(the “Issuer”), by FS Development Holdings II, LLC (“FSDH II”), Foresite Capital Fund V, L.P. (“FCF V”), Foresite Capital Management V, LLC (“FCM V LLC”), Foresite Capital Opportunity Fund V, L.P. (“FCOF V”), Foresite Capital Opportunity Management V, LLC (“FCOM V LLC”) and Dr. James Tananbaum (together with FSDH II, FCF V, FCM V LLC, FCOF V and FCOM V LLC, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 5 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D.

The information set forth in Item 4 hereof is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3, as applicable.

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

Tender Offer and Closing of the Merger

As previously disclosed, on July 28, 2023, Parent and Merger Sub commenced an offer (referred to herein as the “Offer”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for $2.13 per share (the “Cash Amount”) plus one non-transferable contractual contingent value right per share (each, a “CVR,” and each CVR together with the Cash Amount, the “Offer Price”).

 

The Offer and related withdrawal rights expired at one minute after 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 30, 2023 (the “Expiration Date”) and were not further extended. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Inc., acting as the depositary and paying agent for the Offer, has advised Parent and Merger Sub that, as of the Expiration Date, a total of 37,836,066 Shares were validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, representing approximately 60.9% of Shares outstanding as of the Expiration Date and a majority of the Shares owned by the Unaffiliated Stockholders (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

 

As of the Expiration Date, the number of Shares validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Offer and not validly withdrawn satisfied the minimum tender condition, and all other conditions to the Offer were satisfied or waived. Immediately after the Expiration Date, Merger Sub irrevocably accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the terms of the Offer, and expects to promptly pay for such Shares.

 

As a result of its acceptance of the Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer and in accordance with Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), Merger Sub owned a number of Shares that was greater than the percentage of Shares that would be required to adopt the Merger Agreement by a vote of the Issuer’s stockholders. Accordingly, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub completed the acquisition of the Issuer on August 31, 2023 by consummating the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement without a vote of the Issuer’s stockholders in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL. At the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), each outstanding Share (other than any Shares (i) held in the treasury of the Issuer, (ii) owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent, Merger Sub or any subsidiary of Parent, (iii) irrevocably accepted for purchase in the Offer or (iv) held by any stockholders who were entitled to and who properly exercised appraisal rights under Delaware law), was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price from Merger Sub.

 

Prior to the opening of trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on August 31, 2023, all Shares ceased trading, and following the consummation of the Merger, all Shares will be delisted from Nasdaq and deregistered under the Exchange Act.

 

As a result of the Offer and the Merger, Parent holds all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (now equaling 1,000 shares) of the Issuer. Parent is wholly owned by FCOF V. Dr. Tananbaum is the managing member of FCOM V LLC, which is the general partner of FCOF V.

 

(a) – (b) is hereby restated in its entirety as follows:

As of the date hereof, FCOF V, as the parent and sole shareholder of Parent, beneficially owned indirectly 1,000 shares of Common Stock, representing 100% of the Issuer’s Common Stock.

FCM V LLC and FCOM V LLC are general partners, respectively, of FCF V and FCOF V. FCF V and FCOF V are the sole members of FSDH II, and Dr. Tananbaum is the managing member of each of FCM V LLC and FCOM V LLC.

The information set forth in Item 4 hereof is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6, as applicable.

SIGNATURES

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of his or its knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
