Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D
This Amendment No. 7 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 amended, as the case may be, as follows:
The disclosure in Item 5 below is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
Item 4 of this Amendment No. 7 is supplemented and amended, as the case may be, as follows:
This Amendment No. 7 is being filed to report the acquisition of voting common stock (“Common Stock”) of IGM Biosciences, 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 of the Issuer (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 make suggestions to the management of the Issuer regarding financing, and may acquire additional securities of the Issuer (by means of open market purchases, privately negotiated purchases, conversion of some or 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 restricted stock units (each an “RSU”), Stock Options (as defined in Item 5), Pre-funded Warrants (as defined in Item 5) subject to limitations on exercise described in Item 5, 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.
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 Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.
The information set forth in Item 4 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.
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 that may be acquired upon conversion of non-voting common stock of the Issuer (“Non-Voting Common Stock”) and shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of pre-funded warrants to purchase Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share with no expiration date (the “Pre-funded Warrants”), subject to the limitations on conversion and exercise described below.
| Holder | Common Stock | Non-Voting Common Stock | Pre-funded Warrants | |||||||||
| 667, L.P. | 332,848 | 834,707 | 49,820 | |||||||||
| Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. | 3,739,162 | 9,886,217 | 616,846 | |||||||||
| Total | 4,072,010 | 10,720,924 | 666,666 | |||||||||
The Non-Voting Common Stock is only convertible into Common Stock to the extent that immediately prior to or after giving effect to such conversion the holders thereof, together with their affiliates and any members of a Section 13(d) group with such holders would beneficially own, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), no more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) following such conversion. 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. Any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer. As a result of this restriction, the number of shares that may be issued upon conversion of the Non-Voting Common Stock by the above holders may change depending upon changes in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Non-Voting Common Stock is not currently convertible due to the effect of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
The Pre-funded Warrants are only exercisable into Common Stock to the extent that immediately prior to or after giving effect to such exercise the holders thereof, together with their affiliates and any members of a Section 13(d) group with such holders would beneficially own, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the the Exchange Act, no more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Maximum Percentage”) following such exercise. By written notice to the Issuer, the Funds may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage applicable to that Fund to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99%. Any such increase will not be effective until the 61st 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 Pre-funded Warrants by the above holders may change depending upon changes in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Pre-funded Warrants are not currently exercisable due to the effect of such restriction and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
Dr. Kelvin M. Neu, a former full-time employee of the Adviser holds options to purchase Common Stock of the Issuer (“Stock Options”) as compensation for his previous service on the Board, including 6,723 Stock Options at an exercise price of $16.00 per share expiring September 17, 2029, all of which have vested. Dr Neu also holds 2,527 Stock Options at an exercise price of $40.27 per share expiring February 5, 2030, received as compensation from his previous service on the Board all of which are vested.
Stock Options previously granted by the Issuer to Dr. Neu in respect of Dr. Neu’s past Board service were amended to provide that, with respect to 9,250 then 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 service on the Board such Unvested Options are vested as of the date of this filing in accordance with the terms of the applicable stock option agreements, as amended by the Options Amendment.
Felix J. Baker holds 6,423 vested Stock Options at an exercise price of $91.50 per share expiring February 19, 2031, 29,497 vested Stock Options at an exercise price of $17.11 per share expiring March 12, 2032 and 15,500 Stock Options at an exercise price of $12.86 per share expiring April 4, 2033 of which 14,208 are vested as of sixty days following the date of this filing, each of which he received as compensation for his service on the Board.
On March 12, 2024, Felix J. Baker was granted 29,400 Stock Options under the Issuer's Amended and Restated 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan at an exercise price of $9.95 per share: one-twelfth of such Stock Options vest each month following the Issuer's 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“2024 Annual Meeting”), subject to Felix J. Baker's continued service on the Board. However, if the Issuer's 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is prior to the one-year anniversary of the 2024 Annual Meeting, the Stock Options will be fully vested as of such date. These options expire March 12, 2034. None of these Stock Options are vested as of sixty days following the date of this filing,
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 and Felix J. Baker’s current service.
The Adviser directly holds 892 shares of Common Stock vested from RSUs solely payable in Common Stock received in lieu of director retainer fees for past service on the Board and 11,210 shares of Common Stock received from the exercise of Stock Options. Felix J. Baker directly holds 2,216 shares of Common Stock vested from RSUs received in lieu of director retainer fees for service on the Board.
The Adviser has voting and investment power over the Stock Options, RSUs, Common Stock and Common Stock underlying such Stock Options and Common Stock received from the exercise of Stock Options by Dr. Neu as director’s compensation. 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, RSUs, Common Stock, Common Stock received from the exercise of Stock Options and Common Stock underlying such Stock Options held by Dr. Neu received as director’s compensation.
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.
(c) The following transactions in Common Stock were effected by the Funds during the sixty days preceding the filing of this statement using their working capital. All transactions were effected in the over-the-counter market directly with a broker-dealer. None of the Reporting Persons or their affiliates has effected any other transactions in Common Stock during this period.
