Item 4.

Ownership

 

(a)

Amount beneficially owned:

 

As of the close of business on December 31, 2021, the Reporting Persons held 910,750 Class A Warrants (the “Class A Warrants”) exercisable into an aggregate of 910,750 Shares. Each Class A Warrant has an exercise price per Share equal to $13.20 and expires on April 16, 2024. The Class A Warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, provided that the holder will be prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from exercising the Class A Warrants for Shares to the extent that immediately prior to or after giving effect to such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and other attribution parties, would own more than 9.99% of the total number of Shares then issued and outstanding (the “Class A Blocker”). As of the close of business on December 31, 2021, the Class A Blocker limits the aggregate exercise of Class A Warrants by the Reporting Persons to 910,750 out of 910,750 Shares underlying the Class A Warrants owned by the Reporting Persons in the aggregate.

 

As of the close of business on December 31, 2021, the Reporting Persons held 1,000,000 Class B Warrants (the “Class B Warrants”) exercisable into an aggregate of 1,000,000 Shares. Each Class B Warrant has an exercise price per Share equal to $8.70 and will expire on the date that is the earlier of (a) the date that is thirty (30) calendar days following the date on which the Issuer issues a press release regarding topline data from its Phase III clinical trial of mavorixafor for the treatment of WHIM syndrome (or, if such date is not a business day, the following business day) and (b) November 28, 2024. The Class B Warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, provided that the holder will be prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from exercising the Class B Warrants for Shares to the extent that immediately prior to or after giving effect to such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and other attribution parties, would own more than 9.99% of the total number of Shares then issued and outstanding (the “Class B Blocker”). As of the close of business on December 31, 2021, the Class B Blocker limits the aggregate exercise of Class B Warrants by the Reporting Persons to 1,000,000 out of 1,000,000 Shares underlying the Class B Warrants owned by the Reporting Persons in the aggregate.

 

As of the close of business on December 31, 2021, the Reporting Persons held 500,000 Pre-Funded B Warrants (the “Pre-Funded B Warrants”) exercisable into an aggregate of 500,000 Shares. Each Pre-Funded Warrant has an exercise price per Share equal to $0.001 per Share. The Pre-Funded B Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and do not expire. However, under the Pre-Funded B Warrants, the Issuer may not effect the exercise of any Pre-Funded B Warrant, and a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any Pre-Funded B Warrant, which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause (i) the aggregate number of Shares beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 9.99% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, or (ii) the combined voting power of the Issuer’s securities beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 9.99% of the combined voting power of all of the Issuer’s securities then outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded B Warrants (the “Pre-Funded B Warrants Blocker”, and together with the Class A Blocker and the Class B Blocker, the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). As of the close of business on December 31, 2021, the Pre-Funded B Warrants Blocker limits the exercise of Pre-Funded B Warrants by the Reporting Persons to 269,043 out of 500,000 Shares underlying the Pre-Funded B Warrants owned by the Reporting Persons in the aggregate. BVF2 holds Pre-Funded B Warrants to purchase 195,161 additional Shares which are excluded herein as a result of the Pre-Funded B Warrants Blocker. Trading Fund OS holds Pre-Funded B Warrants to purchase 35,796 additional Shares which are excluded herein as a result of the Pre-Funded B Warrants Blocker.

 

The Reporting Persons may choose to exercise the Class A Warrants, the Class B Warrants or the Pre-Funded B Warrants in other amounts among the Reporting Persons, while continuing to comply with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

 

As of the close of business on December 31, 2021, (i) BVF beneficially owned 1,691,198 Shares, including 450,314 Shares issuable upon conversion of certain Class A Warrants, 518,856 Shares issuable upon conversion of certain Class B Warrants and 259,739 Shares issuable upon conversion of certain Pre-Funded B Warrants (ii) BVF2 beneficially owned 1,079,183 Shares, including 363,810 Shares issuable upon conversion of certain Class A Warrants, 385,449 Shares issuable upon conversion of certain Class B Warrants and 9,304 Shares issuable upon conversion of certain Pre-Funded B Warrants, and excluding 195,161 Shares issuable upon conversion of certain Pre-Funded B Warrants, and (iii) Trading Fund OS beneficially owned 178,467 Shares, including 64,996 Shares issuable upon conversion of certain Class A Warrants and 66,236 Shares issuable upon conversion of certain Class B Warrants, and excluding 35,796 Shares issuable upon conversion of certain Pre-Funded B Warrants.

 

BVF GP, as the general partner of BVF, may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,691,198 Shares beneficially owned by BVF.

 

BVF2 GP, as the general partner of BVF2, may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,079,183 Shares beneficially owned by BVF2.

 

Partners OS, as the general partner of Trading Fund OS, may be deemed to beneficially own the 178,467 Shares beneficially owned by Trading Fund OS.

 

BVF GPH, as the sole member of each of BVF GP and BVF2 GP, may be deemed to beneficially own the 2,770,381 Shares beneficially owned in the aggregate by BVF and BVF2.

 

Partners, as the investment manager of BVF, BVF2 and Trading Fund OS, and the sole member of Partners OS, may be deemed to beneficially own the 3,027,672 Shares beneficially owned in the aggregate by BVF, BVF2 and Trading Fund OS and held in a certain Partners managed account (the “Partners Managed Account”), including 78,824 Shares held in the Partners Managed Account, which includes 31,630 Shares issuable upon conversion of certain Class A Warrants and 29,459 Shares issuable upon conversion of certain Class B Warrants.

 

BVF Inc., as the general partner of Partners, may be deemed to beneficially own the 3,027,672 Shares beneficially owned by Partners.

 

Mr. Lampert, as a director and officer of BVF Inc., may be deemed to beneficially own the 3,027,672 Shares beneficially owned by BVF Inc.

 

The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by any Reporting Person as to beneficial ownership of any Shares owned by another Reporting Person. BVF GP disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by BVF. BVF2 GP disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by BVF2. Partners OS disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by Trading Fund OS. BVF GPH disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by BVF and BVF2. Each of Partners, BVF Inc. and Mr. Lampert disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by BVF, BVF2 and Trading Fund OS and held in the Partners Managed Account, and the filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that any such person or entity is the beneficial owner of any such securities.

The following percentages are based on a denominator that is the sum of (i) 28,127,315 Shares outstanding, as of December 20, 2021, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 2021 and (ii) certain or all of 910,750 Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Class A Warrants, 1,000,000 Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Class B Warrants and 269,043 Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded B Warrants, as applicable.
