SCHEDULE 13D

Item 1.
Security and Issuer

Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

This Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 6”) is being filed by the undersigned, pursuant to §240.13d-2(a), to amend and supplement the Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 9, 2020, (the “Initial Schedule 13D”), as amended on January 28, 2022, on April 11, 2022, on November 23, 2022, on August 11, 2023, and on April 9, 2024 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of Biodesix, Inc. (the “Issuer” or the “Company”), whose principal executive offices are located at 919 West Dillon Rd., Louisville, Colorado 80027.

Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On May 21, 2024, the Conversion Proposal (as defined in Amendment No. 5) was approved by the Company’s stockholders at its 2024 annual meeting of stockholders. Following such approval of the Conversion Proposal, each share of Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into 40 Shares on May 23, 2024, with 30,434,280 Shares being issued upon conversion of an aggregate 760,857 shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.

In connection with the foregoing, the 2,174 shares of Series A Preferred Stock directly held by the Trust automatically converted into 86,960 Shares on May 23, 2024.

Also on May 21, 2024, in connection with Mr. Schuler’s service on the Issuer’s Board, Mr. Schuler was awarded for no additional consideration:


(i)
46,686 RSUs, each one of which represents a contingent right to receive one Share, which will vest in full on March 31, 2025, generally subject to Mr. Schuler’s continued service on the Issuer’s Board. The Shares underlying these RSUs will be issued to Mr. Schuler following Mr. Schuler’s separation from service to the Issuer. In the event Mr. Schuler’s continued service on the Board terminates other than for cause, these RSUs will vest on a prorated basis based on the number of full months of service Mr. Schuler completed during the applicable vesting period. Accordingly, within 60 days of the date of this filing, a total of 11,672 of these RSUs could vest on a prorated basis if Mr. Schuler’s continued service were to terminate other than for cause; the remaining 35,014 RSUs that would not vest within 60 days of the date of this filing have been omitted from Mr. Schuler’s beneficial ownership as reported herein.


(ii)
a stock option representing the right to acquire 37,050 Shares at an exercise price of $1.57, which will vest in full on March 31, 2025, generally subject to Mr. Schuler’s continued service on the Issuer’s Board. In the event Mr. Schuler’s continued service on the Board terminates other than for cause, these options will vest on a prorated basis based on the number of full months of service Mr. Schuler completed during the applicable vesting period. Accordingly, within 60 days of the date of this filing, options representing the right to acquire 9,263 Shares could vest on a prorated basis if Mr. Schuler’s continued service were to terminate other than for cause; the remaining options representing the right to acquire 27,787 Shares that would not vest within 60 days of the date of this filing have been omitted from Mr. Schuler’s beneficial ownership as reported herein.

Item 4.

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5(a) - (c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The foregoing beneficial ownership percentages are based on a total of (i) 114,685,783 Shares outstanding as of May 1, 2024, as reported in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 8, 2024, (ii) an aggregate 30,434,280 Shares issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock on May 23, 2024 following the approval of the Conversion Proposal, and, for purposes of calculating Mr. Schuler’s beneficial ownership percentage, (iii) 352,010 Shares that Mr. Schuler has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of this filing.

As sole trustee of the Trust, Mr. Schuler shares with the Trust the power to vote or direct the vote, and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of, the 30,794,682 Shares beneficially owned by the Trust.

(c) The response to Item 3 of this Amendment No. 6 is incorporated by reference herein. Except as set forth in this Amendment No. 6, no transactions in the Shares have been effected by the Reporting Persons since the filing of Amendment No. 5.
