Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On October 1, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Dyne Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), upon recommendation from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, elected Brian Posner as a Class III director to serve on the Board until the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Mr. Posner has not been appointed to serve on any committees of the Board. The Board has determined that Mr. Posner is an “independent” director under the Nasdaq Stock Market rules.

Mr. Posner shall be entitled to receive compensation under the Company’s non-employee director compensation program. In accordance with this program, upon his election to the Board, Mr. Posner received, under the Company’s 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, an option to purchase 70,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $12.50 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, which option will vest and become exercisable in equal monthly installments over the next three years, subject to his continued service. In the event of a change in control of the Company, the vesting schedule of the option will accelerate in full. In addition, Mr. Posner will receive annual cash compensation of $45,000 as a member of the Board, annual equity grants in accordance with the non-employee director compensation program and reimbursement for reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending Board meetings.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Posner and any other persons pursuant to which he was elected as a director. Mr. Posner does not have any family relationships with any of the Company’s directors or executive officers. There are no transactions and no proposed transactions between Mr. Posner and the Company that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Mr. Posner will enter into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement. The form of the indemnification agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.10 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 25, 2020.
