**SUMMARY** 

*This summary highlights information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference into this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our securities. You should read this entire prospectus and each applicable prospectus supplement carefully, including the "Risk Factors" section contained in this prospectus and in each applicable prospectus supplement, and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus and into each applicable prospectus supplement.* 

**Company Overview** 

We endeavor to become the leader in discovery, development, and commercialization of therapeutic agents capable of addressing significant unmet medical needs via the application of the silence and replace approach to the treatment of genetic disorders.

Benitec Biopharma Inc. ("Benitec" or the "Company" or in the first person, "we" or "our") is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the advancement of novel genetic medicines with headquarters in Hayward, California. The proprietary platform, called DNA-directed RNA interference, or ddRNAi, combines RNA interference, or RNAi, with gene therapy to create medicines that facilitate sustained silencing of disease-causing genes following a single administration. The unique therapeutic constructs also enable the simultaneous delivery of functional replacement genes, facilitating the proprietary "silence and replace" approach to the treatment of genetically defined diseases. The Company is developing a silence and replace-based therapeutic (BB-301) for the treatment of Oculopharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy (OPMD), a chronic, life-threatening genetic disorder.

BB-301 is a silence and replace-based genetic medicine currently under development by Benitec. BB-301 uses DNA-directed RNA interference (ddRNAi) to simultaneously silence the mutant gene and replace it with a functional gene, potentially providing a permanent solution with a single administration. This fundamental therapeutic approach to disease management is called "silence and replace." The silence and replace mechanism offers the potential to restore the normative physiology of diseased cells and tissues and to improve treatment outcomes for patients suffering from the chronic, and potentially fatal, effects of OPMD. BB-301 has been granted Orphan Drug Designation in the United States and the European Union and Fast Track Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

This differentiated platform, whereby we combine the gene-silencing effects of RNAi with the durable transgene expression achievable by using a single-vector approach provides the silence and replace approach with the potential to permanently silence the mutant gene that causes OPMD and deliver a healthy, functional gene in its place following a single administration of the proprietary genetic medicine. We believe that this novel mechanistic profile of the current and future investigational agents developed by Benitec could facilitate the achievement of robust and durable clinical activity while greatly reducing the frequency of drug administration traditionally expected for medicines employed for the management of chronic diseases. Additionally, the achievement of permanent gene silencing and gene replacement may significantly reduce the risk of patient non-compliance during the course of medical management of potentially fatal clinical disorders.

We will require additional financing to progress our product candidates through to key inflection points.

**Closing of Concurrent Underwritten and Registered Direct Offerings** 

On November 7, 2025, we closed the sale of (i) an aggregate of 5,930,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement with Leerink Partners LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC and Evercore Group L.L.C.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
(the "Underwriters"), as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (such offering, the "Underwritten Offering"), and (ii) an aggregate of 1,481,481 shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company, Averill Master Fund, Ltd. ("Averill") and Averill Madison Master Fund, Ltd. ("Averill Madison," and together with Averill, the "Selling Stockholders") (such offering, the "Registered Direct Offering," and together with the Underwritten Offering, the "Offerings"). The purchase price for each share of Common Stock sold in the Offerings was $13.50. Upon the closing of the Offerings, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $100 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. On December 8, 2025, we completed the sale of an additional 328,889 shares of Common Stock to the Underwriters at a price of $13.50 per share in satisfaction of the Underwriters' partial exercise of the 30-day option granted to them to purchase up to an additional 889,500 shares in the Underwritten Offering.

In connection with the closing of the Registered Direct Offering, on November 7, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with the Selling Stockholders, pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale the shares of Common Stock sold to the Selling Stockholders in the Registered Direct Offering.

**Corporate Information** 

We were incorporated as a Delaware corporation on November 22, 2019, and completed a re-domiciliation to Delaware on April 15, 2020. Our predecessor, Benitec Limited, was incorporated under the laws of Australia in 1995. Our stock is traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol "BNTC."

**RISK FACTORS** 

*Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, as well as those risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K , Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, together with all of the other information contained in this prospectus and incorporated by reference herein, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before deciding to invest in our securities. The risks and uncertainties described below and in the documents incorporated by reference herein are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that affect us. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.* 

**Risks Related to this Offering and our Common Stock** 

***An active trading market for our Common Stock may not be sustained, which may cause shares of our Common Stock to trade at a discount and make it difficult to sell shares of our Common Stock.***

Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "BNTC". However, we cannot assure you that an active trading market for our Common Stock will be sustained. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of the future the liquidity of any trading market for our Common Stock, your ability to sell your shares of our Common Stock when desired or the prices that you may obtain for your securities.

***A number of our stockholders hold significant amounts of our Common Stock and unexercised Warrants to acquire Common Stock, and therefore could exert significant influence over us.***

While our stockholder base and relative holdings may change over time, a number of institutional investors and similar stockholders currently hold significant ownership positions in our outstanding Common Stock and outstanding warrants to acquire Common Stock. In addition, Kishen Mehta, a Portfolio Manager at Suvretta Capital Management, LLC ("Suvretta") sits on our Board of Directors (the "Board"). Furthermore, as previously disclosed, in connection with the Company's registered direct offering completed on May 23, 2025, the Company discussed with Suvretta appointing David Friedman, managing director at Suvretta, to the Board. Any such appointment would be subject to approval by the Board and review by its Nominating and Governance Committee. Suvretta is the beneficial owner of 17,952,309 shares of Common Stock as of February 10, 2026, which includes shares underlying Pre-Funded Warrants which are subject to limitations on beneficial ownership, and cannot be exercised if Suvretta would beneficially own more than 49.9% of the total issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock following such issuance, and is therefore able to exert influence not only as a significant stockholder but also through Mr. Mehta's position on the Board.

The interests of these significant stockholders might not always coincide with the interests of other stockholders, and any influence exerted over our business and affairs by these significant stockholders directly or through an appointee to the Board might not always coincide with the wishes of other stockholders. In addition, the control and influence held by these significant stockholders might have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a transaction or change in control of us, which might involve a premium price for shares of our Common Stock, or which otherwise could have been in your best interests as a stockholder.

***Sales of a substantial amount of the Common Stock in the public markets may cause the market price of the Common Stock to decline.***

Sales of the shares registered for resale hereunder, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our Common Stock. The sale or possibility of sale of these shares could have the effect of increasing the volatility in the price of our Common

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Stock or the market price of our Common Stock could decline if the holders of shares of Common Stock sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. Moreover, the sale of shares issued in the Offerings, any announcement or other public disclosure regarding any sales should they occur, the perceived risk of such sales, and the resulting downward pressure on our share price as a result of the foregoing could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our Common Stock. By increasing the number of shares of Common Stock offered for sale as a result of this resale registration statement, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our Common Stock.

***The exercise of warrants to purchase our Common Stock would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.***

As of February 10, 2026, we had outstanding (i) pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 15,070,535 shares of our Common Stock and (ii) common warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,108,893 shares of our Common Stock. The likelihood that those warrants will be exercised increases if the trading price of shares of our stock exceeds the exercise price of the warrants (or the purchase price of the warrants). To the extent the warrants are exercised, additional shares of Common Stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of our stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of warrants in the public market or the potential that such warrants may be exercised could also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

***Provisions of our outstanding warrants could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.***

Certain provisions of our warrants could make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. Such warrants prohibit us from engaging in certain transactions constituting "fundamental transactions" unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the warrants. Further, certain of outstanding warrants provide that, in the event of certain transactions constituting "fundamental transactions," with some exception, holders of the warrants will have the right, at their option, to require us to repurchase such warrants at a price described in the warrants. These and other provisions of our outstanding warrants could prevent or deter a third party from acquiring us even where the acquisition could be beneficial to you.

*Liquidation Rights.* In the event of the Company's liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of the Company's common stock are entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of the Company's debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then outstanding shares of preferred stock.

*Rights and Preferences.* Holders of the Company's common stock have no pre-emptive, conversion, subscription or other rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Company's common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Company's common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that the Company may designate in the future.

*Fully Paid and Nonassessable*. All outstanding shares of the Company's common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*Annual Stockholder Meetings.* The Certificate and Bylaws provide that annual stockholder meetings will be held at a date, place (if any) and time, as exclusively selected by the Board. To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Company may but is not obligated to conduct meetings by remote communications, including by webcast.

**Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of the Certificate and Bylaws and DGCL** 

Some provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate and Bylaws could make the following transactions difficult: (i) acquisition of the Company by means of a tender offer; (ii) acquisition of the Company by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or (iii) removal of incumbent officers and directors of the Company. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in the best interests of the Company, including transactions that might result in a premium over the market price for the Company's common stock.

These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of the Company to first negotiate with the Board.

*Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute.* The Company is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibits persons deemed "interested stockholders" from engaging in a "business combination" with a publicly-held Delaware corporation for three years following the date these persons become interested stockholders unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. Generally, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation's voting stock, and a "business combination" includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the Board, such as discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the market price of the Company's common stock.

*Special Stockholder Meetings.* The Bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called by (i) the Chairman of the Board, if any, (ii) the President or Chief Executive Officer, or (iii) the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of directors then in office.

*Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals.* The Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors.

**Composition of the Board of Directors; Election and Removal of Directors; Filling Vacancies** 

The Company's Board may, from time to time, fix the authorized number of directors by resolution of the Board. The Board is divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Directors need not be stockholders of the Company.

Directors shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting of stockholders following the annual meeting of stockholders at which such director was elected. The term of each director shall continue until the election and qualification of his or her successor and be subject to his or her earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. Except as otherwise provided by the DGCL, the Certificate or the Bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by a duly authorized and executed proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Subject to applicable law or by the Certificate, any director of the entire Board of the Company may be removed without cause by the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of the Company's then-outstanding common stock entitled to vote generally at an election of directors. Furthermore, any vacancy on the Company's Board, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the size of the board, may be filled only by a majority vote of the Board then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director.

*Amendment of the Certificate and Bylaws.* The Certificate may be amended in any manner permitted under the DGCL and the Bylaws may be amended by the vote or written consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. The Board may also amend the Bylaws, other than a bylaw or amendment thereof specifying or changing a fixed number of directors or the maximum or minimum number or changing from a fixed to a variable board or vice versa.

**Limitations of Liability and Indemnification Matters** 

Each of the Certificate and Bylaws provide that the Company is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Delaware law. The Bylaws also obligates the Company to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision, from which there is no further right to appeal, that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.

To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, or any other applicable law, the Company, upon approval by the Board, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to the Bylaws.

**Forum for Adjudication of Disputes** 

The Certificate provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) derivative actions or proceedings brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or employee of the Company to the Company or the Company's stockholders, (iii) an action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be a state or federal court located within the state of Delaware. The Certificate further provides that the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION** 

Each Selling Stockholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

&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
securities 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;• settlement of short sales;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling
Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

&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;• a combination of any such methods of sale; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities 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 the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities 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 create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
