Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction | |
The Reporting Persons from time to time intend to review their investment in the Issuer on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer's Shares in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities. Based upon such review, the Reporting Persons will take such actions in the future as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time. If the Reporting Persons believe that further investment in the Issuer is attractive, whether because of the market price of Shares or otherwise, they may acquire Shares or other securities of the Issuer either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Similarly, depending on market and other factors, the Reporting Persons may determine to dispose of some or all of the Shares currently owned by the Reporting Persons or otherwise acquired by the Reporting Persons either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.
Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have not formulated any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, (b) 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 the 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 Issuer's capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure, (g) any change in the Issuer's charter or bylaws or other instrument corresponding thereto or other action which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (h) causing a class of the Issuer's securities to be deregistered or delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above. | ||
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer | |

OrbiMed Advisors exercises this investment and voting power through a management committee comprised of Carl L. Gordon, Sven H. Borho, and W. Carter Neild, each of whom disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares held by OPI VII. | |

In addition, OPI VII, the Worldwide Healthcare Trust PLC, and certain other stockholders of the Issuer entered into an amended and restated investors' rights agreement with the Issuer (the "Investors' Rights Agreement"), dated as of August 21, 2019. Pursuant to the Investors' Rights Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions therein, the parties agreed that:
Registration Rights
Following the closing of the Issuer's initial public offering (the "IPO"), the holders of a certain number of Shares, or their transferees, will be entitled to the registration rights set forth below with respect to registration of the resale of such Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") pursuant to the Investors' Rights Agreement.
Demand Registration Rights
At any time beginning six months following the date of the underwriting agreement of the IPO, the holders of at least thirty percent (30%) of the registrable securities then outstanding of the Issuer may make a written request that the Issuer register at least thirty percent (30%) of the registrable securities then outstanding, subject to certain specified conditions and exceptions. The Issuer is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and will pay all registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, related to any demand registration. The Issuer is not obligated to effect more than two of these registrations.
Piggyback Registration Rights
Whenever the Issuer proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act, including a registration statement on Form S-3 as discussed below, other than with respect to certain excluded registrations, the Reporting Persons will be entitled to notice of the registration and have the right, subject to limitations that the underwriters may impose on the number of Shares included in the registration, to include Shares held by the Reporting Persons in the registration.
Form S-3 Registration Rights
At any time after the Issuer is qualified to file a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, and subject to limitations and conditions specified in the Investors' Rights Agreement, holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Investors' Rights Agreement) then outstanding may make a written request that the Issuer prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-3 covering their Shares, so long as the aggregate price to the public equals or exceeds $3,000,000. The Issuer is not obligated to effect more than two of these Form S-3 registrations in any 12-month period.
