Security and Issuer
 
This Schedule 13D (the “Statement”) relates to the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Corvus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Common Stock”), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Issuer”), with its principal executive offices located at 863 Mitten Road, Suite 102, Burlingame, California 94010.  The Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the ticker symbol “CRVS.”  Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.
 
Item 2.

(a)           This Statement is being filed by OrbiMed Advisors LLC (“Advisors”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware, OrbiMed Capital GP V LLC (“GP V”), 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 V, which is the sole general partner of OrbiMed Private Investments V, LP (“OPI V”), which holds shares of Common Stock, as more particularly described in Item 3 below.  Advisors has its principal offices at 601 Lexington Avenue, 54th Floor, New York, New York 10022.

(f)           Isaly is a citizen of the United States.
 
Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
 
On or prior to the close of November 26, 2014, Advisors and GP V, pursuant to their authority under the limited partnership agreement of OPI V, as more particularly referred to in Item 6 below, caused OPI V to purchase 1,997,337 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Issuer.  On or prior to the close of June 10, 2015, Advisors and GP V, pursuant to their authority under the limited partnership agreement of OPI V, as more particularly referred to in Item 6 below, caused OPI V to purchase an additional 1,997,337 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Issuer.  Immediately prior to completion of the Issuer’s initial public offering, each share of Series A Preferred Stock of the Issuer automatically converted on a 1-for-1 basis into Common Stock.
 
On or prior to the close of September 16, 2015, Advisors and GP V, pursuant to their authority under the limited partnership agreement of OPI V, as more particularly referred in Item 6 below, caused OPI V to purchase 713,776 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Issuer.  Immediately prior to completion of the Issuer’s initial public offering, each share of Series B Preferred Stock of the Issuer automatically converted on a 1-for-1 basis into Common Stock.
 
  
 
5

 
 
On March 22, 2016, the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Issuer (SEC File No. 333- 208850) in connection with its initial public offering of 4,700,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (the “IPO”) was declared effective (the “Registration Statement Effective Date”). 
 
The closing of the offering took place on March 29, 2016, and at such closing Advisors and GP V, pursuant to their authority under the limited partnership agreements of OPI V, as more particularly referred to in Item 6 below, caused OPI V to purchase 550,000 shares of Common Stock at the initial public offering price of $15 per share.
 
The source of funds for such purchases was the working capital of OPI V and capital contributions made to OPI V.
 
As a result of the transactions described in this Item 3, (i) GP V, as the general partner of OPI V, (ii) Advisors, as the managing member of GP V, and (iii) Isaly, as the managing member of Advisors and the owner of a controlling interest in Advisors, may each be deemed to be the beneficial owner of approximately 25.77% of the shares of Common Stock.  None of the Reporting Persons has acquired or disposed of any additional shares of Common Stock since March 29, 2016.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction
 
The Reporting Persons caused OPI V to acquire shares of the Issuer for the purpose of making an investment in the Issuer and not with the intention of acquiring control of the Issuer’s business on behalf of OPI V.
 
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 of Common Stock 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 the Common Stock or otherwise, they may acquire shares of Common Stock 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 of Common Stock 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, the Reporting Persons 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 the shares of Common Stock described in Item 3 above.  Based upon information contained in the Issuer’s prospectus, dated March 22, 2016 filed with the SEC on March 24, 2016, such Common Stock constitutes approximately 25.77% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Advisors, pursuant to its authority as the sole managing member of GP V, the sole general partner of OPI V, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the shares of Common Stock held by OPI V.  GP V, pursuant to its authority as the general partner of OPI V, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the shares of Common Stock held by OPI V.  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 of Common Stock attributable to Advisors.  As a result, Isaly, Advisors and GP V share the power to direct the vote and to direct the disposition of the shares of Common Stock described in Item 3 above.
 
(c)           Except as disclosed in Item 3, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions in the shares during the past sixty (60) days.
 
(d)           Not applicable.
 
(e)           Not applicable.
 
Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationship with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
 
In addition to the relationships between the Reporting Persons described in Items 2, 3 and 5 above, GP V is the sole general partner of OPI V, pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of OPI V.  Advisors is the sole managing member of GP V, pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company agreement of GP V.  Pursuant to these agreements and relationships, Advisors and GP V have discretionary investment management authority with respect to the assets of OPI V.  Such authority includes the power of GP V to vote and otherwise dispose of securities purchased by OPI V.  The number of outstanding shares of Common Stock attributable to OPI V is 5,258,450 shares of Common Stock.  Advisors and GP V may each be considered to hold indirectly 5,258,450 shares of Common Stock.  Isaly, pursuant to his authority as the managing member of, and owner of a controlling interest in, Advisors, also has shared discretionary power to direct the vote and the disposition of the securities of the Issuer held by OPI V.
 
Peter Thompson (“Thompson”), a Private Equity Partner at Advisors, has been a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer since November 2014, and, accordingly, the Reporting Persons may have the ability to affect and influence control of the Issuer.  From time to time, Thompson may receive stock options or other awards of equity-based compensation pursuant to the Issuer’s compensation arrangements for non-employee directors.  Thompson is obligated to transfer any shares of Common Stock issued under any such stock options or other awards, or the economic benefit thereof, to the Reporting Persons, which will in turn ensure that such shares or economic benefits are provided to OPI V.
 
Lock-up Agreement
 
In connection with the Issuer’s initial public offering, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”), Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen” and together with Credit Suisse, the “Representatives”) and OPI V entered into a Lock-Up Agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”).  The Lock-Up Agreement provides that, subject to limited exceptions, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, OPI V will not, prior to the date that is 180 days after the public offering date set forth on the final prospectus used to sell Common Stock in the IPO (the “Lock-Up Period”), offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, enter into a transaction which would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement.
 
  
 
7

 
  
After the Lock-Up Agreement expires, OPI V’s shares of Common Stock will be eligible for sale in the public market, subject to any applicable limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and other applicable U.S. securities laws.  OPI V, along with certain other holders of the Issuer’s Common Stock party to the Investors’ Rights Agreement (as defined below), will be entitled to rights with respect to the registration of their shares.  Registration of these shares would result in the shares becoming freely tradable without restriction, except for shares purchased by affiliates.
 
The foregoing description of the Lock-Up Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Lock-Up Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference.
 
Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement
 
OPI V and certain other stockholders of the Issuer entered into an amended and restated investors’ rights agreement with the Issuer (“Investors’ Rights Agreement”), dated as of September 16, 2015.  Pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions therein, the parties agreed that:
 
Demand Registration Rights
 
After the expiration of the 180-day period following the Registration Statement Effective Date, the holders of 30% of the shares covered by the Investors’ Rights Agreement, or their transferees, can, on not more than two occasions, request that the Issuer register all or a portion of their shares.  Such request for registration must cover a number of shares expected to result in aggregate net proceeds, after deduction of underwriter’s discounts and expenses related to the issuance, of at least $5.0 million.  The Issuer will not be required to effect a demand registration during the period that is 30 days before the Issuer’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is 90 days after the effective date of, a company-initiated registration of its securities, provided that the Issuer is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective.
 
Piggyback Registration Rights
 
The Investors’ Rights Agreement further provides that, in the event that the Issuer determines to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act, either for its own account or for the account of other security holders, in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash, the stockholders who are party to the Investors’ Rights Agreement, including OPI V, will be entitled to certain “piggyback” registration rights allowing the holders to include their shares in such registration, subject to certain marketing and other limitations.  These rights do not apply with respect to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, a registration relating to the offer and sale of debt securities only, or a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction described Rule 145 under the Securities Act.
 
Form S-3 Registration Rights
 
At any time when the Issuer is eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement, the holders of at least 20% of the shares covered by the Investors’ Rights Agreement or their transferees, can request that the Issuer register all or a portion of their shares on Form S-3.  Such request for registration must cover a number of shares with an anticipated aggregate price to the public, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, of at least $2.0 million.  The Issuer will not be required to effect a demand registration during the period that is 30 days before the Issuer’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is 90 days after the effective date of, a company-initiated registration of its securities, provided that the Issuer is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective.  In addition, the Issuer shall not be required to file more than two registrations on Form S-3 in any twelve-month period.
 
 
8

 
 
Expenses of Registration
 
The Issuer will pay the registration expenses of the holders of the shares registered pursuant to the demand, Form S-3 and piggyback registration rights described above, including the expenses in an amount not to exceed $35,000 of one special counsel for the selling holders.
 
Indemnification
 
The Investors’ Rights Agreement contains customary cross-indemnification provisions, pursuant to which the Issuer is obligated to indemnify the selling stockholders in the event of material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement attributable to the Issuer, and the selling stockholders are obligated to indemnify the Issuer for material misstatements or omissions attributable to them.
 
Termination of Registration Rights.
 
OPI V’s demand, short-form and piggyback registration rights described above generally will terminate upon the earlier of: (i) the date four years following the Issuer’s initial public offering; and (ii) such time as all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Investors’ Rights Agreement) of the Issuer held by OPI V may be sold without any restriction on volume or manner of sale in any three-month period pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Section (c)(1) of Rule 144).
 
The foregoing description of the Investors’ Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Investors’ Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3 and incorporated herein by reference.
 
Other than as described in this Schedule 13D, to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
