Explanatory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment Filing”) amends and updates the disclosures made in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Transcept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) on January 7, 2013 relating to Item 2.05 of Form 8-K (the “Original Filing”) in which the Company disclosed that it implemented a reduction of the Company's workforce. At that time, the Company was unable to estimate the non-cash charges associated with stock option modifications resulting from the reduction in force.

Severance and benefit continuation charges are approximately $0.3 million. Non-cash charges from stock option modifications are approximately $23,000. The Company will recognize such charges in the first quarter of 2013.
This Amendment Filing does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing, or amend or update the disclosure presented in the Original Filing, except to reflect the disclosures above.
