How many Terns (TERN) shares does Deep Track report owning in this filing?
Deep Track Capital and related reporting persons disclose beneficial ownership of 3,150,000 Terns common shares. This total includes both currently outstanding stock and shares underlying pre-funded warrants, giving them a reported 2.97% beneficial interest in the company’s common stock as of December 31, 2025.
What percentage of Terns (TERN) does Deep Track’s position represent?
The reporting persons state their Terns stake represents 2.97% of the outstanding common stock. That percentage is calculated using 106,142,422 shares, combining 103,761,470 shares outstanding and 2,380,952 shares issuable from pre-funded warrants, subject to a contractual ownership cap.
How is Deep Track’s Terns (TERN) ownership structured between stock and warrants?
Deep Track’s beneficial ownership includes both common stock and 2,380,952 pre-funded warrants exercisable into common shares. These warrants are counted in the 3,150,000 total beneficially owned shares but are subject to a 4.99% maximum beneficial ownership limitation on exercise.
What is the 4.99% Maximum Percentage mentioned in the Terns (TERN) filing?
The filing explains that pre-funded warrants may not be exercised if doing so would cause the holder to beneficially own more than 4.99% of Terns’ outstanding common stock. This Maximum Percentage contractually limits warrant exercises that would push ownership above that threshold.
Why does the filing note Deep Track owns 5 percent or less of Terns (TERN)?
Item 5 of the filing states the reporting persons beneficially own 5 percent or less of Terns’ common stock. Their precise reported stake is 2.97%, placing them below the typical 5% threshold that usually triggers initial beneficial ownership reporting obligations.
Does Deep Track aim to influence control of Terns (TERN) according to this filing?
The certification section states the securities were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of changing or influencing control of Terns Pharmaceuticals. It also notes they are not held in connection with any transaction intended to have that control-related purpose or effect.
