The shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants were issued and sold to the selling stockholders in a private placement (the "**Private Placement**") pursuant to a securities purchase agreement among us and such selling stockholders dated May 23, 2025 (the "**Purchase Agreement**"). We are registering the Shares being offered hereunder pursuant to such Purchase Agreement on behalf of the selling stockholders, to be offered and sold by them from time to time.

The registration of the Shares covered by this prospectus does not mean that the selling stockholders will offer or sell any of the Shares. Sales of the Shares by the selling stockholders may occur at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may sell Shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders, the purchasers of the Shares, or both. We are paying the cost of registering the Shares covered by this prospectus as well as various related expenses. The selling stockholders will bear all fees, discounts, concessions or commissions of broker-dealers or agents, and any other expenses incurred in connection with the offering of the Shares by the selling stockholders. See "*Plan of Distribution*" beginning on page 13 of this prospectus for more information about how the selling stockholders may sell their Shares. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "ORIC."

We are an "emerging growth company" and a "smaller reporting company" as defined under the federal securities laws, and, as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this and future filings.

Before investing in our securities, you should carefully read this entire prospectus, including the matters set forth in the section titled "Risk Factors" and the financial statements and related notes and other information that we incorporate by reference herein, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

**Company Overview** 

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving patients' lives by*<u>O</u>vercoming <u>R</u>esistance <u>I</u>n <u>C</u>ancer*.

Our fully integrated discovery and development team is advancing a diverse pipeline of innovative clinical and discovery stage therapies designed to counter resistance mechanisms in cancer by leveraging our expertise within three specific areas: hormone-dependent cancers, precision oncology and key tumor dependencies.

Our clinical stage product candidates include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ORIC-944, an allosteric inhibitor of the polycomb repressive complex 2
(" **PRC2**") via the embryonic ectoderm development subunit, for which we licensed development and commercialization rights from Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. with a license agreement. We filed and cleared an Investigational New Drug
(" **IND**") with the Food and Drug Administration ()"**FDA**") for ORIC-944 in the fourth quarter of 2021. We completed a Phase 1b trial of ORIC-944 as a single-agent, in patients with advanced prostate cancer and reported initial Phase 1b data from this trial in January 2024, demonstrating potential best-in-class drug properties, including an approximate 20-hour clinical half-life, robust target engagement and a favorable safety profile. In July 2024, we
announced that in the first half of 2024 we initiated dosing of ORIC-944 in combination with apalutamide as well as in combination with darolutamide, as part of the ongoing Phase 1b trial in patients with
metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer ()"**mCRPC** "). We also announced that we entered into clinical trial collaboration and supply agreements with Janssen Research & Development, LLC, a Johnson and Johnson company
(" **Johnson & Johnson**") and Bayer Consumer Care AG ()"**Bayer** "), to evaluate ORIC-944 in combination with Erleada<sup>®</sup> ()"**apalutamide** "), Johnson & Johnson's androgen receptor ()"**AR**") inhibitor and Nubeqa<sup>®</sup>
(" **darolutamide** "), Bayer's AR inhibitor. In January 2025, we reported early Phase 1b combination data from the dose escalation cohort of ORIC-944 in combination with 240 mg
(" **QD**") apalutamide in patients with mCRPC. We reported dose escalation data of ORIC-944 both in combination with apalutamide and in combination with darolutamide in May 2025, which we expect
will be followed by an additional update in the second half of 2025. We also expect to report dose optimization data in combination with AR inhibitor(s) in the fourth quarter of 2025 or first quarter of 2026. We expect to initiate our first Phase 3
trial for ORIC-944 in mCRPC in the first half of 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ORIC-114, a brain penetrant, orally bioavailable, irreversible inhibitor
that selectively targets epidermal growth factor receptor ()"**EGFR**") exon 20, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 ()"**HER2**") exon 20 and EGFR atypical mutations, for which we licensed development and
commercialization rights from Voronoi Inc. with a license and collaboration agreement. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we filed a Clinical Trial Application ()"**CTA**") in South Korea for ORIC-114, which was cleared in the first quarter of 2022. We also filed and cleared an IND with the FDA for ORIC-114 in the third quarter of 2022. We are enrolling a Phase 1b trial of ORIC-114 as a single-agent, in patients

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
with advanced solid tumors with EGFR and HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations, EGFR atypical mutations or HER2 amplifications, which allows enrollment of patients with central nervous system metastases that are either treated or untreated but asymptomatic. We reported initial Phase 1b data from this trial at the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress in October 2023, which demonstrated both systemic and intracranial activity across multiple dose levels in a heavily pre-treated patient population. In April 2024, we announced the selection of two provisional recommended Phase 2 dose levels of ORIC-114 at 80 mg and 120 mg daily QD. We expect to report a comprehensive data update during the second half of 2025 that will include ORIC-114 in the first-line EGFR exon 20 monotherapy cohort, the 2L+ EGFR atypical cohort and cohorts for 2L EGFR exon 20 and 2L+ HER2 exon 20. In January 2025, we announced that we entered into a clinical trial and supply agreement with Johnson & Johnson, to evaluate ORIC-114 in combination with subcutaneous amivantamab for the first line treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer ("**NSCLC**") with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations, and we initiated a Phase 1b trial in the first quarter of 2025. Initial data from this trial in addition to ORIC-114 data as a monotherapy in first-line EGFR atypical mutations are expected in mid-2026. We also expect to initiate Phase 3 trial(s) for ORIC-114 in first-line NSCLC in 2026, in EGFR exon 20, HER2 exon 20, and/or atypical EGFR mutations. Beyond these clinical stage product candidates, we are developing multiple discovery stage precision medicines targeting other hallmark cancer resistance mechanisms. <br>

**Private Placement** 

On May 23, 2025, in connection with the Private Placement, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with the selling stockholders named in this prospectus. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to prepare and file a registration statement for purposes of registering the resale of the Shares, to use our commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective within the time period set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and to keep such registration statement effective for up to two years.

At the closing of the Private Placement, on May 29, 2025 we sold and issued to certain of the selling stockholders (i) 14,130,313 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $6.50 per share and (ii) 5,100,532 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $6.4999 per share and an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The total purchase price paid by the selling stockholders in the Private Placement was approximately $125 million.

The offer and sale of the securities in the Private Placement were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Securities Act**"), or any state securities laws. We relied on an exemption from the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Each of the selling stockholders has represented to us that such selling stockholder is an "accredited investor," as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act, and that the securities purchased by such selling stockholder were being acquired solely for such selling stockholder's own account and for investment purposes and not with a view to its future sale or distribution.

The description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on May 28, 2025. See "*Where You Can Find More Information*" and "*Incorporation by Reference*." The representations, warranties and covenants made by us in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties thereto, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you. Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were made as of an earlier date. Accordingly, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of our affairs.

In addition, statements that "we believe" and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus, and although we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted a thorough inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus may contain market data that we obtain from industry sources. These sources do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information. Although we believe that our industry sources are reliable, we do not independently verify the information.

**SELLING STOCKHOLDERS** 

This prospectus relates to the possible resale by certain of our stockholders, who we refer to in this prospectus as the "selling stockholders," of up to 19,230,845 Shares, which consist of (i) 14,130,313 outstanding shares of our common stock held by the selling stockholders and (ii) 5,100,532 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of our common stock that are held by the selling stockholders. The pre-funded warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and will not expire. We cannot predict when or whether any of the selling stockholders will exercise their pre-funded warrants. See "*Prospectus Summary—Private Placement*."

The pre-funded warrants provide that a holder of pre-funded warrants does not have the right to exercise pre-funded warrants if such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately before or after giving effect to such exercise (the "**Beneficial Ownership Limitation**"); provided, however, that each holder may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation by giving notice to the company, but not in excess of 19.99%. Throughout this prospectus, when we refer to the shares of common stock being registered on behalf of the selling stockholders, we are referring to the outstanding shares of our common stock and the shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding pre-funded warrants without giving effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

The following table provides the names of the selling stockholders and the number of Shares offered by such selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders listed below have previously been granted registration rights with respect to the Shares offered hereby pursuant to that Purchase Agreement dated as of May 23, 2025, by and between us and the purchasers named therein. The Shares offered by this prospectus may be offered from time to time by the selling stockholders listed below. The selling stockholders are not obligated to sell any of their Shares offered by this prospectus, and reserve the right to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any proposed sale of Shares. The selling stockholders listed below may also offer and sell less than the number of Shares indicated. The selling stockholders are not making any representation that any Shares covered by this prospectus will or will not be offered for sale.

The number of Shares and percentages of beneficial ownership set forth below are based on 85,224,191 shares of our common stock outstanding as of May 29, 2025. Beneficial ownership is determined under the SEC rules and regulations and generally includes voting or investment power over securities. We have prepared the table based on information given to us by, or on behalf of, the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of the shares of common stock subject to this prospectus. See "*Plan of Distribution*" as may be supplemented and amended from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through dealers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through agents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• directly to purchasers; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through a combination of any of these methods of sale.

The selling stockholders, including their transferees, pledgees or donees or their respective successors, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their Shares or interests in Shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of Shares or interests therein:

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

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• privately negotiated transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared
effective by the SEC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange
or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such Shares at a stipulated
price per share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a combination of any such methods of sale; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other method permitted by applicable law.

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Shares, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the Shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling stockholders for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of Shares or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of our common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of the Shares offered by this prospectus, which Shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the pre-funded warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of such pre-funded warrants.

The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the Shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, or another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the Shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

To the extent required, the Shares to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of Shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the Shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the Shares offered by this prospectus.

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective and to remain continuously effective until the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement, (ii) such time as all of the Shares covered by this prospectus (A) have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with such registration statement or (B) become eligible for resale by non-affiliates without any volume limitations or other restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.
