Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
   
  See Item 4.

 

Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
   
  On July 31, 2017, the Issuer completed the acquisition of Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Napo") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 31, 2017, by and among the Issuer, Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Napo Acquisition Corporation ("Merger Sub"), and Napo's representative (the "Merger Agreement").
   
  In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Napo, with Napo surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the "Merger").
   

  On March 31, 2017, Napo entered into a Settlement and Discounted Payoff Agreement with Nantucket and the lenders named therein (the "Settlement Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, Napo agreed, simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger, (a) to make a cash payment to Nantucket of no less than $8 million, which reduced the outstanding principal obligations under the Financing Agreement, dated October 10, 2014, by and between Napo and Nantucket (the "Financing Agreement"), and (b) in satisfaction as a compromise for the outstanding obligations under the Financing Agreement and the release of any lien or security interest in respect of such outstanding obligations, (x) to transfer to Nantucket 2,666,666 Shares (the "Initial Tranche C Shares") owned by Napo and (y) pursuant to the Merger Agreement, to cause the Issuer to issue to Nantucket (i) 2,217,579 Shares (the "Remaining Tranche C Shares" and, together with the Initial Tranche C Shares, the "Tranche C Shares"), (ii) 18,479,826 shares of the Issuer's non-voting common stock (the "Non-Voting Shares",  and such shares, the "Tranche A Shares") and (iii) 19,700,625 Non-Voting Shares (the "Tranche B Shares"), all of which shares are subject to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined and described below).

 

CUSIP No. 47010C201SCHEDULE 13DPage 6 of 11 Pages

  The Non-Voting Shares are convertible into Shares on a one-for-one basis (i) at the option of the respective holders thereof, without any payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time on or after April 1, 2018 or (ii) automatically, without any payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, (x) upon a transfer of such shares pursuant to a sale of such stock to a third-party for cash in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement to any person or entity that is neither an affiliate of Nantucket nor an investment fund, investment vehicle or other account, that is, directly or indirectly, managed or advised by Nantucket or any of its affiliates or (y) upon the release or transfer of such shares to the registered holders of Napo's outstanding Shares immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger.
   
  In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Settlement Agreement, Nantucket and the Issuer entered into an Investor Rights Agreement, dated March 31, 2017 (the "Investor Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, the Issuer agreed to pay Nantucket's expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Investor Rights Agreement, Settlement Agreement and Merger Agreement, which, pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Issuer elected to pay by issuing 270,270 additional Non-Voting Shares (the "Expense Reimbursement Shares") to Nantucket. The Issuer also agreed to register in one or more registration statements the resale of the Tranche C Shares and the Shares issuable upon conversion of the Expense Reimbursement Shares, the Tranche A Shares and, to the extent certain conditions are met, the Tranche B Shares. The Investor Rights Agreement also restricts the Issuer from paying any dividends on any shares of its capital stock or redeeming any shares, except in limited circumstances, without the prior written consent of Nantucket.
   
  The Investor Rights Agreement also imposes certain restrictions on the transfer and sale of the Shares and Non-Voting Shares issued to Nantucket in connection with the Settlement Agreement, including (but not limited to) the following: (a) the Tranche B Shares are to be held in escrow and will be released to either Nantucket or the former Napo stockholders, depending on whether the resale of the Tranche A Shares to third parties provides Nantucket with cash returns at or exceeding a specified amount over a specified period of time (the "Hurdle Amounts"); (b) until the earlier of (i) April 1, 2020 and (ii) the date on which the applicable Hurdle Amount is achieved, in the event that any potential purchaser approaches Nantucket to acquire some or all of the Tranche A Shares, Nantucket agrees to promptly sell some or all of its Tranche A Shares as requested by such party, provided all such sales are above a certain minimum share price for the relevant time period specified in the Investor Rights Agreement; and (c) if the applicable Hurdle Amount is achieved before all of the Tranche A Shares are sold, Nantucket is required to surrender 50% of the unsold Tranche A Shares to the Issuer, which will be exchanged for Shares and distributed by the Issuer pro rata among holders of certain contingent rights that were issued in connection with the Merger and holders of Napo restricted stock units.

  Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  Depending on the price levels of the Shares and various other factors described below, the Reporting Persons may sell some or all of their Shares.  The Reporting Persons intend to review the investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis.  Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the board of directors of the Issuer, price levels of the Shares, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing additional Shares or selling some or all of their Shares, and/or otherwise changing its intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
