Explanatory Note.

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on August 20, 2021 (the “Original 13D”). Only those items that are hereby reported are amended; all other items reported in the Original 13D remain unchanged. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable. Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original 13D and any supplements thereto.

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

The second sentence of Item 1 of the Original 13D is hereby amended and restated as set forth below:

“The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 1601 Trapelo Road, Suite 178, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451.”

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Original 13D is hereby amended and restated as set forth below.

“The information set forth in Item 3 of the Original 13D is incorporated herein by reference. The Reporting Persons hold the securities of the Issuer for general investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may, from time to time, depending on prevailing market, economic and other conditions, acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, dispose of any such securities, or engage in discussions with the Issuer concerning such acquisitions or dispositions or further investments in the Issuer. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and, depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the outcome of any discussions and director nominations referenced in this Item 4, the price and availability of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, actions taken by the Board, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer’s financial position, strategic direction, business and prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors considered relevant, may from time to time and at any time in the future take such actions with respect to the investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, increasing or decreasing the size of their investment in the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to 10b5-1 trading plans or otherwise, selling or obtaining financing on some or all of their beneficial or economic holdings, engaging in hedging or similar transactions with respect to securities that are based upon or relate to the value of the Common Stock and/or otherwise changing their intentions with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

The Reporting Persons further expect to engage in discussions with the Issuer and the Issuer’s management and Board, other stockholders of the Issuer and other interested parties on issues that may relate to the business, management, operations, assets, capitalization, financial condition, strategic plans, governance and Board composition and the future of the Issuer, including without limitation with respect to the matters set forth below.

On March 28, 2022, Mithril II, in accordance with the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Issuer (the “Bylaws”), submitted to the Issuer its formal notice of intent (the “Notice”) to nominate candidates for election to the Issuer’s Board at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer (including any adjournment or postponement thereof or any special meeting held in lieu thereof, the “2022 Annual Meeting”). The Notice stated that, at the 2022 Annual Meeting, Mithril II, in its capacity as a stockholder of record of the Issuer, intends to nominate for election as Class I directors of the Issuer, Mr. Clive A. Meanwell, M.B, Ch.B., M.D., Mr. Marc Elia and Ms. Tamsin Berry (each a “Nominee” and, collectively, the “Nominees”). In the Notice, Mithril II also reserved the right to withdraw and/or make substitutions for one or more Nominees.

Also on March 28, 2022, certain of the Reporting Persons and M28, Polaris, Adimab, LLC, and Population Health (each as defined below) reached an agreement to vote all of their respective shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in favor of the election of the Nominees at the 2022 Annual Meeting.


Royan is a member of the Board. In addition, Royan, in his capacity as a director, may be entitled to receive cash compensation and equity compensation, including stock option or other equity awards, pursuant to the Issuer’s non-employee director compensation policy, which became effective upon the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined below).

The Reporting Persons may also take one or more additional actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, and may discuss such actions with the Issuer and the Board and management team, stockholders and other persons. Mithril II currently intends to conduct a proxy solicitation to elect the Nominees at the 2022 Annual Meeting.

The information set forth in Item 5(a), Item 5(b) and Item 6 of this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.”

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5(a) and Item 5(b) of the Original 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:

“See Items 7-11 of the cover pages of this Amendment and Item 2 to the Original 13D.

On March 28, 2022, Mithril II and (i) M28 Capital Management LP (together with certain of its affiliates, “M28”), (ii) Polaris Venture Partners V, L.P., Polaris Venture Partners Entrepreneurs’ Fund V, L.P., Polaris Venture Partners Founders’ Fund V, L.P., Polaris Venture Partners Special Founders’ Fund V, L.P., Polaris Partners IX, L.P. and Polaris Healthcare Technology Opportunities Fund, L.P. (collectively, “Polaris”), (iii) Adimab, LLC and (iv) Population Health Equity Partners III, L.P., Population Health Equity Partners VII, L.P. and Clive Meanwell (“Population Health”), orally agreed to coordinate and cooperate in certain of their activities with regard to the Issuer, which agreement was subsequently memorialized, also on March 28, 2022, in an email circulated among representatives of such persons. That agreement provides that each such person will vote its shares of Common Stock in favor of the election of the Nominees at the 2022 Annual Meeting. By virtue of such agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be part of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act) comprised of the Reporting Persons and such other persons.

Each of the Reporting Persons, M28, Polaris (and certain affiliates), Adimab, LLC and Population Health (and certain affiliates) are filing a separate Schedule 13D (or as applicable, a Schedule 13D amendment) under the Act containing its required information, including reporting the interests in Common Stock that such persons may be deemed to beneficially own. None of the Reporting Persons assumes any responsibility for the information contained in the Schedule 13Ds or Schedule 13D amendments filed by such other persons. Based in part on information provided by or behalf of such other persons, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 54,061,1131 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 48.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on 111,251,660 shares of Common Stock outstanding, as reported by the Issuer in its Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on November 15, 2021). The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership over any Common Stock that they may be deemed to beneficially own solely by reason of the agreement reached among Mithril II, M28, Polaris, Adimab, LLC and Population Health, and beneficial ownership of any securities of the Issuer other than those reported in this Schedule 13D.

The information set forth in Item 4, Item 5(a), Item 5(b) and Item 6 of this Amendment and Exhibit 6 to this Amendment are incorporated herein by reference.”

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

Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as set forth below:

“The information set forth in Item 4, Item 5(a) and Item 5(b) of this Amendment and Exhibit 6 to this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.”

 

 

1 

Calculated based on (i) the 11,241,580 shares of Common Stock owned of record by Mithril II, (ii) 8,531,700 shares of Common Stock disclosed to the Reporting Persons by Polaris as being beneficially owned by Polaris and/or certain affiliates and related persons, (iii) 6,398,250 shares of Common Stock disclosed to the Reporting Persons by M28 as being beneficially owned by M28 Capital Management LP and certain related persons, (iv) 26,687,906 shares of Common Stock disclosed to the Reporting Persons by Adimab, LLC as being beneficially owned by Adimab, LLC and/or certain affiliates and related persons and (v) 1,201,680 shares of Common Stock disclosed to the Reporting Persons by Population Health as being beneficially owned by Population Health and/or certain affiliates and related persons.


Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Item 7 of the Original 13D is hereby supplemented to include the following exhibit:

 

Exhibit 6:    Email memorializing the agreement reached among Mithril II, M28, Polaris, Adimab, LLC and Population Health (filed herewith).
