Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

Indicate by check mark whether the registrant is an emerging growth company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 (§ 230.405 of this chapter) or Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (§ 240.12b-2 of this chapter).

If an emerging growth company, indicate by check mark if the registrant has elected not to use the extended transition period for complying with any new or revised financial accounting standards provided pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act.  ☐

As previously disclosed, on July 20, 2018, Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with certain shareholders of TxCell S.A., a French société anonyme (“TxCell”), and the Company and TxCell entered into a Tender Offer Agreement (the “TOA”), pursuant to which the Company, directly or through a subsidiary, agreed to acquire 100% of the equity interests of TxCell for approximately €72 million, on a debt-free and cash-free basis. Also as previously disclosed, on October 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of 13,519,036 ordinary shares of TxCell (“TxCell Ordinary Shares”), representing approximately 53% of the outstanding share capital and voting rights of TxCell, pursuant to the SPA (the “Block Transaction”).

On November 1, 2018, pursuant to the TOA, the Company commenced a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the TxCell Ordinary Shares not held by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for the same per share price paid in the Block Transaction (€2.58 per share) (the “Offer Price”), which Ordinary Shares are being acquired by the Company from time to time during the pendency of the Offer. Pursuant to the Block Transaction, open market purchases and the Offer, the Company had acquired a total of 20,203,733 TxCell Ordinary Shares as of November 1, 2018 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately €52.1 million, representing approximately 79% of the outstanding share capital and voting rights of TxCell. If, following completion of the Offer, as it may be extended, the Company owns at least 95% of the share capital and voting rights of TxCell, the Company plans to acquire the remaining TxCell Ordinary Shares for the Offer Price through a compulsory squeeze-out procedure under French law.

As previously disclosed, the Company has also agreed to: (a) grant to certain employees (including certain members of management) of TxCell stock options to purchase approximately 150,000 shares of Company common stock, which will be granted under the Company’s existing 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, with standard vesting conditions; and (b) enter into arrangements with holders of 495,396 “free shares” of TxCell, pursuant to which the Company will purchase such shares from the holders thereof from time to time through mid-2021. The purchase price for each such free share will be based on the performance of the Company’s stock price from the announcement of the transactions contemplated by the SPA and TOA (at which time each free share was valued at €2.58) through the time of purchase (such that, for example, if the Company’s stock price doubles during that time period, the value of each free share would similarly double).

The foregoing descriptions of the SPA, the TOA and the transactions contemplated thereby are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the SPA and TOA, copies of which are included or incorporated by reference as Exhibits 2.1 through 2.4 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements regarding the Company’s current expectations. These forward looking statements include, without limitation, statements related to the anticipated completion of the Offer and the Company’s plan following the anticipated completion of the Offer to acquire the remaining TxCell Ordinary Shares for the Offer Price through a compulsory squeeze-out procedure under French law. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to complete the Offer and squeeze-out procedure on the proposed terms and schedule and the possibility that the Company may be unable to acquire 100% of the equity interests of TxCell for some period of time, if ever, which may result in increased expenditures and otherwise adversely affect the Company’s business and its ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of TxCell. Actual results may differ from those projected in forward-looking statements due to these and other risks and uncertainties that exist in the Company’s operations and business environments. These risks and uncertainties are described more fully in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2018. Forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are made as of this date, and the Company undertakes no duty to update such information except as required under applicable law.

(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired

The Company intends to file the financial statements of TxCell required by Item 9.01(a) as part of an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K no later than 71 calendar days after the required filing date for this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information

The Company intends to file the pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01(b) as part of an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K no later than 71 days after the required filing date for this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Amendment agreement to the SPA (the “Amendment Agreement”)

Dear Sirs,

Reference is made to the Share Purchase Agreement dated July 20, 2018 (the “SPA”), by and between the undersigned shareholders (the “Sellers”) of TxCell S.A., a French société anonyme having its registered office located at Les Cardoulines, allée de la Nertière, Sophia-Antipolis 06560, Valbonne (France), incorporated with the Grasse trade and companies registry under number 435 361 209 R.C.S. (the “Company”) and Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc., a company incorporated in the State of Delaware, whose head office is located at 501 Canal Blvd, Richmond, CA 94804, U.S.A.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Amendment Agreement shall bear the same meaning as the one ascribed to them in the SPA.

As a consequence of such material error, the Sellers hereby confirm that any reference made in the SPA to Belsize Asset Management GmbH shall be deemed made to Mr. Gilbert Gerber, who shall therefore be substituted with Belsize Asset Management GmbH in all its rights, liabilities and obligations arising from the SPA as from the date of the SPA.

“(vii) satisfactory evidence that the Company (A) has sent, prior to the Closing Date, a redemption request to YA II PN, Ltd. for the redemption of 28 convertible notes held by YA II PN, Ltd., in accordance with the provisions of the agreement dated June 17, 2016 for the issuance of and subscription to warrants giving access to notes convertible into shares with share subscription warrants attached, as amended from time to time, and (B) has actually fully repaid such 28 convertible notes.”

Except for the modifications described above, the other provisions of the SPA shall remain unchanged.

This Amendment Agreement (and its appendixes) and the SPA (and its appendixes) shall be read and construed as a single document.

This Amendment Agreement shall be governed as to its validity, interpretation and performance by the laws of France.

Any dispute arising in connection with this Amendment Agreement and its schedule or as a result or consequence thereof not otherwise settled shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Paris courts (tribunaux compétents du resort de la cour d’appel de Paris).

The Sellers and, for the avoidance of doubt, Mr. Gilbert Gerber and Belsize Asset Management GmbH, acknowledge and agree to irrevocably waive their rights under article 1161 of the French Civil Code and to require the invalidity and nullity of this document on the basis of article 1161 of the French Civil Code.

By signing this Amendment Agreement, the Sellers and, for the avoidance of doubt, Mr. Gilbert Gerber and Belsize Asset Management GmbH, accept and agree on the terms of such Amendment Agreement.

If you agree on the terms and conditions of this Amendment Agreement, please countersign a copy of this Amendment Agreement.

Yours faithfully,

Made on October 1^st, 2018, in twelve (12) original copies.

In addition to paragraph (b) above, the Company represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as at the date hereof and as at the date of completion of the Block Transaction, as follows:

The 2017 Registration Document (Document de Référence 2017) of the Company sets forth true, accurate and complete copies of the balance sheet (bilan) of the Company, together with the related statement of profit and loss (compte de résultat) and the notes (annexes) for the fiscal year ended on 31 December 2017, audited by its statutory auditors, accompanied by the report thereon of the Company’s statutory auditors (such audited financial statements being referred to as the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements (i) were prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles, applied on a basis consistent with, and following the procedures, policies and methods employed in preparing the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended on 31 December 2016; (ii) are complete and correct and give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities and financial position, as well as the results of operations (sont réguliers et sincères et donnent une image fidèle du patrimoine, de la situation financière, ainsi que du résultat) of the Company as of such date and for the period then ended.

The Company has not given any guarantee (including any “garanties”, “avals”, “cautions” or “lettres de confort”) for any third party obligations or has no off-balance sheet items (engagements hors bilan) or other liabilities which are not fully reflected or provisioned in the Financial Statements. More generally, the Company has no liability of any type whatsoever which is not expressly disclosed, reflected or set forth in the Financial Statements.

Since January 1^st 2018 (included), the Company has conducted its operations in the ordinary course of business, and has used its best efforts to preserve its existing businesses and relationships with employees, suppliers and others having business dealings with it.

Since January 1^st 2018 (included), with respect to the Company there has not been any Material Adverse Change, and, to the knowledge of the Company (including what could reasonably be expected to be known by Stephane Boissel, Raphael Flipo and/or François Meyer), no change, effect, event or occurrence exists or has occurred that will, or that could reasonably be expected to, result in a Material Adverse Change and there has not been any Restricted Payment, except as set forth in Schedule 5(b)(vi).

The Company has complied in all material respects with all laws relating to the determination, payment and collection of Taxes in each jurisdiction where it conducts business or exercises any other activity, and all Tax Returns required by applicable law to have been filed by or on behalf of the Company with any Governmental Entity have been filed in a timely manner, and each such Tax Return (including any Tax credit return) are true and complete and correctly reflected the Tax liabilities and all other information required to be reported thereon. The Company meets its obligations in terms of establishing and keeping records for the time period prescribed by Tax law in its jurisdiction.

All Taxes which were due under the Tax Returns referred to above (whether or not shown to be due on any such Tax Returns) have been duly and timely paid, deducted or withheld, by the

There are no encumbrances for Taxes upon the assets of the Company, other than encumbrances created solely by operation of law.

Subject to the following, the transactions contemplated herein (and in particular the Block Transaction and the Offer) will not result in the modification or loss of any favorable Tax regime applicable to the Company before the date of completion of the Block Transaction. In particular, the change of control resulting from the Block Transaction will not, by itself, trigger the forfeiture of the tax losses of the Company. The change of control resulting from the Block Transaction will not, by itself, modify the amounts of the research tax credits, it being noted that the timing of repayment of such credits may however be modified by such change of control. The Company does not benefit from any favorable Tax treatment, resulting from a specific request before the tax authorities, that depend on undertakings of the Company which will continue to bind the Company after the date of completion of the Block Transaction.

All services agreement and other transactions entered into by the Company have been made or entered into at arm’s length conditions. The Company is in possession of all supporting documents necessary to prove the arm’s length nature of these transactions.

All payments due in respect of employees’ income tax, contributions to social security and any pensions have been properly deducted by the Company and (together with any employer’s contribution) have been fully and correctly paid to the appropriate Governmental Entity. In addition, the incentive plans (including any and all warrants, stock options and free shares granted to employees and/or managers of the Company) have been implemented and issued in accordance with applicable laws.

Except as set forth in Schedule 5(c)(iv)-I, the Company does not benefit from or is not a party to, or has never benefited from or never been a party to, any subsidy (subvention), aid, tax holiday, grant program, loan at a preferential rate or on preferential terms, special contract or lease or similar benefit made available (including by way of guaranty or other assurance) by a Governmental Entity (each, a “Subsidy”). The Company has not breached any representation, condition or undertaking made, stipulated or given by it to obtain or to maintain any Subsidy. Except as set forth in Schedule 5(c)(iv)-II, neither the entering into of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, does or will, directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) contravene, conflict with or result in the violation of any of the terms or requirements of, or give any Governmental Entity the right to revoke, terminate, withdraw, suspend, cancel or modify, any Subsidy, or require any repayment of, any reapplication for or reissuance of, or any posting of additional security for the maintenance of, any Subsidy.
