Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

 

As a result of the merger of the Company and Panacos Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

CUSIP No. 917920100    Schedule 13D    Page 6 of 11 Pages

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

On June 2, 2004, the Company, Panacos and certain stockholders of Panacos entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Panacos merged with and into the Company and each issued and outstanding share of Panacos’ common or preferred stock (other than treasury shares and shares held directly or indirectly by Company) was converted into the right to receive 6.75275 shares of the Company’s common stock on March 11, 2005, the effective date of the Merger. The Fund received 61,051,098 shares of the Company’s common stock as a result of the Merger Agreement. In the Merger, Pappas received options to purchase an aggregate of 50,644 shares of the Company’s stock upon conversion of options to purchase Panacos stock, of which options to purchase 45,235 shares are vested within sixty days of March 11, 2005. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company was increased from eight to nine directors, two directors of the Company resigned, two directors of Panacos, including Eric W. Linsley of A.M. Pappas & Associates, LLC, became directors of the Company and one director nominated by the investors in the Private Placement became a director of the Company.

 

On December 9, 2004, the Company and the purchasers listed therein, including the Fund, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on March 11, 2005 the Company issued $20,000,000 worth of shares of its common stock, at a per share price equal to $0.20 per share, and warrants to purchase 0.45 times the number of shares of its common stock issued in the Private Placement, exercisable for a five-year period from the date of issuance at a price of $0.24 per share. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Fund acquired 625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 281,250 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The foregoing summaries of the Merger Agreement and the Purchase Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of such agreements each of which is attached as an annex to the Schedule 14A filed on February 15, 2005 by the Company.

Except to the extent that it is customary for the director designated by Pappas to do so, the Reporting Persons have no intention to influence or direct the Company’s affairs, modify its corporate structure or interfere with the business decisions of its management.
