This Amendment No. 1 (Amendment No. 1) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13G initially filed on August 26, 2019 (the Original Filing) by Boxer Capital, LLC (Boxer Capital), Boxer Asset Management Inc. (Boxer Management) and Joe Lewis (together with Boxer Capital and Boxer Management, the Reporting Persons). The Original Filing remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment No. 1. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 1 have the meanings set forth in the Original Filing, as amended.

 

Item 4.

Ownership.

 

(a)

Amount beneficially owned:

The Reporting Persons beneficially own 265,743 shares of Common Stock that Boxer Capital has the right to acquire within the next 60 days upon exercise of warrants to purchase 820,000 shares of Common Stock (the 2019 Warrants), which were issued in connection with an offering as set forth in the Issuers Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 29, 2019. The 2019 Warrants have an exercise price equal to $13.00 per share of Common Stock, subject to proportional adjustments in the event of stock splits or combinations or similar events. The Warrants expire on August 21, 2026. The Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance. Effective December 31, 2020, the exercise of the 2019 Warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation such that no exercise may occur if it would result in beneficial ownership in excess of 4.99% with respect to the holder and its Section 13 affiliates. Therefore, the remaining underlying shares of Common Stock for which the 2019 Warrants are exercisable are not currently reported as shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons herein. A copy of the form of 2019 Warrants is filed herewith as an exhibit and incorporated herein by reference, and any description herein of the 2019 Warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of warrant.

On November 2, 2020, the Company issued to Boxer Capital pre-funded warrants to purchase 56,950 shares of Common Stock (the 2020 Pre-funded Warrants) and warrants to purchase 331,950 shares of Common Stock (the 2020 Warrants) in connection with an offering as set forth in the Issuers Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 2, 2020. The 2020 Pre-funded Warrants are immediately exercisable at a price of $0.001 per share of Common Stock. The 2020 Warrants are immediately exercisable at a price of $6.50 per share of Common Stock and will expire five years from the date of issuance. However, because of the stock ownership limitations described above, the underlying shares of Common Stock for which the 2020 Pre-funded Warrants and 2020 Warrants are exercisable are not currently reported as shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons herein. Copies of the forms of 2020 Warrants and 2020 Pre-funded Warrants are filed herewith as exhibits and incorporated herein by reference, and any description herein of the 2020 Warrants and the 2020 Pre-funded Warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the forms of warrants.

The information reported in this Amendment No. 1 reflects the Issuers 1-for-10 reverse stock split, which was effective on February 5, 2020.
