Immediately following the consummation of the Merger, there were 22,835,153 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

 

 

 

 

Page 5 of 10

 

The Merger resulted in the Reporting Persons holding an aggregate of 2,290,490 shares of Common Stock as of October 28, 2019.

 

As a result of the transactions described in this Item 3, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of approximately 10.0% of the outstanding Common Stock. OrbiMed BioFund, as the general partner of OII LP and OIP LP may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of approximately 10.0% of the outstanding Common Stock. OrbiMed Israel, as the general partner of OrbiMed BioFund, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of approximately 10.0% of the outstanding Common Stock.

 

The Reporting Persons acquired their Common Stock solely for investment purposes.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

The Reporting Persons caused OII LP and OIP LP to acquire shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for the purpose of making an investment in the Issuer and not with the intention of acquiring control of the Issuer’s business on behalf of OII LP and OIP LP.

 

Merger

 

The information provided in the first paragraph of Item 3 is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

 

General

 

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement filed as exhibits to this Schedule 13D, and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes and intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

 

The Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the Issuer’s board of directors and shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: a merger, reorganization or take-private transaction that could result in the de-listing or de-registration of the Common Stock; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition of the Issuer’s board of directors.

 

Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

(a) – (b) As of the date of this filing, the Reporting Persons may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, directly or indirectly, including by reason of their mutual affiliation, to be the beneficial owners of the Common Stock described in Item 6 below. Based upon information contained in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2019, such Common Stock constitute approximately 10.0% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. OrbiMed Israel, pursuant to its authority as the sole general partner of OrbiMed BioFund, the sole general partner of OII LP and OIP LP, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the shares of Common Stock held by OII LP and OIP LP. OrbiMed BioFund, pursuant to its authority as the general partner of OII LP and OIP LP, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the shares of Common Stock held by OII LP and OIP LP. As a result, OrbiMed Israel, OrbiMed BioFund, OII LP and OIP LP share the power to direct the vote and to direct the disposition of the shares of Common Stock described in Item 6 below.

 

 

 

 

Page 6 of 10

 

(c) Other than as discussed in Item 3 in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions with respect to the Common Stock of the Issuer during the past 60 days.

 

(d) Not applicable.

 

(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

In addition to the relationships between the Reporting Persons described in Items 2, 3, and 5 above, OrbiMed BioFund is the sole general partner of OII LP and OIP LP pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreements of each of OII LP and OIP LP. OrbiMed Israel is the sole general partner of OrbiMed BioFund, pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of OrbiMed BioFund. As a result, OrbiMed BioFund has the power to direct the vote and to direct the disposition of the Shares held by OII LP and OIP LP and such power is exercised through OrbiMed Israel. OrbiMed Israel exercises this investment power through an investment committee (the “Committee”) comprised of Carl L. Gordon, Jonathan T. Silverstein, Nissim Darvish, Anat Naschitz and Erez Chimovits (“Chimovits”), each of whom disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Stock held by OII LP and OIP LP, except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein. As a result, OrbiMed BioFund and OrbiMed Israel may be deemed directly or indirectly, including by reason of their mutual affiliation, to be the beneficial owners of the Shares held by OII LP and OIP LP and to share power to direct the vote and the disposition of the Common Stock held by OII LP and OIP LP. The number of outstanding shares of Common Stock attributable to OII LP is 641,339 shares and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock attributable to OIP LP is 1,649,150 shares. OrbiMed Israel maybe be considered to hold indirectly 2,290,490 shares of Common Stock, and OrbiMed BioFund may be considered to hold indirectly 2,290,490 shares of Common Stock.

 

Chimovits serves as a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer through which he may, in the normal course of discharging his duties, exert influence and control over the affairs of the Issuer. From time to time, Chimovits may receive stock options or other awards of equity-based compensation pursuant to the Issuer’s compensation arrangements for non-employee directors. Chimovits is obligated to transfer any Common Stock granted to him by the Issuer, or the economic benefits thereof, to OrbiMed Israel or an affiliate, which in turn will ensure that such Common Stock or economic benefits are provided to OII LP and OIP LP.

 

Except as described above or elsewhere in this Schedule 13D or incorporated by reference in this Schedule 13D, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between any of the Reporting Persons or, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons named in Schedules I and II to this Schedule 13D or between any of the Reporting Persons and any other person or, to the best of their knowledge, any person named in Schedules I and II to this Schedule 13D and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
