Statement on Schedule 13D

 

This Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) amends and restates the Statement on Schedule 13D initially filed on November 18, 2019 and amended on April 7, 2020, June 9, 2020 and February 11, 2022 (as amended, the “Original Schedule 13D”), and relates to the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership of shares of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Venus Concept, Inc. (the “Issuer”). Only those items that are hereby reported are amended; all other items reported in the Original Schedule 13D remain unchanged. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable. Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment No. 4 have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 4 is being filed to update the aggregate percentage of the class of securities of the Issuer owned by the Reporting Persons.

 

ITEM 4.PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

 

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following new paragraphs:

 

On November 18, 2022, the Issuer entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors, including HealthQuest II, pursuant to which, on November 18, 2022, the Issuer issued and sold to HealthQuest II an aggregate of 335,000 shares of Voting Preferred Stock (the “2022 Private Placement”). The Voting Preferred Stock will convert into shares of Common Stock on a one for ten basis (i) at the option of an Investor upon delivery of a valid conversion notice to the Issuer or (ii) automatically upon the occurrence of certain events. The Voting Preferred Stock votes with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis.

 

In connection with the 2022 Private Placement, the Issuer amended the Registration Rights Agreement (as amended, the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”) to, among other things, include shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Voting Preferred Stock to be treated as “Registrable Securities” thereunder.

 

References to and the descriptions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and A&R Registration Rights Agreement set forth above are not intended to be complete and are qualified, respectively, in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement and A&R Registration Rights, which are filed as exhibits hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

ITEM 5.INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

 

(a,b) Regarding aggregate beneficial ownership, see Row 11 of the cover page of each Reporting Person. The number of shares listed in Row 11 for each Reporting Person includes the 1,566,666 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable upon the exercise of the warrants held by the Reporting Persons and 3,350,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 335,000 shares of Voting Preferred Stock held by the Reporting Persons. Regarding percentage beneficial ownership, see Row 13 of the cover page of each Reporting Person. Regarding sole power to vote shares, see Row 7 of the cover page of each Reporting Person. Regarding shared power to vote shares, see Row 8 of the cover page of each Reporting Person. Regarding sole power to dispose of shares, see Row 9 of the cover page of each Reporting Person. Regarding shared power to dispose of shares, see Row 10 of the cover page of each Reporting Person. The percentage listed in Row 13 for each Reporting Person was calculated based upon 67,584,573 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding as of November 8, 2022, as reported on the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on November 10, 2022, plus 1,750,000 additional shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock issued by the Issuer on November 18, 2022, as reported on the Issuer’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on November 18, 2022, plus 1,566,666 shares of Common Stock underlying the Issuer’s warrants held by the Reporting Persons as of November 18, 2022 and 3,350,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 335,000 shares of Voting Preferred Stock held by the Reporting Persons as of November 18, 2022, which are treated as converted into Common Stock only for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the Reporting Person.
