Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On April 7, 2025, Aerovate Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Aerovate”) issued a press release titled “Aerovate Therapeutics Announces Range of Expected Cash Dividend in Connection with the Proposed Merger with Jade Biosciences.” A copy of the press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1) is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed, on October 30, 2024, Aerovate entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other matters, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Caribbean Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Aerovate, will merge with and into Jade Biosciences, Inc. (“Jade”), with Jade continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Aerovate and the surviving corporation of the merger (the “First Merger”), and Jade will merge with and into Caribbean Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Aerovate (“Merger Sub II” and together with Merger Sub I, “Merger Subs”), with Merger Sub II being the surviving entity of the merger (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in connection with the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), which remains subject to approval of Aerovate’s stockholders and other closing conditions, Aerovate expects to declare a cash dividend to the pre-Merger Aerovate stockholders (the “Cash Dividend”). Aerovate’s stockholders will consider and vote upon approval of the Merger at the special meeting of Aerovate stockholders scheduled for 9:00 a.m. ET on April 16, 2025.
Based on Aerovate’s estimated Parent Net Cash Calculation (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as of April 7, 2025, Aerovate expects to declare the Cash Dividend in the range of $67.6 – 69.6 million in the aggregate (the “Dividend Range”). As of April 4, 2025, 28,985,019 shares of Aerovate’s common stock are outstanding.
Aerovate does not have, and does not expect to have, current or accumulated earnings and profits as described in Section 312 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, the Cash Dividend is expected to be characterized as a return of capital and reported as a non-dividend distribution. Official declaration of the Cash Dividend is subject to approval of the Aerovate board of directors and is expected to be announced later this month. Following approval, the Cash Dividend will be paid in connection with the Closing, which the parties expect to occur no later than April 30, 2025.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits filed or furnished herewith, other than purely historical information, may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including for purposes of the “safe harbor” provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, concerning Aerovate, Jade, the proposed pre-closing financing and the proposed merger between Aerovate and Jade (collectively, the “Proposed Transactions”) and other matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: expectations regarding the Dividend Range; expectations related to Aerovate’s payment of the Cash Dividend in connection with the Proposed Transactions, including the approval of the Aerovate board of directors, anticipated timing and tax implications; the number of shares of Aerovate common stock that may be outstanding as of the record date; and expectations related to anticipated timing of the Closing and satisfaction (or waiver) of closing conditions under the Merger Agreement, including approval of the Merger by Aerovate’s stockholders. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “opportunity,” “potential,” “milestones,” “pipeline,” “can,” “goal,” “strategy,” “target,” “anticipate,” “achieve,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “plan,” “possible,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions (including the negatives of these terms or variations of them) may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects. There can be no assurance that
future developments affecting Aerovate, Jade or the Proposed Transactions or the Cash Dividend will be those that have been anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond Aerovate’s control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results, the Cash Dividend or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk that the conditions to the closing or consummation of the Proposed Transactions are not satisfied, including Aerovate’s failure to obtain stockholder approval for the proposed merger; the risk that the proposed pre-closing financing is not completed in a timely manner or at all; uncertainties as to the timing of the consummation of the Proposed Transactions and the ability of each of Aerovate and Jade to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Proposed Transactions; risks related to Aerovate’s continued listing on Nasdaq until closing of the Proposed Transactions and the combined company’s ability to remain listed following the Proposed Transactions; risks related to Aerovate’s and Jade’s ability to correctly estimate their respective operating expenses and expenses associated with the Proposed Transactions, as applicable, as well as uncertainties regarding the impact any delay in the closing of any of the Proposed Transactions would have on the anticipated cash resources of the resulting combined company upon closing and other events and unanticipated spending and costs that could reduce the combined company’s cash resources; the failure or delay in obtaining required approvals from any governmental or quasi-governmental entity necessary to consummate the Proposed Transactions; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the business combination between Aerovate and Jade; costs related to the merger; as a result of adjustments to the exchange ratio, Jade stockholders and Aerovate stockholders could own more or less of the combined company than is currently anticipated; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Aerovate, Jade or any of their respective directors or officers related to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby; unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the Proposed Transactions; potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the Proposed Transactions; the risk that Aerovate stockholders receive more or less of the cash dividend than is currently anticipated; and those uncertainties and factors more fully described in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”),including reports filed on Form 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, in other filings that Aerovate makes and will make with the SEC in connection with the proposed Merger, including the proxy statement/prospectus described below under “Important Additional Information About the Proposed Transaction Filed with the SEC,” as well as discussions of potential risks, uncertainties, and other important factors included in other filings by Aerovate from time to time, any risk factors related to Aerovate or Jade made available to you in connection with the Proposed Transactions, as well as risk factors associated with companies, such as Jade, that operate in the biopharma industry. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of Aerovate’s or Jade’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits filed or furnished herewith should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits filed or furnished herewith, which speak only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein. Neither Aerovate nor Jade undertakes or accepts any duty to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements. This Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits filed or furnished herewith do not purport to summarize all of the conditions, risks and other attributes of an investment in Aerovate or Jade.
No Offer or Solicitation
This Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits filed or furnished herewith is not intended to and does not constitute (i) a solicitation of a proxy, consent or approval with respect to any securities or in respect of the Proposed Transactions between Aerovate and Jade or (ii) an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to subscribe for or buy or an invitation to purchase or subscribe for any securities pursuant to the Proposed Transactions or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law.
