Item 1.01                                           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On March 28, 2019, Blueprint Medicines Corporation  (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Cowen and Company, LLC, as representatives of the underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 4,054,054 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price to the public of $74.00 per share (the “Offering Price”). The Company has also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 608,108 shares of Common Stock at the Offering Price. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, the Company expects to receive net proceeds from the Offering of approximately $284.5 million (or approximately $327.2 million if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares).

 

The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s effective automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-216573), as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated March 28, 2019, filed on March 29, 2019. The Offering is expected to close on or about April 2, 2019, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
