Insights

Apogee raises about $323.3 million while tightening APG777 trial timelines into 2026.

The company is conducting a marketed equity deal, selling 6,951,221 common shares at $41.00 and pre-funded warrants for 365,853 shares at $40.99999, with underwriters fully exercising an option for up to 1,097,561 additional shares. Net proceeds are expected to be approximately $323.3 million after underwriting discounts, commissions, and estimated expenses, materially increasing the cash balance through a primary issuance.

The pre-funded warrants carry a very low exercise price of $0.00001 per share and include beneficial ownership limits at 4.99%, 9.99%, or up to 19.99% with 61 days’ notice, which governs how concentrated any single holder’s ownership can become upon exercise. These mechanics shape how and when warrant holders can convert into common shares but do not change the aggregate economic size of the raise as disclosed.

On the development side, Apogee has increased the planned APEX Phase 2 APG777 atopic dermatitis Part B enrollment to 320 patients, with enrollment completion expected by year-end. The company now guides to topline maintenance data from Part A in the first quarter of 2026, 16-week induction data from Part B in the second quarter of 2026, and Phase 1b APG777 asthma topline data in the first quarter of 2026, providing a sequence of clinical readouts anchored to those dates.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 8, 2025, Apogee Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (“Underwriting Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Guggenheim Securities, LLC and TD Securities (USA) LLC, as the representatives of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), to issue and sell 6,951,221 shares of the Company’s common stock at a public offering price of $41.00 per share and, in lieu of common stock to certain investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase 365,853 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) at a public offering price of $40.99999 per share, which represents the per share public offering price for the common stock less the $0.00001 per share exercise price for each Pre-Funded Warrant (the “Offering”). In addition, the Company has granted the Underwriters an option (the “Option”) for a period of 30 days to purchase up to an additional 1,097,561 shares of its common stock at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, which the Underwriters exercised in full on October 9, 2025.

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable at any time after the date of issuance. A holder of Pre-Funded Warrants may not exercise the warrant if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. A holder of Pre-Funded Warrants may increase or decrease this percentage to a percentage not in excess of 19.99% by providing at least 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.

 

The net proceeds from the Offering, including proceeds from the exercise in full of the Option by the Underwriters, are expected to be approximately $323.3 million, after deducting the Underwriters’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

 

The securities described above were offered pursuant to a shelf registration statement (File No. 333-281503), which became effective on August 12, 2024. A final prospectus supplement dated October 8, 2025 relating to and describing the terms of the Offering was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 9, 2025. The Offering is expected to close on October 10, 2025.

 

In the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute payments that the underwriters may be required to make because of such liabilities.

 

A copy of the Underwriting Agreement and the form of Pre-Funded Warrant are filed as Exhibit 1.1 and 4.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement and the Pre-Funded Warrants do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibit.

 

A copy of the opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP relating to the validity of the issuance and sale of the shares of the common stock and the Pre-Funded Warrants in the Offering is filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.

In October 2025, the Company provided updates regarding upcoming milestones for certain of its ongoing clinical trials. The Company has increased the expected patient population to 320 patients and expects to complete enrollment in the Part B portion of its APEX Phase 2 trial of APG777 in atopic dermatitis by the end of the year.
