4D Molecular Therapeutics, Inc. received an updated Schedule 13G/A from RA Capital Management and related entities reporting a significant ownership stake. As of December 31, 2025, the reporting group beneficially owned 5,713,852 shares of common stock, representing 9.99% of the outstanding shares.
The RA Capital Healthcare Fund directly holds 5,653,211 shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants exercisable for up to 3,610,000 additional shares. These pre-funded warrants include a 9.99% "Beneficial Ownership Blocker," which currently limits exercisability so that beneficial ownership does not exceed 9.99% of the company’s common stock.
RA Capital, along with Peter Kolchinsky and Rajeev Shah, may be deemed beneficial owners through their control and advisory roles, but they expressly disclaim beneficial ownership except for Section 13(d) reporting purposes. The filing also certifies that the securities were not acquired to change or influence control of 4D Molecular Therapeutics.

Item 4.
Ownership
(a)
Amount beneficially owned:
Row 9 of each Reporting Person's cover page to this Schedule 13G sets forth the aggregate number of securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by such Reporting Person as of December 31, 2025 and is incorporated by reference.
The Fund directly holds 5,653,211 shares of Common Stock and pre-funded warrants ("Pre-Funded Warrants") exercisable for up to 3,610,000 shares of Common Stock. The Pre-Funded Warrants contain a provision (the "Beneficial Ownership Blocker"), which precludes the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that, following exercise, the Fund, together with its affiliates and other attribution parties, would own more than 9.99% of the Common Stock outstanding. The Fund is currently prohibited from exercising a portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership of more than 5,713,852 shares of Common Stock.
RA Capital Healthcare Fund GP, LLC is the general partner of the Fund. The general partner of RA Capital is RA Capital Management GP, LLC, of which Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah are the controlling persons. RA Capital serves as investment adviser for the Fund and may be deemed a beneficial owner, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, of any securities of the Issuer held by the Fund. The Fund has delegated to RA Capital the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of all securities held in the Fund's portfolio, including the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock reported herein. Because the Fund has divested voting and investment power over the reported securities it holds and may not revoke that delegation on less than 61 days' notice, the Fund disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities it holds for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act. As managers of RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah may be deemed beneficial owners, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, of any securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by RA Capital. RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, and Mr. Shah disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G other than for the purpose of determining their obligations under Section 13(d) of the Act, and the filing of this Schedule 13G shall not be deemed an admission that either RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, or Mr. Shah is the beneficial owner of such securities for any other purpose.
(b)
Percent of class:
Due to the Beneficial Ownership Blocker listed in the Pre-Funded Warrants, each Reporting Person's beneficial ownership percentage was 9.99% as of December 31, 2025. Such percentage is based upon the sum of (i) 57,135,075 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock outstanding as of November 7, 2025, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 10, 2025 and (ii) 60,641 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. Due to field limitations of the EDGAR filing system, the percentages listed in Row 11 of the Reporting Persons' cover pages have been rounded down to 9.9%.
(c)

(i) Sole power to vote or to direct the vote:
Row 5 of each Reporting Person's cover page to this Schedule 13G sets forth the sole power to vote or to direct the vote of securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by such Reporting Person as of December 31, 2025 and is incorporated by reference.

Exhibit Information
Exhibit 99.1 Joint Filing Agreement (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 99.1 to Schedule 13G/A filed on February 15, 2025)
What ownership stake does RA Capital report in 4D Molecular Therapeutics (FDMT)?
RA Capital and related entities report beneficial ownership of 5,713,852 FDMT shares, equal to 9.99% of the common stock as of December 31, 2025. This percentage is based on 57,135,075 shares outstanding plus 60,641 shares issuable from pre-funded warrants.
How many 4D Molecular Therapeutics (FDMT) shares and warrants does the RA Capital fund hold?
The RA Capital Healthcare Fund directly holds 5,653,211 FDMT common shares and pre-funded warrants exercisable for up to 3,610,000 additional shares. A beneficial ownership blocker limits warrant exercises so that total beneficial ownership remains below 9.99% of FDMT’s outstanding common stock.
What is the 9.99% Beneficial Ownership Blocker mentioned for FDMT?
The pre-funded warrants held by RA Capital’s fund include a 9.99% Beneficial Ownership Blocker. This provision prevents exercising warrants if, after exercise, the fund and its affiliates would own more than 9.99% of FDMT’s outstanding common stock, effectively capping their reportable ownership percentage.
Do RA Capital and its managers claim full beneficial ownership of FDMT shares?
RA Capital, Peter Kolchinsky, and Rajeev Shah may be deemed beneficial owners under Section 13(d) because of their control roles. However, they disclaim beneficial ownership of the reported FDMT securities except for determining their reporting obligations, reflecting delegated voting and investment authority structures.
Were RA Capital’s FDMT holdings acquired to influence control of the company?
The certification states the FDMT securities were not acquired and are not held for the purpose or effect of changing or influencing control of the issuer. They also are not held in connection with any transaction intended to alter control, aside from specified nomination-related activities.
What date does the RA Capital ownership report for FDMT reference?
The filing reports ownership of FDMT as of December 31, 2025. The percentage calculation uses 57,135,075 FDMT shares outstanding as of November 7, 2025, plus 60,641 shares issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants, resulting in a 9.99% reported ownership stake.
