Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed on March 24, 2015, with respect to the Ordinary Shares, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of Theravance Biopharma, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Issuer”). GlaxoSmithKline plc is filing this amendment to reflect its new percentage beneficial ownership in the Issuer, which has decreased as a result of an increase in the outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at PO Box 309, Ugland House, South Church Street, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)GlaxoSmithKline plc beneficially owns 9,644,807 Ordinary Shares, which represents 20.3% of 47,421,691 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of May 4, 2016.
