DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-268104) of Rockley Photonics Holdings Limited (the “Registrant”), which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 1, 2022 and declared effective on November 9, 2022 (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was filed with respect to the offer and resale by the selling shareholders named therein from time to time of up to 443,808,239 of the Registrant’s ordinary shares.

As previously disclosed, on January 23, 2023, the Registrant filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 (the “Chapter 11 Case”) of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). As a result of the Chapter 11 Case, the Registrant’s obligations to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall be deemed canceled and the Registrant has terminated all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

Pursuant to the undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that had been registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to terminate the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and to deregister, as of the effectiveness of this Post-Effective Amendment, any and all ordinary shares registered thereunder that remain unsold as of the effectiveness date.
