Sumitomo Pharma’s principal business is the research, development, manufacture, purchase, sale, importation and exportation of pharmaceutical products. Sumitovant’s principal business is to act as a holding company and directly own the Common Shares. The principal occupation or employment of each director and executive officer of the Reporting Persons, each controlling person of the Reporting Persons and each director or officer of a corporation or other person ultimately in control of the Reporting Persons are listed on Schedule A hereto.

(d)    None of the Reporting Persons, and to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons none of the persons listed on Schedule A hereto, has during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e)    None of the Reporting Persons, and to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons none of the persons listed on Schedule A hereto, has during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which it was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Statement is amended and supplemented by adding the following information:

On September 30, 2022, Sumitovant delivered a letter to the audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Issuer (the “Offer Letter”), pursuant to which Sumitovant proposed to acquire the remaining Common Shares that Sumitovant does not currently hold for a price of $22.75 per Common Share in cash (the “Proposed Transaction”).

Sumitomo Pharma and Sumitovant intend to engage in discussions with the Issuer regarding the terms of the Proposed Transaction. Sumitomo Pharma and Sumitovant may change the terms of the Proposed Transaction, determine to accelerate or terminate discussions with the Issuer with respect to the Proposed Transaction, withdraw the Proposed Transaction, take any action to facilitate or increase the likelihood of consummation of the Proposed Transaction, or change their intentions with respect to any such matters, in each case at any time and without prior notice. Sumitomo Pharma and Sumitovant and their subsidiaries will, directly or indirectly, take such additional steps as they may deem appropriate to further the Proposed Transaction or otherwise to support their investment in the Issuer, including, without limitation: (i) engaging in discussions with other shareholders, potential sources of financing, advisors, and other relevant parties and (ii) entering into confidentiality arrangements, financing commitments, and other agreements, arrangements and understandings in connection with the Proposed Transaction.


 

Page 6 of 13

The foregoing summary of the Offer Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Offer Letter, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated by reference herein. The Proposed Transaction may result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a)–(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including the acquisition or disposition of additional securities of the Issuer, a merger or other extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer, a change to the present composition of the Board of the Issuer, a change to the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, the delisting of the Issuer’s securities from the New York Stock Exchange, and a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

There can be no assurance as to the outcome of any discussions related to the Proposed Transaction or that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is amended and restated to read as follows:

(a)—(b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Statement are incorporated herein by reference.

The aggregate 50,041,181 Common Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons represent 52.17% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares based on 95,928,219 Common Shares issued and outstanding as of July 25, 2022, as disclosed by the Issuer on its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 27, 2022.

Sumitovant has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to 50,041,181 Common Shares. Each of Sumitomo Chemical and Sumitomo Pharma has shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to such Common Shares. Each of Sumitomo Chemical and Sumitomo Pharma, by virtue of their relationships to Sumitovant, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) the Common Shares which Sumitovant directly beneficially owns. Each of Sumitomo Chemical and Sumitomo Pharma disclaims beneficial ownership of such Common Shares for all other purposes.

(c)    There have been no transactions in Common Shares that were effected during the past sixty days by the Reporting Persons other than as reported in this Statement.

(e)    Not applicable.
