This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D relates to the Class A Common Stock of Nuvalent, Inc., and amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on August 4, 2021 (the Initial Statement and, as amended by this Amendment No. 1, the Schedule 13D). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Statement.

On November 3, 2022, the Issuer completed an underwritten public offering of 6,865,672 shares of Class A Common Stock (the Offering). As a result of the Offering, the Issuers total number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock increased to 49,767,258 and the percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock that the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own was reduced by more than one percent. The Reporting Persons purchased shares of Class A Common Stock in the Offering as described below.

Item 3 of the Initial Statement is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

On November 3, 2022, BCLS II Investco, LP (BCLS II Investco) purchased 149,253 shares of Class A Common Stock from the underwriters in an underwritten public offering at a price of $33.50 per share for a total purchase price of $4,999,975. BCLS II Investco used its own working capital to acquire all of the foregoing equity securities of the Issuer.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

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

The information set forth in Items 2 and 3 and on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.

(a) (c) As of the date hereof, Bain Capital Life Sciences Fund II, L.P.
