Bay City Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BCC”), hereby files this Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) which amends and supplements the Schedule 13D previously filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 13, 2009 (the “Original 13 D” and amended by Amendment No.1 filed November 3, 2009, Amendment No 2. filed July 1, 2010, Amendment No. 3 filed August 13, 2014 and Amendment No. 4 filed December 22, 2015 (the “Schedule 13 D”). on behalf of the Reporting Persons identified in Item 2 of the Schedule pursuant to the Agreement with respect to Schedule 13D attached to the Schedule 13 D as Exhibit 7.1. This Amendment is being filed to reflect changes to the Reporting Persons’ ownership of Sunesis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Issuer”) as a result of purchases of the Issuer’s common stock and warrants to purchase common stock by the Reporting Persons in the Issuer’s underwritten public offering. Except as supplemented herein, the Schedule 13 D remains in full force and effect. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.

BCC is the manager of Bay City Capital Management V LLC (“Management V”), which is the general partner of Bay City Capital Fund V, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund V”), and Bay City Capital Fund V Co-Investment Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Co-Investment V,” and together with Fund V, the “Purchasers”). BCC is also an advisor to Fund V and Co-Investment V.

All capitalized terms used and not expressly defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13 D.

 

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

Item 2 of the Schedule 13 D is supplemented and amended, as the case may be, as follows:

Schedule I attached hereto is incorporated herein by reference and amends and restates Schedule 1 of the Schedule 13 D in its entirety. During the last five years, neither the Reporting Person nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Person, any of the persons identified on Schedule I to this Amendment: (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, U.S. federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13 D is supplemented and amended, as the case may be, as follows:

The Purchasers acquired certain of the shares of common stock in connection with an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) by the Issuer on October 27, 2017. In the Offering, the Issuer sold a total of 7,500,000 shares of the common stock and accompanying warrants to purchase 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Shares”) for a purchase price of $2.00 per share.

The Purchasers purchased an aggregate of 600,000 Shares as follows:

 

     Shares     Price Paid  

Bay City Capital Fund V, L.P.

     588,780   $ $785,040

** Includes 7,480 shares of Common Stock and the accompanying warrants to purchase 3,740 shares of Common Stock.


The funds used to purchase the Shares acquired in the Offering detailed above are from capital contributions from the respective partners of each of the Purchasers.

 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13 D is supplemented and amended, as the case may be, as follows:

The disclosure in Item 3 is incorporated by reference herein.

Fund V and Co-Investment V purchased the Shares for investment purposes with the aim of increasing the value of the investment and the Issuer.

The Purchasers hold the securities for investment purposes. Whether the Reporting Persons or their affiliates purchase any additional securities or dispose of any securities, and the amount and timing of any such transactions, will depend 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 and 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).

Depending upon their assessments of the above factors from time to time, the Reporting Persons or their affiliates may change their present intentions as stated above, including assessing 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, 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.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13 D is supplemented and amended, as the case may be, as follows:

The information required by Item 5 with respect to persons with whom voting or dispositive power is shared is set forth in Items 2 and 3 of the Schedule 13 D.

To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person described in this Item 5 has effected any transaction in the common stock of the Issuer during the past 60 days other than as described in Item 3.
