Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Relay Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) previously entered into a common stock sales agreement (the “Original Sales Agreement”), dated August 6, 2024, with TD Securities (USA) LLC (“TD Cowen” or the “Sales Agent”), relating to shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000,000, through TD Cowen. Pursuant to the Original Sales Agreement, the sale and issuance of the shares under the Original Sales Agreement were made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-281308) filed on August 6, 2024 (the “Existing Registration Statement”) and a prospectus supplement filed on August 6, 2024 (together with the Existing Registration Statement, the “Existing Prospectus”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
On August 6, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment to the Original Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement Amendment,” and collectively with the Original Sales Agreement, the “Sales Agreement”) to increase the size of the at-the-market offering program from $250,000,000 to $462,978,049. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company has sold approximately $162,978,049 of shares of Common Stock under the Sales Agreement pursuant to the Existing Prospectus. On August 6, 2026, the Company will file a prospectus supplement (the “New Prospectus Supplement”) to the Company’s Existing Registration Statement. The New Prospectus Supplement covers the offer and sale of up to $212,978,049 of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) from time to time through TD Cowen, acting as the Company’s sales agent.
Upon delivery of a placement notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, sales of the shares of Common Stock under the Sales Agreement may be made in negotiated transactions, including block trades or block sales, or by any method permitted by law to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of shares of Common Stock under the Sales Agreement.
Under the Sales Agreement, the Company or TD Cowen may suspend the offering of shares being made through the Sales Agent, upon proper written notice to the other party. TD Cowen will act as sales agent and has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of the Nasdaq Global Market to sell shares of Common Stock up to the number or amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of, a placement notice delivered pursuant to the Sales Agreement.
The Company will continue to pay TD Cowen compensation for its services in cash up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement. The Company also agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to TD Cowen with respect to certain liabilities.
TD Cowen and/or its affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services to the Company and/or its affiliates, for which services they have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees.
The foregoing description of the material terms of the Sales Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Original Sales Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 1.2 to the Existing Registration Statement, which is incorporated herein by reference, and the Sales Agreement Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. Goodwin Procter LLP, counsel to the Company, has issued a legal opinion relating to the Additional Shares being offered pursuant to the New Prospectus Supplement. A copy of such legal opinion, including the consent included therein, is attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Re: Securities Registered under Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR
We have acted as counsel to you in connection with your filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-281308) (as amended or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”) filed on August 6, 2024 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the registration of the offering by Relay Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) of any combination of securities of the types specified therein. The Registration Statement became automatically effective on August 6, 2024. Reference is made to our opinion letter dated August 6, 2024 and included as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. We are delivering this supplemental opinion letter in connection with the prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) filed on August 6, 2026 by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act. The Prospectus Supplement relates to the offering by the Company of up to $212,978,049 in shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) covered by the Registration Statement. The Shares are being offered and sold by the sales agent named in, and pursuant to, the sales agreement between the Company and such sales agent.
We have reviewed such documents and made such examination of law as we have deemed appropriate to give the opinion set forth below. We have relied, without independent verification, on certificates of public officials and, as to matters of fact material to the opinion set forth below, on certificates of officers of the Company.
For purposes of the opinion set forth below, we have assumed that the Shares are issued for a price per share equal to or greater than the minimum price authorized by the Company’s board of directors prior to the date hereof (the “Minimum Price”) and that no event occurs that causes the number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance by the Company to be less than the number of then unissued Shares that may be issued for the Minimum Price.
For purposes of the opinion set forth below, we refer to the following as “Future Approval and Issuance”: (a) the approval by the Company’s board of directors (or a duly authorized committee of the board of directors) of the issuance of the Shares (the “Approval”) and (b) the issuance of the Shares in accordance with the Approval and the receipt by the Company of the consideration (which shall not be less than the par value of such Shares) to be paid in accordance with the Approval.
The opinion set forth below is limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, upon Future Approval and Issuance, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
This opinion is being furnished to you for submission to the Commission as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the Shares (the “Current Report”), which is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Current Report and its incorporation by reference and the reference to our firm in that report. In giving our consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
Very truly yours,

Relay Therapeutics Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Corporate Updates
Selected zovegalisib plus atirmociclib as go-forward triplet regimen for 1L breast cancer; Phase 3 1L trial in endocrine-sensitive patients expected to initiate in early 2027, subject to regulatory feedback
Presented initial positive clinical data from Phase 1/2 ReInspire trial in vascular anomalies
at the ISSVA World Congress 2026 and opened expansion cohorts
Continued execution of ongoing Phase 3 ReDiscover-2 trial in 2L breast cancer
Approximately $911 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments at end of Q2 2026
Cambridge, Mass. – August 6, 2026 – Relay Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RLAY), a clinical-stage, small molecule precision medicine company developing potentially life-changing therapies for patients living with cancer and genetic disease, today reported second quarter 2026 financial results and corporate updates.
“The second quarter marked continued momentum across our zovegalisib program, with advances in our frontline breast cancer development strategy and the presentation of initial clinical data at ISSVA 2026 for zovegalisib in patients with vascular anomalies,” said Sanjiv Patel, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Relay Therapeutics. “This progress, including the ongoing Phase 3 trial in second-line breast cancer and the triplet combination work to support development in frontline breast cancer, reinforces the promise of mutant-selective PI3Kα inhibition and strengthens our confidence in zovegalisib's potential across multiple patient populations. Supported by a strong cash position with expected runway into 2029, we continue to focus on the execution of several clinical and regulatory milestones expected for zovegalisib this year as we work to develop potentially life-changing therapies for patients living with cancer and genetic disease.”

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments: As of June 30, 2026, cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $910.9 million, as compared to $642.1 million as of March 31, 2026. The increase in cash is primarily due to net proceeds from the underwritten follow-on public offering in May 2026. The company expects its current cash, cash equivalents, and investments will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2029.
Revenue: Revenue was $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2025. The revenue recognized in each period was under the company's Exclusive License Agreement with Elevar Therapeutics, Inc.
R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $76.5 million for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $63.9 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase of $12.6 million was primarily due to increases in costs across ongoing clinical trials for zovegalisib, partially offset by the impact from strategic choices made to streamline the research organization prior to 2026.
G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $14.7 million for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $13.6 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase of $1.1 million was primarily due to increased legal expenses, offset by decreases in employee compensation costs, including stock compensation expense.
Net Loss: Net loss was $83.7 million for the second quarter of 2026, or a net loss per share of $0.41, as compared to a net loss of $70.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, or a net loss per share of $0.41.
About Zovegalisib
Zovegalisib is the lead program in Relay Therapeutics’ efforts to discover and develop mutant-selective inhibitors of PI3Kα, the most frequently mutated kinase in all cancers and all vascular anomalies. Zovegalisib has the potential, if approved, to address a significant portion of the approximately 140,000 patients with HR+/HER2- breast cancer with a PI3Kα mutation and the estimated 170,000 patients with vascular anomalies driven by a PI3Kα mutation per year in the United States, one of the largest patient populations for a precision medicine.
Traditionally, the development of PI3Kα inhibitors has focused on the active, or orthosteric, site. The therapeutic index of orthosteric inhibitors is limited by the lack of clinically meaningful selectivity for mutant versus wild-type (WT) PI3Kα and off-isoform activity. Toxicity related to inhibition of WT PI3Kα and other PI3K isoforms results in sub-optimal inhibition of mutant PI3Kα with reductions in dose intensity and frequent discontinuation. The Dynamo® platform enabled the discovery of zovegalisib, the first known allosteric, pan-mutant, and isoform-selective PI3Kα inhibitor, designed to overcome these limitations. Relay Therapeutics solved the full-length cryo-EM structure of PI3Kα, performed computational long time-scale molecular dynamic simulations to elucidate conformational differences between WT and mutant PI3Kα, and leveraged these insights to support the design of zovegalisib. Zovegalisib is currently being evaluated in multiple metastatic breast cancer studies and a Phase 1/2 study designed to treat patients with PIK3CA (PI3Kα) mutation-driven vascular anomalies. For more information on zovegalisib, please visit here.
