The disclosure in Item 4 below is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The securities of the Issuer reported herein were purchased by 667, L.P. (“667”) and Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. (“Life Sciences” and together with 667, the “Funds”) with the working capital of the Funds both in transactions with the underwriters (as described below) and as a result of conversions of securities formerly acquired in private transactions directly with the Issuer. The aggregate purchase price of the securities of the Issuer directly held by the Funds was approximately $80,304,000.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of the Transaction.

 

On September 17, 2019, the Issuer entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Jefferies, Piper Jaffray, Stifel and Guggenheim Securities (the “Underwriters”), related to an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 10,937,500 shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Issuer at a price to the public of $16.00 per share. In addition, the Issuer granted the Underwriters an option exercisable for 30 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement to purchase, at the public offering price less any underwriting discounts and commissions, up to an additional 1,640,625 shares of Common Stock to cover overallotments, if any. The IPO closed on September 20, 2019.

 

Pursuant to the IPO, 667 and Life Sciences purchased 260,796 and 2,883,204 shares of Common Stock, respectively, at the offering price of $16.00 per share, totaling 3,144,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. Each of 667 and Life Sciences purchased the shares of Common Stock with their working capital.

 

On September 20, 2019, 667 and Life Sciences acquired 187,942 and 2,081,895 shares of non-voting common stock of the Issuer (“Non-Voting Common Stock”), respectively, resulting from the automatic conversion upon IPO of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Issuer (“Series C Preferred”) on a 1 for 1 basis without consideration.

 

Dr. Kelvin M. Neu, a full-time employee of the Adviser, has served on the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) since July 8, 2019. The policy of the Funds and the Adviser does not permit full-time employees of the Adviser to receive compensation for serving as a director of the Issuer, and the Funds are instead entitled to the pecuniary interest in any compensation received for his service.

 

On September 17, 2019, Dr. Neu was granted 12,100 options to purchase Common Stock of the Issuer (“Stock Options”) at an exercise price of $16.00 per share of which 1/3 vest on September 17, 2020 with an additional 1/36 of the shares vesting monthly thereafter subject to Dr. Neu’s continued service on the Board.

 

The Funds hold securities of the Issuer for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons or their affiliates may purchase additional securities or dispose of securities in varying amounts and at varying times depending upon the Reporting Persons’ continuing assessments of pertinent factors, including the availability of shares of Common Stock or other securities for purchase at particular price levels, the business prospects of the Issuer, other business investment opportunities, economic conditions, stock market conditions, money market conditions, the attitudes and actions of the Board and management of the Issuer, the availability and nature of opportunities to dispose of securities of the Issuer and other plans and requirements of the particular entities. The Reporting Persons may discuss items of mutual interest with the Issuer, which could include items in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Depending upon their assessments of the above factors, the Reporting Persons or their affiliates may change their present intentions as stated above and they may assess whether to make suggestions to the management of the Issuer regarding financing, and whether to acquire additional securities of the Issuer (by means of open market purchases, privately negotiated purchases, exercise of some or all of the Stock Options, or otherwise) or to dispose of some or all of the securities of the Issuer under their control.

 

Except as otherwise disclosed herein, at the present time, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals with respect to any extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer including, without limitation, those matters described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

ITEM 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a) and (b) Items 7 through 11 and 13 of each of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.

 

The information set forth in Item 4 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

 

Set forth below is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock directly held by each of the Funds, which may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, as well as shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon conversion of Non-Voting Common Stock, subject to the limitation on exercise described below.

 

Holder		Common Stock				Non-Voting Common Stock
667, L.P.			260,796				187,942
Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P.			2,883,204				2,081,895
Total			3,144,000				2,269,837

By written notice to the Issuer, the Funds may from time to time increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to that Fund to any other percentage. Any such change will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer. As a result of this restriction, the number of shares that may be issued upon conversion of the Non-Voting Common Stock by the above holders may change depending upon changes in the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

The Adviser GP is the sole general partner of the Adviser. Pursuant to management agreements, as amended, among the Adviser, the Funds, and their respective general partners, the Funds’ respective general partners relinquished to the Adviser all discretion and authority with respect to the investment and voting power of the securities held by the Funds, and thus the Adviser has complete and unlimited discretion and authority with respect to the Funds’ investments and voting power over investments.
