CUSIP No. 918385 105

SCHEDULE 13D

Page 11 of 14

ATM Offering

In April 2020, the Issuer established an at-the-market equity program, pursuant to which it may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of its Class A Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $13.0 million (the “ATM Offering”). In January 2021 and June 2021, the Issuer increased the size of the ATM Offering by an aggregate offering price of $5.5 million and $50.0 million, respectively. Based on information included in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on the Q2 2021 Form 10-Q, the Issuer sold 2,180,337 shares of its Class A Common Stock under the ATM Offering during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Issuer sold 2,638,306 shares of its Class A Common Stock under the ATM Offering.

Lincoln Park Capital Transaction

In November 2020, the Issuer entered into the purchase agreement (the “LPC Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) pursuant to which the Issuer has the right to sell to Lincoln Park shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock having an aggregate value of up to $47.0 million.  Based on information included in the Q2 2021 Form 10-Q, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Issuer sold 441,726 and 3,941,726 shares under the LPC Purchase Agreement, respectively.

As a result of these transactions, among other items, the amount of the Issuer’s Class A common stock has increased to 60,193,967 as of August 4, 2021 based on information included in the Q2 2021 Form 10-Q.  As a result of the increase in the amount of the Issuer’s Class A common stock outstanding, the percentage of outstanding Class A common stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person has passively decreased as more fully described in Item 5 below. This amendment is being filed due to such passive decrease.

The information contained in the first four paragraphs of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) The ROP Revocable Trust directly or indirectly controls MacAndrews & Forbes, M&F LLC, M&F Group, MFV, M&F TTP, M&F TTP Two and RLX Holdings One. Including (i) the 23,084,267 shares of Class B Common Stock (which are exchangeable, together with a corresponding vTv Unit, for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis) outstanding and (ii) 1,823,917 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable to M&F Group upon exercise of the Warrants:

The number of shares reported as beneficially owned by the ROP Revocable Trust includes 49,713 shares of Class B Common Stock and corresponding vTv Units that may be deemed to be directly beneficially owned by the Ronald O. Perelman 2013 Trust. Mr. Perelman disclaims any beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.

(b) The total Class A Common Stock beneficial ownership of (i) Mr. Perelman and the ROP Revocable Trust represents approximately 72.3% of the Class A Common Stock, (ii) MacAndrews & Forbes represents approximately 71.4% of the Class A Common Stock, (iii) MFV represents approximately 32.7% of the Class A Common Stock, (iv) M&F TTP and M&F TTP Two represents approximately 29.8% of the Class A Common Stock, (v) M&F LLC and M&F Group represents approximately 26.9% of the Class A Common Stock and (vi) RLX Holdings One represents approximately 11.6% of the Class A Common Stock (assuming, in the case of MFV, M&F TTP and M&F TTP Two, that there is a total of 83,287,827 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, which is the sum of (i) 60,193,967 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and (ii) 23,093,860 shares of Class A Common Stock that are issuable in exchange for the 23,093,860 shares of Class B Common Stock and corresponding vTv Units outstanding, in each case, as of August 4, 2021, and, in the case of the beneficial ownership of Mr. Perelman, the ROP Revocable Trust, MacAndrews & Forbes, M&F LLC, M&F Group and RLX Holdings One that there is a total of 85,111,744 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, which is the sum of (i) 60,193,967 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, (ii) 23,093,860 shares of Class A Common Stock that are issuable in exchange for the 23,094,221 shares of Class B Common Stock and corresponding vTv Units outstanding and (iii) 1,823,917 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable to M&F Group upon exercise of the Warrants, in each case, as of August 4, 2021.

The responses of each Reporting Person to Items 7 through 11 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D relating to beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A Common Stock are incorporated herein by reference.
