Insights

Large Incyte holder formalizes resale rights for sizable 15.7% stake.

Baker Bros. Advisors and related entities report beneficial ownership of up to 31,213,417 Incyte common shares, or 15.7% of the class, based on 199,014,486 shares outstanding as of February 3, 2026. This includes 108,931 vested stock options received by Julian C. Baker as board compensation but economically allocated to the funds.

The new Registration Rights Agreement dated February 6, 2026 grants the funds shelf resale registration for all current and future Incyte securities they hold. It allows one underwritten offering per calendar year (up to three total) and up to two underwritten offerings or block trades in any twelve-month period, subject to stated conditions.

These rights last for up to ten years and clarify how a significant shareholder can bring registered stock to market. Any actual share sales would depend on future decisions by the Baker-managed funds and would be detailed in subsequent transaction or registration disclosures.
