This Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment”) is being jointly filed by (i) Park West Asset Management LLC (“PWAM”), a Delaware limited liability company and the investment manager to (a) Park West Investors Master Fund, Limited (“PWIMF”), a Cayman Islands exempted company and (b) Park West Partners International, Limited (“PWPI” and, collectively with PWIMF, the “PW Funds”), a Cayman Islands exempted company; (ii) PWIMF; and (iii) Peter S. Park, as the sole member and manager of PWAM (“Mr. Park” and, collectively with PWAM and PWIMF, the “Reporting Persons”).
This Amendment amends the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 20, 2017, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to such Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on December 31, 2018 (“Amendment No. 1”), as further amended by Amendment No. 2 to such Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on March 1, 2019 (“Amendment No. 2,”), as further amended by Amendment No. 3 to such Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on May 20, 2020 (“Amendment No. 3” and together with Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2, the “prior Schedule 13D” and as amended hereby, this “Schedule 13D”), relating to the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of PLx Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Except as set forth below, the prior Schedule 13D remains in effect, and capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have such respective meanings as defined in the prior Schedule 13D. The information set forth in response to each separate Item below shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant. The information set forth in the exhibits attached hereto is expressly incorporated herein by reference and the response to each Item of this Schedule 13D is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of such exhibits.
This Amendment hereby amends Item 4, Item 5, Item 6 and Item 7 of the prior Schedule 13D as follows:
Item 4. |
Purpose of Transaction
|
Item 4 of the prior Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by adding the information below:
Sales Agency Agreement
On June 7, 2021, the PW Funds entered into a Sales Agency Agreement (the “Sales Agency Agreement”) with Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (the “Sales Agent”), pursuant to which the Sales Agent agreed to serve as the PW Fund’s exclusive agent with respect to the placement of up to 3,000,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock issuable upon conversion of certain shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock held by the PW Funds. Pursuant to the Sales Agency Agreement |
between the PW Funds and the Sales Agent, the Sales Agent agreed to sell such shares in exchange for a commission of 4.0% of the gross price of the shares sold, plus reimbursement of up to $35,000 in expenses. Under the Sales Agency Agreement, the PW Funds also agreed to a contractual lock-up for a period beginning on the date of the Sales Agency Agreement and ending 180 days after the closing date of the sale, during which time the PW Funds agreed not to directly or indirectly sell, offer or contract to sell any shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock held by the PW Funds except pursuant to the Sales Agency Agreement and not to enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequences of ownership of the Issuer’s Common Stock.
On June 9, 2021, the Sales Agent consummated the sale of 3,000,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agency Agreement. Immediately prior to the sale, the PW Funds converted an aggregate of (i) 2,358 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into an aggregate of 1,064,517 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 5,636 shares of Series B Preferred Stock into an aggregate of 1,935,483 shares of Common Stock. The sale was completed on June 11, 2021, and no further sales may be made by the PW Funds for a period of 180 days from the date of the sale.
Pursuant to the Series A Certificate of Designations and the Series B Certificate of Designations (collectively, the “Certificate of Designations”), the Issuer was required to pay dividends quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December in each year, commencing upon the date of issuance and ending upon the date the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the New Drug Applications for certain of the Issuer’s products, which occurred on March 1, 2021. As a result, pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, an adjustment to the applicable conversion price has been made to each of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, such that after adjustment the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are convertible equals the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares, plus any in-kind dividends in respect of such shares, would have been convertible if such dividends had all been paid in kind, in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, as applicable, prior to the conversion date. As a result of these adjustments, the conversion price of the Ser ies A Preferred Stock has been reduced to $2.2155 per share from $2.60 per share, and the conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock has been reduced to $2.9125 per share from $3.10 per share.
The summary of the Sales Agency Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Sales Agency Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference. |
