Item 8.01 Other Events.

On April 2, 2014, TransEnterix, Inc. (“the Company”) announced that it intends to conduct a public offering (the “Offering”) of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price to the public to be determined. The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for research and development, sales and marketing, and commercialization related to its SurgiBotTM system, working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The Common Stock is being offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus dated April 2, 2014 and a final prospectus supplement to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in connection with a takedown from the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-193235) declared effective by the SEC on April 2, 2014. A preliminary prospectus supplement with respect to the Offering was filed with the SEC on April 2, 2014. No sales will be made to the public until such time as a final prospectus supplement has been filed with the SEC.

The Common Stock is to be issued pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement to be entered into with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and RBC Capital Markets, LLC as the joint book-running managers. Ladenburg Thalmann and Co. and Raymond James Financial, Inc. are acting co-managers for the Offering.

On April 2, 2014, the Company issued a press release announcing the anticipated Offering. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.
