The Statement relates to the common shares, no par value per share (the “Shares”), of Fusion Pharmaceuticals Inc., a corporation organized under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Issuer”), with its principal executive offices located at 270 Longwood Road South, Hamilton, ON L8P 0A6. The Shares are listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “FUSN”. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.

Accordingly, this Amendment No. 2 constitutes the final amendment to the Statement and an exit filing for the Reporting Persons.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

 

(a) This Schedule 13D is being filed by OrbiMed Advisors LLC (“OrbiMed Advisors”), OrbiMed Capital GP VII LLC (“OrbiMed GP”) and OrbiMed Capital LLC (“OrbiMed Capital”) (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

 

(b) — (c), (f) OrbiMed Advisors, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware and a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, is the managing member or general partner of certain entities as more particularly described in Item 6 below. OrbiMed Advisors has its principal offices at 601 Lexington Avenue, 54th Floor, New York, New York 10022.

(i)          name;

 

(ii)         business address;

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

 

The Shares originally acquired by the Reporting Persons were acquired 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 the Reporting Persons’ respective advisory clients.

 

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 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 Schedule 13D, 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) The following disclosure is based upon 63,846,009 Shares outstanding of the Issuer as set forth in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on May 11, 2023.

 

As of the date of this filing, OrbiMed Private Investments VII, L.P. (“OPI VII”), a limited partnership organized under the laws of Delaware, holds 2,930,670 Shares, constituting approximately 4.6% of the issued and outstanding Shares. OrbiMed GP is the general partner of OPI VII, pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of OPI VII, and OrbiMed Advisors is the managing member of OrbiMed GP, pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company agreement of OrbiMed GP. As a result, OrbiMed Advisors and OrbiMed GP share power to direct the vote and disposition of the Shares held by OPI VII and may be deemed directly or indirectly, including by reason of their mutual affiliation, to be the beneficial owners of the Shares held by OPI VII. OrbiMed Advisors exercises this investment and voting power through a management committee comprised of Carl L. Gordon, Sven H. Borho, and W. Carter Neild, each of whom disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares held by OPI VII.

 

In addition, OrbiMed Advisors and OrbiMed GP, pursuant to their authority under the limited partnership agreement of OPI VII, caused OPI VII to enter into the agreements referred to in Item 6 below.

 

As of the date of this filing, OrbiMed Partners Master Fund Limited (“OPM”), an exempted company organized under the laws of Bermuda, holds 192,100 Shares constituting approximately 0.3% of the issued and outstanding Shares. OrbiMed Capital is the investment advisor of OPM. As a result, OrbiMed Capital has the power to direct the vote and disposition of the Shares held by OPM and may be deemed directly or indirectly, including by reason of mutual affiliation, to be the beneficial owner of the Shares held by OPM. OrbiMed Capital disclaims any beneficial ownership over the shares of the other Reporting Persons. OrbiMed Capital exercises this investment and voting power through a management committee comprised of Carl L. Gordon, Sven H. Borho, and W. Carter Neild, each of whom disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares held by OPM.

 

(c) Not applicable.

 

(d) Not applicable.

 

(e) As of May 11, 2023, the Reporting Persons are believed to have ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of the outstanding Shares.

 

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

In addition to the relationships between the Reporting Persons described in Items 2 and 5 above, OrbiMed GP is the general partner of OPI VII, pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of OPI VII. Pursuant to this agreement and relationship, OrbiMed GP has discretionary investment management authority with respect to the assets of OPI VII. Such authority includes the power to vote and otherwise dispose of securities held by OPI VII. The number of outstanding Shares of the Issuer attributable to OPI VII is 2,930,670 Shares.

OrbiMed Advisors is the managing member of OrbiMed GP, pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company agreement of OrbiMed GP. Pursuant to these agreements and relationships, OrbiMed Advisors and OrbiMed GP have discretionary investment management authority with respect to the assets of OPI VII.

Investors’ Rights Agreement

In addition, OPI VII and certain other stockholders of the Issuer entered into an Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement with the Issuer (the “Investors’ Rights Agreement”), dated as of March 25, 2019. Pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions therein, the parties agreed that:

 

Demand Registration Rights

 

At any time beginning six months following the date of the effective date of the registration statement of the Issuer’s initial public offering, the holders of at least a majority of the registrable securities then outstanding of the Issuer may make a written request that the Issuer register some or all of their registrable securities, subject to certain specified conditions and exceptions, including that the aggregated gross offering price of such offering must exceed $5 million. The Issuer is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and will pay all registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, related to any demand registration. The Issuer is not obligated to effect more than two of these registrations.

 

Piggyback Registration Rights

 

Whenever the Issuer proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act, including a registration statement on Form S-3 as discussed below, other than with respect to a demand registration or a registration statement on Forms S-4 or S-8, OPI VII will be entitled to notice of the registration and have the right, subject to limitations that the underwriters may impose on the number of Shares included in the registration, to include the Shares held by OPI VII in the registration.

 

Form S-3 Registration Rights

 

At any time after the Issuer is qualified to file a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, and subject to limitations and conditions specified in the Investors’ Rights Agreement, holders of at least 20% of the registrable securities then outstanding may make a written request that the Issuer prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-3 covering their Shares, so long as the aggregate price to the public equal or exceeds $2 million. The Issuer is not obligated to effect more than two of these Form S-3 registrations in any 12-month period.

 

The foregoing description of the Investors’ Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Investors’ Rights Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference.
