    Introductory Note
    As previously disclosed, Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into the Transaction Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2024, by and between the Company and Exscientia plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales with registered number 13483814 (“Exscientia”), as amended by the First Amendment to the Transaction Agreement (the “First Amendment”), dated as of November 5, 2024 (as amended, the “Transaction Agreement”).
    This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the completion on November 20, 2024 of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Exscientia (the “Transaction”) pursuant to a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006 (the “Scheme of Arrangement”).

    Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
    Under the Transaction Agreement, the Transaction was conditioned on, among other things, the sanction of the Scheme of Arrangement by the High Court of Justice of England and Wales (the “Court”). On November 19, 2024, the Court issued an order sanctioning the Scheme of Arrangement. Upon the delivery of such order to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales on November 20, 2024 (the “Effective Time”), the Scheme of Arrangement became effective. As a result, at the Effective Time, the Company acquired the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Exscientia in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement, and Exscientia became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
    Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement, at the Effective Time, each ordinary share in Exscientia, each with a nominal value £0.0005 per share (an “Exscientia Ordinary Share”) outstanding as of the Effective Time (each a “Scheme Share”) was acquired by Recursion (or, at Recursion’s direction, by a nominee) from the holders of the Scheme Shares (each a “Scheme Shareholder”) in exchange for 0.7729 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Company Class A Common Stock”) of the Company, par value of $0.00001 per share (the “Share Deliverable” and collectively the “Exchange Shares”, and the ratio that each Share Deliverable bears to each Scheme Share being the “Exchange Ratio”). Because each American Depositary Share in Exscientia represents a beneficial interest in one Exscientia Ordinary Share (an “Exscientia ADS”), holders of Exscientia ADSs are entitled to receive an amount of Exchange Shares equal to the Share Deliverable per Exscientia ADS. In connection with the Transaction, 102,138,419 shares of Company Class A Common Stock were issued to such Scheme Shareholders, including in respect of the Exscientia ADSs. In connection with the completion of the Transaction, the Exscientia ADSs, which previously traded under the symbol “EXAI,” ceased trading on Nasdaq and will be delisted from Nasdaq.
    At the Effective Time, and in compliance with and subject to the terms and limitations set out in the Transaction Agreement:
    •each option to acquire Exscientia Ordinary Shares or Exscientia ADSs under Exscientia’s stock plans (each such option a “Exscientia Share Option”) that was outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and that was held by a continuing service provider (each, an “Assumed Exscientia Option”) ceased to represent a right to acquire Exscientia ADSs or



    Exscientia Ordinary Shares, as applicable, and was converted into an option to acquire shares of Company Class A Common Stock (each such option, a “Company Option”) on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, exercise and expiration provisions, and subject to the severance and retention plan adopted by Exscientia in connection with the Transaction (“Retention Plan”)) as applied to such Assumed Exscientia Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that: (i) the number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock subject to each Company Option was determined by multiplying: (A) the number of Exscientia ADSs or Exscientia Ordinary Shares, as applicable, underlying such Exscientia Share Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding such product down to the nearest whole share; and (ii) the per share exercise price for each Company Option was determined by dividing: (A) the per share exercise price of such Assumed Exscientia Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding such quotient up to the nearest whole cent;
    •each Exscientia Share Option that was outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and was not an Assumed Exscientia Option was canceled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (i) the product of (A) the number of Exscientia ADSs or Exscientia Ordinary Shares, as applicable, underlying the portion of such Exscientia Share Option that was vested (including vesting pursuant to the Retention Plan) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, less (ii) a number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum of the aggregate per share exercise price of such Exscientia Share Option plus applicable tax withholding amount and other authorized deductions arising from the treatment of the Exscientia Share Options pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, by (B) the closing price of a share of Company Class A Common Stock on the closing date of the Transaction (the “Company Stock Price”);
    •each award of restricted stock units representing the right to receive Exscientia Ordinary Shares or Exscientia ADSs granted under Exscientia’s stock plans (each unit, an “Exscientia RSU”) that was outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and that was held by a continuing service provider (each such Exscientia RSU, an “Assumed Exscientia RSU”) ceased to represent a right to acquire Exscientia ADSs, or Exscientia Ordinary Shares, as applicable, and was converted into an award of restricted stock units covering shares of Company Class A Common Stock (each unit, a “Company RSU”) on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting provisions, and subject to the Retention Plan, and once vested, each award of Company RSUs will be settled only in shares of Company Class A Common Stock) as applied to such award of Assumed Exscientia RSUs immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock subject to each such award of Company RSUs was determined by multiplying: (x) the number of Exscientia ADSs or Exscientia Ordinary Shares, as applicable, underlying such award of Assumed Exscientia RSUs immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding such product down to the nearest whole share; and
    •each award of Exscientia RSUs that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and was not an Assumed Company RSU was canceled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (i) the product of (A) the number of Exscientia ADSs or Exscientia Ordinary Shares, as applicable, underlying the portion of such Exscientia RSU award that was vested immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Exchange Ratio, less (ii) a number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the applicable tax withholding amount and other authorized deductions arising from the treatment of the Exscientia RSUs pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, by (B) the Company Stock Price.



    For purposes of the treatment of Exscientia Share Options and awards of Exscientia RSUs described above, to the extent such an equity award was subject to performance-vesting conditions, such performance-vesting conditions were deemed achieved at the greater of (i) the target level of achievement of all relevant performance goals in accordance with the applicable award agreement relating thereto or (ii) the actual level of achievement of all relevant performance goals against target as of Exscientia’s fiscal quarter-end immediately preceding the closing of the Transaction, and only that portion of such equity award became a Company Option, an award of Company RSUs, or the right to receive shares of Company Class A Common Stock, as applicable. The remaining portion of such equity award, if any, was immediately forfeited (solely with respect to the unvested portion).
    The foregoing description of the Transaction Agreement contained in this Item 2.01 does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Transaction Agreement, including the First Amendment. A copy of the initial Transaction Agreement was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 8, 2024 and a copy of the First Amendment was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on November 6, 2024, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

    Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
    Director Appointment
    Under the Transaction Agreement, Exscientia had the right to designate one member of the board of directors of Exscientia, subject to approval of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company in compliance with fiduciary duties under applicable law, to serve as a member of the Board following the completion of the Transaction.
    Effective as of the Effective Time, in connection with Exscientia’s right to designate one member of the board of directors of Exscientia to serve as a member of the Board under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, the Board increased the number of members of the Board from 7 to 8 and appointed Franziska Michor, Ph.D., (“Dr. Michor”) as a Class II Director of the Board, with her initial term to extend until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Dr. Michor has not yet been appointed to any committee of the Board.
    As a non-employee director, Dr. Michor will receive cash and equity compensation paid by the Company pursuant to its Outside Director Compensation Policy, which is described under the caption “Director Compensation” in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 23, 2024, as adjusted by the Board from time to time, and Dr. Michor will enter into an indemnification agreement with the Company on the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement for officers and directors.
    There are no transactions in which Dr. Michor has a direct or indirect material interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
