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

 

Fund II, Fund 6 and Fund 7 (collectively, the “E&H Entities”) initially entered into a Voting Agreement, dated March 9, 2021 (the “Original Voting Agreement”) with Dong-A ST Co., Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea (“Dong-A”, and together with the E&H Entities, the “Stockholders”). On August 27, 2021, the E&H Entities and Dong-A entered into the Amended and Restated Voting Agreement (the “A&R Voting Agreement”) that amended the Original Voting Agreement to: (a) eliminate any obligation of the Stockholders to vote in favor of (i) the other Stockholder’s directors at the Issuers’ 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, (ii) any proposal submitted to the Issuer’s stockholders in connection with a transaction that was approved by the Issuer’s Board of Directors providing for the contribution by Dong-A of the DA Products (a “Proposed Transaction”) and (iii) any proposal submitted to the Issuer’s stockholders providing for the declassification of the Issuer’s Board of Directors; (b) eliminate the contractual restrictions of the Stockholders on transfers of or granting proxies on their respective shares of Common Stock; (c) modify the terms of the Put Right (as defined in the A&R Voting Agreement) to be exercisable upon the earlier of either six months after the closing of a Proposed Transaction or December 31, 2022, provided that the E&H Entities do not at the time have the right to require the Company to file a resale registration statement or are otherwise able to sell their shares of Common Stock without volume limitations under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and (d) remove the right of each Stockholder to terminate the A&R Voting Agreement upon 30 days prior written notice.

 

The foregoing summary of the A&R Voting Agreement does not purport to be a complete description of the terms and conditions of such agreement, and such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R Voting Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Reporting Persons intend to review its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may from time to time and at any time in the future depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Issuer’s Board of Directors, price levels of the Common Stock, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, take such actions with respect to its investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, which include, without limitation: (i) acquiring additional shares of Common Stock and/or other equity, debt, notes, other securities, or derivative or other instruments that are convertible into shares of Common Stock, or are based upon or relate to the value of the Common Stock or the Issuer (collectively, “Securities”) in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, from the Issuer or otherwise; (ii) disposing of any or all of their Securities in the open market or otherwise; (iii) engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Securities; or (iv) proposing or considering one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the form of Schedule 13D.

 

Except as set forth above, previously reported and except in Ms. Kim’s capacity as a director of the Issuer and as set forth herein, each of the Reporting Persons has no present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the form of Schedule 13D.

 

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