This Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock of Solid Biosciences Inc. and amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed by BCLS SB Investco, LP on February 1, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on July 30, 2019, Amendment No. 2 filed on December 11, 2020, Amendment No. 3 filed on March 25, 2021, Amendment No. 4 filed on August 18, 2022, Amendment No. 5 filed on October 3, 2022 and Amendment No. 6 filed on December 5, 2022 (the Initial Statement and, as further amended by this Amendment No. 7, the Schedule 13D). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Statement.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds

Item 3 of the Initial Statement is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

January 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement

On January 8, 2024, the Issuer entered into a securities purchase agreement (the January 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement) with certain institutional accredited investors (the January 2024 PIPE Investors), pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to issue and sell to the January 2024 PIPE Investors in a private placement an aggregate of 16,973,103 shares of Common Stock at a price of $5.53 per share, and, to one January 2024 PIPE Investor in lieu of shares of Common Stock, a pre-funded warrant to purchase 2,712,478 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $5.529 per pre-funded warrant (the January 2024 Private Placement). The January 2024 Private Placement is expected to close on or about January 11, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. BCLS II Equity Opportunities, LP (BCLS II Equity), an affiliate of BCLSI, agreed to purchase 904,160 shares of Common Stock in the January 2024 Private Placement, for total consideration of $5,000,004.80.

References to and the description of the January 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement set forth above in this Item 3 do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the January 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit N and incorporated by reference herein.

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

Item 6 of the Initial Statement is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

January 2024 Registration Rights Agreement

On January 8, 2024, the Issuer entered into a registration rights agreement (the January 2024 Registration Rights Agreement) with the January 2024 PIPE Investors, including BCLS II Equity, pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to register for resale the shares of Common Stock issued in the January 2024 Private Placement and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants issued in the January 2024 Private Placement (collectively, the January 2024 Registrable Securities). Under the January 2024 Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale by the January 2024 PIPE Investors of their January 2024 Registrable Securities no later than 30 days following the closing of the January 2024 Private Placement (the January 2024 Filing Date). The Issuer agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable and to keep such registration statement effective until the date all January 2024 Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold or cease to be registrable securities under the January 2024 Registration Rights Agreement.

If (i) the registration statement has not been filed by the January 2024 Filing Date, (ii) the registration statement has not been declared effective by the SEC prior to the earlier of (A) five business days after the date on which the Issuer is notified by the SEC that the registration statement will not be reviewed by the SEC staff or is not subject to further comment by the SEC staff, or (B) 15 days after the January 2024 Filing Date (or, in the event the SEC reviews the registration statement, 60 days following the closing of the January 2024 Private Placement) or (iii) after the registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to the registration statement for any reason, subject to certain limited exceptions, then the Issuer has agreed to make pro rata payments to each holder of January 2024 Registrable Securities as liquidated damages in an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate amount invested by each such holder in the January 2024 Registrable Securities for the initial day of failure and for each subsequent 30-day period (or pro rata for any portion thereof) for each such month during which such event continues, subject to certain caps set forth in the January 2024 Registration Rights Agreement.

CUSIP No. 83422E 105		13D		Page 7 of 8

 

The Issuer has granted the January 2024 PIPE Investors customary indemnification rights in connection with the registration statement. The January 2024 PIPE Investors have also granted the Issuer customary indemnification rights in connection with the registration statement.

References to and the description of the January 2024 Registration Rights Agreement set forth above in this Item 6 do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the January 2024 Registration Rights Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit O and incorporated by reference herein.
