TardiMed is a Connecticut limited liability company and Mr. Derby is a United States Citizen.

(d) — (e) During the last five years, the Reporting Persons have not been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding 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.

Item 4 Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended as follows:

Mr. Derby is the Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”). Mr. Derby was appointed to the Board effective May 18, 2020 and will serve as a director with a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2021, when he is expected to stand for re-election by a vote of the Issuer’s stockholders.

 

Zachary Rome, a partner at TardiMed, serves as the Issuer’s Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Secretary and a member of the Board. Mr. Rome was appointed to the Board on May 18, 2020 and will serve as a director with a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2021 when he is expected to stand for re-election by a vote of the Issuer’s stockholders. As of September 14, 2020, Mr. Rome individually holds 132,209 value appreciation rights (“VARs”) of the Issuer, of which 1/5 are vested. Upon valid exercise of vested and exercisable VARs, the Issuer shall pay to the Reporting Person, in a single lump sum cash payment, an amount equal to the product of (a) the excess of (i) fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise, over (ii) the exercise price, multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which VARs are being exercised (the "VAR Amount"). Notwithstanding the foregoing the Issuer may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay the VAR Amount in the form of shares of Common Stock that are equivalent in value to the VAR Amount.

Joseph Lucchese, a partner of TardiMed, serves as the Issuer’s Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer. As of September 14, 2020, Mr. Lucchese individually holds options to purchase an aggregate of 97,083 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.87, none of which are vested.

Subject to the agreements described in Item 6 below, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire, or cause to be acquired, additional securities of the Issuer, to dispose of, or cause to be disposed of, such securities at any time or to formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities, to the extent deemed advisable in light of general investment and trading policies of the Reporting Persons, market conditions or other factors.

Each of the Reporting Persons, in its capacity as a stockholder or other security holder of the Issuer, may engage in discussions with management, one or more members of the board of directors, one or more other stockholders, one or more representatives and/or other relevant parties of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to its operations, or encourage such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: a merger; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, and may discuss ideas that, if effected, may relate to or result in any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D.

Mr. Derby has sole voting and dispositive control over the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock held by TardiMed. As a result, Mr. Derby has the power to direct the vote and disposition of the Common Stock held by TardiMed, and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Stock held by TardiMed. By virtue of such ownership, TardiMed may be deemed to have voting and investment power with respect to the 5,437,517 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer and as a result may be deemed to have beneficial ownership over such securities. As of September 14, 2020, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, TardiMed may be deemed to beneficially own 45.2% of the Common Stock deemed issued and outstanding.
