Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D

The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by Consonance Capital Management LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Consonance”), Consonance Capman GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Capman”), and Dr. Mitchell Blutt, the principal of Consonance (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) on October 22, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on June 5, 2019. This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D, as amended. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.

This Schedule 13D relates to Common Stock of the Issuer purchased by Consonance through the accounts of Consonance’s private fund client and potentially through its managed account client (collectively, the “Consonance Investors”). Consonance serves as the investment manager to the Consonance Investors and may direct the vote and dispose of the 2,789,916 shares of Common Stock held by the Consonance Investors. As the general partner of Consonance, Capman may direct the vote and disposition of the 2,789,916 shares of Common Stock held by the Consonance Investors. As the principal of Consonance, Dr. Blutt may direct the vote and disposition of the 2,789,916 shares of Common Stock held by the Consonance Investors.

Item 4.

Purpose of the Transaction

Item 4 of Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded, as the case may be, as follows:

This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to report dispositions of beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to one percent or more of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock since the Reporting Persons filed their previous amendment to Schedule 13D. The disclosure in Item 5(c) below regarding transactions in the Issuer’s Common Stock effected during the previous 60 days is incorporated by reference herein. Consistent with their investment purpose, the Reporting Persons may make, or cause, further dispositions of Common Stock from time to time and may acquire, or cause to be acquired, additional shares of Common Stock, in each case depending on market conditions and other factors.

The Reporting Persons continuously assess the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic conditions, other developments and additional investment opportunities. Depending on such assessments, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer or new securities of the Issuer or may determine to purchase, sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of the Issuer’s securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons in the open market, as applicable, in privately negotiated transactions, in transactions directly with the Issuer or otherwise. Such actions will depend upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer, alternative investment opportunities, general economic, financial market and industry conditions and other factors that the Reporting Persons may deem material to their investment decision.

Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons do not have present plans or proposals at this time that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) The aggregate percentage of Common Stock reported to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is based on 41,296,937 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 28, 2019, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 2, 2019.

Consonance, as the investment manager of the Consonance Investors, may be deemed to beneficially own the 2,789,916 shares of Common Stock held by the Consonance Investors, representing approximately 6.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

In addition, Capman and Dr. Blutt, as the general partner and principal, respectively, of Consonance, the investment manager of the Consonance Investors, may also be deemed to beneficially own the 2,789,916 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Consonance Investors, representing approximately 6.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owners of any of the shares of Common Stock reported herein. Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock reported herein that are not directly owned by such Reporting Person. No Other Officer beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

(b) Consonance, Capman and Dr. Blutt have the shared power to vote and dispose of the Common Stock held by the Consonance Investors reported in this Schedule 13D.

(c) Except as previously disclosed in this Schedule 13D, as amended, Annex A attached hereto lists all transactions in the Common Stock during the past sixty (60) days by the Reporting Persons (on behalf of the Consonance Investors). Each of the transactions in the Common Stock were effected in the open market.

(d) The Consonance Investors hold the shares of Common Stock reported herein. Consonance Capital Master Account L.P. has the right to receive and the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, and proceeds from the sale of, more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Other than as set forth herein, no person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock.

(e) Not applicable.
