On September 14, 2022, IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Jefferies LLC, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 7,619,048 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), to the Underwriters (the “Offering”). The price to the public in this offering is $10.50 per Share. The Underwriters have agreed to purchase the Shares from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $9.87 per Share. In addition, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters the option, for 30 days, to purchase up to 1,142,857 additional shares of Common Stock at the public offering price (the “Underwriters’ Option”).
The Offering was made under a prospectus supplement and related prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (Registration No. 333-254606).
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be required to make because of such liabilities.
