CUSIP No. 514766104

 

The following constitutes Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 6”). This Amendment No. 6 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 1.Security and Issuer.

Item 1 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

This statement relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of Lifecore Biomedical, Inc., a Delaware corporation, formerly known as Landec Corporation (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 3515 Lyman Boulevard, Chaska, Minnesota 55318.

Item 3.Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The Shares purchased by each of Legion Partners I, Legion Partners II and Legion Partners Holdings 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, except as otherwise noted herein or in Schedule A, which is incorporated herein by reference. The aggregate purchase price of the 2,772,956 Shares owned directly by Legion Partners I is approximately $28,130,183, including brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 167,184 Shares owned directly by Legion Partners II is approximately $1,725,288, including brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 200 Shares owned directly by Legion Partners Holdings is approximately $2,082, including brokerage commissions.

As detailed in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 6, which information is incorporated herein by reference, the Series A Preferred Stock (as defined below) purchased by Legion Partners I and Legion Partners II are converted into Shares at any time by Legion Partners I and Legion Partners II, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limit (as defined below), which Shares are treated as beneficially owned for purposes of this Schedule 13D. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased by each of Legion Partners I and Legion Partners II were purchased directly from the Issuer with working capital pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (as defined below). The aggregate purchase price of the 11,414 shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned directly by Legion Partners I is approximately $11,414,000. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,086 shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned directly by Legion Partners II is approximately $1,086,000.

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On January 9, 2023, Legion Partners I and Legion Partners II (collectively, the “Legion Investors”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Issuer and certain other unaffiliated investors, pursuant to which the Issuer sold in the aggregate to the Legion Investors 12,500 shares of the Issuer’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $1,000 per share (the “Purchase Price”), for an aggregate purchase price of $12,500,000. The Series A Preferred Stock will accrue dividends, payable in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “PIK Dividends”), at a rate of 7.5% per annum of the stated value per share of Series A Preferred Stock; provided, that from and after the earlier of (a) June 29, 2026 or (b) the termination or waiver of the restrictions on cash dividends and/or redemptions set forth in the Issuer’s existing credit agreements (such earlier date, the “Applicable Date”), the Issuer may, at its option, pay such dividends in cash.

9

CUSIP No. 514766104

The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into Shares (the Shares underlying the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Conversion Shares”) at an initial conversion price of $7.00 per Share (the “Conversion Price”), at any time at the election of the Legion Investors, subject to customary adjustments. Subject to the Issuer’s continuing satisfaction of certain equity conditions, the Issuer may also require the conversion of all Series A Preferred Stock into Shares if the Shares exceeds 150% of the Conversion Price for 20 consecutive trading days.

On or any time after the Applicable Date, with six months advance written notice to the Issuer, the Legion Investors will have the right to require the Issuer to redeem, in whole or in part, the Series A Preferred Stock for a cash purchase price equal to the stated value per share of the Series A Preferred Stock, plus an amount in cash equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. The Series A Preferred Stock will also be mandatorily redeemed, at the option of the holder, upon certain bankruptcy-related triggering events. The Issuer will not have redemption rights.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not convert any shares of Series A Preferred Stock (and any such conversion shall be null and void) to the extent that (i) after giving effect to such conversion, the Reporting Persons collectively beneficially would own in excess of 9.99% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Beneficial Ownership Limit”), or (ii) the conversion would result in the issuance of greater than 19.99% of the number of Shares outstanding as of the date of signing (the “Exchange Cap”), until the Issuer obtains stockholder approval for issuances of underlying Shares in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

The Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to vote with common stockholders on an as-converted basis on all matters, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”), including the Beneficial Ownership Limit and Exchange Cap. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to elect two Series A Preferred Directors (the “Series A Directors”), which will initially be Nathaniel Calloway and Christopher S. Kiper, for so long as 30% of the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding (the “Ownership Threshold”). Subject to the Ownership Threshold, the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to a separate class vote with respect to the nomination of a Board member in any year in which any of the Series A Directors terms expire or any of such directors resign, die or are removed and holders of 10% of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to call a special meeting to elect any Series A Director.

The Issuer will also not be permitted to undertake certain actions, including incurring indebtedness above $175 million and amending its organizational documents in a manner adverse to the Series A Preferred Stock, without the prior consent of the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock, for so long as the Ownership Threshold is met. The Legion Investors have been granted the right to participate on a proportionate basis in future equity offerings, subject to certain limits. The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 in the Issuer’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 10, 2023, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Also on January 9, 2023, the Issuer, Legion Investors and other parties to the Purchase Agreement entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), in which the Issuer has agreed that it shall use reasonable best efforts to register for resale, on or prior to the date ninety (90) days after January 9, 2023, at least 150% of the maximum amount of Conversion Shares convertible or converted from the Purchased Shares and PIK Dividends, to the extent such shares are Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). In addition, the Issuer has agreed to use its reasonable efforts to list the Conversion Shares covered by an effective Registration Statement upon the securities exchange upon which the Shares are then listed. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary indemnification provisions. The foregoing summary of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 in the Issuer’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 10, 2023, and is incorporated herein by reference.

10

CUSIP No. 514766104

The Legion Investors disclaim the formation of any group with the other investors that are parties to the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement in all respects.

Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:
