(formerly known as Vision-Sciences, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the Company).  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 18 shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is amended and supplemented with the addition of the following:

(a)  The Reporting Person beneficially owns 20,051,723 shares of Common Stock, or 33.2% of the shares of Common Stock deemed issued and outstanding.  The foregoing beneficial ownership percentage is based upon 60,361,754 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding following the Transactions (as defined below), as reported by the Company in its definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (File No. 000-20970), filed with the SEC on October 11, 2016.

As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed November 4, 2016, on November 3, 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 16,129,033 shares of Common Stock to Accelmed in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.  Accordingly, the Reporting Person believes that collectively, the Reporting Person and Accelmed may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of 36,180,756 shares of Common Stock, or 59.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock in the aggregate.  The Reporting Person expressly disclaims the existence of, or membership in a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act and Rule 13d-5(b) thereunder with Accelmed, as well as beneficial ownership with respect to any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Accelmed.

(b)  The Reporting Person has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of the 20,051,723 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person.

(c)  The disclosure in Item 6 of this Amendment No. 18 is incorporated by reference into this Item 5(c).

Item 6.    Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 is amended and supplemented with the addition of the following:

Note Exchange Agreement

As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed November 4, 2016, on November 3, 2016, as a condition to the closing of the Purchase Agreement, the Company converted into shares of Common Stock all of the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the Company’s promissory notes held by the Reporting Person pursuant to the terms of the Note Exchange Agreement.  Under the terms of the Note Exchange Agreement, the entire outstanding principal amount and all accrued interest on the notes held by the Reporting Person was converted into 17,688,423 shares of Common Stock, at a price per share of $1.67.  Simultaneously with the conversion of the notes and accrued interest held by the Reporting Person, all outstanding warrants to purchase Common Stock held by the Reporting Person were cancelled.


The closing of the transactions (together, the “Transactions”) contemplated by the Purchase Agreement  and the Note Exchange Agreement were subject to, among other conditions, the Company having obtained the approval of its stockholders at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, which was held on November 3, 2016.

Voting Agreement

In connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement and Note Exchange Agreement, the Reporting Person and Accelmed entered into the Voting Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the parties thereto agreed to vote any shares of Common Stock controlled or owned by them as directed by the terms of the Voting Agreement.  Each of the Reporting Person and Accelmed agreed to vote their shares of Common Stock for the other party’s nominees to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and each of the Reporting Person and Accelmed are entitled to nominate two directors. The initial nominees of the Reporting Person are the Reporting Person and Howard Zauberman, who are each current directors, and the initial nominees of Accelmed are Dr. Uri Geiger and Mr. Nachum Shamir. The Voting Agreement shall continue in effect until such time as Accelmed no longer owns any of the shares of Common Stock that Accelmed acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchased Shares”). However, the Reporting Person may terminate the Voting Agreement at any time Accelmed and its affiliates own in the aggregate less than 50% of the Purchased Shares, and Accelmed may terminate the Voting Agreement at any time the Reporting Person and his affiliates own in the aggregate less than 50% of the shares of Common Stock issued to the Reporting Person pursuant to the Note Exchange Agreement.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the closing of the Transactions, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Accelmed and the Reporting Person (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the shares issued pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Note Exchange Agreement to Accelmed and the Reporting Person (together, and including any successors and assigns to the Registration Rights Agreement, the “Holders”), upon the written demand by Accelmed. Upon the Company’s receipt of such demand notice from Accelmed, the Company must, within five business days, provide written notice of such demand notice to all Holders (who may then request that their securities be included in such registration statement). The Company is not obligated to file a registration statement without first receiving a demand notice from Accelmed. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is required to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement until the earlier of (i) three years after the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, (ii) the date upon which the securities held by the Holders cease to be Registerable Securities (as that term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), or (iii) the date upon which the Holders have completed the distribution described in the registration statement.

The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by the Company.  The foregoing description of the Note Exchange Agreement, the Voting Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 17, Exhibit 18, and Exhibit 19 to this Schedule 13D, each of which is incorporated by reference into this Item 6.
