Item 1.
Security and Issuer
 
This Schedule 13D (the “Statement”) relates to the common stock of Relypsa, Inc. (the “Common Stock”), a corporation organized under the laws of the state of Delaware (the “Issuer”), with its principal executive offices located at 100 Cardinal Way, Redwood City, California 94063.  The Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ National Market under the ticker symbol “RLYP.”  Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.
 
Item 2.
Identity and Background
 
(a)           This Statement is being filed by OrbiMed Advisors LLC (“Advisors”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware, OrbiMed Capital GP IV LLC (“GP IV”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware, and Samuel D. Isaly (“Isaly”), an individual (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).
 
(b) – (c)  Advisors, a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, is the sole managing member of GP IV, which is the sole general partner of OrbiMed Private Investments IV, LP (“OPI IV”), which holds shares of Common Stock (“Shares”), as more particularly described in Item 6 below.  Advisors has its principal offices at 601 Lexington Avenue, 54th Floor, New York, New York 10022.
 
GP IV has its principal offices at 601 Lexington Avenue, 54th Floor, New York, New York 10022.  Isaly, a natural person, owns a controlling interest in Advisors.
 
The directors and executive officers of Advisors and GP IV are set forth on Schedules I and II, attached hereto.  Schedules I and II set forth the following information with respect to each such person:
 
(i)           name;
 
(ii)           business address;
 
(iii)            present principal occupation or employment and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted;
 
(iv)           citizenship.
 
(d) – (e)  During the last five years, neither the Reporting Persons nor any Person named in Schedule I or II have been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding 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.
 
(f)           Isaly is a citizen of the United States.
 
Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
 
The Shares covered by this Statement have been acquired by the Reporting Persons with working capital of OPI IV and capital contributions made to OPI IV by its partners.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction
 
This statement relates to the transactions by the Reporting Persons more fully described in Item 5 below.  The Shares were acquired (and those that had been acquired previously, are held) by the Reporting Persons for the purpose of making an investment in the Issuer and not with the intention of acquiring control of the Issuer’s business.
 
 
 
5

 
 
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.
 
Except as set forth in this Statement, the Reporting Persons have not formulated any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in:  (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board, (e) any material change in the Issuer’s capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, (g) any change in the Issuer’s charter or bylaws or other instrument corresponding thereto or other action which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (h) causing a class of the Issuer’s securities to be deregistered or delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer
 
(a)-(b)           As of the date of this filing, Advisors, GP IV and Isaly may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, directly or indirectly, including by reason of their mutual affiliation, to be the beneficial owners of 7,900,000 Shares held of record by OPI IV.  Based upon information contained in the most recent available filing by the Issuer with the SEC, such Shares constitute approximately 19.00% of the issued and outstanding Shares.  Advisors, pursuant to its authority as the sole managing member of GP IV, the sole general partner of OPI IV, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the Shares held of record by OPI IV.  GP IV, pursuant to its authority as the general partner of OPI IV, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the Shares held of record by OPI IV.  Isaly, pursuant to his authority as the managing member of Advisors and owner of a controlling interest in Advisors, pursuant to its limited liability company agreement, may also be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the Shares attributable to Advisors.  As a result, Isaly, Advisors and GP IV share the power to direct the vote and to direct the disposition of the Shares held of record by OPI IV.

In addition to the relationships between the Reporting Persons described in Items 2, 3 and 5 above, GP IV is the sole general partner of OPI IV, pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of OPI IV.  Advisors is the sole managing member of GP IV, pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company agreement of GP IV.  Pursuant to these agreements and relationships, Advisors and GP IV have discretionary investment management authority with respect to the assets of OPI IV.  Such authority includes the power of GP IV to vote and otherwise dispose of securities purchased by OPI IV.  The number of outstanding Shares attributable to OPI IV is 7,900,000 Shares.  Advisors may be considered to hold indirectly 7,900,000 Shares, and GP IV may be considered to hold indirectly 7,900,000 Shares.
 
On June 19, 2014, Jonathan Silverstein, a member of Advisors, retired from the board of directors of the Issuer at the expiration of his term.
 
In addition, OPI IV and certain other stockholders of the Issuer are parties to a second amended and restated investor rights agreement with the Issuer, a summary of which is set forth at Item 6 of the original Statement.
