SCHEDULE 13D/A

Item 1. Security and Issuer

Item 1 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on June 16, 2021, Amendment No. 2 filed on August 12, 2022 and Amendment No. 3 filed on January 10, 2023 (as amended, the “Statement”) by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Common Stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of Werewolf Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Issuer”).  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 4 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Statement. Unless amended or supplemented below, the information in the Statement remains unchanged.

Item 2 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The Reporting Persons’ ownership of the Issuer’s securities include (1) 5,701,056 shares of Common Stock held by the Fund, (2) 443,825 shares of Common Stock held by the RA Capital Nexus Fund II, L.P. (the “Nexus Fund II”), (3) a total of 32,866 vested stock options (right to buy), and (4) 1,288 stock options (right to buy) which shall vest within 60 days of this filing.

RA Capital Healthcare Fund GP, LLC is the general partner of the Fund and RA Capital Nexus Fund II GP, LLC is the general partner of the Nexus Fund II. The general partner of RA Capital is RA Capital Management GP, LLC, of which Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah are the controlling persons. RA Capital serves as investment adviser for the Fund and the Nexus Fund II and may be deemed a beneficial owner, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), of any securities of the Issuer held by the Fund or the Nexus Fund II. The Fund and the Nexus Fund II have delegated to RA Capital the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of all securities held in the Fund’s and the Nexus Fund II’s portfolio, including the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock reported herein.  Because the Fund and the Nexus Fund II have divested themselves of voting and investment power over the reported securities they hold and may not revoke that delegation on less than 61 days’ notice, the Fund and the Nexus Fund II disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities they hold for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act and therefore disclaim any obligation to report ownership of the reported securities under Section 13(d) of the Act. As managers of RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah may be deemed beneficial owners, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, of any securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by RA Capital. RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, and Mr. Shah disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities reported in this Statement other than for the purpose of determining their obligations under Section 13(d) of the Act, and the filing of the Statement shall not be deemed an admission that either RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, or Mr. Shah is the beneficial owner of such securities for any other purpose.

Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

⁵ The Common Stock and percentage ownership reported in this amendment reflect an increase in the number of outstanding shares of the Issuer. The vesting options in Item 5(c) did not cause a material change in the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership.

SIGNATURE

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
