The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is The MediaWorks, 191 Wood Lane, London W12 7FP, United Kingdom.

     

    Item 2.

    Identity and Background

    (a) This Schedule 13D is being filed by BioNTech SE, a Societas Europaea organized and existing under the laws of Germany (“BioNTech” or the “Reporting Person”).

    (b) The principal business address of the Reporting Person is An der Goldgrube 12, D-55131 Mainz, Germany.

    (c) BioNTech is a biopharmaceutical company pioneering novel therapies for cancer and other serious diseases.

    The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each member of the Management Board and each member of the Supervisory Board of the Reporting Person are set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.

    (d) – (e) During the last five years, neither the Reporting Person nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Person, any person named in Schedule I has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) 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 or 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) The jurisdiction of organization of the Reporting Person is set forth in subsection (a) above. The citizenship of each of the individuals referred to in Schedule I is set forth on Schedule I.

     

    Item 3.

    Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

    The information in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference. The total consideration for the Initial Purchase (as defined below) was obtained from the available cash resources of BioNTech.

     

    Item 4.

    Purpose of Transaction

    On February 6, 2024, BioNTech and the Issuer entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), a Registration Rights Agreement and a Letter Agreement (together, the “Equity Agreements”) pursuant to which BioNTech purchased 33,333,333 ADSs of the Issuer (the “Initial Purchase”) at a purchase price of $6.00 per ADS on February 13, 2024. The total consideration for the Initial Purchase was $200,000,000. Under the Purchase Agreement, BioNTech also agreed to purchase additional ADSs with an aggregate purchase price of $20,000,000, up to a maximum of 15,000,000 ADSs (the “Subsequent Purchase”) from the Issuer in the event that BioNTech and the Issuer enter into a Manufacturing and Commercial Agreement within 18 months of the closing of the Initial Purchase (the “Initial Closing”). The Registration Rights Agreement provides for customary registration rights for the ADSs acquired or to be acquired by BioNTech at the Initial Purchase and Subsequent Purchase. The Letter Agreement includes customary standstill and lock-up provisions and provides BioNTech with the right to designate one individual to be appointed to the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Issuer’s Board”) and, upon BioNTech’s acquiring 30% of the Issuer’s then-issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares in the form of ADSs), the right to designate a second individual to be appointed to the Issuer’s Board, for a period of five years from the date of the Letter Agreement. BioNTech currently intends to appoint an individual to the Issuer’s Board under its designation right, and may appoint a second individual upon reaching the 30% ownership threshold, each of whom, in such capacity, may have influence over the corporate activities of the Issuer, including activities which may relate to items described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of


    Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Letter Agreement also provides for certain preemptive rights for BioNTech, including (i) the right to purchase up to its pro rata share of all newly issued equity securities (“New Securities”) of the Issuer that the Issuer may sell as part of a bona fide financing transaction for capital raising purposes for a period of three years from the date of the Letter Agreement, at a price per Ordinary Share or ADS no greater than the price per such New Securities in such bona fide financing transaction (a “Financing Transaction”), (ii) for a period of six months following the date of the Initial Closing, in the event of an issuance and sale by the Issuer in a Financing Transaction of New Securities at a price per Ordinary Share or ADS less than $6.00, the right to purchase up to 20% of such New Securities at the same price per such New Securities as other investors in the Financing Transaction, and (iii) in the event of an issuance and sale by the Issuer in a Financing Transaction of New Securities, the right to purchase up to the number of such New Securities necessary for BioNTech to hold a number of Ordinary Shares and ADSs equal to the Catch-up Share (as defined below) at the same price per such New Security as other investors in the Financing Transaction. The Catch-up Share is that number of New Securities which if acquired in full by BioNTech would mean BioNTech holds in aggregate 15% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding following completion of both (a) the issuance and sale of the New Securities in such Financing Transaction and (b) the issuance and sale of the ADSs at the Initial Closing.

    The acquisition by the Reporting Person of the Issuer’s securities as described herein was effected in connection with the entry into a License and Option Agreement with affiliates of the Issuer and the Equity Agreements, and because of the belief that the securities of the Issuer represent an attractive investment. The foregoing description of the Equity Agreements is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements. The Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Registration Rights Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Letter Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and is incorporated herein by reference.

    The Reporting Person intends to review from time to time its investment in the Issuer and the Issuer’s business affairs, financial position, performance and other investments considerations. Subject to the terms and conditions of the agreements described above to which the Reporting Person is a party, the Reporting Person or its affiliates may seek to acquire securities of the Issuer, including ADSs, Ordinary Shares and/or other equity, debt, notes or other financial instruments related to the Issuer or the ADSs (which may include rights or securities exercisable or convertible into securities of the Issuer), or sell or otherwise dispose of some or all of such securities or financial instruments from time to time, in each case, in open market or private transactions, block sales or otherwise. Any transaction that the Reporting Person or its affiliates may pursue, subject to the terms and conditions of the documents described above to which the Reporting Person is a party, may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the price and availability of the Issuer’s securities or other financial instruments, the Reporting Person’s or such affiliates’ trading and investment strategies, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer’s business and the Issuer’s prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Person and its affiliates, general industry and economic conditions, the securities markets in general, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant by such Reporting Persons and such affiliates.

    The Reporting Person may from time to time engage in discussions with the Issuer, its directors and officers, other stockholders of the Issuer and other persons on matters that relate to the management, operations, business, assets, capitalization, financial condition, strategic plans, governance and the future of the Issuer and/or its subsidiaries. Based upon such review and discussions, as well as general economic, market and industry conditions and prospects and the Reporting Person’s liquidity requirements and investment considerations, and subject to the limitations in the agreements described above, the Reporting Person may consider additional courses of action. Except as otherwise described herein, the Reporting Person currently has no plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the events or transactions described in Item 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D, although the Reporting Person reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to review or reconsider such position, change such purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
