Insights

ALX Oncology launches a sizable underwritten equity and pre-funded warrant raise of about $150 million.

ALX Oncology has arranged an underwritten public offering of 76,979,112 common shares at $1.57 plus pre-funded warrants for 18,574,120 shares at $1.569. All securities are sold by the company, with expected gross proceeds of about $150 million before fees.

The structure combines immediate equity with pre-funded warrants that carry a nominal $0.001 exercise price. This approach can appeal to investors concerned about crossing ownership thresholds while still delivering near-term capital to the company once the deal closes on February 2, 2026, if conditions are met.

The pre-funded warrants include Beneficial Ownership Limitations at 4.99% or 9.99%, adjustable up to 19.99% with at least 61 days’ notice. These limits and adjustment mechanics influence how quickly individual holders can convert into common stock, so actual issuance over time will depend on holder elections and any fundamental transactions that may occur.

Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 30, 2026, ALX Oncology Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Piper Sandler & Co., UBS Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to the issuance and sale (the “Offering”) of 76,979,112 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an offering price of $1.57 per share and pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase 18,574,120 shares of Common Stock at an offering price of $1.569 per Pre-Funded Warrant. All of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants in the Offering are being sold by the Company.

The gross proceeds from the Offering are expected to be approximately $150 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company and excluding the exercise of any Pre-Funded Warrants. The Offering is expected to close on February 2, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by such parties.

The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-285620) (the “Registration Statement”) and a related prospectus and prospectus supplement, in each case filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each Pre-Funded Warrant will have an exercise price per share of Common Stock equal to $0.001 per share. The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Pre-Funded Warrant is subject to appropriate adjustments in the event of certain stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or similar events affecting the Common Stock. Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable on or after the date of issuance until the date the Pre-Funded Warrant is exercised in full. Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable, in the holder’s discretion, by (i) payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased upon such exercise or (ii) a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrant. Under the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Company may not effect the exercise of any Pre-Funded Warrant, and a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any Pre-Funded Warrant that, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock or the combined voting power of our securities beneficially owned by such holder (together with its attribution affiliates) to exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of the total number of shares of Common Stock or the combined voting power of all of the Company’s securities immediately outstanding after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrant, which percentage may be changed at the holder’s election to a higher or lower percentage not in excess of 19.99% upon at least 61 days’ notice to the Company.

In the event of certain fundamental transactions, a holder of Pre-Funded Warrants will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that such holder would have received had they exercised the Pre-Funded Warrants immediately prior to the fundamental transaction without regard to any limitations on exercise contained in the Pre-Funded Warrants.

The foregoing descriptions of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Pre-Funded Warrants do not purport to be complete and are each qualified in their entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement and the Form of Pre-Funded Warrant, respectively, which are filed as Exhibit 1.1 and Exhibit 4.1 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
