    This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 18, 2022 (together with the exhibits thereto and as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule 14D-9”) by BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Schedule 14D-9 relates to the cash tender offer by Bristol Acquisition Company Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Collegium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Collegium” or “Parent”), to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”) at a price per Share equal to $5.60, in cash, subject to any applicable withholding taxes and without interest. The terms of the tender offer are disclosed in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Collegium and Purchaser with the SEC on February 18, 2022, and is made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated February 18, 2022, and in the related Letter of Transmittal, which were filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) to the Schedule 14D-9, respectively.

     

    Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 14D-9. The information in the Schedule 14D-9 is incorporated into this Amendment by reference to all applicable items in the Schedule 14D-9, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.

     

    Item 8.Additional Information.

     

    1.Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following new subsection before the final subsection entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” at the end of such Item 8:

     

    “Final Results of the Offer and Completion of the Merger.

     

    The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, Eastern time, at the end of March 18, 2022 (i.e., one minute following 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on March 18, 2022). American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, in its capacity as depositary and paying agent for the Offer (the “Depositary”), advised that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 74,780,700 Shares (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received”, as defined by Section 251(h)(6)(f) of the DGCL by the “depository” (as such term is defined in Section 251(h)(6)(c) of the DGCL)) were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 72.44% of the Shares outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer. In addition, the Depositary has advised that notices of guaranteed delivery have been delivered with respect to 5,548,893 Shares that have not yet been tendered, representing approximately 5.37% of the outstanding Shares.

     

    As of the expiration of the Offer, the number of Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer satisfied the Minimum Condition, as defined in the Offer to Purchase. Promptly after the expiration of the Offer, Purchaser irrevocably accepted for payment, and expects to promptly pay for, all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

     

    As a result of its acceptance of the Shares tendered in the Offer, Purchaser acquired sufficient Shares to effect the Merger without the affirmative vote of the Company’s stockholders. Accordingly, Collegium and Purchaser expect to consummate the Merger on March 22, 2022 pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (1) Shares held by the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries (including Shares held in treasury), (2) Shares held by Collegium, Purchaser or any of Collegium’s other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, (3) Shares validly tendered and irrevocably accepted for payment by Purchaser in the Offer and (4) Shares held by stockholders who have properly exercised their demands for appraisal of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and have neither withdrawn nor lost such rights prior to the Effective Time) will be converted into the right to receive $5.60 in cash, without interest and subject to any required tax withholding.

     

    Following the consummation of the Merger, the Shares will be delisted and will cease to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Collegium and Purchaser intend to take steps to cause the termination of the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act and suspend all of the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable.
