Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No.1 (the “Amendment”) amends, and restates in its entirety, the statement on Schedule 13G originally filed by Gilead Sciences, Inc. (“Gilead” or the “Reporting Person”) and Gilead Sciences Ireland UC (“GSIUC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gilead, on May 3, 2019 (the “Initial Schedule 13G”). Although the actual number and percentage of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Common Stock”), of Hookipa Pharma Inc. (the “Issuer”) beneficially owned by Gilead have not changed since the filing of the Initial Schedule 13G, this Amendment is being filed to (1) remove GSIUC as a reporting person and (2) reflect the transfer in October 2019 of 807,445 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer previously owned by GSIUC to the Reporting Person. The Reporting Person, as the controlling person of GSIUC, had reported beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock owned by GSIUC in the Initial Schedule 13G.
