Item 8.01 Other Events.

On February 11, 2016, TransEnterix, Inc. (the "Company") filed two resale registration statements as required by Registration Rights Agreements the Company had entered into previously.

The first resale registration statement registers for resale 42,759,127 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, owned by the investors who participated in the Company’s September 2013 PIPE financing that combined TransEnterix Surgical, Inc. and SafeStitch Medical, Inc. through a reverse merger transaction. The registration of these shares of common stock does not necessarily mean that any of the shares will be offered or sold by the investors at any point in time. The Company will receive no proceeds from the sale of any such shares. The resale registration statement filing completes the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement dated September 3, 2013.

The second resale registration statement registers for resale 15,543,413 shares of common stock issued to SOFAR S.p.A. ("SOFAR") as part of the consideration paid by the Company for the acquisition of the ALF-X Surgical Robotic System. The Company issued the shares to SOFAR in September 2015. The Company will receive no proceeds from the sale of any such shares. The resale registration statement filing completes the Company’s obligations to SOFAR under the Registration Rights Agreement dated September 21, 2015. At the current time, all of the shares registered on the SOFAR resale registration statement remain subject to the lock-up agreement SOFAR executed as part of the ALF-X Surgical Robotic System transaction documents. Subject to certain exceptions, all of the registered shares owned by SOFAR remain subject to such lock-up until September 21, 2016, when 50% of the shares will be released from the lock-up.
