Item 3

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

On December 29, 2022, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), dated August 9, 2022, and entered into by and among the Issuer (formerly known as Gemini Therapeutics, Inc.), Disc Medicine Opco, Inc. (formerly known as Disc Medicine, Inc.) (“Disc”) and Gemstone Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into Disc, with Disc surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Merger”) and Gemini Therapeutics, Inc. was renamed Disc Medicine, Inc.


Between September 2019 and October 2020, AI DMI acquired 11,666,667 shares of Disc Series A preferred stock at a price of $1.20 per share. In September 2021, AI DMI acquired 3,071,868 shares of Disc Series B preferred stock at a price of $2.40 per share. On December 29, 2022, AI DMI acquired 9,960,159 shares of Disc common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Disc Common Stock”), at a price of $2.51 per share. AI DMI funded such purchases using capital contributed from affiliated entities, which funded that capital using cash on hand.

In connection with and immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, on December 29, 2022, each share of Disc Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock converted into a share of Disc Common Stock.

On December 29, 2022, upon consummation of the Merger, all outstanding shares of Disc Common Stock were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive shares of Common Stock on approximately a 0.1096:1 basis. Accordingly, AI DMI received 2,706,976 shares of Common Stock in connection with the Merger.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuer’s Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on August 10, 2022.

 

Item 4

Purpose of Transaction

The information set forth in Item 6 hereof is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

On December 29, 2022, following consummation of the Merger, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned 2,706,976 shares of Common Stock, which represented approximately 16.00% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. See “Item 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer.” In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Issuer’s board of directors elected Liam Ratcliff, head of Biotechnology at Access Industries, Inc. (an affiliate of the Reporting Persons), to serve as a director of the Issuer. In his capacity as a director of the Issuer, Mr. Ratcliff may take an active role in working with the Issuer’s management on operational, financial and strategic initiatives.

The Reporting Persons who hold Common Stock directly acquired those securities as an investment in the regular course of their businesses. The Reporting Persons and their affiliated individuals may from time to time engage in discussions with management, the Issuer’s board of directors, other stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties concerning the business, capital allocation, operations, board composition, management, strategy and future plans of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons intend to re-examine their investment from time to time and, depending on prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements or other investment considerations the Reporting Persons deem material, the Reporting Persons may from time to time acquire additional Common Stock in the open market, block trades, negotiated transactions, or otherwise and may also dispose of all or a portion of the Issuer’s securities, in open market or privately negotiated transactions, and/or enter into derivative transactions with institutional counterparties with respect to the Issuer’s securities, in each case, subject to limitations under applicable law and the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below).

The Reporting Persons have not yet determined which, if any, of the above courses of action they may ultimately take. The Reporting Persons’ future actions with regard to the Issuer are dependent on their evaluation of the factors listed above, circumstances affecting the Issuer in the future, including prospects of the Issuer, general market and economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to determine in the future whether to change the purpose or purposes described above or whether to adopt plans or proposals of the type specified above or otherwise.

The responses of each of the Reporting Persons with respect to Rows 7, 8, 9, and 10 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D that relate to the number of shares of Common Stock as to which each of the persons or entities referenced in Item 2 above has sole or shared power to vote or to direct the vote of and sole or shared power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of (including, but not limited to, footnotes to such information) are incorporated herein by reference.

2,706,976 shares of Common Stock are owned directly by AI DMI and may be deemed to be beneficially owned by AIH, AIM and Mr. Blavatnik because (i) Len Blavatnik controls AIM and holds a majority of the outstanding voting interests in AIH, (ii) AIM controls AIH, and (iii) AIH indirectly controls all of the outstanding voting interests in AI DMI. Each of the Reporting Persons (other than AI DMI), and each of their affiliated entities and the officers, partners, members and managers thereof, disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities.

(c) The following transactions in the Issuer’s securities have been effected by Reporting Persons within the 60 days prior to this filing:

The information set forth in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Merger, Disc entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated December 28, 2022 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with certain stockholders of Disc, including AI DMI (the “Disc Investors”), pursuant to which Disc (i) agreed to register, or cause the Issuer to register, for resale shares of Common Stock issued to the Disc Investors pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Registrable Securities”), and (ii) granted certain other registration rights to the Disc Investors.

In particular, the Registration Rights Agreement provides for the following registration rights:

No later than 45 calendar days following the completion of the Merger, the Issuer is required to file with the SEC, a shelf registration statement registering the resale of the Registrable Securities, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC as promptly as possible.

 

   

Expenses and indemnification. The fees, costs and expenses of registrations pursuant to the registration rights granted to the Disc Investors under the Registration Rights Agreement will be borne by the Issuer. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary cross-indemnification provisions, under which the Issuer is obligated to indemnify holders of Registrable Securities in the event of material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement attributable to the Issuer, and holders of Registrable Securities are obligated to indemnify the Issuer for material misstatements or omissions attributable to them.
