EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 4 (the “Amendment No. 4”) to Schedule 13D relating to the Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Novan, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Novan” or the “Issuer”), is filed to amend certain Items of the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 22, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on March 13, 2020, Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on April 2, 2020, and Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on June 18, 2020 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”) on behalf of each of (i) Reedy Creek Investments LLC (“Reedy Creek”), (ii) Donald R. Parker, (iii) James H. Goodnight Management Trust (the “Trust”), and (iv) James H. Goodnight (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).  Except as set forth in this Amendment No. 4, all Items in the Schedule 13D are unchanged.

Item 4.                          Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

On October 30, 2020, the Issuer filed a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”) with the Commission reporting that, as of October 26, 2020, 141,513,791 shares of its Common Stock were outstanding. This number of outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock reflected an increase since the Reporting Persons filed Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D, resulting in a decrease to the percent of outstanding Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

Item 5.                          Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Percentages are calculated based on 141,513,791 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 26, 2020, as reported in the Form 10-Q.

(a) & (b) Amount and Nature of Beneficial Ownership Reported.

As of the date hereof, Reedy Creek may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 7,894,736 shares of Common Stock, for which Reedy Creek shares voting and dispositive power, consisting of 3,947,368 shares of Common Stock held directly and Warrants to acquire 3,947,368 shares of Common Stock held directly, which represents approximately 5.4% of the shares of Common Stock.

Reedy Creek owns 11.38% of Malin Corp plc, which in turn owns 100% of Malin Life Sciences Holdings Limited (“MLSHL”), which beneficially owns 2,598,485 shares of Common Stock, as reported in a Form 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, 2019. Reedy Creek disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock held by MLSHL.

As of the date hereof, Donald R. Parker may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 7,902,936 shares of Common Stock, consisting of 5,000 shares of Common Stock held directly, for which Mr. Parker has sole voting and dispositive power; 3,200 shares of Common Stock held by certain minor custodial accounts for which Mr. Parker is the sole custodian, for which Mr. Parker has sole voting and dispositive power; and 3,947,368 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to acquire 3,947,368 shares of Common Stock held by Reedy Creek, for which Mr. Parker shares voting and dispositive power, which collectively represents approximately 5.4% of the shares of Common Stock.

As of the date hereof, the Trust may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 4,858,298 shares of Common Stock, for which the Trust shares voting and dispositive power, consisting of 2,429,149 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to acquire 2,429,149 shares of Common Stock held by Reedy Creek, which represents approximately 3.4% of the shares of Common Stock.

As of the date hereof, James H. Goodnight may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 4,858,298 shares of Common Stock, for which Dr. Goodnight shares voting and dispositive power, consisting of 2,429,149 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to acquire 2,429,149
shares of Common Stock held by Reedy Creek, which represents approximately 3.4% of the shares of Common Stock.

(c)            Recent Transactions.

The Reporting Persons have not effected any transaction in the shares of Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d)            Certain Rights to Receive Dividends or Direct Sale Proceeds.

Except as set forth in the Schedule 13D, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock covered by the Schedule 13D.

(e)            Ownership of Five Percent or Less of Class.

Not applicable.
