Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On March 24, 2025, Surrozen, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), with certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) relating to the issuance and sale to the Purchasers in a two-tranche private placement (the “Private Placement”) of Units (as defined below), each consisting of one share (a “Share”) of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), or pre-funded warrant (“Pre-Funded Warrant”) to purchase shares of Common Stock in lieu thereof, and one half of a warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock (“Series E Common Warrant”).
The first tranche of the Private Placement closed on March 26, 2025 (the “First Closing”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Purchasers an aggregate of 6,586,415 Units, consisting of:
The purchase price per Share Unit and per Pre-Funded Warrant Unit (collectively, the “Units”) was $11.60 and $11.5999, respectively, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $76.4 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other expenses payable by the Company. Each Pre-Funded Warrant has an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, is exercisable immediately and will not expire until exercised in full. The purchase price per Share Unit and Pre-Funded Warrant Unit includes $0.0625, in accordance with the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, for the accompanying one half of a Series E Common Warrant. Each Series E Common Warrant has an exercise price of $11.54 per whole share, is exercisable immediately and expires five years from the date of issuance. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Series E Common Warrants. The initial closing included an election by certain Purchasers to purchase an aggregate of 551,921 Units subscribed for by such Purchasers in the second tranche at the First Closing.
In addition, the Purchasers committed to purchase an additional 8,499,821 Units at a purchase price of $11.60 per Share Unit and $11.5999 per Pre-Funded Warrant Unit, for gross proceeds of approximately $98.6 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other expenses payable by the Company, in a second closing (the “Second Closing”). The Second Closing is contingent upon the public announcement of the receipt of clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on or prior to October 31, 2026 of the Company’s Investigation New Drug Application for SZN-8141 (the “Second Closing Milestone”); provided, that the Second Closing may not occur prior to six months and one day following the First Closing. If the Company terminates its SZN-8141 program prior to October 31, 2026, then the Company is required to provide written notice to each Purchaser no later than two trading days following such termination (the “Termination Notice”). Each Purchaser will have the right, but not the obligation, for 30 calendar days following the receipt of the Termination Notice, upon written notice to the Company, to purchase the Units subscribed for by such Purchaser in the Second Closing. In addition, at any time prior to October 31, 2026 or the date of the Termination Notice (if earlier), in lieu of the requirement to purchase Units in the Second Closing, each Purchaser has the right, but not the obligation, upon five trading days’ prior written notice to the Company to purchase all (but not a portion) of the Units subscribed for by such Purchaser in the Second Closing (an “Optional Closing”).
If a Purchaser fails to purchase in full its subscribed for Units after the achievement of the Second Closing Milestone in the Second Closing, or previously at the First Closing or an Optional Closing, then the Series E Common Warrants issued to such Purchaser shall automatically be cancelled and cease to be exercisable.
The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and the Purchasers, indemnification rights and other obligations of the parties.
The forms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Pre-Funded Warrant and Series E Common Warrant are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 hereto, respectively. The foregoing descriptions of the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Pre-Funded Warrant and Series E Common Warrant are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated March 24, 2025, with the Purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), covering the resale of the Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Series E Common Warrants no later than 30 calendar days following each of the closing date of the First Closing and Second Closing (and if there is no Second Closing, then November 30, 2026 so as to include any registrable securities issued at an Optional Closing), and to use reasonable best efforts to have a registration statement filed under the Registration Rights Agreement declared effective as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, and in any event no later than 90 calendar days (or 120 calendar days in the event of a “full review” by the SEC) following the closing date of the First Closing or Second Closing (or if there is no Second Closing, November 30, 2026), as the case may be.
The form of Registration Rights Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.4 hereto. The foregoing description of the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
Amendment of Prior Warrants
In April 2024, in connection with a prior private placement, the Company issued, including to certain of the Purchasers, (i) Series A common stock warrants (“Series A Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,131,981 shares of Common Stock, (ii) Series B common stock warrants (“Series B Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,231,277 shares of Common Stock, (iii) Series C common stock warrants (“Series C Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 4,386,424 shares of Common Stock and (iv) Series D common stock warrants (“Series D Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 4,386,424 shares of Common Stock.
In connection with the Private Placement, all outstanding Series C common stock warrants and Series D common stock warrants were cancelled. In addition, the exercise price per warrant of all outstanding Series A common stock warrants was reduced from $15.50 to $11.54, except that the exercise price per warrant for such warrants held by members of management was reduced from $16.96 to $12.45, and the exercise price per warrant of all outstanding Series B common stock warrants was reduced from $14.25 to $11.54, except that the exercise price per warrant for such warrants held by members of management was reduced from $15.71 to $12.45.

Annex A
Plan of Distribution
Each selling stockholder and any of their donees, pledgees, assignees, transferees, distributees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock covered hereby on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling such shares of common stock:
The selling stockholders may also sell the shares of common stock under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker‑dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers‑dealers to participate in sales. Broker‑dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker‑dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
In connection with the sale of the shares of common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell the shares of common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell the shares of the common stock. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the shares of common stock.
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares of common stock. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We have agreed to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares of common stock may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, and (ii) all of the shares of common stock have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The shares of common stock will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the shares of common stock covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Annex B
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The selling stockholders may offer and sell, from time to time, any or all of the shares of common stock being offered for resale by this prospectus, which consists of:
● up to [●] shares of common stock;
● up to [●] shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants; and
● up to [●] shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the common stock warrants.
For additional information regarding the issuance of these securities, see the section titled “Private Placement of Shares of Common Stock, Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Stock Warrants.” Except for the ownership of the shares of common stock and warrants, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
As used in this prospectus, the term “selling stockholders” includes the selling stockholders listed in the table below, together with any additional selling stockholders listed in a subsequent amendment to this prospectus, and their donees, pledgees, assignees, transferees, distributees and successors-in-interest that receive shares in any non-sale transfer after the date of this prospectus.
In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders, this prospectus covers the resale of the number of shares of common stock issued to the selling stockholders and the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants and common stock warrants without regard to any limitations on the exercise of such warrants. Under the terms of the pre-funded warrants and common stock warrants held by selling stockholders, a selling stockholder may not exercise any such warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of our then outstanding shares common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants which have not been exercised.
The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders as of March 31, 2025, assuming the full exercise of the warrants held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises. The following table also provides the number of shares of common stock that may be sold by each selling stockholder under this prospectus and that each selling stockholder will beneficially own assuming all the shares of common stock that may be offered pursuant to this prospectus are sold. Because each selling stockholder may dispose of all, none or some portion of their shares of common stock, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares of common stock that will be beneficially owned by a selling stockholder upon termination of this offering. For purposes of the table below; however, we have assumed that after termination of this offering none of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus will be beneficially owned by the selling stockholders and further assumed that the selling stockholders will not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional securities during the offering. In addition, the selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, our securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which the information in the table is presented. See the section titled “Plan of Distribution.”
