Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to Schedule 13D supplements and amends the Statement on Schedule 13D of OrbiMed Israel GP Ltd. and OrbiMed Israel BioFund GP Limited Partnership (the “Statement”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 7, 2019 as amended by Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) filed with the SEC on March 17, 2023 and Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on May 8, 2023. This Amendment No. 3 relates to the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Shares”), of BiomX Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Issuer”), with its principal executive offices located at 22 Einstein St., Floor 4, Ness Ziona, Israel 7414003. The Shares are listed on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol “PHGE”. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.

On March 6, 2024, the Issuer entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors parties thereto, including the Reporting Persons (as defined below). The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Private Placement”) are expected to be consummated substantially concurrently with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Issuer, BTX Merger Sub I, Inc., BTX Merger Sub II, LLC, and Adaptive Phage Therapeutics, Inc (the “Merger Agreement” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer agreed to sell (i) an aggregate of 216,417 shares of Series X Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series X Preferred Stock”) and (ii) warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 108,208,500 Shares (“Private Placement Warrants”), at a combined purchase price of $231.10 per share of Series X Preferred Stock and accompanying Private Placement Warrant.

Following stockholder approval of the Private Placement Proposal, each share of Series X Preferred Stock will automatically convert into 1,000 Shares, subject to certain limitations, including that a holder of Series X Preferred Stock is prohibited from converting shares of Series X Preferred Stock into Shares if, as a result of such conversion, such holder, together with any person whose beneficial ownership would be aggregated with such holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), would beneficially own more than a specified percentage (to be established by the holder between 0% and 19.99%) of the total number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The Private Placement Warrants may be exercised at any time following stockholder approval of the Private Placement Proposal, will have an exercise price of $0.2311 and expire on the 24-month anniversary of the date on which they are first exercisable.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons from time to time intend to review their investment in the Issuer on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer’s Shares in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities. Based upon such review, the Reporting Persons will take such actions in the future as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time. If the Reporting Persons believe that further investment in the Issuer is attractive, whether because of the market price of Shares or otherwise, they may acquire Shares or other securities of the Issuer either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Similarly, depending on market and other factors, the Reporting Persons may determine to dispose of some or all of the Shares currently owned by the Reporting Persons or otherwise acquired by the Reporting Persons either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

OrbiMed BioFund is the general partner of OIP pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of OIP, and OrbiMed Israel is the general partner of OrbiMed BioFund pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of OrbiMed BioFund.

As a result, OrbiMed Israel, OrbiMed BioFund, Gordon, and Chimovits share the power to direct the vote and disposition of the Shares, Warrants, and Pre-Funded Warrants held by OIP, and OrbiMed Israel, OrbiMed BioFund, Gordon, and Chimovits may be deemed directly or indirectly, including by reason of their mutual affiliation, to be the beneficial owners of the Shares, Warrants, and Pre-Funded Warrants held by OIP.

In addition, OrbiMed Israel and OrbiMed BioFund, pursuant to their authority under the limited partnership agreement of OIP, caused OIP to enter into the agreements referred to in Item 6 below.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

In addition to the relationships between the Reporting Persons described in Items 2 and 5 above, OrbiMed BioFund is the general partner of OIP pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of OIP. OrbiMed Israel is the general partner of OrbiMed BioFund pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of OrbiMed BioFund. Pursuant to these agreements and relationships, OrbiMed BioFund has discretionary investment management authority with respect to the assets of OIP and such discretionary investment management authority is exercised through OrbiMed Israel by action of the investment committee.

The Issuer agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 45 calendar days of the Filing Deadline (or within 75 calendar days if the SEC reviews the Registration Statement).

Lock-Up Agreement

Concurrently and in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, OrbiMed Israel, OrbiMed BioFund, and OIP entered into a lock-up agreement with the Company and Adaptive Phage Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), pursuant to which each of OrbiMed Israel, OrbiMed BioFund, and OIP will be subject to a 180-day lockup from the date of the consummation of the Merger, on the sale or transfer of Shares, shares of Series X Preferred Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares held by each of OrbiMed Israel, OrbiMed BioFund, and OIP at the consummation of the Merger.
