Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 6 hereby amends the Schedule 13D first filed by John K. Scott, Jr., a natural person (the “Reporting Person”), on June 24, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on December 12, 2019, Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on February 26, 2020, Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed on September 2, 2020, Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed on December 29, 2020 and Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D filed on March 5, 2021 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”). The securities to which the Schedule 13D relates are the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Except as otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Schedule 13D remains unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined in this Amendment No. 6 shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

The Reporting Person has scheduled a conference call with Jed A. Latkin, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer, and may engage in subsequent communications, to discuss matters relating to the Reporting Person’s investment in the Issuer and the Reporting Person’s views with respect to, among other things, the business, financial condition, corporate governance practices, board composition, ongoing litigation, operations and future plans of the Issuer. The matters discussed during the conference call may include topics relating to actions or transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

The Reporting Person may seek to influence the Issuer regarding courses of action that the Reporting Person may believe are in the Issuer’s best interest. The Reporting Person continues to evaluate his investment in the Issuer and, while he has no present plan or proposal to do so, he reserves the right and is considering whether to propose other transactions that relate to or would result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

The Reporting Person retains the right to, from time to time, acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, or sell or otherwise dispose of (or enter into plans or arrangements to sell or otherwise dispose of), all or part of the shares of Common Stock, Series E Preferred Stock or other securities of the Issuer, if any, beneficially owned by him, in any manner permitted by law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Reporting Person may from time to time sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock in order to allow the Reporting Person to convert shares of Series E Preferred Stock to remain under the Share Cap.
