Item 4, the securities reported in rows (6), (8) and (9) show the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon
full exercise of such reported securities and do not give effect to such blockers. Therefore, the actual number of shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person, after giving effect to such blockers, is less than the number of securities
reported in rows (6), (8) and (9).

This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") amends
the statement on Schedule 13G filed on November 21, 2019 (the "Original Schedule 13G", as amended, the "Schedule
13G"), with respect to Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the "Common Stock") of Yield10 Bioscience, Inc.
(the "Company"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings set
forth in the Schedule 13G. This Amendment amends and restates Items 4 and 5 in their entirety as set forth below.
Item 4.
|
OWNERSHIP.
|
|
|
|
The information as of the date of the event which requires filing
of this statement required by Items 4(a) – (c) is set forth in Rows 5 – 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person
hereto and is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person. The percentage set forth in Row 11 of the cover
page for each Reporting Person is based on 24,999,017 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of November 15, 2019 as
represented as issued and outstanding in the Company’s Prospectus Supplement on Form 424(b)(4) filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on November 18, 2019 and assumes the exercise of the Company's reported warrants (the "Reported Warrants")
subject to the Blockers (as defined below).
Pursuant to the terms of the Reported Warrants, the Reporting Persons
cannot exercise the Reported Warrants to the extent the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, after any such exercise, more
than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Blockers"), and the percentage set forth in Row 11 of the
cover page for each Reporting Person gives effect to the Blockers. Consequently, as of the date of the event which requires the
filing of this statement, the Reporting Persons were not able to exercise all of the Reported Warrants due to the Blockers.
The Investment Manager, which serves as the investment manager to
the Empery Funds, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all shares of Common Stock held by, and underlying the Reported Warrants
(subject to the Blockers) held by, the Empery Funds. Each of the Reporting Individuals, as Managing Members of the General Partner
of the Investment Manager with the power to exercise investment discretion, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all shares
of Common Stock held by, and underlying the Reported Warrants (subject to the Blockers) held by, the Empery Funds. The foregoing
should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by any Reporting Person as to beneficial ownership of shares of Common
Stock owned by another Reporting Person. Each of the Empery Funds and the Reporting Individuals hereby disclaims any beneficial
ownership of any such shares of Common Stock.
|
|
|
Item 5.
|
OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS.
|
|
If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the
date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check
the following: [X]
