It is anticipated that funding for the cash consideration payable pursuant to the Letter of Intent will be obtained through Reporting Person’s existing resources including cash on hand.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 is hereby supplemented by adding the following paragraphs:
On August 29, 2022, the Reporting Person delivered a letter (the “Letter of Intent”) to Dr. Jun Pei, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, in which the Reporting Person proposed to, directly or via a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person, purchase convertible non-voting preferred securities (the “CPS”) convertible into the Issuer’s Common Stock for an aggregate subscription price of up to $100 million, where the conversion price of the CPS will be equal to (a) the lesser of (i) $1.50 and (ii) Issuer’s 5-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) for the period prior to the closing date plus (b) a certain premium, subject to further discussion between the Reporting Person and the Issuer (the “Potential Transaction”). The signing of the Potential Transaction in the Letter of Intent is subject to certain conditions, including in particular satisfactory completion of a due diligence review, negotiation and agreement of transaction structure and transaction documents and approval of the Potential Transaction by the boards of directors of both the Reporting Person and the Issuer. No assurance can be given that definitive transaction agreements with respect to the Letter of Intent will be entered into or whether the Potential Transaction will eventually be consummated.
The Potential Transaction could result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a)−(j) of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D, including the acquisition or disposition of additional securities of the Issuer, a change to the present board of directors of the Issuer and a change to the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer. The Reporting Person is expected to take actions in furtherance of the Letter of Intent or any amendment thereof.
The Reporting Person may at any time, or from time to time, amend, pursue, or choose not to pursue the Potential Transaction; change the terms of the Potential Transaction contemplated by the Letter of Intent, including the price, conditions, or scope of the Potential Transaction; take any action in or out of the ordinary course of business to facilitate or increase the likelihood of consummation of the Potential Transaction; otherwise seek control or seek to influence the management and policies of the Issuer; or change their intentions with respect to any such matters.
