PROXY STATEMENT SUPPLEMENT
Dated: May 21, 2026
The following disclosures in this proxy supplement (the “Supplement”) supplement, and should be read in conjunction with, the disclosures contained in the definitive proxy statement (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”) of Sensei Biotherapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 27, 2026, which in turn should be read in its entirety. The purpose of the Supplement is to include the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, which presents the historical consolidated financial position of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, adjusted to give effect to the conversion of the shares of Series B non-voting convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) into shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“common stock”). The shares of Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert into an aggregate of 24,937,493 shares of common stock upon the third business day following receipt of approval of the Required Company Stockholder Matters in accordance with Nasdaq listing rules up to the beneficial ownership limitations set by each holder; provided that such beneficial ownership limitations may be waived by each holder of Series B Preferred Stock at any time following the approval by Nasdaq of the Nasdaq Listing Application and approval of the Required Company Stockholder Matters. To the extent the information set forth herein differs from or updates information contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement, the information set forth herein shall supersede or supplement the information in the Definitive Proxy Statement. All other information in the Definitive Proxy Statement remains unchanged. Unless otherwise specified, page and section references listed below are references to pages and sections, respectively, in the Definitive Proxy Statement, not this Supplement. Terms used herein, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement.
UPDATES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The supplemental unaudited pro forma condensed financial information set forth below, including the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the Annex A contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement and the financial statements of the Company and the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, filed with the SEC on May 15, 2026. Such unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of the Company’s financial condition following the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock for several reasons. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information has been derived from the historical unaudited financial statements of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding the Company after giving effect to the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. The information upon which these adjustments and assumptions have been made is preliminary, and these kinds of adjustments and assumptions are difficult to make with accuracy. Moreover, the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information does not reflect all costs that are expected to be incurred by the Company in connection with the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. As a result, the actual financial condition of the Company following the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock may not be consistent with, or evident from, the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information. The assumptions used in preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect the Company’s financial condition following the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.
The Board of Directors’ recommendation with respect to each proposal set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement remains unchanged.
SENSEI BIOTHERAPEUTICS, INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On February 17, 2026, Sensei Biotherapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired Faeth Holdings Therapeutics, Inc. (“Faeth HoldCo”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Faeth Therapeutics, LLC (“Faeth Subsidiary” and, together with Faeth HoldCo, “Faeth Therapeutics” or “Faeth”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of February 17, 2026, by and among the Company, its merger subsidiaries, Faeth HoldCo and Faeth Subsidiary (such transaction, the “Acquisition”).
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company issued to the stockholders of Faeth an aggregate of 10,497.0980 shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), representing 10,497,098 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), on an as-converted-to-common basis and without giving effect to any beneficial ownership limitations.
Concurrently with the acquisition of Faeth Therapeutics, on February 17, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with new and returning investors to raise $200.0 million of gross proceeds in which investors were issued an aggregate of 14,440.395 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or 14,440,395 on an as-converted-to-common basis and without giving effect to any beneficial ownership limitations, (the “PIPE Securities”) at a price of $13,850 per share, or $13.85 per share on an as-converted-to-common basis, (collectively, the “Financing”). The Financing closed on February 20, 2026.
Subject to the receipt of stockholder approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters (as defined in the Merger Agreement), each share of Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert into 1,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations established by each holder.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial information presents the historical consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company, adjusted to give effect to the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into common stock (the “Conversion”) that will automatically occur three business days subsequent to the expected affirmative vote for stockholder approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters. The vote for stockholder approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters is scheduled to occur on June 10, 2026. The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet gives pro forma effect to the Conversion as if it had been consummated on March 31, 2026. The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 gives effect to the Conversion as if it had occurred on January 1, 2026.
The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is based on the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary, subject to further revision as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information, including the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 15, 2026.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET
| Note 1. | Transaction accounting adjustments for the Conversion |
| A. | Reflects the expected conversion of 24,434.92 shares of Series B Preferred Stock into 24,434,920 shares of common stock that will automatically occur three business days subsequent to the expected affirmative vote for the Conversion. The aforementioned vote is scheduled to occur on June 10, 2026. The transaction accounting adjustments reflecting the Conversion do not reflect the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are not expected to convert due to certain beneficial ownership limitations established by each holder based solely on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the holders thereof. The number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that ultimately convert into shares of common stock may be more or less than our expectations. |
