EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 18, 2020 (the “Original Schedule 13D” and, as amended by this Amendment No. 1, this “Schedule 13D”). On May 11, 2023, the Company (as defined below) effected a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s Common Stock (as defined below) at a ratio of 15:1. The share and per share amounts reported in this Schedule 13D give effect to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented herein, except as otherwise noted.

This Schedule 13D (the “Statement”) relates to the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Venus Concept, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 235 Yorkland Blvd, Suite 9, Toronto, Ontario M2J 4Y8.

(a) This Statement is filed by the following persons (the “Reporting Persons”):

(b) The principal business and principal office address for each of the Reporting Persons is 330 Madison Avenue – Floor 33, New York, NY 10017.

(c)(f) The principal business or occupation of each Reporting Person is as follows:

A list of Madryn’s directors, executive officers and managers (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) is set forth below. To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, each of the Covered Persons that is a natural person is a United States citizen. Other than as set forth below, none of the Reporting Persons have appointed any executive officers or directors:

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

(e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or, to their knowledge, none of the Covered Persons, has been a party to a civil proceeding of any judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of which they 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.

On October 11, 2016, Venus Concept Ltd., a predecessor of the Company, entered into a credit agreement as a guarantor with Health Partners LP, as administrative agent, and the Funds as lenders (as amended, restated supplemented or modified, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Funds agreed to make certain loans to certain of Venus Concept Ltd.’s subsidiaries. On November 7, 2019, in connection with the merger between Restoration Robotics, Inc. and Venus Concept Ltd. (the “Merger”), the Company joined the Credit Agreement as a guarantor.

Prior to the Merger, the Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership in a series of financing transactions of certain equity and equity-linked securities of Venus Concept Ltd which, upon consummation of the Merger, automatically converted into equity securities of the Company. All of the Common Stock held directly by the Funds were acquired from the Company, or its predecessor Venus Concept Ltd., by or on behalf of the Funds using the investment capital of the Funds. The aggregate purchase price of the Common Stock held directly by the Funds was approximately $15,475,268 (excluding brokerage commissions and transaction costs).

In connection with the Credit Agreement, Venus Concept Ltd. issued three types of 10-year warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”). At the effective time of the Merger, each of the outstanding Warrants, whether or not vested, to purchase ordinary shares or preferred shares, as applicable, of Venus Concept Ltd., that was unexercised immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into a warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Warrants are exercisable into 11,995 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $131.625 per share, at any time on or prior to expiration on December 1, 2026.

On December 9, 2020, the Funds acquired $26,695,110.54 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s the secured subordinated convertible notes (the “2020 Convertible Notes”) pursuant to a Securities Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement (the “2020 Exchange Agreement”), dated as of December 8, 2020, pursuant to which the Company repaid $42,500,000 aggregate principal amount owed under the Credit Agreement and issued the 2020 Convertible Notes to the Funds.

On October 4, 2023, the Funds entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “2023 Exchange Agreement”), dated as of October 4, 2023, pursuant to which the Funds exchanged the 2020 Convertible Notes for (i) $22,791,748.32 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s secured subordinated convertible notes (the “2023 Convertible Notes”) and (ii) 248,755 shares of the Company’s Series X Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series X Preferred Stock”). The initial conversion rate of the 2023 Convertible Notes is 41.6666667 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Convertible Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of $24.00 per share of Common Stock. The

conversion rate will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. Each share of Series X Preferred Stock is convertible into ten shares of Common Stock at any time at the option of the holder.

The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 of this Statement is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities reported herein for investment purposes and intend to review their investments in the Company on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including but not limited to the Company’s financial position and strategic direction, price levels of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets, various laws and regulations applicable to the Company and companies in its industry and the Reporting Persons’ ownership in the Company and position as lender to the Company, and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem appropriate, including changing their current intentions, with respect to any or all matters required to be disclosed in this Statement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, acquire or cause affiliates to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (including any combination or derivative thereof), dispose, or cause affiliates to dispose, of some or all of their Common Stock or other securities of the Company or continue to hold, or cause affiliates to hold, Common Stock or other securities of the Company.

In addition, without limitation, the Reporting Persons have and intend to continue to engage from time to time in discussions with management or the board of directors of the Company about its business, operations, strategy, plans and prospects. In addition, without limitation, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the board of directors of the Company, stockholders or other securityholders of the Company and other relevant parties or take other actions concerning any extraordinary corporate transaction (including, but not limited to, a merger, reorganization or liquidation), a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets, a change in the board of directors or management, a material change in the capitalization or dividend policies, other material changes in the Company’s business or corporate structure, changes in the Company’s charter, bylaws or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control, de-listing or de-registration of the Issuer, or similar actions.

Except as set forth herein, or as would occur upon completion of any of the matters discussed herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plans, proposals or intentions which would result in or relate to any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Although the foregoing reflects activities presently contemplated by the Reporting Persons and each other individuals named in Item 2 with respect to the Company, the foregoing is subject to change at any time.

(a)-(b) The Reporting Persons beneficially own in the aggregate 3,561,242 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 39.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Each percentage ownership of shares of Common Stock set forth in this Statement is based on 5,526,481 shares of Common Stock reported by the Company as outstanding as of August 9, 2023 in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 14, 2023 plus the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable on conversion or exercise, as applicable, of the 2023 Convertible Notes, the Warrants and the Series X Preferred Stock.

Each of the Funds directly holds the number and percentage of shares of Common Stock disclosed as beneficially owned by it in the applicable table set forth on the cover page to this Statement. Madryn, as the investment manager for each of the Funds, and Advisors, as the general partner for each of the Funds, may be deemed to have the shared power to direct the voting and disposition of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Funds and, consequently, Madryn and Advisors may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of such shares. Madryn and Advisors disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares for all other purposes.

The responses of the Reporting Persons to rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on the cover pages of this Statement are incorporated herein by reference.

(c) Except as described in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons or, to their knowledge, none of the Covered Persons, has had any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d) None.

(e) Not applicable.

The 2020 Exchange Agreement provided the Madryn Noteholders with certain registration rights related to the shares issuable upon conversion of the 2020 Convertible Notes. The description of the Exchange Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference. The 2023 Exchange Agreement terminated the 2020 Exchange Agreement except with respect to the aforementioned registration rights.

In connection with the 2023 Exchange Agreement, the Funds entered into a Resale Registration Rights Agreement, dated as October 4, 2023, by and among the Company and the Funds (the “2023 Registration Rights Agreement”). The 2023 Registration Rights Agreement provides the Funds with certain registration rights related to the shares issuable upon conversion of the 2023 Convertible Notes and the Series X Preferred Stock. The description of the 2023 Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the 2023 Exchange Agreement, the Funds entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2023, by and among the Company and the Shareholders identified therein (the “Voting Agreement”). The Voting Agreement, which was a condition of the Funds’ entering into the 2023 Exchange Agreement, requires the Shareholders identified therein to vote the securities held by the Shareholders in favor of a proposal approving the transactions contemplated by the 2023 Exchange Agreement.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Reporting Persons have entered into an agreement with respect to the joint filing of this Schedule 13D, which agreement is set forth on the signature page to this Schedule 13D.

Except as described above and herein in this Schedule 13D, there are no other contracts, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the parties named in Item 2 hereto and between such persons and any person with respect to any of the common stock of the Company owned by the Funds.

In accordance with Rule 13d-1(k)(1)(iii) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the persons named below agree to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of this Statement on Schedule 13D with respect to the Common Stock of the Company.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the terms of this Agreement remain as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

- 3 -

4.08. Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each Party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a Party or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such Party at the address set forth on the signature pages hereto and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any Party hereto shall commence a proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing Party in such proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing Party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such proceeding. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

4.09. Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate on the earlier of (a) the occurrence of the Shareholder Approval or (b) the termination of the Exchange Agreement in accordance with its terms (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the termination of this Agreement will not affect the right of any Party to sue for any breach by any other Party (or Parties) prior to the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Article IV shall survive any termination hereof.

4.10 Independent Nature of Shareholders’ Actions and Rights. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Shareholder pursuant hereof or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Shareholders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Shareholders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Shareholder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Shareholder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Shareholder has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Shareholders with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Shareholders. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Shareholder, solely, and not between the Company and the Shareholders collectively and not between and among the Shareholders.
