CUSIP No. 89366M201

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this Amendment) is filed by SOFAR, S.p.A. (the Investor or the Reporting Person) and amends certain Items of the Schedule 13D, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 30, 2015 and amended by Amendment No. 1, filed with the SEC on January 11, 2017.

Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment is filed with respect to the shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the Common Stock), of TransEnterix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company). The Companys principal executive offices are located at 635 Davis Drive, Suite 300, Morrisville, North Carolina 27713.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is hereby amended to read as follows:

(a)-(b) The aggregate percentage of Common Stock reported owned by the Investor is 8.9%, based upon 216,345,984 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2018.

(c) Since Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D was filed with the SEC, the Investor has had no further transactions in the Companys Common Stock. However, dilutive issuances of Common Stock by the Company have reduced the Investors percentage of beneficial ownership in the Company to less than ten percent.

(d) No person other than the Reporting Person is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, such Common Stock.

(e) Not applicable.
