Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) to the statement on Schedule 13D is being filed by the reporting person and amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 26, 2017, and relates to the shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”), of Exicure, Inc., formerly Max-1 Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”).
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
Item 3 is hereby supplemented as follows:
On September 26, 2017, Mr. Jacobs was granted 38,160 shares of Common Stock for his services rendered in connection with the Merger (as defined below) (the “Services Transaction”).
On September 26, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Exicure Operating Company, formerly Exicure, Inc. (“Exicure OpCo”), and Max-1 Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Me rger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Exicure OpCo, leaving Exicure OpCo. as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, the Company issued an aggregate of 26,666,620 shares of Common Stock, which caused significant dilution and resulted in the reporting person owning less than five percent of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. Immediately following the Merger, the Company sold 6,767,360 shares of Common Stock in a private placement offering (the “Offering”).
In connection with the Merger, Mr. Jacobs entered into a lock-up agreement, whereby he is restricted for a period of nine months after the Merger from certain sales or dispositions (including any pledge) of all of the Common Stock held by (or issuable to) him. The foregoing restrictions will not apply to certain other transfers customarily excepted.
In connection with the Merger, Mr. Jacobs entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed that promptly, but no later than 60 calendar days from the final closing of the Offering, to file a registration statement with the SEC, covering the shares of Common Stock held by Mr. Jacobs.
In connection with the Merger, Mr. Jacobs resigned as an officer and director of the Company.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby supplemented as follows:
See Item 3 above. The reporting person was an officer and director of the Company and acquired the securities for investment purposes. The reporting person acquired the 38,160 shares of Common Stock from the Company on September 26, 2017 in a transaction exempt from Section 16(b) pursuant to Rule 16b-3(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
The reporting person has sole voting and sole investment control over 103,160 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), representing approximately 0.3% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 26, 2017. Except as set forth in Item 3 above, the reporting person has not effected any transaction in the Common Stock during the last 60 days.
The reporting person ceased to be a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on September 26, 2017.
