SCHEDULE 13D

Explanatory Note

Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements certain items of the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 5, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on December 3, 2018, (together, the “Original Schedule 13D”), by the Reporting Persons relating to the Common Stock of Aimmune Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Issuer”). This Amendment amends the Original Schedule 13D on behalf of the Reporting Persons 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. Following an internal reorganization completed in 2019, two additional legal entities, Société des Produits Nestlé S.A., a Swiss société anonyme (“SPN”) and Nestlé US Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Nestlé US Holdco”), were added to the beneficial ownership chain. Accordingly, the Original Schedule 13D is amended by this Amendment to add these two entities as Reporting Persons.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of t he Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

On February 4, 2020, Nestle Health Science US Holdings, Inc. (“NHS”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated February 4, 2020, between the Issuer and NHS (the “2020 Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which NHS purchased (i) 1,000,000 newly issued shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock at a cash purchase price of $31.97 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $31,970,000.00 and (ii) 525,634 newly issued shares of the Issuer’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at a cash purchase price of $319.675 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $168,032,048.95. NHS purchased these shares with funds from its working capital. The 2020 Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference as described in Item 6 below.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

The information in Item 6 of this Amendment is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The first paragraph of Item 5(a) – (b) of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The information contained on the cover pages to this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference. The shares of Common Stock reported on this Amendment are directly held by NHS, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NIMCO. NIMCO, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nestlé US Holdco, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPN. The ultimate parent company of NHS, NIMCO, Nestlé US Holdco and SPN is Nestlé S.A. Based upon information contained in Exhibit 10.2 of the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on February 5, 2020, following the acquisition by NHS of the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the 2020 Purchase Agreement, the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by NHS comprises approximately 19.9% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Common Stock.

Except for the shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock owned by NHS and the options held by Mr. Behar described in the Original Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the other persons listed on Schedule I hereto beneficially owns any other securities of the Issuer.

 

7


(c) Except as described in Item 3, neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person listed on Schedule I hereto, have effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d) No other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities covered by this Amendment.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

On February 4, 2020 NHS and the Issuer and one or more of the Reporting Persons entered into the 2020 Purchase Agreement, an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “2020 Registration Rights Agreement”), an Amended and Restated Collaboration Agreement (the “2020 Collaboration Agreement”), and an Amended and Restated Standstill Agreement (the “2020 Standstill Agreement”), each of which amended and restated the then existing agreements among the Issuer and the applicable Reporting Person.

2020 Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to the 2020 Purchase Agreement, the Issuer agreed to issue and sell to NHS 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 525,634 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (together, the “Securities”) in a private placement for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $200 million. The transaction closed on February 7, 2020. Pursuant to the 2020 Purchase Agreement, NHS purchased (i) the shares of Common Stock at a price per share of $31.97 and (ii) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price per share of $319.675. The Series A Preferred Stock have no voting rights and are convertible into Common Stock of the Issuer only if NHS or a subsequent holder would not beneficially own greater than 19.99% of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into ten (10) shares of Common Stock. The 2020 Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by, among and for the benefit of the parties, as well as mutual indemnification obligations. The foregoing description of the 2020 Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, copies of which have been filed by the Issuer with the SEC and are incorporated by reference herein pursuant to Item 7 of this Amendment.

2020 Registration Rights Agreement

Concurrently with the entry by NHS and the Issuer into the 2020 Purchase Agreement, NHS and the Issuer entered into the 2020 Registration Rights Agreement, which amended and restated the prior Registration Rights Agreement between the Issuer and NHS. The 2020 Registration Rights Agreement provides NHS with certain registration rights that require the Issuer to register the shares of Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock purchased by NHS pursuant to the 2020 Purchase Agreement under the circumstances described therein. The foregoing description of the 2020 Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, copies of which have been filed with the SEC by the Issuer and are incorporated by reference herein pursuant to Item 7 of this Amendment.

2020 Collaboration Agreement

Concurrently with the entry by NHS and the Issuer into the 2020 Purchase Agreement, the Collaboration Agreement between the Issuer and NESTEC LTD was amended and restated to, among other things, (i) include SPN as a party thereto as the successor to NESTEC LTD and (ii) extend the term thereof by one year. The 2020 Collaboration Agreement provides for collaboration between the parties in connection with the development of the Issuer’s products as contemplated therein, including by (i) sharing information relating to the Issuer’s activities directed towards the development of the Issuer’s products for the treatment of allergies to one or more particular types of food (the “Development Programs”) and (ii) providing the Issuer access to SPN’s scientific, clinical, regulatory and commercial expertise relevant to such Development Programs. The term of the 2020 Collaboration

 

8


Agreement will end on November 11, 2021, unless earlier terminated or otherwise extended by the parties in accordance with the terms thereof. The foregoing description of the 2020 Collaboration Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, copies of which have been filed by the Issuer with the SEC and are incorporated by reference herein pursuant to Item 7 of this Amendment.

2020 Standstill Agreement

Concurrently with the entry by NHS and the Issuer into the 2020 Purchase Agreement, NHS and the Issuer executed the 2020 Standstill Agreement which amended and restated the prior Standstill Agreement by extending the term during which NHS agreed to not to effect sales of the Issuer’s Common Stock (the market standoff) through November 11, 2021. The other undertakings of NHS under the prior Standstill Agreement were not extended. The foregoing description of the 2020 Standstill Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, copies of which have been filed by the Issuer with the SEC and are incorporated by reference herein pursuant to Item 7 of this Amendment.
