AMENDMENT NO. 23
TO
SCHEDULE 13D
The Reporting Persons hereby amend their Schedule 13D relating
to the Common Stock, $0.02 per share of Cypress BioScience Incorporation (the
"Issuer") principally to reflect the "cashless" exercise by Allen & Company
Incorporated ("ACI") of a total of 228,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.
In this Amendment, the Reporting Persons have omitted certain formerly reporting
persons for one of the following reasons: (i) they no longer own any shares of
Common Stock, (ii) they own a de minimus amount of Common Stock, or (iii) they
are no longer associated with Allen Holding Inc. ("AHI") or ACI. The Reporting
Persons have also omitted trades made in ACI's capacity as a market maker.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Pursuant to the April 20, 1998 "cashless" exercise of a
warrant for 228,000 shares of Common Stock, ACI received 37,668 shares of
restricted Common Stock.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) As of the close of business on April 20, 1998, the
Reporting Persons, by virtue of the language of Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i), may be
deemed to own beneficially in the aggregate the number and percentage of the
Issuer's Common Stock set forth below (based upon information provided by the
Issuer in its Annual report on Form 10-K405, which reports that the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding, as of March 1, 1999 is 42,607,582).
