Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) is being filed by LFB Biotechnologies, S.A.S.U., a société par actions simplifée established under the laws of France (“LFB”), with respect to the beneficial ownership of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of TG Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

This Amendment amends and supplements the Schedule 13D initially filed by LFB with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 15, 2012 and amended on May 11, 2015 (the “Schedule 13D/A”). Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify or amend any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D/A. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D/A.

This amendment is being filed to make certain address updates, to report that the Reporting Person is no longer the beneficial holder of more than 10% of the Company’s securities and to report that in connection therewith the Reporting Person no longer has the ability to appoint a director to the Company’s board of directors.

Item 1 – Security and Issuer

Item 1 of Schedule 13D/A is hereby amended to delete the language in Item 1 in its entirety and replace the language in Item 1 with the language set forth below:

This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of TG Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 2 Gansevoort Street, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10014.”

Item 2 - Identity and Background

Item 2 of Schedule 13D/A is hereby amended to change the name of “LFB Biotechnologies, S.A.S.” to “LFB Biotechnologies, S.A.S.U.” and to change the address of each of LFB and Laboratoire Francais to the address set forth below:

“3, avenue des Tropiques

BP 40305

91 958 Courtaboeuf Cedex, France”

Item 2 of Schedule 13D/A is also hereby amended to add the following disclosure as the third paragraph of Item 2:

“The directors and executive officers of each of LFB and Laboratoire Francais, and their respective business addresses, principal occupations and citizenship, are set forth in Annex A hereto.”

Item 4 - Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of Schedule 13D/A is hereby amended by deleting the fourth and fifth sentences of Item 4 in their entirety and inserting the following immediately after the third paragraph of Item 4:

 

Page 3 of 6


CUSIP NO. 88322Q108

 

The Exchange Agreement contains a provision pursuant to which LFB has the right to have a representative appointed to the Company’s board of directors. Under this provision, on November 9, 2012, Dr. Yann Echelard was appointed as LFB’s representative to the Company’s board of directors. Effective May 15, 2018, Dr. Echelard no longer serves as LFB’s representative to the Company’s board of directors. Previously, on April 27, 2018, Dr. Echelard resigned the position of CEO of rEVO Biologics a wholly owned subsidiary of LFB. Also, effective May 30, 2018, LFB irrevocably waived the obligation of the Company’s board of directors to nominate a replacement designee of LFB for election to the board. In addition, LFB no longer has the right to nominate a director to serve on the Company’s board of directors since LFB owns less than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

LFB will continue to evaluate its investment in the Company and expects to continue to engage in communications with, without limitation, one or more stockholders of the Company, management of the Company and/or one or more members of the Company’s board of directors. LFB expects that it will, from time to time, review its investment position in the Company and may, depending on the Company’s performance and other market conditions, dispose of Common Stock either in the open market or in privately-negotiated transactions, depending upon LFB’s evaluation of the Company’s business, prospects and financial condition, the market for the Common Stock, other opportunities available to LFB, general economic conditions, stock market conditions and other factors. Depending upon the factors noted above, LFB may also decide to hold all or part of its investments in the Common Stock and/or enter into derivative transactions with institutional counterparties with respect to the Company’s securities, including the Common Stock.”

Item 5 - Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of Schedule 13D/A is hereby amended by deleting the sentence “This represents approximately 15.0% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.” and in lieu thereof substituting the following:

“This represents approximately 9.8% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.”
