Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 24, 2026, Taysha Gene Therapies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters set forth therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), to issue and sell 32,500,001 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), and, in lieu of common stock to certain investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase 833,333 shares of its Common Stock, in an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-291244) (the “Registration Statement”) and a related prospectus and prospectus supplement, in each case filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The offering price to the public is $6.00 per share of Common Stock and $5.999 per pre-funded warrant, which is the price to the public of each share of Common Stock sold in the Offering, minus the $0.001 exercise price per pre-funded warrant. The Underwriters have agreed to purchase the shares and the pre-funded warrants from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $5.64 per share and $5.639 per pre-funded warrant, respectively. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriters an option to purchase, for a period of 30 days, up to an additional 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $187.4 million, or approximately $215.6 million if the Underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, in each case after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on June 26, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

Each pre-funded warrant will have an initial exercise price per share of $0.001, subject to certain adjustments. The pre-funded warrants may be exercised at any time until exercised in full, except that a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any pre-funded warrant, which, upon giving effect to such exercise would cause (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to or after giving effect to the exercise, or (ii) the combined voting power of the Company’s securities beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as the case may be, of the combined voting power of all of the Company’s securities then outstanding immediately prior to or after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the pre-funded warrants, subject to such holder’s rights under the pre-funded warrant to increase or decrease such percentage to another percentage not in excess of 19.99% upon 61 days’ prior notice from such holder to the Company.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements by the Company, 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.

Copies of the Underwriting Agreement and form of pre-funded warrant are filed as Exhibit 1.1 and 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement and the form of pre-funded warrant are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits. A copy of the opinion of Cooley LLP as to the legality of the issuance and sale of the securities in the Offering and related consent is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
