Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed on February 23, 2012 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on May 1, 2013 and Amendment No.2 filed on August 25, 2016, the “Schedule 13D” and as amended by this Amendment No. 3, the “Statement”) with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of ChemoCentryx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). GlaxoSmithKline plc is filing this amendment to reflect its entry into an agreement to dispose of all of its shares of Common Stock. The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 850 Maude Avenue, Mountain View, California 94043. Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

The response set forth in Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by deleting Schedule 1 in its entirety and replacing it with Schedule 1 attached hereto as well as deleting the second paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

On September 30, 2016, GlaxoSmithKline plc agreed to a settlement with the SEC relating to an investigation into the commercial practices of certain subsidiaries of GlaxoSmithKline plc in China. The SEC’s order found that GlaxoSmithKline plc violated the internal controls and books and records provisions of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”). GlaxoSmithKline plc consented to the order without admitting or denying the findings, and agreed to pay a $20 million civil penalty. GlaxoSmithKline plc also agreed to provide status reports to the SEC for the next two years on its remediation and implementation of anti-corruption compliance measures.

Other than as set forth above in this Item 2, during the last five years prior to the date hereof, neither GlaxoSmithKline plc nor, to the best knowledge of GlaxoSmithKline plc, any of the other persons with respect to whom information is given in response to this Item 2 has been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been a party to a civil proceeding ending in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is amended by adding the following immediately before “G.  General” and amending the phrase

G.   General” to “H General”:

 

“G.   Stock Purchase Agreement

 

On September 17, 2018, GSK entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Vifor (International) Ltd. (“Vifor”) pursuant to which GSK agreed to sell to Vifor 7,343,492 shares of Common Stock at a price of $11.69 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $85,845,421.50. The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. GSK expects to complete the transaction in the fourth quarter of 2018.

 

References to and descriptions of the Stock Purchase Agreement are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement which is filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated by reference herein.”

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The information included in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.

This Amendment amends and supplements Item 7 of the Schedule 13D by adding the following:
