SCHEDULE 13D

Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) reflects changes to the information in the Schedule 13D relating to the Common Stock, par value $0.000001 (the “Shares”) of Instil Bio, Inc. (the “Issuer” or the “Company”) filed on March 23, 2021 by the Reporting Persons (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”).

Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D. With the exception of the changes indicated below, the Schedule 13D is unchanged.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

Solely as a result of the periodic vesting of options held directly by Bronson Crouch, the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, Mr. Crouch was deemed to beneficially own additional shares of Common Stock as follows:

•

On August 6, 2022, Mr. Crouch’s vesting of options caused the number of shares to be 46,220,773 resulting in the Reporting Persons’ having aggregate beneficial ownership of 34.60%.

•

On August 6, 2023, Mr. Crouch’s vesting of options caused the number of shares to be 48,301,188 resulting in the Reporting Persons’ having aggregate beneficial ownership of 35.60%.

•

On August 10, 2024, Mr. Crouch’s vesting of options caused the number of shares to be 2,518,124 (which would have been equal to 50,362,470 on a pre-split basis**) resulting in the Reporting Persons’ having aggregate beneficial ownership of 36.60%.

**	On December 7, 2023, the Issuer effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its common stock. As a result, the number of Shares held by the Reporting Persons, as well as all other common stockholders, was proportionately reduced on such date.

All changes were solely the result of the periodic vesting of options held by Mr. Crouch. Mr. Crouch did not exercise any such options during this period, and no other Reporting Person acquired any Common Stock during this period. Additionally, Mr. Crouch reports his beneficial ownership in accordance with the filing requirements of Section 16(a) of the Act.

Item 5.
