On September 22, 2021, the Issuer entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Piper Sandler & Co. and Raymond James & Associates, Inc., as representatives of the underwriters listed therein, relating to an underwritten public offering (the "Offering") of (a) 22,828,072 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, at a public offering price of $2.85 per share, and (b) pre-funded warrants to purchase 8,771,928 shares of Common Stock at a public offering price of $2.849 per pre-funded warrant (the "Pre-Funded Warrants"). The Common Stock and the Pre-Funded Warrants were offered and sold by the Issuer pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-248797) that was previously filed by the Issuer with the SEC on September 14, 2020 and was declared effective by the SEC on October 16, 2020.

All funds for the purchase of the securities were obtained from the working capital of BeiGene.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The information set forth or incorporated in Items 3 and 6 hereof are incorporated herein by reference. BeiGene acquired the securities described in this Amendment for investment purposes and intends to review its investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions BeiGene might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon BeiGene’s review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.
BeiGene may acquire additional securities of the Issuer or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, BeiGene may engage in discussions with management, the board of directors, and securityholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, including, but not limited to: a merger, reorganization or other transaction that could result in the de-listing or de-registration of the Common Stock; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or distribution policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition of the board of directors of the Issuer. There can be no assurance, however, that BeiGene will take any of the foregoing actions, that any proposed transaction will receive the requisite approvals from the respective governing bodies and securityholders, as applicable, or that any such transaction will be successfully implemented.
Except as disclosed in this Amendment, BeiGene currently has no plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any transaction, event or action enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. BeiGene may, however, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider its position and/or change its purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect to those items and/or may determine to acquire additional securities of the Issuer or dispose of or hedge its investment in securities of the Issuer.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
On January 7, 2020, the Issuer issued 473,934 shares of Series B Mandatorily Convertible Cumulative Non-Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") to BeiGene for approximately $5 million in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Upon shareholder approval and conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, on March 12, 2020, the Issuer issued to BeiGene 4,804,637 shares of Common Stock. Concurrently with the execution of the securities purchase agreement for the Series B Preferred Stock, the Issuer entered into a registration rights agreement with BeiGene and other purchasers (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which the Issuer agreed, following demand by any purchaser, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or exercise of coverage warrants as promptly as reasonably practicable following such demand, and in any event within 60 days after such demand.
