Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Reporting Person on October 19, 2015, as amended on March 16, 2016, May 18, 2016 and June 3, 2016 (the “Schedule 13D”) relating to the Common Stock of the Issuer. The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is 9 Fourth Avenue, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451. Except as expressly set forth herein, there have been no changes to the information set forth in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
Item 2 is hereby amended to append the following:
Dr. Dipp is a managing director of General Atlantic LLC, a growth equity firm, and has a business address of c/o General Atlantic Service Company, L.P., Park Avenue Plaza, 55 East 52nd Street, New York, NY 10055.
Since September 2017, Dr. Dipp has no longer been an officer, director or affiliate of the Issuer. In addition, since September 2017, Dr. Dipp has no longer been a general partner of the General Partner, the general partner of the Fund, a venture capital investment fund and stockholder of the Issuer.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 is hereby amended to append the following:
On March 2, 2017, Dr. Dipp was granted a stock option to purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.49 per share. The stock option has a ten-year term and provided for vesting over four years, with 25% of the total number of shares vested on March 2, 2018 and 6.25% of the total number of shares vesting at the end of each successive three-month period thereafter. Such stock option was granted to Dr. Dipp at no cost.
On June 21, 2017, Dr. Dipp was granted a stock option to purchase 175,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.46 per share. The stock option has a ten-year term and provided for vesting over two years, with 12.5% of the total number of shares vested on September 21, 2017 and 12.5% of the total number of shares vesting at the end of each successive three-month period thereafter. Such stock option was granted to Dr. Dipp at no cost.
In the aggregate, Dr. Dipp was granted options to purchase 1,364,313 shares of Common Stock from December 5, 2012 through June 21, 2017 in connection with her service to OvaScience. All of such options were granted to Dr. Dipp at no cost. As described below, all of such options have vested as of April 30, 2018. None of such options have been exercised.
On June 21, 2017 (as amended on August 3, 2017), Dr. Dipp and the Issuer entered into an Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Immediately prior to the termination of the Advisory Agreement on April 30, 2018, options to purchase 1,073,688 shares held by Dr. Dipp were vested. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement: (i) the Advisory Agreement was terminated; (ii) Dr. Dipp waived the monthly retainer for fiscal 2018 and the discretionary cash bonus for fiscal 2017 due to her under the Advisory Agreement; (iii) options to purchase an additional 290,625 shares became vested, all of which options would have been vested either over time or on an accelerated basis by the end of the original Advisory Agreement term; and (iv) all outstanding options will remain exercisable until the expiration date of each option.
In addition, Dr. Dipp is no longer a general partner of the General Partner, the general partner of the Fund, a venture capital investment fund and stockholder of the Issuer, and therefore no longer may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock held by the Fund and previously reported on the Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Items 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

The applicable SEC rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities.
(a) At the close of business on April 30, 2018, Dr. Dipp beneficially owned 2,336,234 shares of Common Stock, representing beneficial ownership of approximately 6.3% of the outstanding Common Stock. The
