*Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.*

On November 19, 2013, Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (“Amicus”) entered into a Revised Agreement (the “Revised Agreement”) with GSK Group Limited (“GSK”) pursuant to which Amicus has obtained global rights to develop and commercialize the investigational pharmacological chaperone migalastat HCl as a monotherapy and in combination with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for Fabry disease. The Revised Agreement amends and replaces in its entirety the Expanded Collaboration Agreement entered into between Amicus and GSK on July 17, 2012 for the development and commercialization of migalastat HCl. Under the terms of the Revised Agreement, there is no upfront payment from Amicus to GSK. For the next-generation Fabry ERT (migalastat HCl co-formulated with ERT), GSK is eligible to receive single-digit royalties on net sales in eight major markets outside the U.S. For migalastat HCl monotherapy, GSK is eligible to receive post-approval and sales-based milestones, as well as tiered royalties in the mid-teens in eight major markets outside the U.S.

Additionally, simultaneous with entry into the Revised Agreement, Amicus and GSK entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) pursuant to which GSK will purchase approximately 1.5 million shares of Amicus common stock at a price of $2.00 per share. The SPA provides GSK with customary registration rights for the shares and includes a six-month lock-up provision.

The foregoing description of the Revised Agreement and SPA is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Revised Agreement and SPA to be filed at a later date with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). A copy of the press release announcing the collaboration between Amicus and GSK is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

*Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.*

On November 19, 2013, Amicus and GSK entered into the SPA pursuant to which GSK will purchase 1.5 million shares of unregistered Amicus common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ Shares”), at a price of $2.00 per share. The total purchase price for the Shares is $3 million; the Company will receive all proceeds from the sale of the Shares. The Shares will be sold by Amicus to GSK in accordance with SEC Rule 506 and pursuant to GSK’s qualification as an “accredited investor” under SEC Rule 501. The sale of the Shares is expected to close on or about November 25, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.

*Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.*
