Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

On October 13, 2022, the Issuer (formerly known as “Imara Inc.”) and Enliven Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Old Enliven”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on February 24, 2023, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer merged with and into Old Enliven, with Old Enliven surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, each share of Old Enliven common stock (including preferred stock on an as converted basis) was converted into the right to receive 0.2951 shares of Common Stock. After completion of the Merger, the combined company was renamed “Enliven Therapeutics, Inc.”

Between July 2019 and December 2020, Ventures VI and Opportunities purchased an aggregate of 19,648,846 shares of Old Enliven’s convertible preferred stock, at an aggregate purchase price of $31,749,999.

Immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, Ventures VI purchased 1,952,627 shares of Old Enliven common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $7,500,001 in a private financing.

In the Merger, each of these shares was converted to shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. Following completion of the Merger, Ventures VI and Opportunities directly owned 4,838,092 and 960,383 shares of Common Stock, respectively.

The source of the funds for the purchases by Ventures VI and Opportunities described above was from capital contributions made by each of its general and limited partners.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons purchased the aforementioned securities for investment purposes with the aim of increasing the value of their investments and the Issuer. Subject to applicable legal requirements, one or more of the Reporting Persons may purchase additional securities of the Issuer from time to time in open market or private transactions, depending on its evaluation of the Issuer’s business, prospects and financial condition, the market for the Issuer’s securities, other developments concerning the Issuer, the reaction of the Issuer to the Reporting Persons’ ownership of the Issuer’s securities, other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and general economic, money market and stock market conditions. In addition, depending upon the factors referred to above, the Reporting Persons may dispose of all or a portion of their securities of the Issuer at any time, either through selling shares or distributing shares to their respective general partners and limited partners (including by means of Rule 10b5-1 programs). Each of the Reporting Persons reserve the right to increase or decrease its holdings on such terms and at such times as each may decide.

Except as set forth in this Item 4 and Item 6 below, none of the Reporting Persons have a present plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”).

The Reporting Persons also retain the right to change their investment intent at any time, to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer from time to time, or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Common Stock beneficially owned by them (or any shares of Common Stock into which such securities are converted) in any manner permitted by law.
