<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Kodiak is a precommercial retina focused biotechnology company. We are focused on bringing new science to the design and manufacture of next
generation retinal medicines to prevent and treat the leading causes of blindness globally. We are developing a portfolio of three late-stage investigational therapies <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(KSI-101,</FONT>
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">KSI-501</FONT> and tarcocimab) which we are evaluating in four ongoing Phase 3 clinical trials. We expect to announce topline data from three of these studies (GLOW2, DAYBREAK and PEAK) in calendar year 2026 and one
of these studies (PINNACLE) in 2027. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">KSI-101</FONT> is a novel, potent and high strength (100 mg/mL)
antibody-based therapy with a bispecific mechanism of action targeting both <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">interleukin-6</FONT> <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(IL-6)</FONT> and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). We are developing <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">KSI-101</FONT> for patients with macular edema (retinal fluid) secondary to inflammation, or MESI. MESI is a heterogeneous group of diseases that clinically present with macular edema and visual impairment which are caused
by a common pathophysiology of immune insult leading to inflammation and blood retinal barrier disruption. The clinical presentation of retinal fluid and visual impairment is a mainstay in these patients, irrespective of the location of the
inflammation inside of the eye (anterior, intermediate, posterior or all intraocular compartments) or the specific etiology (defined autoimmune associated, idiopathic, post-procedural, or inflammatory choroidal neovascularization). Currently there
are no available intravitreal biologic therapies addressing the spectrum of MESI diseases. We believe that MESI represents a new market segment separate from the established anti-VEGF retina market. Data from our dose-finding Phase 1b APEX study
showed meaningful vision gains are rapidly achieved as early as week 4 and showed continued improvement in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) through week 20, with more than half of patients achieving improvement of
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">3-lines</FONT> or more on the eye chart (&#8805;15 letter gain). More than 90% of patients in the top two dose levels achieved and sustained real dryness of the retina. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">KSI-101</FONT>
also continued to be well tolerated with a favorable safety profile. The top two dose levels in APEX have been advanced into the Phase 3 pivotal studies, PEAK and PINNACLE which are actively enrolling patients. We expect to complete enrollment for
the PEAK study in 1H 2026 and to announce topline data in 2H 2026. We expect to complete enrollment for the PINNACLE study in 2H 2026 and to announce topline data in 1H 2027 followed shortly thereafter by Biologics License Application, or BLA,
submission. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">KSI-501</FONT> is a
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">first-in-class</FONT></FONT> <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">anti-IL-6,</FONT></FONT> VEGF-trap bispecific therapy built on our ABC<SUP
STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">&reg;</SUP> platform and is being developed as a mainstay intravitreal biologic therapy for VEGF-driven retinal vascular diseases with the objectives to demonstrate (i)&nbsp;an additional efficacy benefit
above and beyond anti-VEGF therapies (driven by its bispecific mechanism of action), (ii) a strong efficacy/immediacy (driven by its enhanced formulation), and (iii)&nbsp;a strong durability (driven by its ABC design and science of durability). <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">KSI-501</FONT> is currently being studied in the Phase 3 DAYBREAK study in patients with neovascular <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">age-related</FONT> macular degeneration, or wet AMD. The DAYBREAK study is a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-inferiority</FONT> study evaluating parallel investigational arms of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">KSI-501</FONT> and tarcocimab against active comparator aflibercept. Patients randomized to <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">KSI-501</FONT> will receive fixed every <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">8-week</FONT> dosing with additional individualized dosing (up to monthly dosing) on an as needed basis after four monthly loading doses. Patients
randomized to aflibercept will be dosed per label. Using a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">treat-to-dryness</FONT></FONT> approach, coupled with fixed intensive proactive dosing, our goal is to maximize both the
probability of meeting the primary endpoint as well as the probability of demonstrating additional efficacy benefits. The primary endpoint is <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-inferiority</FONT> in change in visual acuity from baseline to the
average of Week 40, 44 and 48. The objective for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">KSI-501</FONT> in DAYBREAK is to explore the efficacy potential of bispecific <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">IL-6</FONT> and VEGF inhibition in a broad <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">treatment-na&iuml;ve</FONT> wet AMD population. DAYBREAK has completed enrollment of approximately 690 subjects, and we expect to announce topline data in 3Q 2026. </P>

treatment of high prevalence retinal vascular diseases. Tarcocimab is being developed as a mainstay intravitreal biologic that provides a strong efficacy/immediacy (driven by its enhanced formulation) and a strong durability (driven by its ABC
platform design and science of durability) with the ultimate objective of providing, if approved, a flexible <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">1-month</FONT> through <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">6-month</FONT> label for patients with retinal
vascular disease. To date, tarcocimab has completed three successful Phase 3 pivotal clinical studies: the Phase 3 GLOW1 study in diabetic retinopathy (&#8220;DR&#8221;), the Phase 3 BEACON study in retinal vein occlusion (&#8220;RVO&#8221;) and the
Phase 3 DAYLIGHT study in wet AMD. In the GLOW1 study, tarcocimab successfully treated DR patients and prevented disease progression with 100% of patients on extended <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">6-month</FONT> dosing. In the BEACON study, in
the first 6 months tarcocimab-treated patients were dosed on an every <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">8-week</FONT> interval (as opposed to an every <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">4-week</FONT> interval for aflibercept) and in the second 6 months
nearly half of tarcocimab patients did not require any treatment while achieving similar vision and anatomical outcomes as the aflibercept group at one year. In the DAYLIGHT study, tarcocimab demonstrated
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-inferior</FONT> efficacy results and compelling safety and tolerability on a once monthly dosing interval. Tarcocimab is currently being studied in two Phase 3 clinical trials, the GLOW2 superiority study in
approximately 250 patients with diabetic retinopathy and the DAYBREAK <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-inferiority</FONT> study in approximately 690 patients with wet AMD. Both studies have completed enrollment. The GLOW2 study design mirrors
that of our successful GLOW1 study in DR, with the advantage of a third monthly loading dose (baseline, Week 4, Week 8) to provide dosing flexibility to providers. As in the GLOW1 study design, all patients randomized to investigational therapy will
receive tarcocimab on extended, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">6-month</FONT> dosing. The DAYBREAK study is evaluating parallel investigational arms of tarcocimab and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">KSI-501</FONT> against active comparator
aflibercept. The DAYBREAK study incorporates learnings from prior pivotal trials of tarcocimab and was designed to maximize the probability of meeting the primary endpoint of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-inferiority</FONT> in visual acuity
gains. Patients randomized to tarcocimab will receive individualized dosing every <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">1-month</FONT> to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">6-month</FONT> on an as needed basis following four monthly loading doses. Patients
randomized to aflibercept will be dosed per label. The individualized dosing of tarcocimab is determined by a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">treat-to-dryness</FONT></FONT> proactive approach using presence of
retinal fluid as a disease activity marker. We intend to file a single BLA for tarcocimab in the three diseases of wet AMD, DR and retinal vein occlusion in 2026. </P>

carefully the risks described below and in our other filings that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in its entirety, together with the other information in this prospectus supplement, the
accompanying prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference, and in any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition,
results of operations or prospects could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. </P>

of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially
from their currently intended use. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that ultimately do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively
could have an adverse effect on our business, delay the development of our product candidates and cause the price of our common stock to decline. </P>

outstanding prior to this offering. Therefore, if you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds our net tangible book value per share after this offering. At the public offering
price of $&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;&#8195; per share, purchasers of common stock in this offering will experience immediate dilution of $&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;&#8195; per share in net tangible book value of our common stock. The exercise or vesting and

the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity holders of such institution, as well

such entity provides the withholding agent with either a certification that it does not have any substantial direct or indirect U.S. owners or provides information regarding substantial direct and indirect U.S. owners of the entity. An
intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. The withholding tax described above will not apply if the foreign financial institution

selling shares of common stock in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing transactions may include making short sales of the
common stock, which involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of common stock than they are required to purchase in this offering, and purchasing shares of common stock on the open market to cover positions created by short
sales. Short sales may be &#8220;covered&#8221; shorts, which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriters&#8217; option to purchase additional shares referred to above, or may be &#8220;naked&#8221; shorts, which are short
positions in excess of that amount. The underwriters may close out any covered short position either by exercising their option to purchase additional shares, in whole or in part, or by purchasing shares in the open market. In making this
determination, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market compared to the price at which the underwriters may purchase shares through the option to purchase additional shares. A
naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. To the
extent that the underwriters create a naked short position, they will purchase shares in the open market to cover the position. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because the market value of our voting and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-voting</FONT> common stock held by <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-affiliates</FONT> was less than $560&nbsp;million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year prior to
such date, we qualify again as a &#8220;smaller reporting company&#8221; as defined in the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i)&nbsp;the market value of our shares held by
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-affiliates</FONT> is less than $250&nbsp;million or (ii)&nbsp;the market value of our shares held by <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-affiliates</FONT> is less than $700&nbsp;million and our annual revenue
was less than $100&nbsp;million during the most recently completed fiscal year prior to the determination date. As a smaller reporting company, we may provide less public disclosure than larger public companies, including the inclusion of only two
years of audited financial statements and only two years of related management&#8217;s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations disclosure. While we are a smaller reporting company, we are not required to comply with
the auditor attestation requirements of Section&nbsp;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as long as we are considered a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-accelerated</FONT> filer or our annual revenues are less than $100&nbsp;million. As a result, the
information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive as a result
of our reliance on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of any choice we make to reduce disclosure, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and the market price for our common
stock may be more volatile. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The Securities We May Offer </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may offer shares of our common stock and preferred stock, various series of debt securities, and/or warrants to purchase any of such
securities , either individually or as units in combination, up to a total aggregate offering price of $350,000,000 from time to time in one or more offerings under this prospectus, together with any applicable prospectus supplement and any related
free writing prospectus, at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions at the time of the relevant offering. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we offer a type or series
of securities under this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will describe the specific amounts, prices and other important terms of the securities, including, to the extent applicable: </P>

outstanding preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends that our board of directors may declare out of funds legally available for that purpose. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, conversion,
subscription or other rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of our common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights
of the holders of shares of any series of our preferred stock that we may designate in the future. In this prospectus, we have summarized certain general features of our common stock under the heading &#8220;Description of Capital Stock&#8212;Common

preferences and rights of each series of the preferred stock, as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, preemptive rights, terms of redemption or repurchase, liquidation
preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of any series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the common stock. Any convertible preferred stock we may issue will be
convertible into our common stock or exchangeable for our other securities. Conversion may be mandatory or at the holder&#8217;s option and would be at prescribed conversion rates. You should refer to our amended and restated certificate of

the applicable provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and the DGCL. For information on how to obtain copies of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated

at such meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders, except as otherwise required by law. The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or

privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, any or all of which may be
greater than the rights of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. In

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We can issue securities in registered form or in the form of one or more global securities. We describe global securities in greater detail
below. We refer to those persons who have securities registered in their own names on the books that we, or any applicable trustee, depositary or warrant agent, maintain for this purpose as the &#8220;holders&#8221; of those securities. These
persons are the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those persons who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in securities that are not registered in their own names, as &#8220;indirect holders&#8221; of those securities. As
we discuss below, indirect holders are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued in book-entry form or in street name will be indirect holders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Book-Entry Holders </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue
securities in book-entry form only, as we will specify in the applicable prospectus supplement. This means securities may be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a financial institution that holds them as depositary
on behalf of other financial institutions that participate in the depositary&#8217;s book-entry system. These participating institutions, which are referred to as participants, in turn, hold beneficial interests in the securities on behalf of
themselves or their customers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Only the person in whose name a security is registered is recognized as the holder of that security.
Global securities will be registered in the name of the depositary or its participants. Consequently, for global securities, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities, and we will make all payments on the securities to
the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants do so under agreements they have
made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result, investors
in a global security will not own securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the depositary&#8217;s book-entry system or holds an
interest through a participant. As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect holders, and not legal holders, of the securities. </P>

may be terminated in certain situations as described under &#8220;-Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated,&#8221; or issue securities that are not issued in global form. In these cases, investors may choose to hold their
securities in their own names or in &#8220;street name.&#8221; Securities held by an investor in street name would be registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only
a beneficial interest in those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For securities held in street name,
we, or any applicable trustee, depositary or warrant agent, will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions in whose names the securities are registered as the holders of those securities, and we or any such
trustee or depositary will make all payments on those securities to them. These institutions pass along the payments they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or
because they are legally required to do so. Investors who hold securities in street name will be indirect holders, not legal holders, of those securities. </P>

of the holders to amend an indenture, to relieve us of the consequences of a default or of our obligation to comply with a particular provision of an indenture, or for other purposes. In such an event, we would seek approval only from the legal
holders, and not the indirect holders, of the securities. Whether and how the legal holders contact the indirect holders is up to the legal holders. </P>

sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve
purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are
purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any
time. These transactions may be effected on any exchange or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> market or otherwise. </P>

in the securities on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities.
Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such
security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker&#8217;s bid, however, the passive market maker&#8217;s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market
