Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 13, 2025 Verastem, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with RGCM SA LLC, as Purchaser Agent, Oberland Capital Management LLC and certain funds managed by Oberland Capital Management LLC, as purchasers (the “Oberland Funds” and, together with other purchasers party thereto from time to time, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company may sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers may buy from the Company, notes (the “Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150.0 million, consisting of the following:

·

an initial sale of $75.0 million principal amount of Notes;

·

at the option of the Company, a second sale (the “Second Sale”) of $25.0 million principal amount of Notes, at any time prior to December 31, 2025, upon the United States Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) approval sufficient for the promotion and sale of avutometinib and defactinib for the treatment of low-grade serous ovarian cancer (“LGSOC”) and subject to certain other customary conditions precedent; and

·

at the option of the Company, a third sale (the “Third Sale”) of up to $50.0 million principal amount of Notes, at any time prior to December 31, 2026, provided that trailing six-month worldwide net sales of avutometinib and defactinib are at least $55.0 million and subject to certain other customary conditions precedent.

Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, on January 13, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company sold Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million and received net proceeds of approximately $32.3 million after repaying the balance of its obligations under the existing Oxford Loan Agreement (as defined below), but before payment of certain expenses payable by the Company.

The outstanding principal amount of the Notes bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of the Term SOFR (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) and 4.29%, and (ii) 3.71%, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement and an overall cap of 9.75%, payable quarterly in arrears until the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date or the date on which all amounts owing to the Purchasers under the Note Purchase Agreement have been paid in full (the “Maturity Date”). For the first eight (8) quarters following the Closing Date, at the Company’s option, up to 50% of the interest due may be paid-in-kind and added to the then-outstanding principal balance of the Notes. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) under the Note Purchase Agreement, the then-applicable interest rate on all outstanding obligations may be increased by an additional 5.00%.

Beginning on January 13, 2025 and continuing until the Maturity
