Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 4, 2021, NGM Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a preliminary prospectus supplement (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”) to its effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-238991) (theRegistration Statement”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to an underwritten public offering of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Company included the following disclosure under the heading “Prospectus Supplement Summary—Financial Update” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement:

“Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 will not be available until after this offering is completed and consequently will not be available to you prior to investing in this offering. Based upon preliminary estimates and information available to us as of the date of this prospectus supplement, we expect to report that we had approximately $295 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities as of December 31, 2020. We have not yet completed our financial close process for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020. This estimate of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities as of December 31, 2020 is preliminary, has not been audited and is subject to change upon completion of our financial statement closing procedures and the audit of our consolidated financial statements. Additional information and disclosures would be required for a more complete understanding of our financial position and results of operations as of December 31, 2020.”

The information set forth in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Other Events.

Public Offering of Common Stock

On January 5, 2021, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Cowen and Company, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to the public offering, issuance and sale of 4,629,630 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”). The price to the public in the offering is $27.00 per share of Common Stock. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriters an option exercisable for 30 days to purchase up to an additional 694,444 shares of Common Stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The gross proceeds to the Company from the offering are expected to be approximately $125.0 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, or approximately $143.7 million if the Underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares. The offering is expected to close on January 8, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

The offering is being made pursuant to the Registration Statement and an accompanying prospectus previously filed with the SEC and a preliminary and final prospectus supplement thereunder. The Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto, and the description of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit. A copy of the opinion of Cooley LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the shares in the offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
