    Item 1.  Security and Issuer

     

    This Statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) filed by OrbiMed Advisors LLC, OrbiMed Capital GP V LLC, and OrbiMed Capital GP VII LLC relates to the ordinary shares, nominal value CHF 0.05 per share (the “Shares”), of VectivBio Holding AG, a corporation limited by shares organized under the laws of Switzerland (the “Issuer”), with its principal executive offices located at Aeschenvorstadt 36, 4051 Basel, Switzerland. The Shares are listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the ticker symbol “VECT”. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.

     

    On May 21, 2023, the Issuer entered into a Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ironwood”), pursuant to which Ironwood agreed to commence as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within 10 days of the date of the Transaction Agreement), a cash tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding Shares at a price per Share equal to $17.00 (the “Offer”).

     

    In connection with the execution of the Transaction Agreement, on May 21, 2023, certain of the Issuer’s executives officers, members of its board of directors, and shareholders, including the Reporting Persons (as defined below) (together, the “Supporting Shareholders”), entered into a Tender and Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with Ironwood, pursuant to which each Supporting Shareholder agreed, among other things, to tender their Shares in the Offer and vote their Shares at any meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer (i) for, among other things, the approval and adoption of the amendment of the Issuer’s articles of association and the election to the board of directors of the Issuer and its compensation committee certain individuals designated by Ironwood (the “Board Modification”), (ii) against any proposal or motion not recommended by the Issuer’s board of directors that would be inconsistent with condition (c) set forth in Exhibit A of the Transaction Agreement, and (iii) against any change in the Issuer’s board of directors (other than the re-elections proposed to the 2023 annual general meeting of shareholders of the Issuer and the Board Modification). The Supporting Shareholders’ obligations under the Support Agreement terminate in the event that the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

     

    Item 2. Identity and Background

     

    (a) This Schedule 13D is being filed by OrbiMed Advisors LLC (“OrbiMed Advisors”), OrbiMed Capital GP V LLC (“GP V”), and OrbiMed Capital GP VII LLC (“GP VII”) (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

     

    (b) — (c), (f) OrbiMed Advisors, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware and a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, is the managing member or general partner of certain entities as more particularly described in Item 6 below.

    Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

     

    Not applicable.

     

    Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

     

    This Statement relates to Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. The Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired 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 the Reporting Persons’ respective advisory clients.

     

    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 Schedule 13D, 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
