SCHEDULE 13D

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer

The class of equity securities to which this Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) relates is the voting common stock, without par value (“Shares”), of ZymoGenetics, Inc., a Washington corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive office of the Issuer is located at 1201 Eastlake Avenue East, Seattle, Washington 98102.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

This Schedule 13D is being jointly filed by Zeus Acquisition Corporation (“Purchaser”), a Washington corporation wholly owned by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“Parent”), a Delaware corporation.

Parent’s principal executive offices are located at 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154-0037. The telephone number of Parent is (212) 546-4000. Parent is a global biopharmaceutical company whose mission is to discover, develop and deliver innovative medicines that help patients prevail over serious diseases. Parent is engaged in the discovery, development, licensing, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of pharmaceuticals products on a global basis.

Purchaser’s principal offices are located at 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154-0037. The telephone number of Purchaser is (212) 546-4000. Purchaser is a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Purchaser was formed solely for the purpose of effecting the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (defined below) and has not engaged in any activities except in connection with these transactions.

Parent and Purchaser are collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Reporting Persons”.

The Reporting Persons have entered into a Joint Filing Agreement, a copy of which is filed with this Schedule 13D as Exhibit 3.

The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each director and executive officer of each of Purchaser and Parent is set forth on Schedule A. During the preceding five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedule A, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.


Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds

On September 7, 2010, Parent, Purchaser and Issuer, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser and Parent commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding Shares, at a purchase price of $9.75 per Share, net to the holder thereof in cash, without interest and subject to reduction for any required withholding taxes (the “Offer Price”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase for Cash, dated September 10, 2010 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”). The obligation of Purchaser to accept for payment and to pay for any Shares tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn is subject to certain conditions, including the condition that at least 48,282,192 Shares (which represents approximately 56% of the outstanding Shares as of August 31, 2010, which in turn represents a majority of the Shares on a fully-diluted basis, excluding certain Shares underlying derivative securities that are significantly out-of-the-money) plus 50% of any equity interests of the Company granted or issued after August 31, 2010 (other than pursuant to the exercise of outstanding options, restricted stock units or warrants), are validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Offer and not withdrawn (the “Minimum Condition”), as provided in the Merger Agreement. The Offer is described in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule TO”), filed by Parent and Merger Sub with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 10, 2010. The Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal are filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) to the Schedule TO, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, following the consummation of the Offer and the satisfaction or waiver of each of the applicable conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Purchaser and the Company will merge (the “Merger”), with the surviving corporation in the Merger continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Corporation”). As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of Company voting common stock (other than Shares owned by Parent, Purchaser or the Company, or by any shareholder of the Company who is entitled to and properly exercises dissenters’ rights under Washington law) will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price. The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including approval by the Issuer’s shareholders, if required.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of Novo Nordisk A/S, Warburg, Pincus Equity Partners, L.P. and Warburg Pincus & Co. (each, a “Shareholder”) entered into Tender and Support Agreements, dated as of September 7, 2010, with Parent and Purchaser (each, a “Support Agreement” and collectively, the “Support Agreements”). Pursuant to each Support Agreement, each such Shareholder has agreed, among other things, subject to the termination of the Support Agreement (i) to tender pursuant to the Offer (and not withdraw, except under certain circumstances) all Shares beneficially owned by such Shareholder at the commencement of the Offer and to not exercise any dissenters’ rights in connection with the Merger, (ii) not to transfer any of such Shareholder’s equity interests in the Company, including any Shares, other than in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Support Agreement, (iii) not to take any action that would interfere with the performance of such Shareholder’s obligations under, or the transactions contemplated by, the Support Agreement, (iv) to vote such Shareholder’s Shares in support of the Merger in the event that shareholder approval is required to consummate the Merger, (v) to vote against any action or agreement that would materially interfere with or prevent the Offer or the Merger, and (vi) not to solicit, initiate or participate in discussions with third parties regarding other proposals to acquire the Company. Each Support Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of the termination of the Merger Agreement, the initial acceptance for payment by Purchaser of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, the mutual written consent of Parent and the Shareholder party thereto, the reduction in the consideration payable in the Offer or a change in the form of consideration payable in the Offer. An aggregate of 31,530,879 Shares, or approximately 36.4% of the Shares outstanding as of August 31, 2010, are subject to the Support Agreements.


The foregoing description of the Support Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Support Agreements, the form of which is attached as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference.

The proposed transaction values the equity of the Issuer at approximately $885 million. Parent will have sufficient funds to consummate the purchase of Shares in the Offer and the Merger and the other transactions described above, and will cause Purchaser to have sufficient funds available to consummate such transactions.

Shared voting power with respect to the Shares beneficially owned by the Shareholders may be deemed to have been acquired through execution of the Support Agreements.

Schedule B lists the names and number of Shares that are beneficially held by each Shareholder and subject to this Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

The purpose of the Offer is for Parent and Purchaser to acquire control of, and the entire equity interest in, the Issuer. If the Offer is consummated, Purchaser will be entitled to designate a number of persons to the board of directors that reflects Purchaser’s proportionate voting interest in the Issuer. The purpose of the Merger is for Parent and Purchaser to acquire all outstanding Shares not tendered and purchased pursuant to the Offer. All Shares acquired by Purchaser pursuant to the Offer will be retained by Purchaser pending the Merger. After the consummation of the Offer, Purchaser intends to consummate the Merger as promptly as practicable, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Upon the consummation of the Merger, (i) the Surviving Corporation will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and (ii) each outstanding share of Company voting common stock (other than Shares owned by Parent, Purchaser or the Company, or by any shareholder of the Company who is entitled to and properly exercises dissenters’ rights under Washington law) will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price.

From and after the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) the directors of Purchaser will serve as directors of the Surviving Corporation, (ii) the officers of Purchaser will be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, (iii) the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation will be amended and restated in their entirety to read as set forth in the articles of incorporation attached as an exhibit to the Merger Agreement and (iv) the by-laws of Purchaser will be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation (except the name of the Surviving Corporation will be “ZymoGenetics, Inc.”).

Following the Merger, the Shares will no longer be traded on The Nasdaq Global Market, there will be no public market for the Shares and registration of the Shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 will be terminated.

Item 3 is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D and in connection with the Offer and the Merger described above, Parent has no plan or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) and (b)

Other than those Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by operation of the Support Agreements, the Reporting Persons do not beneficially own any Shares.

As a result of the voting proxies granted to Parent under the Support Agreements, Parent may be deemed to have the power to vote up to 31,530,879 Shares in favor of approval of the Merger or in connection with certain other matters described in Item 3


above, and thus, each Reporting Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 31,530,879 Shares. All Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons constitute approximately 36.4% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of August 31, 2010.

The Reporting Persons (i) are not entitled to any rights as a shareholder of the Issuer as to the Shares covered by the Support Agreements, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Support Agreements and (ii) disclaims all beneficial ownership of such Shares.

Except as set forth in this Item 5(a), none of Parent and, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any persons named in Schedule A beneficially owns any Shares.

(c)

Except for the agreements described in this Schedule 13D, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no transactions in the class of securities reported have been effected during the past 60 days by any person named in Schedule A or Item 5(a).

(d)

To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities of the Issuer reported herein.

(e)

Inapplicable.

 

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

Except for the agreements described in this Schedule 13D, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise), among the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of any of the Reporting Persons, any other person or entity referred to in Item 2 (including those listed on Schedule A), or between such persons and any other person, with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding proxies.
