SCHEDULE 13D
Introductory Statement.
This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on November 9, 2023 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) by AstraZeneca PLC and AstraZeneca Holdings B.V. relating to the Ordinary Shares of Cellectis S.A. Except as otherwise specified in this Amendment No. 1, the Original Schedule 13D is unmodified. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 1 have the respective meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:
“Following a consultation process with the Issuer’s comité social et économique (the “Works Council”), which was duly completed on November 6, 2023, the Issuer and AZ Holdings entered into the Subsequent Investment Agreement on November 14, 2023 in substantially the form attached to the MOU.
The closing of the Additional Investment remains subject to (i) the approval of the extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer to be called in the coming days and expected to be held on or around December 22, 2023, (ii) clearance of such investment from the French Ministry of Economy according to the foreign direct investment French regulations, and (iii) other customary closing conditions. Immediately following the Additional Investment, it is anticipated that AZ Holdings would own approximately 44% of the Ordinary Shares then outstanding and 30% of the voting rights of the Issuer (based on the number of voting rights of the Issuer currently outstanding).”
