See Issuer’s Form 8-K filed May 8, 2018 and the Purchase Agreement attached thereto as Exhibit 10.1. The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (the “Amendment No. 1”). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein. 

 

ITEM 1.SECURITY AND ISSUER

 

This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), of Second Sight Medical Products Inc., a California corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 12744 San Fernando Road, Suite 400, Sylmar, CA 91342.

 

The Reporting Persons (as defined below) beneficially own 33,042,050 shares of Common Stock (the “Subject Shares”), which number, giving effect to the Purchase Agreement Shares, includes: 26,239,329 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 6,802,721 shares of common stock.

ITEM 4.PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.

 

The Reporting Persons, directly or indirectly through certain affiliates, acquired the shares of the Issuer, including the Purchase Agreement Shares, for investment purposes and not with a view toward or having the effect of directing or changing control over the Issuer. As a result of Mr. Williams’ position since March 2018 as the non-executive Chairman of the Issuer’s Board of Directors and his beneficial share ownership, Mr. Williams may effect a measure of control over the Issuer. Mr. Williams has at all times from immediately prior to and since the initial public offering of the Common Stock in November 2014 been a principal shareholder and director of the Issuer and is a member of the family which co-founded the Issuer.
