**PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY** 

*This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our common shares. You should read and consider carefully the more detailed information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the factors described under the heading "Risk Factors" in this prospectus supplement and the financial and other information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as well as the information included in any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, before making an investment decision.* 

**Company Overview** 

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing gene therapies to improve the lives of patients. We are developing non-viral gene therapies based on our novel and proprietary dually derived chitosan, or "DDX", gene delivery platform, which allows localized delivery of multiple gene cargos directly to mucosal tissues and other organs. We believe our DDX platform, with its broad tissue and disease application, has the potential to take gene therapy beyond rare genetic diseases into oncology and other underserved therapeutic areas. We have established integrated capabilities with this platform to support the clinical development and potential commercialization of our gene therapies.

Our lead product candidate, detalimogene voraplasmid, (also known as detalimogene, and previously EG-70), which is comprised of three gene cargos delivered via our proprietary DDX platform, is a therapy designed to generate a local immune reaction in proximity to tumors. We believe this enables the immune system to reduce or clear the tumor and develop memory to resist recurrence. Because this treatment does not need to deliver the therapeutic gene directly into tumor cells, it is applicable to many tumor types. We are currently developing detalimogene as a monotherapy to treat non-muscle invasive bladder cancer ("NMIBC") with carcinoma in situ ("CIS") in patients that have been unresponsive to treatment with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin, or "BCG," or what is referred to as "BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with CIS."

In NMIBC, carcinoma in situ, or CIS, is a flat, high-grade, sessile tumor that has a high likelihood of invading the deeper layers of the bladder wall. A "high-" or "low-" tumor risk describes the degree to which the tumor pathology appears more likely to grow quickly and invade non-cancerous tissue. NMIBC with CIS is typically initially treated with a solution containing the bacterium BCG that is instilled into the bladder multiple times over the course of several months. Despite this treatment, many of these cancers recur and are unresponsive to additional BCG, allowing the cancer to spread throughout and deeper into the bladder and often requiring surgical removal of the bladder (radical cystectomy). We believe BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with CIS is currently an underserved therapeutic segment with limited treatment options, and that there is a market opportunity for detalimogene as a monotherapy for this condition. While the potential market for detalimogene may not be limited to these patients, that is our current initial focus in working to bring detalimogene to market.

Further details concerning our business, including information with respect to our assets, operations and development history, are provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as revised or supplemented by our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, or our current reports on Form 8-K, which are incorporated herein by reference, and which may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. See "Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference." You are encouraged to thoroughly review the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement as they contain important information concerning our business and our prospects.

**Recent Developments** 

Detalimogene is being evaluated in the ongoing, open-label, multi-cohort, Phase 2 LEGEND trial to establish its safety and efficacy in high-risk NMIBC. LEGEND's pivotal cohort ("Cohort 1") has completed enrollment of 125 patients with high-risk, BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with CIS with or without papillary disease. In addition to Cohort 1, LEGEND includes three additional cohorts, which include NMIBC patients with CIS who are naïve to treatment with BCG ("Cohort 2a"); NMIBC patients with CIS who have been exposed to BCG but have not received adequate BCG treatment ("Cohort 2b"); and BCG-unresponsive high-risk NMIBC patients with papillary-only disease ("Cohort 3").

Following recent discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") the primary endpoint for Cohort 1 will change to complete response ("CR") at any time from its previous primary endpoint of landmark 12-month CR rate, with its key secondary endpoint becoming duration of response rate. This updated primary endpoint is consistent with other recent programs for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC registered with FDA.

***Preliminary Efficacy Data***

On November 11, 2025, we announced updated preliminary efficacy data from two patient subpopulations of the intent-to-treat ("ITT") patient population of Cohort 1 consisting of (i) patients who received at least one dose of detalimogene and had at least one post-baseline disease assessment and were enrolled prior to the amendment of the protocol in the fourth quarter of 2024 (the "Pre-Protocol Amendment Patients") and (ii) patients who received at least one dose of detalimogene and had at least one post-baseline disease assessment and were enrolled following the amendment of the protocol in the fourth quarter of 2024 (the "Post-Protocol Amendment Patients"). As of October 24, 2025, the ITT population consisted of 31 Pre-Protocol Amendment Patients and 62 Post-Protocol Amendment Patients. The table below summarizes preliminary efficacy results from the two separate patient subpopulations:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **ITT Population\*** |  | **Any Time<br>(N=62)** | **3 Month**<br> **(N=62)** | **6 Month\*\***<br> **(N=37)** |
|  Post-Protocol Amendment Patients | CR Rate | 63%<br> (CI: 51-74) | 56%<br> (CI: 44-68) | 62%<br> (CI: 46-76) |
|  |  | **Any Time**<br>**(N=31)** | **3 Month**<br> **(N=31)** | **6 Month**<br> **(N=27)** |
|  Pre-Protocol Amendment Patients | CR Rate | 55%<br> (CI: 38-71) | 55%<br> (CI: 38-71) | 41%<br> (CI: 25-59) |

---

*Data as of October 24, 2025.* 

*\** *ITT: Intent-To-Treat population includes all Pre-Protocol Amendment Patients and Post-Protocol Amendment Patients, respectively, who received at least 1 dose of treatment and had at least 1 post-baseline disease assessment.*

*\*\** *CR rates at 6 months include only patients who were evaluable at the 6-month timepoint or had disease progression prior to the 6-month assessment.* 

*CI: 95% Confidence Interval* 

The preliminary efficacy data for Pre-Protocol Amendment Patients demonstrated a markedly lower 12-month CR rate than those of FDA-approved products for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC patients.

Among the Post-Protocol Amendment Patients, four patients that did not have a CR at the 3-month assessment converted to a CR at the 6-month assessment. In addition, of the 23 patients in this subpopulation with a CR at the 6-month assessment, five patients remained in CR at the 9-month assessment, 17 patients are pending their 9-month assessment and one patient dropped out of the study prior to the 9-month assessment.

***Preliminary Safety Data***

Detalimogene's overall tolerability profile was favorable. Of the 125 patients assessed for safety in Cohort 1, as of October 24, 2025, 53 patients (42%) experienced at least one treatment-related adverse event ("TRAE"), which were mainly Grade 1/2 in severity, except for three patients (2.4%) that experienced Grade 3 TRAEs. The most common TRAEs were Bladder Spasm (10.4%), Dysuria (12.0%), Fatigue (16.8%), Micturition urgency (10.4%), and Pollakiuria (10.4%). There were no Grade 4 or Grade 5 TRAEs reported. Among the three patients with Grade 3 TRAEs, there were no drug discontinuations related to the severe adverse events. The rate of TRAEs leading to dose interruptions was 1.6% and to dose discontinuations was 0.8%.

***Additional LEGEND Trial Updates***

On November 11, 2025, we also announced updates regarding enrollment in the other cohorts of the LEGEND trial:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cohort 2a, evaluating detalimogene in NMIBC patients with CIS who are naïve to treatment with BCG, has
enrolled 30 patients;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cohort 2b, evaluating detalimogene in high-risk NMIBC patients with CIS who have been exposed to BCG but have not
received adequate BCG treatment, has enrolled 45 patients; and

Cohort 3, evaluating detalimogene in BCG-unresponsive high-risk NMIBC patients with papillary-only disease, has enrolled 36 patients.

**Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company** 

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act") exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a registration statement under the Securities Act declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected to opt out of such extended transition period.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of FEAC's IPO, which occurred on December 14, 2021, (b) in which we have total annual revenue of at least $1.23 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year's second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to "emerging growth company" have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Additionally, we are a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our common shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior April 30, or (2) our annual revenues exceed $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our common shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior April 30. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparison of our financial reporting with that of other public companies difficult or impossible.

Before deciding whether to invest in our common shares, you should consider carefully the risk factors discussed below and those contained in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024 and in our most recent subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on September 11, 2025, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, as well as any amendment or update to our risk factors reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC. Please also read carefully the section entitled "Special Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this prospectus supplement.* 

**Risks Related to Our Common Shares and this Offering** 

***Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering and may not use the proceeds effectively.***

Our management will have broad discretion as to the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of the offering or in a manner that does not effectively maximize the potential of our clinical development programs and pipeline. Our management's use of the net proceeds may not increase the market value of our common shares. If our management applies such proceeds in a manner that does not yield a significant return, if any, on our investment of such net proceeds, it could compromise our ability to pursue our growth strategy and adversely affect the market price of our common shares.

***You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value per common share you purchase in this offering and may experience further dilution in the future.***

You will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the as adjusted net tangible book value of the common shares you purchase in this offering. The public offering price per common share offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per common share. Accordingly, at the public offering price of $ per common share, purchasers of common shares in this offering will experience immediate dilution of $ per common share in as adjusted net tangible book value, representing the difference between our as adjusted net tangible book value per common share after giving effect to this offering and the public offering price. See "*Dilution*" beginning on page S-12 of this prospectus supplement for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase common shares in this offering.

***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 common shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common shares at prices that may not be the same as the prices per common share in this offering. We may sell common shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per common share that is less than the prices per common share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing common shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders. The price per common share at which we sell additional common shares, or securities convertible or exchangeable into common shares, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the prices per common share paid by investors in this offering.

***Sales of a substantial number of our common shares by our existing shareholders in the public market could cause our share price to fall.***

If our existing shareholders sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial numbers of our common shares in the public market, the trading price of our common shares could decline. In addition, a substantial number of

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
common shares are subject to outstanding equity awards that are or will become eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by the provisions of various vesting schedules. If these additional common shares are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold, in the public market, the trading price of our common shares could decline.

We, the members of our board of directors and our executive officers have agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, during the period ending 90 days after the date of this prospectus supplement, we will not sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell (including any short sale), pledge, transfer, establish an open "put equivalent position" within the meaning of Rule 16a-l(h) under the Exchange Act; otherwise dispose of any shares of common shares, options or warrants to acquire common shares, or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into common shares currently or hereafter owned either of record or beneficially; enter into any swap, hedge or similar arrangement or agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of common shares, or of options or warrants to common shares, or securities or rights exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into common shares; make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any common shares, or of options or warrants to common shares or securities or rights exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into common shares, or cause to be filed a registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement (or an amendment or supplement thereto) with respect to any such registration; or publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing for a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus supplement without the prior written consent of Jefferies LLC, Leerink Partners LLC or Wells Fargo Securities, LLC who in their sole discretion may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time without notice. See "*Underwriting*" beginning on page S-24 of this prospectus supplement for a more detailed explanation of certain selling restrictions and the exceptions to the lock-up restrictions.

***We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.***

We have not paid any dividends since our incorporation. Even if future operations lead to significant levels of distributable profits, we currently intend that earnings, if any, will be reinvested in our business and that dividends will not be paid until we have an established revenue stream to support continuing dividends. Accordingly, you cannot rely on dividend income from the common shares and any returns on an investment in the common shares will likely depend entirely upon any future appreciation in the price of our common shares.

***We are governed by the corporate laws of Canada which in some cases have a different effect on shareholders than the corporate laws of the United States.***

We are governed by the BCBCA and other relevant laws, which may affect the rights of shareholders differently than those of a company governed by the laws of a U.S. jurisdiction, and may, together with our charter documents, have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or may affect the price an acquiring party would be willing to offer in such an instance. The material differences between the BCBCA and Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, that may have the greatest such effect include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) for certain corporate transactions (such as mergers and amalgamations or amendments to our Articles) the BCBCA generally requires the voting threshold to be a special resolution approved by 66 2/3% of the votes cast by shareholders on the resolution, or as set out in our Articles, as applicable, whereas the DGCL generally only requires a majority vote; and (ii) under the BCBCA a holder of 5% or more of our common shares can requisition a special meeting of shareholders, whereas such right does not exist under the DGCL. Investors may find our company and our common shares less attractive because we are governed by foreign laws.

***We have a history of negative operating cash flow and may continue to experience negative operating cash flow.***

We have had negative operating cash flow for every period since inception. We anticipate that we will continue to have negative cash flow until such time, if at all, that profitable commercial production is achieved

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
with a clinical candidate. To the extent that we have negative cash flow in future periods, we may need to allocate a portion of our cash reserves to fund such negative cash flow. We may also be required to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available when needed or that these financings will be on terms favorable to us.

***We have in the past qualified, and may in the future qualify, as a passive foreign investment company, which may result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequence to U.S. holders.***

We believe that we were a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for taxable years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024. A corporation organized outside the United States generally will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which at least 75% of its gross income is passive income or on average at least 50% of the gross value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held to produce passive income. Passive income for this purpose generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents and gains from commodities and securities transactions. Our status in any taxable year will depend on our assets and activities in each year, and because this is a factual determination made annually after the end of each taxable year, there can be no assurance that we will continue to qualify as a PFIC in future taxable years. The market value of our assets may be determined in large part by reference to the market price of our common shares, which is likely to fluctuate, and may fluctuate considerably given that market prices of biotechnology companies have been especially volatile. If we were considered a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year during which a U.S. holder (as defined under "*Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations*") holds common shares, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences may apply to such U.S. holder, which would be required to file annual information returns for such year, whether the U.S. holder disposed of any of our common shares or received any distributions in respect of our common shares during such year. As discussed under "*Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations*," a U.S. holder may be able to make certain tax elections that would lessen the adverse impact of PFIC status; however, in order to make certain of such elections the U.S. holder will usually have to have been provided information about the company by us, and we do not intend to provide such information.

The U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs are complex. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common shares, the possible implications to them of our being treated as a PFIC (including the availability of applicable elections, and whether making any such election would be advisable in their particular circumstances) as well as the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax considerations applicable to such holders in connection with the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common shares.

***The price of our common shares is and may continue to be volatile and you may not be able to resell our common shares at or above the price you paid.***

The market price for our common shares is volatile and may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, most of which we cannot control, such as fluctuations in financial results, our ability to advance the development of our clinical products or changes in securities analysts' recommendations. In addition, our common shares have been and may continue to be affected by limited trading volume. Each of these factors, among others, could harm your investment in our common shares and could result in you being unable to resell the common shares that you purchased at a price equal to or above the price you paid.

All forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, our examination of historical operating trends, are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Certain assumptions made in preparing the forward-looking statements include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we are able to recruit and retain qualified scientific and management personnel, establish clinical trial sites
and patient registration for clinical trials and acquire technologies complementary to, or necessary for, detalimogene or any other programs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we are able to enroll, in a timely manner, a sufficient number of patients in each cohort of the Phase 2 LEGEND

delivery of genetic medicines to mucosal tissues.

The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement are based primarily on current expectations and projections about future events and trends that may affect our business, financial condition and operating results, and relate only to the events of the date such statements are made. The following uncertainties and factors, among other things (including those described in "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K), could affect future performance and actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in, anticipated or implied by forward-looking statements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risks applicable to our business, including the heavy dependence on the success of detalimogene, preliminary data
from our clinical trials changing over time, including as more patient data become available, and the extensive regulation of all aspects of our business, competition from other existing or newly developed products and treatments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risks associated with the protection of intellectual property, our ability to raise additional capital to fund
our product development activity, and our ability to maintain key relationships and to attract and retain talented personnel;

**USE OF PROCEEDS** 

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be approximately $ million, or approximately $ million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional Common Shares from us in full.

As of October 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $202.4 million.

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our common shares pursuant to this offering to fund the continued clinical development of detalimogene and preparations for establishing commercial infrastructure to support a potential launch of detalimogene and for general corporate purposes.

Based on our current operating plans, we estimate the net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, will be sufficient for us to fund our operations into .

This expected use of our net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, if any, from this offering, and the amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including those listed under the heading "*Risk Factors*" in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base shelf prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. We therefore cannot estimate with certainty the amount of net proceeds to be used for the purposes described above. While we intend to spend the net proceeds of the offering as stated above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a re-allocation of funds may be necessary or advisable.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**DIVIDEND POLICY** 

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common shares, and we do not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends on our Common Shares in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will retain all earnings, if any, to support operations and to finance the growth and development of our business for the foreseeable future. Subject to such restrictions, a proposal for the payment of cash dividends in the future, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors, and will depend upon such factors as earnings levels, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, our overall financial condition and any other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Our dividend policy is set forth under the heading "*Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities*" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated in this prospectus by reference, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**DILUTION** 

If you invest in our common shares in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the price per common share you pay in this offering and the net tangible book value per common shares immediately after this offering. The net tangible book value (deficit) of our common shares as of July 31, 2025 was $200.7 million, or $(3.93 per common share, based upon 51,105,807 common shares outstanding as of such date. Net tangible book value (deficit) per common share is equal to our total tangible assets, less our total liabilities, divided by the total number of common shares outstanding as of July 31, 2025.

After giving effect to our issuance and sale of common shares at the public offering price of $ per common share and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of July 31, 2025 would have been $ million, or $ per common share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $ per common share to our existing shareholders and immediate dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value of $ per common share to new investors participating in this offering. Dilution per common share to new investors participating in this offering is determined by subtracting as adjusted net tangible book value per common share after this offering from the public offering price per common share paid by new investors. The following table illustrates this calculation on a per common share basis, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional common shares.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  Public offering price per common share |  | $|
|  Net tangible book value per common share as of July 31, 2025 | $3.93 |  |
|  Increase per common share attributable to new investors |  |  |
|  As adjusted net tangible book value per common share as of July 31, 2025 after giving effect to this offering |  |  |
|  Dilution per common share to new investors purchasing common shares in this offering |  | $|

---

If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase any additional common shares in this offering in full at the public offering price of $ per common share after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value per common share as of July 31, 2025 would have been $ per common share, and the immediate dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value to new investors participating in this offering would have been $ per common share.

The number of common shares to be outstanding after this offering, as set forth above, is based on 51,105,807 common shares outstanding as of July 31, 2025, which amount excludes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 9,408,647 common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options at a weighted-average price of $6.49 per
share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 8,511,968 common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants (inclusive of 8,449,555 warrants with an
exercise price of $11.50 per share and 62,413 warrants issued to Hercules in connection with the Amended Loan Agreement with an exercise price of $7.21 per share);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 2,812,856 common shares reserved for future issuance under the Company's Amended and Restated 2023 Plan and
any additional automatic increases in the number of common shares reserved for issuance under the 2023 Plan;

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 2,000,000 common shares of the Company issuable to eligible participants under the enGene Holdings Inc. 2025
Employee Stock Purchase Plan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• up to 76,283 additional common shares that may be issuable upon exercise of warrants that may be issued to
Hercules in connection with the Amended Loan Agreement with a weighted-average exercise price that, if issued, would be determined at such later date.

Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus supplement assumes no exercise of the warrants or vested options or the exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional common shares. To the extent that outstanding options are exercised or other shares are issued, investors purchasing our common shares in this offering may experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to issue additional common shares, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common shares, in the future. The issuance of these securities could result in further dilution for investors purchasing our common shares in this offering.

**CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS** 

The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of our common shares by U.S. Holders (as defined herein). This summary does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances, including investors subject to special tax rules (e.g., financial institutions, insurance companies, brokers, dealers, tax-exempt or governmental organizations (including private foundations), taxpayers subject to the rules of Section 451(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "*Code*") due to their use of certain financial statements, taxpayers that have elected mark-to-market accounting, S corporations, partnerships or other entities or arrangements classified as pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or investors therein), regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, passive foreign investment companies, controlled foreign corporations, investors that will hold common shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, investors that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, certain former citizens or residents of the United States, persons deemed to sell our common shares under the constructive sale provisions of the Code, persons who acquired our common shares pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as compensation, retirement plans, persons holding common shares in tax deferred or tax advantaged accounts, or persons that own or are deemed to own ten percent (10%) or more of our common shares, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ materially from those summarized below. In addition, this summary does not discuss other U.S. federal non-income tax considerations (e.g., estate or gift tax), any state, local, or non-U.S. tax considerations or the Medicare tax or alternative minimum tax (including the corporate alternative minimum tax imposed with respect to financial statement income). In addition, this summary is limited to investors that will hold common shares as "capital assets" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. No ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, (the "*IRS*") has been or will be sought regarding any matter discussed herein. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain a position contrary to the discussion set forth below.

For purposes of this summary, a "*U.S. Holder*" is a beneficial holder of common shares who or that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes is:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created in, or
organized under the laws of, the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes
regardless of its source; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and
which has one or more United States persons (within the meaning of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has in effect a valid election under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated
as a United States person.

This discussion is based on the Code, proposed, temporary and final Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code, judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, the income tax treaty between the United States and Canada (the "Treaty") and practices and guidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to differing interpretations. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax considerations described herein.

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds common shares, the tax treatment of a partner, member or other beneficial owner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner, member or other beneficial owner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner, member or other beneficial owner level. If you are a partner, member or other beneficial owner of an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
federal income tax purposes and that holds common shares, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common shares.

**THIS DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY, DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OR DESCRIPTION OF ALL POTENTIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS, AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. PROSPECTIVE HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, AS WELL AS THE APPLICATION OF ANY STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME, ESTATE AND OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS.** 

***Taxation of Distributions***

*General* 

Subject to the passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") and foreign currency rules discussed below*,* if we pay distributions to U.S. Holders of common shares, such distributions will generally 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. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as so determined will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in our common shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the common shares and will be treated as described under *"— Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares*" below. Because enGene may not maintain calculations of earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that the full amount of distributions (if any) paid by enGene will be reported as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

With certain exceptions (including dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided (i) the common shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or enGene is eligible for the benefits of the Treaty, (ii) enGene is not treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder for the taxable year in which the dividend was paid nor for the preceding taxable year and (iii) certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. Holder will generally constitute "qualified dividends" that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. The dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations.

For purposes of the foreign tax credit rules, dividends will be treated as foreign-source income. As discussed below under "*Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations — Dividends on Common Shares*," dividends paid by enGene will be subject to Canadian withholding tax. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the amount of dividend income will include any amounts withheld in respect of Canadian taxes. Subject to applicable limitations that vary depending upon a U.S. Holder's particular circumstances and the discussion below regarding certain Treasury regulations, Canadian taxes withheld from dividend payments (at a rate not exceeding the applicable rate provided in the Treaty with respect to a U.S. Holder eligible for the benefits of the Treaty) generally will be creditable against such U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability. If the dividends are qualified dividend income (as discussed above), the amount of the dividend taken into account for purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit limitation will be limited to the gross amount of the dividend, multiplied by the reduced rate divided by the highest rate of tax normally applicable to dividends. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends distributed by enGene with respect to our common shares generally will constitute "passive category income" but could, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, constitute "general category income." The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex. For example, Treasury regulations provide that, in the absence of an election to apply the benefits of an applicable income tax treaty, in order for non-U.S. income taxes to be creditable against U.S.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
federal income taxes, the relevant non-U.S. income tax rules must be consistent with certain U.S. federal income tax principles, and we have not determined whether the Canadian income tax system meets these requirements. A recent IRS notice indicated the Treasury Department and the IRS are considering amendments to these Treasury regulations and provided some temporary relief from certain of their provisions, and such relief was recently extended. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the creditability of Canadian taxes in their particular circumstances. In lieu of claiming a credit, a U.S. Holder may be able to elect to deduct non-U.S. income taxes, including Canadian taxes, in computing such U.S. Holder's taxable income, subject to applicable limitations. An election to deduct creditable non-U.S. taxes instead of claiming foreign tax credits applies to all creditable non-U.S. taxes paid or accrued in the taxable year.

*Distributions in Non-U.S. Currency* 

Dividends paid in non-U.S. currency will be included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder in a U.S. dollar amount calculated with reference to a spot market exchange rate in effect on the date that the dividends are actually or constructively received by the U.S. Holder, regardless of whether such foreign currency is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. If such dividends are converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect thereof. If the foreign currency so received is not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, such U.S. Holder will have a basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the foreign currency generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss to such U.S. Holder and generally will be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of foreign currency gain or loss, if any, on any foreign currency received by a U.S. Holder that are converted into U.S. dollars on a date subsequent to receipt.

***Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares***

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our common shares. Any such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder's holding period for the common shares so disposed of exceeds one year. The amount of gain or loss recognized will generally be equal to the difference between (1) the sum of the amount of cash (in U.S. dollars) and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (2) the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its common shares so disposed of. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its common shares will generally equal the U.S. Holder's acquisition cost therefor (in U.S. dollars) less any prior distributions in respect of such common shares treated as a return of capital, as discussed above. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. This gain or loss generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss.

***Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules***

The treatment of U.S. Holders of enGene common shares could be materially different from that described above due to the application of the PFIC rules.

In general and as relevant here, a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which (i) 50% or more of the value of its assets (generally determined on the basis of a weighted quarterly average) including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income, or (ii) 75% or more of its gross income, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, consists of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets. Cash, cash equivalents, securities held for investment and certain other similar assets are generally passive assets. The value of goodwill and other intangibles will generally be treated as an active or passive asset based on the nature of the income produced in the activity to which the goodwill and intangibles are attributable.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
enGene's PFIC status for any taxable year is a factual annual determination that can be made only after the end of that year and will depend on the composition of enGene's income and assets and the value of its assets from time to time. The value of enGene's assets includes the value of its goodwill and other intangible assets not shown on its financial statements, which may be determined, in large part, by reference to the market price of the enGene common shares from time to time, which is subject to change and may be particularly volatile while the business is at the pre-commercialization stage. In addition, prior to the commercialization of any of enGene's drug candidates its income may be primarily passive. enGene believes it was a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the tax year ended October 31, 2024 and the tax year ended October 31, 2025 and there is a significant risk that we will be a PFIC for our current or any future taxable year.

If enGene is a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of enGene common shares and the U.S. Holder did not make any of the applicable PFIC elections discussed below, such U.S. Holder generally will be subject to special and adverse rules with respect to (i) any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its enGene common shares and (ii) any "excess distribution" made to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder to the extent greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the enGene common shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder's holding period for the enGene common shares).

Under these rules (the "interest charge rules"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the U.S. Holder's gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder's
holding period for the enGene common shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder's taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or
received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder's holding period before the first day of enGene's first taxable year in which enGene is a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in the U.S.
Holder's holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on
the U.S. Holder with respect to the tax attributable to each taxable year described in the preceding bullet of the U.S. Holder.

The tax liability for amounts allocated to years before the year of disposition or "excess distribution" cannot be offset by any net operating losses for such years, and gains (but not losses) realized on the sale of our common shares cannot be treated as capital, even if the U.S. Holder holds the common shares as capital assets.

If enGene is a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds its common shares, enGene generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder for all succeeding years during which such U.S. Holder holds its common shares. However, if enGene otherwise ceases to be a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may avoid some of the adverse effects of the PFIC regime if such U.S. Holder makes a "purging" election or has a "mark-to-market" election in effect with respect to such common shares, each as described below under "PFIC Elections." If a purging election is made, a U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold the common shares at their fair market value, and any gain from the deemed sale would be subject to the interest charge rules described above. After the purging election, such common shares with respect to which the purging election was made would not be treated as shares in a PFIC and the U.S. Holder would not be subject to the interest charge rules described above. See "*Mark-to-Market Election*" below for information on the mark-to-market election.

*PFIC Elections* 

In general, if enGene is a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may avoid the adverse PFIC tax consequences under the interest charge rules described above in respect of enGene common shares (a) by making or having made a

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
qualified electing fund ("QEF") election or a mark-to-market election for the first taxable year for which enGene is or was a PFIC and in which such U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) such enGene common shares and maintaining such election or (b) by making and maintaining a QEF election along with an applicable purging election (collectively, the "PFIC Elections").

*QEF and Purging Elections* 

As a result of making and maintaining a timely and valid QEF election (if eligible to do so), a U.S. Holder of enGene common shares must include in income such U.S. Holder's pro rata share of enGene's net capital gains (as long-term capital gain) and other earnings and profits (as ordinary income), on a current basis, whether or not distributed. A U.S. Holder generally may make a separate election to defer the payment of taxes on undistributed income inclusions under the QEF rules, but if deferred, any such taxes will be subject to an interest charge. A subsequent distribution of such earnings and profits that were previously included in income should generally not be taxable as a dividend to such U.S. Holder. The tax basis of a U.S. Holder's shares in a PFIC with respect to which a QEF election has been made will be increased by amounts that are included in income, and decreased by amounts distributed but not taxed as dividends, under the above rules.

If a U.S. Holder does not make a timely and valid QEF election in respect of its common shares, it would generally be subject to the interest charge rules described above unless it subsequently made a QEF election and a "purging election" with respect to its common shares.

Under the type of purging election most likely relevant, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold its common shares at their fair market value and any gain recognized on such deemed sale will be treated as an excess distribution, as described above. As a result of this election, the U.S. Holder will have additional basis (to the extent of any gain recognized in the deemed sale) and, for purposes of the interest charge rules, a new holding period in such holder's enGene common shares. Because after the purging election takes effect the QEF election will be in effect for the entirety of the new holding period, the interest charge rules will not apply thereafter with respect to the enGene common shares.

The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder generally makes a QEF election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 (Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund), including the information provided in a PFIC Annual Information Statement from enGene, to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the tax year to which the election relates. In the event that enGene determines that enGene is a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, enGene will, upon request of a holder of enGene Shares, provide a PFIC Annual Information Statement to such holder. Retroactive QEF elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement with such federal income tax return and if certain other conditions are met or with the consent of the IRS. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a retroactive QEF election under their particular circumstances.

*Mark-to-Market Election* 

As an alternative to a QEF election, if a U.S. Holder owns shares in a company that is a PFIC and the shares are "regularly traded" on a "qualified exchange," such U.S. Holder could make a mark-to-market election that would result in tax treatment different from that under the interest charge rules described above. The enGene common shares will be treated as regularly traded for any calendar year in which more than a *de minimis* quantity of the enGene common shares are traded on a qualified exchange on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. Nasdaq, where the enGene common shares are listed, is a qualified exchange for this purpose.

Such electing U.S. Holder generally will include for each of its taxable years as ordinary income the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its enGene common shares at the end of such year over its adjusted basis in its

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
enGene common shares. The U.S. Holder also will recognize an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of its adjusted basis of its enGene common shares over the fair market value of its enGene common shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. Holder's basis in its enGene common shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. Any gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of its enGene common shares will be treated as ordinary income, and any loss will be treated as an ordinary loss (but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election, with any excess treated as a capital loss). If a U.S. Holder makes the mark-to-market election, distributions paid on enGene common shares will not be subject to the interest charge rules and will instead be treated as discussed under "— *Taxation of Distributions"* above.

If made, a mark-to-market election will be effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and for all subsequent taxable years in which enGene is a PFIC, unless the enGene common shares cease to qualify as "regularly traded" on a "qualified exchange" for purposes of the PFIC rules or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election. If enGene ceases to be a PFIC when a U.S. Holder has a mark-to-market election in effect, gain or loss realized by such U.S. Holder on the sale of common shares will be a capital gain or loss and taxed in the manner described above under "*Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares*."

U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election with respect to enGene common shares under their particular circumstances (including the possible recognition of income or gain under the PFIC interest charge rules in the case that the mark-to-market election is not made for the first taxable year in which the U.S. Holders own (or are treated as owning) the enGene common shares).

*Other PFIC Rules* 

If enGene is a PFIC and, at any time, has a non-U.S. subsidiary that is a PFIC, a U.S. Holder generally would be deemed to own a proportionate amount of the shares of such lower-tier PFIC and generally could incur liability for the deferred tax and interest charge under the interest charge rules described above if enGene receives an excess distribution from, or disposes of all or part of its interest in, the lower-tier PFIC, or the U.S. Holder otherwise was deemed to have disposed of an interest in the lower-tier PFIC, in each case as if the U.S. Holder held such shares directly, even though the U.S. Holder will not receive any proceeds of that distribution or disposition. A mark-to-market election cannot be made with respect to a lower-tier PFIC. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax issues raised by lower-tier PFICs.

A U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. Holder may have to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a QEF or mark-to-market election is made) and to provide such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. Failure to do so, if required, will extend the statute of limitations applicable to such U.S. Holder until such required information is furnished to the IRS.

**THE RULES DEALING WITH PFICS ARE VERY COMPLEX AND ARE IMPACTED BY VARIOUS FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE. ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PFIC RULES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, WHETHER A QEF ELECTION (OR A QEF ELECTION ALONG WITH A PURGING ELECTION), A MARK-TO-MARKET ELECTION, OR ANY OTHER ELECTION IS AVAILABLE AND THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ANY SUCH ELECTION, AND THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL PFIC TREASURY REGULATIONS.**

***Information Reporting and Backup Withholding***

Dividend payments (including constructive dividends) with respect to enGene common shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of enGene common shares may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible United States backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24 percent). Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number (generally on an IRS Form W-9 provided to the relevant paying agent) and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status if required to do so. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or credit against a holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

In addition, certain U.S. Holders holding specified foreign financial assets with an aggregate value in excess of the applicable dollar thresholds are required to report information to the IRS relating to enGene common shares or the non-U.S. financial accounts through which they are held, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for enGene common shares held in accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions), by attaching a complete IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) with their tax return for each year in which they hold enGene common shares.

**CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS** 

The following is a general summary of certain Canadian federal income tax considerations under the *Income Tax Act* (Canada) and the regulations thereunder (collectively, the "Tax Act") generally applicable to the holding and disposition of Common Shares of enGene Holdings Inc. which are referred to in this section as the "Common Shares").

Comment is restricted to beneficial owners of Common Shares each of whom, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention, (a) holds such Common Shares as capital property, (b) deals at arm's length with the Company, (c) is not affiliated with the Company, (d) is neither resident in Canada nor deemed to be resident in Canada, (e) does not use or hold (and is not deemed to use or hold) the Common Shares in the course of carrying on, or otherwise in connection with, a business in Canada, (f) acquires the Common Shares pursuant to this prospectus supplement, and (g) has not entered into a "derivative forward agreement", "synthetic equity arrangement" or "synthetic disposition arrangement" (each as defined in the Tax Act) with respect to the Common Shares (a "Non-Canadian Resident Holder").

Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Canadian Resident Holder that is an "authorized foreign bank" as defined in the Tax Act, or an insurer carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere. Such Non-Canadian Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to an investment in the Common Shares.

Generally, a Non-Canadian Resident Holder's Common Shares will be considered to be capital property of such holder provided that the Non-Canadian Resident Holder is not a trader or dealer in securities, did not acquire, hold, or dispose of the Common Shares in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade (i.e., speculation) and does not hold the Common Shares in the course of carrying on a business.

This summary assumes that, at all relevant times, enGene Holdings Inc. is a resident of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention.

This summary is based on the facts set out in this prospectus supplement, the provisions of the Tax Act in force as of the date prior to the date hereof, the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980) as amended (the "Treaty") and counsel's understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the "CRA") published in writing by the CRA prior to the date hereof. This summary

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the "Tax Proposals") and assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed, although no assurance can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in their current form or at all.

This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or in the administrative policies or assessing practices of the CRA, whether by way of judicial, legislative or governmental decision or action. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and does not take into account other federal or any provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations, which may differ materially from those described in this summary.

**This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Non-Canadian Resident Holder, and no representations concerning the tax consequences to any particular Non-Canadian Resident Holder are made. The tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the Common Shares will vary according to the Non-Canadian Resident Holder's particular circumstances. Non-Canadian Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax considerations applicable to them having regard to their particular circumstances.** 

**Currency Conversion** 

In general, for purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of Common Shares must be converted into Canadian dollars based on the relevant exchange rate as determined in accordance with the Tax Act.

**Adjusted Cost Base of Common Shares** 

The adjusted cost base to a Non-Canadian Resident Holder of a Common Share acquired pursuant to this prospectus supplement will be determined by averaging the cost of that Common Share with the adjusted cost base (determined immediately before the acquisition of the Common Share) of all other Common Shares held as capital property by the Non-Canadian Resident Holder immediately prior to such acquisition.

**Dividends on Common Shares** 

Dividends paid or credited (or deemed to be paid or credited) on a Common Share to a Non-Canadian Resident Holder by enGene Holdings Inc. will generally be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25%, subject to a reduction of such rate under the terms of an applicable income tax treaty or convention. For example, in the case of a Non-Canadian Resident Holder who is a resident of the United States for purposes of the Treaty, who is the beneficial owner of the dividend, and who qualifies for full benefits of the Treaty, the rate of such withholding tax will generally be reduced to 15% (or 5% if the beneficial owner of such dividend is a corporation that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of enGene Holdings Inc.). Non-Canadian Resident Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine their entitlement to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention.

**Dispositions of Common Shares** 

A Non-Canadian Resident Holder generally will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of a capital gain, or entitled to deduct any capital loss, realized on the disposition or deemed disposition of a Common Share (other than a disposition of Common Shares to enGene Holdings Inc., which may result in a deemed dividend, unless purchased by enGene Holdings Inc. in the open market in the manner in which Common Shares are normally purchased by any member of the public in the open market, in which case other considerations may arise) unless the Common Share constitutes (or is deemed to constitute) "taxable Canadian property" of such Non-Canadian Resident Holder for purposes of the Tax Act at the time of disposition, and the gain is not exempt from tax pursuant to the terms of an applicable income tax treaty or convention.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Provided the Common Shares are listed on a "designated stock exchange" as defined in the Tax Act (which currently includes the Nasdaq) at the time of disposition, the Common Shares generally will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Non-Canadian Resident Holder unless, at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the disposition the following two conditions are met concurrently: (i) 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of enGene Holdings Inc. were owned by or belonged to one or any combination of (a) the Non-Canadian Resident Holder, (b) persons with whom the Non-Canadian Resident Holder did not deal at arm's length, and (c) partnerships in which the Non-Canadian Resident Holder or a person described in (b) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships; and (ii) more than 50% of the fair market value of the Common Shares was derived, directly or indirectly, from one or any combination of (a) real or immovable property situated in Canada, (b) "Canadian resource property" (as defined in the Tax Act), (c) "timber resource property" (as defined in the Tax Act), or (d) options in respect of, interests in, or for civil law rights in, such properties, whether or not such property exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Common Share may be deemed to be taxable Canadian property in certain circumstances specified in the Tax Act.

If the Common Shares are taxable Canadian property of a Non-Canadian Resident Holder, any capital gain realized on the disposition or deemed disposition of such Common Shares may not be subject to tax under the Tax Act pursuant to the terms of an applicable income tax treaty or convention. Non-Canadian Resident Holders whose Common Shares may constitute taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors.

risk of ownership of common shares, or of options or warrants to common shares, or securities or rights exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into common shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration under the Securities Act of the
offer and sale of any common shares, or of options or warrants to common shares or securities or rights exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into common shares, or cause to be filed a registration statement, prospectus or prospectus

**Stabilization** 

The underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in short sale transactions, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids in connection with this offering. These activities may have the effect of stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the common shares at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Establishing short sales positions may involve either "covered" short sales or "naked" short sales.

"Covered" short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters' option to purchase additional common shares in this offering. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional common shares or purchasing common shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out 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 shares through the option to purchase additional shares.

"Naked" short sales are sales in excess of the option to purchase additional common shares. The underwriters must close out any 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 shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.

A stabilizing bid is a bid for the purchase of common shares on behalf of the underwriters for the purpose of fixing or maintaining the price of the common shares. A syndicate covering transaction is the bid for or the purchase of common shares on behalf of the underwriters to reduce a short position incurred by the underwriters in connection with the offering. Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriter's purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common shares or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common shares. As a result, the price of our common shares may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. A penalty bid is an arrangement permitting the underwriters to reclaim the selling concession otherwise accruing to a syndicate member in connection with the offering if the common shares originally sold by such syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction and therefore have not been effectively placed by such syndicate member.

Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common shares. The underwriters are not obligated to engage in these activities and, if commenced, any of the activities may be discontinued at any time.

The underwriters may also engage in passive market making transactions in our common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of the common shares in this offering and extending through the completion of distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker's bid, that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.

**Electronic Distribution** 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in electronic format may be made available by e-mail or on the web sites or through online services maintained by one or more of the underwriters or their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms online and may be allowed to place orders online. The underwriters may agree with us to allocate a specific number of common shares for sale to

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
online brokerage account holders. Any such allocation for online distributions will be made by the underwriters on the same basis as other allocations. Other than this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in electronic format, the information on the underwriters' web sites and any information contained in any other web site maintained by any of the underwriters is not part of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, have not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the underwriters and should not be relied upon by investors.

**Other Activities and Relationships** 

The underwriters and certain of their affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The underwriters and certain of their affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various commercial and investment banking and financial advisory services for us and our affiliates, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses. For example, on December 20, 2024, we entered into the Open Market Sale Agreement<sup>sm</sup> with Jefferies LLC pursuant to which we may offer and sell our common shares from time to time through Jefferies LLC acting as our sales agent.

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and certain of their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments issued by us and our affiliates. If the underwriters or their respective affiliates have a lending relationship with us, they routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities or the securities of our affiliates, including potentially the common shares offered hereby. Any such short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the common shares offered hereby. The underwriters and certain of their respective affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

**ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS** 

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") using a "shelf" registration process under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

Before investing in our securities, you should carefully read this entire prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, including the information under the caption "Risk Factors" herein and the applicable prospectus supplement and under similar headings in the other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on file with the SEC and any amendments thereto.

**The Company** 

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing gene therapies to improve the lives of patients. We are developing non-viral gene therapies based on our novel and proprietary dually derived chitosan, or "DDX", gene delivery platform, which allows localized delivery of multiple gene cargos directly to mucosal tissues and other organs. We believe our DDX platform, with its broad tissue and disease application, has the potential to take gene therapy beyond rare genetic diseases into oncology and other underserved therapeutic areas. We have established integrated capabilities with this platform to support the clinical development and potential commercialization of our gene therapies.

Our lead product candidate, detalimogene voraplasmid, (also known as detalimogene, and previously EG-70), which is comprised of three gene cargos delivered via our proprietary DDX platform, is a therapy designed to generate a local immune reaction in proximity to tumors. We believe this enables the immune system to reduce or clear the tumor and develop memory to resist recurrence. Because this treatment does not need to deliver the therapeutic gene directly into tumor cells, it is applicable to many tumor types. We are currently developing detalimogene as a monotherapy to treat non-muscle invasive bladder cancer ("NMIBC") with carcinoma in situ ("Cis") in patients that have been unresponsive to treatment with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin, or "BCG," or what is referred to as "BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with Cis."

In NMIBC, carcinoma in situ, or Cis, is a flat, high-grade, sessile tumor that has a high likelihood of invading the deeper layers of the bladder wall. A "high-" or "low-" tumor risk describes the degree to which the tumor pathology appears more likely to grow quickly and invade non-cancerous tissue. NMIBC with Cis is typically initially treated with a solution containing the bacterium BCG that is instilled into the bladder multiple times over the course of several months. Despite this treatment, many of these cancers recur and are unresponsive to additional BCG, allowing the cancer to spread throughout and deeper into the bladder and often requiring surgical removal of the bladder (radical cystectomy). We believe BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with Cis is currently an underserved therapeutic segment with limited treatment options, and that there is a market opportunity for detalimogene as a monotherapy for this condition. While the potential market for detalimogene may not be limited to these patients, that is our current initial focus in working to bring detalimogene to market.

**Stock Exchange Listing** 

Our common shares and warrants are listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbols "ENGN" and "ENGNW", respectively.

**Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company** 

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act") exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected to opt out of such extended transition period.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of FEAC's IPO, which occurred on December 14, 2021, (b) in which we have total annual revenue of at least $1.23 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year's second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to "emerging growth company" have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Additionally, we are a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our common shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior April 30, or (2) our annual revenues exceed $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our common shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior April 30. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparison of our financial reporting with that of other public companies difficult or impossible.

**Recent Developments** 

On October 29, 2024, we completed the private placement of 6,758,311 Common Shares (the "Subscribed Shares"), at a price of $8.90 per share (the "October 2024 PIPE Financing") with certain institutional investors (the "October 2024 PIPE Investors") pursuant to subscription agreements entered into on October 24, 2024 (collectively, the "October 2024 Subscription Agreements").

We intend to use the net proceeds from the October 2024 PIPE Financing of $56.3 million, which reflects the gross proceeds of approximately $60.1 million, less offering expenses to fund the continued development of detalimogene, pre-commercial activities, the potential expansion of the DDX platform, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Pursuant to the October 2024 Subscription Agreements, we agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC within 20 business days after the closing of the October 2024 PIPE Financing for purposes of registering for resale the Subscribed Shares, to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective and kept effective for the periods set forth in the October 2024 Subscription Agreements.

genetic medicines to mucosal tissues.

While the staggered board provisions apply, at every annual general meeting and in every unanimous shareholder resolution in lieu thereof, all of the directors whose terms expire shall cease to hold office immediately before the election or appointment of directors, but are eligible for re-election or re-appointment. The shareholders entitled to vote at the annual general meeting for the election of directors may elect, or in a unanimous resolution appoint, the number of directors required to fill any vacancies created. The directors will hold office for the applicable terms contemplated in the staggered board provisions. Upon resignations of a director, the remaining directors may fill the casual vacancy resulting from such resignation for the remainder of the unexpired term.

The staggering of directors will make it more difficult for shareholders to change the composition of the enGene Board. The Articles provide that, the number of directors shall be no less than three and no greater than 10, and may be fixed by the enGene Board from time to time, in accordance with the Articles.

**Preferred Shares** 

We may issue an unlimited number of preferred shares from time to time in one or more series. The terms of each series of pre ferred shares, including the number of shares, the designation, rights, preferences, privileges, priorities, restrictions, conditions and limitations, will be determined at the time of creation of each such series by our board of directors, without shareholder approval, provided that all preferred shares will rank equally within their class as to dividends and distributions in the event of our dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

These terms may include provisions as to whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option, and may include provisions pursuant to which the number of common shares or other securities to be received by the holders of such series of debt securities would be subject to adjustment.

To the extent any debt securities are convertible into common shares or other securities, prior to such conversion the holders of such debt securities will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities into which the debt securities are convertible, including the right to receive payments of dividends or the right to vote such underlying securities.

**DESCRIPTION OF UNITS** 

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of units to which any prospectus supplement may relate.

We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued, if any, may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

The applicable prospectus supplement may describe:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under
what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities
comprising the units; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the units will be issued in fully registered or global form.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any units. The preceding description and any description of units in the applicable prospectus supplement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the unit agreement and, if applicable, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements relating to such units.

**U.S. AND CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS** 

The applicable prospectus supplement may describe certain Canadian federal income tax consequences to an investor who is a non-resident of Canada of the ownership and disposition of any of our securities offered thereunder.

The applicable prospectus supplement may also describe certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of any of our securities offered thereunder by an initial investor who is a U.S. person (within the meaning of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code), including, to the extent applicable, such consequences relating to debt securities payable in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, issued at an original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes or containing early redemption provisions or other special items.

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION** 

We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus for cash or other consideration (i) to or through underwriters, dealers, placement agents or other intermediaries, (ii) directly to one or more purchasers or (iii) in connection with acquisitions of assets or shares or another entity or company.

Each prospectus supplement with respect to our securities being offered will set forth the terms of the offering, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or other placement agents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number and the purchase price of, and form of consideration for, the securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the proceeds to the Company from such sale; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any commissions, fees, discounts and other items constituting underwriters', dealers' or
agents' compensation.

The securities may be sold, from time to time, in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on the Nasdaq or other existing trading markets for the securities. The prices at which the securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution. If, in connection with the offering of securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters have made a bona fide effort to sell all of the securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable prospectus supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial offering price fixed in such prospectus supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the securities is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters to us.

Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are deemed to be underwriters in connection with our securities offered by that prospectus supplement.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
We may agree to pay the underwriters or agents a commission for various services relating to the issue and sale of any securities offered hereby. Where we pay such commission, it will be paid out of the general corporate funds of the Company.

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the securities may be entitled to, under agreements to be entered into with us, indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

No underwriter or dealer involved in an "at-the-market distribution," no affiliate of such underwriter or dealer and no person acting jointly or in concert with such underwriter or dealer has over-allotted, or will over-allot, our securities in connection with an offering of the securities or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize the market price of our securities.

In connection with any offering of our securities, other than an "at-the-market distribution," the underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of our securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. Each prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of such transactions.

In compliance with the guidelines of FINRA, the aggregate maximum discount, commission or agency fees or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker dealer will not exceed 8% of any offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be; however, it is anticipated that the maximum commission or discount to be received in any particular offering of securities will be less than this amount.

**General Information** 

Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of our securities may be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act, and any discounts or commissions they receive and any profit they make on the resale of the offered securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Any underwriters or agents will be identified and their compensation described in a prospectus supplement. We may indemnify agents, underwriters, and dealers against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or make contributions to payments they may be required to make relating to those liabilities. Our agents, underwriters, and dealers, or their affiliates, may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

Each series of securities offered by this prospectus may be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters to whom securities offered by this prospectus are sold by us for public offering and sale may make a market in the securities offered by this prospectus, but the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for any securities offered by this prospectus.

Representatives of the underwriters through whom our securities are sold for public offering and sale may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, syndicate short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves syndicate sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a syndicate short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the offered securities so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the offered securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. Penalty bids permit the representative of the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the offered securities

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
originally sold by such syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Such stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the offered securities to be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of such transactions. These transactions may be effected on a national securities exchange and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for, us and our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.

We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the securities as well as the expense of all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sales of any of our securities by us.

In addition, some of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons' assets may be located outside the United States. As a result, it could be difficult or impossible for you to effect service of process on these individuals in the United States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under applicable securities laws or otherwise or to enforce in the United States judgments obtained in U.S. courts against us or those persons based on civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws.
