PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

The following highlights information about BridgeBio and our business contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus. It is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in any of our securities. You should carefully read this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus together with the more detailed information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus. Investors should carefully consider the information set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, including those described in documents incorporated by reference herein. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this prospectus supplement to “BridgeBio,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

We are a team of experienced drug discoverers, developers, and innovators working to create life-altering medicines that target well-characterized genetic diseases at their source. We founded BridgeBio in 2015 to identify and advance transformative medicines to treat patients who suffer from Mendelian diseases, which are diseases that arise from defects in a single gene, and cancers with clear genetic drivers. Our pipeline of over 20 development programs includes product candidates ranging from early discovery to late-stage development. Several of our programs target indications that we believe present the potential for our product candidate, if approved, to target portions of market opportunities of at least $1.0 billion in annual sales.

We focus on genetic diseases because they exist at the intersection of high unmet patient need and tractable biology. Our approach is to translate research pioneered at academic laboratories and leading medical institutions into products that we hope will ultimately reach patients. We are able to realize this opportunity through a confluence of scientific advances: (i) identification of the genetic underpinnings of disease as more cost-efficient genome and exome sequencing becomes available; (ii) progress in molecular biology; and (iii) the development and maturation of longitudinal data and retrospective studies that enable the linkage of genes to diseases. We believe that this early-stage innovation represents one of the greatest practical sources for new drug creation.

We believe we have developed a sustainable and scalable product platform that supports the continued growth of our company and the advancement of our pipeline. Leveraging our product platform, we have a goal of adding two to three programs to our pipeline each year going forward.

Recent Developments

On October 5, 2020, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, with Eidos Therapeutics, Inc., or Eidos, Globe Merger Sub I, Inc., or Merger Sub I, and Globe Merger Sub II, Inc., or Merger Sub II (the two latter companies being our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries), providing for, among other things, the acquisition by us of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Eidos, or the Eidos Common Stock, other than shares of Eidos Common Stock that (i) were owned by Eidos as treasury stock, (ii) were owned by us and our subsidiaries and, in each case, not owned on behalf of third parties and (iii) were subject to an outstanding award of shares of Eidos Common Stock that is subject to forfeiture conditions, or Eidos Restricted Share Awards. Under

Table of Contents

the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of Eidos had the right to receive, at their election, either 1.85 shares of our common stock or $73.26 in cash per share of Eidos Common Stock in the transaction, subject to proration as necessary to ensure that the aggregate amount of cash consideration is no greater than $175.0 million. In addition, immediately prior to the effective time of the merger of Merger Sub I with and into Eidos, or the Effective Time, (i) each option to purchase Eidos Common Stock, or an Eidos Option, was converted into an option, on the same terms and conditions applicable to such Eidos Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, to purchase a specified number of shares of our common stock, calculated pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) each outstanding Eidos Restricted Share Award will be converted into an award, on the same terms and conditions applicable to such Eidos Restricted Share Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, covering a number of whole restricted shares of our common stock, calculated pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, with any fractional shares being paid out to the holder of such Eidos Restricted Share Award in cash. On January 19, 2021, at a special meeting of holders of shares of our common stock, our stockholders approved the issuance of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast on the proposal by our stockholders present virtually or by proxy at the special meeting. Additionally, on January 19, 2021, at a special meeting of holders of Eidos Common Stock, the stockholders of Eidos approved, among other things, the adoption of the Merger Agreement, and the mergers and other transactions contemplated thereby, by the affirmative vote of (i) the holders representing a majority of the aggregate voting power of the shares of Eidos Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon, (ii) a majority of the shares of Eidos Common Stock held by stockholders other than (A) us and our affiliates (including Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II), (B) any director or officer of us or our affiliates (including Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II) and (C) any director or officer of Eidos (other than members of the special committee of independent and disinterested directors of Eidos) and (iii) at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of Eidos Common Stock not currently owned by us or our affiliates or associates (as such terms are defined in Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law). The transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement were completed on January 26, 2021.

In January and February 2021, we issued an aggregate of $747.5 million aggregate principal amount of our 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029, or the Notes, pursuant to an Indenture dated January 28, 2021, the Indenture, between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, or the Trustee, in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers, or the Note Offering, pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act. The Notes issued in the Note Offering included $97.5 million aggregate principal amount of Notes sold to the initial purchasers in the Note Offering, or the Initial Purchasers, pursuant to the exercise of the Initial Purchasers’ option to purchase $97.5 million principal amount of additional Notes.

The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of BridgeBio and will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2021, at a rate of 2.25 % per year. The Notes will mature on February 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election.

We received net proceeds from the Note Offering of approximately $730.4 million, after deducting the Initial Purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We used approximately $61.3 million of the net proceeds from the Note Offering to pay the cost of certain capped call transactions, and approximately $50.0 million to pay the cost of repurchasing shares of our common stock in connection with the Note Offering.

Conflicts of Interest

Affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., or KKR, beneficially own (through investment in KKR Genetic Disorder L.P.) in excess of 10% of our issued and outstanding common stock. Because KKR Capital Markets LLC, an affiliate of KKR, is an underwriter in this offering and its affiliates beneficially own in excess of 10% of our issued and outstanding common stock, KKR Capital Markets LLC is deemed to have a “conflict of interest” under FINRA Rule 5121, or Rule 5121, of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA. In addition, affiliates of KKR Capital Markets LLC hold limited partnership interests in KKR Genetic Disorder L.P., the selling shareholder in this offering, and therefore KKR Capital Markets LLC would also be deemed to have a “conflict of interest” under Rule 5121 because such affiliates of KKR Capital Markets LLC are receiving in the aggregate more than 5% of the net offering proceeds from this offering. Because of these relationships, the offering will be conducted in accordance with Rule 5121.

Pursuant to that rule, the appointment of a “qualified independent underwriter” is not required in connection with this offering because a bona fide public market exists in the shares, as that term is defined in the rule. To comply with

Table of Contents

Rule 5121, KKR Capital Markets LLC will not confirm sales of the securities to any account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the specific written approval of the account holder. See “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest).”

Unless otherwise indicated, the number of shares of our common stock outstanding before and after this offering excludes, as of September 30, 2020:

 

   

7,986,544 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of options with a weighted-average price of approximately $21.31 per share;

 

   

1,234,269 shares of our common stock issuable upon the vesting and settlement of outstanding restricted stock unit awards;

 

   

3,735,550 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under our Amended and Restated 2019 Stock Option and Incentive Plan as well as any future increases in the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2019 Stock Option and Incentive Plan pursuant to evergreen increase provisions;

 

   

9,973 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under our 2019 Inducement Equity Plan; and

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference herein and therein, before making an investment decision. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by the materialization of any of these risks. The trading price of our securities could decline due to the materialization of any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated herein or therein by reference also contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks described in the documents incorporated herein by reference, including (i) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and is incorporated herein by reference, (ii) our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which is on file with the SEC and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, (iii) our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, which is on file with the SEC and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, and (iv) our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, which is on file with the SEC and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, as updated by our subsequent annual, quarterly and other reports and documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus and other documents we file with the SEC that are deemed incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus.

Risks Related to the Offering

Because a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock are or will be, and the shares of common stock sold in this offering upon issuance will be, freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market in and following this offering could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market in and following this offering could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. All of the                 shares of common stock to be sold in this offering (representing approximately     % of our total outstanding shares) will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. As a result, the lack of a robust resale market may require a stockholder who desires to sell a large number of shares of common stock to sell the shares in increments over time to mitigate any adverse impact of the sales on the market price of our stock.

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to those of existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of such shares.

 

S-7


Table of Contents

The trading price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control.

The stock market in general and the market for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. As a result of this volatility, you may not be able to sell your common stock at or above the public offering price and you may lose some or all of your investment.

Our common stock is equity and is subordinate to our existing and future indebtedness.

Our common stock is equity interest in the company and does not constitute indebtedness. As such, claims of holders of common stock will rank junior to all of our indebtedness and other non-equity claims against us and our assets available to satisfy claims against us, including in the event of our liquidation. In addition, common stock will effectively be subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations of our subsidiaries as our right to participate in any distribution of assets of any of our subsidiaries, including upon the subsidiary’s liquidation, will be subject to the prior claims of creditors of that subsidiary, except to the extent that any of our claims as a creditor of such subsidiary may be recognized. Further, common stock places no restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness.

Additionally, unlike indebtedness, where principal and interest would customarily be payable on specified due dates, in the case of common stock (i) dividends are payable only if declared by our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board and (ii) as a corporation, we are subject to restrictions on payments of dividends and redemption price out of lawfully available funds.

Further, common stock places no restrictions on our business or operations or on our ability to incur indebtedness or engage in any transactions.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS

The following discussion is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock issued pursuant to this offering, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that discussed below regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock.

This discussion is limited to Non-U.S. Holders that hold our common stock as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to a Non-U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to Non-U.S. Holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

 

   

U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

 

   

persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

 

   

persons holding our common stock as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated investment;

 

   

banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions;

 

   

brokers, dealers or traders in securities;

 

   

“controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

 

   

partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and investors therein);

 

   

tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

 

   

persons deemed to sell our common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;

 

   

persons who hold or receive our common stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation;

 

   

tax-qualified retirement plans; and

 

   

“qualified foreign pension funds” as defined in Section 897(l)(2) of the Code and entities all of the interests of which are held by qualified foreign pension funds.

If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships holding our common stock and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.

THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.

Definition of a Non-U.S. Holder

For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of our common stock that is neither a “U.S. person” nor an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. person is any person that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following:

 

   

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

   

a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

 

   

an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

 

   

a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) or (2) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Distributions

If we make distributions of cash or property on our common stock, such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Amounts not treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will constitute a return of capital and first be applied against and reduce a Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock, but not below zero. Any excess will be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described below under “—Sale or other taxable disposition.”

Subject to the discussion below on effectively connected income, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividends (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty, provided the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) certifying qualification for the lower treaty rate). A Non-U.S. Holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.

If dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such dividends are attributable), the Non-U.S. Holder will be exempt from the U.S. federal withholding tax described above. To claim the exemption, the Non-U.S. Holder must furnish to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

 

S-15


Table of Contents

Any such effectively connected dividends will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected dividends, as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Sale or other taxable disposition

Subject to the discussion below regarding backup withholding and Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless:

 

   

the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such gain is attributable);

 

   

the Non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the disposition and certain other requirements are met; or

 

   

our common stock constitutes a U.S. real property interest, or USRPI, by reason of our status as a U.S. real property holding corporation, or USRPHC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.

Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States), provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

With respect to the third bullet point above, we believe we currently are not, and do not anticipate becoming, a USRPHC. Because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends, however, on the fair market value of our USRPIs relative to the fair market value of our non-U.S. real property interests and our other business assets, there can be no assurance we currently are not a USRPHC or will not become one in the future. Even if we are or were to become a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if our common stock is “regularly traded,” as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, and such Non-U.S. Holder owned, actually and constructively, 5% or less of our common stock throughout the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other taxable disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Information reporting and backup withholding

Payments of dividends on our common stock will not be subject to backup withholding, provided the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know the holder is a United States person and the holder either certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any dividends on our common stock paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. In addition, proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting, if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person, or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of our common stock conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker that does not have certain enumerated relationships with the United States generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting.

Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Additional withholding tax on payments made to foreign accounts

Withholding taxes may be imposed under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly referred to as the FATCA) on certain types of payments made to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. Specifically, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on dividends on, or (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our common stock paid to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the Code), unless (1) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (2) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner, or (3) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in (1) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain “specified United States persons” or “United States-owned foreign entities” (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally applies to payments of dividends on our common stock. While, beginning on January 1, 2019, withholding under FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our common stock, recently proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued.

Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to their investment in our common stock.

UNDERWRITING (CONFLICTS OF INTEREST)

We, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representative of the underwriters named below, and the selling stockholder have entered into an underwriting agreement with respect to the shares of common stock being offered. Subject to certain conditions, each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase the number of shares of common stock from the selling stockholder indicated in the following table:

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC

                       

KKR Capital Markets LLC

  

Raymond James & Associates, Inc.

The underwriters are committed to take and pay for all of the shares being offered, if any are taken, other than the shares covered by the option described below unless and until this option is exercised.

The underwriters have an option to buy up to an additional                shares from the selling stockholder to cover sales by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than the total number set forth in the table above. They may exercise that option for 30 days. If any shares are purchased pursuant to this option, the underwriters will severally purchase shares in approximately the same proportion as set forth in the table above.

The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriters by the selling stockholder. Such amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase                additional shares from the selling stockholder.

Shares sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus. Any shares sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount of up to $                per share from the public offering price. After the offering of the shares, the representatives may change the offering price and the other selling terms. The offering of the shares by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters’ right to reject any order in whole or in part.

Our directors and officers (but not any other holders of our common stock) agreed with the initial purchasers in our recent 2.5% senior convertible note financing in January 2021, or the Convertible Note Financing, not to, subject to certain exceptions, dispose of or hedge any of their common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock during the period from January 25, 2021, the pricing of the Convertible Note Financing, until 60 days thereafter, except with the consent of the lead initial purchaser in the Convertible Note Financing.

We and the selling stockholder have agreed with the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any of their common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock during the period from the date of this prospectus continuing through the date

 

S-18


Table of Contents

45 days after the date of this prospectus for us and 60 days after the date of this prospectus for the selling stockholder, except with the prior written consent of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC. This agreement does not apply to any existing employee benefit plans. See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” for a discussion of certain transfer restrictions. Except for us and the selling stockholder, no other parties are entering into a lock-up agreement in connection with this offering.

The public offering price has been negotiated among the selling stockholder and the representative. Among the factors to be considered in determining the public offering price of the shares, in addition to prevailing market conditions, will be our historical performance, estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects, an assessment of our management, the current market price for our common stock and the consideration of the above factors in relation to market valuation of companies in related businesses.

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “BBIO”.

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares of common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering, and a short position represents the amount of such sales that have not been covered by subsequent purchases. A “covered short position” is a short position that is not greater than the amount of additional shares for which the underwriters’ option described above may be exercised. The underwriters may cover any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to cover the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase additional shares pursuant to the option described above. “Naked” short sales are any short sales that create a short position greater than the amount of additional shares for which the option described above may be exercised. The underwriters must cover any such naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of common stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the offering.

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our stock, and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the common stock. As a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time. These transactions may be effected on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

This prospectus contains general information only and does not take account of the investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs of any particular person. It does not contain any securities recommendations or financial product advice. Before making an investment decision, investors need to consider whether the information in this prospectus is appropriate to their needs, objectives and circumstances, and, if necessary, seek expert advice on those matters.

We estimate that our share of the total expenses of the offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $                million. We have agreed to reimburse the underwriters for certain expenses in an amount up to $                .

We and the selling stockholder have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

Conflicts of Interest

Affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., or KKR, beneficially own (through investment in KKR Genetic Disorder L.P.) in excess of 10% of our issued and outstanding common stock. Because KKR Capital Markets LLC, an affiliate of KKR, is an underwriter in this offering and its affiliates beneficially own in excess of 10% of our issued and outstanding common stock, KKR Capital Markets LLC is deemed to have a “conflict of interest” under FINRA Rule 5121, or Rule 5121, of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA. In addition, affiliates of KKR Capital Markets LLC hold limited partnership interests in KKR Genetic Disorder L.P., the selling shareholder in this offering, and therefore KKR Capital Markets LLC would also be deemed to have a “conflict of interest” under Rule 5121 because such affiliates of KKR Capital Markets LLC are receiving in the aggregate more than 5% of the net offering proceeds from this offering. Because of these relationships, the offering will be conducted in accordance with Rule 5121. Pursuant to that rule, the appointment of a “qualified independent underwriter” is not required in connection with this offering because a bona fide public market exists in the shares, as that term is defined in the rule. To comply with Rule 5121, KKR Capital Markets LLC will not confirm sales of the securities to any account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the specific written approval of the account holder.

provided that no such offer of the shares of common stock shall require the company or any representative to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer to the public” in relation to any shares of common stock in any Relevant State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and any shares of common stock to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for any shares of common stock, and the expression “Prospectus Regulation” means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129.

This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities the Selling Stockholders may offer. When the Selling Stockholders sell shares of our common stock using this prospectus, we or such Selling Stockholders may, if required, provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the offering and the securities offered, and may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus.

Neither this prospectus nor any accompanying prospectus supplement constitutes, and may not be used in connection with, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities offered by this prospectus or such accompanying prospectus supplement by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such an offer or solicitation.

The information contained in this prospectus or in an applicable prospectus supplement is accurate only as of their respective dates, and the information in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement is accurate only as of the date of those documents, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or of any sale of our common stock.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

The following highlights information about the Registrant and our business contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. It is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in any of our securities. You should carefully read this prospectus together with the more detailed information incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

Overview

We are a team of experienced drug discoverers, developers and innovators working to create life-altering medicines that target well-characterized genetic diseases at their source. We founded BridgeBio in 2015 to identify and advance transformative medicines to treat patients who suffer from Mendelian diseases, which are diseases that arise from defects in a single gene, and cancers with clear genetic drivers. Our pipeline of over 20 development programs includes product candidates ranging from early discovery to late-stage development. Several of our programs target indications that we believe present the potential for our product candidates, if approved, to target portions of market opportunities of at least $1.0 billion in annual sales. We have initiated a rolling new drug application (NDA) submission for one of our product candidates, and have three product candidates in clinical trials that, if positive, we believe could support the filing of an application for marketing authorization.

We began operating as BridgeBio LLC in April 2015. BridgeBio Pharma LLC, or the LLC entity, was formed in March 2016. In June 2017, BridgeBio Pharma LLC merged with BridgeBio LLC, with BridgeBio Pharma LLC being the surviving entity. On May 17, 2019, we formed BridgeBio Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as a stand-alone entity for the purpose of completing our initial public offering. On June 13, 2019, we formed BridgeBio Pharma Merger Sub LLC, or Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. In connection with our initial public offering and related organizational transactions, Merger Sub LLC was merged with and into the LLC entity, with the LLC entity being the surviving entity and our wholly-owned subsidiary. As part of this merger, the unitholders of the LLC entity exchanged their units in the LLC entity for shares of our common stock. On July 1, 2019, we completed our initial public offering of common stock. See “Description of Common Stock” incorporated by reference in this prospectus for a description of the terms of our common stock.

We have experienced some delays in enrollment of ongoing clinical trials and delay in the start of planned trials due to the global outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, the novel strain of coronavirus that causes Coronavirus disease 19, or COVID-19. The ultimate impacts of COVID-19 on our business are currently unknown. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further precautionary and preemptive actions as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of public health and safety and that of our patient community, employees, partners, suppliers and stockholders. We cannot predict the effects that such actions, or the impact of COVID-19 on global business operations and economic conditions, may have on our business or strategy, including the effects on our ongoing and planned clinical development activities and prospects, or on our financial and operating results.

Our principal executive offices are located at 421 Kipling Street, Palo Alto, CA 94301, and our telephone number is (650) 391-0740. Our corporate website address is https://bridgebio.com. Our website and the information contained on, or that can be accessed through, the website will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in, and are not considered part of, this prospectus. You should not rely on any such information in making your decision whether to purchase our securities.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act” are available, free of charge, on or through our website as soon as

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making a decision to invest in our common stock, in addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, in any accompanying prospectus supplement or incorporated by reference herein or therein, you should carefully consider the risks set forth below and the risks described under “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, as well as any amendments thereto, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus in their entirety, together with other information in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, the documents incorporated by reference, and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection with a specific offering. See the section titled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Future sales of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities, regardless of whether there is any relationship between such sales and the performance of our business.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

On June 26, 2019, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “RRA”) with the Selling Stockholders, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders have certain rights to include for registration shares of their common stock. This prospectus covers the sale or other disposition by the Selling Stockholders of up to the total number of shares of common stock held by the Selling Stockholders that are subject to the RRA. The Selling Stockholders acquired such shares of common stock pursuant to a series of transactions effected on July 1, 2019 in connection with the completion of our initial public offering, in which the Selling Stockholders were issued shares of our common stock in exchange for outstanding units in BridgeBio Pharma LLC (“BBP LLC”) upon the merger of BridgeBio Pharma Merger Sub LLC, our former wholly-owned subsidiary, with and into BBP LLC. In addition, the Selling Stockholders purchased shares of our common stock in connection with our initial public offering. Throughout this prospectus, when we refer to the shares of our common stock being registered on behalf of the Selling Stockholders, we are referring to the shares held by the Selling Stockholders that are subject to the RRA.

We are registering the above-referenced shares to permit each of the Selling Stockholders to resell or otherwise dispose of the shares listed in the table below in the manner contemplated under “Plan of Distribution” below.

The table below sets forth certain information known to us, based upon written representations from the Selling Stockholders, with respect to the beneficial ownership of our shares of common stock held by the Selling Stockholders as of July 24, 2020. Because the Selling Stockholders may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all, some or none of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus, we cannot determine the number of such shares that will be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Selling Stockholders, or the amount or percentage of shares of our common stock that will be held by the Selling Stockholders upon termination of any particular offering. See the section titled “Plan of Distribution.” For purposes of the table below, we assume that the Selling Stockholders will sell all their shares of common stock covered by this prospectus.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that each of the Selling Stockholders has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that it beneficially owns. Unless otherwise described below, to our knowledge, the Selling Stockholders have not held any position or office or had any other material relationship with us or our affiliates during the three years prior to the date of this prospectus. In addition, except as otherwise described below, based on the information provided to us by the Selling Stockholders, the Selling Stockholders are not broker-dealers or affiliates of a broker-dealer.

Applicable percentage ownership is based on 122,274,170 shares of common stock outstanding as of July 24, 2020.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the shares of common stock held by the Selling Stockholders to permit the resale of such shares from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Stockholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

The Selling Stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the Selling Stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or selling commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, in the over-the-counter market or in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market and in one or more other transactions, including transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

   

an underwritten offering;

 

   

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

   

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

   

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

   

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

   

privately negotiated transactions;

 

   

settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

 

   

broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

   

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

 

   

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

   

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, including upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as permitted by that rule, or Section 4(a)(1) under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transactions); provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of such exemptions and provisions.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. If the Selling Stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal. Such commissions will be in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a further prospectus supplement or an amendment to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction will not be in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.01.

In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and if such short sale shall take place after the date of this prospectus, the Selling Stockholders may deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or under a supplement or any amendment to this prospectus under an applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it is not a registered broker-dealer and does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. Upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement or amendment to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

There can be no assurance that any Selling Stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

Each Selling Stockholder and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholder and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the RRA, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees, expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws and certain

expenses, as applicable, of one counsel to the Selling Stockholders appointed pursuant to the RRA; provided, however, that each Selling Stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any and any other related legal expenses incurred by it. We will indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the RRA, or the Selling Stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the Selling Stockholders against certain liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the Selling Stockholders specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related RRA, or we may be entitled to contribution.
