Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Spectrum), hereby files this Amendment No. 3 on Schedule 13D/A (this Amendment) to amend and supplement the statement on Schedule 13D initially filed with the SEC on September 26, 2014, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D, dated May 14, 2018 (Amendment No. 1), and subsequently amended by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D, dated April 11, 2019 (as amended, the Statement) on behalf of the Reporting Persons (as defined in Item 2), pursuant to the Joint Filer Agreement attached to this Amendment as Exhibit 99.1. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Statement.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
The information contained in Item 2 of the Statement is hereby amended and replaced with the following:
This Statement is filed on behalf of Spectrum and Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Cayman, L.P., an Exempted Limited Partnership organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (Spectrum Cayman). Spectrum and Spectrum Cayman are each referred to herein as a Reporting Person and are collectively referred to herein as the Reporting Persons.
Spectrum is a Delaware corporation. Spectrum is a biopharmaceutical company focused on acquiring, developing, and commercializing novel and targeted drug products, with a primary focus in oncology. Spectrum has an in-house clinical development organization with regulatory and data management capabilities, in addition to sales and marketing expertise to execute product launches. Currently, Spectrum and its affiliates have two oncology drugs in late stage and active development: ROLONTIS, a novel long-acting granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, analog for chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, and Poziotinib, a novel pan-HER inhibitor under investigation for non-small cell lung cancer tumors with either EGFR or HER2 exon-20 insertion mutations.
Spectrum Cayman is owned 99% by Spectrum and 1% by Spectrum Pharmaceuticals International Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Spectrum Holdings). Spectrum Holdings is the sole general partner of Spectrum Cayman and Spectrum is the sole managing member of Spectrum Holdings.
The address of the principal place of business of each of the Reporting Persons is c/o Spectrum at 11500 South Eastern Avenue, Suite 240, Henderson, Nevada 89052.
During the last five years, neither of the Reporting Persons, nor any of their respective executive officers, directors, or general partners, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), nor have any such persons been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Spectrum is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of seven members, none of which individually have voting or dispositive power over the shares subject to this Statement. In accordance with the provisions of General Instruction C to Schedule 13D, information concerning the executive officers and directors of Spectrum is listed on Schedule 1 hereto and is incorporated herein by this reference.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
The information contained in Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
Between April 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020, Spectrum disposed of 813,360 shares of Common Stock, at an average price of $2.27 per share. In addition, the Issuer conducted a public offering of 23 million shares of Common Stock on July 24, 2020, which further diluted the Reporting Persons position.
Subject to applicable legal requirements, in addition to the arrangements described above, one or both of the Reporting Persons may also purchase additional securities of the Issuer from time to time in open market or private transactions, depending on their evaluation of the Issuers business, prospects and financial condition, the market for the Issuers securities, other developments concerning the Issuer, other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and general economic, money market and stock market conditions. In addition, depending upon the factors referred to above and subject to applicable legal requirements, the Reporting Persons may dispose of all or a portion of their securities of the Issuer at any time. Each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right to increase or decrease its holdings on such terms and at such times as each may decide.
Other than as described above in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons have any plan or proposal relating to or that 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 Board of Directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or terms of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board of Directors of the Issuer; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuers business or corporate structure; (g) any changes in the Issuers charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) a class of securities of the Issuer being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing 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, as amended; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above.
