Item 1.01.Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 23, 2026, uniQure N.V. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Leerink Partners LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 4,945,055 of the Company’s ordinary shares (the “Firm Shares”), at a price to the public of $45.50 per ordinary 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 (the “Option”), to purchase up to an additional 741,758 of the Company’s ordinary shares (the “Optional Shares” and together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”) at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On June 24, 2026, the Underwriters exercised the Option in full.

 

The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $242.7 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

The closing of the Offering is expected to take place on or about June 25, 2026, 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, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

 

A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 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 exhibits.
