EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) is filed by Humacyte, Inc. (the “Company”) for the purpose of registering additional shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), under the Company’s 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
The number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year, but not after August 26, 2031, in an amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year, unless the board of directors of the Company acts prior to January 1 of a given year to provide that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock (the “Plan Provision”). The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan was increased by 5,183,686 shares, effective January 1, 2024. This Registration Statement registers the offer and sale of the 5,183,686 additional shares of Common Stock that are available for issuance under the Plan as a result of the Plan Provision.
Of the 12,908,939 shares of Common Stock currently authorized by the Plan, the offer and sale of which is being registered hereby, the Company has previously registered the offer and sale of 7,725,253 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed on October 28, 2021 (Commission File No. 333-260561) (the “Original Plan Registration Statement”).
Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the contents of the Original Plan Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto or filings incorporated therein by reference are incorporated herein by reference and made part of this Registration Statement. Any items in the Original Plan Registration Statement not expressly changed hereby shall be as set forth in the Original Plan Registration Statement.

All reports and other documents subsequently filed by us pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities registered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents, except as to specific sections of such statements as set forth therein.
Unless expressly incorporated into this Registration Statement, a report furnished on Form 8-K (or any portion thereof so furnished) prior or subsequent to the date hereof shall not be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement.
