Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

On June 29, 2020 (the “Signing Date”), the Issuer and RareGen, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RareGen”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, RareGen, Gemini Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Liquidia Merger Sub”), Gemini Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RareGen Merger Sub”), PBM RG Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Members’ Representative, and Liquidia Corporation, a newly formed Delaware corporation (“Liquidia Corporation” and, together with the Issuer, “Liquidia”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Liquidia Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Liquidia Corporation, will merge with and into the Issuer (the “Liquidia Technologies Merger”), and RareGen Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Liquidia Corporation, will merge with and into RareGen (the “RareGen Merger” and, together with the Liquidia Technologies Merger, the “Merger Transaction”). Upon consummation of the Merger Transaction, the separate corporate existences of Liquidia Merger Sub and RareGen Merger Sub will thereupon cease and the Issuer and RareGen will continue as wholly owned subsidiaries of Liquidia Corporation. In connection with the Merger Agreement, NEA 12 entered into a support agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with Liquidia and RareGen pursuant to which NEA 12 agreed, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Voting Agreement, to vote their shares of Common Stock in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and against certain competing transactions. Subject to certain exceptions, the Voting Agreement prohibits transfers by the Stockholders of any of their shares of Common Stock prior to the termination of the Voting Agreement and certain other actions that would impair the ability of the Stockholders to fulfill their obligations under the Voting Agreement. The Voting Agreement will automatically terminate upon certain events, including the termination of the Merger Agreement. The foregoing description of the Voting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Subject to the terms of the Voting Agreement and depending on market conditions, its continuing evaluation of the business and prospects of the Issuer and other factors, NEA 12 and other Reporting Persons may dispose of or acquire additional shares of the Issuer. Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans which relate to or would result in:

 

(a)

The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

 

(b)

An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

 

(c)

A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

 

(d)

Any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

 

(e)

Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;

 

(f)

Any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure;

 

(g)

Changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

 

(h)

Causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

 

(i)

A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or
