Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
The 3,067,243 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer and the 181,505 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer underlying the 8% Convertible Note described in Item 3 above were acquired in the Merger. In addition, the 125,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer acquired by HCVVII in broker’s transactions on each of August 2, 2007 and August 3, 2007 for an aggregate of 250,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer were acquired in conjunction with purchases by John Pappajohn, Derace Schaffer, Matthew Kinley, David Wright and funds affiliated with MPM Capital L.P. in connection with obtaining sufficient votes to approve the Merger. It is possible that a Section 13(d) group was formed at the time of these purchases. Any such Section 13(d) group that may have been formed as a result of such concerted action was disbanded immediately following the vote and the resulting consummati on of the Merger and, as such, this Schedule 13(d) only reports those shares of the Common Stock owned by HCVVII.

Various funds affiliated with MPM Capital LP and funds affiliated with Bear Stearns Health Innoventures Management LLC also entered into assignment agreements with the New Investors.
HCVVII acquired the securities of the Issuer for investment purposes, except as otherwise stated herein. Subject to the foregoing, none of the Reporting Persons have a present plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. HCVVII intends to review from time to time their investment in the Issuer and depending on such review may consider various alternative courses of action. In addition, depending on prevailing conditions from time to time, including, without limitation, price and availability of shares, future evaluations by HCVVII of the business and prospects of the Issuer, regulatory requirements, other investment opportunities available to HCVVII and general stock market and economic conditions, HCVVII may determine to increase their investment or sell all or part of their investment in the Issuer through ope n-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, a tender or exchange offer or otherwise.

Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
The following descriptions are qualified in their entirety by the instruments included as exhibits to this Statement.
8% CONVERTIBLE NOTES
At the Effective Date, the Issuer issued the 8% Convertible Notes to the holders of Old PharmAthene’s previously outstanding 8% convertible notes (the “Old Notes”). The 8% Convertible Notes were issued to HCVVII pursuant to the terms of a Note Exchange Agreement, executed at the closing of the Merger, between and among Issuer and the holders of the Old Notes.
Upon the closing of the Merger, as required by the Note Exchange Agreement and the Merger Agreement, Issuer filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation that (i) requires the Issuer to maintain a Board of Directors with no more than seven members, and requires that each committee of the Board would have no more than three members; and (ii) provides that three members of the Board of Directors shall be elected by holders of two-thirds of the outstanding principal amount of the 8% Convertible Notes, voting as a class and that, subject to applicable law, two of the directors appointed by the noteholders (chosen by majority vote of the noteholders) will have the right, but not the obligation, to serve as members of the committees of the Board of Directors of Issuer. The provisions of Issuer’s Certificate of Incorporation that relate to the board rights described above will apply only so long as 30% of the original $12.5 mi llion principal amount of the notes remain outstanding. As of August 6, 2007, James Cavanaugh was appointed to Issuer’s Board of Directors as one of the three initial noteholder representatives. Dr. Cavanaugh is a general partner of HCPVII, the General Partner of HCVVII, the registered owner of the shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
On the Effective Date, in connection with the closing of the Merger, the Issuer entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with HCVVII and other holders of Old PharmAthene equity securities. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer agreed to file a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the Effective Date in order to register for resale all shares of Common Stock held by the parties to the Registration Rights Agreement, including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the 8% Convertible Notes.
LOCKUP AGREEMENT
As a condition to the closing of the Merger, substantially all of the holders of capital stock and all of the noteholders of Old PharmAthene, including HCVVII, entered into a lock-up agreement with the Issuer covering the shares of the Issuer’s common stock that it received in the Merger or that it may acquire in the future, subject to certain limitations. This agreement provides that, subject to certain exceptions, the parties thereto may not offer, pledge, sell, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of Common Stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, following the closing of the Merger. In addition, the parties may not enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers the economic consequence of ownership of such Common Stock during such period. Fift y percent of the
shares of Common Stock subject to the lock-up agreements shall be released from the lock-up six months following the Merger, and all shares of Common Stock subject to the lock-up shall be released from the lock-up agreement twelve months following the closing.
STOCK ESCROW AGREEMENT
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the stockholders, optionholders and warrantholders of Old PharmAthene agreed to indemnify the Issuer for the breach of any representations or warranties or covenants by Old PharmAthene and agreed that an aggregate of 1,375,000 shares of Common Stock from the merger consideration will be placed into escrow to be used to satisfy any claims (the “Escrow Shares”). Any claims by the Issuer against the Escrow Shares must be made within 12 months of closing of the Merger. The indemnification is subject to a limitation that the Issuer incur damages of at least $500,000 prior to making any claim. Further, the indemnification obligation is limited solely and exclusively to the Escrow Shares.
In accordance with the Stock Escrow Agreement entered into in connection with these escrow arrangements, (i) HCVVII placed 350,170 shares of Common Stock received as merger consideration into escrow; (ii) James Cavanaugh placed 299 shares of Common Stock underlying his options as is described in Item 5 above in escrow; and (iii) Harold Werner placed 179 shares of Common Stock underlying his options as is described in Item 5 above in escrow.
OTHER RELATIONSHIPS
The 125,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer acquired by HCVVII in broker’s transactions on each of August 2, 2007 and August 3, 2007 for an aggregate of 250,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer were acquired in conjunction with purchases by John Pappajohn, Derace Schaffer, Matthew Kinley, David Wright and funds affiliated with MPM Capital L.P. in connection with obtaining sufficient votes to approve the Merger. It is possible that a Section 13(d) group was formed at the time of these purchases. Any such Section 13(d) group that may have been formed as a result of such concerted action was disbanded immediately following the vote and the resulting consummation of the Merger and, as such, this Schedule 13(d) only reports those shares of the Common Stock owned by HCVVII. Please refer to Items 3 above and 5 below for a description of the shares of Common Stock acquired by HCVVII.
As described above, pursuant to an assignment agreement and upon the consummation of the Merger, HCVVII assigned its right to receive 87,491 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock that would otherwise be received by HCVVII as part of the Merger. This right was assigned to the New Investors in privately negotiated transactions as an inducement to the New Investors purchasing a significant number of the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock from stockholders of the Issuer who were stockholders of the Issuer as of the Record Date and who delivered proxy cards indicating a vote against the Merger or who intended to vote against the Merger.
