Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 11, 2026, Xilio Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Leerink Partners LLC, as representative of the underwriter named therein (the “Underwriter”), relating to an underwritten offering (the “Offering”) of pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 74,780,300 shares of common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at a price to investors of $0.5349 per Pre-Funded Warrant. Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. All of the Pre-Funded Warrants are being sold by the Company.

The Company estimates that it will receive net proceeds from the Offering of approximately $37.1 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

The Pre-Funded Warrants will be issued pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-3 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 11, 2025, as amended on May 6, 2025, and declared effective by the SEC on May 8, 2025 (File No. 333-285703), and the final prospectus supplement that was filed with the SEC on February 12, 2026. The closing of the Offering is expected to take place on or about February 13, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The exercisability of the Pre-Funded Warrants is subject to limitations on exercise. A holder will be prohibited from exercising any portion of any Pre-Funded Warrant if immediately prior to or following such exercise such holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or up to 19.99% at the election of the holder) of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrant. However, any holder of any Pre-Funded Warrant may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99%, provided that any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after notice from the holder is delivered to the Company.

Each Pre-Funded Warrant will have an exercise price per share of common stock equal to $0.0001 per share and will be immediately exercisable. The exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants are subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the common stock, as well as upon certain pro rata distributions to the Company’s stockholders for no consideration. The exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrants will not be adjusted below the par value of the Company’s common stock.

In the event of certain fundamental transactions, each holder of the Pre-Funded Warrants has the right to receive, upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as such holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such fundamental transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such fundamental transaction, the holder of the number of shares of common stock underlying such holder’s Pre-Funded Warrant without regard to any limitations on exercise contained in the Pre-Funded Warrants.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and 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, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Underwriting Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Pre-Funded Warrants do not purport to be complete and each is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement and the form of Pre-Funded Warrant, respectively, which are filed as Exhibit 1.1 and Exhibit 4.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.


The legal opinion of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, counsel to the Company, relating to the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrant Shares is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
