The following constitutes Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 4”).  This Amendment No. 4 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
 
Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
The aggregate purchase price of the 2,488,132 Shares owned by Master Fund is approximately $5,232,706, including brokerage commissions.  The aggregate purchase price of the 316,212 Shares owned by Fund II is approximately $1,021,576, including brokerage commissions.  The aggregate purchase price of the 445,656 Shares owned by Ktown is approximately $1,599,329, including brokerage commissions.  The Shares purchased by Master Fund, Fund II and Ktown were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
On June 25, 2014, the Issuer, Auxilium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Auxilium”), QLT Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer ("Holdco"), and QLT Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo ("AcquireCo"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”).  The Merger Agreement provides that, on and subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, AcquireCo will merge with and into Auxilium (the “Merger”), with Auxilium being the surviving corporation.  Upon consummation of the Merger, each outstanding share of Auxilium common stock, other than shares owned by the Issuer, Auxilium, HoldCo or AcquireCo, will be converted into the right to receive 3.1359 common shares of the Issuer, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Merger Agreement (such transactions, together with any other transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "Transaction").
 
Concurrently with the Issuer’s entrance into the Merger Agreement, Kingstown Capital entered into a Voting Agreement with Auxilium (the “Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which it agreed, among other things, that at any meeting of shareholders of the Issuer, however called, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, or in connection with any written consent of the shareholders of the Issuer or in any other circumstance upon which a vote, consent or other approval of all or some of the Issuer’s shareholders is sought, to vote its Shares (a) in favor of approval of the Transaction, including without limitation in favor of approval of the QLT Shareholder Resolution, and any actions required in furtherance thereof; and (b) against the following actions (other than the issuance of the Issuer Shares in connection with the Merger): (i) any acquisition proposal or merger, takeover bid, amalgamation, plan of arrangement, business combination or similar transaction involving the Issuer, other than the Transaction (an "Alternative Transaction"); (ii) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) any amendment of the Issuer's notice of articles or articles that would reasonably be regarded as being directed towards or likely to prevent, delay or impede the consummation of the Transaction; (iv) any action or transaction that would result in a breach of any representation, warranty covenant or agreement of the Issuer under the Merger Agreement; or (v) any other action or transaction that would reasonably be regarded as being directed towards or likely to prevent, delay or impede the consummation of the Transaction.
 
The Voting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and the information set forth in response to this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement, which is incorporated by reference herein.

CUSIP NO. 746927102
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
(a)           The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 51,081,878 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of June 25, 2014, as reported in the Merger Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuer’s Prospectus on Form 425 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 2014.
 
As of the date hereof, Master Fund owned directly 2,488,132 Shares, constituting approximately 4.9% of the Shares outstanding, Fund II owned directly 316,212 Shares, constituting less than one percent of the Shares outstanding and Ktown owned directly 445,656 Shares, constituting less than one percent of the Shares outstanding.  By virtue of their respective relationships with the Funds discussed in further detail in Item 2 of the Schedule 13D, each of General Partner, Kingstown Capital, Kingstown Management and Messrs. Blitzer and Shanon may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned directly by the Funds.
 
Item 5(c) is hereby amended to add the following:
 
(c)           There have been no transactions in securities of the Issuer during the past 60 days.
 
Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 is hereby amended to add the information contained in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 4, which is incorporated by reference herein.
