Kymera Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: KYMR), a clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company advancing a new class of small molecule
medicines using targeted protein degradation (TPD), today announced
the pricing of its underwritten public offering of $275 million of
shares of its common stock and, in lieu of common stock to certain
investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of its common
stock. Kymera is selling 2,250,495 shares of common stock and, in
lieu of common stock to certain investors, pre-funded warrants to
purchase 8,640,594 shares of common stock in the offering. The
shares of common stock are being sold at a public offering price of
$25.25 per share and the pre-funded warrants are being sold at a
public offering price of $25.2499 per pre-funded warrants, which
represents the per share public offering price of each share of
common stock less the $0.0001 per share exercise price for each
pre-funded warrant. The gross proceeds to Kymera from the offering
are expected to be approximately $275 million, before deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering
expenses payable by Kymera, excluding the exercise of any
pre-funded warrants and assuming no exercise of the underwriters’
option to purchase additional shares. In addition, Kymera has
granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an
additional $41.25 million of shares of its common stock at the
public offering price per share, less underwriting discounts and
commissions. All of the securities being sold in this offering are
being offered by Kymera. The offering is expected to close on
January 9, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary
conditions.

continue to advance its pipeline of preclinical and clinical
degrader programs that are designed to address large patient
populations with significant need and clear commercial opportunity,
and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Kymera may also use a portion of the net proceeds to in-license,
acquire or invest in complementary businesses or technologies to
continue to build its pipeline, research and development
capabilities and its intellectual property position.
