Nussdorf, Organo PFG and Organo Investors, dated August 17, 2018 (the Exchange Agreement) concurrently with the consummation of the Merger, a portion of the outstanding obligations of Organogenesis owed to such creditors (the Organogenesis Insider Debt) was converted into Shares, and the Issuer made a cash payment to such creditors in satisfaction of the remaining portion of the Organogenesis Insider Debt, including the accrued and unpaid interest and any fees with respect to the Organogenesis Insider Debt (the Exchange). Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, the Organogenesis Insider Debt was deemed fully paid and satisfied in full and was discharged and terminated.

On December 10, 2018, in connection with the closing of the Merger, the Issuer and the Controlling Entities (controlling more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors) entered into a Controlling Stockholders Agreement (the Controlling Stockholders Agreement). The Controlling Stockholders Agreement, among other things, provides the Controlling Entities with the right to nominate an aggregate of four directors to the Issuers board of directors, with two directors designated by Alan A. Ades, one director designated by Albert Erani and one director designated by Glenn H. Nussdorf. The nomination rights shall exist for so long each individual (or, in the case of Albert Erani, together with Dennis Erani) beneficially owns at least 7.5% of the outstanding Shares. The Controlling Entities have also agreed to vote their Shares in support of such nominees, and have appointed each of Alan A. Ades, Albert Erani and Glenn H. Nussdorf as his or her attorney-in-fact in connection with the matters contemplated by the Controlling Stockholders Agreement.

The Reporting Persons acquired the Shares in connection with the Merger and became a group (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) for investment purposes and in order for the Issuer to qualify as a controlled company within the meaning of the Nasdaq Global Market rules and, as a result, qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. The Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposals that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons intend to assess the Issuers business, financial condition, and results of operations as well as economic conditions and securities markets in general and those for the Issuers shares in particular. Depending on such assessments, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional shares of the Issuer or may sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of the Shares they hold, subject to the provisions of the Controlling Stockholders Agreement, the Issuers insider trading policy and applicable securities laws. The Reporting Persons may also consider participating in any proposal to raise capital or reorganize the Issuer that the Issuer may propose or pursue in the future. Such actions will depend on a variety of factors, including current and anticipated trading prices for the Issuers common stock, alternative investment opportunities, the terms of any such proposals, and general economic, financial market and industry conditions.

At the effective time of the Merger, the size of the Issuers board of directors increased from six directors to eight directors, each of the directors of the Issuer prior to the Merger resigned and Alan A. Ades, Albert Erani, Glenn H. Nussdorf, Maurice Ades, Arthur S. Leibowitz, Wayne Mackie and Joshua Tamaroff were appointed as directors of the Issuer whose terms expire at the Issuers next annual meeting of shareholders. Maurice Ades is Alan A. Ades son.

The percentages of beneficial ownership reported in this Item 5, and on each Reporting Persons cover page to this Schedule 13D, are based on a total of 91,989,961 Shares issued and outstanding as of December 10, 2018, after giving effect to the Merger, as reported on the Issuers Current Report on Form 8-K, dated December 11, 2018.
