AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SCHEDULE 13D
Reference is hereby made to the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Common Stock of the Issuer on September 5, 2013 (the “Schedule 13D”). Terms defined in the Schedule 13D are used herein as so defined.
The following Items of the Schedule 13D are amended as follows:
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
The Issuer changed its name from Regado Biosciences, Inc. to Tobira Therapeutics, Inc. in connection with the completion of the Merger described in Item 3 below. The principal executive office of the Issuer is located at 701 Gateway Boulevard, Suite 300, South San Francisco, CA 94080.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
Item 2(a), (b) and (c) are amended to add Domain Partners VII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("DP VII"), and DP VII Associates, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("DP VII A"), to the Schedule 13D as Reporting Persons. The amended agreement among the Reporting Persons to file as a group (the “Amended Joint Filing Agreement”) is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The principal business of each of DP VII and DP VII A is that of a private investment partnership. The sole general partner of DP VII and DP VII A is One Palmer Square Associates VII, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OPSA VII”). The principal business of OPSA VII is that of acting as the general partner of DP VII and DP VII A. James C. Blair, Brian H. Dovey, Jesse I. Treu, Kathleen K. Schoemaker, Brian K. Halak and Nicole Vitullo are the managing members of OPSA VII.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
DP VII, DP VII A and DA received an aggregate 3,359,345 shares of Common Stock in exchange for shares of Tobira Development, Inc. (formerly known as Tobira Therapeutics, Inc.) (“Tobira”) held by DP VII, DP VII A and DA in connection with the merger of Tobira with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of January 14, 2015, by and among the Issuer, Landmark Merger Sub, Tobira and Brent Ahrens (as the Issuer’s stockholders’ agent) (the “Merger Agreement”), which closed on May 4, 2015. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Tobira common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into the right to receive approximately 11.4521 shares of Common Stock, which was then adjusted to give effect to the nine-for-one reverse split of the Common Stock that was effected on May 4, 2015. The Merger Agreement was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuer’s Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 15, 2015, and any description thereof is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
Also on May 4, 2015, DP VII purchased 277,777 shares of Common Stock, for $10.62 per share, from the Issuer pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 4, 2015, by and among the Issuer and certain stockholders of Tobira, including DP VII (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Purchase Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Issuer’s Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2015, and any description thereof is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto. The source of funds for this purchase was the working capital of DP VII, received from capital contributions made to DP VII by its partners for investment purposes.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
DP VII, DP VII A and DA acquired shares of Common Stock as reported in this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D in order to effect the Merger described in Item 3 above. DP VII purchased additional shares of Common Stock for investment purposes.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) The information requested by this paragraph is incorporated herein by reference to the cover pages to this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule13D. Ownership percentages are based on 17,422,927 shares of Common Stock outstanding after the completion of the Merger, as provided to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer, and share numbers give effect to the nine-for-one reverse split of the Common Stock that was effected on May 4, 2015.
With reference to Item 2 above, this paragraph is amended to add the following information:
OPSA VII, as the general partner of DP VII and DP VII A, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the securities that are directly beneficially owned by DP VII and DP VII A.
(b) With reference to Item 2 above, this paragraph is amended to add the following information:
The managing members of OPSA VII may be deemed to share the power to vote or direct the voting of and to dispose or direct the disposition of the securities of the Issuer that are beneficially owned by DP VII and DP VII A. Each of the managing members of OPSA VII disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities other than those he or she owns directly, if any, or by virtue of his or her indirect pro rata interest, as a managing member of OPSA VII, OPSA VI and/or DA, in the securities owned by DP VII, DP VII A, DP VI, DP VI A and/or DA.
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement described in Item 3 above, the Issuer entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with purchasers under the Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to file, no later than 60 days after the closing of the transactions under the Purchase Agreement, a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock sold under the Purchase Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Issuer’s Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2015, and any description thereof is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
DP VI, DP VI A and DA are parties to a Lock-Up Agreement with the Issuer, dated as of January 14, 2015 (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), pursuant to which they have agreed to certain trading restrictions on the shares of Common Stock owned by them for the 90 day period following the closing of the Merger.
