Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D
This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the statements on the previously filed Schedule 13D, as amended, filed by Baker Bros. Advisors LP (the “Adviser”), Baker Bros. Advisors (GP) LLC (the “Adviser GP”), Julian C. Baker, and Felix J. Baker (collectively the “Reporting Persons”). Except as supplemented herein, such statements, as heretofore amended and supplemented, remain in full force and effect. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable. Each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Schedule 13D, as amended.
The Adviser GP is the sole general partner of the Adviser. Pursuant to management agreements, as amended, among the Adviser, Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. (“Life Sciences”), and 667, L.P. (“667”, and together with Life Sciences, the “Funds”), and their respective general partners, the Funds’ respective general partners relinquished to the Adviser all discretion and authority with respect to the investment and voting power of the securities held by the Funds, and thus the Adviser has complete and unlimited discretion and authority with respect to the Funds’ investments and voting power over investments.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded, as the case may be, as follows:
The disclosure in Item 4 below is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded, as the case may be, as follows:
On January 23, 2021, Dr. Kelvin M. Neu, a former full-time employee of the Adviser, resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of IGM Biosciences, Inc. (the “Issuer”) effective January 26, 2021. Effective on January 26, 2021, the Board appointed Felix J. Baker, a managing member of the Adviser GP, to fill the vacancy on the Board as a Class III Director. Felix J. Baker shall hold office for a term expiring at the 2022 Annual Meeting of the Issuer’s stockholders. Felix J. Baker will serve on the Board as the designee of the Funds pursuant to that certain Nominating Agreement, dated as of June 28, 2019, by and between the Issuer and the Funds (the “Nominating Agreement”). The foregoing description of the Nominating Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Nominating Agreement, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99.2, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Dr. Neu held options to purchase Common Stock of the Issuer (“Stock Options”) as compensation for his previous service on the Board including 12,100 Stock Options at an exercise price of $16.00 per share of which 1/3 vested on September 17, 2020 with an additional 1/36 of the shares vesting monthly thereafter. Dr Neu also held 10,000 Stock Options at an exercise price of $40.27 per share 1/12 of the shares vesting monthly beginning July 9, 2020 received as compensation from his previous service on the Board, 1,640 of which Dr. Neu forfeited as a result of his resignation from the Board
In connection with Dr. Neu’s resignation and Felix J. Baker’s appointment to the Board, Stock Options previously granted by the Issuer to Dr. Neu in respect of Dr. Neu’s Board service were amended to provide that, with respect to 9,250 unvested shares subject to such options (the “Unvested Options”), so long as an individual designated by the Funds pursuant to the Nominating Agreement is serving as an outside director of the Issuer, Dr. Neu will be deemed to remain a service provider to the Issuer (the “Options Amendment”). Therefore, with Felix J. Baker’s appointment to the Board, such Unvested Options will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the applicable stock option agreements, as amended by the Options Amendment.
Felix J. Baker declined the grant of the initial award of a Stock Option that he would otherwise have been entitled to under the terms of the director compensation policy in connection with his appointment to the Board.
Dr. Neu previously served on the Board and Felix J. Baker currently serves on the Board. The policy of the Funds and the Adviser does not permit current or previous full-time employees of the Adviser and managing members of the Adviser GP to receive compensation for serving as a director of the Issuer, and the Funds are instead entitled to the pecuniary interest in any compensation received for Dr. Neu’s past service and Felix J. Baker’s current service.
The Adviser directly holds 892 shares of Common Stock vested from restricted stock units (“RSUs”) solely payable in Common Stock received in lieu of director retainer fees for past service on the Board.
On January 27, 2021, the Adviser acquired beneficial ownership of 11,210 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, as a result of the exercise of 11,210 Stock Options, 5,377 at an exercise price of $16.00 per share expiring September 18, 2029 and 5,833 with an exercise price of $40.27 per share expiring February 5, 2030 (the “Exercised Stock Options”) held directly by Dr. Neu. Dr. Neu, as a former full-time employee of the Adviser and former director of the Issuer, entered into a Nominee Agreement (the “Nominee Agreement”) with the Adviser on January 23, 2021. Pursuant to the Nominee Agreement, Dr. Neu agreed that, with respect to the Stock Options, the Exercised Stock Options and the Common Stock received as a result of the exercise of the Exercised Stock Options, the Adviser will have dispositive power as well as the ability to control the timing of exercise of the Exercised Stock Options and that any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock will be remitted to the Adviser net of brokerage commissions for the ultimate benefit of the Funds consistent with the policies of the Adviser for current employees. Other than through their control of the Adviser, Felix J. Baker and Julian C. Baker have neither voting nor dispositive power and have no direct pecuniary interest in the Exercised Stock Options or the Common Stock. Pursuant to the Nominate Agreement, the Adviser funded Dr. Neu’s exercise of the Exercised Stock Options. The total amount expended on acquiring the Common Stock was $320,926.91.
Subsequent to the acquisition of the Exercised Stock Options and the forfeiture of certain Stock Options, Dr. Neu holds 9,250 Stock Options, of which 1,682 will vest within 60 days hereof.
The Funds hold securities of the Issuer for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons or their affiliates may purchase additional securities or dispose of securities in varying amounts and at varying times depending upon the Reporting Persons’ continuing assessments of pertinent factors, including the availability of shares of Common Stock or other securities for purchase at particular price levels, the business prospects of the Issuer, other business investment opportunities, economic conditions, stock market conditions, money market conditions, the attitudes and actions of the Board and management of the Issuer, the availability and nature of opportunities to dispose of securities of the Issuer and other plans and requirements of the particular entities. . The Reporting Persons may discuss items of mutual interest with the Issuer’s management, other members of the Board and other investors, which could include items in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 Schedule 13D.
Depending upon their assessments of the above factors, the Reporting Persons or their affiliates may change their present intentions as stated above and they may assess whether to make suggestions to the management of the Issuer regarding financing, and whether to acquire additional securities of the Issuer (by means of open market purchases, privately negotiated purchases, conversion of some of all of the Non-Voting Common Stock (as defined in Item 5), subject to limitations on exercise described in Item 5, exercise of some or all of the RSU’s, Stock Options, Pre-funded Warrants or otherwise) or to dispose of some or all of the securities of the Issuer under their control.
Except as otherwise disclosed herein, at the present time, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals with respect to any extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer including, without limitation, those matters described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
