Item 1.

Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to Schedule 13D supplements and amends the Statement on Schedule 13D of OrbiMed Advisors LLC, OrbiMed Capital GP III LLC and Samuel D. Isaly originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 26, 2016 (the “Statement”) and amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on January 20, 2017 (“Amendment No. 1”).  The Statement relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of ViewRay, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Issuer”), with its principal executive offices located at 2 Thermo Fisher Way, Oakwood Village, OH 44146.  The Shares are listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the ticker symbol “VRAY.” Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.

On March 17, 2017, the Issuer filed its Form 10-K for the annual period ended December 31, 2016, which indicated that the Issuer had increased its total number of outstanding Shares to 55,489,939 (the “Outstanding Share Increase”).  As a result of the Outstanding Share Increase, the percentage of outstanding Shares that the Reporting Persons (as defined below) may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of was reduced by more than one percent of the Issuer’s Shares outstanding since the filing of Amendment No. 1.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The Shares and Warrants initially have been acquired by the Reporting Persons for the purpose of making an investment in the Issuer and not with the intention of acquiring control of the Issuer’s business on behalf of OPI III or Associates III.

The Reporting Persons from time to time intend to review their investment in the Issuer on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer’s Shares in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities.  Based upon such review, the Reporting Persons will take such actions in the future as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time.  If the Reporting Persons believe that further investment in the Issuer is attractive, whether because of the market price of the Shares or otherwise, they may acquire Shares or other securities of the Issuer either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.  Similarly, depending on market and other factors, the Reporting Persons may determine to dispose of some or all of the Shares currently owned by the Reporting Persons or otherwise acquired by the Reporting Persons either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

Except as set forth in this Amendment No. 2, the Reporting Persons have not formulated any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board, (e) any material change in the Issuer’s capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, (g) any change in the Issuer’s charter or bylaws or other instrument corresponding thereto or other action which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (h) causing a class of the Issuer’s securities to be deregistered or delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) — (b)  As of the date of this filing, Advisors, GP III and Isaly may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, directly or indirectly, including by reason of their mutual affiliation, to be the beneficial owners of the Shares.  Based upon information contained in the Issuer’s Form 10-K, dated March 17, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2017, such Shares deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by GP III constitutes approximately 17.5% of the issued and outstanding Shares, and such Shares deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by Advisors and Isaly constitutes approximately 17.7% of the issued and outstanding Shares.  Advisors, pursuant to its authority as the sole managing member of GP III, which is the sole general partner of OPI III, and as the sole general partner of Associates III, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the Shares held by OPI III and Associates III.  GP III, pursuant to its authority as the general partner of OPI III, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the Shares held by OPI III.  Isaly, pursuant to his authority as the managing member of Advisors and owner of a controlling interest in Advisors, pursuant to its limited liability company agreement, may be deemed to also indirectly beneficially own the Shares attributable to Advisors.

As a result, Isaly, Advisors and GP III share the power to direct the vote and the disposition of the Shares held by OPI III described in Item 6 below, and Isaly and Advisors share the power to direct the vote and the disposition of the Shares held by Associates III.

In addition, Advisors and GP III, pursuant to their authority under the limited partnership agreements of OPI III and/or Associates III, prior to the date of this filing, caused OPI III and Associates III, as applicable, to enter into the agreements referred to in Item 6 below.

(c)          None of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction during the past sixty (60) days in any Shares.

(d)          Not applicable.

(e)          Not applicable.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationship with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

In addition to the relationships between the Reporting Persons described in Items 2, 3 and 5 above, GP III is the sole general partner of OPI III, pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of OPI III.  Advisors is the sole managing member of GP III, pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company agreement of GP III, and the sole general partner of Associates III, pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of Associates III.  Pursuant to these agreements and relationships, Advisors and GP III have discretionary investment management authority with respect to the assets of OPI III, and Advisors has discretionary investment management authority with respect to the assets of Associates III.  Such authority includes the power of GP III and Advisors to vote and otherwise dispose of securities purchased by OPI III, and the power of Advisors to vote and otherwise dispose of securities purchased by Associates III.  The number of outstanding Shares held of record by OPI III is 9,369,342, and the number of outstanding Shares held of record by Associates III is 89,225.  Advisors may be considered to hold indirectly 9,458,567 Shares, and GP III may be considered to hold indirectly 9,369,342 Shares.

David Bonita (“Bonita”), an employee of Advisors, has been a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer since January 2008, and, accordingly, the Reporting Persons may have the ability to affect and influence control of the Issuer.  From time to time, Bonita may receive stock options or other awards of equity‑based compensation pursuant to the Issuer’s compensation arrangements for non‑employee directors.  Bonita is obligated to transfer any Shares issued under any such stock options or other awards, or the economic benefit thereof, to the Reporting Persons, which will in turn ensure that such Shares or economic benefits are provided to OPI III and Associates III.

Stockholders’ Agreement

In connection with the Private Placement, OPI III and Associates III and the other Participants entered into a stockholders’ agreement with the Issuer (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Issuer agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC within 60 days after the closing of the Private Placement for purposes of registering the resale of the Shares, the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and any shares of common stock issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Shares or shares underlying the Warrants. The Issuer agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause this registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 150 days after the closing of the Private Placement. The Issuer also agreed, among other things, to indemnify the selling holders under the registration statements from certain liabilities and to pay all fees and expenses (excluding underwriting discounts and selling commissions and all legal fees of any selling holder) incident to the Company’s obligations under the Stockholders’ Agreement.
