Acquisition of Omniome, Inc.

On July 19, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Omniome Merger Agreement”) with Omniome, Inc. (“Omniome”), Apollo Acquisition Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of ours (“Omniome Merger Sub I”), Apollo Acquisition Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ours (“Omniome Merger Sub II” and together with Omniome Merger Sub I, the “Omniome Merger Subs”), and Shareholder Representative Services, LLC, as securityholder representative. Omniome is a San Diego-based company developing a highly differentiated, proprietary short-read DNA sequencing platform capable of delivering high accuracy.

Pursuant to the Omniome Merger Agreement, we agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of Omniome, with Omniome becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of ours (the “Omniome Merger”). Omniome’s stockholders approved the Omniome Merger. No approval of our stockholders is required to consummate the Omniome Merger.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Omniome Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Omniome Merger, holders of Omniome’s outstanding equity interests will be entitled to receive approximately $600 million (composed of approximately 9.4 million shares of our common stock and $300 million in cash). Subject to the terms of the Omniome Merger Agreement and the achievement of a specified milestone, holders of Omniome’s outstanding equity interests will also be entitled to receive $200 million (composed of $100 million in cash and the rest in shares of our common stock). All amounts are subject to adjustment as specified in the Omniome Merger Agreement. As part of the Merger, we will assume certain of Omniome’s unvested stock options. Pursuant to the Omniome Merger Agreement, we will be required to register the equity portion of the merger consideration for resale with the SEC following the closing of the Merger.

The closing of the Omniome Merger is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including, among others: (1) the accuracy of representations and warranties of, and performance of covenants by, the other party (in each case, subject to certain qualifications, if applicable), (2) the absence of a continuing material adverse effect, (3) the absence of any law or order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Omniome Merger; and (4) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the United States Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.

The Company, Omniome, and the Omniome Merger Subs have made customary representations, warranties, and covenants in the Omniome Merger Agreement, including, among other things, covenants with respect to the conduct of Omniome’s business during the period between the execution of the Omniome Merger Agreement and consummation of the Omniome Merger.

The Omniome Merger Agreement contains customary termination rights for both the Company and Omniome including, but not limited to, (1) in the event that the Omniome Merger has not been consummated on or prior to December 16, 2021, (2) the parties’ mutual written agreement to terminate the Omniome Merger Agreement, or (3) a material breach by one party, which breach cannot be cured within 20 calendar days, entitling the non-breaching party to not consummate its closing conditions under the Omniome Merger Agreement.

Private Placement

On July 19, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain qualified institutional buyers and institutional accredited investors, pursuant to which we agreed to sell to the investors an aggregate of 11,214,953 shares of our common stock, at a price of $26.75 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $300 million (the “Private Placement”). The closing of the Private Placement is conditioned upon, among other customary closing conditions, the closing of the Omniome Merger.

In connection with the Private Placement, on July 19, 2021, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Private Placement investors, providing them, among other things, certain registration rights, including our obligation to register the Private Placement shares for resale with the SEC within 30 days following the closing of the Private Placement.
