Other Events.

On May 11, 2021, the Board of Directors of BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) authorized and approved a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $150 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Stock repurchases under the program may be made from time to time, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions and otherwise, at the discretion of management of the Company and in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act, of 1934, as amended, and other applicable legal requirements. The timing, pricing and amounts of these repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Company’s common stock and general market and economic conditions. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements regarding purchases by the Company of its common stock. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond the Company’s control, including changes in price and volume and the volatility of the Company’s common stock; adverse developments affecting prices and trading of exchange-traded securities, including securities quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market; and unexpected or otherwise unplanned or alternative requirements with respect to the capital investments of the Company. The Company undertakes no intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
