This Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to Schedule 13D is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on behalf of OPKO Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“OPKO”) and relates to the common shares, no par value (the “Common Shares”), of VBI Vaccines Inc. (the “Issuer”). This Amendment is being filed solely as a result of a change in the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Common Shares and it amends and supplements the initial statement on Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D”) filed by OPKO with the SEC on March 31, 2017, as amended on November 1, 2017. Except as set forth herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported by OPKO in the Original Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.
ITEM 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Items 5(a)-(c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
(a) | OPKO is the direct owner of 6,678,751 Common Shares or 6.8% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Common Shares, based on 97,661,887 shares outstanding as set forth in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on February 25, 2019. |
(b) | OPKO has the sole power to vote and dispose of the 6,678,751 Common Shares owned by it. |
(c) | OPKO has not effected any transaction in the Common Shares during the last 60 days. |
OPKO’s reported ownership does not include securities owned by Frost Gamma Investment Trust (“FGIT”), an affiliate of Phillip Frost, M.D., OPKO’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“Dr. Frost”). FGIT holds 293,558 shares of Common Stock, or less than 1.0% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding shares, based on 97,661,887 shares issued and outstanding as of February 25, 2019, as reported in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Dr. Frost is the sole trustee of FGIT. OPKO disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer owned by FGIT and Dr. Frost.
In connection with undertakings made to the Securities and Exchange Commission, as part of a previously announced settlement, OPKO is evaluating all of its strategic minority investments and reporting under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In connection with this evaluation, OPKO may make additional or amended filings pursuant to Section 13(d) and/or Section 13(g) of the Exchange Act reflecting group membership.
