Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 (this Amendment) amends the Schedule 13D filed on March 27, 2023 (the Schedule 13D) with the Securities and Exchange Commission as specifically set forth herein. On July 24, 2023 (the Closing Date), the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 3, 2023 (the Purchase Agreement), by and among Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, a Delaware corporation (Labcorp or the Reporting Person), Enzo Clinical Labs, Inc., a New York corporation, and Enzo Biochem, Inc., a New York corporation (the Issuer), were consummated. Pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreements, dated as of March 16, 2023 (the Voting Agreements), by and between Labcorp and certain stockholders of the Issuer, the Voting Agreements and the limited proxy granted to Labcorp thereby were automatically terminated on the Closing Date.
As a result of the foregoing and effective as of the Closing Date, to the extent the terms of the Voting Agreements may have resulted in the Reporting Person being deemed for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (Rule 13d-3) to beneficially own common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Issuer Common Stock), of the Issuer, the Reporting Person is no longer deemed for purposes of Rule 13d-3 to beneficially own any Issuer Common Stock. Accordingly, this Amendment is the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Person.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by adding the following as the penultimate paragraph of Item 4(a) (c):
Termination of Voting Agreements
On the Closing Date, the parties to the Purchase Agreement consummated the transactions contemplated thereby. Pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreements, the Voting Agreements and the limited proxy granted to Labcorp thereby were automatically terminated on the Closing Date.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
Items 5(a) (b) and (e) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
(a)(b) The responses to Rows 7-13 of the cover page of this Amendment are incorporated herein by reference. The information contained in Item 4 above is incorporated herein by reference.
(e) As of July 24, 2023, the Reporting Person may no longer be deemed for purposes of Rule 13d-3 to beneficially own any Issuer Common Stock.
