Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
On August 27, 2017, the Issuer completed its business combination with Synlogic, Inc. ("Old Synlogic") in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of May 15, 2017, by and among the Issuer, Meerkat Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), and Old Synlogic (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Old Synlogic, with Old Synlogic surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the "Merger").

Prior to the Merger, NEA 14 held 2,971,517 shares of common stock of Mirna Therapeutics, Inc. and certain shares of capital stock of Old Synlogic (the "NEA 14 Old Synlogic Shares").  On August 25, 2017, in connection with, and prior to the completion of, the Merger, the Issuer effected a 1:7 reverse stock split of its common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split").  On August 28, 2017, the NEA 14 Old Synlogic Shares were converted into 3,394,439 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement.  NEA 14 now holds 3,818,940 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock (the "NEA 14 Shares").
