Item 4.

Purpose of the Transaction.

 

Item 4 of Schedule 13D is supplemented and amended, as the case may be, as follows:

 

This Amendment No. 12 is being filed to report the acquisition of common stock of ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Issuer”) reported in Item 5(c) that resulted in a more than 1 percent change in beneficial ownership. The disclosure regarding the purchases in Item 5(c) below is incorporated herein by reference.

 

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 of directors and management of the Issuer, the availability and nature of opportunities to dispose of shares in the Issuer and other plans and requirements of the particular entities. The Reporting Persons may discuss items of mutual interest with the Issuer, which could include items in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of 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, including shares of common stock (by means of open market purchases, privately negotiated purchases, exercise of some of all of the warrants, exercise of some or all of the Stock Options (defined below), or otherwise) or to dispose of some or all of the securities of the Issuer, including shares of common stock, 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.

  

ITEM 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a) and (b) Items 7 through 11 and 13 of each of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 12 are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Set forth below is the aggregate number of shares of common stock of the Issuer directly held by each of the Funds, which may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, as well as shares of common stock of the Issuer that may be acquired upon exercise of the 2019 Warrants (as defined below) by the Funds, subject to the limitations on exercise described below.

  

Holder		Shares of Common Stock				2019 Warrants
667, L.P.			3,151,020				42,131
Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P.			24,798,117				447,138
14159, L.P.			489,977				10,731
Total			28,439,114				500,000

 

The warrants to acquire common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share with an expiration date of December 17, 2019 (the “2019 Warrants”) are only exercisable to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise the holders thereof and their affiliates would beneficially own, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), no more than 19.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Issuer (“Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). By written notice to the Issuer, the Funds may from time to time increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to that Fund to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99%. Any such change will not be effective until the 65th day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer. As a result of this restriction, the number of shares that may be issued upon exercise of the 2019 Warrants by the above holders may change depending upon changes in the outstanding shares of common stock of the Issuer.

 

 

The Adviser GP, Felix J. Baker and Julian C. Baker as Managing Members of the Adviser GP, and the Adviser may be deemed to be beneficial owners of securities of the Issuer directly held by the Funds, and may be deemed to have the power to vote or direct the vote of and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of such securities.

 

The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities held by each of the Funds, and this Amendment No. 12 shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are the beneficial owners of such securities for purposes of Section 13(d) or for any other purpose.

 

Julian C. Baker and Stephen R. Biggar currently serve on the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) as representatives of the Funds. Julian C. Baker and Dr. Biggar as compensation for their service on the Board, hold options to purchase shares of common stock of the Issuer (“Stock Options”). Julian C. Baker and Dr. Biggar hold 57,500 and 96,500 Stock Options, respectively, of which 46,250 and 85,250, respectively, are vested or will vest within 60 days hereof. The policy of the Funds and the Adviser does not permit Managing Members of the Adviser GP or full-time employees of the Adviser to receive compensation for serving as directors of the Issuer, and the Funds are instead entitled to the pecuniary interest in the Stock Options. Julian C. Baker and Dr. Biggar have no voting or dispositive power and no pecuniary interest in the Stock Options. 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 Stock Options held by Dr. Biggar. The Funds are instead entitled to the pecuniary interest in the Stock Options held by Julian C. Baker and Dr. Biggar. Baker Bros. Advisors LP has voting and investment power over the Stock Options held by Julian C. Baker and Dr. Biggar disclosed herein and in previous amendments to this Schedule 13D.

 

The Adviser GP, and Felix J. Baker and Julian C. Baker as Managing Members of the Adviser GP, may be deemed to have the power to vote or direct the vote of and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the Stock Options held by Julian C. Baker and Dr. Biggar disclosed herein and in previous amendments to this Schedule 13D.

 

(c) The following transactions in the Issuer’s Common Stock were effected by the Funds noted below during the sixty days preceding the filing of this statement using working capital of the applicable Fund. All purchase transactions were effected in the open market directly with a broker-dealer. Except as disclosed herein or in any previous amendments to this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons or their affiliates has effected any other transactions in securities of the Issuer during the past 60 days.
