This Schedule 13D relates to an aggregate of 2,435,190 Shares that were acquired by the Reporting Persons in exchange for membership interests of Compass Therapeutics, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Compass OpCo”) pursuant to a merger (the “Merger”) effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 17, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer (then operating under the name Olivia Ventures, Inc.), Compass OpCo and the other parties thereto.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

The purpose of the Merger was to allow the former equity holders of Compass OpCo to receive shares of a public reporting company. In connection with the Merger, the membership interests of Compass OpCo issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger were exchanged for shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. Also in connection with the Merger, Mr. Ferneau joined the board of directors of the Issuer. The purpose of the Private Placement was to raise additional capital to fund the ongoing operations of the Issuer.

 

The Shares initially have been acquired by the Reporting Persons for the purpose of making an investment in the Issuer and not with the intention of acquiring control of the Issuer’s business.

 

The Reporting Persons from time to time intend to review their investment in the Issuer on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer’s Shares in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities. Based upon such review, the Reporting Persons will take such actions in the future as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time. If the Reporting Persons believe that further investment in the Issuer is attractive, whether because of the market price of the Shares or otherwise, they may acquire Shares or other securities of the Issuer either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Similarly, depending on market and other factors, the Reporting Persons may determine to dispose of some or all of the Shares currently owned by the Reporting Persons or otherwise acquired by the Reporting Persons either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

 

Except as set forth in this Statement and except for actions by Philip Ferneau evaluated or taken in his role as a director of the Issuer, the Reporting Persons have not formulated any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board, (e) any material change in the Issuer’s capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, (g) any change in the Issuer’s charter or bylaws or other instrument corresponding thereto or other action which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (h) causing a class of the Issuer’s securities to be deregistered or delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

(a)— (b)  As of the date of this filing, the Reporting Persons may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, directly or indirectly, including by reason of their mutual affiliation, to be the beneficial owners of 2,579,342 Shares held of record by Borealis Granite Fund, L.P. and 169,914 Shares held of record by Vox Health Fund, L.P. Based upon information contained in the Issuer’s Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 23, 2020, such Shares constitutes approximately 5.3% of the issued and outstanding Shares. Borealis Capital Partners III, LLC is the general partner of Borealis Granite Fund, L.P. Borealis Capital Partners IV, LLC is the general partner of Vox Health Fund, L.P. Phil Ferneau is a managing partner of Borealis Ventures. Mr. Ferneau holds a majority ownership interest in Borealis Capital Partners IV, LLC and is the designated manager with voting and investment power over the shares held by Vox Health Fund, L.P.

 

(c)Except as disclosed in Item 3, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction during the past sixty (60) days in any Shares.

 

(d)Other than as described in this Schedule 13D, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

 

(e)Not applicable.

Lock-Up Agreement
