Item 1. Security and Issuer.

 

Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 under the Act, this Amendment No. 8 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on May 23, 2013, as previously amended by Amendment No. 1, filed on June 13, 2013, Amendment No. 2, filed on December 23, 2013, Amendment No. 3, filed on December 24, 2014, Amendment No. 4, filed on April 24, 2015, Amendment No. 5, filed on July 17, 2015, Amendment No. 6, filed on February 17, 2017 and Amendment No. 7 filed on August 31, 2017 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”), and is being filed on behalf of Oracle Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Oracle Partners”), Oracle Ten Fund, LP, a Delaware company (“Oracle Ten Fund”), Oracle Institutional Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Oracle Institutional Partners”), Oracle Associates, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of Oracle Partners, Oracle Ten Fund and Oracle Institutional Partners (“Oracle Associates”), Oracle Investment Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the investment manager to Oracle Ten Fund (“Investment Manager”) and Larry N. Feinberg, the managing member of Oracle Associates and the sole shareholder, director and president of the Investment Manager (each of the foregoing, a “Reporting Person” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).  This Amendment relates to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of Vermillion, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended by the addition of the following:

 

On April 13, 2018, the Issuer announced the pricing of separate but concurrent underwritten public offerings of: (i) 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.00 per share, plus a 30-day option for the underwriter to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 shares at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments, if any (the “April 2018 Offering”); and (ii) 50,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $100.00 per share (the “Series B Offering”). Each of the April 2018 Offering and the Series B Offering closed on April 17, 2018.

 

The Reporting Persons did not participate in either the April 2018 Offering or the Series B Offering. As a result of the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the April 2018 Offering, the percentage of Shares which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons decreased by over 1% which is being reported hereby.

  

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

 Items 5(a)-(c) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

 

(a) As of April 17, 2018, Oracle Partners may be deemed to beneficially own (a) 5,673,754 shares of Common Stock, and (b) 463,298 shares of Common Stock issuable on the exercise of the Warrants, representing 8.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on (i) 70,039,338 shares of Common Stock outstanding, plus (ii) the 463,298 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants).

 

As of April 17, 2018, Oracle Institutional Partners may be deemed to beneficially own 1,555,555 shares of Common Stock, representing 2.22% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on 70,039,338 shares of Common Stock outstanding).

 

 

As of April 17, 2018, Oracle Ten Fund, may be deemed to beneficially own 2,595,980 shares of Common Stock, representing 3.71% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on 70,502,636 shares of Common Stock outstanding).

 

As of April 17, 2018, Oracle Associates and Investment Manager due to its relationship with Oracle Partners, Oracle Ten Fund and Oracle Institutional Partners, and Mr. Feinberg, due to his respective relationships with the other Reporting Persons, may be deemed to beneficially own 10,288,587 shares of Common Stock, representing 14.59% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on (i) 70,039,338 shares of Common Stock outstanding, plus (ii) the 463,298 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants).

 

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission of such beneficial ownership or that the Reporting Persons constitute a person or a group.

 

(c)

As of the date hereof, no transaction in the Shares had been effected by the Reporting Persons within the past 60 days, except as set forth in the Statement.

 

(d)

No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.

  

(e)

Not applicable.

  

 

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of their knowledge and belief, the undersigned certify that the information set forth in this Schedule 13D is true, complete and correct.
