RA Capital Management and related parties report owning 34,225,506 ordinary shares of Wave Life Sciences Ltd., representing 17.1% of the company’s ordinary shares outstanding. Their holdings include shares held by RA Capital Healthcare Fund, pre-funded warrants that are immediately exercisable, and options held by Peter Kolchinsky for RA Capital’s benefit.
The group reports shared voting and dispositive power over these securities and disclaims beneficial ownership beyond Section 13(d) reporting purposes. The amendment also notes that Wave Life Sciences Ltd. entered into an Implementation Agreement for a Singapore-law Scheme of Arrangement to redomicile into a new Delaware corporation, Wave Life Sciences, Inc., with a one-for-one share exchange, subject to shareholder and Singapore court approval.
Wave Life Sciences Ltd. is asking shareholders to approve a Scheme of Arrangement to redomicile the parent from Singapore to a newly formed Delaware corporation, Wave Life Sciences, Inc. under an Implementation Agreement dated April 15, 2026. Under the Scheme, each Wave-Singapore ordinary share will be exchanged one-for-one for Wave-Delaware common stock, which the company intends to list on Nasdaq under the symbol WVE. The Scheme requires shareholder approval (a majority in number and at least 75% of votes cast by value) and sanction by the Singapore High Court; if approved and conditions satisfied, the court order will be lodged with ACRA and the Scheme will become effective. The board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the Wave Redomiciliation Proposal. The proxy statement discusses differences in shareholder rights under Delaware law, potential tax and stamp duty considerations (including a Singapore stamp duty rate of 0.2%), and expected U.S. GAAP accounting as a common-control reorganization.
Wave Life Sciences Ltd. plans to move its parent company domicile from Singapore to Delaware through a court-approved redomiciliation. Under a Singapore law scheme of arrangement, each existing Wave-Singapore ordinary share will be exchanged on a one-for-one basis for common stock of a new Delaware parent, Wave Life Sciences, Inc.
The new Delaware parent is expected to become the group’s ultimate holding company in mid-2026, subject to shareholder and Singapore High Court approvals, while continuing to operate the business substantially as before. The stock will keep trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol WVE, with reporting in U.S. dollars under U.S. GAAP, and the redomiciliation is expected to be tax-free to U.S. shareholders.
