As previously announced, Sensei Biotherapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) will hold its 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (“Annual Meeting”) of the Company on June 10, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, unless postponed or adjourned to a later date. At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to approve, among other things, the issuance of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“common stock”), of the Company upon conversion of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per shares (“Series B Preferred Stock”), which will (a) represent more than 20% of the shares of common stock outstanding and (b) result in the change of control of the Company pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a) and 5635(b), respectively. In connection with the Annual Meeting, the Company is filing unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, presenting the historical consolidated financial position of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, adjusted to give effect to the conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of common stock.
The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information, including the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 15, 2026. Such unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of the Company’s financial condition following the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock for several reasons. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information has been derived from the historical unaudited financial statements of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding the Company after giving effect to the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. The information upon which these adjustments and assumptions have been made is preliminary, and these kinds of adjustments and assumptions are difficult to make with accuracy. Moreover, the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information does not reflect all costs that are expected to be incurred by the Company in connection with the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. As a result, the actual financial condition of the Company following the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock may not be consistent with, or evident from, the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information. The assumptions used in preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect the Company’s financial condition following the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. For more information, please see Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
For more information regarding the Annual Meeting, please refer to the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement, filed with the SEC on April 27, 2026.
