5.1 Full Description of Material Change

On July 15, 2022, the Company announced its intention to become a Delaware corporation (“New Zymeworks”), subject to receipt of necessary shareholder, stock exchange, and court approvals.

Zymeworks believes that becoming a Delaware corporation (the “Redomicile”) will enhance long-term value for shareholders, help reduce certain administrative costs and complexities related to its future operations, including future monetization and partnering opportunities for its R&D programs, and better position the Company for future growth. The Company also believes that becoming a Delaware corporation may provide greater opportunities to expand its institutional investor base and may enable New Zymeworks to be eligible for inclusion in certain leading indices, such as the Russell and S&P indices, providing opportunities to be more closely aligned with its peers in the biotechnology sector.

Zymeworks anticipates that the Redomicile will conclude in the fourth quarter of 2022, pending necessary shareholder, stock exchange, and court approval. Once the Redomicile is complete, New Zymeworks will continue under the current Zymeworks name and brand, and will continue to maintain significant operations in both Canada and the United States. In addition, the Company is currently planning to expand its operations to Europe and Asia.

To effect the Redomicile, Zymeworks will conduct a share exchange, pursuant to which holders of common shares of Zymeworks (“Zymeworks Shares”) will exchange their Zymeworks Shares for shares of common stock of New Zymeworks or, at their election with respect to all or a portion of their Zymeworks Shares and subject to applicable eligibility criteria and an overall cap, exchangeable shares in the capital of a newly formed indirect subsidiary of New Zymeworks. A special meeting of Zymeworks securityholders will be held to approve the Redomicile. The Redomicile requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of votes cast at the special meeting, as well as approvals by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and the Supreme Court of British Columbia. A preliminary proxy statement/prospectus on Form S-4 will be filed by New Zymeworks with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities.

It is expected that, immediately prior to the effective time of the Redomicile, shares of common stock of New Zymeworks will be listed on the NYSE under Zymeworks’ current ticker symbol: “ZYME”.
