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

 

On May 23, 2014, SVP VIII entered into a Series B investment agreement pursuant to which SVP VIII acquired from the Issuer an aggregate 1,863,354 shares of Series B preferred shares for a purchase price of $8.05 per share, or $15,000,000 in the aggregate. The Series B preferred shares accrued stock dividends payable in additional Series B preferred shares at a rate of 8% per annum from November 23, 2014. The aggregate amount of stock dividends that accrued through the closing of the Issuer’s initial public offering of Common Stock (“Offering”) was 30,222 shares of Common Stock.

 

On August 11, 2014, Mehra was granted a stock option from the Issuer to purchase 37,203 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.45 per share. Such option will vest over four years, with 25% of the shares underlying the option vesting on May 24, 2015, and the remainder vesting quarterly thereafter. Such option will expire on August 11, 2024.

 

In connection with the Offering, the Series B preferred shares, including Series B preferred shares issued as accrued stock dividends, automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into 1,893,576 shares of Common Stock.

 

In connection with the Offering, SVP VIII purchased 225,000 shares of Common Stock at $23.00 per share, or $5,175,000 in the aggregate. Such purchase occurred pursuant to and on the terms set forth in the Issuer’s Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) on January 30, 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Prospectus”).

 

The Issuer effected a 5:1 reverse stock split on January 16, 2015. Accordingly, unless otherwise noted above, all disclosed numbers and nominal value of shares are adjusted for such stock split.

 

On October 7, 2015, SVP VIII disposed of 251,912 shares of Common Stock in open market sales for an average price of $46.11 per share or $11,616,795.92 in the aggregate.

 

On October 8, 2015, SVP VIII disposed of 277,632 shares of Common Stock in open market sales for an average price of $44.99 per share or $12,491,107.89 in the aggregate.

 

The source of the funds for all purchases and acquisitions by the Reporting Persons was from working capital.

 

No part of the purchase price was borrowed by any Reporting Person for the purpose of acquiring any securities discussed in this Item 3.

 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

 

The Reporting Persons hold their securities of the Issuer for investment purposes. Depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, acquire additional Common Stock and/or retain and/or sell all or a portion of the Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, and/or may distribute the Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons to their respective members or limited partners. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, among other things, the price levels of the Common Stock, general market and economic conditions, ongoing evaluation of the Issuer's business, financial condition, operations and prospects; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities, and other future developments.

 

SVP VIII entered into a sales plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC on October 8, 2015 (the “Rule 10b5-1 Plan”), incorporated herein as Exhibit F. Pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 Plan, up to a certain number of shares of Common Stock may be sold by SVP VIII over a set period of time, provided that the terms and conditions of the Rule 10b5-1 Plan are met.

SVP VIII Rule 10b5-1 Plan

   

Sales Plan

 

Sales Plan, adopted October 8, 2015 (the “Sales Plan”), between Sofinnova Venture Partners VIII, L.P. (“Seller”) and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“JPMS”). The purpose of this Sales Plan is to achieve the investment objectives of broader diversification of investments, while reducing the risk of over concentration in a particular investment.

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Seller desires to establish this Sales Plan to sell common shares (the “Stock”) of Spark Therapeutics, Inc. (“the “Issuer”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell a total of [***]1 shares of Stock (the “Total Plan Shares”), and

 

WHEREAS, the Seller desires to engage JPMS to effect sales of shares of Stock in accordance with the Sales Plan;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Seller and JPMS hereby agree as follows:

 

A. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SALES PLAN

 

1. JPMS shall effect sales (each a “Sale”) of shares of Stock only on days on which the NASDAQ Global Select Market (the “Exchange”) is open and the Stock trades regular way on the Exchange, pursuant to the specific instructions specified on Schedule A.

 

2. Seller acknowledges and agrees that JPMS will handle the above order on a best efforts basis. In the event any limit prices of orders are away from the prevailing market prices at any time, there can be no assurance that such orders will be executed in whole or in part. Seller agrees that all orders may be partially executed and will not be treated as an all or none order. JPMS may effect sales of Stock which may coincide with sales of Stock by other accounts held with JPMS including, but not limited to, sales made pursuant to other sales plans with JPMS. In such instances, JPMS will make allocations in a manner believed by JPMS to be equitable to each client. JPMS may aggregate sales of Stock under the Sales Plan with sales of the Stock by other JPMS accounts.

 

3. Seller agrees to deposit [***]2 shares of Stock into the JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Asset Custody Account or JPMS Margin Brokerage Account (“Account”). JPMS reserves the right to suspend or cancel this Sales Plan prior to the first Sale if the shares of Stock have not been deposited into an Account for any reason. JPMS shall withdraw Stock from the Seller’s Account in order to effect Sales of Stock under this Sales Plan. If on any day that Sales are to be made under this Sales Plan the number of shares of Stock in the Seller’s Account is less than the number of shares to be sold on such day, then JPMS shall notify Seller promptly of such deficiency, and Seller agrees to promptly deposit into the Account the number of shares of Stock necessary to eliminate such deficiency.

4. Seller agrees not to remove or transfer shares of Stock out of the Account, in any manner that would cause an alteration of, or deviation from, the terms of this Sales Plan.

 

5. To the extent that any Stock remains in the Seller’s Account upon termination of this Sales Plan, JPMS agrees to return any such Stock for which JPMS had restrictions removed for the purpose of this Sales Plan promptly to the Issuer’s transfer agent for relegending to the extent that such Stock would then be subject to transfer restrictions in the hands of the Seller.

 

6. JPMS will deduct its reasonable and customary commissions from the proceeds of Sales of Stock under this Sales Plan, together with any other expenses incurred by JPMS in connection with such sales.

 

7. The Total Plan Shares, the shares to be sold on a particular day, and the limit prices, shall be adjusted automatically on a proportionate basis to take into account any stock split, reverse stock split or stock dividend with respect to the Stock or any change in capitalization with respect to the Issuer that occurs during the term of this Sales Plan.

 

8. Subject to Paragraph F.5, this Sales Plan shall become effective on [***]3 (“Effective Date”), and shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the close of business on [***]4; (b) the date on which the Total Plan Shares have been sold; (c) the date this Sales Plan is terminated pursuant to Section E; (d) the date on which the unit of JPMS responsible for executing Sales of Stock pursuant to this Sales Plan receives notice or otherwise becomes aware of (i) the closing of a tender or exchange offer with respect to the Stock or of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, recapitalization or comparable transaction affecting the securities of the Issuer as a result of which the Stock is to be exchanged or converted into shares of another company or for other consideration; (ii) the dissolution or winding up of the Seller; or (iii) the commencement or impending commencement of any proceedings in respect of or triggered by Seller’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Notwithstanding the above, this Sales Plan shall not be considered effective, but instead shall be considered null and void, if at least one of the accounts referenced in A.3 above has not been established in the name of Seller and open for the receipt of Stock by the Effective Date. Seller understands that such an account cannot be opened until JPMS and its affiliates have performed customer due diligence and customer identification in accordance with internal policies and procedures and relevant federal laws including, but not limited to, the Bank Secrecy Act as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.  Seller understands that there may be significant time delays during this process and that an account may not be open for the receipt of Stock by the Effective Date.

9. Seller acknowledges and agrees that it does not have authority, influence or control over any Sales of Stock effected by JPMS pursuant to this Sales Plan, and will not attempt to exercise any authority, influence or control over such Sales. JPMS agrees not to seek advice from Seller with respect to the manner in which it effects Sales under this Sales Plan. JPMS shall execute the trades in such a way as to attempt to minimize the negative price impact on the market and to attempt to maximize the prices obtained for the shares sold. JPMS may use its discretion in how to work the order to attempt to achieve the best execution above the minimum price per share, but at no time will the Seller communicate to JPMS any instructions on how to execute the order.

 

10. Seller will be notified of all transactions pursuant to customary trade confirmations that are provided in the normal course of business.

 

11. Seller understands that JPMS may not be able to effect a Sale due to a market disruption or a legal, regulatory or contractual restriction applicable to JPMS, an insufficient number of shares of Stock being in the Account, JPMS having received written confirmation from the Issuer that the Issuer has not complied with the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) that are a condition to complying with Rule 144 or 145 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), or a pending Sale under this Sales Plan causing Seller to exceed any applicable volume limitations of Rule 144 or 145 under the Securities Act. If any Sale cannot be executed as required by Paragraph A.1 due to: (a) Issuer not complying with the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are a condition to complying with Rule 144 or 145 under the Securities Act, JPMS will carry over any unsold shares to be sold in whole or in increments pursuant to the terms of Schedule A as and when the Issuer has provided written confirmation to JPMS that the Issuer is currently compliant with such reporting requirements; (b) the applicable volume limitations of Rule 144 or 145 under the Securities Act, then JPMS will recalculate the volume limitations on a weekly basis and carry over any unsold shares to be sold in whole or in increments pursuant to the terms of Schedule A as and when the volume limitations permit; or (c) a market disruption, a legal, regulatory or contractual restriction applicable to JPMS or any other such event, such Sale shall be cancelled and shall not be effected pursuant to this Sales Plan, and, notwithstanding any language to the contrary herein, there shall be no carryover associated with such cancelled Sale other than as set forth in Schedule A.

 

12. It is the intent of the parties that this Sales Plan comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act and this Sales Plan shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c).

 

13. In the event that it is necessary for JPMS to borrow or purchase shares of Stock in order to complete any Sale on behalf of Seller pursuant to this sales Plan, Seller authorizes JPMS to borrow or purchase such shares and agrees to be responsible for any expense or loss which JPMS may sustain relating to such borrowing or purchase, including any expense or loss JPMS may sustain as a result of its inability to borrow or purchase shares of Stock to complete its delivery obligation.

B. RULES 144 AND 145

 

The following three paragraphs shall only apply to Sellers who are subject to Rules 144 and 145.

 

1. JPMS agrees to conduct all sales in accordance with the manner of sale requirement of Rule 144 or 145 under the Securities Act, and in no event shall JPMS effect any such sale if such sale would exceed the then applicable volume limitation under Rule 144, assuming JPMS’s sales under this Sales Plan and those notified to JPMS pursuant to Paragraph B.3 are the only sales subject to that limitation. JPMS will be responsible for completing and filing on behalf of the Seller the required Form 144s that Seller shall execute and provide, as requested by JPMS. Seller understands and agrees that JPMS shall make one Form 144 filing at the start of each three-month period with the initial filing made on the date on which the first order to sell Stock is placed hereunder.

 

2. Each such Form 144 shall state in the “Remarks” section that the sales thereunder are being made pursuant to a previously adopted plan intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1(c), shall include the date the Seller adopted this Sales Plan and shall indicate that the representation regarding the Seller’s knowledge of material information speaks as of the adoption date of this Sales Plan.

 

3. Seller agrees not to take any action that would cause the sales not to comply with Rule 144 or 145, and Seller agrees not to cause any person or entity with which Seller would be required to aggregate sales of Stock pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) or (e) of Rule 144 to take any action that would cause the sales not to comply with Rules 144 or 145. Seller will provide notice of any such transactions during the three months preceding the date hereof and may not enter into any other selling program or transaction without the prior consent of JPMS.
