This Amendment No. 4 to the statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Humacyte, Inc. (the “Issuer”), filed by Laura E. Niklason (“Dr. Niklason”), Brady W. Dougan (“Mr. Dougan”) and Ayabudge LLC (“Ayabudge” and, together with Dr. Niklason and Mr. Dougan, the “Reporting Persons”) on August 21, 2023 (such statement, as amended herein the “Schedule 13D”), amends the Schedule 13D as set forth below.
All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 4, items in the Schedule 13D remain unchanged.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to be supplemented by the following:
On June 15, 2023, Ayabudge sold 500,000 shares of Common Stock in block trades to institutional healthcare investors at a price of $3.1175 per share for an aggregate sale price of approximately $1.6 million (excluding commissions).
On August 17, 2023, Ayabudge sold 570,174 shares of Common Stock in the open market at a weighted average price of $3.68 per share for an aggregate sale price of approximately $2.1 million (excluding commissions).
On August 18, 2023, Ayabudge sold 626,979 shares of Common Stock in the open market at a weighted average price of $3.57 per share for an aggregate sale price of approximately $2.2 million (excluding commissions).
On August 21, 2023, Ayabudge sold 602,443 shares of Common Stock in the open market at a weighted average price of $3.39 per share for an aggregate sale price of approximately $2.0 million (excluding commissions).
Mr. Dougan used the proceeds of these transactions to pay down leverage while providing a mechanism for the purchasers to acquire shares at a time that the Issuer was not conducting a financing transaction. Dr. Niklason is treated as indirectly beneficially owning the shares of Common Stock sold. However, no shares of Common Stock directly owned by Dr. Niklason were sold in these transactions.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in full as follows:
(a)-(b)

| Laura E. Niklason, M.D., Ph.D. | 11.1% | |||||||
| Brady W. Dougan | 11.1% | |||||||
