Item 4.

Ownership:

This Statement on Schedule 13G relates to shares of Common Stock held directly by VGOP and VGOD and shares of Common Stock that the Reporting Persons have the right to acquire upon conversion of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock (“Series B-2 Preferred Stock”) held directly by VGOP and VGOD. VGOP owns 8,164,670 shares of Common Stock and 85,612 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, and VGOD owns 4,021,404 shares of Common Stock and 42,167 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock. The Series B-2 Preferred Stock has an initial conversion rate of 294.1176 shares of Common Stock per share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock. However, the Certificate of Designation for the Series B-2 Preferred Stock provides that none of VGOP, VGOD, nor their affiliates shall be entitled to convert shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock unless such conversion would not result in VGOP and VGOD, together with their affiliates, beneficially owning more than 9.5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Blocker”). Accordingly, the amount of shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons set forth herein excludes shares of Common Stock that the Reporting Persons do not currently have the right to acquire upon conversion of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock held directly by VGOP and VGOD due to the Blocker (and applies the Blocker pro rata across VGOP and VGOD). Without giving effect to the 9.5% Blocker, the Series B-2 Preferred Stock held by VGOP would be convertible into 25,179,995 shares of Common Stock and the Series B-2 Preferred Stock held by VGOD would be convertible into 12,402,056 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate of 37,582,051 shares of Common Stock.

The percentages set forth herein are calculated based on the sum of: (i) 80,030,193 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 29, 2023, as reported in the Issuer’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on January 5, 2024; (ii) 209,433,837 shares of Common Stock expected to be issued upon the Closing, based on an exchange ratio of 1.11-to-1 as applied to the 188,679,133 shares of common stock of SomaLogic, par value $0.0001 per share, outstanding as of November 29, 2023, as reported in SomaLogic’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Commission on December 1, 2023; and (iii) 16,920,291 shares of Common Stock that the Reporting Persons currently have the right to acquire upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, subject to the Blocker.
