| Item 4 | Ownership: |
Items 5 through 9 and 11 of each of the cover pages to this Amendment No. 1 are incorporated herein by reference. Set forth below is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock directly held by each of Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. (“Life Sciences”) and 667, L.P. (“667”, and together with Life Sciences, the “Funds”) which may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, as well as shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon conversion of non-voting Class A common stock, convertible at any time on a 1-to-1 basis without consideration into Common Stock (“Class A Common Stock”) and shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon conversion of non-voting Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”), Series A-1 Preferred Stock (“Series A-1 Preferred”) and Series A-2 Preferred Stock (“Series A-2 Preferred”) convertible on a 1-to-1,000 basis without consideration into Common Stock with no expiration date, subject to the limitations on conversion described below.
The information set forth below is based on 81,550,590 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 20, 2023, as reported in Exhibit 10.1 of the Issuer’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 21, 2023. Such percentage figures are calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
| Holder | Number
of Shares of Common Stock we own or have the right to acquire within 60 days |
Percent
of Class Outstanding |
|||||||
| 667, L.P. | 649,790 | 0.80 | % | ||||||
| Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. | 7,499,195 | 9.19 | % | ||||||
| Total | 8,148,985 | 9.99 | % | ||||||
The Class A Common Stock is only convertible to the extent that after giving effect or immediately prior to such exercise the holders thereof, their affiliates and any person who are members of a Section 13(d) group with the holders or one of their affiliates would beneficially own in the aggregate, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, no more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). By written notice to the Issuer, the Funds may from time to time increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to that Fund to any percentage not in excess of 19.99%. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer. As a result of this restriction, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Class A Common Stock by the above holders may change depending upon changes in the outstanding Common Stock. Due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Funds cannot presently convert any shares of Class A Common Stock.
The Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred are only convertible to the extent that after giving effect or immediately prior to such conversion the holders thereof, their affiliates and any person who are members of a Section 13(d) group with the holders or one of their affiliates would beneficially own in the aggregate, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, no more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock (the “Series A and Series A-1 Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). By written notice to the Issuer, the Funds may from time to time increase or decrease the Series A and Series A-1 Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to that Fund to any percentage not in excess of 19.99%. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer. As a result of this restriction, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred by the above holders may change depending upon changes in the outstanding Common Stock. Due to the Series A and Series A-1 Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Funds cannot presently convert any shares of Series A Preferred or Series A-1 Preferred.
The Series A-2 Preferred is only convertible to the extent that after giving effect or immediately prior to such conversion the holders thereof, their affiliates and any person who are members of a Section 13(d) group with the holders or one of their affiliates would beneficially own in the aggregate, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, no more than 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock (the “Series A-2 Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). By written notice to the Issuer, the Funds may from time to time increase or decrease the Series A-2 Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to that Fund to any percentage not in excess of 19.99%. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer. As a result of this restriction, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred by the above holders may change depending upon changes in the outstanding Common Stock.
Pursuant to the management agreements, as amended, among the Adviser, the Funds and their respective general partners, the Funds&#x 2019; respective general partners relinquished to the Adviser all discretion and authority with respect to the investment and voting power of the securities held by the Funds, and thus the Adviser has complete and unlimited discretion and authority with respect to the Funds’ investments and voting power over investments.
The Adviser GP is the sole general partner of the Adviser. The Adviser GP, Felix J. Baker and Julian C. Baker as managing members of the Adviser GP, and the Adviser may be deemed to be beneficial owners of securities of the Issuer directly held by the Funds.
