Item 4.Ownership

 

(a)Amount beneficially owned:

 

As of the close of business on December 4, 2023, the Reporting Persons held an aggregate of 12,217 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock”), which are convertible into an aggregate of 19,392,061 Shares, subject to the Maximum Percentage (as defined below).

 

As of the close of business on December 4, 2023, the Reporting Persons held an aggregate of 12,000 tranche B warrants (the “Tranche B Warrants”) to purchase shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Series A-3 Preferred Stock”, and together with the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which are, in turn, convertible into an aggregate of 19,047,618 Shares, subject to the Maximum Percentage. The Tranche B Warrants are exercisable at any time beginning on November 23, 2023 at an exercise price of $1,000 per share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock and expire on the later of (i) 15 Trading Days (as defined in the Tranche B Warrant) following the later of (x) the date of the Issuer’s public announcement of data from its SAB-142-101 clinical trial “Phase I Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Single Ascending Dose Adaptive Design Study Assessing the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Intravenous SAB-142” and (y) the Issuer notifying the holder in writing that the public announcement referenced in clause (x) has occurred, and (ii) March 31, 2025.

 

As of the close of business on December 4, 2023, the Reporting Persons held an aggregate of 30,000 tranche C warrants (the “Tranche C Warrants”, and together with the Tranche B Warrants, the “Preferred Warrants”) to purchase shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock, which are, in turn, convertible into an aggregate of 47,619,046 Shares, subject to the Maximum Percentage. The Tranche C Warrants are exercisable at any time beginning on November 23, 2023 at an exercise price of $1,000 per share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock and expire on the five year anniversary of November 23, 2023.

 

The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into Shares at the conversion price of $0.630 per Share (the “Series A Conversion Price”), rounded down to the nearest whole Share, by converting into the number of Shares equal to the quotient of (A) $1,000 per share divided by (B) the Series A Conversion Price. A holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have the right to convert any portion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be automatically converted, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, such holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (together with such holder’s Affiliates (as defined in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitation of Series A Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (the “Series A COD”)), any other Persons (as defined in the Series A COD) acting as a group together, and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Shares would be aggregated with the holder’s and the other Attribution Parties (as defined in the Series A COD) for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Maximum Percentage”). As of the close of business on December 4, 2023, none of the shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock held by the Reporting Persons were convertible into Shares due to the Maximum Percentage. As of the close of business on December 4, 2023, assuming all of the Preferred Warrants held in the aggregate by the Reporting Persons were exercised for shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock, as applicable, none of such shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock would be convertible into Shares due to the Maximum Percentage.
