Amendment No. 4

 

This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the previously filed Schedules 13D filed by Baker Bros. Advisors LP (the “Adviser”), Baker Bros. Advisors (GP), LLC (the “Adviser GP”), Julian C. Baker, Felix J. Baker and FBB3 LLC (“FBB3”) (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 the 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 over 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 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

(a) and (b) Items 7 through 11 and 13 of each of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 4 are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Set forth below is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares of BeiGene, Ltd. (the “Issuer”) directly held by the Funds, 155,477,712 of which are directly held by the Funds through Americal Depositary Shares (“ADS”), along with the percentage of the Issuer’s outstanding Ordinary Shares such holdings represent. Each ADS represents 13 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. The information set forth below is based on 698,942,730 Ordinary Shares outstanding at March 31, 2018 as reported in the Issuer’s Prospectus filed with the SEC on July 27, 2018. Such percentage figures are calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Michael Goller and Ranjeev Krishana, full-time employees of the Adviser, have served on the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) since April 21, 2015 and October 7, 2014, respectively. Prior to serving on the Board, Michael Goller was a Board observer. Michael Goller and Ranjeev Krishana currently serve on the Board as representatives of the Funds. Michael Goller and Ranjeev Krishana each hold 199,992 options to purchase ordinary shares of the Issuer (“Stock Options”) received in connection with their service on the Board. These Stock Options vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the date of grant, which was April 19, 2017 (“Grant Date”) and shall become exercisable in full on the date of the third annual meeting of shareholders following the Grant Date. On June 6, 2018, Michael Goller and Ranjeev Krishana each were granted 9,290 Restricted Stock Units (“RSU’s”) and 17,442 options to purchase Ordinary Shares (“2018 Stock Options”) in connection with their service on the Board.

The 2018 Stock Options are exercisable at $16.15 per Ordinary Share and vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the date of the next annual meeting of shareholders. The 2018 Stock Options expire June 5, 2028. The policy of the Funds and the Adviser does not permit principals 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 any compensation received for their service.

 

Julian C. Baker and Felix J. Baker are also the sole managers of FBB3 and by policy they do not transact in or vote the securities of the Issuer held by FBB3.

 

 

 

 

The Adviser GP, Felix J. Baker and Julian C. Baker as principals 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. 4 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, except to the extent that any such Reporting Persons actually exercises voting or dispositive power with respect to such securities.

 

(c) Except as disclosed herein, none of the Reporting Persons or their affiliates has effected any other transactions in securities of the Issuer during the past 60 days.

 

(d) Certain securities of the Issuer are held directly by 667, a limited partnership the sole general partner of which is Baker Biotech Capital, L.P., a limited partnership the sole general partner of which is Baker Biotech Capital (GP), LLC.

Item 6 of this Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented and amended, as the case may be, as follows:

 

On July 26, 2018, the Adviser entered into a Cornerstone Investment Agreement (the “Cornerstone Agreement”) with the Issuer, Morgan Stanley Asia Limited and Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C. Under the Cornerstone Agreement, the Funds agreed to purchase up to $80 million of Ordinary Shares in the Issuer’s Hong Kong public offering at the Offer price (the “Offering”).
