| ITEM 1. | SECURITY AND ISSUER: |
| This Schedule 13D/A (this Amendment) relates to the common stock of BioCardia, Inc. (the Issuer) and amends that certain Schedule 13D jointly filed by Roumell, RAM and the Fund (the Reporting Persons) on September 20, 2021 (the Oringinal 13D). This Amendment amends and supercedes only those Items set forth in the Amendment. The principal executive office of the Issuer is 125 Shoreway Road, Suite B, San Carlos, CA 94070. | |
| ITEM 2. | IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND: |
| This joint statement on Schedule 13D is being filed by Roumell Asset Management, LLC and by James C. Roumell (the Reporting Persons). Roumell Asset Management is organized as a Maryland limited liability company. Its principal address, and address of its principal business, is 2 Wisconsin Circle, Suite 700, Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815. Roumell Asset Management is a registered investment adviser. Mr. Roumell's business address is 2 Wisconsin Circle, Suite 700, Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815. Mr. Roumell's present principal occupation is acting as the President of Roumell Asset Management, a registered investment adviser, whose address is set forth above. During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors). During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been a party to any civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction which resulted in 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 violations with respect to such laws. |
|
| ITEM 3. | SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION: |
| Roumell Asset Management is the sole investment adviser to the Roumell Opportunistic Value Fund (the Fund), an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. As investment adviser to the Fund, Roumell Asset Management caused the Fund to purchase 556,280 shares of common stock of the Issuer. The aggregate purchase price was $2,255,524, inclusive of brokerage commissions. The sources of funding for these purchases were proceeds from the sale of Fund shares. | |
| ITEM 4. | PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION: |
| The Reporting Persons acquired shares of the common stock of the Issuer as part of their ordinary course of business for investment purposes, based on their belief that the Issuer's stock is undervalued and represents an attractive investment opportunity. As of September 20, 2021, the Reporting Persons decided to send a letter to the Issuer's board of directors to explore ways to maximize shareholder value, particularly with respect to monetizing the Issuer's intellectual property assets. Accordingly, on September 22, 2021, the Reporting Persons sent a letter to the Issuer's board of directors. A copy of this letter was incorporated by reference as Exhibit 7.01 to the Original 13D. On February 3, 2022, the Reporting Persons decided to reduce the size of their position in the Issuer's common stock. The Reporting Persons may also enter into discussions with third parties and other shareholders; however, the Reporting Persons have no intention to enter into any agreements or understandings with other shareholders regarding the holding, acquiring, selling or voting of the common stock of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons, in the ordinary course of business, regularly review their equity interest in the Issuer. The Reporting Persons have no current intention to purchase additional shares or to dispose of all or any portion of the shares of the Issuer. Depending on their assessment of the foregoing factors, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, modify their present intention as stated in this Item 4. Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons do not have at this time any specific plans which would result in (a) the acquisition by the Reporting Persons of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition by the Reporting Persons of securities of the Issuer; (b) any extraordinary corporate transactions such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) any sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present management or board of directors, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board of directors; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuers business or corporate structure; (g) any change in the Issuers charter or bylaws which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) the Issuers common stock being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system or a registered national securities association; (i) causing a class of equity securities of the Issuer to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above. |
|
| ITEM 5. | INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER: |
| (a) See Items 11 and 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D, which Items are incorporated herein by reference, for the aggregate number of shares and percentage of common stock beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons. (b) See Items 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D, which Items are incorporated herein by reference, for the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons as to which there is sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and/or sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of such shares of common stock. The 556,280 shares are deemed to be owned beneficially by Roumell Asset Management solely as a result of its discretionary power over such shares as investment adviser to the Fund. Mr. Roumell is the President of Roumell Asset Management and holds a controlling percentage of its outstanding voting securities and, as a result of his position with and ownership of securities of Roumell Asset Management, Mr. Roumell could be deemed the beneficial owner of the shares beneficially owned by Roumell Asset Management and the Fund. The percentage of the common stock set forth for each Reporting Person in this Item 5 was calculated based upon on the 16,871,265 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 1, 2021, as stated on the facing page of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, filed by the Issuer. (c) During the 60-day period ended February 3, 2022, Roumell Asset Management conducted the following transactions in the Issuer's common stock on behalf of the Fund, as noted below. Prices do not reflect brokerage commissions paid. Date No. of Shares Aggregate Price Buy/Sell 02/03/2022 275,000 549,092.50 Sell 02/04/2022 107,100 215,945.73 Sell Mr. Roumell did not have any transactions in the Issuer's common stock during the 60-day period ended February 3, 2022. (d) Investors in the Fund do not have the right to receive or direct the receipt of dividends from the 556,280 shares of the Issuer's common stock. Any dividends and proceeds from the sale of such shares become assets of the Fund. (e) As of February 3, 2022, the Reporting Persons have ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of the common stock outstanding as of November 1, 2021, as stated on the facing page of Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 (the Form 10-Q) filed by Issuer. |
