        <hasBeenConvicted>During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).</hasBeenConvicted>
        <convictionDescription>During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding 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.</convictionDescription>
        <citizenship>The Reporting Persons have entered into a Joint Filing Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, a copy of which is filed with this Schedule 13D as Exhibit 1, pursuant to which the Reporting Persons have agreed to file this statement jointly in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-1(k) under the Act.  Neither the present filing nor anything contained herein shall be construed as an admission that FHI constitutes a "person" for any purposes other than Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

      <item3>
        <fundsSource>As of October 21, 2025, FHI, the parent company of an Advisory Subsidiary that is the investment adviser to certain client accounts, held beneficial ownership of 1,351,275 shares of Minerva Neurosciences, Inc. (the "Issuer") acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $62,384,163.53, and pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 350,350 shares of the Issuer's common stock.  The pre-funded warrants are excluded from the amount reported as beneficially owned because they are subject to limitations on exercisability if such exercise would result in beneficial ownership of more than 14.99% of the Issuer's outstanding common stock. Additionally, the Private Placement Securities (as defined in Item 4, below) are excluded from the amount reported as beneficially owned because the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are not convertible into shares of common stock until the Issuer's stockholders approve the issuance of all common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued in the Private Placement and underlying the exercise of Tranche A Warrants and the Tranche B Warrants. Additionally, the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are subject to limitations on exercisability if such conversion would result in beneficial ownership of more than 9.99% of the Issuer's outstanding common stock; however, concurrently with the closing of the Private Placement, each client account referenced above delivered a notice to the Issuer to increase its beneficial ownership limitation applicable to such client and such client's affiliates, subject to the terms of the notice, with respect to the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to 19.90%, to be effective December 23, 2025.  The acquisitions described above, including the acquisition of the Private Placement Securities, were made for investment purposes with available funds of the applicable client accounts in the ordinary course of business of the Advisory Subsidiary.  Transactions made for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business of the Advisory Subsidiary are undertaken solely for the benefit of the applicable client account.</fundsSource>
      </item3>
      <item4>
        <transactionPurpose>The shares of the Issuer were originally acquired separately by certain mutual funds (the "Managed Funds") advised by an Advisory Subsidiary of FHI for investment in the ordinary course of business and not with the purpose nor with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer.  A Schedule 13G with respect to such acquisition was previously filed with the Commission on January 18, 2024.   On October 21, 2025, the Issuer entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with certain accredited investors (the "Investors"), acting severally and not jointly, including the Managed Funds, pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement (the "Private Placement") Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, tranche A warrants to acquire shares of Series A Preferred Stock ("Tranche A Warrants") and tranche B warrants to acquire shares of Series A Preferred Stock ("Tranche B Warrants") for an aggregate offering price of up to $200 million. The closing of the Private Placement occurred on October 23, 2025. In the Private Placement, the Managed Funds separately acquired an aggregate of 8,500 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock exercisable for 4,020,500  shares of common stock, Tranche A Warrants exercisable for 8,500 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and Tranche B Warrants exercisable for 4,250 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (such securities, collectively, the "Private Placement Securities").  Concurrently with the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement and as a condition to closing of the Private Placement, each of the Managed Funds entered into a support agreement (each, a "Support Agreement" and, collectively, the "Support Agreements") providing, among other things, that such stockholders will vote all of their shares of common stock: in favor of (i) the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) an increase to the reserved shares under the Issuer's Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, and (iii) other customary annual stockholder meeting matters (together, the "Proposals"), and against any proposal that conflicts or materially impedes or interferes with the approval of any of the Proposals or that would adversely affect or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement. Additionally, pursuant to the Support Agreements, each Managed Fund is restricted from selling or otherwise transferring any of its voting securities in the Issuer prior to the stockholder meeting at which the Proposals will be voted upon.  A form of Support Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2 hereto. The foregoing summary of the terms of the Support Agreements is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Support Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.</transactionPurpose>
