Item 2. | Identity and Background |
SkyePharma PLC, a company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (SkyePharma), hereby amends and supplements its Statement on Schedule 13D, as heretofore amended and supplemented with respect to the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Astralis Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the Issuer). Except as amended and supplemented hereby, SkyePharmas Statement on Schedule 13D as heretofore amended and supplemented remains in full force and effect.
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
Item 3 is supplemented to include the following:
As described in Item 4, SkyePharma has not purchased and does not currently intend to purchase additional shares of the Issuers Common Stock.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 is supplemented to include the following:
SkyePharma has entered into discussions with the Issuer and a group of investors not including SkyePharma (the Investors) in relation to a future investment by the Investors in the Issuer. While these discussions have not resulted in a binding agreement among the Investors, the Issuer and SkyePharma as of January 19, 2007, the terms of any agreement could result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Investors (which could dilute SkyePharmas interest in the Issuer) and other material changes to the Issuers present capitalization, and could also result in changes in the membership of the Issuers Board of Directors.
Following an internal strategic review, SkyePharma no longer views its collaboration with the Issuer as strategic and, as a result, does not intend to obtain or exercise further influence or control over the strategic direction or the operations of the Issuer. SkyePharma has not purchased and does not currently intend to purchase additional shares of the Issuers Common Stock.
Except as set forth in this statement, as of the date of the filing of this statement, neither SkyePharma, nor, to the best of its knowledge and belief any of its executive officers or directors, has any other plan or proposal which relates to or would result in any of the actions specified in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
Item 5 is supplemented to include the following:
SkyePharma beneficially owns (i) 36,393,900 shares of Issuer common stock, or 39.8% of the 91,454,873 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of November 19, 2006, as reported in the Issuers 10-QSB for the period ending September 30, 2006.
Item 6. |
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to
Securities of the Issuer |
Item 6 is supplemented to include the following:
SkyePharma has entered into discussions with the Issuer and the Investors in relation to a future investment by the Investors in the Issuer, as described in Item 4. These discussions have not resulted in a binding agreement as of January 19, 2007.
