Open Market Sale Agreement℠ financial
"entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement℠ (the “Sales Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC"
at the market offering financial
"sales deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4)"
An at-the-market offering is a way a company raises cash by selling newly issued shares directly into the open market at prevailing prices, rather than all at once in a single deal. Think of it like turning a faucet on to drip shares into trading at current prices when needed; it gives the company flexibility to raise funds over time but can dilute existing shareholders and potentially affect the stock price, which investors should monitor.
shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 regulatory
"under the Company’s existing shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3"
A shelf registration statement on Form S-3 is a pre-approved filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that lets an eligible public company register securities in advance and sell them later in one or more offerings without repeating the full registration process. Think of it like a pre-approved funding line: it gives management the flexibility to raise capital quickly when market conditions are right, a move that can affect share supply, dilution and investor returns, so investors monitor it as a signal of potential financing activity.
prospectus supplement regulatory
"filed a prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) relating to the Sales Agreement"
A prospectus supplement is an additional document provided alongside a company's main offering details, offering updated or extra information about a specific financial product being sold. It helps investors understand the latest terms, risks, and details of the investment, similar to how an update or revision clarifies or expands on original instructions, ensuring they have current and complete information before making a decision.
Equity Distribution Agreement financial
"entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc."
An equity distribution agreement is a formal plan between a company and financial institutions to sell newly issued shares of the company's stock to investors over a period of time. It helps the company raise money gradually, similar to filling a container with water in stages, rather than all at once. For investors, it provides an organized way to buy shares and can influence the stock's supply and price.

Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 12, 2026, Climb Bio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement℠ (the “Sales Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC, as agent (“Jefferies”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), from time to time through Jefferies. The Company has also filed a prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) relating to the Sales Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Company’s existing shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-283166), which was declared effective on November 22, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”). Pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement, the Company may offer and sell shares of Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million under the Sales Agreement (the “Shares”).

Sales of the Shares, if any, under the Prospectus Supplement may be made in sales deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including sales made in ordinary brokers’ transactions on the Nasdaq Global Market or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale. Jefferies is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities but will act as sales agent using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices on mutually agreed terms between Jefferies and the Company. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

The compensation to Jefferies for sales of the Shares sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be an amount of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price per Share sold under the Sales Agreement. The proceeds the Company receives from sales of the Shares, if any, will depend on the number of Shares actually sold and the offering price of such Shares. The Sales Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, indemnification obligations of the Company and Jefferies, including for liabilities under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Sales 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 the contracting parties.

A copy of the Sales Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the material terms of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, counsel to the Company, has issued a legal opinion relating to the Shares. A copy of such legal opinion, including the consent included therein, is filed as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.

The Shares will be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, and offerings of the Shares will be made only by means of the Prospectus Supplement. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Shares, nor shall there be any sale of the Shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities law of such state or jurisdiction.

 

Item 8.01

Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on March 25, 2025, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., as agent (“Oppenheimer”), pursuant to which the Company could offer and sell shares of Common Stock from time to time through Oppenheimer (the “Oppenheimer ATM Offering”). The Company filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC on March 25, 2025, in connection with the Oppenheimer ATM Offering (the “Oppenheimer Prospectus Supplement”), under the Registration Statement. Pursuant to the Oppenheimer Prospectus Supplement, the Company could offer and sell shares of Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $22.35 million under the Distribution Agreement.

The Company terminated the Distribution Agreement effective as of June 11, 2026. The Company did not incur any termination penalties as a result of the termination of the Distribution Agreement. As of the effective date of the termination of the Distribution Agreement, the Company had sold no shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. The $22.35 million of shares of Common Stock that had been available for sale pursuant to the Oppenheimer Prospectus Supplement remained unsold at the time of its termination. The termination of the Distribution Agreement terminated any future sales of Common Stock through the Oppenheimer ATM Offering pursuant to the Oppenheimer Prospectus Supplement.

A copy of the Distribution Agreement was filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 25, 2025.
