Item 4.

Ownership.

 

Items 5 through 9 and 11 of each of the cover pages to this Amendment No. 1 are incorporated herein by reference. Set forth below is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock directly held by each of Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. (“Life Sciences”) and 667, L.P. (“667”, and together with Life Sciences, the “Funds”), which may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

 

The information set forth below is based upon 15,466,451 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 30, 2020, as reported in the Form 10-Q of the Issuer filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2020. Such percentage figures are calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

  

Name		Number of Shares of Common Stock we own or have the right to acquire within 60 days				Percent of Class Outstanding
667, L.P.			143,787				0.9	%
Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P.			1,355,426				8.8	%
Total			1,499,213				9.7	%

 

In addition, the Funds hold shares of the Issuer’s Series A convertible preferred stock (“Convertible Preferred Stock”), a common stock equivalent with no voting rights, that is convertible into shares of Common Stock on a 1-for-1 basis. However, the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are only convertible to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion the holders thereof and their affiliates and any persons who are members of a Section 13(d) group with the holders or their affiliates would beneficially own in the aggregate, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, no more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer (“Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Due to such Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Funds cannot presently convert any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock by the above holders may change depending upon changes in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. By notice to the Issuer, the Funds may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to that Fund to any other percentage; provided that any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer. 

 

The Adviser GP, Felix J. Baker and Julian C. Baker as managing members of the Adviser GP, and the Adviser may be deemed to be beneficial owners of securities of the Issuer directly held by the Funds.

 

The Adviser GP is the sole general partner of the Adviser. Pursuant to the management agreements, as amended, among the Adviser, Life Sciences and 667 and their respective general partners, the Funds’ respective general partners relinquished to the Adviser all discretion and authority with respect to the investment and voting power of the securities held by the Funds, and thus the Adviser has complete and unlimited discretion and authority with respect to the Funds’ investments and voting power over investments.

 

Item 5.

Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

 

If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following ¨. N/A
