Item 4.Ownership.

 

Items 5 through 9 and 11 of each of the cover pages to this Amendment No. 2 are incorporated herein reference. Set forth below is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer directly held by each of the 667, L.P. and Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. (collectively the “Funds”), which may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, as well as shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of the warrants expiring July 27, 2021 (“2021 Warrants”) at an exercise price of $3.00 per share and shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of the warrants expiring July 25, 2022 (“2022 Warrants”, along with 2021 Warrants, the “Warrants”) at an exercise price of $1.55 per share, subject to the limitation on exercise described below. The 2022 Warrants are exercisable on a 2 for 1 basis into Common Stock. The information set forth below is based upon 79,409,556 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 8, 2018, as reported on the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 8, 2018 and 866,500 shares of Common Stock underlying Warrants. Such percentage figures are calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

Page 7 of 10 Pages

 

 

Name  Number of Shares of Common Stock we own or have to right to acquire within 60 days (taking account of exercise restrictions for the Warrants as described below)   Percent of Class Outstanding 
667, L.P.   1,329,778    1.7%
Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P.   7,253,275    9.0%

 

The Warrants are only exercisable to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise the holders thereof together with their affiliates would beneficially own, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, no more than 9.99% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer after exercise (“Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). As a result of this restriction, the number of shares that may be issued upon exercise of the Warrants by the above holders may change depending upon changes in the outstanding shares. By written notice to the Issuer, the Funds may waive the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to that Fund. Any such waiver will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer. 

 

Pursuant to the management agreements, as amended, among the Adviser, the Funds and their respective general partners, the Funds’ respective general partners relinquished to the Adviser all discretion and authority with respect to the investment and voting power of the securities held by the Funds, and thus the Adviser has complete and unlimited discretion and authority with respect to the Funds’ investments and voting power over investments.

 

The Adviser GP, Felix J. Baker and Julian C. Baker as managing members of the Adviser GP, and the Adviser may be deemed to be beneficial owners of securities of the Issuer directly held by the Funds, and may be deemed to have the power to vote or direct the vote of and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of such securities.

 

The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities held by each of the Funds, and this Amendment No. 2 shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are the beneficial owners of such securities for purposes of Section 13(d) or for any other purpose.

 

Item 5.Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

 

If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following [ ]. N/A
