This is a bit of a sleeper, easy to skim and miss some interesting nuggets.

It is the first amendment to a 13D filed by the same consortium on 12/5/14.

First, one might be mislead by the nominal filer name "Gary Wilcox." It was thus styled in 2014 and again in 2018.

And this is actually the list of who was filing jointly in both cases:

Raymond F. Schinazi
Gary Wilcox
Roger Kornberg
Sam Lee
19805 North Creek Parkway
Bothell, Washington, 98011
(425) 398-7178

Phillip Frost, M.D.
Frost Gamma Investments Trust
OPKO Health, Inc.
Steven D. Rubin
4400 Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 1500
Miami, Florida 33137
(305) 575-6015

Bracrystal Pharmaceuticals, LLC
155 Gibbs Street
Suite 506
Rockville, Maryland 20850
(240) 403-7153

November 25, 2014
(Date of Event which Requires Filing of this Statement)

Easy enough to see who among the above are aligned with familiar companies but for Bracrystal Pharmaceuticals, LLC.

Searching the usual sources, such as Bloomberg, for info on this entity, one gets zip. But there was somebody on the ball back in 2014 who came up with:

COCP now 71.7% owned by insiders! Brace Pharma and Cocrystal = Bracrystal Pharma? I believe so imo and look at Brace Pharma a company created by EMS the #1 Pharmaceutical company in Brazil.

Bracystals now owns 3.8% of COCP

www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=10345212

COCP is now 71.7% owned by insiders

Raymond Schinazi - 38.9%
Frost and Frost Gamma - 14.3%
OPKO - 7.8%
Bracystal Pharma - 3.8%
Gary Wilcox - 2.4%
Roger Kronberg - 2.2%
Sam Lee - 2.2%
Steve Rubin - 0.1%

From Bracrystals address you get a company called Brace Pharma, and look who is on the Board of Directors, Raymond F. Schinazi Ph.D., D.Sc. I believe that Brace Pharma and Cocyrstal joined to create a new company called Bracrystal Pharmaceuticals. You can see the information on the website. Brace Pharma the U.S. affiliate company of EMS, which is the #1 Pharma company in Brazil.

www.bracepharma.com/about-us/board-of-directors

Brace Pharmaceuticals, LLC is a strategic investment company formed by EMS S/A, the largest pharmaceutical company in Brazil, and high net worth biotech investors. We invest in innovative, life changing therapies for diseases with a high degree of unmet medical need and insufficient treatment options.

Well, that is interesting enough, but what is equally interesting is this joint filing by individuals, public companies, and a private company. Can't say I've seen something like this before.

Now, here is a link to all (3 in number) 13D(/A)s thus far filed for COCP:

www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0001412486&type=SC+13D&dateb=&owner=include&count=40

But the two "in play" are the first two. Both are nominally filed by Gary Wilcox, but both are the same consortium of investors as featured above.

This is the original 13D Filed by Gary Wilcox

This is the Joint Filing Agreement to that 13D Note the signator for Bracrystal is Vinzenz Ploerer.

Brace Pharmaceuticals Board of Directors Note that Schinazi is on the board and Ploerer is the CEO.

This is the 13D/A Showing the Current Holdings of the Consortium and again filed by Gary Wilcox.

Comparing the earlier to the later filing, one must first recall the 1 for 30 reverse split. Next, one must read the footnotes which detail such things as the inclusion of rights to conversion of Series A shares to common and options. So, it's not just a matter of raw numbers.

All in all, it's like the proverbial iceberg....what one can easily see is just the tip.
