SCHEDULE 13D

Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to Schedule 13D relates to the shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Axonics Modulation Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and amends the initial
statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on December 21, 2018 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on December 3, 2019, the “Original Filing”). This Amendment No.
2 is being filed to reflect the sale by BioDiscovery 4 FCPR (“FCPR”) of 300,000 shares of Common Stock in the open market. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the
information previously reported in the Original Filing. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 2 have the meaning given them in the Original Filing.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:
On January 17, 2020, FCPR sold 164,739 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in the open market through a broker’s transaction at a weighted average price of $31.513 per share. The shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from
$31.50 to $31.85 per share.
On January 22, 2020, FCPR sold 135,261 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in the open market through a broker’s transaction at a weighted average price of $31.542 per share. The shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from
$31.50 to $32.30 per share.
As a result of the above transactions, the percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock that FCPR beneficially owns was reduced by more than one percent.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(a) Based on the information reported in the Issuer’s Form 8-K filed with the Commission on December 12, 2019, there were 33,978,911 outstanding shares of Common Stock on December 12, 2019.
FCPR is the record holder of an aggregate of 2,224,128 shares of Common Stock, which represents beneficial ownership of approximately 6.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. BioDiscovery 5 is the record holder of an
aggregate of 733,333 shares of Common Stock, which represents beneficial ownership of approximately 2.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Andera, as the manager of FCPR and BioDiscovery 5, has the power to vote and dispose of securities held by FCPR and BioDiscovery 5 and may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held of record by FCPR and BioDiscovery
5. Wisniewski is a partner of Andera. Wisniewski shares the decision-making power of Andera with respect to the voting and disposition of the securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by FCPR and BioDiscovery 5. As a result, Wisniewski may be deemed
to beneficially own the securities of the Issuer held of record by FCPR and BioDiscovery 5. As a result, Wisniewski may beneficially own an aggregate of 2,957,461 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 8.7% of the outstanding Common Stock.
(b) Andera and Wisniewski have shared power to vote and dispose of 2,957,461 shares of Common Stock. FCPR has shared power to vote and dispose of 2,224,128 shares of Common Stock. BioDiscovery 5 has shared power to vote and
dispose of 733,333 shares of Common Stock.
(c) Except as reported in this Amendment No. 2, none of the Reporting Persons have effected any transactions in the Issuer’s securities within the past 60 days.
(d) Only FCPR has the right to receive dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, shares of the Issuer owned by FCPR. Similarly, only BioDiscovery 5 has the right to receive dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, shares of the Issuer owned by BioDiscovery 5.
(e) Not applicable.
