Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On March 3, 2026, Sana Biotechnology, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The information in this Item 2.02, including the attached Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the 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 into any filing made by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 3, 2026, the Company entered into an amended and restated sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with TD Securities (USA) LLC (“TD Cowen”) to sell shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), from time to time, through an “at the market offering” program under which TD Cowen will act as sales agent.
The Sales Agreement amends and restates the prior sales agreement, dated May 8, 2025, between the Company and TD Cowen (the “Prior Sales Agreement”). As of the entry into the Sales Agreement, the Company had sold an aggregate of approximately 11.3 million shares of Common Stock under the Prior Sales Agreement for net proceeds of approximately $45.8 million, resulting in an unsold aggregate offering price of approximately $71.6 million. Following the entry into the Sales Agreement, the Company may not offer or sell any additional shares of Common Stock under the Prior Sales Agreement or the related prospectus supplement, dated May 8, 2025.
Under the Sales Agreement, the Company will set the parameters for the sale of shares of Common Stock, including the number or dollar amount of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number or dollar amount of shares that may be sold in any one trading day, and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, TD Cowen may sell the shares in negotiated transactions, including block trades or block sales, or by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act, including without limitation sales made through the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other trading market for the Common Stock, or by any method permitted by law. TD Cowen has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts in conducting such sales activities consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, applicable state and federal laws, rules, and regulations, and the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. As specified in the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agreement may be terminated by the Company upon written notice to TD Cowen for any reason or by TD Cowen upon written notice to the Company for any reason or at any time under certain circumstances, including in the event of a material adverse change in the Company, subject to the terms of the Sales Agreement.
The Sales Agreement provides that TD Cowen will be entitled to compensation for its services of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares of Common Stock through TD Cowen under the Sales Agreement. The Company has no obligation to sell any shares under the Sales Agreement, and may at any time suspend sales of shares under the Sales Agreement. The Sales Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and agreements by the Company, indemnification obligations of the Company and TD Cowen, other obligations of the parties, and termination provisions.
On March 3, 2026, the Company will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3, including a prospectus supplement having an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million, relating to the offer and sale of shares of its Common Stock under the Sales Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Current Report”) and incorporated herein by reference.
This Current Report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the shares of Common Stock discussed herein, nor shall there be any sale of such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Therefore, the Company confirms its agreement with TD Cowen as follows:
The Company has filed, or will file, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), with the Commission an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3, including a base prospectus, relating to certain securities, including the Common Stock, to be issued from time to time by the Company, and which incorporates by reference documents that the Company has filed or will file in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”). The Company has prepared a prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Placement Shares (the “ATM Prospectus Supplement”) to the base prospectus included as part of such registration statement, and shall, if necessary, prepare additional prospectus supplements specifically relating to the Placement Shares (each a “Prospectus Supplement”) to the base prospectus or ATM Prospectus Supplement included as part of such registration statement. The Company may file one or more additional
registration statements from time to time that will contain a base prospectus and related prospectus or prospectus supplement, if applicable (which prospectus or prospectus supplement shall also be deemed an “ATM Prospectus Supplement” hereunder), with respect to the Placement Shares. The Company shall furnish to TD Cowen, for use by TD Cowen, copies of the prospectus included as part of such registration statement(s), as supplemented by the ATM Prospectus Supplement relating to the Placement Shares.

For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval system or any successor thereto (collectively, “EDGAR”).

Exhibit 99.1
Sana Biotechnology Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results and Business Updates
Shared 12-month clinical results of ongoing UP421 type 1 diabetes study showing that hypoimmune-modified pancreatic islet cells transplanted without immunosuppression are safe and well-tolerated, evade detection by the immune system, and continue to function one year post-transplant
New England Journal of Medicine published positive 12-week clinical results of the UP421 type 1 diabetes study
Incorporating the tested hypoimmune technology to develop SC451, a hypoimmune-modified, stem cell-derived therapy, as a one-time treatment for patients with type 1 diabetes, with a goal of normal blood glucose, with no insulin and no immunosuppression
Made significant progress with SC451 across manufacturing, regulatory, and clinical trial preparedness, including the non-clinical testing plan and manufacture of the master cell bank
Expect to file investigational new drug application (IND) for SC451 in type 1 diabetes and begin Phase 1 trial as early as this year
Expect to generate first-in-human data in blood cancers as early as this year for the next-generation in vivo CAR T product candidate, SG293, a CD8-targeted fusosome that delivers a CD19-directed CAR
Demonstrated deep B-cell depletion and immune reset with a single treatment in non-human primates with surrogate SG293
Raised aggregate gross proceeds of $133.7 million from sales of common stock through Sana’s at the market offering facility (ATM) and equity financing in 2025
Q4 2025 cash position of $138.4 million and expected cash runway into late 2026
SEATTLE — March 3, 2026 — Sana Biotechnology, Inc. (NASDAQ: SANA), a company focused on creating and delivering engineered cells as medicines, today reported financial results and business highlights for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.
“Meaningful scientific and operational progress in 2025 has positioned us well to generate human proof-of-concept data over the next 12-18 months for SC451 in type 1 diabetes and SG293 in blood cancers,” said Steve Harr, Sana’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Clinical data for UP421, a study which is now out beyond a year, provide the first known example of transplanting an allogeneic cell therapy for the treatment of type 1 diabetes without any immunosuppression. These results, when combined with progress in the field of transplanting pancreatic islets, make us optimistic that SC451, which incorporates the same hypoimmune gene edits into a more scalable manufacturing platform, can lead to a functional cure for people with type 1 diabetes, meaning normal blood glucose, no more insulin injections, and no immunosuppression. Moving to the fusogen platform, we made improvements to our in vivo CAR T platform with our next-generation SG293 candidate, offering the potential for a simple, one-time, off-the-shelf treatment without the use of conditioning chemotherapy for the treatment of B cell cancers and B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. We look forward to beginning clinical trials for both of these therapies this year. With two powerful platforms advancing in parallel, we look to drive meaningful clinical benefit for patients.”
Corporate Highlights
Published positive results from an investigator-sponsored, first-in-human study transplanting UP421, an allogeneic primary islet cell therapy engineered with hypoimmune platform (HIP) technology, into a patient with type 1 diabetes without the use of any immunosuppression.
Advancing our focused pipeline across two platforms:
Published preclinical data in Nature Biotechnology demonstrating potent in vivo gene editing of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the bone marrow with systemic delivery in preclinical murine models using fusogen technology:
Raised aggregate gross proceeds of $133.7 million from sales of common stock through Sana’s at-the-market offering facility (ATM) and equity financing in 2025; expected cash runway into late 2026.
Strengthened leadership with the appointment of new Chief Financial Officer

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), Sana uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its business. Sana’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding Sana’s financial performance and potential future results, as well as providing comparability to peer companies and period over period. In particular, Sana’s management utilizes non-GAAP operating cash burn, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense, and non-GAAP net loss and net loss per share. Sana believes the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides management and investors greater visibility into the company’s actual ongoing costs to operate its business, including actual research and development costs unaffected by non-cash valuation changes and certain one-time expenses for acquiring technology, as well as facilitating a more meaningful comparison of period-to-period activity. Sana excludes these items because they are highly variable from period to period and, in respect of the non-cash expenses, provide investors with insight into the actual cash investment in the development of its therapeutic programs and platform technologies.
These are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with Sana’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures differ from GAAP measures with the same captions, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies, and do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting. Sana’s management uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage, and evaluate Sana’s business and make operating decisions. In addition, Sana’s management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because they enhance the ability of investors to compare Sana’s results from period to period and allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics Sana uses in making operating decisions. The following are reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures:
