ITEM 4.Purpose of Transaction.

 

The Reporting Persons acquired the Common Stock covered by this Schedule 13D for investment purposes, in the ordinary course of business.

 

The Reporting Persons will routinely monitor a wide variety of investment considerations, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices for the Common Stock, the Issuer’s operations, assets, prospects, business development, markets and capitalization, the Issuer’s management and personnel, Issuer-related competitive and strategic matters, general economic, financial market and industry conditions, as well as other investment considerations. The Reporting Persons expect to discuss their investment in the Issuer and the foregoing investment considerations with the Issuer’s Board of Directors (“Board of Directors”), management, other investors, industry analysts and others. These considerations, these discussions and other factors may result in the Reporting Persons’ consideration of various alternatives with respect to their investment, including possible changes in the present Board of Directors and/or management of the Issuer or other alternatives to increase stockholder value. The Reporting Persons may also enter into confidentiality or similar agreements with the Issuer and, subject to such an agreement or otherwise, exchange information with the Issuer. In addition, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional Issuer securities in the public markets, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise or may determine to sell, trade or otherwise dispose of all or some holdings in the Issuer in the public markets, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, or take any other lawful action they deem to be in their best interests.

 

On June 12, 2020, the Board of Directors appointed Michael S. Lee, a managing director of Redmile, to serve as a director of the Issuer. Immediately prior to the IPO, which was completed on October 14, 2020, Mr. Lee was appointed a Class I director to serve until the Issuer’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until his successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. In connection with Mr. Lee’s appointment to the Board of Directors, on June 12, 2020, Mr. Lee and the Issuer entered into an indemnification agreement in the same form as the Issuer’s standard form of indemnification agreement with its other directors.

 

In addition, Mr. Lee is entitled to cash and equity compensation pursuant to the Issuer’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the “Policy”). Pursuant to the Policy, Mr. Lee is entitled to receive an annual cash retainer of $35,000 to be paid quarterly, in arrears. Mr. Lee currently serves on the nominating and corporate governance committee. Under the Policy, non-employee directors receive $7,500 annually for serving on the audit committee ($15,000 annually for the chairperson), $5,000 annually for serving on the compensation committee ($10,000 annually for the chairperson) and $4,000 annually for serving on the nominating and corporate governance committee ($8,000 annually for the chairperson). A non-employee director also receives $65,000 annually for serving as the non-executive chairperson of the Board of Directors and $60,000 annually for serving as the lead independent director of the Board of Directors.

 

Pursuant to the Policy, Mr. Lee will also be entitled to receive an annual award of stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units, as determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, with a grant date fair value equal to $70,000, which award will vest over a one-year period or, if sooner, immediately prior to the Issuer’s next annual meeting of stockholders, subject to Mr. Lee’s continued service on the Board of Directors through each applicable vesting date.

Mr. Lee disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities, and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that Mr. Lee is the beneficial owner of such securities for any purpose. The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of all such securities except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein, and this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are the beneficial owner of such securities any purpose.
