Comments: This amendment updates the scheduling of the previously filed Schedule 13D regarding Revance Therapeutics, Inc. It reports that as of January 6, 2025, a proposal was submitted by Teoxane SA to acquire all outstanding shares of Common Stock at a price of $3.60 per share, which is perceived to be an improvement over an earlier tender offer initiated by Crown Laboratories at $3.10 per share. The proposal indicates a concern that the ongoing acquisition plan undervalues Revance and may not align with shareholder interests. The proposal is characterized as non-binding, preliminarily indicating interest without obligation for further negotiation on definitive terms. It covers potential actions related to corporate restructuring, board changes, and shareholder policies. Additionally, as of January 6, the Reporting Person holds approximately 6.2% of the outstanding shares.
