This statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) relates to the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of ChemoCentryx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 850 Maude Avenue Mountain View, CA 94043.
 
Item 2. Identity and Background
 
This Statement is being filed on behalf of GlaxoSmithKline plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales. GlaxoSmithKline plc and its subsidiaries constitute a major global healthcare group engaged in the creation, discovery, development, manufacture and marketing of pharmaceutical and consumer healthcare products with its principal offices located at 980 Great West Road, Brentford, Middlesex TW8 9GS England. Set forth in Schedule 1 to this Statement are the name, business address and present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each executive officer and director of GlaxoSmithKline plc. The Common Stock which is the subject of this Statement is held of record by Glaxo Group Limited (“GSK”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of GlaxoSmithKline plc.
 
During the last five years prior to the date hereof, neither GlaxoSmithKline plc nor, to the best knowledge of GlaxoSmithKline plc, any of the other persons with respect to whom information is given in response to this Item 2 has been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been a party to a civil proceeding ending in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
 
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
 
GSK acquired from the Issuer 700,000 shares of Common Stock on February 8, 2012 in a private placement.  The total consideration paid by GSK for these shares was $7,000,000.00, and such consideration was obtained from the working capital of GSK.  GSK also acquired 6,643,492 shares of Common Stock on February 13, 2012 upon the conversion of 6,493,506 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and 6,793,478 shares of Series E Preferred Stock (together, the “Preferred Stock”) into 3,246,753 and 3,396,739 shares of Common Stock, respectively, at the closing of the Issuer’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), conducted pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1 originally filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2011, as amended (the “Registration Statement”).  The conversion ratio was one share of Common Stock for every two shares of Preferred Stock, rounded down to the next whole number, for no additional consideration.
 
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
 
A.           GSK Investments in the Issuer
 
Prior to the most recent acquisition described in Item 3 above, the total holdings of GSK of securities in the Issuer consisted of 700,000 shares of Common Stock, 6,493,506 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and 6,793,478 shares of Series E Preferred Stock.  The 700,000 shares of Common Stock were purchased in a private placement pursuant to a pre-existing arrangement with the Issuer that was reflected in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement described below.  Pursuant to the automatic conversion of Preferred Shares in connection with the IPO, as described in Item 3 above, the holdings of GSK totaled 7,343,492 shares of Common Stock as of February 13, 2012. These shares of Common Stock are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).
 
B.           Investors’ Rights Agreement
 
On September 8, 2011, GSK, the Issuer and certain other investors entered into the Amended and Restated Investors Rights Agreement (the “Investors’ Rights Agreement”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 hereto. The registration rights granted to GSK and its affiliates pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement include the following:
 
 
3

 
 
·  
Demand Rights.  Beginning upon the expiration of the Lock Up Agreement described below, subject to specified limitations, the holders of at least a majority of the Issuer’s (1) Series A Preferred Stock, (2) Series B Preferred Stock, (3) Series C Preferred Stock, or (4) Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock (the “Registrable Securities”), may require that the Issuer register all or a portion of these securities for sale under the Securities Act, as long as at least 30% of the Registrable Securities are sought to be registered, or a lesser percentage if the anticipated aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, exceeds $10,000,000.  The Issuer may be required to effect one such registration with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock.  Stockholders with these registration rights who are not part of an initial registration demand are entitled to notice and are entitled to include their shares of common stock in the registration. Under certain circumstances, the underwriters, if any, may limit the number of shares included in any such registration.
 
·  
Incidental Rights.    If at any time after the expiration of the Lock Up Agreement, the Issuer proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act, for sale to the public, either for its own account or for the account of other security holders, or both, subject to certain exceptions, the holders of the Registrable Securities are entitled to notice of such registration and are entitled to include their common stock in the registration. Under certain circumstances, the underwriters, if any, may limit the number of shares included in any such registration.
 
·  
Form S-3 Rights.    In addition, the holders of the Registrable Securities have the right to cause the Issuer to register all or a portion of these shares on a Form S-3, provided that the Issuer is eligible to use this form. The Issuer will not be required to effect such a registration unless the aggregate offering price of the shares to be registered, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, is expected to exceed $2,000,000, and will only be required to effect one such registration in any twelve-month period. Stockholders with these registration rights who are not part of an initial registration demand are entitled to notice and are entitled to include their shares of common stock in the registration.
 
GSK is subject to provisions in the Lock Up Agreement, which are outlined further in Section D of this Item 4.
 
C.           Series D Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement
 
On August 22, 2006, GSK and certain other investors each entered into a Series D Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement with the Issuer, which was subsequently amended on November 8, 2007 (as amended, the “Series D Stock Purchase Agreement”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2 hereto, pursuant to which GSK acquired 6,493,506 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. All of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock acquired pursuant to the Series D Purchase Agreement have been converted to Common Stock pursuant to the transactions described in Item 3 above.  Under the terms of the Series D Stock Purchase Agreement, GSK may not, without the prior written consent of the Issuer, dispose of such Common Stock (or the Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement described below) during the two-year period from and after the closing of the IPO other than pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
 
D.           Series E Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement
 
On August 26, 2008, GSK entered into a Series E Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement with the Issuer (the “Series E Stock Purchase Agreement”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3 hereto, pursuant to which GSK acquired 6,793,478 shares of Series E Preferred Stock. All of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock acquired pursuant to the Series E Purchase Agreement have been converted to Common Stock pursuant to the transactions described in Item 3 above.  Under the terms of the Series E Stock Purchase Agreement, GSK may not, without the prior written consent of the Issuer, dispose of such Common Stock during the two-year period from and after the closing of the IPO other than pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

E.           Common Stock Purchase Agreement
 
On February 8, 2012, GSK entered into a Stock Agreement with the Issuer (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4 hereto, pursuant to which GSK acquired 700,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
F.           Lock Up Agreement
 
GSK and certain other investors each entered into a lock up agreement (the “Lock Up Agreement”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 5 hereto, with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (both in their capacity as representatives of the underwriters for the IPO) (the “Underwriter Representatives”).
 
Pursuant to that Lock Up Agreement, GSK has agreed that for a period of 180 days following the date of the final prospectus relating to the IPO, it will not offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, or enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock or such other securities, or make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, subject to specified exceptions, which include but are not limited to shares obtained via open market transactions, including any registered Common Stock. The underwriters may, in their sole discretion, at any time without prior notice, subject to certain conditions, release all or any portion of the shares from the restrictions in the Lock Up Agreement.
 
The 180-day restricted period described in the preceding paragraph will be extended if:
 
·  
during the last 17 days of the 180-day restricted period, the Issuer issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to us occurs; or
 
·  
prior to the expiration of the 180-day restricted period, the Issuer announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 180-day period,
 
in which case the restrictions described in the preceding paragraph will continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the release or the occurrence of the material news or material event, unless such extension is waived, in writing, by the Underwriter Representatives on behalf of the underwriters.
