that affect our business described in the “Risk Factors” section, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other documents filed by us from time to time with the SEC. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information” beginning on page 15 of this prospectus.

The forward-looking statements in this prospectus represent our views as of the date of this prospectus. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should therefore not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to permit holders of the shares of our common stock described in the section entitled “Selling Stockholders” to resell such shares. We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and we will not receive any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of shares of our common stock held by the selling stockholders. Upon any exercise of the pre-funded warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of such pre-funded warrants. The selling stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from this offering.

The selling stockholders will pay any discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers or dealer managers and expenses incurred by the selling stockholders for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the selling stockholders in disposing of the shares. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing fees, Nasdaq listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our accountants.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This prospectus covers the resale or other disposition of up to 5,800,019 Shares, which consist of (i) 3,373,526 outstanding shares of our common stock held by the selling stockholders and (ii) 2,426,493 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of our common stock that are held by the selling stockholders. The pre-funded warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and will not expire. We cannot predict when or whether any of the selling stockholders will exercise their pre-funded warrants. See “Prospectus Summary—Private Placement.”

The pre-funded warrants provide that a holder of pre-funded warrants does not have the right to exercise pre-funded warrants if such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately before or after giving effect to such exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that each holder may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation by giving notice to the Company, but not in excess of 19.99%. Throughout this prospectus, when we refer to the shares of common stock being registered on behalf of the selling stockholders, we are referring to the outstanding shares of our common stock and the shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding pre-funded warrants without giving effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

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 October 10, 2022. The information in the table below with respect to the selling stockholders has been obtained from the respective selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of the shares of common stock subject to this prospectus. See “Plan of Distribution” as may be supplemented and amended from time to time. We do not know how long the selling stockholders will hold the shares before selling them, and except as set forth below under “Relationship with Selling Stockholders,” we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholders regarding the sale or other disposition of any of the shares.

The number of shares of common stock beneficially owned prior to the offering for each selling stockholder includes (i) all shares of our common stock beneficially held by such selling stockholder as of October 10, 2022, (ii) the number of shares of our common stock that may be offered under this prospectus, and (iii) the number and percentage of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders assuming all of the shares of our common stock registered hereunder are sold. The table below and footnotes assume that the selling stockholders will sell all of the shares listed. However, because the selling stockholders may sell all or some of their shares under this prospectus from time to time, or in another permitted manner, we cannot assure you as to the actual number of shares that will be sold by the selling stockholders or that will be held by the selling stockholders after completion of any sales. We do not know how long the selling stockholders will hold the shares before selling them. The percentages of shares owned after the offering are based on 24,395,117 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 10, 2022, which includes the outstanding shares of common stock offered by this prospectus.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to our common stock. 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 within 60 days. The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership for any selling stockholder named below.

Information about the selling stockholders may change over time. Any changed information will be set forth in an amendment to the registration statement or supplement to this prospectus, to the extent required by law.

Relationship with Selling Stockholders

As discussed in greater detail above under the section “Prospectus Summary—Private Placement,” on September 22, 2022, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with certain of the selling stockholders pursuant to which we sold shares of common stock to such selling stockholders, and agreed with the selling stockholders to file a registration statement to enable the resale of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus.

11

Other than (i) Brendan Delaney, who is our Chief Operating Officer, (ii) Scott Giacobello, who is our Chief Financial Officer, (iii) Bryan Ball, who is our Chief Quality Officer and Senior Vice President, Manufacturing Operations, (iv) Anupam Dalal, M.D., who is a member of our board of directors and the Chief Investment Officer of Acuta Capital Partners, LLC, (v) Caley Castelein, M.D., who is the chair of our board of directors and is a Managing Director of KVP Capital GP, LLC, which is the general partner of KVP Capital, LP., and (vi) Behzad Aghazadeh, Ph.D., who is a member of our board of directors and the Managing Partner and Portfolio Manager of Avoro Capital Advisors, none of the selling stockholders or any persons having control over such selling stockholders has held any position or office with us or our affiliates within the last three years or has had a material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years, other than as a result of the ownership of our shares or other securities.

12

Plan of Distribution

The selling stockholders, including their transferees, pledgees or donees or their respective successors, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

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 stockholders 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).

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the pre-funded warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of such pre-funded warrants.

13

The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, or another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

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, dealer or underwriter, 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. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

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. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective and to remain continuously effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with such registration statement or (2) (B) the date that all the shares covered by this prospectus cease to be “Registrable Securities” (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).
