Item 4.

Item 4 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

The information set forth under Items 3 and 6 is hereby incorporated by reference.

All of the securities of the Issuer acquired under the Common Stock and Note Purchase Agreement and the A&R Purchase Agreement described in Item 6 were acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons intend to review on a continuing basis the investment in the Issuer. Based on such review, the Reporting Persons may acquire, or cause to be disposed, such securities at any time or formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities, to the extent deemed advisable in light of general investment and trading policies of the Reporting Persons, the Issuer’s business, financial condition and operating results, general market and industry conditions or other factors.

Dr. David Rubin, an employee of Merck, continues to serve on the board of directors of the Issuer. Except as otherwise described in this Schedule 13D, or pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedule A to this Schedule 13D, currently has any plans or proposals that would result in:

An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

 

(c)

A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

 

(d)

Any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board;

 

(e)

Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;

---

(f)

Any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure including but not limited to, if the Issuer is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940;

 

(g)

Changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

(i)

A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or

 

(j)

However, as part of the ongoing evaluation of this investment and investment alternatives, the Reporting Persons may consider such matters and, subject to applicable law, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters, and, from time to time, may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management or the Board of the Issuer, other stockholders of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 8,364,270 shares of Common Stock of which 5,685,248 of the 8,364,270 shares of Common Stock represent shares that the Purchaser has the right to acquire from the Issuer pursuant to the A&R Purchase Agreement and Warrants. The Common Stock voting rights represent 37.5% of the total number of shares of common stock treated as outstanding for purposes of such vote. The ownership percentages set forth in this Schedule 13D, according to information provided by the Issuer. As a result of their direct and indirect ownership of the Purchaser, each of MSD and Merck may be deemed to share the Common Stock voting rights held in the name of the Purchaser.

(b) Each of the Reporting Persons has the power to vote or direct the vote of the 2,679,022 votes that may be cast in actions taken by common stockholders as a result of the shares of Common Stock held in the name of the Purchaser. None of the Reporting Persons has sole or shared power to direct the disposition of any shares of Common Stock.

(c) To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the Reporting Persons nor the individuals named in Schedule A to this Schedule 13D has effected a transaction in shares of the Issuer during the past 60 days (other than the transactions contemplated by the A&R Purchase Agreement described below).

(d) Other than the Reporting Persons, no other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of the Reporting Persons’ securities.

(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6.

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

Item 6 is hereby amended by inserting the following paragraphs at the end thereof:

Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement

On May 18, 2016, the Issuer entered into an amended and restated securities purchase agreement (the “A&R Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors named therein, including the Purchaser which amended and restated the securities purchase agreement dated as of May 12, 2016 (the “Original Purchase Agreement”).

---

The A&R Purchase Agreement amended the Original Purchase Agreement to provide for the purchase, at the election of each Investor, of units (“Units”) consisting of (i) either (A) one share of the Issuer’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), or (B) one share of non-voting, convertible preferred stock par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”) and (ii) warrants to acquire 0.75 of one share of Common Stock (the “Warrants”).

Under the A&R Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser (i) acquired from the Issuer 1,200,000 shares of common stock and warrants to acquire 900,000 shares of common stock on May 19, 2016 and (ii) will acquire from the Issuer 2,734,427 shares of common stock and warrants to acquire 2,050,821 shares of common stock at a second closing under the A&R Purchase Agreement to occur within 60 days of May 19, 2016.

Pursuant to the A&R Purchase Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to provide certain mandatory registration rights and piggyback registration rights to the Investors in respect of the Shares and the Warrant Shares customary for this type of private placement. Specifically, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or other registration statement, if the Issuer is not then eligible to use Form S-3) (the “Registration Statement”) within 60 days of execution of the A&R Purchase Agreement. The Issuer has agreed to keep the Registration Statement effective until all Shares have been sold by Investors or may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In addition, to the extent that the Registration Statement is not available, the Investors will have piggyback registration rights with respect to a registration statement that the Issuer proposes to file (subject to certain exceptions). The Issuer will pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration rights provided to Investors.

In addition the A&R Purchase Agreement provides that, for a period of two years, Investors also have the right to participate on a pro rata basis in subsequent offerings of the Issuer (subject to certain exceptions). The A&R Purchase Agreement also provides that, for a period of 90 days from the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Issuer is prohibited from issuing any Common Stock or securities convertible into common stock (subject to certain exceptions). In addition, the Issuer’s officers, directors and holders in excess of 5% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock have agreed to enter into a lock-up agreement in connection with the Offering, which generally prohibits them from selling securities of the Issuer for a period of 90 days from the date of the A&R Purchase Agreement.

Common Stock Warrants

The Warrants will be exercisable at an exercise price of $1.3125 per share of common stock, will become exercisable 90 days after the date of issuance, and may be exercised for five years. The exercise price and the number of Warrant Shares will be adjusted to account for the subdivision or combination by the Issuer of outstanding shares of Common Stock. The exercise price may at anytime also be voluntarily reduced at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Issuer. The Warrants may be exercised pursuant to a cashless exercise, but only if a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares that are the subject of an exercise notice is not available for the resale of such Warrant Shares.

The foregoing is subject to and qualified by the terms and conditions contained in the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement and the Warrant to Purchase Common Stock, copies of which are incorporated by reference to this Schedule 13D as Exhibit 8 and Exhibit 9, respectively.
