    As described below under Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, on June 10, 2021, VG Acquisition Corp. (“VGAC”) convened its extraordinary general meeting (the “Special Meeting”) to approve, among other things, the previously announced business combination with 23andMe, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“23andMe”).

    At the Special Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved, among other items, the 23andMe Holding Co. 2021 Incentive Equity Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) and the 23andMe Holding Co. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Stock Plan”). A description of the material terms of each of the Incentive Plan and Stock Plan is included in the Company’s definitive proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus filed by VGAC with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 17, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement”), which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference. Such descriptions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Incentive Plan and Stock Plan, which are attached as Annex K and Annex L, respectively, to the Proxy Statement and are also incorporated herein by reference.

     

    Item 5.07.

    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

    The Special Meeting was held on June 10, 2021 to consider and vote upon certain proposals related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 4, 2021, as amended on February 13, 2021 and March 25, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among VGAC, Chrome Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of VGAC (“Merger Sub”) and 23andMe, pursuant to which, among other things, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, following the deregistration of VGAC as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and the continuation and domestication of VGAC as a corporation in the State of Delaware with the name “23andMe Holding Co.”, Chrome Merger Sub, Inc. will merge with and into 23andMe, with 23andMe as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, 23andMe will be a wholly owned subsidiary of VGAC.

    There were 50,855,000 Class A ordinary shares and 12,713,750 Class B ordinary shares of VGAC outstanding as of May 5, 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, the holders of 22,064,596 Class A ordinary shares and 12,713,750 Class B ordinary shares were represented in person or by proxy, representing approximately 54.71% of the total ordinary shares of VGAC, which constituted a quorum.

The implied equity value of $3.6 billion includes the value of the options exercisable for shares of New 23andMe Class A Common Stock that are issued in respect of vested options to purchase 23andMe Class A Common Stock and 23andMe Class B Common Stock but excludes the value of the options exercisable for shares of New 23andMe Class A Common Stock that are issued in respect of unvested options to purchase 23andMe Class A Common Stock and 23andMe Class B Common Stock.
