Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 1, 2026, MacroGenics, Inc. (the “Company”) and an entity affiliated with Sagard Healthcare Partners (“Sagard”) entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2025 (the “Royalty Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company previously sold to Sagard its right to receive royalties on global net sales of ZYNYZ (retifanlimab-dlwr) under the Company’s Global Collaboration and License Agreement dated as of October 24, 2017, as amended (the “License Agreement”), with Incyte Corporation. Under the terms of the First Amendment, the Company received an additional cash payment of $60.0 million from Sagard, bringing the aggregate purchase price under the Royalty Purchase Agreement to $130.0 million (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”). In exchange, the parties revised the capped royalty interest payable to Sagard on future global net sales of ZYNYZ, such that all royalty rights under the License Agreement will revert back to the Company once Sagard has received aggregate royalty payments of either 1.70x of the Aggregate Purchase Price by September 30, 2032, or 2.0x of the Aggregate Purchase Price at any time thereafter. In addition, pursuant to the First Amendment, the Company is eligible to receive an additional one-time milestone payment of up to $20.0 million, contingent upon ZYNYZ achieving specified calendar year 2026 net sales thresholds under the License Agreement. Any such milestone payment received by the Company will be added to the Aggregate Purchase Price for purposes of calculating the royalty payment cap. The Company continues to retain its other economic interests related to ZYNYZ, including future potential development, regulatory and commercial milestones.

The First Amendment contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions.

The foregoing description of the First Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment, which the Company intends to file as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Item 8.01Other Information

On May 4, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing entry into the amended Royalty Purchase Agreement. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.
