CUSIP No. 44486Q 103						Page 5 of 7 Pages

This Amendment No. 5 to the statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Humacyte, Inc. (the “Issuer”), filed by Laura E. Niklason (“Dr. Niklason”), Brady W. Dougan (“Mr. Dougan”) and Ayabudge LLC (“Ayabudge” and, together with Dr. Niklason and Mr. Dougan, the “Reporting Persons”) on September 15, 2023 (such statement, as amended herein the “Schedule 13D”), amends the Schedule 13D as set forth below.

All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 5, items in the Schedule 13D remain unchanged.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to be supplemented by the following:

On September 14, 2023, Ayabudge sold 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to institutional healthcare investors at a price of $2.78 per share for an aggregate sale price of approximately $5.6 million (excluding commissions).

Mr. Dougan used the proceeds of these transactions to pay down leverage while providing a mechanism for the purchasers to acquire shares at a time that the Issuer was not conducting a financing transaction. Dr. Niklason is treated as indirectly beneficially owning the shares of Common Stock sold. However, no shares of Common Stock directly owned by Dr. Niklason were sold in these transactions.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in full as follows:

(a)-(b)

Number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned:


Laura E. Niklason, M.D., Ph.D.						10,050,822 shares
Brady W. Dougan						10,050,822 shares
Ayabudge LLC						6,191,140 shares

Percent of class:


Laura E. Niklason, M.D., Ph.D.						9.5%
Brady W. Dougan						9.5%
Ayabudge LLC						6.0%

The percentage ownership was calculated based upon 103,434,507 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding as of August 3, 2023, as reported in the Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 14, 2023.
