  (b) The business address of the Reporting Person is 10940 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 600, Los Angeles, California 90024.

The Reporting Person also serves as the Secretary of the Issuer and the Chairman of the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

 

  (d) During the last five years, the Reporting Person has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

 

  (e) During the last five years, the Reporting Person was not a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result was not or is not subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

  (f) The Reporting Person is a citizen of the United States.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

In connection with the incorporation of Puma Biotechnology, Inc., a private Delaware corporation (“Puma”), in September 2010, the Reporting Person was issued an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Puma’s common stock in exchange for aggregate consideration of $400 from the Reporting Person’s existing personal funds.

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 29, 2011 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, IAC Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Merger Sub”), and Puma, Merger Sub merged (the “Merger”) with and into Puma, with Puma remaining as the surviving entity and wholly-owned operating subsidiary of the Issuer. The Merger was effective as of October 4, 2011 (the “Effective Date”).

Immediately prior to the Merger, Puma consummated a private placement (the “Private Placement”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated October 4, 2011 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), by and among Puma, the persons listed on Schedule I thereto, and the Issuer, but only for purposes of assuming all of Puma’s rights, duties and obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement. In the Private Placement, Puma issued 14,666,733 shares of its common stock and anti-dilutive warrants to 27 accredited investors in exchange for approximately $55 million.

Immediately following the effectiveness of the Merger, the Issuer’s Board approved a transaction pursuant to which Puma merged with and into the Issuer, leaving the Issuer as the surviving corporation. In connection with this merger, the Issuer changed its corporate name from Innovative Acquisitions Corp. to “Puma Biotechnology, Inc.”

At the effective time of the Merger, each share of Puma’s common stock held by the Reporting Person and the investors in the Private Placement was converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock of the Issuer. This resulted in the Reporting Person holding an aggregate 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer on the Effective Date.

On October 6, 2011, the Issuer issued 40,000 shares of Common Stock to the Reporting Person at $3.75 per share upon his conversion of an unsecured convertible promissory note. The note, which did not accrue interest, was issued to the Reporting Person in connection with his advance of $150,000 of his existing personal funds to Puma prior to the Merger and, in accordance with its terms, was convertible into shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer.

The 4,040,000 shares reported herein, representing approximately 21.6% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock, reflect the Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership of the Issuer as of October 6, 2011. The shares and percentage interest reported herein exclude a warrant held in the name of the Reporting Person issued by Puma prior to the Merger and assumed by the Issuer in the Merger. The warrant is exercisable only in the event that the Issuer conducts a post-Merger offering of securities resulting in gross cash proceeds to the Issuer of at least $15 million. The warrant has a ten-year term, an exercise price equal to the price paid per share in such post-Merger offering, and is exercisable for the number of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock as would be necessary for the Reporting Person to maintain, as calculated under the terms of the warrant, ownership of 20% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock after such post-Merger offering.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The disclosure provided in Item 3 above is incorporated herein by reference.

Since the Effective Date and as of the date hereof, the Reporting Person serves as the President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary of the Issuer, the same offices of Puma that he had held since the inception of Puma. On the Effective Date, the Board of the Issuer was reconstituted as the Reporting Person and Thomas R. Malley were appointed as the directors of the Issuer, with the Reporting Person serving as the Chairman of the Board, and each of the directors of the Issuer prior to the Merger resigned.

Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, from and after the Effective Date until the next annual meeting of the Issuer’s stockholders, the Issuer’s Board may consist of up to a maximum of seven members, consisting of (a) the Reporting Person and Thomas R. Malley, (b) at the election of the investors holding a majority of the shares sold in the Private Placement, either one of two representatives designated by such investors (which designee shall be selected by the Reporting Person) or two of four representatives designated by such investors (which designees shall be selected by the Reporting Person), and (c) such other directors as designated by the Board.

In addition, the Issuer agreed in the Securities Purchase Agreement to use its best efforts to amend its certificate of incorporation to eliminate its authorized class of securities designated as preferred stock and to reduce the number of shares of its authorized capital stock from one hundred ten million (110,000,000) shares to one hundred million (100,000,000) shares, all of which are to be designated as Common Stock. On October 4, 2011, the Issuer’s board of directors and all of its stockholders approved by written consent an amended and restated certificate of incorporation making these amendments. Pursuant to Section 14C of the Act and Rule 14c promulgated thereunder, the Issuer will file an information statement on Schedule 14C with the Commission to notify its stockholders of this action. At least 20 days after the Issuer mails the information statement to its stockholders, the Issuer will file the amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. When the amended and restated certificate of incorporation becomes effective, the Issuer will have authorized capital stock of 100,000,000 shares, all of which will be designated as Common Stock.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The information set forth or incorporated in Items 2, 3 and 4 above is incorporated herein by reference.

(a) The Reporting Person beneficially owns 4,040,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer, which represents approximately 21.6% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer. The percentage of shares
