Exchange Transaction
On December 10, 2025, Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into separate, privately negotiated exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders of its 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Existing Convertible Notes”), including the Michael A. Chambers Living Trust, an entity affiliated with Michael Chambers, a member of the Company’s board of directors. Under the terms of the Exchange Agreements, the holders party thereto have agreed to exchange with the Company approximately $291.4 million in aggregate principal amount of Existing Convertible Notes held by them for (i) approximately $291.4 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the “New Convertible Notes”), which is equal to $1,000 of New Convertible Notes per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Convertible Notes exchanged, and (ii) an aggregate of approximately $31.6 million in cash, which is equal to approximately $108.50 per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Convertible Notes exchanged and comprised of accrued and unpaid interest on $1,000 principal amount of Existing Convertible Notes, plus $120.17, less deemed accrued and unpaid interest on $1,000 principal amount of New Convertible Notes from August 28, 2025 (such exchanges, collectively, the “Exchange”).
The New Convertible Notes will constitute “additional Notes” under the Indenture, dated as of August 28, 2025 between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “New Convertible Notes Indenture”), governing the Company’s 4.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 and will be issued pursuant to the terms thereof. The New Convertible Notes will be issued as part of the same series as the approximately $602 million of 4.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 originally issued in August 2025. Following the closing of the Exchange, the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 will total $893.4 million.
The foregoing description of the New Convertible Notes Indenture and the New Convertible Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the New Convertible Notes Indenture and form of Note, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 29, 2025 and are incorporated herein by reference.
The Exchange is expected to close on or about December 18, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The issuance of the New Convertible Notes will occur pursuant to the New Convertible Notes Indenture and the first supplemental indenture thereto, to be dated on or around December 18, 2025, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee.
The issuance of the New Convertible Notes under the Exchange Agreements is being made in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company relied on this exemption from registration based, in part, on representations made by the holders of the Existing Convertible Notes party to the Exchange Agreements. The New Convertible Notes will be issued only to investors that qualified as institutional “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act) and/or “qualified institutional buyers” (as such term is defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act).
The New Convertible Notes and the shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, issuable upon conversion thereof, if any, have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such other jurisdictions.
| Item 8.01 | Other Events |
On December 11, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the Exchange. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Sarepta Therapeutics Announces Refinancing of Approximately $291 Million of 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., December 11, 2025 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRPT), the leader in precision genetic medicine for rare diseases, today announced that it has entered into separate, privately negotiated exchange agreements with a limited number of holders of its 1.25% convertible senior notes due 2027 (the “Existing Convertible Notes”). Pursuant to the exchange agreements, the Company will exchange approximately $291.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the Existing Convertible Notes for approximately $291.4 million in aggregate principal amount of new 4.875% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “New Convertible Notes”) and approximately $31.6 million in cash (such exchanges, collectively, the “Exchange”), in each case pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The Exchange is expected to close on or about December 18, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The issuance of the New Convertible Notes will occur pursuant to the indenture related to the New Convertible Notes, dated as of August 28, 2025, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, and the first supplemental indenture thereto. The New Convertible Notes will be issued as part of the same series as the approximately $602 million of 4.875% convertible senior notes due 2030 originally issued in August 2025, and following the closing of the Exchange, the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 will total $893.4 million. Following the closing of the Exchange, approximately $158.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the Existing Convertible Notes will remain outstanding with terms unchanged.
The offer and sale of the New Convertible Notes, including the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), issuable upon conversion of the New Convertible Notes, if any, are not being registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. The New Convertible Notes and Common Stock, including Common Stock issuable upon conversion, if any, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
In connection with the Exchange, the Company has been advised that the placement agent intends to purchase approximately 691,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in privately negotiated transactions from certain investors participating in the Exchange through a financial intermediary at a discount to the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on December 10, 2025. Such purchases by the placement agent of the Company’s common stock could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the common stock, the New Convertible Notes or the Existing Convertible Notes.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities, in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of such jurisdiction.
