Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Apollomics Inc. disclosed an update on the holdings of investor Yi‑Kuei (Alex) Chen. An affiliated entity, Maxpro Investment Co., Ltd., entered into a Subscription Agreement on August 7, 2026 to purchase 20,000 Class A shares at $15.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $300,000, in a private placement that closed on August 14, 2026.

Following this transaction, Mr. Chen beneficially owns 145,171 Class A shares, including shares held directly, RSUs vesting within 60 days, and warrants held by Maxpro, representing approximately 4.97% of the company’s Class A shares deemed outstanding for reporting purposes. Because the total number of outstanding Class A shares increased after the private placement, Mr. Chen ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class on August 14, 2026. The newly issued shares are restricted securities subject to transfer limitations under the Subscription Agreement.

beneficially owns financial
"As of the date of this Amendment No. 1, the Reporting Person beneficially owns 145,171 Class A Shares"
Beneficially owns means a person or entity enjoys the economic benefits and control of a security even if the legal title or registration is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and profits from a car that is registered to a friend: you use it, benefit from it, and make decisions about it even though the official paperwork lists someone else. For investors, this matters because it reveals who truly controls shares, affects voting power, potential conflicts of interest, and regulatory disclosure obligations.
private placement financial
"purchase 20,000 Class A Shares at a purchase price of $15.00 per share, in a private placement by the Issuer"
A private placement is a sale of securities directly to a selected group of investors, typically institutions or accredited investors, instead of through a public offering. It lets a company raise money faster and with fewer regulatory steps; for existing shareholders it matters because the newly issued shares, often sold at a discount, increase the share count and can dilute their ownership.
Subscription Agreement financial
"Maxpro entered into a subscription agreement with the Issuer (the "Subscription Agreement")"
A subscription agreement is a legal contract in which an investor agrees to buy a specific number of a company’s shares or other securities under set terms, including price, payment method and conditions for closing the sale. It matters to investors because it legally locks in their purchase and the company’s obligations, determines ownership percentage and any investor rights, and can include conditions or promises that affect future control or returns—like signing a detailed purchase order for equity.
restricted securities regulatory
"The Subscription Agreement provides that the Class A Shares issued thereunder are restricted securities and may not be offered, resold"
Restricted securities are shares or other investment instruments that come with legal or contractual limits on when and how they can be sold, like stock given to founders or bought in a private offering. Think of them as assets in a locked box that can’t be freely traded until certain conditions — such as a waiting period, company registration, or specific approvals — are met. For investors this matters because restricted securities are less liquid and can affect timing, price, and perceived value when they eventually enter the market.
Rule 13d-3(d)(1) regulatory
"deemed outstanding for purposes of Rule 13d-3(d)(1)"
working capital financial
"Maxpro acquired the Class A Shares in the Private Placement using its working capital and/or investment funds"
Working capital is the money a business has available to cover its daily expenses, like paying bills and buying supplies. It’s like the cash in your wallet that helps you handle everyday costs; having enough ensures the business can operate smoothly without running into money shortages.
