Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Undertakings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by the following:

On April 12, 2020, the Issuer entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Innoviva, Inc. (“Innoviva”), pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to issue and sell to Innoviva, in a private placement under the applicable Nasdaq Stock Market LLC rules (“Nasdaq”), up to 14,000,000 newly issued shares of Common Stock and warrants (the “Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 14,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Private Placement”).

The Private Placement is occurring in two tranches. The first closing (the “First Closing”) occurred on April 22, 2020, at which time Innoviva purchased 1,322,510 shares of Common Stock and 1,322,510 Common Warrants, which was the maximum number of shares of Common Stock and Common Warrants issuable to Innoviva in compliance with any and all applicable laws and without the requirement for the prior receipt of the approval of the Issuer’s stockholders under the listing requirements of Nasdaq. The First Closing was subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including obtaining voting agreements from stockholders of the Issuer representing at least 45% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

In connection with the First Closing, on April 22, 2020, the Fund entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with Innoviva, pursuant to which the Fund agreed, among other things, until the earlier of the closing of the second tranche (the “Second Closing”) or the termination of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) to vote at a meeting of the Issuer’s stockholders, or provide a written consent, in respect of all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Fund, in each case in favor of the Second Closing and the other transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and (ii) to not transfer any of the shares of Common Stock held by the Fund or the economic consequences of ownership thereof, other than certain exceptions for transfers to affiliates of the Fund.

The Second Closing, at which time Innoviva will purchase the remaining shares of Common Stock and Common Warrants, is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2020, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including the Issuer’s stockholders voting in favor of the Second Closing.

The foregoing references to and descriptions of the Voting Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.4.

On April 27, 2020, Nicholas Galakatos, an employee of The Blackstone Group Inc. or one of its affiliates, delivered notice to the Issuer that he was resigning as a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer effective as of May 1, 2020.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits

Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by the following:

Exhibit 99.4 – Voting Agreement, dated as of April 22, 2020.
