This Amendment No. 8 hereby amends and supplements the statement of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D, relating to the common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the
Issuer Common
Stock
), of Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
Issuer
or
Lexicon
), initially filed on June 27, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on August 24,
2007, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on August 29, 2007, Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on October 8, 2009, Amendment No. 4 thereto filed on October 15, 2009, Amendment No. 5 thereto filed on March 15, 2010,
Amendment No. 6 thereto filed on August 15, 2011 and Amendment No. 7 thereto filed on November 14, 2011 (as so amended, the
Statement
). All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning
assigned to them in the Statement.
Item 3.
|
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
|
Item 3 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after the last paragraph thereof:
On December 22, 2011, Invus, L.P. acquired 113,382,063 shares of Issuer Common Stock for an aggregate amount of $128,121,731.19, and
Invus Public Equities, L.P. acquired 1,662,184 shares of Issuer Common Stock for an aggregate amount of $1,878,267.92, each at a purchase price of $1.13 per share, pursuant to the exercise of the subscription rights issued to the Invus Parties in
the 2011 Rights Offering. For the payment of the purchase price for such additional shares of Issuer Common Stock, Invus, L.P. and Invus Public Equities, L.P. used funds obtained from capital calls to their respective limited partners in respect of
previously made commitments.
Item 4.
|
Purpose of Transaction
|
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by replacing the last paragraph thereof with the following new paragraphs:
On November 22, 2011, the Issuer commenced the 2011 Rights Offering pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-171953) and filed a prospectus supplement related
thereto with the SEC.
On December 15, 2011, the waiting period related to the notification and report form filed by the
parties under the HSR Act expired. As a result, the Invus Parties became permitted to increase their ownership percentage of Issuer Common Stock to greater than 50% of the outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock.
On December 22, 2011, the 2011 Rights Offering expired. On December 27, 2011, Lexicon completed the 2011 Rights Offering. The
aggregate gross proceeds to Lexicon from the 2011 Rights Offering were approximately $161.0 million.
On December 22,
2011, Invus, L.P. acquired 113,382,063 shares of Issuer Common Stock for an aggregate amount of $128,121,731.19, and Invus Public Equities, L.P. acquired 1,662,184 shares of Issuer Common Stock for an aggregate amount of $1,878,267.92, each at a
purchase price of $1.13 per share, pursuant to the exercise of the subscription rights issued to the Invus Parties in the 2011 Rights Offering. Of these shares of Issuer Common Stock, 70,531,075 shares were acquired pursuant to the Invus
Parties basic subscription privilege, which was exercised in full pursuant to Section 3.02(b) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, and 44,513,172 shares were acquired pursuant to the Invus Parties over-subscription privilege.
Page 10 of 13 Pages
As a result of the 2011 Rights Offering, Invus, L.P.s ownership percentage of Issuer Common Stock has increased to approximately 52.1% of the outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock. Since Invus,
L.P.s ownership percentage has increased to over 50% of the outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock, the rights of Invus, L.P. and Invus C.V. under the Stockholders Agreement have been altered as described in Item 6. In
particular, Invus, L.P. and Invus C.V. now have the right to designate a number of directors to the Issuers board equal to Invus, L.P.s ownership percentage of Issuer Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole number of directors) at
the Issuers next stockholders meeting at which directors will be elected and have the right to terminate any or all of the Stockholders Agreements governance provisions relating to the composition of the Issuers board
of directors and its committees, board vacancies and the consistency of the Issuers certificate of incorporation and bylaws with the Stockholders Agreement. In addition, the Stockholders Agreements voting, standstill and
transfer restriction provisions have terminated, and the Invus Parties are thus no longer subject to the restrictions contained in these provisions.
The Invus Parties anticipate that Mr. Raymond Debbane, one of the members of the Issuers board of directors designated by the Invus Parties, will be appointed Chairman of the Issuers
board of directors, replacing Dr. Samuel L. Barker, who will continue to serve as a member of the board and as the chairman of the audit committee.
Other than as described in this Statement, the Invus Parties do not have any present plans or proposals (1) to exercise their rights under the Stockholders Agreement to designate additional
directors to the Issuers board of directors or to otherwise modify the current composition of the Issuers board of directors or the Issuers certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other governance arrangements or (2) that
relate to or would otherwise result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; provided, that the Invus Parties may, at any time, review or reconsider their position with respect to the
Issuer and reserve the right to develop such plans or proposals.
Item 5.
|
Interest in Securities of the Issuer
|
Item 5(a) of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
As of December 27, 2011, Invus Public Equities, L.P. was the record and beneficial owner of 5,553,292 shares of Issuer Common Stock, representing approximately 1.2% of the outstanding shares of

outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock.
