EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to Schedule 13D is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on behalf of OPKO Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“OPKO”) and relates to the common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), of Xenetic Biosciences, Inc. (the “Issuer”). This Amendment is being filed solely as a result of a change in the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Common Stock to reflect that OPKO ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, and amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed by OPKO with the SEC on July 29, 2019.



ITEM 5.	Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a)-(c) and (e) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a)

OPKO is the beneficial owner of and directly holds (i) 197,580 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer; (ii) 29,154 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred shares of the Issuer; and (iii) 40,404 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Class A 5-year warrant, or approximately 4.7% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, based on 5,633,491 shares outstanding as of September 13, 2019 as reported by the Issuer on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on September 13, 2019.

Neither Phillip Frost, M.D., OPKO’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, nor any of his affiliates own securities of the Issuer. Adam Logal, OPKO’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, is a director of the Issuer. OPKO disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer owned by Mr. Logal.


(b)	OPKO has the sole power to vote and dispose of the (i) 197,580 shares of Common Stock of Issuer; (ii) 29,154 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred shares of the Issuer; and (iii) 40,404 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Class A 5-year warrant owned by it.


(c)	There have been no transactions in the Common Shares effected by OPKO in the last 60 days.


(e)	OPKO ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Common Stock on or about September 13, 2019.
