SCHEDULE 13G

This Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13G (this Amendment) is being filed on behalf of Highland Capital Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (Highland Capital), Strand Advisors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Strand), The Dugaboy Investment Trust, a Delaware Trust (the Trust), and James D. Dondero (collectively, the Reporting Persons). This Amendment modifies the original Schedule 13G filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2019 (the Original 13G) by the Reporting Persons (except for the Trust which is reporting for the first time).

Effective January 2020, Mr. Dondero is no longer a member of the board of Strand as a result of a change of control of Highland Capital.

Highland Capital serves as the investment advisor to a certain private fund (the HCM Fund). This Amendment relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Common Stock), of Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Issuer), held by (i) the HCM Fund, (ii) certain other funds and managed accounts ultimately advised by James D. Dondero (together with the HCM Fund, the Funds) and (iii) the Trust, the shares held by which James D. Dondero has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of.
