If you requested printed versions of these materials by mail, they will also include a proxy card for the Annual Meeting.

You can attend the Annual Meeting online, vote your shares electronically and submit your questions during the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BBIO2025. You will need to have your 16-digit control number included on your proxy card to join the Annual Meeting.

Solicitation

This solicitation is made on behalf of the Board of Directors. We will bear the costs of preparing, mailing, online processing and other costs of the proxy solicitation made by our Board of Directors. Certain of our officers and employees may solicit the submission of proxies authorizing the voting of shares in accordance with the Board of Directors’ recommendations. Such solicitations may be made by telephone, facsimile transmission or personal solicitation. No additional compensation will be paid to such officers, directors or regular employees for such services. We will reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in sending proxy materials to stockholders.

Our Board of Directors has made this Proxy Statement and related materials available to you on the Internet, or at your request has delivered printed versions to you by mail, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board for the Annual Meeting, and any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting. If you requested printed versions of these materials by mail, they will also include a proxy card for the Annual Meeting.

Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we are providing access to our proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to our stockholders of record and beneficial owners as of April 21, 2025 (the “Record

Date”). The mailing of the Notice to our stockholders is scheduled to begin on or about April 30, 2025. We believe following this process will expedite the receipt of such materials and will help lower our costs and reduce the environmental impact of our annual meeting materials. The Notice provides instructions as to how stockholders may access and review our proxy materials, including the Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, this proxy statement and our 2024 Annual Report, on the website referred to in the Notice or, alternatively, how to request that a copy of the proxy materials, including a proxy card, be sent by mail. The Notice also provides voting instructions.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE ANNUAL STOCKHOLDERS MEETING TO BE HELD ON JUNE 20, 2025:

The Proxy Statement, the accompanying proxy card or voting instruction card and the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) are available electronically at www.proxyvote.com.

In addition, stockholders may request to receive the proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis for future stockholder meetings. Please note that, while our proxy materials are available at the website referenced in the Notice, and our Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, this proxy statement and our 2024 Annual Report are available on our website, no other information contained on either website is incorporated by reference in or considered to be a part of this proxy statement.

Voting Rights and Outstanding Shares

Only holders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on April 21, 2025, are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Each holder of common stock will be entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on April 21, 2025, there were 189,868,970 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and eligible to vote.

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to take action at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders representing a majority of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote (present virtually or represented by proxy) will constitute a quorum. We will appoint an inspector of elections for the meeting to determine whether or not a quorum is present and to tabulate votes cast by proxy or virtually at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions, withheld votes and broker non-votes (which occur when a broker, bank or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular matter because such broker, bank or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote on that matter and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner) are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.

Votes Required for Each Proposal

To elect our directors and approve the other proposals being considered at the Annual Meeting, the voting requirements are as follows:

ProposalVote RequiredDiscretionary Voting Permitted?
Election of DirectorsPluralityNo
To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officersMajorityNo
Ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2025MajorityYes
Approval of an amendment and restatement of the 2021 Amended and Restated
BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. Stock Option and Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 5,000,000 sharesMajorityNo
Approval of an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to include an officer exculpation provisionMajority of Outstanding SharesNo
Approval of the adjournment of the Annual Meeting to the extent there are insufficient votes at the Annual Meeting to approve any of the above proposalsMajorityNo

“Discretionary Voting Permitted” means that brokers, banks or other nominees that hold shares in “street name” for their customers will have the discretion to vote those shares with respect to certain matters if they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owners. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, which are also applicable to Nasdaq-listed companies, brokers, banks and other securities intermediaries that are subject to New York Stock Exchange rules may use their discretion to vote your “uninstructed” shares on matters considered to be “routine” under New York Stock Exchange rules but not with respect to “non-routine” matters.

“Majority” means a majority of the votes properly cast for and against such matter.

“Majority of Outstanding Shares” means the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote on the matter.

“Plurality” means a plurality of the votes properly cast on such matter. For the election of directors, the five (5) nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes properly cast “FOR” each such nominee will be elected as Class III directors.

The vote required and method of calculation for the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting are as follows:

Proposal One—Election of Directors. Under our bylaws, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes properly cast. If a quorum is present, the five (5) director nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes, submitted virtually at the Annual Meeting or by proxy, will be elected as directors. You may vote “FOR” all nominees, “WITHHOLD” for all nominees, or “WITHHOLD” for any one or more nominees by specifying the name of the nominees on your proxy card. Proposal One isnot considered to be a routine item, so if you are a beneficial owner (on the record date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in a brokerage account or by a broker, bank or other nominee) and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote with respect to this proposal, your broker, bank or other nominee may not vote on this proposal, and those votes will be counted as broker “non-votes.” Withheld votes and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of the directors. If nominees are unopposed, election requires only a single “FOR” vote.

Proposal Two—To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers. Approval of this non-binding advisory proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes properly cast for and against such matter. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on this proposal. If you abstain from voting on this matter, your shares will not be counted as “votes cast” with respect to such matter, and the abstention will have no effect on the proposal. Proposal Two isnot considered to be a routine item, so if you are a beneficial owner (on the record date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in a brokerage account or by a broker, bank or other nominee) and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote with respect to this proposal, your broker, bank or other nominee may not vote on this proposal, and those votes will be counted as broker “non-votes.” Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

Proposal Three—Approval of the Ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes properly cast for and against such matter. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on this proposal. If you abstain from voting on this matter, your shares will not be counted as “votes cast” with respect to such matter, and the abstention will have no effect on the proposal. Proposal Three is considered to be a routine item, so if you are a beneficial owner (on the record date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in a brokerage account or by a broker, bank or other nominee), your broker, bank or other nominee will be able to vote on this proposal even if it does not receive instructions from you. Accordingly, we do not anticipate that there will be any broker non-votes on this proposal; however, any broker non-votes will have no effect on the proposal.

Proposal Four—Approval of an amendment and restatement of the 2021 Amended and Restated BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. Stock Option and Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 5,000,000 shares. Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes properly cast for and against such matter. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on this proposal. If you abstain from voting on this matter, your shares will not be counted as “votes cast” with respect to such matter, and the abstention will have no effect on the proposal. Proposal Four is not considered to be a routine item, so if you are a beneficial owner (on the record date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in a brokerage account or by a broker, bank or other nominee) and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote with respect to this proposal, your broker, bank or other nominee may not vote on this proposal, and those votes will be counted as broker “non-votes.” Broker non-votes will have no effect on the proposal.

Proposal Five—Approval of an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to include an officer exculpation provision. Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote on the matter. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on this proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote on this proposal and therefor an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Proposal Five is not considered to be a “routine” item, so if you are a beneficial owner (on the record date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in a brokerage account or by a broker, bank or other nominee) and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote with respect to this proposal, your broker, bank or other nominee may not vote on this proposal, and those votes will be counted as broker “non-votes.” Broker non-votes have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” this proposal.

Proposal Six—Approval of the adjournment of the Annual Meeting to the extent there are insufficient votes at the Annual Meeting to approve any of the above proposals. Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes properly cast for and against such matter. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on this proposal. If you abstain from voting on this matter, your shares will not be counted as “votes cast” with respect to such matter, and the abstention will have no effect on the proposal. Proposal Six is not considered to be a routine item, so if you are a beneficial owner (on the record date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in a brokerage account or by a broker, bank or other nominee) and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote with respect to this proposal, your broker, bank or other nominee may not vote on this proposal, and those votes will be counted as broker “non-votes.” Broker non-votes will have no effect on the proposal.

We request that you vote your shares by proxy following the methods as instructed by the Notice: over the Internet, by telephone or by mail. If you choose to vote by mail, your shares will be voted in accordance with your voting instructions if the proxy card is received prior to the Annual Meeting. If you sign and return your proxy card but do not give voting instructions, your shares will be voted FOR: (i) the election of all of the Company’s five (5) nominees as directors; (ii) the non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers; (iii) the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025; (iv) the approval of an amendment and restatement of the 2021 Amended and Restated BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. Stock Option and Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 5,000,000 shares; and (v) the approval of an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to include an officer exculpation provision, and (vi) as the proxy holders deem advisable, in their discretion, on other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Voting by Proxy Over the Internet or by Telephone

Stockholders whose shares are registered in their own names may vote by proxy by mail, over the Internet or by telephone. Instructions for voting by proxy over the Internet or by telephone are set forth on the Notice. The Internet and telephone voting facilities will close at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, June 19, 2025. The Notice will also provide instructions on how you can elect to receive future proxy materials electronically or in printed form by mail. If you choose to receive future proxy materials electronically, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to the proxy materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials electronically or in printed form by mail will remain in effect until you terminate such election.

If you are a stockholder of record as of April 21, 2025, you may vote online by attending the virtual Annual Meeting and following the instructions posted at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BBIO2025. If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee and do not have a 16-digit control number but wish to vote online at the meeting, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee so that you can be provided with a control number or legal proxy.

Those without a control number may attend as guests of the Annual Meeting. Guests will not have the option to vote or ask questions during the meeting.

If your shares are held in street name, the voting instruction form sent to you by your broker, bank or other nominee should indicate whether the institution has a process for beneficial holders to provide voting instructions over the Internet or by telephone. A number of banks and brokerage firms participate in a program that also permits stockholders whose shares are held in street name to direct their vote over the Internet or by telephone. If your bank or brokerage firm gives you this opportunity, the voting instructions from the bank or brokerage firm that accompany this Proxy Statement will tell you how to use the Internet or telephone to direct the vote of shares held in your account. If your voting instruction form does not include Internet or telephone information, please complete and return the voting instruction form in the self-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided by your broker. Stockholders who vote by proxy over the Internet or by telephone need not return a proxy card or voting instruction form by mail, but may incur costs, such as usage charges, from telephone companies or Internet service providers.

Revocability of Proxies

Any proxy may be revoked at any time before it is exercised by filing an instrument revoking it with the Company’s Secretary or by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date prior to the time of the Annual Meeting. Stockholders who have voted by proxy over the Internet or by telephone or have executed and returned a proxy and who then virtually attend the Annual Meeting and desire to vote are requested to notify the Secretary in writing prior to the time of the Annual Meeting. We request that all such written notices of revocation to the Company be addressed to Damian Wilmot, Secretary, c/o BridgeBio Pharma, Inc., at the address of our principal executive offices at 3160 Porter Drive, Suite 250, Palo Alto, CA 94304.

Stockholder Proposals to be Presented at the Next Annual Meeting

Any stockholder who meets the requirements of the proxy rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) may submit proposals to the Board of Directors to be presented at the 2026 annual meeting. Such proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and be submitted in writing by notice delivered or mailed by first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, to our Secretary at our principal executive offices at the address set forth above no later than December 26, 2025 in order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials to be disseminated by the Board of Directors for such annual meeting. We also encourage you to submit any such proposals via email to ir@bridgebio.com. If the date of the 2026 annual meeting is moved by more than 30 days from the date contemplated at the time of the previous year’s proxy statement, then notice must be received within a reasonable time before we begin to print and send proxy materials. If that happens, we will publicly announce the deadline for submitting a proposal in a press release or in a document filed with the SEC. A proposal submitted outside the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act will be considered untimely if received after March 22, 2026.

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”) also provide for separate notice procedures to recommend a person for nomination as a director or to propose business to be considered by stockholders at a meeting. To be considered timely under these provisions, the stockholder’s notice must be received by our Secretary at our principal executive offices at the address set forth above no earlier than February 20, 2026, and no later than March 22, 2026. Our Bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice.

To comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than April 21, 2026.

The Board of Directors, a designated committee thereof or the chairperson of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the introduction of any stockholder proposal if it is not made in compliance with the applicable notice provisions.
