AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO SCHEDULE 13D
This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relates to Common Stock of Erasca, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” or the “Company”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is
3115 Merryfield Row, Suite 300, San Diego, California 92121. This Amendment is being filed by each of the Reporting Persons to amend the Schedule 13D that was filed on July 30, 2021, as amended on August 10, 2021 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”).
Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Schedule 13D.
This amendment is being filed to amend and supplement Item 5 of the Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
(a) and (b) See Items 7-13 on the cover pages.
(c) The Reporting Persons did not effect any transactions in the Company's Common Stock during the 60 day period prior to the filing of this Schedule 13D, other than a purchase of 307,692 shares of Common
Stock at a price of $6.50 per share in connection with an underwritten public offering by the Company, which closed on December 13, 2022.
The percentages reported herein with respect to the Reporting Persons' holdings are calculated based upon (i) a statement in the Company's Quarterly Report on form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 9, 2022, that there were 122,361,616 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 2, 2022; (ii) a statement in the Company's Current
Report on form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on December 9, 2022, that the Company issued 12,307,692 shares of Common Stock to Novartis Pharma AG on that date; (iii) a statement in a prospectus supplement, dated December 9, 2022, as filed with the SEC
on that date, that the Company was offering 15,384,616 shares of Common Stock in a public offering; and (iv) confirmation provided by the Company to the Reporting Persons that such offering closed on December 13, 2022.
Shares for which sole voting and dispositive power are reported for Ms. Chen represent shares currently issuable to Ms. Chen or issuable within 60 days of the filing of this Schedule
13D pursuant to stock options granted to her for service as a director of the Company.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.
SIGNATURE
