EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 6 (the “Amendment”) to Schedule 13D is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on behalf of Phillip Frost, M.D. (“Dr. Frost”), and Frost Gamma Investments Trust (“FGIT”) and relates to the common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of BioCardia, Inc. (the “Issuer”). This Amendment amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed by OPKO, Dr. Frost and FGIT with the SEC on June 12, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated October 23, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 2, dated November 19, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 3, dated December 28, 2022, as amended by Amendment No. 4, dated February 6, 2024, as amended by Amendment No. 5, dated February 27, 2024 (the “June 2019 Schedule 13D”), which amended and restated the Schedule 13D filed on February 14, 2019. As noted in the June 2019 Schedule 13D, any group between Dr. Frost and OPKO that may have existed with respect to securities of the Issuer prior to the June 2019 Schedule 13D has ceased to exist. Dr. Frost and FGIT (the “Reporting Persons”) are the reporting persons with respect to this Amendment. Except as set forth herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported by the Reporting Persons in the June 2019 Schedule 13D.

FGIT holds 1,286,454 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 4.8% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding shares, based on 26,732,542 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 27, 2024, as reported by the Issuer on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024.

Dr. Frost is the sole trustee of FGIT. On June 6, 2019, the Issuer effected a 1-9 reverse stock split of its common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The amount of securities reported on this Schedule 13D have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Dr. Frost and FGIT’s reported ownership does not include securities owned by OPKO. In addition to serving as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OPKO, Dr. Frost and entities controlled by Dr. Frost (including FGIT) beneficially own approximately 35% of the outstanding common stock of OPKO. Dr. Frost and FGIT each disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer owned by OPKO.

 

Dr. Frost is the trustee of FGIT. Frost Gamma Limited Partnership is the sole and exclusive beneficiary of FGIT. Dr. Frost is one of two limited partners of Frost Gamma Limited Partnership. The general partner of Frost Gamma Limited Partnership is Frost Gamma, Inc. and the sole shareholder of Frost Gamma, Inc. is Frost-Nevada Corporation. Dr. Frost is the sole shareholder of Frost-Nevada Corporation. As a result of the foregoing, Dr. Frost is also considered beneficial owner of the securities owned by FGIT. Dr. Frost disclaims beneficial ownership in the securities except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein.

 

(e) On March 25, 2024, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Issuer’s Common Stock.
