This Amendment No. 3 amends the statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) related to the ordinary shares, nominal value $0.01 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of RVL Pharmaceuticals plc, an Irish public limited company (the “Company”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 23, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on November 23, 2020 and Amendment No. 2 thereto filed with the SEC on October 14, 2021. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D and, unless amended hereby, all information previously filed remains in effect.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is amended to add the following paragraph immediately following the sixth paragraph:

 

On August 8, 2022, the Company issued 8,000,000 Ordinary Shares at a per share price of $1.55 per Ordinary Share to AHP LP pursuant to a Share Subscription Agreement dated August 4, 2022. In addition, the Company issued (i) 6,451,612 Ordinary Shares to Athyrium Opportunities IV Co-Invest 2 LP, (ii) 850,000 Ordinary Shares to Brian Markison, and (iii) 150,000 Ordinary Shares to James Schaub, in each case at the same price of $1.55 per Ordinary Share pursuant to a Share Subscription Agreement between the Company and the respective purchaser.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

The information set forth in Items 2, 3 and 4 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

 

(a) The aggregate number of Ordinary Shares and the percentage of total outstanding Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is set forth below. References to percentage ownerships of Ordinary Shares in this Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D are based upon 99,001,271 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of August 8, 2022, based on 83,549,659 shares outstanding as of May 11, 2022, and after giving effect to the issuance and allotment of Ordinary Shares on August 8, 2022 described above in Item 4. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 24,763,859 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 25.0% of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares, calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Act. The filing of this Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that a Reporting Person beneficially owns those Ordinary Shares held by any other Reporting Person.

 

Orbit III may be deemed to beneficially own 1,032,995 Ordinary Shares, which represents approximately 1.0% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares calculated in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13d-3 under the Act.

In addition, as a result of the Shareholders Agreement, the Avista Funds may be deemed to be part of such a “group” with the Altchem Entities with respect to the Company’s securities.  Based on the disclosure in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on April 25, 2022, (i) Orbit A-I may be deemed to beneficially own 1,182,243 Ordinary Shares, which represents approximately 1.2% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares calculated in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, and (ii) Altchem Limited, as the holder of 22,485,297 Ordinary Shares and the manager of Orbit A-I, may be deemed to beneficially own 23,667,540 Ordinary Shares, which represents approximately 23.9% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares calculated in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13d-3 under the Act.

 

(b) The number of Ordinary Shares as to which each of the Reporting Persons has sole or shared power to vote, direct the vote, dispose or direct the disposition are as set forth in rows seven through ten of the cover pages hereof.

 

(c) Other than as set forth in Item 4 herein, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions in the Ordinary Shares during the past 60 days.

The Share Subscription Agreement also provides AHP LP with certain registration rights. This summary description does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Share Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1 to this Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D.
