Item 1 – Security and Issuer

 

(a) This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the common stock of Sun BioPharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).

 

(b) The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 712 Vista Blvd., #305, Waconia, MN 55387.

 

Item 2 - Identity and Background

 

This statement is being filed by Ryan R. Gilbertson (“Gilbertson”), a Minnesota resident. Gilbertson is a United States citizen. The address of the reporting person is 8615 Eagle Creek Circle, Savage, Minnesota 55378. Gilbertson’s only occupation is as an investor. Through criminal proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, Gilbertson was convicted on June 26, 2018 of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud, and securities fraud based on activity unrelated to the Issuer or its securities. On December 21, 2018, Gilbertson was sentenced to twelve years of incarceration, a $2 million fine and $15 million in restitution.

 

Item 3 - Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

On March 17, 2017, Northern Capital Partners I, LP (“NCP I”) purchased from the Issuer a convertible promissory note with an aggregate principal amount of $200,000 (the “Convertible Note”), using funds from the partnership’s investment capital. The Forms of Note Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note are included as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.

 

In May 2018, the Issuer received gross proceeds in an offering that represented a qualified financing and triggered a mandatory conversion under the terms of the Convertible Note. As a result, the Convertible Note was exchanged for units consisting of a share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock (each, a “Unit”), at a price of $4.50 per Unit. Based on $211,616 of outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest through May 15, 2018 NCP I received Units consisting of 47,025 shares of Issuer common stock and warrants to purchase up to 47,025 additional shares of Issuer common stock. The Forms of Securities Purchase Agreement and Warrant relating to the issuance of the Units are filed as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4, respectively. After the foregoing transactions, Gilbertson beneficially owned 929,810 shares of Issuer common stock, including 47,025 shares subject to warrants.

 

On September 1, 2018, NCP I disposed of the 47,025 shares of Issuer common stock and all related warrants for total cash proceeds of $200,000.

 

Mr. Gilbertson served as chief manager of NCP I for the duration of its investment in the Convertible Note and Units. Because Mr. Gilbertson was the Chief Manager of NCP I, he had the power to direct its affairs, including the disposition of any Issuer securities held by NCP I. Therefore Mr. Gilbertson was deemed to beneficially own the Convertible Note. As of the date of this report, NCP I is not known to beneficiall y own any Issuer securities.

 

Item 4 - Purpose of Transaction

 

Representatives of Gilbertson may engage in discussions with members of management, directors, and stockholders of Issuer concerning its business, operations, assets, strategy, future plans, corporate structure, and capitalization. Except as set forth herein, Gilbertson has no present plans or proposals which would result in or relate to any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Gilbertson reserves the right to determine in the future whether to adopt plans or proposals of the type specified in the previous sentence.

 

Item 5.     Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

(a) Gilbertson beneficially owns 212,127 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, representing approximately 3.7% of the Issuer’s outstanding common stock. Beneficial ownership is calculated on the basis of 5,722,099 shares of common stock outstanding as of the close of business on August 10, 2019, as reported on the cover page to the Issuer’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

 

(b) The reporting person had the sole power to vote or to direct the voting and disposition all 212,127 shares of common stock beneficially owned by the reporting person. The reporting person does not have shared power to vote or to direct the vote of any shares of common stock and does not have share power to dispose or direct the disposition of any shares of common stock.

 

(c) Pursuant to a share purchase agreement by and between Gilbertson and the Ryan Gilbertson Family 2012 Irrevocable Trust (the “Trust”), effective as of July 31, 2019, Gilbertson sold 275,862 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock to the Trust. Such sale was contingent upon written approval from the U.S. government to release the restitution lien it holds on such shares, which was obtained on August 16, 2019. The purchase price paid for the shares was $3.00 per share, for a total of $827,586.

Pursuant to a share purchase agreement by and between Gilbertson and RRG Family Capital, LLC (“RRG”), effective as of July 31, 2019, Gilbertson sold 67,549 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock to RRG. Such sale was contingent upon written approval from the U.S. government to release the restitution lien it holds on such shares, which was obtained on August 16, 2019. The purchase price paid for the shares was $3.00 per share, for a total of $202,647.
