Amendment No. 10 to Schedule 13D
This Amendment No. 10 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the previously filed Schedules 13D filed by Baker Bros. Advisors LP (the “Adviser”), Baker Bros. Advisors (GP) LLC (the “Adviser GP”), Julian C. Baker and Felix J. Baker (collectively the “Reporting Persons”). Except as supplemented herein, such statements, as heretofore amended and supplemented, remain in full force and effect.
The Adviser GP is the sole general partner of the Adviser. Pursuant to the management agreements, as amended, among the Adviser, Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. (“Life Sciences”) and 667, L.P. (“667”, and together with Life Sciences, the “Funds”), and their respective general partners, the Funds’ respective general partners relinquished to the Adviser all discretion and authority with respect to the investment and voting power over securities held by the Funds, and thus the Adviser has complete and unlimited discretion and authority with respect to the Funds’ investments and voting power over investments.
All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D, as amended. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.
ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded, as the case may be, as follows:
The disclosures in Item 5(c) are incorporated herein, by reference.
ITEM 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
Item 4 of Amendment No. 10 is supplemented and superseded, as the case may be, as follows:
This Amendment No. 10 is being filed to report the acquisition of common stock (“Common Stock”) of Kodiak Sciences Inc. (the “Issuer”) reported in Item 5(c) that resulted in a more than 1 percent change in beneficial ownership. The disclosure regarding the purchases in Item 5(c) below is incorporated herein by reference.
The Funds hold securities of the Issuer for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons or their affiliates may purchase additional securities or dispose of securities in varying amounts and at varying times depending 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 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 (the “Board”) and management of the Issuer, the availability and nature of opportunities to dispose of securities of 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) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Depending upon their assessments of the above factors, the Reporting Persons or their affiliates may change their present intentions as stated above and they may assess whether to make suggestions to the management of the Issuer regarding financing, and whether to acquire additional securities of the Issuer (by means of open market purchases, privately negotiated purchases, exercising some or all of the Stock Options (defined in Item 5), or otherwise) or to dispose of some or all of the securities of the Issuer 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 this Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(a) and (b) Items 7 through 11 and 13 of each of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 10 are incorporated herein by reference.
Set forth below is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock directly held by each of the Funds and the percentage of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock such holdings represent. The information set forth below is based on 51,953,631 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 29, 2022, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 10, 2022. Such percentage figures are calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

| 667, L.P. | 1,342,986 | 2.6 | % | |||||
| Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. | 15,967,504 | 30.8 | % | |||||
| Total | 17,310,490 | 33.4 | % | |||||

The policy of the Funds and the Adviser does not permit managing members of the Adviser GP to receive compensation for serving as directors of the Issuer, and the Funds are instead entitled to the pecuniary interest in any compensation received for their service.
The Adviser has voting and investment power over the Stock Options, Common Stock and Common Stock underlying such Stock Options and Common Stock received from the exercise of Stock Options by Felix J. Baker received as directors’ compensation. The Adviser GP, and Felix J. Baker and Julian C. Baker as managing members of the Adviser GP, may be deemed to have the power to vote or direct the vote of and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the Stock Options, Common Stock, Common Stock received from the exercise of Stock Options and Common Stock underlying such Stock Options held by Felix J. Baker received as director’s compensation.
(c) The following transactions in Common Stock were effected by the Funds during the nineteen days preceding the filing of this statement.
