Amendment No. 29 to Schedule 13D

 

This Amendment No. 29 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, Felix J. Baker, FBB2, LLC (“FBB2”), FBB3 LLC (“FBB3”) and FBB Associates (“FBB”). Except as supplemented herein, such statements, as hereto 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 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Item 4 of Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded, as the case may be, as follows:

 

On May 7, 2024 the Adviser acquired beneficial ownership of 15,000 shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of Incyte Corporation (the “Issuer”), as a result of the exercise of 15,000 options to purchase Common Stock at $49.01 per share (the “Exercised Stock Options”) held directly by Julian C. Baker. Julian C. 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 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 Exercised Stock Options. Julian C. 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 7, 2024. Pursuant to the Proceeds Agreement, Julian C. 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 on May 7, 2024, 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 over and have no direct pecuniary interest in, the Exercised Stock Options or the Common Stock. Pursuant to the Proceeds Agreement, the Adviser funded Julian C. Baker’s exercise of the Exercised Stock Options through loans from the 667 and Life Sciences. The total amount expended on acquiring the Common Stock was $735,150.

 

The foregoing description of the Proceeds Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Proceeds Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

In order to effect the exercise of the Exercised Stock Options, on May 7, 2024, the Adviser entered into a Loan Agreement with 667 pursuant to which 667 loaned $55,918 to the Adviser for the purpose of acquiring the Common Stock. The loan is due May 7, 2054, or earlier if the Common Stock is sold (the “Due Date”), with interest payable through the Due Date at a rate of 4.55% annually. The Adviser drew down $679,232 for the purpose of acquiring Common Stock for Life Sciences from a revolving note (the “Revolver”). The Revolver is due on May 1, 2053, or earlier if the Common Stock (or any portion thereof) is sold, with interest payable through such date of 4.55% annually.

 

 

 

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Loan Agreement and the Revolver do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of the Loan Agreement and Revolver, which are filed as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Funds hold securities of the Issuer for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons or their affiliates may purchase additional securities of the Issuer 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 securities of the Issuer and other plans and requirements of the particular persons. 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, 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 in Item 5), vesting of restricted stock units (each, an “RSU”) or otherwise) or may 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. 29 are incorporated herein by reference. Set forth below is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock directly held by each of the Funds and the percentage of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock such holdings represent. The information set forth below is based on 224,540,751 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 23, 2024, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on April 30, 2024. Such percentage figures are calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

Holder  Shares of Common Stock   Percent of Class Outstanding 
667, L.P.   2,734,189    1.2%
Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P.   33,212,097    14.8%
Total   35,946,286    16.0%

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Julian C. Baker and Felix J. Baker are also the sole managers of FBB2 and FBB3 and by policy they do not transact in or vote the securities of the Issuer held by FBB2 and FBB3.

Baker holds options to purchase Common Stock of the Issuer (“Stock Options”), RSUs, Common Stock and Common Stock received from the exercise of Stock Options as disclosed in previous amendments to this Schedule 13D. On March 28, 2024, Julian C. Baker received 543 shares of Common Stock in lieu of quarterly cash director’s compensation.

 

Julian C. Baker serves on the Board as a representative of the Funds. 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 a director of the Issuer. Therefore, Julian C. Baker has no pecuniary interest in the Stock Options, Common Stock, RSUs or Common Stock received from the exercise of Stock Options or vesting of RSUs received as directors’ compensation. The Funds are instead entitled to the pecuniary interest in the Stock Options, Common Stock, RSUs and Common Stock received from the exercise of Stock Options and vesting of RSUs received as directors’ compensation.

 

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 Julian C. Baker received as directors’ 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 Julian C. Baker received as director’s compensation.

 

(c) The disclosures in Item 4 are incorporated by reference herein. 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.

9.       If any of the benefits contemplated by this Agreement would be reduced or unachievable because of restrictions or prohibitions imposed by law (by way of example only, the Securities Act of 1933, state securities laws, or the Company’s governing instruments), the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to preserve the intent of this Agreement and the benefits contemplated hereby by amending, modifying or waiving in an appropriate manner the provisions of this Agreement.

REVOLVING NOTE

 

FEBRUARY 29, 2024

 

For value received, Baker Bros. Advisors LP (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the Person identified as a “Lender” on the signature pages hereof (the “Lender”), the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans (as defined below) made by the Lender to the Borrower, together with interest thereon as set forth below, on the Maturity Date (as defined below). Certain capitalized terms used herein have the definitions provided therefor in Annex A.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender may, in its sole discretion on a case-by-case basis as and when such Loans are requested by the Borrower, make Loans in dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending one Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans exceeding the Maximum Facility Amount. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans, and may prepay any accrued interest thereon, from time to time, in whole or in part, without penalty. Any optional prepayment shall first be applied to accrued and unpaid interest, with the remainder applied to principal.

 

The Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice, in the Lender’s own books and records (or by its agent on its behalf, including the Borrower), an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender resulting from each Loan made by the Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to the Lender from time to time hereunder. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of the Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the Obligations.

 

The Borrower agrees to pay interest on the outstanding amount of each Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate with respect to such Loan. The aggregate amount of accrued interest hereunder at any time of determination, together with the then unpaid principal amount of the Loans, is collectively referred to herein as the “Obligations”. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. All interest will be payable on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan on the earliest of the Maturity Date, the date when the principal of such Loan is paid, or the date such Loan is forgiven.

 

Interest on this Note shall not exceed the maximum amount of non-usurious interest that may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under law, and any interest in excess of that maximum amount shall be credited on the principal of this Note or, if that has been paid, refunded. This provision overrides all other provisions of this Note.

 

If any payment of principal or interest under this Note is due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments to be made by or on behalf of the Borrower with respect to this Note shall be made without set-off, counterclaim or other defense. All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Loans shall be made payable to the Lender for the Lender’s account in lawful money of the United States of America at such place as shall be designated by the Lender for such purpose.

 

The Borrower shall use the proceeds of each Loan for purposes of facilitating an Agent’s exercise of the applicable remuneration (including any options or warrants) in accordance with the terms of a specified Proceeds Agreement (each, a “Specified Proceeds Agreement”).

 

 

 

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the sale at any time of any portion of the Securities referred to in a given Specified Proceeds Agreement, the Borrower shall, not later than ten (10) days thereafter, pay to the Lender an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Loan relating to such Specified Proceeds Agreement at such time and (ii) the net proceeds from the sale of such Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, if the proceeds from the sale of all of the Securities that was purchased using the proceeds of a Loan are less than the Obligations in respect of the applicable Loan, then the amount repaid by the Borrower to the Lender in satisfaction of such Loan may be less than the unpaid principal of and accrued interest on such Loan. Any such shortfall shall be deemed forgiven by the Lender, and the Obligations in respect of the applicable Loan shall be deemed paid in full.

 

The Borrower shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Lender to effectuate the intentions and objects of this Note.

 

This Note may be amended by a writing signed by the Lender and the Borrower.

 

The Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Note with the prior written consent of the Borrower. The Borrower may not assign or delegate any of its obligations or agreements hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender. This Note is binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and inures, together with all rights and remedies, to the benefit of the Lender and its successors, transferees and assigns.

 

Upon a failure by the Borrower to make any payment of the Obligations due and owing by the date required hereunder, the Lender may exercise the rights and remedies available to it under any applicable law.  Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Lender or allowed it by law or any other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, remedy or power, and may be exercised by the Lender at any time and from time to time. No failure on the part of any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Lender of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy or power. This Note shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of the Obligations.

 

The BORROWER waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of protest, non-payment and notice of non-payment and dishonor and notice of dishonor in the taking of any action to collect any amount called for pursuant to this Note. The Borrower agrees to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, in the event this Note is not paid when due.

 

Every provision of this Note is intended to be severable; if any term or provision of this Note shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

This Note may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Note in electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Note. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Note shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE SHALL, PURSUANT TO NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1401, BE CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED, AND ALL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER DETERMINED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE BORROWER SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE CITY AND STATE OF NEW YORK AND AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS NOTE SHALL BE LITIGATED ONLY IN SAID COURTS, AND THAT SUCH COURTS ARE CONVENIENT FORUMS.

 

THE BORROWER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THIS NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
