The address of the principal business office of each of CPMG and Mr. McGaughy is 2000 McKinney Ave, Suite 2125, Dallas, Texas 75201.

Item 3.

On June 30, 2020, pursuant to the Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, Ibisbill purchased 5,895,507 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company for a cash purchase price of $28,999,998.94.  On December 30, 2020, pursuant to a the Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, Ibisbill purchased 795,152 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for a cash purchase price of $9,999,990.59.  Each share of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock was initially convertible at any time at the option of the holder, without payment of additional consideration, into Shares on a 1 for 1 basis, and had no expiration date.

On March 12, 2021, in connection with the Company's initial public offering ("IPO"), the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 1.2-for-1 forward split of its common stock, with appropriate adjustments made to the conversion prices of each series of the Company's preferred stock.

Upon closing of the IPO on March 23, 2021, each share of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock automatically converted into Shares for no additional consideration, on a 1.2-for-1 basis.  Accordingly, the 5,895,507 shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted into 7,074,608 Shares and the 795,152 shares of Series C Preferred Stock converted into 954,182 Shares.

In addition, Ibisbill purchased 450,000 Shares in the IPO, at a purchase price of $20 per Share, for an aggregate purchase price of $9,000,000.

Also in connection with the IPO, on March 18, 2021, Mr. McGaughy was awarded stock options to purchase 52,000 Shares at a strike price of $20 per Share.  These stock options vest in 36 equal monthly installments commencing on April 18, 2021, subject to Mr. McGaughy’s continued service as director of the Company through each vesting date, and expire on March 18, 2031.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction

The response to Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein.

Mr. McGaughy is member of the Company’s board of directors, a position he has held since June 2020.

The Reporting Persons acquired and hold the Shares for investment purposes, and such purchases have been made in the Reporting Persons' ordinary course of business. The Reporting Persons expect to review from time to time their investment in the Company and may, depending on the market and other conditions: (i) purchase additional Shares, options or related derivatives in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise and (ii) sell all or a portion of the Shares, options or related derivatives now beneficially owned or hereafter acquired by them.

Also, consistent with their investment intent, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with, without limitation, one or more shareholders of the Company, one or more officers of the Company and/or one or more members of the Board regarding the Company, including but not limited to its operations, governance and control.

Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Investors’ Rights Agreement

Ibisbill and certain other Company shareholders (the “Parties”) are party to a Second Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement dated December 30, 2020 (the “Investors’ Rights Agreement”) with the Company. Pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement, the Parties have been given certain registration rights, including demand, piggyback and Form S-3 registration rights (subject to certain limitations and the expiration, waiver or termination of the lock-up agreements, described below) with respect to the Shares then held by them and the Shares issued to them upon conversion of the Company’s convertible preferred stock in connection with the IPO (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”).  Subject to certain limitations, the Company is required to pay all expenses relating to any demand, piggyback or Form S-3 registration, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, stock transfer taxes and any additional fees of counsel for the selling stockholders, subject to specified conditions and limitations.  The Investors’ Rights Agreement contains customary cross-indemnification provisions, pursuant to which the Company is obligated to indemnify the selling stockholders in the event of material misstatements or omissions in the applicable registration statement attributable to us, and the selling stockholders are obligated to indemnify us for material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement attributable to them, subject to certain limitations.  The registration rights granted under the Investors’ Rights Agreement will terminate with respect to any particular stockholder upon the earlier of (a) the closing of a deemed liquidation event, as defined in the Company’s certificate of incorporation, (b) with respect to each stockholder, at such time such stockholder is able to sell all of its shares pursuant to Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act during a three-month period without registration and (c) the fifth anniversary of the closing of the IPO.

In connection with the IPO, certain parties, including Ibisbill, agreed to waive their registration rights and notice rights under the Investors’ Rights Agreement (the “Waiver Agreement”) solely with respect to the sale of Shares in the IPO pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1 filed by the Company as File Number 333-253620.

Lock-Up Agreements

The Company, its executive officers and directors (including Mr. McGaughy) and substantially all of the holders of Company Shares outstanding on the date of the IPO prospectus (including Ibisbill) entered into lock-up agreements with the underwriters (“Lock-Up Agreements”) or otherwise agreed, subject to certain exceptions, that they will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale, or otherwise dispose of or hedge any Shares, any options or warrants to purchase Shares, or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive Shares, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Jefferies LLC and Cowen and Company, LLC for a period of 180 days from the date of the IPO prospectus.

In addition to the restrictions contained in the Lock-Up Agreements described above, pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement (described above), the Company entered into an agreement with the holders of the Company’s convertible preferred stock (including Ibisbill) that contains market stand-off provisions imposing restrictions on the ability of such security holders to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Securities for a period of 180 days following the date of the IPO prospectus.

Indemnification Agreements

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements (“Indemnification Agreements”) with its directors (including Mr. McGaughy) and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware corporate law.
