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

 

On December 11, 2013, the Registration Statement on Form S-l, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Issuer (File No. 333-191811) in connection with its initial public offering of 7,150,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (the “IPO”) was declared effective.  The closing of the IPO took place on December 17, 2013, and at such closing the Fund purchased an aggregate of 1,425,063 shares of Common Stock at the IPO price of $7.00 per share.  In addition, immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, shares of Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Stock”), Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) and certain Warrants to Purchase Equity Securities (the “Warrants”) held by the Fund automatically converted or net exercised, as applicable, into 3,219,642 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.  Prior to the IPO, the Series C Stock, the Notes and the Warrants were purchased from the Issuer in a series of private transactions from 2010 to 2013 for an aggregate purchase price of $20,699,800.  The Fund now holds a total of 4,644,705 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (the “Clarus Shares”).

 

The working capital of the Fund was the source of the funds for the purchase of the Clarus Shares.  No part of the purchase price of the Clarus Shares was represented by funds or other consideration borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring, holding, trading or voting the Clarus Shares.

 

Item 4.         Purpose of Transaction.

 

The Fund acquired the Clarus Shares for investment purposes.  Depending on market conditions, its continuing evaluation of the business and prospects of the Issuer and other factors, the Fund and other Reporting Persons may dispose of or acquire additional shares of the Issuer.

 

None of the Reporting Persons have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any change in the business, policies, management, structure or capitalization of the Issuer.  The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire, or dispose of, additional securities of the Issuer in the ordinary course of their business, to the extent deemed advisable in light of their general investment and trading policies, market conditions or other factors.  The Reporting Persons may engage in discussions from time to time with other stockholders of the Issuer regarding the acquisition by the Reporting Persons or others of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock held by such stockholders.

 

The Reporting Persons may seek information from management and the Issuer’s Board of Directors, and may engage in further discussions with management, the Issuer’s Board of Directors, other stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties, concerning the business, operations, governance, management, strategy, capitalization and/or future plans of the Issuer, or in proposing one or more of the other actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of this Item 4.

 

Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans which relate to or would result in:

 

(a)                                 The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

 



 

CUSIP No. 88165U 109

 

13D

 

Page 13 of 17 Pages

 

(b)                                 An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

 

(c)                                  A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries;

 

(d)                                 Any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

 

(e)                                  Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;

 

(f)                                   Any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including but not limited to, if the issuer is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940;

 

(g)                                  Changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

 

(h)                                 Causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

 

(i)                                     A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or

 

(j)                                    Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

 

Item 5.         Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

The Fund is the record owner of the Clarus Shares.  As the sole general partner of the Fund, Clarus GP may be deemed to own beneficially the Clarus Shares.  As the sole general partner of Clarus GP, Clarus GPLLC may be deemed to own beneficially the Clarus Shares.  As members of Clarus GPLLC, each of the Managing Directors may be deemed to own beneficially the Clarus Shares.

 

Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Clarus Shares other than those shares which such person owns of record.

 

The percentage of outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is set forth on Line 13 of such Reporting Person’s cover sheet.  Such percentage was calculated based on the 21,116,904 shares of Common Stock reported to be outstanding immediately after the IPO on the Issuer’s prospectus filed under Rule 424(b)(4), filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on December 12, 2013.

 

(b)                                 Regarding the number of shares as to which such person has:

(c)                                  Except as set forth in Item 3 above, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction in the Common Stock during the last 60 days.

(e)                                  Not applicable.

 

Item 6.         Contracts.  Arrangements.  Undertakings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Inc.

 

Dr. Steinmetz, a Reporting Person, is a member of the Issuer’s Board of Directors and, accordingly, may have the ability to effect and influence control of the Issuer.
