In February 2025, following the termination of the Jefferies Sales Agreement, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the Citi Sales Agreement) with Citigroup Capital Markets Inc. (Citi) to provide for the offering, issuance and sale of up to an aggregate amount of $500 million of its Class A common stock from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings (the Citi ATM Offering).

As of September 30, 2025, an amount of $136.4 million remained available for future sales under the Sales Agreement. The remaining amount was fully utilized during October 2025, see Note 15, “Subsequent Events,” for additional details.

In February 2025, the Company terminated the Jefferies Sales Agreement.

In connection with the public offering of Class A common stock, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement for the offering and sale of 30.8 million shares. The Company also granted the Underwriters a 30 day option from the date of the underwriting agreement to purchase up to an additional 4.6 million shares of Class A Common Stock, which was exercised in full.

Valence Acquisition Exchangeable Shares

In May 2023, in connection with the acquisition of Valence, the Company entered into an agreement to issue up to 5.9 million shares of Class A common stock (the “Exchangeable Shares”), that may be issued upon exchange, retraction or redemption of exchangeable shares of a subsidiary of Recursion. Each exchangeable share of the subsidiary of Recursion entitles the holder to exchange those shares on a one-for-one basis for Recursion’s Class A common stock. The shares are entitled to receive dividends economically equivalent to dividends declared by Recursion, are non-voting and are subject to customary adjustments for stock splits or other reorganizations. In addition, the Company may require all outstanding exchangeable shares to be exchanged into an equal number of Class A common stock upon the occurrence of certain events and at any time following the seventh anniversary of the closing of the Valence acquisition. The exchangeable shares are substantially the economic equivalent of the Class A shares and classified as common stock within the Company’s stockholders’ equity. The Company’s calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding includes the exchangeable shares. As of September 30, 2025, 5.0 million Exchangeable shares have been redeemed for Class A shares.

Registration Rights Agreements

Tempus agreement
In November 2023, in connection with the Tempus Agreement, the Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement (or a prospectus supplement to an effective registration statement on Form S-3ASR that will become automatically effective upon filing with the SEC pursuant to Rule 462(e)) with the SEC, for resale of the shares of Class A common stock issued or issuable under the Tempus Agreement. A prospectus supplement to a registration statement (File No. 333-264845) was subsequently filed in December 2023 to register shares issued to Tempus for the initial license fee under the Tempus Agreement for resale. In December 2024, a prospectus supplement to a registration statement (File No. 333-264845) was filed to register shares issued to Tempus in payment for the 2024 annual fee. Such registration statement (File No. 333-264845) expired. A new registration statement (333-284878) was filed in February 2025 and a prospectus supplement covering all shares that have been issued under the Tempus Agreement and remained held by Tempus was filed in May 2025.

After registration of any shares issued to Tempus under the Tempus Agreement, the Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration statement effective until such date that all shares issued to Tempus covered by such registration statement have been sold or are able to be publicly sold by relying on Rule 144 of the Securities Act without registration.

Acquisitions
In November 2024, in connection with the acquisition of Exscientia, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-283347) to register the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise or settlement, as applicable, of Recursion stock options and RSUs issued under the assumed Exscientia plans and the Inducement awards. The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement as long as such Recursion stock options and RSUs issued under the assumed Exscientia plans remain outstanding.

In May 2023, in connection with the acquisition of Valence, the Company entered into a Registration Agreement providing for the registration for resale of the shares of Class A common stock and Exchange Shares issued or issuable in such transaction. A registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-272281) was filed to register the shares for resale by the holders. The registration statement must remain effective for a period of not less than three years.

Class A and B Common Shares Authorization

In April 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized two classes of common stock, Class A and Class B. The rights of the holders of Class A and B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 10 votes per share and is convertible at any time into one share of Class A common stock.

All Class B common stock is held by Christopher Gibson, Ph.D., the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), or his affiliates. As of September 30, 2025, Dr. Gibson and his affiliates held outstanding shares of Class B common
stock representing approximately 12% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares. This voting power may increase over time as Dr. Gibson vests in and exercises equity awards outstanding. If all the exchangeable equity awards held by Dr. Gibson had been fully vested, exercised and exchanged for shares of Class B common stock as of September 30, 2025, Dr. Gibson and his affiliates would hold approximately 13% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares. As a result, Dr. Gibson will be able to significantly influence any action requiring the approval of Recursion stockholders, including the election of the Board of Directors; the adoption of amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws; and the approval of any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or other major corporate transaction.
