| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Agreement. |
Indenture and Notes
On June 3, 2026, Syndax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into privately negotiated subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors, pursuant to which the Company will issue $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, and the sale of the Notes is expected to close on June 10, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions (the “Private Placement”).
When issued pursuant to the Indenture, the Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will mature on June 15, 2031, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Interest on the Notes will accrue at a rate of 2.25% per year from June 10, 2026 and will be payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2026. The Notes will be convertible at the option of the noteholders at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 15, 2031, only upon satisfaction of one or more of the following conditions: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2026 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the Notes on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price (as defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Common Stock and the conversion rate for the Notes on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls such Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as will be set forth in the Indenture. On or after March 15, 2031, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, noteholders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at their option at any time, regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Company’s election, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions that will be provided in the Indenture.
The conversion rate for the Notes will initially be 40.3894 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $24.76 per share of Common Stock). The initial conversion price of the Notes represents a premium of approximately 35% over the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on June 3, 2026. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Indenture but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date of the Notes or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption in respect of the Notes, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate of the Notes for a noteholder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or notice of redemption, as the case may be.
The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to June 20, 2029. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes (subject to certain limitations), at the Company’s option, on a redemption date on or after June 20, 2029 if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund will be provided for the Notes.
If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), then, subject to certain conditions and limited exceptions, noteholders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
2
The Indenture will include customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default. The following events will be considered “events of default” under the Indenture:
| • | default in any payment of interest on any Note when due and payable, and the default continues for a period of 30 days; |
| • | default in the payment of principal of any Note when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon any optional redemption, upon any required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; |
| • | failure by the Company to comply with its obligation to convert the Notes in accordance with the Indenture upon exercise of a noteholder’s conversion right and such failure continues for three business days; |
| • | failure by the Company to give (i) a fundamental change notice or notice of a make-whole fundamental change (each as described in the Indenture), in either case when due and such failure continues for two business days, or (ii) notice of a specified corporate transaction (as described in the Indenture) when due and such failure continues for one business day; |
| • | failure by the Company to comply with its obligations in respect of any consolidation, merger or sale of assets; |
| • | failure by the Company to comply with any of the Company’s other agreements in the Notes or the Indenture for 60 days after receipt of written notice of such failure from the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; |
| • | default by the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed with a principal amount in excess of $25,000,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent), in the aggregate of the Company and/or any such significant subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity date or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal of any such indebtedness when due and payable (after the expiration of all applicable grace periods) at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, and in the cases of clauses (i) and (ii), such acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled or such failure to pay or default shall not have been cured or waived, or such indebtedness is not paid or discharged, as the case may be, within 45 days after written notice to the Company by the trustee or to the Company and the trustee by holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in accordance with the Indenture; |
| • | a final judgment or judgments for the payment of $25,000,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent) or more (excluding any amounts covered by insurance) in the aggregate rendered against the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries, which judgment is not discharged, bonded, paid, waived or stayed within 60 days after (i) the date on which the right to appeal thereof has expired if no such appeal has commenced, or (ii) the date on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished; and |
| • | certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or any of the Company’s significant subsidiaries. |
If certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related events of default occur with respect to the Company, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all of the then outstanding Notes shall automatically become due and payable. If an event of default, other than certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related events of default with respect to the Company, occurs and is continuing, the trustee, by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Company and the trustee, may declare 100% of the principal
3
of, and accrued interest on all the outstanding Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture provides that, to the extent the Company so elects, the sole remedy for an event of default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture will, for the first 365 days after the occurrence of such an event of default, consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Notes.
The Indenture provides that the Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the consolidated properties and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to, another person (other than any such sale, conveyance, transfer or lease to one or more of the Company’s direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries), unless: (i) the resulting, surviving or transferee person (if not the Company) is a qualified successor entity (as defined in the Indenture) (such qualified successor entity, the “successor entity”) organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and such successor entity (if not the Company) expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture; and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture.
A copy of the form of Subscription Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference (and the foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to such document).
Proceeds
The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Private Placement will be approximately $243 million, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and Private Placement expenses payable by the Company. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate purposes, including working capital, research and development expenditures, commercialization activity expenditures and business development expenditures.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 3.02 | Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities. |
The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company offered and sold the Notes to certain investors in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company relied on this exemption from registration based in part on representations made by each investor in the Subscription Agreements.
The Notes and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, if any, have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
To the extent that any shares of Common Stock are issued upon conversion of the Notes, they will be issued in transactions anticipated to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 3(a)(9) thereof as involving an exchange by the Company exclusively with its noteholders because no commission or other remuneration is expected to be paid in connection with conversion of the Notes and any resulting issuance of shares of Common Stock. Initially, a maximum of 13,631,400 shares of Common Stock may be issued upon conversion of the Notes based on the initial maximum conversion rate of 54.5256 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment provisions.

On June 4, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of the Notes. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Attention: General Counsel and Chief Financial Officer
| Re: | Subscription for Syndax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Syndax Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”), is offering a new series of its Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be convertible into cash, shares (“Underlying Shares”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Stock”), or a combination of cash and Underlying Shares, at the Company’s election, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture (as defined below).
The undersigned (the “Investor”), for itself and, on behalf of the accounts (if any) listed on Exhibit A hereto, for whom the Investor has been duly authorized to enter into the Subscription (each, including the Investor if it is listed on Exhibit A, a “Subscriber”), may subscribe for and purchase from the Company the Notes for cash (the “Subscription”) pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”). Each Subscriber (other than the Investor) is referred to herein as an “Account.”
The Investor and each Account understands that the Subscriptions are being made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any securities laws of any state of the United States or of any other jurisdiction, and that the Subscriptions are only being made to investors who are institutional “accredited investors” (within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act) that are also “qualified institutional buyers” (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in reliance upon an exemption from registration under [Section 4(a)(2)] [that are not U.S. persons (as defined in Rule 902(k) in an offering that complies with Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”)]. The Subscriptions are described in, and will be made pursuant to, the Indenture relating to the Notes (the “Indenture”) to be entered into as of the Closing Date (as defined below) between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), substantially in the form of the draft Indenture provided to Investor, as supplemented by the Pricing Term Sheet, dated as of the date hereof (the “Pricing Term Sheet” and, together with the Indenture, the “Transaction Documents”).
| 1. | The Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement, the Investor hereby agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Investor and/or any such Account, Notes having an aggregate principal amount as set forth in column 2 of Exhibit A hereto, for an aggregate purchase price in cash in respect of such Notes as set forth in column 3 of Exhibit A (such aggregate cash purchase price, the “Cash Purchase Price”). For the avoidance of doubt, such Cash Purchase Price shall not be adjusted for accrued interest if the Closing (as defined below) occurs after June 10, 2026. |
| 2. | The Closing. The closing of the Subscriptions (the “Closing”) shall take place electronically at 10:00 AM, New York City time, on June 10, 2026, or at such other time and place as the Company may designate by notice to the Investor (the “Closing Date”); provided that the Closing Date cannot be later than June 30, 2026 without the prior written consent of the Investor. |
| 3. | Closing Mechanics. |
| a. | The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) will act as securities depositary for the Notes. |
| b. | At or prior to the times set forth in the Subscription Procedures set forth in Exhibit B hereto (the “Subscription Procedures”), the Investor, on behalf of itself and/or any other Account, shall transfer the Cash Purchase Price by wire in immediately available funds to the account of the Company designated in the Subscription Procedures. |
| c. | On the Closing Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Section 6 hereof, and the prior receipt by the Company of the Cash Purchase Price from the Investor on behalf of each Subscriber, the Company shall (i) execute and deliver the Indenture, dated as of the Closing Date, between the Company and the Trustee and (ii) execute, cause the Trustee to authenticate and cause to be delivered to the DTC account(s) specified by the Investor or the relevant Account in Exhibit C hereto, the Notes. |
All questions as to the form of all documents and the validity and acceptance of the Notes will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding.
| 4. | Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Investor (and each Account, as applicable) that: |
| a. | Organization. The Company is duly organized and is validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware. |
| b. | Due Authorization. This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company. |
| c. | Notes. The Notes have been duly authorized by the Company and, when duly executed by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, assuming due authentication of the Notes by the Trustee, upon delivery to the Investors in accordance with the terms of the Subscription will be validly issued and delivered and will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) (collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”). The maximum number of Underlying Shares initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes (assuming settlement in shares of Stock to the maximum extent permitted by the Indenture and taking into account the maximum make-whole adjustment under the Indenture) have been duly and validly authorized and reserved for by the Company and, when issued upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of any Underlying Shares will not be subject to any preemptive, participation, rights of first refusal or similar rights. At or prior to the Closing, a notice for the listing of additional shares covering the Underlying Shares shall have been submitted to the Nasdaq Global Select Market. |
| d. | Indenture. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to perform its obligations under the Indenture. The Indenture has been duly authorized by the Company, and will have been duly executed and delivered by the Company at or prior to the Closing. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee, the Indenture, upon execution and delivery thereof by the Company, will constitute the valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. |
2
| e. | Exemption from Registration. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investor and each other investor executing a subscription agreement in substantially the same form as this Subscription Agreement, (1) the issuance of the Notes in connection with the Subscription pursuant to this Subscription Agreement is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; and (2) the Indenture is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. |
| f. | New Class. The Notes, when issued, will not be of the same class as securities listed on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or quoted in a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system, within the meaning of Rule 144A(d)(3)(i) under the Securities Act. |
| g. | No Conflicts. The issuance of the Notes pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the execution, delivery and performance, as applicable, by the Company of its obligations under the Notes, the Indenture and each Subscription Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, impose any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or its subsidiaries, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, license, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws or similar organizational document of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or arbitrator or federal, state, local or foreign governmental agency or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the properties or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their properties or assets, except, with respect to clauses (i) and (iii), conflicts, breaches, violations, impositions or defaults that would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, properties or business of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or a material adverse effect on the performance by the Company of its obligations under any Subscription Agreement, the Indenture or the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. |
| h. | Solvency. On each of the date hereof and immediately after giving effect to the Subscriptions on the Closing Date, (A) the present fair market value (or present fair saleable value) of the total assets of Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole is not less than the total amount required to pay the probable total liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole as they mature and become absolute, (B) the capital of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole is adequate to conduct the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ businesses and for the Company to enter into the Subscriptions, (C) the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole has the ability to pay its debts and obligations as such debts mature, and (D) the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole is not “insolvent” (as such term is defined under Section 101(32) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code)). |

| 5. | Representations and Warranties of the Investor. The Investor hereby represents and warrants to and covenants with the Company, on behalf of itself and each Account, as applicable, that: |

Exhibit 99.1
Syndax Announces Private Placement of $250.0 Million of Convertible Senior Notes
NEW YORK, June 4, 2026 — Syndax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Syndax”) (NASDAQ: SNDX), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing innovative cancer therapies, has entered into privately negotiated subscription agreements for the issuance of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”). The sale of the Notes is expected to close on June 10, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. J. Wood Capital Advisors LLC is acting as sole placement agent in connection with the private placement of the Notes (the “private placement”).
Syndax estimates that the net proceeds from the private placement will be approximately $243 million, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and estimated expenses payable by Syndax. Syndax expects to use the net proceeds from the private placement for general corporate purposes, including working capital, research and development expenditures, commercialization activity expenditures and business development expenditures.
The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Syndax and will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2026 at a rate of 2.25%. The Notes will mature on June 15, 2031, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.
Noteholders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 15, 2031, only upon the occurrence of certain circumstances. On or after March 15, 2031, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, the noteholders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at any time.
Upon conversion, Syndax will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of Syndax’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”), or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at Syndax’s election. The conversion rate will initially be 40.3894 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $24.76 per share of common stock). The initial conversion price of the Notes represents a premium of approximately 35% over the last reported sale price of the common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on June 3, 2026. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date of the Notes or if Syndax delivers a notice of redemption, Syndax will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a noteholder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or notice of redemption, as the case may be.
Syndax may not redeem the Notes prior to June 20, 2029. Syndax may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes (subject to certain limitations), at Syndax’s option, on a redemption date on or after June 20, 2029 if the last reported sale price of the common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Syndax provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
If Syndax undergoes a “fundamental change” (as defined in the indenture that will govern the Notes), then, subject to certain conditions and limited exceptions, noteholders may require Syndax to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
Neither the Notes, nor the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, if any, have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.
This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
