The following constitutes the Schedule 13D/A filed by the undersigned (as amended hereby, the “Schedule 13D”).
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On December 6, 2019, the Issuer entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the Reporting Person, pursuant to which the Reporting Person agreed to subscribe for an aggregate of 166,157,050 ordinary shares (the “Subscription Shares”) of the Issuer, par value £0.01 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 24,923,555 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of £0.243 per Ordinary Share (the “Subscription Warrant”) in a private placement in the United States for an aggregate purchase price of $47.371 million (collectively, the “Subscription”), or an approximate per share price of £0.221 (which is based on an exchange rate of $1.29 to £1.00) for a Subscription Share plus a Subscription Warrant.
The Subscription is expected to close on or about December 30, 2019, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions and the following additional conditions: (i) the Issuer’s shareholders shall have passed resolutions that, inter alia, approve (A) the consummation of the Subscription and certain other transactions in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement and (B) the cancellation of the admission of the Ordinary Shares on AIM (the “AIM Delisting”); (ii) the Subscription Shares shall have been admitted to trading on AIM pursuant to Rule 6 of the AIM Rules for Companies (the “AIM Rules”) as published from time to time by London Stock Exchange plc (such event, the “Admission”); (iii) the Resigning Directors (as defined below) shall have delivered to the Issuer executed resignation letters effective upon Admission; and (iv) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Proposed Directors (as defined below) executed appointment letters effective upon Admission. Upon the closing, the Reporting Person is expected to beneficially own 15,657,641 American Depositary Shares (the “ADS Shares”), representing 78,288,205 of the Ordinary Shares, and 166,157,050 Ordinary Shares, or an aggregate of approximately 72.78% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, excluding Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of either the Subscription Warrant or certain additional outstanding warrants held by third parties to purchase Ordinary Shares.
The Subscription Warrant is exercisable at any time in the period commencing on the date falling six months following Admission and ending on the tenth anniversary of the Admission. The Issuer may by written notice require the Reporting Person to exercise some or all of the Subscription Warrant, provided that: (i) the Issuer may not give such notice prior to the third anniversary of Admission; (ii) as of the date of such notice, either the Ordinary Shares are admitted to trading on AIM or another specified exchange or the ADS Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”); and (iii) as of the date of such notice, the reported ten-day volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares as reported on AIM or such other specified exchange (or if the Ordinary Shares are not admitted to trading on such an exchange, the ADS Shares as reported on Nasdaq) represents a premium equivalent to at least 50% over the exercise price. The Warrant Instrument will become effective upon Admission.
In connection with the Subscription, subject to the Admission, three members of the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”), Frank Armstrong, Leopoldo Zambeletti and David Wurzer (together, the “Resigning Directors”), are resigning from the Board, and the Reporting Person and three additional proposed directors, Dr. Elaine Stracker, Dr. Ventzislav Stefanov and Manmeet Soni (together, the “Proposed Directors”), are being appointed to the Board.

In connection with the Subscription and pursuant to that certain Deed of Termination of Relationship Agreement (“Deed of Termination”) dated as of December 6, 2019 by and among the Issuer, the Reporting Person and Cairn Financial Advisers LLP, a limited liability partnership incorporated in England and Wales with the Registrar of Companies of England and Wales, the parties thereto have entered into an agreement to terminate the Relationship Agreement entered into on December 14, 2018 and previously attached to this Schedule 13D.
