• Debt Facility Expanded to $400 Million

  The company amended its Loan and Security Agreement, expanding the total debt facility with Hercules Capital to an aggregate of up to $400 million. This includes two new $50 million tranches and a $25 million increase to the final tranche.

• Immediate $50 Million Borrowing

  Dyne Therapeutics immediately borrowed one of the additional loan tranches, receiving $50 million on June 16, 2026. This brings the total outstanding principal under the Loan Agreement to $200 million.

• Increased Financial Flexibility

  The amendment also modified the minimum cash covenant, delaying the initial testing date and reducing the required minimum cash from 60% to 40% of outstanding obligations. An additional $125 million is available subject to milestones, and $75 million is available with lender approval.

• Non-Dilutive Capital

  This financing is debt-based, providing capital without immediate dilution to existing shareholders, which is particularly beneficial following the recent shareholder approval to increase authorized common stock.

Dyne Therapeutics has significantly bolstered its financial position by expanding its senior secured term loan facility. The immediate borrowing of $50 million, coupled with the potential for an additional $150 million, provides crucial non-dilutive capital. This extends the company's cash runway beyond the previously reported Q1 2028 and offers greater flexibility for its ongoing clinical programs, reducing near-term financing risk.
