Intellia Therapeutics, Inc.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. On September 4, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Intellia”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders from time to time party thereto (“Lenders”), and OrbiMed Royalty & Credit Opportunities V, LP, as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”). OrbiMed Royalty & Credit Opportunities IV, LP, and OrbiMed Royalty & Credit Opportunities V, LP, are the initial Lenders. The Credit Agreement provides the Company with a five-year senior secured credit facility of up to $400 million (the “Credit Facility”), available in the following tranches: (1) $75 million drawn on the Closing Date, (2) a potential additional $75 million draw at the Company’s option upon the approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) of the Company’s biologics license application (“BLA”) for lonvoguran ziclumeran (“lonvo-z”) prior to a certain date, (3) three potential additional $40 million draws at the Company’s option upon achieving certain revenue targets for lonvo-z prior to certain dates, (4) a potential additional $30 million draw at the Company’s option upon achieving an equity fundraising target prior to a certain date, and (5) an uncommitted additional incremental facility up to $100 million subject to mutual agreement among the Company and the Lenders. The proceeds of the Credit Facility will be used for the working capital needs and general corporate purposes of the Company. The Credit Facility matures on September 4, 2031 (the “Maturity Date”), and the entire then-outstanding principal amount of the loans will be due on the Maturity Date. Loans outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest, payable monthly, at a rate per annum equal to (1) the greater of (a) 3.00% or (b) the one-month SOFR rate applicable to such period plus (2) an applicable margin of 6.15%. In addition, the Company is required to pay certain customary commitment, administrative, undrawn amount and facility fees in connection with the Credit Facility. The Company may elect to prepay all or any portion of the amounts owed prior to the Maturity Date subject to a repayment premium or exit fee, as applicable, as well as from accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid. The Credit Facility is also subject to customary mandatory prepayments with the proceeds of indebtedness and certain asset sales and casualty events. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured on a first-priority basis, subject to certain exceptions, by security interests in substantially all assets of the Company, including its intellectual property. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including, without limitation, (i) financial covenants to (1) maintain liquidity of at least $50 million in controlled accounts until the FDA approves the BLA for lonvo-z and (2) either achieve certain revenue targets, maintain certain market capitalization thresholds or maintain the outstanding loan principal in cash equivalents in controlled accounts, and (ii) negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, make investments (including acquisitions), effectuate mergers or consolidations, engage in asset sales and licensing transactions, pay dividends, terminate or modify certain material agreements, pay subordinated indebtedness, and undertake other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The exceptions to incurring additional indebtedness and granting liens include an exception allowing the Company to enter synthetic royalty transactions, subject to certain restrictions in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains certain events of default after which loans under the Credit Facility may be due and payable immediately, including payment defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, cross-defaults to certain other agreements, judgments against the Company and its subsidiaries, and change of control. The above description of the Credit Agreement and Credit Facility is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2026.
