The information in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded, as the case may be, as follows:

The Business Combination

As previously disclosed, on April 15, 2021, the Issuer entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, Perseverance Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and Surrozen, Inc. (“Surrozen”).  The Business Combination (as defined below) pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement closed on August 11, 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, on the closing date: (i) the Issuer became a Delaware corporation (the "Domestication") and, in connection with the Domestication, (A) the Issuer's name changed to "Surrozen, Inc.", (B) each outstanding Class A Ordinary Share of the Issuer ("Class A Share") and each outstanding Class B Ordinary Share of the Issuer became one share of Common Stock, and (C) each outstanding warrant of the Issuer became one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock; and (ii) following the Domestication, Merger Sub merged with and into Surrozen, with Surrozen as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer (the "Merger"). The Domestication, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the "Business Combination".

Pursuant to the previously disclosed Sponsor Letter Agreement, effective as of the closing of the Business Combination, Consonance Life Sciences contributed an aggregate of 759,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of the Issuer back to the Issuer for no additional consideration.  The remaining 1,451,000 Class B Ordinary Shares held by Consonance Life Sciences became 1,451,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Business Combination.

At the closing of the Business Combination, Mitchell J. Blutt and Benny Soffer resigned from the Board of Directors of the Issuer and Kevin Livingston resigned as the Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer.

PIPE Financing

Pursuant to the previously disclosed Subscription Agreements (the "Subscription Agreements") entered into in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, Consonance Management on behalf of the Consonance Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, substantially concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, an aggregate of 2,497,500 units of the Issuer (“PIPE Units”), each consisting of one share of Common Stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (the "PIPE Warrants"), for a purchase price of $10.00 per PIPE Unit. Of the 2,497,500 PIPE Units that Consonance Management agreed to purchase, 1,248,750 PIPE Units were allocated to Master Account; 926,822 PIPE Units were allocated to Consonance Opportunity Master; and 321,928 PIPE Units were allocated to the Managed Account.  Each whole PIPE Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, and only whole PIPE Warrants will be exercisable.  The PIPE Warrants have substantially the same provisions as the warrants issued in connection with the Issuer's initial public offering. The transactions pursuant to the Subscription Agreement closed on August 11, 2021.

Investor Rights Agreement

At, and as a condition to, the closing of the Business Combination, the Issuer, Consonance Life Sciences, Consonance Management and certain other persons entered into an investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, certain stockholders agreed not to effect any sale or distribution of certain Issuer equity securities during the lock-up period as described therein, and were granted certain customary registration rights.  The PIPE Units that were issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements as described above were not included in the lock-up provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Investor Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Investor Rights Agreement, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Persons continuously assess the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic conditions, other developments and additional investment opportunities. Depending on such assessments, and subject to any restrictions described in this Schedule 13D, as amended, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer or new securities of the Issuer or may determine to purchase, sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of the Issuer’s securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons in the open market, as applicable, in privately negotiated transactions, in transactions directly with the Issuer or otherwise. Such actions will depend upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer, alternative investment opportunities, general economic, financial market and industry conditions and other factors that the Reporting Persons may deem material to their investment decision.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The information in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.

(a) and (b) Items 7 through 11 and 13 of each of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.  The percentages of shares of Common Stock reported to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are based on 35,027,475 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 11, 2021, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 17, 2021.

In addition to the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons reported herein, the Consonance Investors hold warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,165,832 shares of Common Stock and Consonance Life Sciences holds warrants to purchase 144,667 shares of Common Stock.  The warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock held by the Consonance Investors and Consonance Life Sciences are not currently exercisable within 60 days, so are not included in the beneficial ownership amounts reported herein.

Consonance Management is the investment adviser of the Consonance Investors, and pursuant to investment advisory agreements, Consonance Management exercises voting and investment power over the securities of the Issuer held by the Consonance Investors and thus may be deemed to beneficially own the securities of the Issuer held by the Consonance Investors.  Capman, as the general partner of Consonance Management, and Mitchell J. Blutt, as the manager and member of Capman, may be deemed to beneficially own the securities of the Issuer held by the Consonance Investors.

Consonance Life Sciences is governed by a board of managers consisting of Dr. Blutt, Benny Soffer and Kevin Livingston. As such, Dr. Blutt, Dr. Soffer and Kevin Livingston may be deemed to have voting and investment discretion over the securities held by Consonance Life Sciences and thus may be deemed to have shared beneficial ownership of such securities.

(c) The information in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.  Except as disclosed in this Schedule 13D, as amended, there have been no transactions in the shares of Common Stock by the Reporting Persons within the past 60 days.

(d) The disclosure in Item 2 and Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded, as the case may be, as follows:

The information in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.

The Investor Rights Agreement is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99.1 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of their knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.

Dated: August 18, 2021
