This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13G initially filed on January 18, 2024 (the “Original Filing”) by Boxer Capital,
LLC (“Boxer Capital”), Boxer Asset Management Inc. (“Boxer Management”), Joe Lewis, Aaron I. Davis and MVA Investors, LLC (“MVA Investors”) regarding the Common Stock of Nkarta, Inc. On October 10, 2024, Boxer Capital
entered into an investment management agreement (the “IMA”) with Boxer Capital Management LLC (“BCM”), a registered investment advisor controlled by Mr. Davis. Pursuant to the IMA, Boxer Capital has delegated exclusive
voting and investment power over its investment portfolio to BCM. Consequently, BCM has acquired beneficial ownership of the securities held in Boxer Capital’s investment portfolio and, without reflecting any change in its economic
interest in such securities, Boxer Capital has thereby ceased to beneficially own the securities held in its investment portfolio, including shares of Common Stock. To the extent applicable, the Original Filing, as hereby amended, is
hereby adopted by BCM as its original filing on Schedule 13G regarding the Common Stock. The Original Filing, as amended, remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, restated or superseded by information contained in this
Amendment No. 1. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 1 have the meanings set forth in the Original Filing, as amended. Boxer Capital, Boxer Management, Mr. Lewis, MVA Investors, Mr. Davis and BCM report herein

independent, personal investment vehicle of certain employees of BCM. BCM is a registered investment advisor, providing investment management services to Boxer Capital. Mr. Davis is the Managing Member of BCM and is a member of and has
voting and dispositive power over securities beneficially held by MVA Investors and BCM. With his immediate family, Mr. Davis indirectly owns the membership interests in BCM.
Item 2(b): Address of Principal Business Office or, if None, Residence
Item 2(b) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
The principal business address of Boxer Capital, MVA Investors, Mr. Davis and BCM is: 12860 El Camino Real, Suite 300, San Diego, CA 92130. The principal business
address of Boxer Management and Mr. Lewis is: Albany Financial Center, Suite 207, Lewis Drive, N7776, New Providence, Bahamas.
Item 2(c): Citizenship

company. Mr. Lewis is a citizen of the United Kingdom. Mr. Davis is a citizen of the United States of America.
Item 4: Ownership
Item 4 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
|
(a)
|
Amount beneficially owned: BCM and Mr. Davis beneficially own 3,443,606 shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Persons
beneficially own, in the aggregate, 3,443,606 shares of Common Stock.
