Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Sage Therapeutics, Inc. (SAGE) filed a Post-Effective Amendment to fifteen prior Form S-8 registration statements. The amendment deregisters all unsold shares that had been reserved for issuance under various employee equity plans, including the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (16.5 million shares) and multiple older stock option and ESPP programs.

The action follows the 31 Jul 2025 merger in which Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. acquired Sage via subsidiary Saphire, Inc., leaving Sage as a wholly owned subsidiary. Because Sage has terminated all public offerings of its securities, it is obligated under the undertakings in each S-8 to remove from registration any shares that remain unissued at the close of the offering. No new securities are being registered, and no financial results or guidance are provided.

The filing is procedural; it confirms completion of the merger and cleans up the company’s shelf of employee-plan shares. There is no direct economic impact on former Sage public shareholders, whose merger consideration would have been set on the closing date.

Sage Therapeutics, Inc. (SAGE) ha presentato un Emendamento Post-Efficace a quindici precedenti dichiarazioni di registrazione Form S-8. L'emendamento cancella la registrazione di tutte le azioni non vendute riservate per l'emissione nell'ambito di vari piani azionari per dipendenti, inclusi il Piano di Incentivi Azionari 2024 (16,5 milioni di azioni) e diversi programmi più vecchi di opzioni azionarie e ESPP.

Questa azione segue la fusione del 31 luglio 2025 in cui Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ha acquisito Sage tramite la controllata Saphire, Inc., rendendo Sage una controllata interamente posseduta. Poiché Sage ha terminato tutte le offerte pubbliche dei suoi titoli, è obbligata, secondo gli impegni di ogni modulo S-8, a rimuovere dalla registrazione tutte le azioni non emesse alla chiusura dell'offerta. Non vengono registrati nuovi titoli, né vengono forniti risultati finanziari o indicazioni.

La presentazione è di natura procedurale; conferma il completamento della fusione e aggiorna il portafoglio di azioni legate ai piani per dipendenti. Non vi è alcun impatto economico diretto sugli ex azionisti pubblici di Sage, il cui corrispettivo per la fusione sarebbe stato determinato alla data di chiusura.

Sage Therapeutics, Inc. (SAGE) presentó una Enmienda Post-Efectiva a quince declaraciones de registro Form S-8 anteriores. La enmienda cancela la inscripción de todas las acciones no vendidas que se habían reservado para emisión bajo varios planes de acciones para empleados, incluyendo el Plan de Incentivos de Acciones 2024 (16.5 millones de acciones) y múltiples programas antiguos de opciones sobre acciones y ESPP.

Esta acción sigue a la fusión del 31 de julio de 2025 en la que Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. adquirió Sage a través de su subsidiaria Saphire, Inc., dejando a Sage como una subsidiaria de propiedad total. Debido a que Sage ha terminado todas las ofertas públicas de sus valores, está obligada bajo los compromisos en cada S-8 a retirar de registro cualquier acción que permanezca sin emitir al cierre de la oferta. No se están registrando nuevos valores, ni se proporcionan resultados financieros o guías.

La presentación es de carácter procedimental; confirma la finalización de la fusión y limpia la reserva de acciones para planes de empleados de la compañía. No hay impacto económico directo en los antiguos accionistas públicos de Sage, cuyo pago por la fusión se habría establecido en la fecha de cierre.

Sage Therapeutics, Inc. (SAGE)는 이전에 제출한 15건의 Form S-8 등록 신고서에 대한 사후 효력 수정서(Post-Effective Amendment)를 제출했습니다. 이 수정서는 2024년 주식 인센티브 플랜(1,650만 주)과 여러 구식 스톡옵션 및 ESPP 프로그램을 포함한 다양한 직원 주식 계획에 따라 발행을 위해 예약된 판매되지 않은 모든 주식을 등록 말소합니다.

이 조치는 2025년 7월 31일의 합병 이후 이루어진 것으로, Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.가 자회사 Saphire, Inc.를 통해 Sage를 인수하여 Sage를 완전 자회사로 만들었습니다. Sage는 모든 공개 증권 발행을 종료했기 때문에 각 S-8 문서상의 약속에 따라 발행 종료 시점에 미발행 주식을 등록에서 제외해야 합니다. 새로운 증권 등록은 없으며, 재무 결과나 가이던스도 제공되지 않습니다.

이번 제출은 절차적인 성격으로, 합병 완료를 확인하고 회사의 직원 주식 계획용 주식 잔여분을 정리하는 것입니다. 이전 Sage 공공 주주들에게는 직접적인 경제적 영향이 없으며, 합병 대가는 종결일에 결정되었을 것입니다.

Sage Therapeutics, Inc. (SAGE) a déposé un amendement post-efficace à quinze déclarations d’enregistrement Form S-8 antérieures. L’amendement déréférence toutes les actions invendues qui avaient été réservées pour émission dans le cadre de divers plans d’actions pour employés, y compris le Plan d’Incitation en Actions 2024 (16,5 millions d’actions) et plusieurs anciens programmes d’options d’achat d’actions et ESPP.

Cette action fait suite à la fusion du 31 juillet 2025 au cours de laquelle Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. a acquis Sage via sa filiale Saphire, Inc., faisant de Sage une filiale en propriété exclusive. Étant donné que Sage a mis fin à toutes les offres publiques de ses titres, elle est tenue, conformément aux engagements de chaque formulaire S-8, de retirer de l’enregistrement toutes les actions non émises à la clôture de l’offre. Aucun nouveau titre n’est enregistré, et aucun résultat financier ou prévisionnel n’est communiqué.

Le dépôt est de nature procédurale ; il confirme la finalisation de la fusion et fait le ménage dans le portefeuille d’actions liées aux plans pour employés de la société. Il n’y a pas d’impact économique direct sur les anciens actionnaires publics de Sage, dont la contrepartie de fusion aurait été fixée à la date de clôture.

Sage Therapeutics, Inc. (SAGE) hat eine Post-Effective Amendment zu fünfzehn früheren Form S-8-Registrierungserklärungen eingereicht. Die Änderung streicht alle unverkauften Aktien, die für die Ausgabe im Rahmen verschiedener Mitarbeiterbeteiligungspläne reserviert waren, darunter der Equity Incentive Plan 2024 (16,5 Millionen Aktien) und mehrere ältere Aktienoptions- und ESPP-Programme.

Diese Maßnahme folgt auf die Fusion am 31. Juli 2025, bei der Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Sage über die Tochtergesellschaft Saphire, Inc. übernommen hat, wodurch Sage eine vollständig im Besitz befindliche Tochtergesellschaft wurde. Da Sage alle öffentlichen Wertpapierangebote eingestellt hat, ist das Unternehmen verpflichtet, gemäß den Verpflichtungen in jedem S-8 alle zum Ende des Angebots nicht ausgegebenen Aktien aus der Registrierung zu entfernen. Es werden keine neuen Wertpapiere registriert und keine Finanzergebnisse oder Prognosen veröffentlicht.

Die Einreichung ist prozedural; sie bestätigt den Abschluss der Fusion und räumt den Bestand an Mitarbeiterplan-Aktien auf. Es gibt keine direkten wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen auf ehemalige öffentliche Sage-Aktionäre, deren Fusionsgegenleistung am Abschlusstag festgelegt wurde.

Positive
  • Confirms merger completion with Supernus, eliminating uncertainty about transaction close
  • Removes potential dilution from ~35 million unissued Sage employee-plan shares
Negative
  • None.

Insights

TL;DR: Purely administrative deregistration after Supernus buyout; no valuation impact.

This S-8 POS simply removes roughly 35 million unissued employee-plan shares now that Sage is a Supernus subsidiary. The amendment satisfies SEC undertakings and eliminates future equity dilution that can no longer occur. Investors in Supernus gain clarity that no legacy Sage plan shares remain outstanding. Market impact is de minimis because merger terms were fixed earlier; trading in SAGE has ceased. I view the filing as neutral and non-impactful.

Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed on July 30, 2025, the Board of Directors (the Board) of United Therapeutics Corporation (the Company) approved a share repurchase program (the Share Repurchase Program), authorizing the purchase by the Company of up to $1 billion of the Company’s common stock (Common Stock).

 

On August 1, 2025, the Company entered into two accelerated share repurchase agreements (the ASR Agreements) with Citibank, N.A. (Citi) to repurchase approximately $1 billion in the aggregate of Common Stock under the Share Repurchase Program.

 

Under the terms of the ASR Agreements, which comprise a $500 million uncollared agreement (the Uncollared ASR) and a $500 million collared agreement (the Collared ASR), the Company will make an aggregate upfront payment of $1 billion to Citi on August 4, 2025.

 

Uncollared ASR

 

Under the Uncollared ASR, which is being entered into pursuant to the Master Confirmation between the Company and Citi, dated March 25, 2024, the Company will receive an initial delivery of approximately 1,274,296 shares of Common Stock on August 4, 2025 representing approximately 75% of the total shares that would be repurchased under the Uncollared ASR, measured based on the closing price of the Common Stock on August 1, 2025.

 

The exact number of shares that the Company will ultimately repurchase pursuant to the Uncollared ASR will be determined based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Common Stock during the term of the Uncollared ASR, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Uncollared ASR. Final settlement of the Uncollared ASR is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025.

 

Collared ASR

 

Under the Collared ASR, the Company will receive an initial delivery of approximately 849,531 shares of Common Stock on August 4, 2025 representing approximately 50% of the total shares that would be repurchased under the Collared ASR (the Initial Delivery Amount), measured based on the closing price of the Common Stock on August 1, 2025. Upon completion of an agreed-upon hedging period and the subsequent determination of the minimum and maximum share amounts to be repurchased under the Collared ASR, Citi will deliver an additional number of shares to the Company equal to the difference between such minimum number of shares and the Initial Delivery Amount.

 

The exact number of shares that the Company will ultimately repurchase pursuant to the Collared ASR will be determined based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Common Stock during the term of the Collared ASR, less a discount and subject to a collar provision establishing the minimum and maximum numbers of shares to be repurchased, as well as other adjustments, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Collared ASR. Final settlement of the Collared ASR is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2026.

 

At final settlement of the ASR Agreements, the Company may be entitled to receive additional shares of Common Stock, or, in certain limited circumstances, be required to make cash payment to Citi or, if the Company elects, deliver shares to Citi.

 

The ASR Agreements contain customary terms for these types of transactions, including, but not limited to, the mechanisms used to determine the number of shares of Common Stock or, the amount of cash, that will be delivered at settlement, the required timing of delivery of the shares of Common Stock, the specific circumstances under which adjustments may be made to the transactions, the specific circumstances under which final settlement of the ASR Agreements may be accelerated or extended, the specific circumstances under which the transactions may be terminated prior to their scheduled maturity and various acknowledgements, representations and warranties made by the Company and Citi to one another.

 

The foregoing description of the ASR Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Collared ASR agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and to the Uncollared ASR agreement, which the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2024 as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
