SCHEDULE 13D/A

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) to the Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) is being filed on behalf of Prescott Group Capital Management, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Prescott Capital”), Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap, L.P., an Oklahoma limited partnership (“Prescott Small Cap”), Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap II, L.P., an Oklahoma limited partnership (“Prescott Small Cap II” and, together with Prescott Small Cap, the “Small Cap Funds”), and Mr. Phil Frohlich, the principal of Prescott Capital, relating to shares of common stock of PharmAthene, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).

This Amendment relates to shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Issuer (the “Common Stock”) purchased by the Small Cap Funds through the account of Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap Master Fund, G.P., an Oklahoma general partnership (“Prescott Master Fund”), of which the Small Cap Funds are the general partners. Prescott Capital serves as the general partner of the Small Cap Funds and may direct the Small Cap Funds, the general partners of Prescott Master Fund, to direct the vote and disposition of the 5,244,835 shares of Common Stock held by the Prescott Master Fund. As the principal of Prescott Capital, Mr. Frohlich may direct the vote and disposition of the 5,244,835 shares of Common Stock held by Prescott Master Fund.

The Amendment amends and restates in its entirety the Schedule 13D as set forth below.

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer

Securities acquired: Shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”).

 

  Issuer:  PharmAthene, Inc.

One Park Place

Suite 450

Annapolis, Maryland 21401

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

(a) This Amendment is jointly filed by Prescott Capital, Prescott Small Cap, Prescott Small Cap II and Phil Frohlich. Because Phil Frohlich is the managing member of Prescott Capital, which is the general partner of the Small Cap Funds (with Phil Frohlich and Prescott Capital hereinafter referred to as the “Controlling Persons”), the Controlling Persons may be deemed, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), to be the beneficial owners of all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Small Cap Funds. The Reporting Persons (as hereinafter defined) are filing this Amendment jointly, as they may be considered a “group” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. However, neither the fact of this filing nor anything contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the Reporting Persons that such a group exists.

(b) The principal place of business for each of the Reporting Persons is 1924 South Utica, Suite #1120, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 74104.


(c) The principal occupation of Phil Frohlich is serving as the managing member of Prescott Capital. The principal business of Prescott Capital is acting as the general partner of the Small Cap Funds. The principal business of the Small Cap Funds is investing in securities.

(d) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding were or are subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(f) Prescott Capital and the Small Cap Funds are organized under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. Mr. Frohlich is a citizen of the United States of America.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds

As of November 13, 2013, the Small Cap Funds had invested $9,477,260 (inclusive of brokerage commissions) in shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. The source of these funds was the working capital of the Small Cap Funds.

 

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

The Small Cap Funds (together with Phil Frohlich and Prescott Capital, the “Reporting Persons”) purchased the Common Stock based on the belief that such securities, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Although the Reporting Persons have no specific plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of the Common Stock, consistent with their investment purpose, the Reporting Persons at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Common Stock or dispose of any or all of their Common Stock depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons and/or other investment considerations.

The purpose of the acquisition of the Common Stock was for investment, and the acquisitions of the Common Stock were made in the ordinary course of business and were not made for the purpose of acquiring control of the Issuer or in relation to a contested solicitation for the election of directors of the Issuer.

Also, consistent with the investment purpose, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with one or more shareholders of the Issuer, one or more officers of the Issuer and/or one or more members of the board of directors of the Issuer and/or one or more representatives or regulators of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including, but not limited to, its operations. The Reporting Persons may discuss ideas that, if effected, may result in any of the following: the acquisition by persons of additional Common Stock of the Issuer, an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer and/or changes in the board of directors or management of the Issuer.


On October 10, 2013, the Reporting Persons filed an amendment to the Schedule 13D disclosing their intent to: (1) seek additional disclosures related to the Theraclone Sciences Inc. (“Theraclone”) merger transaction and (2) formally exercise their right under the Issuer’s Bylaws to call a special meeting of the Issuer’s shareholders.

On October 25, 2013, the Issuer filed an amendment to its Form S-4 Registration Statement. The amended S-4 disclosed that an ownership change under section 382 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), is expected as a result of the merger which the Reporting Persons expect will materially limit the value of this significant tax asset. The Reporting Persons further believe that disclosures contained in the Issuer’s amended S-4 related to its SIGA litigation value continue to be wholly inadequate for shareholders to make an informed decision.

On October 30, 2013, the Issuer’s amended S-4 was declared effective, with a scheduled date for the Issuer’s merger related special meeting of stockholders to be held on December 3, 2013. The Issuer has taken the position that the Reporting Person’s agenda items for a separate special meeting requested by the Reporting Persons should be governed by Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the resulting effect that it would be impractical to hold the Reporting Person’s previously requested meeting before the merger vote.

Accordingly, the Reporting Persons have decided to rescind their request for a special meeting of stockholders as detailed in their letter dated October 8, 2013. Alternatively, the Reporting Persons are requesting that the Issuer hold a special meeting on November 29, 2013 at 10:00 am at the Issuer’s headquarters, open to all Issuer’s shareholders physically as well as via internet webcast, to discuss in detail the topics described below:

(1) The valuation analysis performed by Leerink Swann as part of its fairness opinion. Specifically, the sum-of-the-parts valuation of PharmAthene with particular focus on the SIGA litigation value.

(2) The Issuer’s calculations with respect to a “change of ownership” as defined in section 382 of the Code for the periods prior to and pro forma for the proposed Theraclone merger transaction.

(3) The analysis completed by the Issuer’s Board of Directors and its advisors with respect to the ability of Theraclone shareholders to immediately sell a material portion of their PharmAthene shares acquired in the proposed merger transaction.

(4) The analysis completed by the Issuer’s Board of Directors and its advisors to determine the non-binding indication of interest for the outright purchase of PharmAthene received on June 10, 2013 (including any revisions) was “inadequate in significant respects” as disclosed in the Issuer’s amended S-4 filing.

To this end, the Reporting Persons sent the letter attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 to the Issuer on November 10, 2013.


In addition, on November 6, 2013, the Reporting Persons sent a books and records request pursuant to Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware to the Issuer requesting, among other items, all information in the Issuer’s possession relating to the names of the beneficial owners of Issuer’s common stock. Such request is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3. The Reporting Persons intend to use such information in connection with Reporting Person’s contemplated “Vote No” campaign with respect to corporate actions designed to facilitate the merger between Issuer and Theraclone.

Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of the Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) The aggregate percentage of shares of Common Stock reported to be owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon 52,310,913 shares outstanding, which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 1, 2013 pursuant to the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 7, 2013.

As of November 13, 2013, the Small Cap Funds beneficially owned 5,244,835 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 10.0% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

Prescott Capital, as the general partner, of the Small Cap Funds may also be deemed to beneficially own the 5,244,835 shares of Common Stock held by the Small Cap Funds, representing approximately 10.0% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

In addition, Phil Frohlich, as managing member of Prescott Capital, the general partner of the Small Cap Funds, may also be deemed to beneficially own the 5,244,835 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Small Cap Funds, representing approximately 10.0% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

Prescott Capital and Mr. Frohlich disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock held by the Small Cap Funds except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.

(b) By virtue of his position with Prescott Capital and the Small Cap Funds, Phil Frohlich has the sole power to vote and dispose of the shares of Common Stock owned by the Small Cap Funds reported in this Amendment.

The filing of this Amendment on Schedule 13D shall not be construed as admission that Prescott Capital or Mr. Frohlich is for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owner of any of the 5,244,835 shares of Common Stock owned by the Small Cap Funds. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, Prescott Capital and Mr. Frohlich disclaim all such beneficial ownership.

(c) There have been no transactions in the Issuer’s Common Stock since the most recent filing of Schedule 13D.


(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock.

(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The responses to Item 4 are incorporated herein by reference.

Other than as described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons, or between the Reporting Persons and any other person, with respect to the securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits

Exhibit 99.2 Letter to the Issuer from the Reporting Persons dated November 10, 2013.

Exhibit 99.3 Letter to the Issuer from the Reporting Persons dated November 6, 2013.

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of their knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.

Attn: Jordan Karp

Dear Mr. Karp:

Given that the special meeting of stockholders will be held on December 3, 2013 and that PharmAthene, Inc. (“the Company”) has taken the position that Prescott Group Capital Management’s (“Prescott”) proposed resolutions should be governed by Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, with the resulting effect that it is not practical to hold our previously requested meeting before the merger vote, Prescott has decided to rescind its request for a special meeting of stockholders as detailed in our letter dated October 8, 2013. Alternatively, Prescott is requesting that the Company hold a special meeting on November 29, 2013 at 10:00 am at the Company’s headquarters, open to all PharmAthene shareholders physically as well as via internet webcast, to discuss in detail the topics described below:

(1) Discuss the detailed valuation analysis performed by Leerink Swann as part of its fairness opinion. Specifically, discuss the sum-of-the-parts valuation of PharmAthene including all material assumptions and valuations utilized for each of the Company’s “parts”, with particular focus on the SIGA litigation value, which sum to $89 million in aggregate.

(2) Discuss and disclose, as of the record date for the December 3, 2013 special meeting of stockholders, the company’s calculation with respect to a “change of ownership” as defined in section 382 of the internal revenue code in a format consistent with requirements under Treas. Reg. § 1.382-2T(a)(2)(ii) and Treas. Reg. § 1.382-11. In addition, discuss the Company’s pro forma calculation with respect to this section 382 “change of ownership” assuming the Theraclone merger transaction is completed as described in the Company’s amended S-4 filing in a format consistent with requirements under Treas. Reg. § 1.382-2T(a)(2)(ii) and Treas. Reg. § 1.382-11.

(3) Discuss in detail the analysis completed by the Company’s Board of Directors and its advisors with respect to the ability of Theraclone shareholders to immediately sell a material portion of their PharmAthene shares acquired in the proposed merger transaction.

(4) Discuss in detail the analysis completed by the Company’s Board of Directors and its advisors to determine the non-binding indication of interest for the outright purchase of PharmAthene received on June 10, 2013 (including any revisions) was “inadequate in significant respects.”


The reason for conducting the business at the proposed meeting as set forth in items (1) through (4) above is because the undersigned believe that shareholders cannot make an informed decision with respect to each of the proposals to be voted on at the December 3, 2013 special meeting of stockholders without fully understanding the imperative issues outlined in items (1) through (4) above.
