Also on October 27, 2017, the Company issued the Warrant to Co-Invest LP providing the right to purchase additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

The conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock and exercise price of the Warrant were lowered from $2.75 to $2.25 per share (or $13.90 per share as a result of the reverse stock split effected on June 10, 2020). Also on November 12, 2019, Acquisition 2 LP acquired all of the securities of the Company previously held by Acquisition LP and Acquisition LP ceased to own any equity interest in the Company.

In connection with the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering of its Common Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock and the Convertible Note converted, automatically and without any additional consideration, into 18,319,853 and 1,250,000 shares, respectively, of Common Stock.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities reported herein for investment purposes and intend to review their investments in the Company on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including but not limited to the Company’s financial position and strategic direction, price levels of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets, various laws and regulations applicable to the Company and companies in its industry and the Reporting Persons’ ownership in the Company, and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem appropriate, including changing their current intentions, with respect to any or all matters required to be disclosed herein. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to any applicable limitations described in Item 6 below under the caption “Lock-Up Agreement,” the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, acquire or cause affiliates to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (including any combination or derivative thereof), dispose, or cause affiliates to dispose, of some or all of their Common Stock or other securities of the Company or continue to hold, or cause affiliates to hold, Common Stock or other securities of the Company.

Except as set forth herein, or as would occur upon completion of any of the matters discussed herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plans, proposals or intentions which would result in or relate to any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Although the foregoing reflects activities presently contemplated by the Reporting Persons and each other individuals named in Item 2 with respect to the Company, the foregoing is subject to change at any time.

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

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)-(b) The information contained on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Persons beneficially own in the aggregate 23,303,346 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 49.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. All calculations of percentage ownership in this Schedule 13D are based on 45,163,795 shares outstanding after the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering of its Common Stock, as reported in the Company’s final prospectus filed with the SEC on June 22, 2020, plus the 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Convertible Note and the 400,160 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the Covered Persons directly owns any shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that because of each Covered Persons’ status as a director, executive officer, manager, member or partner of a Reporting Person, a Covered Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person. Except to the extent of their pecuniary interest, each of the Covered Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of the Common Stock reported herein and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any such Covered Person is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this statement.

In accordance with the SEC Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998) (the “Release”), this Schedule 13D reflects the securities beneficially owned by certain operating units (collectively, the “NB Alts Reporting Units”) of Neuberger Berman Group LLC and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “NBG”). This Schedule 13D does not reflect securities, if any, beneficially owned by any operating units of NBG whose ownership of securities is disaggregated from that of the NB Alts Reporting Units in accordance with the Release.


(c) Except as described in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons or, to their knowledge, none of the Covered Persons, has had any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d) Except as set forth herein, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any shares of Common Stock.

(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6.

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

Fourth Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement

On August 27, 2019, the Joint Funds, Co-Invest LP and Acquisition LP (the “Athyrium Parties”) entered into a fourth amended and restated investors’ rights agreement (the “Investors’ Rights Agreement”) with the Company and the other stockholders of the Company. The Investors’ Rights Agreement provides that the stockholders of the Company have certain registration rights described below. On November 12 2019, in connection with its acquisition of the securities of the Company previously held by Acquisition LP, Acquisition 2 LP signed a joinder agreement to the Investors’ Rights Agreement and became one of the Athyrium Parties discussed below.

The registration rights described below will expire (i) five years after the completion of the Company’s initial public offering, (ii) with respect to any Athyrium Party, at the time such Athyrium Party can sell all of its registrable securities under Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act without limitation during a three-month period without registration or (iii) upon termination of the Investors’ Rights Agreement.

The key registration rights under the Investors’ Rights Agreement are as follows:

 

   

Demand Registration Rights. At any time beginning 210 days after the effective date of the registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering, the holders of 50% or more of the registrable securities then outstanding may make a written request that the Company register all or a portion of their shares, subject to certain specified exceptions and conditions. The Company will then prepare and file a registration statement as requested, unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s board of directors, such registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders and filing should be deferred.

 

   

Piggyback Registration Rights. Subject to certain specified exceptions, if the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act either for its own account or for the account of other stockholders, the holders of shares having registration rights are entitled to written notice and certain “piggyback” registration rights allowing them to include their shares in the Company’s registration statement. These registration rights are subject to specified conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters, in their sole discretion, to limit the number of shares included in any such offering under certain circumstances, but not below 15% of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless all securities, other than the Company’s securities, are entirely excluded from the offering.


   

Form S-3 Registration Rights. At any time after the Company is qualified to file a registration statement on Form S-3, and subject to limitations and conditions, the holders of 50% or more of the registrable securities then outstanding are entitled to written notice of such registration and may make a written request that the Company prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act covering their shares. The Company will then prepare and file the Form S-3 registration statement as requested, unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s board of directors, such registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders and filing should be deferred.

Lock-Up Agreement

On June 19, 2020, Jeffrey A. Ferrell and each of the Funds entered into a lock-up agreement (“Lock-Up Agreement”) with Piper Sandler & Co. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering, whereby Mr. Ferrell and each of the Funds agreed with the underwriters that, for a period of 180 days following the date of the final prospectus used for the Company’s initial public offering, subject to certain exceptions, each of them will not, directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, sell any option or contract to purchase, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of shares of Common Stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock. Piper Sandler & Co. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC may, in their sole discretion, release all or any portion of the shares from these restrictions.

Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Warrant

On October 27, 2017, the Company issued a Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Warrant (as amended, modified, restated, refinanced, replaced or supplemented from time to time, the “Warrant”) to Co-Invest LP as registered holder. Following the initial public offering of the Company, the Warrant is exercisable into 400,160 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $13.90 per share, at any time on or prior to its expiration on October 27, 2022.

The foregoing summary of the Investors’ Rights Agreement, Lock-Up Agreement and Warrant is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of such agreements, copies of which are filed as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Reporting Persons have entered into an agreement with respect to the joint filing of this Schedule 13D, which agreement is set forth on the signature page to this Schedule 13D.

Except as described above and herein in this Schedule 13D, there are no other contracts, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the parties named in Item 2 hereto and between such persons and any person with respect to any of the common stock of the Company owned by the Funds.
