Item 1.

Security and Issuer

 

The equity securities covered by this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 5) are shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, of Semler Scientific, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 911 Bern Court, Suite 110, San Jose, CA 95112.

 

Item 2.

Identity and Background

 

This statement is filed by Douglas Murphy-Chutorian, M.D., a U.S. citizen (the “Reporting Person”). The Reporting Person’s business address is the same as that of the Issuer, 911 Bern Court, Suite 110, San Jose, CA 95112, and his present principal occupation is serving as Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Issuer.

 

The Reporting Person has not, during the last five years, (a) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (b) been 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.

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

The information contained in Item 5 is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

 

The information contained in Item 5 is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

 

Except as set forth or incorporated by reference in this Item 4, the Reporting Person has no present plans or proposals that relate to, or that would result in, any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

On November 6, 2019, the Reporting Person sold to the Issuer warrants to purchase an aggregate of 93,797 shares of the Issuer’s common stock, originally issued on June 7, 2012 and August 31, 2012, with original exercise prices ranging from $2.00 to $4.50 per share, for a net sale dollar amount of $3,945,695.80 (or an effective price per share ranging from $41.40 to $43.90, representing the difference between the last sale price for a share of the Issuer’s common stock on November 6, 2019 and the exercise price per share of each warrant).

 

Following the sale of the warrants back to the Issuer, the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 841,175 shares of the Issuer’s common stock (approximately 11.5% based on 6,527,916 shares issued and outstanding on November 1, 2019). Other than (x) the 63,571 shares of common stock and (y) warrants to acquire an aggregate of 76,875 shares of common stock held in the Reporting Person’s family trust, over which he shares voting and investment control with his spouse, the Reporting Person has sole voting and investment control over such shares. Such beneficial ownership includes: (i) a warrant to purchase 16,875 shares of the Issuer’s common stock at $4.00 per share, which warrant expires July 31, 2023, (ii) a warrant to purchase 60,000 shares of the Issuer’s common stock at $4.50 per share, which warrant expires July 31, 2023 and (iii) an aggregate of 700,729 shares subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of November 6, 2019.

 

Depending upon future evaluations of the business prospects of the Issuer and upon other developments, including, but not limited to, general economic and business conditions and stock market conditions, the Reporting Person may purchase additional equity or other securities of the Issuer or dispose of some or all of his holdings in the open market, in public offerings, in privately negotiated transactions or in other transactions, including future dispositions back to the Issuer, or in any combination of the foregoing, subject to the Issuer’s insider trading policy and relevant applicable securities laws and regulations.

 

 

Other than the sale back to the Issuer of the warrants as described in this Item 5, the Reporting Person has not effected any transaction in the Issuer’s common stock during the 60 days prior to the date of this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 5).
