Kymera is selling 2,250,495 shares of common stock and, in lieu of common stock to certain investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase 8,640,594 shares of common stock in the offering. The shares of common stock are being sold at a public offering price of $25.25 per share and the pre-funded warrants are being sold at a public offering price of $25.2499 per pre-funded warrants, which represents the per share public offering price of each share of common stock less the $0.0001 per share exercise price for each pre-funded warrant.

In addition, Kymera has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $41.25 million of shares of its common stock at the public offering price per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions.

Kymera intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to continue to advance its pipeline of preclinical and clinical degrader programs that are designed to address large patient populations with significant need and clear commercial opportunity, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Kymera may also use a portion of the net proceeds to in-license, acquire or invest in complementary businesses or technologies to continue to build its pipeline, research and development capabilities and its intellectual property position.
