Except as otherwise described herein, the information contained in the Amended Schedule 13D remains in effect. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 9 shall have the respective meanings set forth with respect thereto in the Amended Schedule 13D.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

 

No changes. 

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. 

 

No changes, except as set forth below.

 

The information set forth in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 9 is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

No changes, except as set forth below.

 

On July 31, 2022, Stealth Parent Limited (“Parent”), Stealth Merger Sub Limited (“Merger Sub”) and the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Stealth BioTherapeutics Corp. would be acquired by a consortium of investors led by Morningside Venture (I) Investments Ltd. for itself and on behalf of its affiliates (“Morningside”) and J. Wood Capital Advisors LLC (“J. Wood Capital”, together with Morningside, the “Consortium”).

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger (the "Effective Time"), each Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and cease to exist, in exchange for the right to receive US$0.03125 in cash without interest (the "Per Share Merger Consideration"), and each outstanding American Depositary Share of the Issuer (each an "ADS," representing 12 Ordinary Shares, and collectively, the “ADSs”) will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$0.375 in cash without interest (less any ADS cancellation fees not to exceed $0.05 per ADS) (the "Per ADS Merger Consideration"), except for (a) Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) beneficially owned by Morningside and its affiliates, (b) Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) owned by Parent, Merger Sub or the Issuer (as treasury shares, if any) or by any of their direct or indirect subsidiaries, and (c) Ordinary Shares that are held by a holder who has validly exercised and not withdrawn or lost its right to dissent from the merger pursuant to Section 238 of the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands, which will be cancelled and cease to exist and will entitle the former holder thereof to receive payment of the fair value of such dissenting shares in accordance with Section 238 of the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands. The Consortium intends to fund the merger through cash contributions from members of the Consortium.

 

 

 

 

CUSIP No. 85788D100

 

The merger, which is currently expected to close during the second half of 2022, is subject to customary closing conditions including the approval of the Merger Agreement by an affirmative vote of holders of Shares representing at least two-thirds of the voting power of the Shares present and voting in person or by proxy as a single class at a meeting of the Company's shareholders which will be convened to consider the approval of the Merger Agreement and the merger. Morningside, Season Pioneer Investments Limited and Equal Talent Investments Limited have agreed to vote all of the Shares and ADSs they beneficially own, which represent approximately 65% of the voting rights attached to the total outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company as of the date of the Merger Agreement, in favor of the authorization and approval of the Merger Agreement and the merger. If completed, the merger will result in the Company becoming a privately-held company and its ADSs will no longer be listed on Nasdaq.

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on July 31, 2022, (i) each of Morningside and J. Wood entered into a Limited Guarantee with the Issuer, pursuant to which each of Morningside and J. Wood has agreed to guarantee the payment of certain obligations of Parent under the Merger Agreement (together, the “Limited Guarantees”), (ii) the Issuer and Morningside and certain of its affiliates entered into the Voting and Support Agreement pursuant to which Morningside and such affiliates have agreed to vote in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) and (iii) Morningside and J. Wood entered into that certain Interim Investors Agreement pursuant to which Morningside and J. Wood agreed to certain terms and conditions to govern their relationship with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Interim Investors Agreement”).

 

The description of the Merger Agreement, Limited Guarantees, Voting Agreement and Interim Investors Agreement in this Amendment No. 9 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, Limited Guarantees, Voting Agreement and Interim Investors Agreement, copies of which are filed herewith, and incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

No changes, except as set forth below.

 

(a)-(b) The information contained on the cover pages to this Amendment No. 9 is incorporated herein by reference. The aggregate percentage of Ordinary Shares reported beneficially owned by each person named herein is determined in accordance with SEC rules and is based upon 882,582,802 of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares outstanding. The applicable SEC rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities. In computing the percentage ownership of the Reporting Persons, we have included, if applicable, Ordinary Shares that the Reporting Persons have the right to acquire within 60 days after the date of this filing.

 

Except as disclosed in this Amendment No. 9, none of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns any Ordinary Shares or has the right to acquire any Ordinary Shares. Except as disclosed in this Amendment No. 9, none of the Reporting Persons presently has the power to vote or to direct the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition of any of the Ordinary Shares which it may be deemed to beneficially own.
