Item 1. Security and Issuer
This statement relates to the common stock (“Common Stock”), $0.001 par value, of Cell Genesys, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), whose principal executive offices are located at 400 Oyster Point Boulevard, Suite 525, South San Francisco, California 94080.
Item 2. Identity and Background
(a)
This statement is filed by: Kopp Investment Advisors, LLC (“KIA”) with respect to shares of Common Stock owned by clients and held in discretionary accounts managed by KIA; Kopp Holding Company, LLC (“KHCLLC”) solely as the parent entity of KIA and indirect beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by KIA; and LeRoy C. Kopp individually with respect to shares of Common Stock that may be deemed beneficially owned directly by him and indirectly, including by virtue of his position as the control person of KHCLLC. The foregoing persons are sometimes referred to as “Reporting Persons.” Certain information concerning the directors and executive officers of the corporate Reporting Persons is set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Any disclosures with respect to persons other than the Reporting Persons are made on information and belief after making inquiry to the appropriate party.
(b)
The business address of each of the Reporting Persons and directors and executive officers is 7701 France Avenue South, Suite 500, Edina, Minnesota 55435.
(c)
The principal business of KIA is that of an investment adviser managing discretionary accounts owned by numerous third-party clients. KHCLLC is a holding company engaged, through its subsidiary, in the investment industry. The principal occupation of Mr. Kopp is serving as the sole governor, chairman and chief investment officer of KHCLLC and KIA.
(d)
None of the persons referred to in paragraph (a) above has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and/or similar misdemeanors).
(e)
None of the persons referred to in paragraph (a) above has, during the last five years, been 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)
KIA and KHCLLC are Minnesota limited liability companies. Mr. Kopp and all other directors and executive officers of the Reporting Persons are citizens of the United States.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The net investment cost (including commissions, if any) of the shares of Common Stock directly or indirectly beneficially owned by Mr. Kopp, which includes shares beneficially owned by the other Reporting Persons, at July 2, 2009, was $8,468,479.74. The shares beneficially owned by KIA were purchased with the investment capital of the owners of the discretionary client accounts. The shares beneficially owned directly and indirectly (other than through KIA) by Mr. Kopp were purchased with Mr. Kopp’s investment capital or the funds of a 501(c)(3) corporation. See Item 5 below.
5
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Common Stock for investment purposes, and the Reporting Persons intend to evaluate the performance of such securities as an investment in the ordinary course of business. The Reporting Persons pursue an investment objective of long-term capital appreciation. In pursuing this investment objective, the Reporting Persons analyze the management, operations and markets of companies in which they invest, including the Company, on a continual basis through analysis of research and discussions with industry and market observers and with representatives of such companies.
Each Reporting Person that owns shares of Common Stock assesses the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations as well as economic conditions and securities markets in general and those for the Company’s shares in particular. Depending on such assessments, one or more of such Reporting Persons may acquire additional shares or may sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of the shares of Common Stock. Such actions will depend on a variety of factors, including current and anticipated trading prices for the Common Stock, alternative investment opportunities, and general economic, financial market and industry conditions.
Except as described in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons nor any other person named in Schedule A has any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any matter required to be disclosed in response to paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The shares of Common Stock were not acquired for the purpose, nor with the effect, of changing or influencing the control of the Company. The Reporting Persons are filing this Statement on Schedule 13D, as opposed to Schedule 13G, due to the fact that the shares of Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. Kopp directly and indirectly (other than through KIA) exceed 1% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. Neither any of the Reporting Persons nor any client or shareholder thereof is a member of a “group” for any purpose.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a)
Generally by virtue of limited powers of attorney and/or investment advisory agreements, KIA is the beneficial owner of 11,718,544 shares, or approximately 10.7%, of the Common Stock. By virtue of the relationships described in Item 2 of this statement, KHCLLC and Mr. Kopp may have indirect beneficial ownership of the shares beneficially owned by KIA.
In addition, Mr. Kopp’s indirect beneficial ownership may comprise Common Stock held in the Kopp Family Foundation, a 501(c)(3) corporation for which he serves as a director, and held in his wife’s individual retirement account (“IRA”) and directly by her. Mr. Kopp’s direct beneficial ownership may comprise Common Stock held in his IRA and held directly by him. In the aggregate, including the shares beneficially owned by KIA, under Section 13 of the Act, Mr. Kopp may be deemed beneficially to own a total of 11,733,544 shares, or approximately 10.7% of the Common Stock.
(b)
KIA has the sole power to vote 11,718,544 shares of the Common Stock. Pursuant to the limited powers of attorney granted to KIA by its clients, which generally are terminable immediately upon notice, KIA in effect shares with the majority of its clients the power to dispose of the 3,733,050 shares of Common Stock owned individually by its clients. Mr. Kopp has the sole power to dispose of 8,000,494 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned directly and indirectly (other than through KIA) by him.
(c)
The identity of the Reporting Person, type of transaction, date, number of shares, and price per share (excluding commission) for all transactions in the Common Stock by the Reporting Persons within the past 60 days are set forth on Schedule B attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein. Substantially all trades by the Reporting Persons are done in the over-the-counter market.
6
(d)
With respect to the shares held in a fiduciary or representative capacity, persons other than the Reporting Persons have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from or the proceeds of the sale of such shares of Common Stock.
(e)
Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
Except as disclosed in this Schedule 13D, there are no contracts, understandings, or relationships between the Reporting Persons and any third person with respect to the shares of Company common stock. The filing of this Schedule shall NOT be construed as an admission that a Reporting Person or any other person is a beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock for any purpose, including for purposes of Sections 13, 14 or 16 of the Act.
Item 7. Material to Be Filed as Exhibits

On May 5, 2009, Tang Capital Partners, LP filed a creditor derivative lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Issuer.

On May 10, 2009, Tang Capital Partners, LP entered into a settlement and exchange offer agreement with the Issuer pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to commence an offer to exchange all of the $68.3 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2011 (“2011 Notes”) at a purchase price for each $1,000 principal amount of (i) $500 in cash, plus accrued interest, (ii) $140 worth of Common Stock equal to 205.8824 shares of Common Stock, and (iii) $310 of new 3.125% Convertible Senior Notes due in May 2013 (“2013 Notes”). Tang Capital Partners, LP agreed to tender into the exchange offer and withdraw the lawsuit if the exchange offer was consummated. The exchange offer was commenced on May 22, 2009 and completed on June 24, 2009. Pursuant to the exchange offer, Tang Capital Partners, LP tendered all $46,153,000 of its 2011 Notes on June 22, 2009.

BioSante Pharmaceuticals and Cell Genesys Sign Definitive Merger Agreement
Jun 30, 2009 08:00:08 (ET)
LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. & SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Jun 30, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (BPAX, Trade ) and Cell Genesys (CEGE, Trade ), today announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement by which the companies will merge in an all-stock transaction, with BioSante as the surviving company.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Cell Genesys stockholders will receive 0.1615 of a share of BioSante common stock for each share of Cell Genesys common stock they own. Based on the companies' closing stock prices on June 29, 2009, this represents $0.347 per share of consideration to be received by the Cell Genesys stockholders, or a total consideration of approximately $38 million, and a premium of 12 percent to the closing sale price of Cell Genesys' common stock on that date. Upon completion of the transaction, BioSante stockholders prior to the merger are expected to own approximately 60.4 percent of the outstanding shares of the combined company and the former Cell Genesys stockholders are expected to own 39.6 percent.
Stephen M. Simes, president and CEO of BioSante, and Phillip B. Donenberg, CFO of BioSante, will continue to serve in those positions in the merged company. Dr. Louis W. Sullivan, chairman of the board of BioSante, will continue in that position. It is anticipated that Stephen A. Sherwin, M.D., chairman and CEO of Cell Genesys, and John T. Potts, Jr., M.D., a current member of the Cell Genesys board, will join the board of the merged company upon completion of the merger.
The merged company will focus primarily on LibiGel, BioSante's testosterone gel in Phase III clinical development under a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agreed Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD). The merged company also will seek future development opportunities for GVAX Immunotherapies including potential combination with BioVant(TM), BioSante's vaccine adjuvant, as well as possible external collaborations, and also will seek to outlicense other Cell Genesys technologies. In addition, the merged company will acquire a 16 percent equity ownership position in Ceregene, Inc., a former subsidiary of Cell Genesys which is developing gene therapies for neurodegenerative disorders.
"This merger allows BioSante to secure additional funding required for the continued Phase III development of LibiGel for FSD and offers the potential to expand our product development portfolio with the addition of GVAX Immunotherapies," said Stephen M. Simes, BioSante's president and CEO. "LibiGel remains the only pharmaceutical product in the U.S. in active development for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in menopausal women. We continue to believe that LibiGel can be the first product approved by the FDA for the common and unmet medical need of FSD with the completion of Phase III studies targeted for mid-to-late 2010. In addition, our company has had a long-standing interest in immunotherapy based on our proprietary vaccine adjuvant, BioVant, and we look forward to future value-creating opportunities for our stockholders based on Cell Genesys' technologies and other assets."
"Over the past several months, we have had the opportunity to evaluate a wide range of strategic alternatives for our company including several merger opportunities. After reviewing various strategic alternatives, engaging in discussions with a number of other potential merger candidates and conducting extensive due diligence on BioSante's product development and business activities, our board of directors has voted to recommend a merger with BioSante," stated Stephen A. Sherwin, M.D., chairman and CEO of Cell Genesys. "We believe that BioSante's lead product, LibiGel, represents a compelling near term product opportunity with significant upside potential. We also are impressed with BioSante's record of achievement including the recent launch of Elestrin(TM) (estradiol gel) as well as their CaP nanotechnology platform which includes BioVant, a novel vaccine adjuvant with potential in immunotherapy."
The merger agreement has been approved unanimously by the boards of directors of both BioSante and Cell Genesys and will need to be approved by both BioSante's and Cell Genesys' stockholders. The merger is subject to customary closing conditions as well as a condition requiring Cell Genesys' net cash, less certain expenses and liabilities, to be a specified minimum amount as of 10 calendar days prior to the anticipated closing date of the merger.
As of June 23, 2009, Cell Genesys' cash balance was approximately $36 million and BioSante's cash and cash equivalents balance was approximately $6.2 million. As a result of Cell Genesys' recently completed exchange offer, Cell Genesys has outstanding approximately $20.8 million of new 3.125% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2013 and $1 million of the original 3.125% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2011.
The transaction is expected to be completed in the late third quarter or early fourth quarter of 2009. BioSante was advised in this transaction by Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and Cell Genesys was advised by Lazard.
About BioVant
An adjuvant is a substance that, when added to a vaccine, enhances the vaccine's effectiveness by enhancing the body's immune response. In multiple studies, BioVant has been shown to be safe and cause minimal dose-dependent inflammation at the injection site, and has been shown both to prevent the manifestation of allergic response, and, to effectively 'switch off' established Th2-T-cell-associated allergic reactions. BioVant also may permit a reduction in the needed dosage of vaccine, thereby potentially improving the safety profile of the vaccine.
About GVAX Immunotherapies
GVAX cancer immunotherapies are non patient-specific therapies comprised of whole tumor cells that have been modified to secrete GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor), an immune stimulatory cytokine, and then irradiated for safety. GVAX is administered via intradermal injections on an outpatient basis. To date, over 1000 patients have been treated in clinical trials with different GVAX cancer immunotherapies for various types of cancer. Although phase III trials in prostate cancer were discontinued in 2008, phase II trials under physician investigator sponsored-INDs are ongoing at the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins Hospital in pancreatic cancer, leukemia and breast cancer.
About BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
BioSante is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing products for female sexual health, menopause, contraception and male hypogonadism. BioSante's lead products include LibiGel(R) (transdermal testosterone gel) in Phase III clinical development by BioSante under a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) SPA (Special Protocol Assessment) for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), and Elestrin(TM) (estradiol gel) developed through FDA approval by BioSante, indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause, currently marketed in the U.S. Also in development are Bio-T-Gel(TM), a testosterone gel for male hypogonadism, and an oral contraceptive in Phase II clinical development using BioSante patented technology.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 24, 2009, Cell Genesys, Inc. (the “Company”) settled its offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) for each $1,000 principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 3.125% Convertible Senior Notes due November 1, 2011 (the “Existing Notes”): (i) 205.8824 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), plus (ii) a cash payment of $500.00 plus accrued and unpaid interest on such $1,000 principal amount of the Existing Notes to, but excluding the settlement date of the Exchange Offer, plus (iii) $310.00 principal amount of our 3.125% Convertible Senior Notes due May 1, 2013 (the “New Notes”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Company’s Offer to Exchange, dated May 22, 2009, as amended (the “Offer to Exchange”), and the related Letter of Transmittal. The Company accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer $67,073,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes (the “Accepted Notes”) from the holders thereof (the “Holders”). As of immediately following settlement of the Exchange Offer, $1,234,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes were outstanding.
At settlement of the Exchange Offer, in exchange for the Accepted Notes, the Company issued to the Holders 13,809,136 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $20,783,000 in aggregate principal amount of the New Notes and paid to the Holders an aggregate of $33,854,717.07 in cash, which includes accrued and unpaid interest on the Accepted Notes through June 23, 2009 and if applicable, cash in lieu of (i) fractional shares of the Company’s Common Stock and (ii) the difference between rounded and unrounded principal amounts of the New Notes, rounded down to nearest whole cent.
The New Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of June 24, 2009 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), entered into immediately prior to the settlement of the Exchange Offer.
The New Notes are:
•
limited to $20,783,000 in aggregate principal amount;
•
accruing interest at the rate of 3.125% per annum starting on the settlement date of the Exchange Offer, which interest is payable on the New Notes by the Company on May 1 and November 1 of each year through maturity, commencing on November 1, 2009;
•
the Company’s general, unsecured obligations, ranking equally with all of the Company’s existing and future unsubordinated, unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any subordinated indebtedness, but the New Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the related security, and structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and other indebtedness of the Company’s subsidiaries;
•
convertible, at each Holder’s option and at any time prior to the close of business on the business day prior to May 1, 2013, into the Company’s Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.68 per share, such that the New Notes shall initially be convertible into 1,470.5882 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the New Notes, subject to adjustment, including an adjustment to increase the number of shares issuable if a Holder converts such Holder’s New Notes under certain circumstances in connection with a change of control transaction;
•
subject to repurchase by the Company at each Holder’s option if a fundamental change occurs, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest (and additional amounts, if any) to, but not including, the repurchase date;
•
subject to redemption for cash by the Company at any time on or after May 1, 2011, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Notes if the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock has exceeded 150% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days in any period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the mailing of the notice of redemption; and
•
due on May 1, 2013, unless earlier converted, redeemed by the Company at each Holder’s option, or repurchased by the Company at each Holder’s option.
The Indenture does not contain any financial covenants and does not restrict the Company or its subsidiaries from paying dividends, incurring additional debt or issuing or repurchasing the Company’s other securities. In addition, the Indenture does not protect the Holders in the event of a highly leveraged transaction or a fundamental change of the Company except in certain circumstances specified in the Indenture.
No sinking fund is provided for the New Notes. The New Notes are not subject to defeasance. The New Notes are issued only in registered form in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 above that amount. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of New Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the New Notes. Instead, the Company will pay cash to the Holders in an amount equal to the market value of that fractional share based upon the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the conversion date. The Holders may convert their New Notes only in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The issuance and delivery of any shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the New Notes by a Holder will be limited so that such Holder would not become a beneficial owner of more than 19.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time, subject to certain exceptions.
The Holders may present the New Notes for conversion, registration of transfer and exchange, without service charge, at the Company’s office or agency in New York City, which shall initially be the office or agency of the trustee in New York City.
If there is an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture), the principal of and premium, if any, on all the New Notes and the interest accrued thereon may be declared immediately due and payable, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. Each of the following is an Event of Default under the Indenture:
(1) the Company’s failure to pay when due the principal of any of the New Notes at maturity, upon redemption or exercise of a repurchase right or otherwise;
(2) the Company’s failure to pay an installment of interest (including additional amounts, if any) on any of the New Notes for 30 days after the date when due;
(3) the Company’s failure to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in the New Notes or the Indenture for a period of 60 days after written notice of such failure, requiring the Company to remedy the same, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the New Notes then outstanding;
(4) a default under any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is a “significant subsidiary” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of which is in an amount in excess of $10.0 million, for a period of 30 days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the New Notes then outstanding, which default:
¡ is caused by a failure to pay principal or interest when due on such indebtedness by the end of the applicable grace period, if any, unless such indebtedness is discharged; or
¡ results in the acceleration of such indebtedness, unless such acceleration is waived, cured, rescinded or annulled or such indebtedness is discharged; and
