MP 13 Ventures may be deemed to beneficially own, and share voting power and investment power with Cambridge Equities over, all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Cambridge Equities.

The Foundation beneficially owns 5,618,326 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 1.5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

NantBio beneficially owns 8,383,414 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 2.2% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company. NantWorks may be deemed to beneficially own, and share voting power and investment power over, all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by NantBio.

California Capital beneficially owns 8,076,159 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 2.1% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

Dr. Soon-Shiong beneficially owns 30,373,932 shares of Common Stock, which consists of 29,473,932 shares of Common Stock directly owned by Dr. Soon-Shiong and an option to purchase 900,000 shares of Common Stock held by Dr. Soon-Shiong that is fully-vested. Dr. Soon-Shiong has the sole power to vote or direct the vote, and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition, of all such 30,373,932 shares of Common Stock. In addition, Dr. Soon-Shiong may be deemed to beneficially own, and share voting power and investment power over, all shares of Common Stock described above as being beneficially owned by Cambridge Equities, the Foundation, NantBio and California Capital.

For purposes of this Item 5(a) and (b), the percentages are calculated based upon (x) the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, divided by (y) the sum of (i) 382,832,073 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 9, 2020 as provided by the Issuer, and (ii) in the case of Dr. Soon-Shiong only, an option to purchase 900,000 shares of Common Stock held by Dr. Soon-Shiong that is fully-vested.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:

In connection with a previous acquisition, the Counterparty issued contingent value rights (CVRs) to the equityholders of the acquired company, including Dr. Soon-Shiong and California Capital. The CVRs are governed by the FDA Milestone Contingent Value Rights Agreement and the Sales Milestone Contingent Value Rights Agreement, each dated July 31, 2017, between the Counterparty and the Stockholder Representative thereunder (collectively, the CVR Agreements). Under the terms of the CVRs, the holders of the CVRs are entitled to receive, in the aggregate, approximately $304.0 million upon successful approval of a Biologics License Application or a foreign equivalent for Anktiva by December 31, 2022 and approximately $304.0 million upon the first calendar year prior to December 31, 2026 in which worldwide net sales of Anktiva exceed $1.0 billion. The CVRs are payable in cash and/or shares of common stock, at the election of the holder. As a result of the Merger, the shares issuable as payment under the CVRs are shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. Dr. Soon-Shiong and California Capital together hold approximately $279.5 million of the CVRs and they have irrevocably agreed to receive shares of Common Stock of the Issuer in satisfaction of their CVRs. As a result, if the underlying conditions for payment are met, the CVRs held by Dr. Soon-Shiong and California Capital will become payable in shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable will be based on the average closing price of the Common Stock during the 20-trading day period immediately preceding the date the applicable CVR milestone was achieved.

The Counterparty previously issued to NantWorks a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of its common stock (the NantWorks Warrant) at a price of $2.65 per share. As a result of the Merger, the NantWorks Warrant entitles NantWorks to purchase, upon exercise of the warrant, 1,638,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer at a price of $3.24 per share. NantWorks right to exercise the NantWorks Warrant is subject to the satisfaction of a performance-based condition, which has not yet been satisfied.

The foregoing descriptions of the CVRs and the NantWorks Warrant are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the CVR Agreements and the NantWorks Warrant, which are attached as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 and Exhibit 99.4, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
