This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the Common Stock), of Cerevel Therapeutics Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Issuer), and amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person on November 4, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on July 9, 2021 (the Initial Statement and, as further amended by this Amendment No. 2, the Schedule 13D). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Statement.

On March 1, 2022, the Issuer filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the 2021 Form 10-K) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which disclosed that the Issuers total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock had increased to 148,007,072. This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to report a decrease of more than one percent in the percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock that the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own, which resulted solely from the increase in the number of shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding by the Issuer.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Initial Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The information set forth in Items 2 and 3 and on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.

 

(a) - (c)

As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person holds 60,632,356 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 41.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The percentage of the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Person is based on 148,007,072 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, as reported by the Issuer in the 2021 Form 10-K.

As a result of the voting arrangements described under Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person and Pfizer Inc. and PF Equity Holdings 1 B.V. (collectively, Pfizer) may be deemed to be a group for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As of March 1, 2022, based on publicly available information, Pfizer owns 27,349,211 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 18.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock held by Pfizer.

 

(d)	Except as otherwise described in this Item 5, no one other than the Reporting Person has the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person as described in this Item 5.

 

(e)	Not applicable.
