Re:           Initial Public Offering 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 This letter (this
“Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into or proposed to be entered into by and between Social Capital
Suvretta Holdings Corp. III, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as the representative of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”),
relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public Offering”), of 25,300,000 of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”)
(including up to 3,300,000 Ordinary Shares that may be purchased to cover over-allotments, if any). The Ordinary Shares shall be sold in the Public Offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1
(File No. 333-256725) 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. 
 In order to induce the Company and the Underwriters to enter
into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, SCS Sponsor III LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the
“Sponsor”), and the other undersigned persons (each, an “Insider” and collectively, the “Insiders”), each hereby agrees with the Company as follows: 

1. The Sponsor and each 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, it, he or she shall (a) vote any Shares owned by it, him or her 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 it, him or her in connection with such shareholder approval. 

2. The Sponsor and each 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 Sponsor and each 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 Sponsor and each 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 Sponsor and each Insider acknowledges that it, he or she 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 the Founder Shares or Private Placement Shares held by it. The Sponsor and each
Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any Shares held by it, him or her, if any, any redemption rights it, he or she 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 Sponsor and the Insiders shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any Public Shares it or they hold 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 the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the Sponsor and each Insider shall
not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, 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; provided, however, that the foregoing does not apply to the forfeiture of any Founder Shares
pursuant to their terms or any transfer of Founder Shares to any current or future independent director of the company (as long as such current or future independent director transferee is subject to this Letter Agreement or executes an agreement
substantially identical to the terms of this Letter Agreement, as applicable to directors and officers at the time of such transfer; and as long as, to the extent any Section 16 reporting obligation is triggered as a result of such transfer,
any related Section 16 filing includes a practical explanation as to the nature of the transfer). 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. 

4. In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Sponsor (which for purposes of clarification shall not extend to any other
shareholders, members or managers of the Sponsor) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (a) any third party for services
rendered (other than the Company’s independent registered public accountants) or products sold to the Company or (b) a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement (a
“Target”), except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; provided, however, that such indemnification of the Company by the Sponsor shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims by
a third party for services rendered (other than the Company’s independent registered public accountants) or products sold to the Company or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per Public Share or
(ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case, net of the amount of interest earned on the property in
the Trust Account which may be withdrawn to pay taxes. In the event that any such executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against such third party, the Sponsor shall not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party
claims. The Sponsor shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Sponsor, the Sponsor notifies the
Company in writing that it shall undertake such defense. 












 5. To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise in full their over-allotment option
to purchase up to an additional 3,300,000 Ordinary Shares within 45 days from the date of the Prospectus (and as further described in the Prospectus), the Sponsor agrees that it shall forfeit, at no cost, a number of Founder Shares in the aggregate
equal to 825,000 multiplied by a fraction, (a) the numerator of which is 3,300,000 minus the number of Ordinary Shares purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option, and (b) the denominator of which is
3,300,000. All references in this Letter Agreement to Founder Shares of the Company being forfeited shall take effect as surrenders for no consideration of such Founder Shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law. The Initial Shareholders further agree
that to the extent that the size of the Public Offering is increased or decreased, the Company will effect a capitalization or share repurchase or redemption, as applicable, immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Offering in such amount
as to maintain the number of Founder Shares at 25.0% of the number of Ordinary Shares issued in the Public Offering. In connection with such increase or decrease in the size of the Public Offering, then (i) the references to 3,300,000 in the
numerator and denominator of the formula in the first sentence of this paragraph 5 shall be changed to a number equal to 15% of the number of Ordinary Shares issued in the Public Offering and (ii) the reference to 825,000 in the formula set
forth in the first sentence of this paragraph 5 shall be adjusted to such number of Founder Shares that the Sponsor would have to return to the Company in order for the number of Founder Shares to equal 25.0% of the number of Ordinary Shares
issued in the Public Offering (assuming no exercise of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase additional Ordinary Shares in the Public Offering). 

6. The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (a) the Underwriters and the Company would be irreparably injured in
the event of a breach by the Sponsor or such Insider of its, his or her obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7(a), 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 addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in
the event of such breach. 
 7. (a) The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer (as defined below) any Founder
Shares (or Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earlier of (i) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the
last reported sale price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for
any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 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 Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she 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”). 
 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in
paragraphs 7(a) and (b), transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon the conversion of the Founder Shares are permitted: (i) to the Company’s directors or officers,
any affiliates or family members of the Company’s directors or officers, the Sponsor, any members of the Sponsor or any affiliates of the Sponsor; (ii) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate
family, or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such person, or to a charitable organization; (iii) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and
distribution upon death of the individual; (iv) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (v) by private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination at prices
no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased; (vi) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the Company’s completion of an initial Business Combination; (vii) in the case of an entity, by
virtue of the laws of its jurisdiction or its organizational documents or operating 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. 
 8. The
Sponsor and each Insider represents and warrants that it, he or she has never been suspended or expelled from membership in any securities or commodities exchange or association or had a securities or commodities license or registration denied,
suspended or revoked. Each Insider’s biographical information furnished to the Company, if any (including any such information included in the Prospectus), is true and accurate in all respects and does not omit any material information with
respect to such Insider’s background. Each Insider’s questionnaire furnished to the Company, if any, is true and accurate in all respects. Each Insider represents and warrants that: (a) it is not subject to, or a respondent in any
legal action for, any injunction, cease-and-desist order or order or stipulation to desist or refrain from any act or practice relating to the offering of securities in
any jurisdiction; and (b) it has never been convicted of, or pleaded guilty to, any crime (i) involving fraud, (ii) relating to any financial transaction or handling of funds of another person or (iii) pertaining to any dealings
in any securities and it is not currently a defendant in any such criminal proceeding. 
 9. Except as disclosed in, or as expressly
contemplated by, the Prospectus, neither the Sponsor nor any Insider nor any affiliate of the Sponsor or any Insider, nor any director or officer of the Company, shall receive from the Company any finder’s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee,
monies in respect of any repayment of a loan or other compensation prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination (regardless of the type of
transaction that it is). 
 10. The Sponsor and each Insider has full right and power, without violating any agreement to which it is bound
(including, without limitation, any non-competition or non-solicitation agreement with any employer or former employer), to enter into this Letter Agreement and, as
applicable, to serve as a director on the board of directors of the Company and hereby consents to being named in the Prospectus as a director of the Company. 

11. As used herein, (a) “Business Combination” shall mean a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase,
reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses; (b) “Shares” shall mean, collectively, the Ordinary Shares, the Founder Shares and the Private Placement Shares; (c)
“Founder Shares” shall mean the 6,325,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Offering; (d) “Initial
Shareholders” shall mean the Sponsor and any other person that holds Founder Shares; (e) “Private Placement Shares” shall mean the Ordinary Shares that will be acquired by the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase
price of $6,400,000, or $10.00 per Ordinary Share, in a private placement to occur concurrently with the consummation of the Public Offering; (f) “Public Shareholders” shall mean the holders of Public Shares; (g)
“Trust Account” shall mean the trust fund into which a portion of the net proceeds of the Public Offering shall be deposited; and (h) “Transfer” shall mean the (i) sale of, offer to sell, contract

decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16, (ii) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether
any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii). 

12. This Letter Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby. This Letter Agreement may
not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by (a) each Insider that is the subject of any such change, amendment,
modification or waiver and (b) the Sponsor. 












 13. No party hereto may assign either this Letter Agreement or any of its rights, interests,
or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company and the Sponsor. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph 13 shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or
title to the purported assignee. This Letter Agreement shall be binding on the Sponsor and each Insider and their respective successors, heirs and assigns and permitted transferees. 

14. This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Each of the

submits to such jurisdiction and venue, which jurisdiction and venue shall be exclusive, and (b) waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. 

15. This Letter Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of this Letter Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this
Letter Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable. 

16. Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Letter Agreement shall be in writing

notice obligations. 
 18. This Letter Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the expiration of the Lock-up Periods and (b) the liquidation of the Company; provided, however, that this Letter Agreement shall earlier terminate in the event that the Public Offering is not consummated and closed by
December 31, 2021; provided, further, that paragraph 4 of this Letter Agreement shall survive such liquidation.
