(the “Share Exchange”), as reported in the Issuer’s amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 27, 2023 (the “Transaction 8-K”). |
In addition to the shares of Common Stock reported herein, Altos Venture AG (along with the other Proteomedix shareholders) received in the Share Exchange shares of the Issuer’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”), which are non-voting (subject to limited exceptions) and are convertible, subject to approval by the Issuer’s stockholders, into additional shares of Common Stock. Shares of Series B Preferred are not “equity securities” as defined in SEC Rule 13d-1 under the Act. Concurrently with the closing of the Share Exchange, Altos Venture AG also entered into a Subscription Agreement with the Issuer providing for the purchase by Altos Venture AG from the Issuer of $5.0 million of units consisting of additional shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock. The closing of the unit purchase is contingent upon approval by the Issuer’s stockholders of the conversion of the Series B Preferred into Common Stock. The Share Exchange and certain agreements entered into in connection with it, including the Subscription Agreement with Altos Venture AG, are more fully described in the Transaction 8-K, and such agreements are filed as exhibits to the Transaction 8-K.
