Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is amended and restated to read as follows:

(a)(b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Statement are incorporated herein by reference.

The aggregate 46,508,604 Common Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons represent 51.80% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares based on 89,788,054 Common Shares, issued and outstanding as of January 31, 2020, as disclosed by the Issuer on its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 10, 2020.

Sumitovant has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to 46,508,604 Common Shares. Each of Sumitomo Chemical and Sumitomo Dainippon has shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to such Common Shares. Each of Sumitomo Chemical and Sumitomo Dainippon, by virtue of their relationships to Sumitovant (as disclosed in Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D), may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) the Common Shares which Sumitovant directly beneficially owns. Each of Sumitomo Chemical and Sumitomo Dainippon disclaims beneficial ownership of such Common Shares for all other purposes.

(c) There have been no transactions in Common Shares that were effected during the past sixty days by the Reporting Persons other than as reported in this Statement.

(d) No other person is known by the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, Common Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

(e) Not applicable.
