                This statement is filed with respect to the shares of the common stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), of Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Issuer"), beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) as of November 18, 2013, and amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on March 18, 2011 (collectively, the "Schedule 13D").  Except as set forth herein, the Schedule 13D is unmodified.

The names of the persons filing this statement on Schedule 13D are: Platinum-Montaur Life Sciences, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Montaur”), and Platinum Partners Value Arbitrage Fund L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the “Master Fund,” and together with Montaur, the "Reporting Persons").  The Master Fund is the parent and managing member of Montaur.

ITEM 3.SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

                 The aggregate purchase price of the 10,073,375 shares of Common Stock owned directly by PPVA is approximately $9,909,643, including brokerage commissions.  

                 The aggregate purchase price of the 8,012 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock owned directly by Montaur is approximately $12,122,560, including brokerage commissions.  

                 The purchase price used to acquire the securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons was funded by working capital.

ITEM 4.Purpose of Transaction.

                 Item 4 of Schedule 13D is supplemented by the following:

                 Effective November 13, 2013, the Issuer appointed Michael M. Goldberg, M.D., Portfolio Manager of Montaur, to the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”).  Dr. Goldberg was appointed to the class of directors up for election at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Issuer (the “2014 Annual Meeting”).  In connection with Dr. Goldberg’s appointment to the Board, the Issuer agreed to, among other things, nominate Dr. Goldberg for election at the 2014 Annual Meeting and to recommend, support and solicit proxies for the election of Dr. Goldberg at the 2014 Annual Meeting in the same manner as for the Issuer’s other director nominees standing for election to the Board at the 2014 Annual Meeting.  

                 Dr. Goldberg has agreed that for as long as he is a member of the Board he will not, directly or indirectly, have any power to direct or cause the direction of voting or disposition of any securities of the Issuer directly or beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons and any other persons or entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with them.

ITEM 5Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                 Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

                 The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 134,345,483 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 5, 2013, which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2013.

                  PPVA owns directly 10,073,375 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 7.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

                  Montaur beneficially owns 26,199,240 shares of Common Stock, all of which are shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the 8,012 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held directly by Montaur.

                  The Reporting Persons collectively own, before giving effect to the 9.99% Blocker (as defined below), 36,272,615 shares of Common Stock, including 26,199,240 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of 8,012 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.  

                  Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 3,270 shares of Common Stock provided that the conversion would not result in the holder owning more than 9.99% of the Common Stock outstanding at the time of conversion except on 61 days’ prior written notice to the Issuer that the holder waives such limitation (the “9.99% Blocker”).  The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock on December 31, 2013, subject to the limitations of the 9.99% Blocker.

                  Item 5(c) is hereby amended to add the following:

                  Schedule A annexed hereto lists all transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days by the Reporting Persons.  All of such transactions were effected in the open market, unless otherwise noted.
 
 
 
 
ITEM 6Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

  Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

                  The Master Fund has entered into a notional principal amount derivative agreement (the “Derivative Agreement”) with respect to 3,000,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, representing an economic interest in 2.2% of the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock.  The Derivative Agreement provides the Master Fund with economic results that are comparable to the economic results of ownership but does not provide it with the power to vote or direct the voting or dispose of or direct the disposition of the shares that are the subject of the Derivative Agreement.  The counterparty to the Derivative Agreement is an unaffiliated third party financial institution.
