Item 1 Comment:
This Amendment No. 10 (this "Amendment No. 10" or this "Schedule 13D/A") amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 9, 2018, and amended on July 30, 2019, December 16, 2020, March 23, 2021, September 6, 2022, October 4, 2022, December 5, 2022, January 11, 2024, June 12, 2024 and February 21, 2025 (as amended, the "Statement") by the Reporting Persons. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 10 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Statement. Unless amended or supplemented below, the information in the Statement remains unchanged. |
| Item 2. | Identity and Background |
|
| (a) | This Schedule 13D/A is being filed on behalf of RA Capital Management, L.P. ("RA Capital"), Peter Kolchinsky, Rajeev Shah, and RA Capital Healthcare Fund, L.P. (the "Fund"). RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, Mr. Shah and the Fund are collectively referred to herein as the "Reporting Persons." The agreement among the Reporting Persons to file this Schedule 13D/A jointly in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Act") is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The Reporting Persons' beneficial ownership of the Issuer's common stock consists of (i) 5,673,193 shares of Common Stock directly held by the Fund; (ii) 109,661 shares of common stock directly held by the RA Capital Nexus Fund, L.P. (the "Nexus Fund"); (iii) 28,569 shares of common stock directly held by a separately managed account (the "Account"); and (iv) pre-funded warrants ("Pre-Funded Warrants") exercisable for up to 3,722,085 shares of common stock directly held by the Fund. The Pre-Funded Warrants contain a provision (the "Beneficial Ownership Blocker"), which precludes the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that, following exercise, the Fund, together with its affiliates and other attribution parties, would own more than 9.99% of the common stock outstanding. The Fund is currently prohibited from exercising the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership of more than 7,997,510 shares of common stock.
RA Capital Healthcare Fund GP, LLC is the general partner of the Fund and RA Capital Nexus Fund GP, LLC is the general partner of the Nexus Fund. The general partner of RA Capital is RA Capital Management GP, LLC, of which Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah are the controlling persons. RA Capital serves as investment adviser for each of the Fund, the Nexus Fund and the Account and may be deemed a beneficial owner, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, of any securities of the Issuer held by the Fund, the Nexus Fund or the Account. Each of the Fund and the Nexus Fund has delegated to RA Capital the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of all securities held in its portfolio, including the shares of the Issuer's common stock reported herein. Because each of the Fund and the Nexus Fund has divested itself of voting and investment power over the reported securities it holds and may not revoke that delegation on less than 61 days' notice, each of the Fund and the Nexus Fund disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities it holds for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act and therefore disclaims any obligation to report ownership of the reported securities under Section 13(d) of the Act. As managers of RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah may be deemed beneficial owners, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, of any securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by RA Capital. RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, and Mr. Shah disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities reported in this Schedule 13D/A other than for the purpose of determining their obligations under Section 13(d) of the Act, and the filing of this Schedule 13D/A shall not be deemed an admission that either RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, or Mr. Shah is the beneficial owner of such securities for any other purpose. |
| (b) | The address of the principal business office of each of the Reporting Persons is 200 Berkeley Street, 18th Floor, Boston, MA 02116. |
| (c) | The Fund is a private investment vehicle. RA Capital provides investment management services to the Fund, the Nexus Fund and the Account. The principal occupation of each of Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah is investment management. |
| (d) | During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). |
| (e) | During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree of final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. |
| (f) | See Item 6 of the cover pages. |
