Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 7 (this “Amendment No. 7”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D of Cellectis S.A. (the “Reporting Person”) initially filed with the SEC on May 29, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on June 15, 2018, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on September 23, 2019, Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on July 9, 2020, Amendment No. 4 thereto filed on October 23, 2020, Amendment No. 5 thereto filed on November 1, 2022 and Amendment No. 6 thereto (“Amendment No. 6”) filed on January 13, 2023 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D.

This Amendment No. 7 is being filed by the Reporting Person to report: (i) the closing of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement (as set forth in Item 4 below) and the resulting change in percentage of beneficial ownership of the Reporting Person; and (ii) changes in disclosure responsive to Items 4 and 6 of the Schedule 13D, as set forth below.

The share numbers reflected in this Amendment No. 7 give effect to (1) the 1-for-10 reverse stock split effected by the Company on April 24, 2023 and (2) the 1-for-5 reverse stock split effected by the Company on May 31, 2023.

Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 7 does not modify or amend any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Items that have been supplemented provide additional, supplemental information to the information reported in the Schedule 13D and do not supersede such existing information.

As a result of the Transactions described herein, on May 31, 2023 the Reporting Person ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Issuer’s Common Stock (which was re-classified as Class A common stock as part of the Transactions described herein). The filing of this Amendment No. 7 represents the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Person.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

As previously reported, on January 13, 2023, the Issuer entered into a certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated as of April 14, 2023, by and among the Company, Cibus Global LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Calypso Merger Subsidiary, LLC (a newly-formed, wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer) and others named therein (as amended, the “Merger Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated thereby the “Transactions”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the businesses of Merger Partner and the Company were to be combined. On May 31, 2023, the Company completed the Transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement. Following the completion of the Transactions, the Reporting Person ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of Issuer’s Common Stock.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5(a) – (c) is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

(a) – (c) The Reporting Person beneficially owns 479,264 shares of Common Stock, representing 2.9% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company. The percentage of beneficial ownership of the Reporting Person is based upon 16,582,599 shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding as of May 31, 2023 after the closing of the Transactions, as reported in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 1, 2023.

At the time of the filing of Amendment No. 6 to the Reporting Person’s Schedule 13D on January 13, 2023, the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person represented 49.1% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

Since the filing of Amendment No. 6, the Reporting Person has not effected any transactions in the Company’s Common Stock or other securities.

The Reporting Person possesses sole power to vote and sole power to dispose of all the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person.

(e) As a result of the transactions described herein, on May 31, 2023 the Reporting Person ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Issuer’s Common Stock.

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

Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

The Management Services Agreement between the Reporting Person and the Issuer, dated as of January 1, 2016 and amended as of July 25, 2017, and the Stockholders Agreement were terminated in conjunction with the Merger Agreement.
