On August 29, 2023, Silence Therapeutics plc published an amendment to its Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, previously included in Exhibit 99.1 to the Report on Form 6-K filed on August 16, 2023 (the “Original Report on Form 6-K”). Inadvertently, the cash flow schedule in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section included the overall decrease in cash and cash equivalents as the net cash (outflow)/inflow from financing activities, thereby overstating the decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 6-K/A updates the cash flow schedule to reflect the correct (decrease)/increase in cash and cash equivalents. Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Report on Form 6-K.
This Report on Form 6-K/A (including Exhibit 99.1) shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the registration statements on Form S-8 (File Nos. 333-248682 and 333-273576) and Form F-3 (File No. 333-260265) of Silence Therapeutics plc and to be a part thereof from the date on which this report is filed, to the extent not superseded by documents or reports subsequently filed or furnished.
