This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D initially filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 11, 2023, as amended by the Schedule 13D/A previously filed with the SEC on October 31, 2023  (the “Statement”) with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Ayala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Issuer”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Statement.

Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

New Notes and Warrants. On November 17, 2023, the Issuer issued Senior Convertible Promissory Notes (the “New Notes”) to several investors in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000, including New Notes to each of IBF I and IBF II, with a principal amount of $750,000 and $1,650,000, respectively. Pursuant to the New Notes (i) Issuer shall pay interest to the holders thereof quarterly in kind (unless Issuer otherwise elects to pay interest to the holder quarterly in cash) on the principal amount of the New Notes at a rate equal to the daily simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 7% per annum (subject to certain adjustments, as provided therein); (ii) the New Note’s maturity date is November 17, 2028, or such earlier date as the New Note is converted or required to be repaid as provided therein; (iii) the New Note is required to be senior to all the Issuer’s other indebtedness other than the permitted indebtedness as specified in the New Notes; (iv) all or any portion of the principal amount of the New Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest and any charges thereon, is voluntarily convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the holder’s option, into shares of Common Stock, and are subject to mandatory conversion upon certain events, including a change of control transaction and certain financing transactions involving the Company, at a conversion price equal to the lower of (x) 50% of the Common Stock’s price per share as of market close on November 16, 2023, i.e., $0.40 (the “Initial Conversion Price”) and (y) 50% of the Common Stock’s price per share as of the close of market on the trading date immediately prior to the date the holder delivers a notice of conversion (the “Updated Conversion Price”), subject to adjustments as set forth therein. Accordingly, on November 17, 2023, IBF I and IBF II acquired beneficial ownership of 1,875,000 shares of Common Stock and 4,125,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, in each case, computed based on the Initial Conversion Price in the New Notes (collectively, the “New Notes Conversion Shares”).

 

In connection with the issuance of the New Notes, Issuer issued to IBF I and IBF II warrants (the “New Notes Warrants”) to purchase 2,812,500 shares of Common Stock and 6,187,500 shares of Common Stock, respectively (collectively, the “New Notes Warrant Shares”). Pursuant to the New Notes Warrants (i) the New Notes Warrants’ expiration date is November 17, 2028; (ii) the exercise price is equal to the lower of (x) 50% of the Common Stock’s price per share as of market close on November 16, 2023, i.e., $0.40 and (y) 50% of the Common Stock’s price per share as of the close of market on the trading date immediately prior to the date the holder delivers a notice of exercise, subject to adjustments as set forth therein, which exercise may be on a cashless basis.

 

Also on November 17, 2023, in connection with the New Notes, (i) Issuer, IBF I, IBF II and  other investors entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, Issuer undertook to file a registration statement, covering the resale of the New Notes Conversion Shares, New Notes Warrant Shares and other Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and (ii) Issuer, IBF I, IBF II and the other investors in the New Notes entered into a Subordination Agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the holders of the New Notes agreed that the indebtedness under the New Notes shall be subordinated to the A&R Notes (as defined below).

 

A&R Notes and New Warrants. On November 17, 2023, Issuer, IBF I and IBF II also agreed to amend and restate the terms of the Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes issued by Issuer on August 7, 2023 (the “Original Notes”), to conform to the terms of the New Notes. As such, Issuer issued Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “A&R Notes”) to each of IBF I and IBF II, with a principal amount of $1,500,000 and $500,000, respectively, which A&R Notes replace the Original Notes. Accordingly, on November 17, 2023, as part of the reduction of the Initial Conversion Price, IBF I and IBF II beneficially own of 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, in each case, computed based on the updated Initial Conversion Price in the A&R Notes (collectively, the “A&R Notes Conversion Shares”), in lieu of the 1,304,348 shares of Common Stock and 434,783 shares of Common Stock previously reported in the Statement.
