Form Type
SCHEDULE 13G/A
Beam Therapeutics Inc. received an amended Schedule 13G from Farallon-managed investment funds and related entities reporting a large passive stake in its common stock. As of the reporting date, the Farallon Funds together hold 10,096,711 Shares and 1,404,988 Common Stock Purchase Warrants.
Each Warrant is exercisable for one Share but is subject to a 9.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation, which currently allows exercise for only 45,145 Shares; the remaining 1,359,843 Warrants are treated as not exercisable within 60 days. Multiple Farallon entities and individual managers, including Joshua J. Dapice and others, may be deemed beneficial owners, with several reporting 10,141,856 Shares, or 9.99% of the class.
The amendment also updates governance of the Farallon General Partner: effective January 1, 2026, Avner A. Husen became a member/manager of the relevant general partners and may be deemed a beneficial owner, while effective December 31, 2025, Richard B. Fried, Rajiv A. Patel and William Seybold ceased those roles and may no longer be deemed beneficial owners. The filing states the securities are not held to change or influence control of Beam.

As of the date requiring the filing of this report, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation permits the Farallon Funds to exercise Warrants for an aggregate of not more than 45,145 Shares. Accordingly, in providing the beneficial ownership information set forth herein, the Reporting Persons have assumed that the aggregate remaining 1,359,843 Warrants held by the Farallon Funds are not exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof and therefore do not confer beneficial ownership of the underlying Shares.

The FHPM General Partner, as the general partner of FHPM, may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of all such Shares held by FHPM and the Shares that FHPM has the right to acquire upon the exercise of Warrants. Each of the Farallon Individual Reporting Persons, as a managing member or senior managing member, as the case may be, of the Farallon General Partner and a manager or senior manager, as the case may be, of the FCIP V General Partner, the F5MI General Partner and the FHPM General Partner, in each case with the power to exercise investment discretion, may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of all such Shares held by the Farallon Funds and the Shares that the Farallon Funds have the right to acquire upon the exercise of Warrants.

FAQ
What stake in Beam Therapeutics (BEAM) do the Farallon funds report?
Farallon-managed funds report beneficial ownership of up to 10,141,856 Beam Therapeutics Shares, representing 9.99% of the common stock. This includes 10,096,711 Shares already held and Warrants currently exercisable for 45,145 Shares under a 9.99% cap.
How many Beam Therapeutics warrants do the Farallon funds hold?
The Farallon Funds hold 1,404,988 Beam Therapeutics Common Stock Purchase Warrants, each for one Share. Due to a 9.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation, only 45,145 are currently counted as exercisable; 1,359,843 are treated as not exercisable within 60 days.
Is the Farallon position in Beam Therapeutics intended to influence control?
The filing certifies the securities “were not acquired and are not held” to change or influence control of Beam Therapeutics. The position is reported on a Schedule 13G/A, typically used for passive holdings rather than activist or control-seeking stakes.
What changes in Farallon management roles does the Beam Therapeutics 13G/A report?
Effective January 1, 2026, Avner A. Husen became a member or manager of several Farallon general partners and may be deemed a beneficial owner. Effective December 31, 2025, Richard B. Fried, Rajiv A. Patel and William Seybold ceased those roles and may no longer be deemed owners.
Which Farallon entities are listed as Beam Therapeutics reporting persons?
Reporting Persons include multiple Farallon funds such as Farallon Capital Partners, L.P., institutional and offshore partnerships, Farallon Healthcare Partners Master, L.P., and their general partners, plus individual managers like Joshua J. Dapice and Hannah E. Dunn, who may be deemed beneficial owners of the funds’ holdings.
What is the significance of the 9.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation for BEAM?
The Warrants contain a 9.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation, preventing exercises that would push Farallon above 9.99% of Beam’s outstanding Shares. This cap constrains additional warrant exercises and shapes how much of the position is treated as currently beneficially owned.
