Explanatory Note: This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”), which amends the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 28, 2022 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) is being filed on behalf of Qiming U.S. Healthcare Fund II, L.P. (“Qiming”), Qiming U.S. Healthcare GP II, LLC (“Qiming GP”), Mark McDade (“McDade”) and Gary Rieschel (“Rieschel” and together with Qiming, Qiming GP and McDade, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) in respect of the Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of Icosavax, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” or “Icosavax”). This Amendment is being filed for the purpose of reporting the disposition of the securities of the Issuer by the Reporting Persons in connection with the closing of the Merger (as defined below). The Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent hereinafter expressly set forth and, except as amended and supplemented hereby, the Original Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph at the end of Item 4:

 

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 11, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, AstraZeneca Finance and Holdings Inc. (“Parent”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AstraZeneca plc, and Parent’s wholly owned subsidiary, Isochrone Merger Sub Inc., prior to the Expiration Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), each of the Reporting Person’s tendered all of their respective shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (the “Shares”) in the tender offer contemplated by the Merger Agreement. On February 19, 2024, these Shares were accepted in the tender offer in exchange for (i) $15.00 per Share, plus (ii) one non-tradable contingent value right (“CVR”) per Share, representing the right to receive a contingent payment of up to $5.00 in cash upon the achievement of specified milestones in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of a Contingent Value Rights Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each option that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), accelerated and became fully vested. On February 19, 2024, at the effective time of the merger (the “Merger”) contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding option to purchase Shares having an exercise price less than $15.00 per Share, whether or not vested, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation (as defined in the Merger Agreement) the following: (1) an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the aggregate number of Shares underlying such option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) an amount equal to (I) $15.00, less (II) the exercise price of such option, plus (2) one CVR for each Share underlying such option. McDade held options to purchase an aggregate of 39,278 shares of common stock, each with an exercise price of less than $15.00 per Share and, upon the closing of the Merger, such options were converted into the consideration described in the foregoing sentence.

 

Upon the closing of the Merger, McDade ceased to serve as a director of the Issuer. Also, as a result of the Merger, the Common Stock ceased to trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market prior to the opening of trading on February 20, 2024, and became eligible for delisting from the NASDAQ Global Select Market and termination of registration pursuant to Rules 12g-4(a)(1) and 12h-3(b)(1)(i) of the Act.

 

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(a) – (b).

The following information with respect to the ownership of the Common Stock of the Issuer by the persons filing this statement on Schedule 13D is provided as of February 19, 2024:
