This Amendment No. 7 (“Amendment No. 7”) to Schedule 13D amends the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on October 30, 2017, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on August 28, 2018, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on July 18, 2019, Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on September 8, 2022, Amendment No. 4 thereto filed on September 15, 2022, Amendment No. 5 thereto filed on January 9, 2023 and Amendment No. 6 thereto filed on March 17, 2023 (collectively and as amended, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the Common Stock. This Amendment No. 7 is being filed by Foris Ventures, LLC, Vallejo Ventures Trust, L. John Doerr, Ann Doerr, and Barbara Hager (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

The Items below amend the information disclosed under the corresponding Items of the Schedule 13D as described below. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 7 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented by the following:

Amendment No. 6 to this Schedule 13D filed on March 17, 2023, stated that L. John Doerr had sole voting power and sole dispositive power of 121,219 shares of Common Stock and beneficial ownership of 123,895,013 shares of Common Stock. These amounts incorrectly included 80,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the vesting of a restricted stock unit grant made by the Company to Mr. Doerr on August 22, 2022, which is expected to vest in full on August 22, 2023, and excluded 8,292 shares of common stock issuable upon the vesting of a restricted stock unit grant made by the Company to Mr. Doerr on January 20, 2023 which vested in full on March 31, 2023. This Amendment No. 7 corrects these items.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented by the following:

Forbearance Agreement and Amendment to 2019 LSA, 2022 LSA and Perrara LSA

On May 9, 2023, the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into forbearance agreements (each a “Forbearance Agreement”) with each of FV and Perrara (the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to forbear from exercising certain of their respective rights and remedies related to certain payment defaults under the following agreements during the forbearance period: (i) the 2019 LSA (ii) the 2022 LSA, and (iii) the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Perrara LSA”), dated March 10, 2023 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, and Perrara.

The forbearance period begins on May 9, 2023 and ends on June 23, 2023, subject to certain limited conditions, the occurrence of which would cause the forbearance period to end prior to June 23, 2023.

In exchange for each of the Lenders entering into a Forbearance Agreement, the Company agreed to certain conditions and covenants. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the 2019 LSA, 2022 LSA and the Perrara LSA, default interest (“Default Interest”) accrues during an event of default. The Default Interest rate (i) equals 6.0% per annum under the 2019 LSA and 1.0% per annum under the 2022 LSA and the Perrara LSA and (ii) applies retroactively to the Company’s outstanding indebtedness under such agreements from and after March 24, 2023.

Charging Default Interest increases the amount of unpaid interest under the 2019 LSA and thus increases the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the 2019 LSA.

Among other things, the Forbearance Agreements restrict the Company from: (i) repaying any principal amount owing to DSM Finance B.V. under its loan agreement with the Company, (ii) incurring indebtedness other than certain permitted indebtedness under the 2019 LSA, 2022 LSA and Perrara LSA, and (iii) making investments or acquisitions subject to limited exceptions permitted under the 2019 LSA, 2022 LSA and Perrara LSA.

In addition, the Forbearance Agreements provide certain rights to request reasonable financial, operating and property related data and other information from the Company as well as information from any financial advisors to the Company relating its affairs, finances and businesses. In addition, the Company agreed to provide the lenders with certain cash flow projections on a weekly basis.

The Forbearance Agreements were entered into by the Company and the Lenders to provide additional time for the parties to negotiate and document a resolution between the parties with respect to the certain payment defaults by the Company under the 2019 LSA, the 2022 LSA and the Perrara LSA. If no agreement is reached between the parties, the Lenders will be entitled to exercise any and all of their respective rights and remedies related to such defaults.

Except as set forth above, all other terms, conditions and rights of the 2019 LSA, 2022 LSA, and Perrara LSA and the related transaction documents remain in full force and effect, which were described in the Company’s prior disclosures.

General

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule for investment purposes and they intend to review their investments in the Company on a continuing basis. In addition, the Reporting Persons intend to participate in the management of the Company through representation on the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). L.

Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons currently has any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

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