Insights

Hemab’s IPO raises substantial capital and adds protective governance.

Hemab Therapeutics completed an IPO of $346.7 million in gross proceeds through the sale of 19,262,500 common shares at $18.00 each. This significantly enhances the company’s cash resources for operations and growth without referenced debt, a notable capital-raising milestone.

The Restated Certificate lifts authorized common stock to 400,000,000 shares and adds 5,000,000 undesignated preferred shares, giving the board flexibility for future financings. A classified board, supermajority removal threshold, and limits on written consents and special meetings tilt control toward the board, which can stabilize governance but may reduce stockholder influence.

Exclusive forum clauses steering internal corporate claims to Delaware courts and federal securities claims to U.S. district courts may streamline litigation. Future disclosures in company filings may clarify how additional equity capacity is used relative to post-IPO strategy and capital needs.

Restated Certificate of Incorporation regulatory
"filed a restated certificate of incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) with the Secretary"
A restated certificate of incorporation is an updated, single-document version of a company’s founding rules that folds together the original charter and all later changes into one clear set of terms — like replacing a patchwork manual with a clean, revised edition. Investors care because it clarifies ownership details, voting rights, share classes and other legal rules that affect control, dividends and how value is created or diluted, so it can change the risks and benefits of owning the stock.
classified board of directors financial
"establish a classified board of directors, divided into three classes, each"
emerging growth company regulatory
"Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (§240.12b-2 of this chapter). Emerging growth company"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.
exclusive forum regulatory
"shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any action asserting"
initial public offering financial
"in connection with the closing of the Company’s initial public offering of common stock (the “IPO”)."
An initial public offering (IPO) is when a private company first sells its shares to the public and becomes a stock-listed company. It matters because it allows the company to raise money from a wide range of investors, helping it grow, while giving early shareholders a way to sell some of their ownership.

Item 5.03.

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On May 4, 2026, Hemab Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a restated certificate of incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in connection with the closing of the Company’s initial public offering of common stock (the “IPO”). The Company’s board of directors and stockholders previously approved the Restated Certificate to be filed in connection with, and to be effective upon, the closing of the IPO.

The Restated Certificate amends and restates the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended in its entirety to, among other things: (i) increase the authorized number of shares of common stock to 400,000,000 shares; (ii) eliminate all references to the previously existing series of preferred stock; (iii) authorize 5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock that may be issued from time to time by the Company’s board of directors in one or more series; (iv) establish a classified board of directors, divided into three classes, each of whose members will serve for staggered three-year terms; (v) provide that directors may be removed from office only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors; (vi) provide that any vacancy on the Company’s board of directors, however occurring, may be filled only by vote of a majority of directors then in office; (vii) eliminate the ability of the Company’s stockholders to take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders and to call special meetings of stockholders; (viii) provide that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any action asserting an internal corporate claim as defined in Section 115 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, provided, however, that such choice of forum provision shall not apply to claims arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction; and (ix) provide that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any claims not covered in clause (viii) that are brought by stockholders, when acting in their capacity as stockholders or in the right of the Company, and that relate to the business of the Company, the conduct of its affairs, or the rights or powers of the Company or its stockholders, directors or officers, including without limitation claims arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and any other applicable claims for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

The foregoing description of the amendments made by the Restated Certificate is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Restated Certificate, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On May 4, 2026, in connection with the closing of the IPO, the amended and restated bylaws of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), which were previously approved by the Company’s board of directors and stockholders, became effective upon the closing of the IPO.
