Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 12, 2023, Bicycle Therapeutics plc (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Jefferies LLC and SVB Securities LLC (the “Representatives”), as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 9,411,766 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing one of the Company’s ordinary shares, nominal value £0.01 per share, and, in lieu of ADSs to investors that so choose, non-voting ordinary shares, nominal value £0.01 per share (“Non-Voting Ordinary Shares”), each at a public offering price of $21.25 per share (the “Offering”). The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering are expected to be approximately $187.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company also granted the Underwriters an option to purchase 1,411,764 additional ADSs at the public offering price.

The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-272248), which became effective upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 26, 2023, a base prospectus dated May 26, 2023 and the related prospectus supplement dated July 12, 2023. The Offering is expected to close on or about July 17, 2023, 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 (the “Securities Act”), 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 Company’s directors and executive officers have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell or transfer any ordinary shares (including ADSs representing ordinary shares) for 60 days, and the Company has agreed not to sell or transfer any ordinary shares or non-voting ordinary s
