REGISTRATION OF ADDITIONAL SHARES PURSUANT TO GENERAL INSTRUCTION E

This Registration Statement is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for the purpose of registering additional securities of the same class as other securities for which a registration statement of PMV Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

The number of the Registrant’s common stock available for grant and issuance under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (“2020 Plan”) is subject to annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 2021, in an amount equal to the least of (i) 4,406,374 shares, (ii) five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of the Registrant’s common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year or (iii) such number of shares determined by the 2020 Plan administrator. The number of the Registrant’s common stock available for grant and issuance under the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2020 ESPP”) is subject to annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 2021 equal to the least of (i) 801,504 shares, (ii) one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of the Registrant’s common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year or (iii) such number of shares determined by the 2020 ESPP administrator. On January 1, 2024, the number of shares of the Registrant’s common stock available for grant and issuance under the 2020 Plan and available for issuance under the 2020 ESPP increased by 2,572,174 shares and 514,434 shares, respectively. This Registration Statement registers such additional shares of the Registrant’s common stock.
