SCHEDULE 13D

Explanatory Note

Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment No. 3 (this Amendment) amends and supplements certain items of the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 5, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on December 3, 2018, and as amended by Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on February 11, 2020 (together, the Original Schedule 13D), by the Reporting Persons relating to the Common Stock of Aimmune Therapeutics, Inc. (the Issuer). This Amendment amends the Original Schedule 13D on behalf of the Reporting Persons to furnish the information set forth herein. Except as set forth below, all Items of the Original Schedule 13D remain unchanged. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

On April 22, 2020, pursuant to an internal transfer, Nestle Health Science US Holdings, Inc. (NHS) transferred to Société des Produits Nestlé S.A. (SPN) 12,727,113 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 525,634 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. In connection with the intercompany transfer, SPN assumed and agreed to perform and discharge all obligations and liabilities of NHS under the 2020 Purchase Agreement, 2020 Registration Rights Agreement, the 2020 Standstill Agreement, the November 2018 Purchase Agreement, and the 2016 Purchase Agreement. Following the internal transfer, NHS, NIMCO US, Inc. and Nestlé US Holdco, Inc., were removed from the beneficial ownership chain and will no longer be Reporting Persons.

The information in Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The first paragraph of Item 5(a) (b) of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The information contained on the cover pages to this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference. The shares of Common Stock reported on this Amendment are directly held by SPN, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nestlé S.A. Based upon information contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2020, the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by SPN comprises approximately 19.6% of the Issuers issued and outstanding Common Stock.

Except for the shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock owned by SPN and the options held by Mr. Behar described in the Original Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the other persons listed on Schedule I hereto beneficially owns any other securities of the Issuer.

(c) Except as described in Item 3, neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person listed on Schedule I hereto, have effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d) No other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities covered by this Amendment.

(e) Not applicable.
