Item 5.03

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On October 13, 2022, the entity formerly known as Zymeworks Inc., a corporation continued under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“Legacy Zymeworks”), filed a Notice of Alteration with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies to change its name to “Zymeworks BC Inc.,” effective October 13, 2022. The name change was made in connection with the closing of the previously reported redomicile transactions (the “Redomicile Transactions”) pursuant to which Legacy Zymeworks became a subsidiary of a new ultimate parent company named Zymeworks Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as Zymeworks Delaware Inc. A copy of the Notice of Alteration and the amended Notice of Articles reflecting the name change are included as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 8.01

Other Events.

On October 13, 2022, following Legacy Zymeworks’ request in connection with the Redomicile Transactions, the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) filed notifications on Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to remove from listing on the NYSE and registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), both Legacy Zymeworks’ common shares and preferred share purchase rights. Legacy Zymeworks expects to file Forms 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration of its common shares and preferred share purchase rights under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and to suspend its duty to file reports required by Section 15(d) the Exchange Act.
