EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) amends certain items of the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 20, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on April 17, 2020, as further amended by Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on May 15, 2020, as further amended by Amendment No. 3 filed with the SEC on September 4, 2020, as further amended by Amendment No. 4 filed with the SEC on September 17, 2020 (as so amended, the “Original Schedule 13D”) relating to the Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Immunovant, Inc. (the “Issuer”), which are beneficially owned by Roivant Sciences Ltd. (“Roivant” or the “Reporting Person”). This Amendment No. 5 amends the Original Schedule 13D on behalf of the Reporting Person to furnish the information set forth herein. Except as set forth below, all Items of the Original Schedule 13D remain unchanged. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

 

(a)-(j) Roivant intends to propose to the Issuer that Roivant and the Issuer evaluate a potential transaction pursuant to which Roivant or an affiliate would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer not currently owned by Roivant. Roivant expects that any potential transaction would be at a per share price representing a premium to current trading levels, consistent with similar precedent transactions in the life sciences industry involving acquisitions of minority interests by majority shareholders, with the mix of cash or equity consideration to be mutually determined by Roivant and the Issuer. Roivant is evaluating a potential public listing that would take effect prior to the consummation of any transaction with the Issuer. As the Issuer’s controlling shareholder, Roivant has received nonpublic information about the Issuer and its lead product candidate. No assurances can be given that a proposal will be made to the Issuer, that any transaction with the Issuer will be consummated or that Roivant will complete a public listing.

 

Other than as set forth herein, Roivant and its affiliates have no plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the events set forth in Items (a) through (j) of Schedule 13D. However, if a transaction is not consummated, Roivant intends to continue to participate in and influence the affairs of the Issuer as the controlling shareholder and Roivant will continue to review its investment in the Issuer and depending on market conditions and other factors may determine, from time to time, to engage in any of the events set forth in Items 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D.

 

Roivant has engaged Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and SVB Leerink LLC to serve as its financial advisors in connection with the evaluation of a potential transaction involving the Issuer.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:

 

(a)

Reporting Person (Roivant)

 

Roivant directly beneficially owns 56,377,388, or 57.5%, of the Common Stock (after giving effect to the 10,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock held by Roivant), and has sole voting and dispositive power over such Common Stock. Roivant disclaims beneficial ownership in all Common Stock reported herein, except to the extent of Roivant’s respective pecuniary interest therein.

 

(b)

See rows 7-10 of the cover page to this Amendment No. 5 for information regarding Roivant’s power to vote or direct the vote and its power to dispose or direct the disposition of the Common Stock. Except as disclosed in this Schedule 13D, Roivant does not and, to Roivant’s knowledge, the Covered Persons do not beneficially own any Common Stock or have the right to acquire any Common Stock.

 

(c)

Except as disclosed in this Amendment No. 5, Roivant has not effected and, to Roivant’s knowledge, none of the Covered Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

 

(d)

Except as disclosed in this Amendment No. 5, no person other than Roivant has the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, the proceeds from the sale of the shares to which this Amendment No. 5 relates.

 

(e)

Not applicable.
