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.
