The Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule 13D as a result of their status as shareholders of Roivant Sciences Ltd. (“ Roivant ”); by virtue of governance arrangements in Roivant’s bye-laws, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have dispositive power over and, therefore, beneficial ownership of, the Common Shares held by Roivant.

As disclosed in Roivant’s Schedule 13G filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) on February 10, 2017, Roivant was the majority shareholder of the Issuer’s Common Shares prior to its initial public offering, completed on October 26, 2016, and as such, Roivant, and, by virtue of their indirect beneficial ownership, the Reporting Persons, were eligible to file reports on Schedule 13G after the initial public offering pursuant to Rule 13d-1(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”). The Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule 13D because, following Roivant’s direct acquisition of 2,424,242 Common Shares on June 4, 2019, as reported in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D (which represented an increase in Roivant’s holdings of the Common Shares of more than 2% of the total number of Common Shares outstanding), Roivant and the Reporting Persons are no longer eligible to file reports on Schedule 13G with respect to the Issuer.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Roivant directly owns the Common Shares that are the subject of this Schedule 13D. As shareholders of Roivant, the Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule 13D because they may be deemed to have dispositive power and, therefore, beneficial ownership, over the Common Shares directly held by Roivant by virtue of governance arrangements in Roivant’s bye-laws.

Based on such review and any such communications, as well as general economic, market and industry conditions and prospects existing at the time, the Reporting Persons may, subject to any then existing legal or contractual limitations: (a) purchase additional Common Shares, warrants, options or related derivatives in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise; (b) sell or direct the sale of all or a portion of the Common Shares, warrants, options or related derivatives now beneficially owned or hereafter acquired by them; (c) enter into and/or dispose of certain derivative transactions with one or more counterparties; and/or (d) to the extent permitted by applicable laws, borrow securities, including the Common Shares, for the purpose of effecting, and effect, short sale transactions, and purchase securities for the purpose of closing out short positions in such securities. In addition, the Reporting Persons may evaluate, discuss and/or take action with respect to plans or proposals that could 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; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present Board or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

None of the Reporting Persons is obligated to take or refrain from taking any action with respect to any plans or proposals that the Reporting Persons may evaluate, discuss or determine to pursue. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to revise their plans or intentions at any time and to take any and all action that they may deem appropriate to maximize the value of Roivant’s investment in the Issuer in light of the Reporting Persons’ general investment policies, market conditions, subsequent developments regarding or affecting the Issuer and the general business and future prospects of the Issuer.
