INTRODUCTION

 

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends the Schedule 13D filed on April 16, 2007 (the “Original 13D”) by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), Lehman Brothers Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“LBI”), and LB I Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LB I Group,” and together with Holdings and LBI, the “Reporting Persons”) with respect to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Lpath Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on June 14, 2007 (“Amendment No. 1,” and together with the Original 13D, the “Schedule 13D Filing”).

 

Items 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Schedule 13D Filing are amended and supplemented as follows:

 

ITEM 2.

IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

 

Appendix A to the Schedule 13D Filing, which sets forth the names, residence and business address, citizenships and present principal occupations or employment of the senior executive officers and directors of the Reporting Persons, is hereby amended in its entirety. Appendix A, as amended, is attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

 

ITEM 3.

SOURCE OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

 

The aggregate purchase price of the 3,684,211 shares of Common Stock purchased in a private placement on August 13, 2008 was $3,500,000.45. LB I Group also received warrants as part of the transaction. The source of the funds employed to pay the aggregate purchase price was the general working capital of LB I Group.

 

ITEM 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D Filing is hereby supplemented to include the following:

 

On August 13, 2008, LB I Group purchased 3,684,211 shares of Common Stock and received 921,053 warrants as part of a private placement financing by the Issuer to recapitalize the Issuer. LB I Group is the largest single investor in such financing, but was one of approximately 10 investors in such financing.

 

The Reporting Persons review their holdings in the Issuer on an ongoing basis. Depending on such review, each of the Reporting Persons may make additional purchases or sales of the Issuer’s securities in the future. Additional transactions, if any, in the Issuer’s securities will depend on various factors, including, without limitation, the price of the Common Stock, stock market conditions and the business prospects of the Issuer. In addition, the Reporting Persons may engage, from time to time, in discussions with the Issuer and other stockholders of the Issuer concerning the Issuer and its business.

 

Except as otherwise described in the Schedule 13D Filing, none of the Reporting Persons have any current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the transactions or changes contemplated in Items 4(a) through 4(j) of Schedule 13D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to effect any such actions as any of them may deem necessary or appropriate in the future.

 

 


ITEM 5.

INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D Filing is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:

 

 

(a)

See Items 11 and 13 of the cover page for each Reporting Person.

 

LB I Group is the actual owner of the 12,105,311 shares of Common Stock and 3,868,438 warrants reported herein. The terms of the warrants contain a limitation on acquiring shares of Common Stock if the exercise would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock and are, therefore, as of the date of this Amendment, not exercisable.

 

Under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, both LBI and Holdings may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock and warrants owned by LB I Group. Jeffrey Ferrell, who is a senior vice president of LBI and of LB I Group and is a director of the Issuer, disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock and warrants held by the Reporting Persons.

 

 

(b)

See Items 7 through 10 of the cover page for each Reporting Person.

 

 

(c)

Except as disclosed below, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions within the past 60 days.

 

On August 13, 2008, LB I Group purchased 3,684,211 shares of Common Stock in a private placement at a price of $0.95 per share and received warrants to purchase 921,053 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.25.

 

 

(d)

None of the Reporting Persons knows of any other person who has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, other than customers of a Reporting Person over whose shares a Reporting Person may have investment discretion.

 

 

(e)

Not Applicable.

 

ITEM 6.

CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

 

Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement executed in connection with the private placement of securities described above, the Issuer has undertaken to file a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the Common Stock and Common Stock underlying the warrants sold in the private placement not later than September 12, 2008 and to use its best efforts to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective not later than December 11, 2008. The Common Stock and Common Stock underlying the warrants purchased by LB I Group in the private placement will be included in this shelf registration statement. If the Issuer fails to have an effective shelf registration statement in place after December 11, 2008, but files a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to another offering of its equity securities, LB I Group may request that the Common Stock and Common Stock underlying the warrants sold in the private placement be included in the registration statement, provided that the Issuer shall not be required to register any Common Stock or Common Stock underlying warrants that are eligible for resale under Rule 144(b)(1) promulgated under the Securities Act. If (i) the Issuer fails to have an effective shelf registration statement in place prior to December 11, 2008, (ii) the shelf registration statement subsequently ceases to be effective or (iii) the investors in the private placement described above are otherwise not permitted to resell their securities under the shelf registration statement for any other reason for 30 consecutive calendar days or more than an

 


aggregate of 60 calendar days during any 12-month period, then the Issuer is obligated to pay the investors an amount equal to 1.25% of the aggregate purchase price paid in the private placement for each month that the investors cannot resell their securities, up to an aggregate amount of 8.75% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such investors.
