Item 1. Security and Issuer.

 

This Amendment No. 6 (the “Amendment No. 6”) amends the Statements of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 14, 2012, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 2, 2012, Amendment No. 2 filed on October 17, 2014, Amendment No. 3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 24, 2018, Amendment No. 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 20, 2021, and Amendment No. 5 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 20, 2022 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) of Lifecore Biomedical, Inc. (formerly known as Landec Corporation), a Delaware corporation with its principal executive office at 2811 Airpark Drive, Santa Maria, California 93455 (the “Issuer”). Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D shall remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

 

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

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

The securities reported in this Schedule 13D as directly beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons were acquired with funds of approximately $37,978,969 (including brokerage commissions). All such funds were provided from the working capital or personal funds of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons who directly beneficially own such securities.

 

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by addition of the following:

 

This Schedule 13D is filed by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons to report the acquisition of shares of Common Stock that increase the Wynnefield Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership (as such term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Common Stock of the Issuer by more than 1% from the amounts previously reported on Amendment No. 5, previously filed on January 20, 2022.

 

On November 25, 2022, the Issuer entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with each of Partners I, Partners and Offshore (collectively, the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer agreed to sell an aggregate of 627,746 shares of its Common Stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million (the “Offering”). The purchase price for each share of Common Stock was $7.97. The Offering closed on November 25, 2022. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer granted the Purchasers certain piggyback registration rights and agreed, among other things, to indemnify such parties under any registration statement filed that includes the Shares from certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities.

 

The description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the Commission on November 25, 2022 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 99.4).

 

 

 

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

(a), (b) and (c) As of November 25, 2022, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons beneficially owned in the aggregate 4,462,510 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 14.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The percentage of shares of Common Stock reported as being beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons is based upon 30,223,300 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which is comprised of (i) 29,595,554 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 3, 2022, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended August 28, 2022, filed with the Commission on October 7, 2022; and (ii) 627,746 shares of Common Stock that were issued to the Purchasers in the Offering.

 

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to shares of Common Stock directly beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons listed below:

 

Name Number of Common Stock Percentage of Outstanding Common Stock
Partners I 1,972,853 6.5%
Partners 1,233,865 4.1%
Offshore 836,965 2.8%
Plan 367,350 1.2%
Nelson Obus 51,477 (1) 0.2%

 

(1)Excludes 7,059 RSU Rights that are not exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof.

 

WCM is the sole general partner of Partners and Partners I and, accordingly, may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that Partners and Partners I beneficially own. WCM, as the sole general partner of Partners and Partners I, has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the Common Stock that Partners and Partners I beneficially own. Messrs. Obus and Landes are the co-managing members of WCM and, accordingly, each of Messrs. Obus and Landes may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that WCM may be deemed to beneficially own. Each of Messrs. Obus and Landes, as co-managing members of WCM, share the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that WCM may be deemed to beneficially own.

 

WCI is the sole investment manager of Offshore and, accordingly, may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that Offshore beneficially owns. WCI, as the sole investment manager of Offshore, has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the Common Stock that Offshore beneficially owns. Each of Messrs. Obus and Landes are executive officers of WCI and, accordingly, each may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that WCI may be deemed to beneficially own. Each of Messrs. Obus and Landes, as an executive officer of WCI, share the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that WCI may be deemed to beneficially own.

 

 

 

 

The Plan is an employee profit sharing plan. Messrs. Obus and Landes are the co-trustees of the Plan and accordingly, Messrs. Obus and Landes may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock that the Plan may be deemed to beneficially own. Each of Messrs. Obus and Landes, as the trustees of the Plan, shares with the other the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Plan.

 

Beneficial ownership of the Common Stock shown on the cover pages of and set forth elsewhere in this Schedule 13D for each member of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons assumes that they have not formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) under the Exchange Act, and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated thereunder. If the members of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons were deemed to have formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) and Rule 13d-5(b)(1), the group would be deemed to own beneficially (and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over) 4,462,510 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 14.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The percentage of shares of Common Stock reported as being beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons is based upon 30,223,300 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which is comprised of (i) 29,595,554 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 3, 2022, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended August 28, 2022, filed with the Commission on October 7, 2022; and (ii) 627,746 shares of Common Stock that were issued to the Purchasers in the Offering.

 

The filing of this Schedule 13D and any future amendment by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons, and the inclusion of information herein and therein with respect to WCM, WCI and Messrs. Obus and Landes, shall not be considered an admission that any of such persons, for the purpose of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, are the beneficial owners of any shares in which such persons do not have a pecuniary interest. Each of WCM, WCI and Messrs. Obus and Landes disclaims any beneficial ownership of the shares covered by this Schedule 13D, except for the 51,477 shares of Common Stock directly beneficially owned by Mr. Obus, which he does not disclaim.

 

The Wynnefield Reporting Persons have engaged in the following transactions involving shares of Common Stock during the last 60 days. 

   
Name   Date     Number of Shares     Purchase/Sale     Price Per Share
