**Item 8.01 Other Events.**

As previously announced on March 10, 2023, Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc. ("Sangamo") had approximately $34.4 million in deposits with Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, California, substantially all of which was uninsured. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") issued a press release on March 10, 2023 stating that SVB was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the FDIC as receiver.

On March 13, 2023, the FDIC stated that it transferred all deposits of SVB to a new FDIC-operated bridge bank in an action designed to protect all depositors of SVB.

Following this transfer by the FDIC, Sangamo has been able to access the entirety of its deposits formerly with SVB and transferred substantially all such deposits to alternative global banking providers on March 13, 2023. Sangamo expects to migrate all banking services previously obtained from SVB to alternative global banking providers.

*Forward-Looking Statements*

*This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements regarding Sangamo's current expectations. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding migration of banking services to banking providers other than SVB. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties related to the migration of, and utilization of alternative providers for, banking services.

The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is as of March 13, 2023, and Sangamo undertakes no duty to update forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K except as required by applicable laws.*
