Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 9, 2025, Dyne Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Jefferies LLC, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and Guggenheim Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 18,980,478 shares (the “Underwritten Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). All of the Underwritten Shares are being sold by the Company. The public offering price of the Underwritten Shares is $18.44 per share, and the Underwriters have agreed to purchase the Underwritten Shares from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $17.3336 per share. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, to purchase up to an additional 2,847,071 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares” and together with the Underwritten Shares, the “Shares”) at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $328.5 million, or approximately $377.9 million if the Underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase the Option Shares, in each case, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

The Shares will be issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated December 9, 2025, and an accompanying base prospectus that form a part of the registration statement on Form S-3 that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 5, 2024 (File No. 333-277655), which was automatically effective upon filing. The closing of the Offering is expected to take place on or about December 11, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants 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, 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.

A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

A copy of the legal opinion and consent of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP relating to the Shares is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Pricing of Public Offering

The full text of the press release issued on December 9, 2025, announcing the pricing of the Offering, is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Cash Runway

The Company believes that the net proceeds from the Offering, together with its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, including the second term loan tranche of $50.0 million that the Company borrowed under its Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), dated June 27, 2025, with Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”), in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain other financial institutions party thereto, as amended by the First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated December 8, 2025, will enable the Company to fund its operating expenses, debt service obligations and capital expenditure requirements into the first quarter of 2028. The Company has based its estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and the

Company could use its available capital resources sooner than it currently expects. This estimate does not give effect to any additional funding tranches the Company may obtain access to under the Loan Agreement with Hercules, subject to the achievement of specified clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones, and does not give effect to any revenue the Company may generate on commercial sales of any products for which the Company obtains regulatory approval.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the anticipated net proceeds from the Offering, the anticipated closing date of the Offering, the Company’s anticipated cash runway and the Company’s ability to achieve any of the specified clinical, regulatory or commercial milestones under its Loan Agreement with Hercules, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “should,” or “would,” or the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. The Company may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

In addition, the forward-looking statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K represent the Company’s views as of the date hereof.
