EXPLANATORY NOTE
On April 3, 2015, uniQure N.V. (the Registrant) filed a registration statement, Registration No. 333-202456 (the Registration Statement), relating to the registration of sales, from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), of up to an aggregate of $250,000,000 of the Registrants debt securities, warrants, rights, purchase contracts, units and ordinary shares. On April 13, 2015, the Registrant filed a prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) by which the Registrant sold an aggregate amount of $88,500,000 in ordinary shares.
As of January 1, 2017, the Registrant no longer qualified as a foreign private issuer under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As the Registrant is no longer a foreign private issuer, it is no longer eligible to offer securities via a Form F-3 registration statement. Therefore, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being filed in order to deregister the remaining aggregate amount of $161,500,000 debt securities, warrants, rights, purchase contracts, units and ordinary shares registered for sale under the Registration Statement.
