Note. Schedules filed in paper format shall include a signed original and five copies of the schedule, including all exhibits. See § 240.13d-7 for other parties to whom copies are to be sent.

The information required on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Cerevel Therapeutics Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person on November 4, 2020 (the “Initial Statement” and, as amended by this Amendment No. 1, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Statement.

On July 7, 2021, the Issuer completed a public offering pursuant to which the Issuer issued and sold 14,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “July 2021 Offering”). The Reporting Person did not participate in the July 2021 Offering. As a result of the July 2021 Offering, the Issuer’s total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock increased to 141,325,116 and the percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock that the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own was reduced by more than one percent.

As of July 7, 2021, based on publicly available information, Pfizer owns 27,349,211 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 19.4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
