Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
On June 15, 2015, Pulmatrix, Inc., formerly known as Ruthigen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and surviving corporation completed its acquisition of Pulmatrix Inc., a Delaware corporation and private company (the “Former Entity”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 13, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, the Former Entity and Ruthigen Merger Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Former Entity with the Former Entity being the surviving corporation of the Merger and thereby becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer. Also on June 15, 2015, the Issuer’s name was changed to “Pulmatrix, Inc.”
Pursuant to the Merger, each share of capital stock of the Former Entity was exchanged for 0.148187124066461 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, and immediately following the Merger, on June 15, 2015, the Issuer effected a 1-for-2.5 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of its issued and outstanding Common Stock. As a result of the Merger, the former stockholders of the Former Entity own 81.7% of the Issuer’s total outstanding shares of Common Stock and of the total voting power of all of the Issuer’s outstanding securities. The exchange was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on Form S-4 (File No. 333-203417), originally filed on April 15, 2015.
This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement which is filed as Exhibits 3 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
Prior to the Merger, ARCH Venture Fund VII owned 18,800,000 shares of the Former Entity’s preferred stock which, pursuant to the Merger, were converted into the right to receive 1,114,368 shares of Common Stock of Issuer, after taking into account the Reverse Split. The average cost per share of those shares was $8.435. No consideration was paid for the shares of the Issuer acquired pursuant to the Merger. Immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger, all outstanding convertible debt securities issued by the Former Entity to ARCH Venture Fund VII in the principal and interest amount of $9,743,559.39 were converted into 1,535,723 shares of Common Stock of the Former Entity, after taking into account the Reverse Split. Concurrent with the consummation of the Merger, ARCH Venture Fund VII participated in a private placement of units of the Issuer at a purchase price of $6.875 per unit, after taking into account the conversion and the Reverse Split, consisting of 363,637 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 797,506 shares of Common Stock that are exercisable for $7.55 per share upon the earliest to occur (the “Initial Exercise Date”) of (a) the Issuer entering into a strategic license agreement with a third party related to any of the Issuer’s products pursuant to which the Issuer is guaranteed to receive consideration from such third party consisting of cash, marketable securities or a combination thereof having a value of at least $20,000,000 in the aggregate; (b) the Issuer consummating a public or private offering of Common Stock or common stock equivalents resulting in gross proceeds to the Issuer of at least $20,000,000 at a price per share of at least $4.00 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and other similar events, but no adjustment shall be made in respect of the Merger); (c) the volume weighted average price per share of Common Stock exceeding $5.00 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and other similar events, but no adjustment shall be made in respect of the Merger) for a period of sixty consecutive trading days and the average daily trading volume exceeds 100,000 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and other similar events, but no adjustment shall be made in respect of the Merger) shares of Common Stock per trading day; or (d) a change of control. Because these warrants are not immediately exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of this statement, these warrants are not included as beneficially owned in Item 5 below. These warrants expire five years from the Initial Exercise Date.
Finally, prior to the Merger ARCH Venture Fund VII sold 800,022 of its shares of the Former Entity for $1,999 to certain shareholders of the Issuer. This amount of shares reflects the Reverse Split.
On June 16, 2015, ARCH Venture Fund VII purchased from Oculus Innovative Sciences, Inc. (“Oculus”), the former parent of the Issuer, 72,750 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for $500,156.25. Oculus had a preexisting sale agreement with the Issuer which ARCH Venture Fund VII and certain other shareholders of the Issuer assumed.
The working capital of ARCH Venture Fund VII was the source of the funds for the purchase of its shares. No part of the purchase price paid by this entity was represented by funds or other consideration borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring, holding, trading or voting the shares of Common Stock described above. The total amount paid by ARCH Venture Fund VII for securities purchased in the above-listed transactions is as follows:
ARCH Venture Fund VII: $3,000,156.45
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
ARCH Venture Fund VII acquired the Common Stock for investment purposes. Depending on market conditions, the continuing evaluation of the business and prospects of the Issuer and other factors, ARCH Venture Fund VII and other Reporting Persons may dispose of or acquire additional shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans which relate to or would result in:
| (a) | The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; |

| (i) | A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or |
| (j) | Any action similar to any of those enumerated above. |

|
| (b) | AVP VII LP, as the sole general partner of ARCH Venture Fund VII, may be deemed to beneficially own the ARCH VII Shares. AVP VII LLC, as the sole general partner of the AVP VII LP, may be deemed to beneficially own the ARCH VII Shares. |
In addition, each of the Managing Directors may be deemed to share the power to direct the disposition and vote of the Record Shares. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities except for the shares, if any, held of record by such Reporting Person.
The percentage of outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is set forth on Line 13 of such Reporting Person’s cover sheet.

| (d) | No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or any proceeds from the sale of, shares beneficially owned by any of the Reporting Persons. |
