Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

On and prior to the first closing of the Offering on February 27, 2023, OrbiMed Israel and OrbiMed BioFund, pursuant to their authority under the limited partnership agreement of OIP, as more particularly referred to in Item 6 below, caused OIP to purchase 348,000 Shares and 1,789,959 Pre-Funded Warrants in the Offering. The source of funds for such purchase was the working capital of OIP.

As a result of the transactions described in this Item 3, OrbiMed BioFund, as the general partner of OIP, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of approximately 10.5% of the outstanding Shares and OrbiMed Israel, as the general partner of OrbiMed BioFund, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of approximately 10.5% of the outstanding Shares (giving effect to the 375,000 warrants to purchase Shares (the “Warrants”) held by OIP and without giving effect to the Pre-Funded Warrants, which contain an issuance limitation that prohibits the holder from exercising the warrants to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates, including the Reporting Persons) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the shares of common stock issuance upon exercise of the warrants). OrbiMed Israel exercises this investment power through an investment committee comprised of Gordon and Chimovits, each of whom may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, directly or indirectly, including by reason of their mutual affiliation, to be the beneficial owners of the Shares, Warrants, and Pre-Funded Warrants.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Shares acquired by the Reporting Persons were acquired for the purpose of making an investment in the Issuer and not with the intention of acquiring control of the Issuer’s business on behalf of the Reporting Persons’ respective advisory clients.

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 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, 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) The following disclosure is based upon 33,181,773 Shares outstanding of the Issuer, which includes (i) 29,982,282 Shares outstanding of the Issuer as set forth in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2022 filed with the SEC on November 9, 2022 and (ii) 3,199,491 Shares sold in the Offering, as described in the Issuer’s Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on March 9, 2023.

OrbiMed BioFund is the general partner of OIP pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of OIP, and OrbiMed Israel is the general partner of OrbiMed BioFund pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of OrbiMed BioFund. OrbiMed Israel exercises this investment power through an investment committee comprised of Gordon and Chimovits. As a result, OrbiMed Israel, OrbiMed BioFund, Gordon, and Chimovits share the power to direct the vote and disposition of the Shares, Warrants, and Pre-Funded Warrants held by OIP, and OrbiMed Israel, OrbiMed BioFund, Gordon, and Chimovits may be deemed directly or indirectly, including by reason of their mutual affiliation, to be the beneficial owners of the Shares, Warrants, and Pre-Funded Warrants held by OIP.

In addition, OrbiMed Israel and OrbiMed BioFund, pursuant to their authority under the limited partnership agreement of OIP, caused OIP to enter into the agreements referred to in Item 6 below.

(c) Other than as discussed in Item 3, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions during the past sixty (60) days in any Shares.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.

Such authority includes the power to vote and otherwise dispose of securities held by OIP. The number of outstanding Shares of the Issuer attributable to OIP is 3,161,489. The number of outstanding Warrants of the Issuer attributable to OIP is 375,000. The number of outstanding Pre-Funded Warrants of the Issuer attributable to OIP is 1,789,959.

Expenses and indemnification. The fees, costs and expenses of registrations pursuant to the registration rights granted to the Investors under the Registration Rights Agreement will be borne by the Issuer. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary cross-indemnification provisions, under which the Issuesr is obligated to indemnify holders of Registrable Securities in the event of material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement attributable to the Issuer, and holders of Registrable Securities are obligated to indemnify the Issuser for material misstatements or omissions attributable to them.

Securities of the Company shall cease to be Registrable Securities upon the earliest to occur of (i) a registration statement with respect to the sale of such Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act and such Registrable Securities have been disposed of by the Investor in accordance with such effective registration statement, (ii) such Registrable Securities have been previously sold in accordance with Rule 144, and (iii) such securities become eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed, delivered and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Investors.
