Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph at the end of Item 3:

On May 2, 2023, Qiming III purchased an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock of Old Tourmaline (as defined below)for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000.

On June 22, 2023 in connection with the Merger Agreement (as defined below), Qiming III and other unrelated investors entered into a securities purchase agreement with Old Tourmaline (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which Qiming III purchased 1,367,945 shares of common stock of Old Tourmaline for the total purchase price of $2,000,000 (the “Financing Transaction”). The Financing Transaction closed immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. The source of funds for Qiming III’s purchases of shares of Old Tourmaline common and preferred stock was the contribution from Qiming III’s general and limited partners.

On October 19, 2023, the Issuer completed the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 22, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, Tourmaline Bio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Old Tourmaline”) and Terrain Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other matters, Merger Sub merged with and into Old Tourmaline, with Old Tourmaline continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer and the surviving corporation of the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”). In connection with the closing of the Merger Agreement, the Issuer changed its name to Tourmaline Bio, Inc.

Under the terms of the Merger, immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, each share of Old Tourmaline’s preferred stock was converted into one share of Old Tourmaline’s common stock. At the effective time of the Merger, each of these shares was converted based on an exchange ratio of 0.7977 (without giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, as defined below) shares of the Issuer’s common stock for each share of Old Tourmaline common stock.

In connection with the Merger, the Issuer effected a reverse split of its Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), pursuant to which each 10 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were automatically without further action on the part of the Issuer or any holders of such Common Stock, reclassified, combined, converted and changed into one share of Common Stock.

At the effective time of the Merger, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each of McDade’s pre-existing options to purchase shares of Common Stock were accelerated and cancelled. In consideration for such cancellation, McDade received a combination of a cash payment of $8,066 and 518 shares of Common Stock (after giving effect to the reverse stock split) with respect to his pre-existing stock option to purchase 20,500 shares of Common Stock. McDade received no consideration for his pre-existing stock option to purchase 14,501 shares of Common Stock, which option had an exercise price that was greater than the Terrain-In-the-Money Price (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

Following the closing of the Merger, Qiming, Qiming II, Qiming III, McDade and Rieschel directly owned 183,177, 110,083, 348,431, 518, and 5,079 shares of Common Stock, respectively.
