SCHEDULE 13D
Explanatory Note.
This Amendment No. 2 (this Amendment) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on July 3, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on February 13, 2020 (collectively, the Original Schedule 13D), by New Leaf Ventures III, L.P. (NLV III), New Leaf Venture Associates III, L.P. (NLV Associates III), New Leaf Biopharma Opportunities I, L.P. (Biopharma I), New Leaf BPO Associates I, L.P. (NLBA I), New Leaf Venture Management III, L.L.C. (NLV Management III), Ronald M. Hunt (Hunt) and Vijay K. Lathi (Lathi). Hunt and Lathi (collectively, the Managers) are the sole managers of NLV Management III. Only those items that are hereby reported are amended; all other items reported in the Original Schedule 13D remain unchanged. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable. Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
The information reported below is based on a total of 67,715,718 shares of the Issuers Common Stock outstanding as of November 4, 2021, as reported by the Issuer in the 10-Q. This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to update the aggregate percentage of the Issuers Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons due to dilution caused by the Issuers issuance of additional shares of its Common Stock from time to time since the date of the filing of the Original Schedule 13D. Such transactions resulted in a decrease of over one percent (1%) in the aggregate percentage ownership reported by the Reporting Persons in the Original Schedule 13D.
(a,b) Regarding aggregate beneficial ownership, see Row 11 of the cover page of each Reporting Person. Regarding percentage beneficial ownership, see Row 13 of the cover page of each Reporting Person. Regarding sole power to vote shares, see Row 7 of the cover page of each Reporting Person. Regarding shared power to vote shares, see Row 8 of the cover page of each Reporting Person. Regarding sole power to dispose of shares, see Row 9 of the cover page of each Reporting Person. Regarding shared power to dispose of shares, see Row 10 of the cover page of each Reporting Person.
(e) The Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the Issuers Common Stock due to dilution caused by the Issuers issuance of additional shares of its Common Stock from time to time since the date of the filing of the Original Schedule 13D.
