Amendment No. 10 to Schedule 13D

 

This Amendment No. 10 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the statements on 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 FBB2, LLC (“FBB2”) (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”), 14159, L.P. (“14159”), and 667, L.P. (“667”, and together with Life Sciences and 14159, the “Funds”), and their respective general partners, 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 Schedule 13D is supplemented and amended, as the case may be, as follows:

 

The disclosure in Item 4 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:

On May 14, 2014 the Adviser acquired beneficial ownership of 10,000 shares of common stock of Seattle Genetics, Inc. (the “Issuer”), as a result of the exercise of 10,000 options to purchase the Issuer’s common stock at $7.26 per share (the “Exercised Stock Options”) held directly by Felix J. Baker. Felix J. Baker currently serves on the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) as a representative of the Funds. The policy of the Funds and the Adviser does not permit 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 Exercised Stock Options. Felix J. Baker, as an agent in his capacity as a director of the Issuer, entered into a proceeds agreement (the “Proceeds Agreement”) with the Adviser on May 12, 2014. Pursuant to the Proceeds Agreement, Felix J. Baker agreed that, with respect to the Exercised Stock Options and the common stock received as a result of the exercise of the Exercised Stock Options (the “Common Stock”) on May 14, 2014, the Adviser will have dispositive power as well as the ability to control the timing of exercise of the Exercised Stock Options and that any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock will be remitted to the Adviser net of brokerage commissions. 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 Exercised Stock Options or the Common Stock. Pursuant to the Proceeds Agreement, the Adviser funded Felix J. Baker’s exercise of the Exercised Stock Options through loans from the Funds (the “Loan Agreements”). The total amount expended on acquiring the Common Stock was $72,600.

 

In order to effect the exercise of the Exercised Stock Options, on May 12, 2014, the Adviser entered into the Loan Agreements with the Funds pursuant to which the Funds loaned an amount totaling $72,600 to the Adviser for the purpose of acquiring the Common Stock. The loan is due May 12, 2044, or earlier if the Common Stock are sold (“Due Date”), with interest payable through the Due Date at a rate of 3.32% annually.

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 or all of the Stock Options (as 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. 10 are incorporated herein by reference.
