Buy Plan / Sale Plan: These are also open market purchases/sales of shares, but in this case the transaction is part of a trading plan. Rule 10b5-1 allows insiders to setup a trading plan to buy/sell stocks over a certain period of time. Since the purchases/sales are predetermined, this protects the insiders from violating insider trading law.

Transaction was made pursuant to a contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of equity securities of the issuer that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c).

Id Content
F1 On February 3, 2025, the Reporting Person filed a Form 4 (the "Original Form 4") that, among other things, reported the sale of shares of common stock pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. The Original Form 4 inadvertently failed to disclose the exercise of derivative securities that occurred pursuant to the same Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which occurred immediately prior to such sale. Accordingly, this Form 4/A is being filed to disclose the omitted transaction. Immediately following the transaction reported herein, the Reporting Person directly beneficially owned 968,659 shares of common stock of Beam Therapeutics Inc.
F2 (Continued from footnote 1) ("BEAM"), and accordingly, all disclosures of the amount of securities directly beneficially owned by the Reporting Person subsequent to the transaction reported herein and prior to the filing of this Form 4/A, including with respect to the transactions reported in the Original Form 4, should be deemed to be adjusted accordingly. As of the date the filing of this Form 4/A, the Reporting Person directly beneficially owns 938,659 shares of common stock of BEAM.
F3 These transactions were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the Reporting Person on June 14, 2024.
F4 On May 8, 2018, the Reporting Person was granted an option to purchase shares of common stock, which vested as to 99,336 shares upon the achievement of a closing hurdle following BEAM's initial public offering (which closing price hurdle was achieved) (the "Price Condition"). The portion of the award subject to the Price Condition vested in three equal installments on December 21, 2021, June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022.
