Item 1. Security and Issuer.

 

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D/A”) is being filed to amend the statement on Schedule 13D relating to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Trevena, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), as initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 18, 2014 and amended on December 15, 2014 (as amended, the “Original Schedule 13D”). This Schedule 13D/A is being filed to report the sales of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock held by AP VIII on October 16, 2018. The Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as detailed below and, except as amended and supplemented hereby, the Original Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirely as follows:

  

(a)  As of the date of this filing, AP VIII directly held 2,890,262 shares of Common Stock, representing 3.5% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock as of such date. As the general partner of AP VIII, APM VIII beneficially owned an aggregate of 2,890,262 shares of Common Stock, representing 3.5% of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding as of such date. Each of Managing Directors beneficially owned 2,890,262 shares of Common Stock, representing 3.5% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock as of such date. The percentages set forth in this Item 5 are based on the 82,323,413 outstanding shares of Common Stock as of November 2, 2018, as disclosed in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

 

(b) AP VIII has sole voting and dispositive control over 2,890,262 shares of Common Stock. None of the other Reporting Persons owns any securities of the Issuer directly. APM VIII, as the general partner of AP VIII, shares the power to direct the voting and disposition of the 2,890,262 shares beneficially owned by AP VIII and may be deemed to beneficially own the shares beneficially owned by AP VIII. By virtue of their positions as managing directors of APM VIII, each Managing Director may be deemed to share the power to direct the disposition and vote of the 2,890,262 shares beneficially owned by AP VIII and may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such entities.

 

(c) On October 16, 2018, AP VIII sold 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for $973,283 at the weighted-average sales price per share of $0.97. The range of sale prices was $0.97 to $0.9969 per share. Except as set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock during the last 60 days.

 

(d) No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or any proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any of the Reporting Persons.

 

(e)  The Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of 5% of more than 5% of the Common Stock on October 16, 2018.
