Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws

As previously disclosed in the Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-238783) (the “Registration Statement”) of Forma Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), on June 23, 2020 and in connection with the consummation of the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock (the “IPO”), the Company filed a second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and the Company’s stockholders previously approved the Restated Certificate to be filed in connection with, and to be effective upon, the consummation of the IPO. The Restated Certificate amends and restates the Company’s existing amended and restated certificate of incorporation in its entirety to, among other things: (i) authorize 147,494,175 shares of voting common stock; (ii) authorize 2,505,825 shares of non-voting common stock; (iii) eliminate all references to the previously-existing series of preferred stock; and (iv) authorize 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock that may be issued from time to time by the Board in one or more series.

The foregoing description of the Restated Certificate is qualified by reference to the Restated Certificate, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, as previously disclosed in the Registration Statement, on June 18, 2020 and in connection with the consummation of the IPO, the amended and restated bylaws of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), previously approved by the Board and the Company’s stockholders to become effective immediately upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement, became effective. The Amended and Restated Bylaws amend and restate the Company’s bylaws in their entirety to, among other things: (i) eliminate the ability of the Company’s stockholders to take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting and call special meetings of stockholders; (ii) establish procedures relating to the presentation of stockholder proposals at stockholder meetings; (iii) establish procedures relating to the nomination of directors; and (iv) conform to the amended provisions of the Restated Certificate.

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is qualified by reference to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
