Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the previously filed Schedule 13D 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.
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.
All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D, as amended. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.
| Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
The disclosure regarding sales in Item 5(c) below is incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 4. | Purpose of the Transaction. |
Item 4 of Schedule 13D is supplemented and amended, as the case may be, as follows:
The disclosure in Item 3 above is incorporated herein by reference.
The Funds hold securities of the Issuer for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons or their affiliates may dispose of additional securities or purchase securities in varying amounts and at varying times depending upon the Reporting Persons’ continuing assessments of pertinent factors, including the availability of Ordinary Shares 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, which could include items in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 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 may make suggestions to the management of the Issuer regarding corporate financing and strategy, and may acquire or dispose of securities of the Issuer (by means of open market purchases, privately negotiated purchases, or otherwise).
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. 1 are incorporated herein by reference. Set forth below is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares of the Issuer directly held by each of the Funds, including Ordinary Shares owned through American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) held by each of the Funds, and the percentage of the Issuer’s outstanding Ordinary Shares such holdings represent. Each American Depositary Share represents one Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. The information set forth below is based upon 17,940,035 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of May 31, 2018 as reported by the Issuer. Such percentage figures are calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
