Insights

Equity capital markets analyst

Phathom is raising about $130M via stock and pre-funded warrants.

Phathom Pharmaceuticals entered an underwriting agreement to issue 6,875,000 common shares at $16.00 and pre-funded warrants for 1,250,078 shares at $15.999, with underwriters purchasing at discounted prices. This structure combines immediate equity issuance with pre-funded warrants, which are economically similar to stock because the exercise price is only $0.001 per share.

The expected net proceeds of approximately $130 million, or $150 million if the underwriters exercise their option for up to 1,218,761 additional shares, represent a significant capital infusion. The pre-funded warrants include a beneficial ownership limitation of up to 19.99% of outstanding common stock, which helps keep any single holder below that threshold while still allowing substantial participation.

The transaction uses an existing Form S-3 shelf and is expected to close on January 9, 2026, subject to customary conditions. Future disclosures in company filings may clarify how the proceeds are deployed and how much of the underwriters’ option is ultimately exercised.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On January 7, 2026, Phathom Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Phathom” or the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Guggenheim Securities, LLC and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to the issuance and sale of (i) 6,875,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an offering price to the public of $16.00 per share, and (ii) with respect to certain investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,250,078 shares of Common Stock at a price of $15.999 per pre-funded warrant (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), which represents the per share price for the Shares less a nominal $0.001 per share exercise price for each Pre-Funded Warrant. The Underwriters have agreed to purchase the shares from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $15.04 per share and pre-funded warrants at a price of $15.039 per pre-funded warrant. In addition, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,218,761 additional shares of Common Stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The net proceeds to the Company from this offering are expected to be approximately $130 million, or approximately $150 million if the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The offering is expected to close on January 9, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Each Pre-Funded Warrant will have an exercise price of $0.001 per share of Common Stock, will be immediately exercisable on the date of issuance and will not expire. Under the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Company may not effect the exercise of any Pre-Funded Warrant, and a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any Pre-Funded Warrant, which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause a holder (together with its affiliates) to own more than a specified beneficial ownership limitation of either 19.99% (as selected by such holder prior to the issuance of the Pre-Funded Warrant) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days after such notice is delivered to the Company.

The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Pre-Funded Warrant will be subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Common Stock.

In the event of certain fundamental transactions (as described in the Pre-Funded Warrants), a holder of Pre-Funded Warrants will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the kind and amount of securities, cash or property that such holder would have received had they exercised in full the Pre-Funded Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction without regard to any limitations on exercise contained in the Pre-Funded Warrants.

The offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-292596), including the prospectus included therein, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and which became automatically effective upon filing, and a prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting 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.
