	Re:	 Director Appointment 



Ms. Uma Sinha: 
 This letter (this
“Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in connection with your appointment to the board of directors of Social Capital Suvretta Holdings Corp. III, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the
“Company”). Reference is made to the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) of 25,000,000 of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the
“Ordinary Shares”). The Ordinary Shares were sold in the Public Offering pursuant to registration statements on Form S-1 (File Nos. 333-256725
and 333-257545) and a prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Certain capitalized
terms used herein are defined in paragraph 11 hereof. 
 For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned (the “Insider”), hereby agrees with the Company as follows: 
 1. The
Insider agrees with the Company that if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed initial Business Combination, the Insider shall (a) vote any Shares owned by the
Insider in favor of such proposed initial Business Combination (including any proposals recommended by the Company’s board of directors in connection with such proposed initial Business Combination) and (b) not redeem any Shares owned by
the Insider in connection with such shareholder approval. 
 2. The Insider hereby agrees with the Company that in the event that the
Company fails to consummate its initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, or such later period approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated
memorandum and articles of association, as they may be amended from time to time, the Insider shall take all reasonable steps to cause the Company to (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (b) as promptly as
reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Ordinary Shares sold in the Public Offering (the “Public Shares”), at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate
amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which
redemption will completely extinguish all Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject
to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and
the other requirements of applicable law. The Insider agrees not to propose any amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation
to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering,
or (ii) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides its Public Shareholders with the
opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes
payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares. 
 The Insider acknowledges that the Insider has no right,
title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or any other asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Company with respect to any Founder Shares or Private Placement Shares held by the Insider (if
any). The Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any Shares held by the Insider, if any, any redemption rights the Insider may have in 











 
connection with (x) the consummation of an initial Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a shareholder vote to approve such initial
Business Combination or in the context of a tender offer made by the Company to purchase Ordinary Shares and (y) a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (i) to modify the
substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination
within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, or (ii) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity (although
the Insider shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any Public Shares the Insider holds if the Company fails to consummate its initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering).

 3. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b) below, during the period commencing on
June 29, 2021 and ending 180 days after such date, the Insider shall not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters (as defined below), offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction
that is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise)), directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put
equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 (“Section 16”) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules
and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to, any Shares or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Shares, or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction. The restrictions
of this paragraph 3 will not apply if the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Letter Agreement to the extent
and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

7(b), and 9 of this Letter Agreement; (b) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach; and (c) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, in

150 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination or (y) the date following the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or
other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Shares
Lock-up Period”). 
 (b) The Insider agrees that the Insider shall not Transfer any
Private Placement Shares until 30 days after the completion of an initial Business Combination (the “Private Placement Shares Lock-up Period”, together with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period, the “Lock-up Periods”).

agreement; and (viii) in the event of the Company’s completion of a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their
Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination; provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (i) through (v), these permitted transferees
must enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions in this Letter Agreement.
