Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Sage Therapeutics, Inc. (SAGE) filed a Post-Effective Amendment to 15 outstanding Form S-8 registration statements.

The action follows the 31 July 2025 merger in which Supernus Pharmaceuticals acquired Sage through subsidiary Saphire, with Sage continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Because all Sage equity offerings have ended, the company is deregistering every share that was registered but remains unissued or unsold. Affected registrations cover multiple plans, including 16.5 million shares under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan as well as shares registered under the 2011 Stock Option & Grant Plan, 2014 Stock Option & Incentive Plan, 2014 ESPP and 2016 Inducement Equity Plan.

This filing is an administrative requirement under the Securities Act and carries no economic change to former Sage shareholders, whose consideration was fixed at merger close. It formally terminates Sage’s standalone equity plans, eliminates residual dilution risk, and contains no new financial results, guidance or liabilities.

Sage Therapeutics, Inc. (SAGE) ha presentato un Emendamento Post-Esecutivo a 15 dichiarazioni di registrazione Form S-8 ancora in corso.

Questa azione segue la fusione del 31 luglio 2025 in cui Supernus Pharmaceuticals ha acquisito Sage tramite la controllata Saphire, con Sage che continua a operare come società controllata al 100%. Poiché tutte le offerte di azioni Sage sono terminate, la società sta cancellando la registrazione di tutte le azioni registrate ma non ancora emesse o vendute. Le registrazioni interessate coprono diversi piani, inclusi 16,5 milioni di azioni nell'ambito del Piano di Incentivi Azionari 2024, oltre alle azioni registrate sotto il Piano Stock Option & Grant 2011, il Piano Stock Option & Incentivi 2014, il Piano ESPP 2014 e il Piano di Incentivi Azionari 2016.

Questa presentazione è un requisito amministrativo ai sensi del Securities Act e non comporta alcuna modifica economica per gli ex azionisti di Sage, il cui compenso è stato definito alla chiusura della fusione. Formalmente termina i piani azionari indipendenti di Sage, elimina il rischio residuo di diluizione e non include nuovi risultati finanziari, previsioni o passività.

Esta acción sigue a la fusión del 31 de julio de 2025 en la que Supernus Pharmaceuticals adquirió Sage a través de su subsidiaria Saphire, con Sage continuando como una subsidiaria de propiedad total. Debido a que todas las ofertas de acciones de Sage han finalizado, la compañía está deregistrando todas las acciones que estaban registradas pero que permanecen no emitidas o no vendidas. Las registraciones afectadas cubren varios planes, incluyendo 16.5 millones de acciones bajo el Plan de Incentivos de Capital 2024, así como acciones registradas bajo el Plan de Opciones y Subvenciones de Acciones 2011, el Plan de Opciones e Incentivos 2014, el Plan ESPP 2014 y el Plan de Capital por Inducción 2016.

Esta presentación es un requisito administrativo bajo la Ley de Valores y no implica ningún cambio económico para los antiguos accionistas de Sage, cuyo pago se fijó al cierre de la fusión. Formalmente termina los planes de capital independientes de Sage, elimina el riesgo residual de dilución y no contiene nuevos resultados financieros, pronósticos ni pasivos.

Sage Therapeutics, Inc. (SAGE)15건의 미결 Form S-8 등록 명세서에 대해 사후 효력 수정서를 제출했습니다.

이번 조치는 2025년 7월 31일에 Supernus Pharmaceuticals가 자회사 Saphire를 통해 Sage를 인수하고, Sage가 완전 자회사로 계속 운영되는 합병 이후의 것입니다. 모든 Sage 주식 공모가 종료됨에 따라 회사는 등록되어 있지만 아직 발행되지 않았거나 판매되지 않은 모든 주식의 등록을 말소하고 있습니다. 해당 등록은 2024년 주식 인센티브 플랜에 따른 1,650만 주를 포함해 2011년 스톡 옵션 및 보조금 플랜, 2014년 스톡 옵션 및 인센티브 플랜, 2014년 ESPP, 2016년 유인 주식 플랜 등 여러 계획을 포함합니다.

이번 제출은 증권법에 따른 행정적 요구사항으로, 합병 시점에 정해진 대가를 받은 이전 Sage 주주들에게는 경제적 변화가 전혀 없습니다. 이는 Sage의 독립적인 주식 계획을 공식적으로 종료하고, 잔여 희석 위험을 제거하며, 새로운 재무 결과, 가이드라인 또는 부채를 포함하지 않습니다.

Sage Therapeutics, Inc. (SAGE) a déposé un amendement post-effectif concernant 15 déclarations d'enregistrement Form S-8 en cours.

Cette action fait suite à la fusion du 31 juillet 2025 au cours de laquelle Supernus Pharmaceuticals a acquis Sage via sa filiale Saphire, Sage restant une filiale à part entière. Étant donné que toutes les offres d'actions Sage sont terminées, la société procède à la déréservation de toutes les actions enregistrées mais non émises ou non vendues. Les enregistrements concernés couvrent plusieurs plans, y compris 16,5 millions d'actions dans le cadre du Plan d'Incitation en Actions 2024, ainsi que des actions enregistrées sous le Plan d'Options et Subventions d'Actions 2011, le Plan d'Options et d'Incitations 2014, le Plan ESPP 2014 et le Plan d'Actions d'Induction 2016.

Ce dépôt est une exigence administrative en vertu du Securities Act et n'entraîne aucun changement économique pour les anciens actionnaires de Sage, dont la contrepartie a été fixée à la clôture de la fusion. Il met formellement fin aux plans d'actions autonomes de Sage, élimine le risque de dilution résiduel et ne contient aucun nouveau résultat financier, prévision ou passif.

Sage Therapeutics, Inc. (SAGE) hat eine nachwirkende Änderung zu 15 noch ausstehenden Form S-8-Registrierungserklärungen eingereicht.

Diese Maßnahme folgt auf die Fusion am 31. Juli 2025, bei der Supernus Pharmaceuticals Sage über die Tochtergesellschaft Saphire übernommen hat, wobei Sage als hundertprozentige Tochtergesellschaft weitergeführt wird. Da alle Aktienangebote von Sage beendet sind, deregistriert das Unternehmen jede registrierte, aber noch nicht ausgegebene oder verkaufte Aktie. Die betroffenen Registrierungen umfassen mehrere Pläne, darunter 16,5 Millionen Aktien im Rahmen des Equity Incentive Plans 2024 sowie Aktien, die unter dem Stock Option & Grant Plan 2011, dem Stock Option & Incentive Plan 2014, dem ESPP 2014 und dem Inducement Equity Plan 2016 registriert sind.

Diese Einreichung ist eine administrative Anforderung gemäß dem Securities Act und bringt keine wirtschaftliche Veränderung für ehemalige Sage-Aktionäre, deren Gegenleistung beim Abschluss der Fusion festgelegt wurde. Sie beendet formell die eigenständigen Aktienpläne von Sage, beseitigt das verbleibende Verwässerungsrisiko und enthält keine neuen finanziellen Ergebnisse, Prognosen oder Verbindlichkeiten.

Positive
  • Merger with Supernus closed on 31 July 2025, confirming transaction completion and integration.
  • Deregistration eliminates potential future dilution from approximately 16.5 M shares under the 2024 plan and other legacy plans.
Negative
  • None.

Insights

TL;DR – Administrative deregistration; standard post-merger cleanup, negligible market impact.

This S-8 POS fulfills Sage’s undertaking to remove unsold securities once offerings end. With Sage now a Supernus subsidiary, the standalone equity plans can no longer issue shares, so the company must deregister them. No capital is raised, no new obligations are created, and the amendment does not affect the merger structure. Routine compliance; investors should view it as housekeeping.

TL;DR – Neutral for valuation; removes residual dilution risk, already priced in.

The merger has already converted SAGE equity into Supernus consideration; this filing simply cancels the ability to issue tens of millions of previously registered shares. While marginally positive from a dilution standpoint, the market had assumed zero standalone issuance post-close, so trading impact is immaterial. No earnings, cash-flow or synergy updates are provided.
