This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D, dated December 29, 2010 and filed on January 11, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated February 3, 2012 and filed on February 7, 2012 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), relating to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Transgenomic, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).  Mr. Randal J. Kirk (“Mr. Kirk”), Third Security Senior Staff 2008 LLC (“Senior Staff”), a Virginia limited liability company that is managed by Third Security, LLC (“Third Security”), a Virginia limited liability company controlled by Mr. Kirk, Third Security Staff 2010 LLC (“Staff”), a Virginia limited liability company that is managed by Third Security, and Third Security Incentive 2010 LLC (“Incentive” and, together with Senior Staff and Staff, the “Investors” and, the Investors together with Mr. Kirk and Third Security, the “Reporting Persons”), a Virginia limited liability company that is managed by Third Security, are filing this Amendment to disclose the acquisition by the Investors of an aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock (which number assumes the exercise of warrants to purchase Common Stock purchased by the Investors) in connection with a private placement by the Issuer on January 25, 2013.
 
Except as set forth below, there are no changes to the information set forth in the Original Schedule 13D.
 
Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:
 
On January 25, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with various investors (filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A, dated January 30, 2013, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which it issued and sold to such investors (i) 16,600,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Financing Shares”) at a purchase price of $0.50 per share and (ii) warrants (in the form filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A, dated January 30, 2013, the “Financing Warrants”) to acquire up to 8,300,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.75 per share (the “Financing Warrant Shares”) (such transaction the “Financing”).  The Investors purchased an aggregate of 6,000,000 Financing Shares and 3,000,000 Financing Warrants (such shares issuable upon exercise of these Financing Warrants being herein referred to as the “Investor Financing Warrant Shares”) in the Financing.  Upon full exercise of the Financing Warrants, the Company will receive an additional $2,250,000 from the Investors.
 
The foregoing references to and description of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Financing Warrants do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of the Securities Agreement and the Financing Warrants, which are included as Exhibits 13 and 14 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated by reference to this Item 3.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
 
The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 is incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Persons acquired any and all Company securities for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may, from time to time, depending upon market conditions and other factors deemed relevant by the Reporting Persons, acquire additional shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other convertible securities of the Company. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to, and may in the future choose to, change their purpose with respect to the investment and take such actions as they deem appropriate in light of the circumstances including, without limitation, to dispose of, in the open market, in a privately negotiated transaction, by transfer, by exchange or by gift, all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company that they now own or may hereafter acquire.  Any decision of the Reporting Persons to increase their holdings in Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, will depend, however, on numerous factors, including, without limitation, the price of shares of Common Stock, the terms and conditions related to their purchase and sale, the prospects and profitability of the Company, other business and investment alternatives of the Reporting Persons, tax considerations and general economic and market conditions.  At any time, the Reporting Persons, or any of them, may determine to dispose of some or all of their holdings of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock depending on those and other considerations.
 
At the date of this Statement, other than as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons do have plans or proposals which would result in:
 
(a)               The acquisition of additional securities of the Company.
 
If (i) the Preferred Shares issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Warrant Shares issued upon full exercise of the Warrants are converted into shares of Common Stock, at a conversion price of $0.58 per share, (ii) the Note Conversion Warrants are exercised in full for the Note Conversion Warrant Shares and (iii) the Financing Warrants held by the Investors are exercised in full for the Investor Financing Warrant Shares, the Investors could own 29,263,131 shares of Common Stock.
 
(d)               A change in the present board of directors of the Company.
 
Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled, as a separate voting group, at each annual or special election of directors, to elect two directors to the Board (each a “Series A Director”).  In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Series A Directors chosen by the Investors were elected to the Board as of the closing of the transaction under the Purchase Agreement.
 
Except as described above, at the date of this Statement, each of the Reporting Persons has no present plan or proposal that would result in:
 
(a)               The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company, or the disposition of securities of the Company;
 
(b)               An extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
 
(c)               A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
 
 
 

 
 
CUSIP No. 89365K206
Page 9 of 12
 
(d)               Any change in the present board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;
 
(e)               Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company;
 
(f)                Any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure, including but not limited to, if the Company is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940;
 
(g)               Changes in the Company’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person;
 
(h)               Causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;
 
(i)                A class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or
 
(j)                Any action similar to any of those actions enumerated above.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
 
The information contained on the cover pages to this Statement and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2, 3, 4 and 6 is incorporated herein by reference.
 
(a) and (b)         See Items 11 and 13 of the cover pages to this Statement for the aggregate number of shares and percentage of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by the Reporting Persons. The percentage ownership is calculated based on 71,645,725 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as reported on the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 8, 2012, increased by (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock issued upon the execution of the Purchase Agreement (2,586,205 shares of Preferred Stock convertible into 10,344,820 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.58 per share) and the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (1,293,102 shares of Preferred Stock convertible into 5,172,408 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.58 per share) are convertible (an aggregate of 15,517,228 shares of Common Stock), (ii) the Note Conversion Warrant Shares, (iii) the Financing Shares and (iv) the Investor Financing Warrant Shares.
