Item 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER

 

This Amendment No. 2 hereby amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the SEC on June 15, 2020 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended by the statement on Schedule 13D/A filed with the SEC on March 22, 2022 (“Amendment No. 1” and, together with the Original Schedule 13D, the “Prior Statements”). The securities to which the Schedule 13D relates are the shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of Lantern Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).

 

The Purpose of this Amendment No. 2 is to disclose the sale of Shares by each of Bios Fund I, LP (“Bios Fund I”) and Bios Fund I QP, LP (“Bios Fund I QP”) to the Issuer. On November 21, 2023, the Issuer entered into separate Securities Purchase Agreements with Bios Fund I and Bios Fund I QP pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase from Bios Fund I and Bios Fund I QP an aggregate of 145,348 Shares at a purchase price of $3.44 per share, for a total purchase price of $499,997.12. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Prior Statements remains unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Prior Statements.

 

Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:

 

On November 21, 2023, the Issuer entered into separate Securities Purchase Agreements with Bios Fund I and Bios Fund I QP pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase from Bios Fund I and Bios Fund I QP an aggregate of 145,348 Shares at a purchase price of $3.44 per share, for a total purchase price of $499,997.12.  The agreements contain customary representations, warranties, and covenants for agreements of such nature. The transactions under the agreements closed on November 29, 2023. The motivations of the Reporting Persons to enter into these transactions did not relate to the activities or operations of the Company and was for the purpose of generating working capital for the operations of the Reporting Persons and ensuring adequate liquidity.

 

Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

(a) See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Amendment No. 2 for the aggregate number of Shares and percentages of the Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons. See footnotes (1) and (2), as applicable, of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D/A for the calculations used in determining the percentages of Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons.
   
(b) See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Amendment No. 2 for the number of Shares as to which each Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition.
   
(c) Except as described in this Amendment No. 2, none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of the Reporting Persons' knowledge, any of their respective executive officers or directors, as applicable, has acquired or disposed of, any securities of the Issuer from the 60 days prior to the date of the event which requires the filing of this Amendment No. 2 up through the date hereof.
   
(d) Except as described in this Amendment No. 2 to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, only the reporting Persons have the right to receive or the power to direct receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares reported by the Schedule 13D.
   
(e) Not applicable.
