Item 3. Source or Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 3, 2019 by and among Restoration Robotics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), Venus Concept Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Israel (Venus) and certain investors, including EWHP and EWHP-A (the Securities Purchase Agreement), on November 7, 2019 (the Closing Date), EWHP and EWHP-A (each an EWHP Investor, and collectively, the EWHP Investors), completed the purchase of 1,439,437 and 57,911 units (the Units), respectively, issued and sold by the Company at a purchase price of $3.75 per Unit (the Purchase Price), each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Common Stock) of the Company together with a warrant to purchase 0.5 share of Common Stock (the Financing). The warrants are exercisable at a purchase price of $6.00 per share (the Warrants) andwill be exercisable six months after the closing of the Financing until on or prior to the close of business on November 7, 2024.

Concurrent with and as a condition to the closing of the Financing, the Company completed its business combination with Venus, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of March 15, 2019, as amended from time to time (the Merger Agreement), by and among the Company, Venus and Radiant Merger Sub Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Israel and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub). Under the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Venus, with Venus surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the Merger). The Merger became effective on November 7, 2019.

At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding ordinary and preferred share of Venus, nominal value of New Israeli Shekels 0.001 each (a Venus Share), other than shares held by Venus as treasury stock or held by the Company or Merger Sub, were converted into the right to receive 8.6506 (the Exchange Ratio) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (a Company Share), and (ii) each outstanding Venus stock option and warrant was assumed by the Company and converted into and become an option or warrant (as applicable) exercisable for Company Shares with the number and exercise price adjusted by the Exchange Ratio. An aggregate of approximately 212.5 million shares of Common Stock was issued to the Venus shareholders in the Merger on a pre-split basis, which does not include approximately 49.6 million shares underlying outstanding options and warrants. Immediately after the effective time of the Merger, and after giving effect to the conversion of all Venus convertible notes and Restoration Robotics convertible notes and the issuance of Common Stock and Warrants in the Financing, there were approximately 29.7 million shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Immediately following the effective time of the Merger and prior to completion of the Financing, the Company effected a 15-for-1 reverse stock split of the common stock (the Reverse Stock Split) and the Company changed its corporate name from Restoration Robotics, Inc. to Venus Concept Inc. (the Name Change), and the business conducted by Venus became the primary business conducted by the Company. Venus is an innovative global medical technology company that develops, commercializes and delivers minimally invasive and non-invasive medical aesthetic technologies and related practice enhancement services.

As a result of the completion of the Merger, EWHP received a total of 3,202,053 shares of Common Stock in the Company in exchange for 4,844,231 shares and 708,078 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock of Venus, respectively, and EWHP-A received a total of 128,827 shares of Common Stock in the Company in exchange for 194,896 shares and 28,488 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock of Venus, respectively. In addition, as a result of the completion of the Merger, EWHP also received a total of 2,104,941 shares of Common Stock of the Company upon conversion of the outstanding principal and any accrued and unpaid interest of three 8% Convertible Promissory Notes issued by Venus dated as of June 25, 2019, August 14, 2019 and August 21, 2019, in the original principal amounts of $4,806,617.66, $1,895,180.45 and $7,718,054.15, and EWHP-A received a total of 84,687 shares of Common Stock of the Company upon the conversion of the outstanding principal and any accrued interest of three 8% Convertible Promissory Notes issued by Venus dated as of June 25, 2019, August 14, 2019 and August 21, 2019 in the original principal amounts of 193,382.50, $76,248.03, and $310,517.37. EWHP also received a stock option to acquire 17,301 shares of Common Stock of the Company at a purchase price of $7.05 per share as a result of the Merger in exchange for an employee stock option to acquire 30,000 Venus Shares with an original exercise price of $4.00 per share. A total of 9,005 shares are exercisable by EWHP within sixty days of the date of filing of this Form 13D.

Subject to certain conditions, the EWHP Investors are entitled to designate for nomination one person (the EWHP Investor Designee) to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board). The initial EWHP Investor Designee is R. Scott Barry.

The Securities sold and issued in the Financing or acquired as a result of the Merger have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Transaction, the EWHP Investors entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Company (the Registration Rights Agreement), effective as of the closing of the Transaction. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is required to register the shares of Common Stock held by EWHP Investors and those that may be acquired upon exercise of the Warrants for resale on a registration statement filed with the SEC within ninety (90) days following the Closing. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary terms and conditions for a transaction of this type.

Private Placement Transaction Documents

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such documents and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants (a) are intended as a way of allocating the risk between the parties to the Securities Purchase Agreement and not as statements of fact, and (b) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by stockholders of, or other investors in, the Company. Accordingly, the Securities Purchase Agreement is being filed with this report only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the transactions, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company. Stockholders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company.
