Item 1.       Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed on June 7, 2019, and amended on February 14, 2020, December 7, 2020 and April 16, 2021 (the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the ordinary shares, nominal value £0.01 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) of Bicycle Therapeutics plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (the “Issuer”). GlaxoSmithKline plc is filing this amendment to disclose its new percentage beneficial ownership in the Issuer, which has been decreased as a result of (1) the disposition of American Depositary Shares representing Ordinary Shares by the Reporting Person and (2) an increase in the outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at B900, Babraham Research Campus, Cambridge, CB22 3AT, United Kingdom.

Item 2.      Identity and Background.

The response set forth in Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by deleting Schedule 1 in its entirety and replacing it with Schedule 1 attached.

 

Item 5.      Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

The response set forth in Items 5 (a) , (b) and (c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by deleting the previous response in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

 

(a), (b) The information contained in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 13 on each of the cover pages of this Statement is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.

 

(c) Except as described herein, no transaction in Ordinary Shares were effected during the past 60 days by GlaxoSmithKline plc
