Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D

This Amendment No. 4 amends the Schedule 13D filed by Douglas K. Bratton, Crestline, Crestline SI, Crestline Management, and CL Alaska, L.P. (“CLA” and, together with Mr. Bratton, Crestline, Crestline SI, and Crestline Management, each a “Reporting Person” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) with the SEC on December 29, 2014, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, filed with the SEC on June 25, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto, filed with the SEC on March 3, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 3 thereto, filed with the SEC on July 18, 2017 (the “Schedule 13D”).

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

 

(a) CL Alaska, L.P. (“CLA”) directly beneficially owns 7,389,118 shares of common stock of Juno Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Issuer” and the “Common Shares”). The general partner of CLA is Crestline SI (GP), L.P. (“Crestline SI”) and the investment manager of CLA is Crestline Management, L.P. (“Crestline Management”). Crestline Investors, Inc. (“Crestline”) is the general partner of both Crestline SI and Crestline Management. Douglas K. Bratton is the sole director of Crestline. Certain entities controlled by Mr. Bratton (the “Bratton Entities”) directly beneficially own an aggregate of 239,164 Common Shares. CLA and the Bratton Entities are ultimately controlled by Mr. Bratton and Mr. Bratton has voting and investment power over all Common Shares held by CLA and the Bratton Entities. CLA, Crestline SI, Crestline Management, Crestline and Mr. Bratton may each be deemed to beneficially own all Common Shares held of record by CLA, and Mr. Bratton may be deemed to beneficially own all Common Shares held of record by the Bratton Entities. Each such entity and Mr. Bratton disclaims beneficial ownership of Common Shares except to the extent of its or his respective pecuniary interest therein.

 

     The aggregate of 7,628,282 Common Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons represents approximately 6.7% of the outstanding Common Shares. The percentage was computed based on 114,172,897 shares of Common Stock outstanding, as reported outstanding as of October 30, 2017 in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended on September 30, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 1, 2017.

 

(b) CLA, Crestline SI, Crestline Management, Crestline and Mr. Bratton share the power to vote and direct the vote and to dispose of and direct the disposition of the 7,389,118 Common Shares owned by CLA. Mr. Bratton and the Bratton Entities share the power to vote and direct the vote and to dispose of and direct the disposition of the 239,164 Common Shares owned by the Bratton Entities.

Annex A

The following table sets forth all transactions with respect to Common Shares effected in the last sixty days by the Reporting Persons on behalf of CLA, inclusive of any transactions effected through 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 7, 2017. All such transactions were sales of securities effected in the open market and the table includes commissions paid in per share prices.

 

Transaction Date    Shares Purchased/(Sold)      Price Per Share  

11/2/2017

     (1,000,000    $ 57.0000  

11/3/2017

     (237,000    $ 58.6445  

11/6/2017

     (263,213    $ 56.8081  

11/7/2017

     (194,304    $ 56.2999  (1) 

In addition, on November 6, 2017, one of the Bratton Entities made distributions in-kind of Common Shares to three other Bratton Entities in an aggregate amount totaling 180,188 Common Shares. Because the distributions in-kind were between Bratton Entities, they effectuated no change in beneficial ownership.

On November 7, 2017, a Bratton Entity made a charitable gift of 26,000 Common Shares to a charity.

 

(1) The sale price for November 7, 2017 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from a low of $56.00 per share to a high of $57.00 per share, inclusive. The Reporting Persons undertake to provide to the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the range set forth in this footnote.
