Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) to this Statement on Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D previously filed by the reporting persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 25, 2022, with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of GreenLight Biosciences Holdings, PBC, a Delaware public benefit corporation (the “Issuer”), whose principal executive offices are located at 200 Boston Avenue, Suite 3100, Medford, Massachusetts 02155. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Statement. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Statement remains unchanged.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:
This Statement is not being made as a result of any particular acquisition or disposition of Common Stock by the Reporting Persons.
The descriptions of the Proposal (as defined below) under Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
On March 29, 2023, Fall Line Endurance Fund, LP (the “Bidder”) submitted a preliminary non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Special Committee”) related to the proposed acquisition, directly or indirectly, by a to-be-formed affiliate of Bidder (“Buyer”), of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock not beneficially owned by the Bidder or any potential co-investors in Buyer or their respective affiliates, for cash consideration of US$0.60 per share (the “Proposed Transaction”), with the Bidder, other potential co-investors in Buyer and their respective affiliates rolling over 100% of their Common Stock into Buyer resulting in the Issuer becoming wholly-owned by Buyer.
Any definitive agreement entered into in connection with the Proposed Transaction would be subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the Special Committee, any required stockholder approvals and approval by any applicable regulatory authorities. The Bidder states in the Proposal that, while the Proposed Transaction would not be subject to a financing condition to pay the purchase price in the Proposed Transaction, the Bidder’s expectation is that, concurrent with the consummation of the Proposed Transaction, Buyer or its affiliates would complete a financing for purposes of raising funds to operate the Issuer after the Proposed Transaction. In addition, the Bidder states in the Proposal that the Proposal is conditioned on certain other to be identified Issuer stockholders agreeing to roll their existing equity into Buyer in the Proposed Transaction.
The Proposal is non-binding in nature, constitutes a preliminary inquiry and does not obligate in any way Bidder, Buyer, the other Reporting Persons or the Issuer to negotiate or enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the Proposal. No assurance can be given that any definitive agreement will be entered into, that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated, or that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated on the terms set forth in the Proposal. Each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right to modify or withdraw the Proposal at any time and no binding obligation on the part of any of the Reporting Persons or any of their affiliates will arise with respect to the filing of this Amendment No. 1. While the Proposal remains under consideration by the Special Committee, the Reporting Persons and their affiliates expect to respond to inquiries from, and negotiate the terms of the Proposal with, the Special Committee and its representatives. The Reporting Persons do not intend to update additional disclosures regarding the Proposal unless and until a definitive agreement has been reached, or unless disclosure is otherwise required under applicable U.S. securities laws.
The Proposal may result in one or more of the transactions, events or actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including, without limitation, an acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer, an extraordinary corporate transaction (such as a merger) involving the Issuer, delisting of the Common Stock from the Nasdaq Global Market and other material changes in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure.
Reference to the Proposal in this Statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Proposal which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2, and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
