Item 8.01. Other Events.
On November 1, 2023,
Revolution Medicines issued a press release to announce that Revolution Medicines and EQRx have determined the final exchange ratio in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the First Merger, each share of common stock,
par value $0.0001 per share, of EQRx (EQRx Common Stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will be converted into the right to receive 0.1112 of a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of
Revolution Medicines (Revolution Medicines Common Stock). No fractional shares of Revolution Medicines Common Stock will be issued in the Mergers, and EQRx stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares as part of the
merger consideration, as specified in the Merger Agreement.
The final exchange ratio based on the actual determination date of October 31, 2023, is
higher than the assumed exchange ratio of 0.0734 that was set out for illustrative purposes in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, dated September 29, 2023, that was filed by Revolution Medicines with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) and previously distributed to Revolution Medicines and EQRx stockholders. If the Mergers are completed pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Revolution Medicines expects to issue approximately 55 million shares of
Revolution Medicines Common Stock (excluding warrants and earn-out shares) in connection with the Mergers. The Company estimates that the Mergers will add approximately $1.1 billion in net cash proceeds, after
estimated post-closing EQRx wind-down and transition costs, or approximately $20 per share of Revolution Medicines Common Stock issued in connection with the Mergers.
