Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On May 23, 2019, Jacobs Investment and the Issuer, then known as Constellation Alpha Capital Corp., entered into a Subscription Agreement (as amended, the Subscription Agreement). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Jacobs Investment agreed to purchase 153,846 shares of the Common Stock (prior to adjusting for the one-for-two reverse stock split described below) at price of $3.25 per share (before adjusting for such reverse stock split), for an aggregate subscription amount of $500,000.

The Subscription Agreement was one of a series of subscription agreements the Issuer entered into with several institutional investors as well as certain existing investors in DermTech Operations (defined below), pursuant to which such investors agreed to purchase common and preferred shares of the Issuer, collectively referred to as the PIPE Shares, in a private placement (the PIPE Financing) through which the Issuer would raise an aggregate of approximately $24,000,000, less certain offering expenses payable by the Issuer (the PIPE Consideration). The purpose of PIPE Financing was to raise additional working capital for the Issuer following the consummation of the business combination transactions described below. The consummation of the PIPE Financing was contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of such business combination transactions.

On May 29, 2019, the Issuer, then known as Constellation Alpha Capital Corp., DermTech Operations, Inc., then known as DermTech, Inc. (DermTech Operations), and DT Merger Sub, Inc. (Merger Sub) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the Merger Agreement), pursuant to which Merger Sub would merge with and into DermTech Operations (the Business Combination), with DermTech Operations surviving the Business Combination as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer.

On August 27, 2019, in connection with the Business Combination, the Issuer re-domiciled out of the British Virgin Islands and continued as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware.

On August 29, 2019, (i) the Issuer consummated the PIPE Financing, and (ii) the Issuer, DermTech Operations and Merger Sub consummated the Business Combination. As a result of the Business Combination, all issued and outstanding common stock of DermTech Operations converted into and became common stock of the Issuer, all issued and outstanding stock options of DermTech Operations converted into and became stock options of the Issuer, and all issued and outstanding restricted stock units of DermTech Operations became restricted stock units with the right to receive Common Stock of the Issuer.

CUSIP NO. 24984K105		13D

 

On August 29, 2019, following the consummation of the PIPE Financing and the Business Combination, the Issuer (i) changed its name from Constellation Alpha Capital Corp. to DermTech, Inc. pursuant to the filing of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, and (ii) effected a one-for-two reverse stock split of its Common Stock (the Reverse Stock Split) pursuant to the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Following the consummation of the PIPE Financing and the Business Combination, and after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, there were approximately 11,964,288 shares of the Common Stock outstanding.

Upon the consummation of the PIPE Financing and after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, Jacobs Investment acquired 76,923 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 paid with existing funds held by Jacobs Investment.

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Issuer issued shares of its Common Stock to the previous stockholders of DermTech Operations, which included Mr. Jacobs and Jacobs Investment, based on an exchange ratio of 1.16150415935026 shares of Issuer Common Stock for each share of DermTech Operations common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination (the Exchange Ratio). In addition, the outstanding stock options and restricted stock units of DermTech Operations were cancelled and exchanged for stock options and restricted stock units of the Issuer that now represent the right to purchase or receive, as applicable, a number of shares of Issuer Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of DermTech Operations common stock previously represented by such options and units. The Exchange Ratio was determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

Upon the completion of the Business Combination and after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, (i) Jacobs Investment acquired an aggregate of 721,055 shares of Common Stock, (ii) Mr. Jacobs acquired 429,779 shares of Common Stock, stock options exercisable for 22,535 shares of Common Stock (of which 18,417 are exercisable within 60 days of the date of this filing) and restricted stock units having the right to receive 16,432 shares of Common Stock (all of which vest within 60 days of the date of this filing), and (iii) Jacobs Family Trust acquired 624 shares of Common Stock, which Mr. Jacobs, as one of the Trustees of the Jacobs Family Trust, may be deemed to beneficially own. All such Common Stock and Issuer equity securities were acquired pursuant to the Reporting Persons exchange of previously held common stock and equity securities of DermTech Operations.

This foregoing summary of the PIPE Financing and the Business Combination does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the exhibits filed with this Schedule 13D (the Schedule 13D Exhibits), which are further described in the Issuers Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on September 5, 2019 (the September 5 8-K).
