Exhibit 99.4

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On June 20, 2024, AVROBIO, Inc. (“AVROBIO”), Tectonic Therapeutic, Inc. (“Tectonic”), and AVROBIO Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of AVROBIO (“Merger Sub”) consummated the previously announced merger transaction pursuant to that certain agreement and plan of merger and reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), dated January 30, 2024. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Tectonic, with Tectonic surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of AVROBIO (such transaction, the “merger”). Upon completion of the merger, the business of Tectonic will continue as the business of the surviving corporation, referred to herein as the “combined company.” After the completion of the merger, AVROBIO changed its corporate name to Tectonic Therapeutic, Inc.

At the closing of the merger (the “effective time” or the “Closing”) and related transactions, the shares of Tectonic common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, including outstanding and unvested Tectonic Restricted Stock (defined in Note 1 of the accompanying notes), were converted into 10,956,614 shares of AVROBIO common stock in the aggregate, based on an exchange ratio determined in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”). The shares of AVROBIO common stock received by former Tectonic stockholders include 6,901 shares that are subject to vesting conditions, based on the unvested Tectonic Restricted Stock at Closing multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. The number of shares of Tectonic common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time included Tectonic common stock issued upon conversion of each share of Tectonic convertible preferred stock, and shares of Tectonic common stock issued in connection with the Subscription Agreements and Company SAFEs as defined in Note 1 of the accompanying notes (together with the merger, the “Transactions”). The Exchange Ratio is approximately 0.53 shares of AVROBIO common stock for each share of Tectonic common stock, after giving effect to the 1-for-12 reverse stock split of AVROBIO common stock that was effected on June 20, 2024.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the historical balance sheets of AVROBIO and Tectonic as of March 31, 2024, and depicts the accounting of the Transactions under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“pro forma balance sheet transaction accounting adjustments”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended December 31, 2023 combine the historical results of AVROBIO and Tectonic for these periods and depict the pro forma balance sheet transaction accounting adjustments assuming that those adjustments were made as of January 1, 2023 (“pro forma statement of operations transaction accounting adjustments”). Collectively, pro forma balance sheet transaction accounting adjustments and pro forma statement of operations transaction accounting adjustments are referred to as “transaction accounting adjustments” or “pro forma adjustments.”

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Description of the Merger

On June 20, 2024, AVROBIO, Tectonic and Merger Sub consummated the previously announced merger transaction pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement dated January 30, 2024, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Tectonic, with Tectonic surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of AVROBIO. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at Closing:

 

  a)

each outstanding share of Tectonic common stock, including outstanding and unvested Tectonic Restricted Stock (defined below), after giving effect to the Transactions, converted into a number of shares of AVROBIO’s common stock, based on the Exchange Ratio,

 

  b)

each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase shares of Tectonic common stock (“Tectonic options”) immediately prior to Closing was assumed by AVROBIO and converted into an option to purchase shares of AVROBIO common stock, with necessary adjustments to the number of shares and exercise price to reflect the Exchange Ratio; and

 

  c)

All Tectonic restricted common stock outstanding and unvested immediately prior to Closing (“Tectonic Restricted Stock”) that was assumed by AVROBIO in the merger remains unvested to the same extent and is subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the board of directors of AVROBIO accelerated the vesting of certain outstanding options to purchase AVROBIO common stock, after giving effect to the 1-for-12 reverse stock split that was effected on June 20, 2024, held by a current employee, director or consultant of AVROBIO as of the Closing, and accelerated the vesting and settled into shares of AVROBIO common stock each outstanding restricted stock unit (“RSU”) in respect of AVROBIO common stock that vests solely on the basis of time. The acceleration of vesting of AVROBIO’s options and RSUs occurs either upon a change of control as defined, pursuant to the terms of the original awards, or a modification of the awards as a result of the merger. The post-merger stock-based compensation expense, including the incremental fair value of the AVROBIO’s options and RSUs associated with the modification to accelerate vesting is immaterial at Closing and is not included as an adjustment to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Immediately following the merger, AVROBIO stockholders as of immediately prior to the merger will own approximately 24.8% of the outstanding capital stock of the combined company on a diluted basis, former Tectonic stockholders will own approximately 38.5% of the outstanding capital stock of the combined company on a diluted basis, and investors participating in the Subscription Agreements and Company SAFEs will own approximately 27.1% and 9.6% of the outstanding capital stock of the combined company, respectively, on a diluted basis. Tectonic stockholders received approximately 10,956,614 shares of AVROBIO common stock in connection with the merger, including 6,901 shares of AVROBIO common stock subject to vesting terms, based on the number of shares of Tectonic common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger, including Tectonic Restricted Stock, the number of shares Tectonic common stock issued to investors participating in the Subscription Agreements and Company SAFEs, and Tectonic convertible preferred stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger, which was converted into shares of Tectonic common stock on a one-for-one basis immediately prior to the closing of the merger. The number of shares of AVROBIO common stock issued to Tectonic stockholders in connection with the merger was based on certain inputs, including (i) AVROBIO’s net cash at Closing of $77.3 million, (ii) the 1-for-12 reverse stock split of AVROBIO common stock effected on June 20, 2024, and (iii) aggregate proceeds from the Private Financing Transactions (as defined below) of $130.7 million. The following table summarizes the number of shares of common stock of the combined company outstanding following the consummation of the Transactions.

(1)

Shares of common stock of the combined company received by former Tectonic stockholders include 6,901 shares that are subject to vesting conditions, based on 12,914 shares of unvested Tectonic Restricted Stock at Closing multiplied by the Exchange Ratio of 0.53.


The employment agreements for AVROBIO employees included entitlement to change in control payments for certain executives, and severance and retention bonus payments for certain non-executives, the aggregate of which was treated as pre-merger compensation expense of AVROBIO and reflected as an increase to accrued expenses of AVROBIO, which was assumed by the combined company at Closing. Prior to Closing, AVROBIO also discontinued its research and development activities and terminated and/or expired its leases. Additionally, AVROBIO’s directors & officers (D&O) insurance policy was fully utilized at Closing.

Private Financing Transactions

Subscription Agreements

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain parties have entered into certain subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with Tectonic to purchase, prior to the consummation of the merger, 7,790,889 shares of Tectonic common stock at a purchase price of approximately $12.40 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $96.6 million (the “Private Placement”). The closing of the Private Placement was completed on June 20, 2024, and shares of Tectonic common stock issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements were converted into 4,163,606 shares of AVROBIO common stock at Closing based on the Exchange Ratio, pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

Company SAFEs

From October to December 2023, Tectonic entered into various simple agreements for future equity (the “Company SAFEs”) with existing investors, who are also related parties of Tectonic and received $34.1 million representing the aggregate purchase amount. Tectonic accounts for the Company SAFEs as a liability pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Company SAFEs were initially measured at their fair value upon issuance. In addition, until redemption, the Company SAFEs are measured at fair value on a recurring basis with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in the Tectonic’s statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Under the terms of the Company SAFEs, in the event of a public listing transaction such as an initial public offering or a reverse merger with a public company, the Company SAFEs will be redeemed through delivery of a variable number of shares of Tectonic common stock determined by dividing the Company SAFEs purchase amount by the offering or conversion price in the respective transaction. In connection with the merger, the principal balance of the Company SAFEs was automatically redeemed into 2,752,216 shares of Tectonic common stock at the conversion price of approximately $12.40 per share immediately prior to the Closing. At Closing, shares of Tectonic common stock issued pursuant to the redemption of the Company SAFEs were converted into 1,470,839 shares of AVROBIO common stock based on the Exchange Ratio, pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

The aggregate proceeds from the Private Financing Transactions (the Subscription Agreements and the Company SAFEs) was approximately $130.7 million.

Contingent Value Rights Agreement

In connection with the merger, AVROBIO and its designated rights agent entered into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”). Pursuant to the CVR Agreement, each holder of AVROBIO common stock immediately prior to the effective time, is entitled to receive a contractual contingent value right (“CVR”) subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the CVR Agreement, representing the contractual right to receive a pro rata portion of 80% of the net proceeds, if any, as a result of an AVROBIO disposition (including a license of AVROBIO’s pre-closing assets as defined in the CVR Agreement) after the Closing and prior to the 18-month anniversary of the Closing, received within a 10-year period following the Closing; provided that no contingent payment will be payable to any holder of the CVRs until such time as the then-outstanding and undistributed proceeds exceeds $0.4 million in the aggregate. The CVRs represent contingent consideration in the merger, however the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include the fair value of contingent consideration related to the CVRs as the fair value of the CVRs was determined to be nominal at Closing.

2. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X. The adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the merger.


The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the assumptions and adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary, subject to further revision as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed following the completion of the merger, and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Differences between these preliminary accounting conclusions and estimates and the final accounting conclusions and amounts may occur as a result of, among other reasons: (i) changes in initial assumptions in the determination of the accounting acquirer and related accounting, (ii) changes in the amount of cash used in AVROBIO’s operations, and (iii) other changes in AVROBIO’s assets and liabilities, which will be completed after the Closing, and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.

3. Accounting Policies

During the preparation of the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information, Management was not aware of any material differences between Tectonic’s accounting policies and the accounting policies of AVROBIO. Following the consummation of the merger, Tectonic will conduct a more detailed review of AVROBIO’s accounting policies. As a result, Tectonic may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have had a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information.

4. Accounting for the Merger

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the merger, which is accounted for under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as an in-substance reverse recapitalization of AVROBIO by Tectonic. Under this method of accounting, Tectonic is considered the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. This determination is based on an evaluation of the following facts and circumstances immediately following the merger:

 

   

Tectonic stockholders will own a substantial majority of the voting rights in the combined company;

 

   

Tectonic’s largest stockholder will retain the largest interest in the combined company;

 

   

Tectonic will designate a majority of the initial members of the board of directors of the combined company;

 

   

Tectonic’s executive management team will become the management of the combined company; and

 

   

The combined company will be renamed Tectonic Therapeutic, Inc. and will be headquartered in Massachusetts.

As a result of Tectonic being treated as the accounting acquirer, Tectonic’s assets and liabilities are recorded at their pre-combination carrying amounts. AVROBIO’s assets and liabilities are measured and recognized at their fair values as of the effective time, which approximates the carrying value of the acquired cash and other non-operating assets, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The difference between the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets of AVROBIO following the determination of the actual consideration transferred for AVROBIO is reflected as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. For periods prior to Closing, the historical financial statements of Tectonic become the historical financial statements of the combined company.

Preliminary Estimated Consideration Transferred (Purchase Price)

The estimated preliminary purchase price, which represents the consideration transferred to AVROBIO stockholders in the merger, is calculated based on the fair value of the common stock of the combined company that AVROBIO stockholders own as of the Closing of the Transactions because, with no active trading market for shares of Tectonic, the fair value of the AVROBIO common stock represents a more reliable measure of the fair value of consideration transferred in the merger. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information reflects an estimated preliminary purchase price of approximately $68.4 million. The following summarizes the preliminary estimate of the purchase price to be paid in the merger, after giving effect to the 1-for-12 reverse stock split of AVROBIO common stock that was effected on June 20, 2024 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

 

Common shares of the combined company owned by AVROBIO stockholders (1)

     3,769,005  

Multiplied by the fair value per share of AVROBIO common stock (2)

   $ 17.88  
  

 

 

 

Total

   $ 67,390  

Estimated fair value of assumed AVROBIO stock-based awards based on pre-merger service (3)

     1,052  
  

 

 

 

Total estimated purchase price

   $ 68,442  
  

 

 

 

 

(1)

The final purchase price was determined based on the number of shares of AVROBIO common stock that AVROBIO stockholders owned immediately prior to Closing. For purposes of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the estimated number of shares, after giving effect to the 1-for-12 reverse stock split of AVROBIO common stock that was effected on June 20, 2024, represents 3,740,186 shares of AVROBIO common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2024, 3,787 shares of AVROBIO common stock issued subsequent to March 31, 2024 and 25,032 unvested RSUs outstanding as of the Closing which vested in full upon Closing in accordance with the terms of the original awards.


(2)

The final purchase price was based on the closing price of AVROBIO common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on June 11, 2024, after giving effect to the 1-for-12 reverse stock split of AVROBIO common stock that was effected on June 20, 2024.

 

(3)

Reflects the estimated acquisition-date fair value of the assumed AVROBIO equity awards attributable to pre-merger service that were outstanding as of the effective time. This is included as an adjustment to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet by crediting and debiting additional paid-in capital, resulting in no impact to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

5. Shares of AVROBIO Common Stock Issued to Tectonic Stockholders upon Closing of the Merger

At Closing, all outstanding shares of Tectonic common stock (including shares of Tectonic common stock issued upon conversion of Tectonic convertible preferred stock and shares of Tectonic common stock issued in connection with the Subscription Agreements and Company SAFEs) were exchanged for shares of AVROBIO common stock based on the Exchange Ratio of 0.53, determined in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and after giving effect to the 1-for-12 reverse stock split of AVROBIO common stock that was effected on June 20, 2024. The number of shares of AVROBIO common stock that AVROBIO expects to issue to Tectonic’s stockholders is based on AVROBIO’s net cash at Closing of $77.3 million and is determined as follows:

As such, the $3.9 million is recorded as an increase in accrued expenses and accumulated deficit in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024.


6(d)

To reflect the automatic conversion, on a one-to-one basis, of all outstanding shares of Tectonic convertible preferred stock, with a carrying amount of $80.6 million, into 6,825,483 shares of Tectonic common stock immediately prior to the merger.

6(e)

To reflect the issuance of 7,790,889 shares of Tectonic common stock pursuant to the Subscription Agreements entered into concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, for an aggregate purchase price of $96.6 million. The proceeds received in connection with the Subscription Agreements are recorded net of transaction costs deemed to be direct and incremental costs of the equity financing in the amount of approximately $2.0 million. The issuance of shares in connection with the Subscription Agreements are recorded as the issuance of Tectonic common stock at par value, with the remaining amount recorded to additional paid-in-capital.

As the merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization equivalent to the issuance of equity for the net assets, primarily cash, of AVROBIO, these direct and incremental costs are treated as a reduction of the net proceeds received within additional paid-in capital.

 

6(h)

To reflect preliminary estimated transaction costs of $5.2 million, not yet reflected in the historical financial statements, which were incurred by AVROBIO in connection with the merger, such as advisory, legal and auditor fees and including the estimated $1.8 million cost of a D&O tail policy.

7. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations

The pro forma notes and adjustments, based on preliminary estimates that could change materially as additional information is obtained, are as follows:

Pro forma notes:

 

7(A)

Derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) of AVROBIO for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

7(D)

Derived from the audited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss of Tectonic for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Given Tectonic’s history of net losses and valuation allowance, management assumed an effective tax rate of 0%. Therefore, the pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations resulted in no additional income tax adjustment to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Pro forma Statement of Operations Transaction Accounting Adjustments:

 

7(a)

To reflect preliminary estimated incremental compensation expense related to severance, retention bonuses and change in control payments recorded in research and development expenses of $1.3 million and general and administrative expenses of $2.6 million, resulting from pre-existing employment agreements or from approval from AVROBIO’s board of directors in connection with the merger that had not yet been paid or fully accrued for as of March 31, 2024 assuming that the adjustment described in Note 6(c) was made on January 1, 2023.

 

7(b)

To reflect AVROBIO’s estimated advisory, legal, audit and other costs related to the merger, including the estimated cost of a D&O tail policy, that were not recorded in its historical financial statements as an increase to general and administrative expenses in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 assuming that the adjustment described in Note 6(h) was made on January 1, 2023.

 

7(c)

To reflect the derecognition of AVROBIO’s prepaid research and development expenses of $0.1 million related to discontinued research and development activities, and prepaid insurance of $0.4 million primarily related to AVROBIO’s D&O policy that was fully utilized at Closing, assuming the adjustment made in Note 6(i) was made on January 1, 2023.

7(e)

To reflect the gain on termination of AVROBIO’s operating leases of $0.1 million, relating to AVROBIO’s operating leases that were terminated or expired prior to the closing of the merger assuming that the adjustment described in Note 6(j) was made on January 1, 2023.

 

7(f)

The pro forma combined basic and diluted net income (loss) per share have been adjusted to reflect the pro forma net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended December 31, 2023. In addition, the number of shares used in calculating the pro forma combined basic and diluted net loss per share has been adjusted to reflect the estimated total number of shares of common stock of the combined company that would be outstanding at the Closing of the merger, after giving effect to the 1-for-12 reverse stock split of AVROBIO common stock that was effected on June 20, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, the pro forma weighted average shares outstanding, after giving effect to the aforementioned reverse stock split, has been calculated as follows:
