If the nominating and corporate governance committee determines that an additional or replacement director is required, the nominating and corporate governance committee may take such measures that it considers appropriate in connection with its evaluation of a director candidate, including candidate interviews, inquiry of the person or persons making the recommendation or nomination, engagement of an outside search firm to gather additional information or reliance on the knowledge of the members of the nominating and corporate governance committee, our board of directors or management.

Stockholder Recommendations for Nominations to the Board of Directors

A stockholder that wants to recommend a candidate for election to the board of directors should direct the recommendation in writing by letter to 10x Genomics, Inc., attention of the Secretary, at 6230 Stoneridge Mall Road, Pleasanton, California 94588. The recommendation should include the candidate’s name, home and business contact information, detailed biographical data, relevant qualifications, a signed letter from the candidate confirming willingness to serve, information regarding any relationships between the candidate and 10x Genomics, Inc. and evidence of the recommending stockholder’s ownership of our stock. Such recommendations must also include a statement from the recommending stockholder in support of the candidate, particularly within the context of the criteria for board membership, as well as personal references.

A stockholder that instead desires to nominate a person directly for election to the board of directors at an annual meeting of the stockholders must meet the deadlines and other requirements set forth in Section 2.03 of our amended and restated bylaws and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Section 2.03 of our amended and restated bylaws requires that a stockholder who seeks to nominate a candidate for director must provide a written notice to the Secretary of the company not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day and not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than thirty (30) days, or delayed by more than seventy (70) days, from the anniversary date of the previous year’s meeting, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier
