SCHEDULE 13D

Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, this Amendment (this Amendment) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2017 (the Original 13D and, together with this Amendment, the Schedule 13D). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Original 13D.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of the Original 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following after the last paragraph in Item 3:

On December 11, 2017, Mallinckrodt consummated the acquisition of Ocera through the merger of Purchaser with and into Ocera. Ocera is the surviving corporation (the Surviving Corporation) in the Merger (as defined below) and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Mallinckrodt. The aggregate cash amount payable in connection with the acquisition at closing (the Closing Amount) is approximately $42 million, together with an aggregate of up to approximately $75 million payable pursuant to the CVRs (as defined below), contingent upon the achievement of certain milestones. Mallinckrodt funded the payment of the Closing Amount from its available cash on hand and other liquid resources.

The information set forth or incorporated by reference in Item 4 is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

The Offer and withdrawal rights expired as scheduled at the end of the day, one minute after 11:59 P.M., Eastern Time, on December 8, 2017. Purchaser acquired a sufficient number of Shares to consummate, and on December 11, 2017, did consummate, the Merger without a vote of the stockholders of Ocera pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), Purchaser was merged with and into Ocera, with Ocera continuing as the Surviving Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and each Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares held (i) by Ocera as treasury stock or by Parent, Purchaser or any of Parents other subsidiaries, which Shares were cancelled and ceased to exist without consideration; and (ii) by stockholders who validly exercised appraisal rights under Delaware law with respect to such Shares) was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive, subject to any required tax withholdings, the merger consideration.

At the Effective Time, the 1,000 shares of common stock of Purchaser that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were converted into and became 1,000 shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

As a result of the Merger, Ocera ceased to be a publicly traded company and the Shares were delisted from the Nasdaq.

In connection with the Merger, each member of the Board of Directors of Ocera (the Ocera Board) resigned from the Ocera Board, including any committee thereof. At the Effective Time, the directors of Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time, Kathleen A. Schaefer, Marvin R. Haselhorst and John E. Einwalter, became the directors of the Issuer.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 (a), (b) and (e) of Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:


CUSIP No. 67552A108       Page 6 of 7 Pages

 

(a) and (b) As a result of the Merger and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Mallinckrodt and Parent acquired and, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, beneficially owned 100% of the outstanding Shares; and (ii) Mallinckrodt and Parent had shared power to vote and dispose of 100% of the Shares.

(e) As a result of the termination of its corporate existence in connection with the Merger, Purchaser ceased to be the beneficial owner of any securities of Ocera.
