| CUSIP No. 90403T209 | SCHEDULE 13D/A |
This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 5”) is filed by Michael I. Sacks (“M Sacks”) with respect to ownership of shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of ULURU Inc., a Nevada corporation (“ULURU”), and amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on February 5, 2014, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on April 2, 2015, Amendment No. 2 filed on July 29, 2015, Amendment No. 3 filed on April 1, 2016, and Amendment No. 4 filed on March 2, 2017 (the “Original Schedule 13D” and together with this Amendment No. 5, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 5 shall have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D.
This Amendment No. 5 is being filed to amend Items 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Schedule 13D as follows:
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented as follows:
Velocitas Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Velocitas”), Velocitas I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Velocitas I” and together with Velocitas, the “Velocitas Parties”), and ULURU are parties to the Note, Warrant, and Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 27, 2017, as amended by the Amendment to Note, Warrant, and Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2017 (the “Velocitas Purchase Agreement Amendment,” and as amended, the “Velocitas Purchase Agreement”). In connection with the Velocitas Purchase Agreement, Centric Capital Ventures LLC (“Centric Capital”), Bradley J. Sacks (“B Sacks”), M Sacks, the Velocitas Parties, Terrance K. Wallberg (“Wallberg”) and ULURU entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of February 27, 2017, as amended as of March 31, 2017 (the “Voting Agreement Amendment,” and as amended, the “Voting Agreement”), which became effective upon the second closing under the Velocitas Purchase Agreement held on March 31, 2017 (the “Second Closing”) in accordance with its terms. Under the Velocitas Purchase Agreement Amendment, the parties agreed to extend the date for the Second Closing and provide for the purchase by Velocitas I of $5,000,000 of ULURU’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”). In accordance with the Velocitas Purchase Agreement, at the initial closing held on February 27, 2017 (the “Initial Closing”), ULURU issued Velocitas a $500,000 convertible secured promissory note (the “Initial Note”) and appointed Vaidehi Shah to serve as ULURU’s Chief Executive Officer and to also serve as a member of ULURU’s Board of Directors.
In accordance with the Velocitas Purchase Agreement, at the Second Closing (a) ULURU issued Velocitas a $500,000 convertible secured promissory note substantially on the same terms as the Initial Note (the Initial Note, together with the note issued at the Second Closing, are referred to as the “Notes”) and a warrant to purchase 57,055,057 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.04 per share (the “Velocitas Warrant”) and (b) Velocitas I purchased shares of ULURU Series B Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000 (which shares are convertible into 125,000,000 shares of Common Stock). The Notes have a conversion price of $0.04 per share and are currently convertible into an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition, at the Second Closing, ULURU acquired certain Altrazeal distributor agreements Velocitas has with its sub-distributors in exchange for the issuance to Velocitas of 13,375,000 shares of Common Stock. As a result of the issuance of $5,000,000 of ULURU Series B Preferred Stock at the Second Closing, the conditions under which B Sacks could have been obligated to purchase up to $2,000,000 in Common Stock under the Backstop Agreement, dated as of February 27, 2017, by and among ULURU, B Sacks and Velocitas, will not be satisfied and any potential obligation of B Sacks to purchase Common Stock thereunder has expired and is now terminated.
| 2 |
Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the parties agreed that once the Voting Agreement became effective, the size of the Board of Directors would be set at six directors, and the parties would vote for the election to the Board of Directors of four persons designated by Velocitas (initially to be Anish Shah, Oksana Tiedt, Vaidehi Shah and Arindam Bose, all of whom have been appointed to the Board of Directors), one director designated by B Sacks and one additional director to be designated by a major investor or by the Board of Directors. In addition, the Voting Agreement provides for a vote in favor of a proposal to amend ULURU’s amended and restated articles of incorporation (the “Articles”) to increase the authorized shares as required to permit the conversion/exercise of the Series B Preferred Stock and other convertible securities to Common Stock. In connection with the Second Closing, the Voting Agreement was amended to remove Wallberg as a party thereto. Also at such time, B Sacks resigned as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of ULURU but continues to serve as a member of the Board.
Other than as described above or elsewhere in this Schedule 13D, M Sacks does not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, although M Sacks may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider his position and/or change his purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5(a), (b) and (c) of the Schedule 13D are amended and supplemented as follows:
(a) M Sacks directly beneficially owns 30,050,490 shares of Common Stock, which includes warrants to purchase 14,025,245 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 33.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Centric Capital directly beneficially owns 552,960 shares of Common Stock, which includes warrants to purchase 266,480 shares of Common Stock, and by virtue of his control of Centric Capital as its Managing Member, B Sacks is deemed to beneficially own such 552,960 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 0.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Explanatory Note: When calculating the percentage ownership of the outstanding shares of Common Stock directly beneficially owned by M Sacks, Centric Capital and B Sacks in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Notes and the Warrant beneficially owned by the Velocitas Parties are not deemed to be outstanding because M Sacks, Centric Capital and B Sacks do not have the right to acquire such securities. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock directly beneficially owned by M Sacks, Centric Capital and B Sacks shown above and elsewhere herein appear to be significantly higher than if such ownership percentages were to be calculated on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the conversion and exercise of the securities beneficially owned by the Velocitas Parties.
M Sacks, Centric Capital and B Sacks may be deemed to be a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Exchange Act. M Sacks has filed a separate Schedule 13D with respect to ULURU. Except as described herein, M Sacks disclaims any beneficial ownership or pecuniary interest in the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Centric Capital or B Sacks. Any information regarding Centric Capital and B Sacks described in this Schedule 13D is based on information provided by Centric Capital and B Sacks to M Sacks.
Upon the effectiveness of the Voting Agreement, a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Exchange Act may be deemed to have formed among M Sacks, Centric Capital, B Sacks and the Velocitas Parties. The Velocitas Parties have filed a separate Schedule 13D with respect to ULURU. Any information regarding the Velocitas Parties described in this Schedule 13D is based on information provided by the Velocitas Parties to M Sacks.
Subject to the availability of Common Stock authorized to be issued pursuant to the Articles, Velocitas would directly beneficially own 220,430,057 shares of Common Stock, which includes 125,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, 57,055,057 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, and 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes representing approximately 77.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, such beneficial ownership would currently be limited to 137,025,569 shares of Common Stock due to the current authorized but unissued amount of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock set forth in the Articles, which represents approximately 68.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Subject to the availability of Common Stock authorized to be issued pursuant to the Issuer’s Articles, Velocitas I would directly beneficially own 125,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, which represents approximately 62.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, such beneficial ownership would currently be limited to 123,650,659 shares of Common Stock due to the current authorized but unissued amount of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock set forth in the Articles, which represents approximately 61.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

The ownership percentages are based upon 76,349,431 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2017 after giving effect to the Second Closing, as provided to M Sacks by ULURU.
