#### OF COMMON STOCK OF PERCEPTIVE CAPITAL SOLUTIONS CORP

#### (AFTER ITS DOMESTICATION AS A CORPORATION INCORPORATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE,

#### WHICH WILL BE RENAMED FREENOME, INC. IN CONNECTION WITH THE

#### DOMESTICATION DESCRIBED HEREIN)
On December 4, 2025, the board of directors (the "***PCSC Board***") of Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("***PCSC***," "***we***," "***us***" or "***our***"), based on the unanimous recommendation of the special committee of the PCSC Board, unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement, dated December 5, 2025 (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the "***Business Combination Agreement***"), by and among PCSC, StarNet Merger Sub I, Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of PCSC ("***Merger Sub I***"), StarNet Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of PCSC ("***Merger Sub II***") and Freenome Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("***Freenome***"), pursuant to which the following will occur: (a) at least one business day prior to the Closing Date (as defined below), PCSC will de-register from the Register of Companies in the Cayman Islands and transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and Part 12 of the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the "***Domestication***"), upon which PCSC will change its name to "Freenome, Inc." ("***New Freenome***"); (b) Merger Sub I will merge with and into Freenome, with Freenome as the surviving company in the merger (the "***First Merger***") and, after giving effect to the First Merger (such time being the "***Effective Time***"), Freenome will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCSC, (c) as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, but no later than one business day following the Effective Time, Freenome, as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the "***Second Merger***" and together with the First Merger, the "***Mergers***"), with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving company in the Second Merger, and (d) the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and documents related thereto (such transactions, together with the Domestication and the Mergers, the "***Business Combination***"), all as described in more detail in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. The consummation of the Business Combination is referred to as the "***Closing***" and the date of the Closing, the "***Closing Date***." References herein to New Freenome denote PCSC following the Business Combination. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as **Annex A**.

The Domestication is intended to occur at least one business day prior to the Closing Date. In connection with the Domestication, (1)(a) immediately prior to the Domestication, holders of each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of PCSC, par value $0.0001 per share (the "***PCSC Class B Share***") will elect to convert their PCSC Class B Shares, into Class A ordinary shares of PCSC, par value $0.0001 per share (the "***PCSC Class A Shares***," and together with the PCSC Class B Shares, the "PCSC Shares''), (b) immediately prior to the Domestication, PCSC will effect the redemption of the PCSC Class A Shares (the "***public shares,***" the holders of public shares, the "***public shareholders***") initially issued in PCSC's initial public offering that are validly submitted for redemption and not withdrawn (the "***PCSC Shareholder Redemptions***"), and (c) after effecting the PCSC Shareholder Redemptions, upon the Domestication, each issued and outstanding PCSC Class A Share will convert automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Freenome (the "***New Freenome Common Stock***"), and (2) upon the Domestication, the governing documents of PCSC will become the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws as described in this proxy statement/prospectus and attached as **Annex H** and **Annex I**, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus (the "***Governing Documents***"), and PCSC's name will change to "Freenome, Inc."

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on December 5, 2025, PCSC entered into subscription agreements (the "***Subscription Agreements***") with certain qualified institutional buyers, institutional accredited investors, and other accredited investors, including, among others, Perceptive Life Sciences Master Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the "***Perceptive PIPE Investo***r") and an affiliate of Perceptive Capital Solutions Holding, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the "***Sponsor***"), as well as certain existing stockholders of Freenome (the "***PIPE Investors***"). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and PCSC agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, on the Closing Date immediately following the Closing, an aggregate of 24,000,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock (the "***PIPE Shares***") for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, and aggregate gross proceeds of $240.0 million (the "***PIPE Financing***"). The obligations of each party to consummate the PIPE Financing are conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the New Freenome Common Stock (including the New Freenome Common Stock issuable to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreements) having been approved for listing on Nasdaq; and (ii) satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the closing of the transactions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. The obligations of the PIPE Investors to consummate the PIPE Financing are further subject to additional conditions, including, among other things: (i) the Business Combination Agreement shall not have been amended, modified, or supplemented, and no condition waived thereunder, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the economic benefits that a PIPE Investor would reasonably expect to receive under the Subscription Agreement; (ii) the material truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of PCSC in the Subscription Agreement, subject to customary bringdown standards; (iii) no subscription agreement, or other agreements or understandings (including side letters) entered into in connection with the sale of New Freenome Common Stock under the Subscription Agreements, with any other PIPE Investors shall have been amended, modified, or waived in any manner that benefits such other PIPE Investor unless all PIPE Investors have been offered substantially the same benefits; and (iv) there has not occurred any material adverse effect or parent material adverse effect since the date of the Subscription Agreement that is continuing. **See** "***Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements—PIPE Financing*.***"***

Immediately following the Closing, assuming the redemption of 6,658,122 public shares at approximately $10.65 per share (estimated as of December 31, 2025), or approximately 77.9% of the public shares subject to redemption, which represents the estimated maximum number of public shares that can be redeemed while still satisfying the $250 million Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition (the "***Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition Redemptions Scenario***"), it is expected that (i) public shareholders will own approximately 1.94% of New Freenome Common Stock outstanding at that time, (ii) the Sponsor will own approximately 2.30% of New Freenome Common Stock outstanding at that time (which includes 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares and 286,250 private placement shares, which are PCSC Class A Shares), (iii) the Perceptive PIPE Investor will own approximately 10.48% of New Freenome Common Stock outstanding at that time (which includes 5,500,000 PIPE Shares, and 5,615,003 shares issued upon the conversion of Freenome capital stock), (iv) PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal) will own less than 1% of New Freenome Common Stock outstanding at that time, (v) existing Freenome stockholders (the "***Freenome Stockholders***") other than the Perceptive PIPE Investor and Roche will own approximately 49.72% of New Freenome Common Stock outstanding at that time, (vi) the PIPE Investors other than the Perceptive PIPE Investor will own approximately 16.43% of New Freenome Common Stock outstanding at that time and (vii) Roche will own approximately 18.11% of New Freenome Common Stock. **The public shareholders currently own approximately 77.9% of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, public shareholders, as a group, will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the Business Combination. As redemptions increase, the overall percentage ownership held by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal, Freenome Stockholders and the PIPE Investors will increase as compared to the overall percentage ownership and voting percentage held by public shareholders, thereby increasing dilution to public shareholders. For more information on the percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of New Freenome Common Stock immediately following the Closing that are expected to be held by securityholders, in various redemptions scenarios, see "*Dilution*."**

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, public shareholders who do not redeem their public shares will receive one share of New Freenome Common Stock for each PCSC Class A Share held by them immediately prior to the Domestication. While PCSC cannot be certain of the price such public shareholders paid for their public shares, assuming they purchased their public shares for $10.00 per share, which was the price of the PCSC Class A Shares sold in PCSC's initial public offering, the effective purchase price paid per share of New Freenome Common Stock issued to each public shareholder at Closing would be $10.00. In connection with PCSC's initial public offering, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the 2,156,250 PCSC Class B Shares, or approximately $0.01 per share. In connection with the Business Combination, assuming the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition Redemptions Scenario, an aggregate of 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares held by the Sponsor and an additional 90,000 PCSC Class B Shares held by PCSC's independent directors will be voluntarily converted on a one-for-one basis into PCSC Class A Shares immediately prior to the Domestication, which will then automatically convert at the effective time of the Domestication into an equal number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock, valued at $10.00 per share, which is the assumed per share price used in the Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. The Sponsor also purchased 286,250 PCSC Class A Shares at a price of $10.00 per share in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of PCSC's initial public offering. Such private placement shares will automatically convert at the effective time of the Domestication into an equal number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock valued at $10.00 per share, which is the assumed per share price used in the Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. The Perceptive PIPE Investor will receive 5,615,003 shares of New Freenome Common Stock in the Business Combination upon the exchange of Freenome capital stock held by the Perceptive PIPE Investor pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, and the Freenome stockholders (excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor) will receive an estimated 65,516,765 shares of New Freenome Common Stock in the Business Combination, each of which is equal to $655.2 million divided by $10.00 per share, which is the assumed per share price used in the Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. The PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, will purchase 24,000,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock, which is equal to $240.0 million divided by $10.00. As a result of the low price the Sponsor paid for the PCSC Class B Shares, the Sponsor may realize a positive rate of return on its investment even if the market price per share of New Freenome Common Stock is below $10.00 per share after Closing, in which case the public shareholders may experience a negative rate of return on their investment. **See "*Questions and Answers for Shareholders of PCSC—What is the effective purchase price attributed to the New Freenome Common Stock to be received by the public shareholders, the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal), and the Freenome Stockholders at Closing?*"**

In connection with the Closing, the Sponsor and certain existing Freenome stockholders will enter into a lock-up agreement (the "***Lock-Up Agreement***") with PCSC. Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, the Sponsor and certain existing Freenome stockholders will agree not to transfer (except for certain permitted transfers) any shares of New Freenome Common Stock held by such holder after the Domestication until six (6) months after the Closing Date.

Additionally, in connection with the Closing, PCSC, Sponsor, and certain Freenome stockholders will enter into that certain investor rights agreement (the "***Investor Rights Agreement***"). Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, among other things, PCSC will agree that, within 30 calendar days following the Closing Date, New Freenome will file with the SEC (at New Freenome's sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of certain shares of New Freenome Common Stock held by or issuable to the parties thereto (the "***Resale Registration Statement***"), and New Freenome will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. Such holders will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights and demand registration rights, including underwritten demands. The Investor Rights Agreement amends and restates the registration rights agreement that was entered into by PCSC and the initial shareholders in connection with PCSC's initial public offering.

**Compensation to be Received by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and PCSC's Officers and Directors in Connection with the Business Combination and PIPE Financing: Assuming the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition Redemptions Scenario, the Sponsor will receive (i) 2,066,250 shares of New Freenome Common Stock upon the exchange of 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares, which were initially purchased in connection with PCSC's initial public offering for approximately $0.01 per share and (ii) 286,250 shares of New Freenome Common Stock upon the exchange of 286,250 PCSC Class A Shares, which were initially purchased in a private placement that closed concurrently with PCSC's initial public offering for $10.00 per share. The Perceptive PIPE Investor will receive (i) 5,500,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock, which is equal to the Perceptive PIPE Investor's $55.0 million PIPE Financing commitment divided by $10.00, the price per share of the PIPE Financing, and (ii) an estimated 5,615,003 shares of New Freenome Common Stock upon the exchange of Freenome capital stock, each of which is equal to $56.2 million divided by $10.00 per share, which is the assumed per share price used in the Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal) will each receive 30,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock upon the exchange of 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares held by them. The securities to be issued to the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and PCSC's officers and directors may result in a material dilution of the equity interests of non-redeeming public shareholders. See "*Dilution*," *and* "*Information About PCSC—Executive Compensation and Director Compensation.*"** 

The Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and PCSC's officers and directors will also be reimbursed for loans, advances, and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them related to identifying, negotiating, investigating and completing the Business Combination. No such loans, advances, or out-of-pocket expenses are outstanding as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, PCSC has agreed to pay the Sponsor $15,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services and the Sponsor and PCSC's officers and directors will be entitled to continued indemnification and the continuation of directors' and officer's liability insurance after the Business Combination.

PCSC's independent directors are not members of the Sponsor and are not affiliates of the Perceptive PIPE Investor. None of the funds in the trust account will be used to compensate PCSC's officers or directors. Except for administrative services fees and office rental fees paid or to be paid to the Sponsor, no compensation of any kind, including finder's and consulting fees, have been paid or will be paid to the Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities performed on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations, as discussed above. The reimbursement of expenses and advances to the Sponsor, and PCSC's officers and directors may result in a material dilution of the equity interests of non-redeeming public shareholders. **See "*Dilution*," and "*Information About PCSC—Executive Compensation and Director Compensation*."**

**Potential conflicts of interest in connection with the Business Combination: There may be actual or potential material conflicts of interest between or among (i) the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, PCSC officers and directors, Freenome officers and directors and (ii) unaffiliated security holders of PCSC. Such conflicts of interest may include a material conflict of interest arising in determining whether to proceed with the Business Combination, the shares of New Freenome Common Stock to be issued to the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and PCSC's officers and directors in connection with the Business Combination, and the reimbursement of loans and advances.** 

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of PCSC's officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan PCSC funds as may be required ("***Working Capital Loans***"). If PCSC completes the Business Combination, PCSC may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the trust account released to PCSC. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the trust account. In the event that the Business Combination does not close, PCSC may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the trust account or funds from permitted withdrawals to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the trust account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender's discretion, up to $3.0 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into shares of New Freenome Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share. To date, PCSC has no outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

The approval of each of the Domestication Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal requires a special resolution of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Class B Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. The approval of each

------

of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

Please note that as further described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor and each of PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal) has agreed to (a) vote any of their PCSC Shares in favor of the Business Combination and (b) waive their redemption rights with respect to any PCSC Shares they own in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the initial shareholders collectively own 2,442,500 PCSC Shares, or approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares as follows: (i) the Sponsor owns 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares and 286,250 private placement shares, which are PCSC Class A Shares; and (ii) the PCSC independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal) each own 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares, for an aggregate of 90,000 PCSC Class B Shares. Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, PCSC, the initial shareholders, and Freenome further entered into the Sponsor Letter Agreement (the "***Sponsor Letter Agreement***"), pursuant to which the Sponsor and each of PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal) has agreed to, among other things, (i) vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the governing documents of PCSC or any other anti-dilution or similar protection with respect to the PCSC Class B Shares, (iii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination, (iv) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to his, her or its PCSC Shares prior to the Closing, and (v) be subject to the restrictions contemplated by the Lock-up Agreements in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Letter Agreement. No consideration has been or will be paid to PCSC, Freenome, Sponsor or each of PCSC's independent directors in connection with the entry into the Sponsor Letter Agreement. We will need at least 1,246,667 PCSC Shares, in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders, to constitute a quorum. Accordingly, we will need 5,533,751 PCSC Shares, or 3,091,251 public shares in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders, to vote in favor of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal to approve it if all PCSC Shares are present and cast votes. If only the minimum quorum is present, no public shares will be required to vote in favor of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal to approve it.

Additionally, promptly after the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, certain of Freenome stockholders (collectively, the "***Freenome Supporting Stockholders***") entered into a transaction support agreement with PCSC, pursuant to which the Freenome Supporting Stockholders have agreed to, among other things, (a) at any meeting of the stockholders of Freenome, and in any action by written resolution of the stockholders of Freenome, to vote (i) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and (ii) against and withhold consent to any Company Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) or other matter, action or proposal intended or that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any of Freenome's covenants or obligations under the Business Combination Agreement, result in any breach to the Closing conditions thereunder or frustrate the purposes of and otherwise impede or prevent the consummation of the Mergers, or other transactions contemplated pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (b) shall not, directly or indirectly, initiate, encourage or otherwise facilitate a Company Acquisition Proposal and (c) refrain from transferring any covered securities.

This prospectus covers 83,067,500 shares of New Freenome Common Stock. The number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock that this prospectus covers represents the maximum number of shares that may be issued to holders of shares of Freenome in connection with the Business Combination (as more fully described in this proxy statement/prospectus), together with the shares issued or issuable to the existing shareholders of PCSC in connection with the Business Combination.

PCSC Class A Shares are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("***Nasdaq***") under the symbol "PCSC." PCSC will apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the Business Combination, of the New Freenome Common Stock on Nasdaq under the proposed symbol "FRNM." It is a condition of the consummation of the Business Combination and a condition to the obligations of the parties to the Subscription Agreements to consummate the PIPE Financing, that PCSC receive confirmation from Nasdaq that the New Freenome Common Stock has been conditionally approved for listing on Nasdaq, but there can be no assurance that such listing condition will be met or that PCSC will obtain such confirmation from Nasdaq. If such listing condition is not met or if such confirmation is not obtained, the Business Combination and the PIPE Financing will not be consummated unless the Nasdaq condition set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and the Subscription Agreements is waived by the applicable parties. The Nasdaq listing condition may be waived by Freenome and PCSC, with respect to the Business Combination, and by the PIPE Investors, with respect to the PIPE Financing, at any time prior to the Closing, including after the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting. If Freenome and PCSC, on the one hand, and/or the PIPE Investors, on the other hand, waive such condition, PCSC intends to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of such event, however you should know that given such timing you may not be notified before the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting. **It is important for you to consider that, at the time of the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting, New Freenome may not have received from Nasdaq either confirmation of the listing of the New Freenome Common Stock or confirmation that approval will be obtained prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and you will not be notified prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting if New Freenome has not yet received such approval or confirmation. As a result, you may be asked to vote to approve the Business Combination and the other proposals included in this proxy statement/prospectus without knowing whether the New Freenome Common Stock will be listed on Nasdaq or another securities exchange and, further, it is possible that such listing may never be achieved and the Business Combination could still be consummated if such Nasdaq listing condition is waived.**

PCSC is, and New Freenome will be, an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements. Investing in New Freenome's Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. See "*Risk Factors*" beginning on page [25](#tRF) of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in New Freenome's Common Stock.

**The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus provides shareholders of PCSC with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the extraordinary general meeting of PCSC. We encourage you to read the entire accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and other documents referred to therein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in "*Risk Factors*" beginning on page [25](#tRF) of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.**

Dear Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp Shareholders:

You are cordially invited to attend the extraordinary general meeting (the "***extraordinary general meeting***") of Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("***PCSC***"), at [•] a.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2026, at the offices of Cooley LLP located at 55 Hudson Yards, New York, New York 10001, and via a virtual meeting, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned.

The extraordinary general meeting will be conducted via live webcast, but the physical location of the extraordinary general meeting will remain at the location specified above for the purposes of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. If you wish to attend the extraordinary general meeting in person, you must reserve your attendance at least two business days in advance of the extraordinary general meeting by contacting PCSC's secretary at [•] by 10:30 a.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2026. You will be able to attend the extraordinary general meeting online, vote and submit your questions during the extraordinary general meeting by visiting [•].

At the extraordinary general meeting, PCSC shareholders will, among others, be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal, which is referred to herein as the "Business Combination Proposal" to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement, dated December 5, 2025 (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Business Combination Agreement"), by and among PCSC, StarNet Merger Sub I, Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of PCSC ("***Merger Sub I***"), StarNet Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of PCSC ("***Merger Sub II***") and Freenome Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("***Freenome***"). Based on the unanimous recommendation of the special committee of the board of directors of PCSC (the "***PCSC Board***"), the PCSC Board approved the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Based on the unanimous recommendation of the strategic transaction committee of the board of directors of Freenome, the board of directors of Freenome (the "***Freenome Board***") approved the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Business Combination Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement would waive any such provision of the Business Combination Agreement if the closing conditions are not met.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement: (a) at least one business day prior to the Closing Date (as defined below), PCSC will de-register from the Register of Companies in the Cayman Islands and transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and Part 12 of the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the "***Domestication***"), upon which PCSC will change its name to "Freenome, Inc." ("***New Freenome***"); (b) Merger Sub I will merge with and into Freenome, with Freenome as the surviving company in the merger (the "***First Merger***") and, after giving effect to the First Merger (such time being the "***Effective Time***"), Freenome will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCSC, (c) as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, but no later than one business day following the Effective Time, Freenome, as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the "***Second Merger***" and together with the First Merger, the "***Mergers***"), with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving company in the Second Merger, and (d) the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and documents related thereto (such transactions, together with the Domestication and the Mergers, the "***Business Combination***"), all as described in more detail in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. The consummation of the Business Combination is referred to as the "***Closing***" and the date of the Closing, the "***Closing Date***." References herein to New Freenome denote PCSC following the Business Combination.

As further described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Domestication is intended to occur at least one business day prior to the Closing Date. In connection with the Domestication, (1)(a) immediately prior to the Domestication, the holders of each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of PCSC, par value $0.0001 per share (the "  ***PCSC Class B Share***") will elect to convert their PCSC Class B Shares into Class A ordinary shares of PCSC, par value $0.0001 per share (the "  ***PCSC Class A Shares*** "), (b) immediately prior to the Domestication, PCSC will effect the redemption of the PCSC Class A Shares (the "  ***public shares,***" the holders of public shares, the "  ***public shareholders*** ")

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
initially issued in PCSC's initial public offering that are validly submitted for redemption and not withdrawn (the "***PCSC Shareholder Redemptions***"), and (c) after effecting the PCSC Shareholder Redemptions, upon the Domestication, each issued and outstanding PCSC Class A Share will convert automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Freenome (the "***New Freenome Common Stock***"), and (2) upon the Domestication, the governing documents of PCSC will become the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws as described in this proxy statement/prospectus and attached as **Annex H** and **Annex I**, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus (the "***Governing Documents***"), and PCSC's name will change to "Freenome, Inc."; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at the Effective Time, (i) the Freenome Common Shares issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including such shares issued upon the conversion of all shares of Freenome preferred stock into Freenome Common Shares prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, but excluding Freenome Common Shares held in treasury or by Freenome stockholders who have properly demanded appraisal of such Freenome Common Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL) will be automatically canceled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock equal to an exchange ratio, which is based on an implied Freenome base equity value of $725,000,000 and subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement (the "  ***Exchange Ratio*** "); (ii) each option to purchase Freenome Common Shares (each, a "  ***Freenome Option*** "), whether vested or unvested, will cease to represent the right to purchase Freenome Common Shares and will be canceled in exchange for an option to purchase New Freenome Common Stock (each, a "  ***Rollover Option***") under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan, in an amount equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of Freenome Common Shares subject to such Freenome Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient of (i) the exercise price per share of such Freenome Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, and generally subject to the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, expiration and forfeiture provisions) that applied to the corresponding Freenome Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (iii) each restricted stock unit award that is outstanding with respect to Freenome Common Shares (each, a "  ***Freenome RSU Award*** "), whether vested or unvested, will cease to have any rights in respect of the Freenome Common Shares and will be canceled in exchange for a restricted stock unit award under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan (each, a "  ***Rollover RSU Award***") that settles in a number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) in an amount and subject to such terms and conditions, in each case, as to be set forth on an allocation schedule, that will generally be subject to the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, expiration and forfeiture provisions) that applied to the corresponding Freenome RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time. As of March 15, 2026, and assuming an Exchange Ratio of 0.2955, there were (i) 26,646,057 Freenome Common Shares and 213,907,881 shares of Freenome preferred stock outstanding, that would collectively convert into 71,089,352 shares of New Freenome Common Stock, (ii) 29,512,900 Freenome Options outstanding that would convert into 8,252,587 Rollover Options and (iii) 14,522,802 Freenome RSU Awards that would convert into 4,291,830 Rollover RSU Awards.

Certain related agreements were entered into in connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, including the Subscription Agreements, the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreement and the Transaction Support Agreements (each as defined and further described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus). See the section entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements*" in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for more information.

Contemporaneously with any vote on a Business Combination, holders of public shares may elect to have their public shares redeemed for cash. Public shares that have been validly tendered or delivered for redemption, as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, will be redeemed prior to the Domestication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of public shares, together with any affiliate of his, her, its or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "***Exchange Act***")) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, any holders of public shares or "group" in excess of such 15% cap will not be redeemed by PCSC. Any outstanding PCSC Class B Shares or private placement shares of PCSC (which are PCSC Class A Shares) will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per share redemption price applicable to public shares that are redeemed.

You will also be asked to consider and vote upon:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a proposal to approve, by special resolution of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares, the Domestication;

Consummation of the Business Combination is not conditioned upon the approval of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals or the Adjournment Proposal. Neither the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals nor the Adjournment Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal. Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which each shareholder is encouraged to read carefully and in its entirety.

Only holders of record of the PCSC Shares at the close of business on [•], 2026 are entitled to notice of the extraordinary general meeting and to vote and have their votes counted at the extraordinary general meeting and any adjournments of the extraordinary general meeting.

being provided to PCSC's shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the extraordinary general meeting and at any adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting. Information about the extraordinary general meeting, the Business Combination and other related business to be considered by PCSC's shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting is included in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. **Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, all of PCSC's shareholders are urged to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to therein carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in "*Risk Factors*" beginning on page [25](#tRF) of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.**

An affiliate of PCSC and the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, was an existing investor in Freenome prior to and during the course of discussions between PCSC and Freenome with respect to the Business Combination. Dr. Ellen Hukkelhoven, an executive officer of the Perceptive PIPE Investor, is a director of Freenome. In light of potential conflicts of interest with respect to the Business Combination as a result of the Perceptive PIPE Investor's pre-existing ownership interest in Freenome and the fact that Perceptive PIPE Investor has a designee serving as a director of Freenome (such conflicts are described more fully in the section entitled "— *Interests of PCSC's Directors and Executive Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination*"), the PCSC Board formed the special committee (the "***Special Committee***"), comprised of three independent and disinterested members of the PCSC Board, Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song M.D., and Harlan W. Waksal, M.D. The PCSC Board delegated the Special Committee the power and authority to (i) consider, review and to evaluate the terms and conditions, and determine the advisability, of the Business Combination (and the proposed terms of any definitive agreement with respect to the Business Combination) and any alternatives thereto that the Special Committee deems appropriate, (ii) determine whether the Business Combination or any alternative thereto negotiated by the Special Committee is fair to, and in the best interests of, PCSC and the PCSC shareholders as a whole, and (iii) with respect to any actions required to be taken by the full PCSC Board with respect to the Business Combination or any alternative thereto, recommend to the PCSC Board what action, if any, should be taken by the PCSC Board. Special Committee was empowered to retain legal counsel to advise it and assist it in connection with fulfilling its duties as delegated by the PCSC Board; retain such other advisors, consultants and agents, including, without limitation, investment bankers, as the Special Committee may deem necessary or appropriate to perform such services and render such opinions as may be necessary or appropriate in order for the Special Committee to discharge its duties; and enter into such contracts providing for the retention, compensation, reimbursement of expenses and indemnification of such legal counsel, investment bankers, consultants and agents as the Special Committee may in its sole discretion deem necessary or appropriate. The Special Committee engaged separate U.S. counsel, Ropes & Gray, LLP ("***Ropes & Gray***"), and Cayman Islands counsel, Maples and Calder (Cayman) LLP ("***Maples***") to represent the Special Committee. The Special Committee also engaged Scalar, LLC ("***Scalar***") to provide an opinion to the Special Committee as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to PCSC and the PCSC Unaffiliated Shareholders (defined as the holders of PCSC Class A Shares other than (i) Freenome, (ii) the Sponsor, (iii) the Key Supporting Company Stockholders (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), (iv) holders of PCSC Class A Shares who elect to redeem their shares prior to or in connection with the Business Combination, and (v) the PIPE Investors) of the shares of New Freenome Common Stock to be paid by PCSC in the First Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

On December 4, 2025, the Special Committee received an opinion from Scalar as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to PCSC and the PCSC Unaffiliated Shareholders of the shares of New Freenome Common Stock to be paid by PCSC in the First Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as **Annex L**. **For more information, see "*Business Combination Proposal—Background and Material Terms of the Business Combination*," "*Business Combination Proposal—Interests of PCSC's Sponsor, Directors and Officers in the Business Combination*" and "*Business Combination Proposal—Opinion of Scalar, LLC*."**

**After careful consideration, the PCSC Board, based in part upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, has unanimously determined that the Business Combination is fair, advisable, and in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders as a whole, unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Mergers, and unanimously recommends that PCSC shareholders vote "FOR" the Business Combination Proposal, "FOR" the Domestication Proposal (in the case of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares), "FOR" the Governing Documents Proposal (in the case of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares), "FOR" the Advisory Governing Documents Proposal, "FOR" the Nasdaq Proposal, "FOR" the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, "FOR" the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and "FOR" the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the PCSC shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting. The Business Combination was not structured to require the approval of at least a majority of PCSC's** 

------

**unaffiliated shareholders because such a vote is not required under Cayman Islands law. When you consider the recommendation of these proposals by the PCSC Board, you should keep in mind that PCSC's directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Interests of PCSC's Directors and Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination*" in this proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.** 

Only holders of PCSC Class B Shares may vote on the Domestication Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal and our initial shareholders hold all issued and outstanding PCSC Class B Shares. The approval of each of the Domestication Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal requires a special resolution of holders of Class B Shares, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Class B Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

Please note that as further described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor and the officers and directors of PCSC have agreed to (a) vote any of their PCSC Shares in favor of the Business Combination and all other related proposals at the extraordinary general meeting and (b) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Shares they own in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the initial shareholders collectively own 2,442,500 PCSC Shares, or approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares as follows: (i) the Sponsor owns 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares and 286,250 private placement shares, which are PCSC Class A Shares; and (ii) the PCSC independent directors each own 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares, for an aggregate of 90,000 PCSC Class B Shares. We will need at least 1,246,667 PCSC Shares, in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders, to constitute a quorum. Accordingly, we will need 5,533,751 PCSC Shares, or 3,091,251 public shares in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders, to vote in favor of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal to approve it if all PCSC Shares are present and cast votes. If only the minimum quorum is present, no public shares will be required to vote in favor of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal to approve it.

To ensure your representation at the extraordinary general meeting, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the proxy card accompanying the proxy statement/prospectus as soon as possible. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote electronically, obtain a proxy from your broker or bank.

*Your vote is very important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting or not, please complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the envelope provided. Your proxy card must be received by PCSC not less than 48 hours before the scheduled time of the extraordinary general meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the person named in the proxy card proposes to vote. Proxy cards received after this time will not be counted. If your shares are held in "street name" or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.* 

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the extraordinary general meeting in person, the effect will be, among other things, that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the extraordinary general meeting. If you are a shareholder of record and you attend the extraordinary general meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST DEMAND IN WRITING THAT YOUR PUBLIC SHARES ARE REDEEMED FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE FUNDS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AND TENDER YOUR SHARES TO PCSC'S TRANSFER AGENT AT LEAST TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE INITIALLY SCHEDULED VOTE AT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING. IN ORDER TO

------

EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHT, YOU NEED TO IDENTIFY YOURSELF AS A BENEFICIAL HOLDER AND PROVIDE YOUR LEGAL NAME, PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS IN YOUR WRITTEN DEMAND. YOU MAY TENDER YOUR PUBLIC SHARES BY EITHER TENDERING OR DELIVERING YOUR PUBLIC SHARES (AND CERTIFICATES, IF ANY) AND OTHER REDEMPTION FORMS TO PCSC'S TRANSFER AGENT OR BY TENDERING OR DELIVERING YOUR PUBLIC SHARES (AND CERTIFICATES, IF ANY) AND OTHER REDEMPTION FORMS ELECTRONICALLY USING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY'S DWAC (DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN) SYSTEM. IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT COMPLETED, THEN THESE SHARES WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU OR YOUR ACCOUNT. IF YOU HOLD THE SHARES IN STREET NAME, YOU WILL NEED TO INSTRUCT THE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AT YOUR BANK OR BROKER TO WITHDRAW THE SHARES FROM YOUR ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

On behalf of the PCSC Board, I would like to thank you for your support and look forward to the successful completion of the Business Combination.

------

provided to PCSC shareholders, (B) in order to solicit additional proxies from PCSC shareholders in favor of one or more of the proposals at the extraordinary general meeting or (C) if PCSC shareholders redeem an amount of the public shares such that the condition to consummation of the Business Combination that the aggregate cash proceeds to be received by PCSC from the trust account in connection with the Business Combination, together with aggregate gross proceeds from the PIPE Financing, equal no less than $250,000,000 after deducting PCSC's unpaid expenses, liabilities, and any amounts paid to PCSC shareholders that exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination would not be satisfied, at the extraordinary general meeting be approved.

Each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Consummation of the Business Combination is not conditioned upon the approval of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals or the Adjournment Proposal. Neither the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals nor the Adjournment Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal.

These items of business are described in this proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read carefully and in its entirety before voting.

Only holders of record of PCSC Shares at the close of business on [•], 2026 are entitled to notice of the extraordinary general meeting and to vote and have their votes counted at the extraordinary general meeting and any adjournments of the extraordinary general meeting.

This accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card is being provided to PCSC's shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the extraordinary general meeting and at any adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting. **Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, all of PCSC's shareholders are urged to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to therein carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in "*Risk Factors***" **beginning on page [25](#tRF) of this proxy statement/prospectus.**

**After careful consideration, the PCSC Board, based in part upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, has unanimously determined that the Business Combination is fair, advisable, and in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders as a whole, unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Mergers, and unanimously recommends that PCSC shareholders vote "FOR" the Business Combination Proposal, "FOR" the Domestication Proposal (in the case of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares), "FOR" the Governing Documents Proposal (in the case of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares), "FOR" the Advisory Governing Documents Proposal, "FOR" the Nasdaq Proposal, "FOR" the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, "FOR" the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and "FOR" the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the PCSC shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting. The Business Combination was not structured to require the approval of at least a majority of PCSC's unaffiliated shareholders because such a vote is not required under Cayman Islands law. When you consider the recommendation of these proposals by the PCSC Board, you should keep in mind that PCSC's directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Interests of PCSC's Directors and Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination*" in this proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.** 

Pursuant to the Existing Governing Documents, a public holder of the PCSC Class A Shares sold in PCSC's initial public offering (whether they were purchased in PCSC's initial public offering or thereafter in the open market) (a "***public shareholder***," and such shares, the "***public shares***") may request to PCSC to redeem its public shares for cash contemporaneously with any vote on the Business Combination. If the Business Combination is approved, PCSC will pay to the holders of any public shares that have been validly tendered or delivered for redemption a pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account not previously released to PCSC for permitted withdrawals. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Domestication shall occur at least one business day prior to the Closing Date. As a holder of public shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) hold public shares; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2026 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the extraordinary general meeting), (a) submit a written request to the PCSC transfer agent in which you (i) request that PCSC redeems your public shares for cash, and (ii) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the public shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and (b) deliver your public shares to the PCSC transfer agent physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company.

The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to Continental, PCSC's transfer agent, in order to validly redeem its shares. Public shareholders may seek to have their public shares redeemed by PCSC, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal and whether they held PCSC Shares as of the record date or acquired them after the record date. Any public shareholder who holds PCSC Shares on or before [•], 2026 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the extraordinary general meeting) will have the right to demand that his, her or its public shares be redeemed for a pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account established at the consummation of PCSC's initial public offering (the "***trust account***"), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account not previously released to us for permitted withdrawals. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the trust account of approximately $91,918,776.09 on January 6, 2026, the estimated per share redemption price is expected to be approximately $10.66. A public shareholder who has properly tendered or delivered his, her or its public shares for redemption will be entitled to receive his, her or its pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account in cash for such shares only if the Business Combination is completed. If the Business Combination is not completed, the redemptions will be canceled and the tendered shares will be returned to the relevant public shareholders as appropriate. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own shares. See "*Extraordinary General Meeting of PCSC—Redemption Rights*" in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Public shareholders who seek to redeem their public shares must demand redemption no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2026 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the extraordinary general meeting) by (a) submitting a written request to the PCSC transfer agent that PCSC redeem such holder's public shares for cash, (b) affirmatively certifying in such request to the PCSC transfer agent for redemption if such holder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "***Exchange Act***")) with any other shareholder with respect to PCSC Shares and (c) tendering or delivering their PCSC Shares, either physically or electronically using DTC's deposit/withdrawal at custodian system ("***DWAC***"), at the holder's option, to the PCSC transfer agent prior to the extraordinary general meeting. If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered or delivered to the PCSC transfer agent (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The PCSC transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker a nominal fee and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, any shares held by a public shareholder or "group" in excess of such 15% cap will not be redeemed by PCSC.

Pursuant to that certain letter agreement, dated as of June 11, 2024, the Sponsor, officers and directors of PCSC have waived all of their redemption rights and will not have redemption rights with respect to any PCSC Shares owned by them, directly or indirectly. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the initial shareholders own approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares. Such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, PCSC, the initial shareholders and Freenome entered into the Sponsor Letter Agreement (the "***Sponsor Letter Agreement***"), pursuant to which the Sponsor and each of PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal), as a holder of PCSC Class B Shares, has agreed to, among other things, (i) vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Mergers), (ii) waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the governing documents of PCSC or any other anti-dilution or similar protection with respect to the PCSC Class B Shares

------

(whether resulting from the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements or otherwise), (iii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination, (iv) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to his, her or its shares in PCSC prior to the closing of the Business Combination, and (v) be subject to the restrictions contemplated by the Lock-up Agreements in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Letter Agreement. No consideration has been or will be paid to PCSC, Freenome, Sponsor or each of PCSC's independent directors in connection with the entry into the Sponsor Letter Agreement. See "*Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements—Investor Rights Agreement*" and "*Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements—Sponsor Letter Agreement*" in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for more information related to the Sponsor Letter Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement would waive any such provision of the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, in no event will PCSC redeem public shares in an amount that would cause New Freenome's net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the PIPE Financing.

The approval of each of the Domestication Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal requires a special resolution of holders of PCSC Class B Shares, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Class B Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

*Your vote is very important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, please complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the envelope provided. Your proxy card must be received by PCSC not less than 48 hours before the scheduled time of the extraordinary general meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the person named in the proxy card proposes to vote. Proxy cards received after this time will not be counted. If your shares are held in "street name" or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.* 

**A PCSC shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the extraordinary general meeting is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote instead of that shareholder. A proxyholder need not be a PCSC shareholder.** 

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the extraordinary general meeting in person, the effect will be, among other things, that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the extraordinary general meeting. If you are a shareholder of record and you attend the extraordinary general meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

Your attention is directed to the remainder of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus (including the Annexes and other documents referred to therein) for a more complete description of the proposed Business Combination and related transactions and each of the proposals. You are encouraged to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus carefully and in its entirety, including the Annexes and other documents referred to therein. If you have any questions or need assistance voting your PCSC Shares, please contact Morrow Sodali LLC, our proxy solicitor, by calling (800) 662-5200, or banks and brokers can call collect at (203) 658-9400, or by emailing PCSC.info@investor.sodali.com.

Each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Consummation of the Business Combination is not conditioned upon the approval of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals or the Adjournment Proposal. Neither the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals nor the Adjournment Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal.

For more information, please see "*Business Combination Proposal,*" "*Domestication Proposal,*" "*Governing Documents Proposal,*" "*Advisory Governing Documents Proposal,*" "*Nasdaq Proposal,*" "*Equity Incentive Plan Proposal,*" "*Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal,*" "*Adjournment Proposal,*" and "—*Why is PCSC proposing the Adjournment Proposal?*"

PCSC will hold the extraordinary general meeting to consider and vote upon these proposals. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders of PCSC should read it carefully.

**After careful consideration, the PCSC Board, based in part upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, has unanimously determined that the Business Combination is fair, advisable, and in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders, as a whole, unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Mergers, and unanimously recommends that PCSC shareholders vote "FOR" the Business Combination Proposal, "FOR" the Domestication Proposal (in the case of the holders of the PCSC Class B Shares), "FOR" the Governing Documents Proposal (in the case of the holders of the PCSC Class B Shares), "FOR" the Advisory Governing Documents Proposal, "FOR" the Nasdaq Proposal, "FOR" the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, "FOR" the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and "FOR" the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the PCSC shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting.** 

**The Business Combination was not structured to require the approval of at least a majority of PCSC's unaffiliated shareholders because such a vote is not required under Cayman Islands law. When you consider the recommendation of these proposals by the PCSC Board, you should keep in mind that PCSC's directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Interests of PCSC's Directors and Executive Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination*" in this proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.**

| A:<br>| Upon consummation of the Business Combination, and without any action on the part of any party or any other person, each issued and outstanding PCSC Class A Share (excluding public shares validly submitted for redemption) will convert automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of New Freenome Common Stock. This proxy statement/prospectus includes important information about New Freenome and the business of New Freenome and its subsidiaries following consummation of the Business Combination. PCSC urges you to read the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus carefully.  |

| A:<br>| PCSC is a blank check company incorporated on March 22, 2024 as a Cayman Islands exempted company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. PCSC has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Based on PCSC's business activities, it is a "shell company" as defined under the Exchange Act because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.  |

PCSC has identified several criteria and guidelines it believes are important for evaluating acquisition opportunities. PCSC has sought to acquire companies that: have a scientific or other competitive advantage in the markets in which they operate and which can benefit from access to additional capital as well as PCSC's industry relationships and expertise; are ready to be public, with strong management, corporate governance and reporting policies in place; will likely be well received by public investors and are expected to have good access to the public capital markets; have significant embedded and/or underexploited growth opportunities; exhibit unrecognized value or other characteristics that PCSC believes have been misevaluated by the market based on its rigorous analysis and scientific and business due diligence review; and will offer attractive risk-adjusted equity returns for PCSC shareholders. In addition, PCSC (a) must complete an initial business combination with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts held in trust and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for an initial business combination and (b) is not permitted to effect an initial business combination with solely another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations.

Based on its due diligence investigations of Freenome and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by Freenome in the course of negotiations, the PCSC Board believes that Freenome meets the criteria and guidelines listed above. However, there is no assurance of this. See "*Business Combination Proposal—The Special Committee's and the PCSC Board's Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.*"

Although the PCSC Board believes, based in part upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, that the Business Combination with Freenome presents a unique business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of Freenome and its shareholders, the PCSC Board and the Special Committee did consider certain potentially material negative factors in arriving at that conclusion. These factors are discussed in greater detail in the sections entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—The Special Committee's and the PCSC Board's Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination*" and "*Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and PCSC.*"

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| PCSC is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Following the completion of its initial public offering, at the direction of the PCSC Board, representatives of PCSC, including Messrs. Stone and Poukalov, and Dr. Hukkelhoven commenced an active, targeted search for potential business combination candidates, leveraging the Sponsor's network of investment bankers, private equity firms and hedge funds (including Perceptive Advisors and its affiliates), consulting firms, legal and accounting firms, and numerous other business relationships, as well as the prior experience and network of PCSC's officers and directors. During this targeted search, PCSC reviewed approximately 200 potential business combination targets and conducted varying levels of preliminary due diligence on each, and evaluated and analyzed each as a potential business combination target based on, among other things, publicly available information and other market research available to PCSC and its representatives and their existing knowledge of the potential targets as a result of their network and existing relationships. Between October 2024 and December 2024, PCSC submitted non-binding term sheets to two companies, neither of which progressed to a business combination. Thereafter, PCSC continued to assess other potential business combination targets. Through this process, and based on discussion with members of the PCSC Board, PCSC further refined its focus and determined to concentrate its near-term efforts on a smaller set of potential business combination targets, including Freenome, that PCSC believed were the most compelling opportunities relative to the others reviewed. |

---

On February 19, 2025, Dr. Hukkelhoven, in her capacity as an executive officer of the Perceptive PIPE Investor, reached out to the other members of the Freenome Board, consisting of Deepika Pakianathan, Douglas VanOort, Randal Scott, Peter Kolchinsky, Moritz Hartmann, and Josh Lauer, to inquire whether Freenome would be interested in exploring a potential business combination with PCSC. The Perceptive PIPE Investor, was as of such time, and remains, an existing investor in Freenome, and Dr. Hukkelhoven, an executive officer of the Perceptive PIPE Investor, was as of such time, and remains, a member of the Freenome Board. As the Perceptive PIPE Investor has been an investor in Freenome since 2019, the Perceptive PIPE Investor has continuously monitored Freenome's business progress and capital needs. Dr. Hukkelhoven has been a representative appointed by the Perceptive PIPE Investor on the Freenome Board since 2020. At the direction of the Freenome Board,

Dr. Hukkelhoven informed the Perceptive PIPE Investor that Freenome was interested in exploring a capital raising transaction involving the Perceptive PIPE Investor and Dr. Hukkelhoven proposed the terms of the PIPE Financing to the Perceptive PIPE Investor. For more information, see "*Business Combination Proposal — Interests of PCSC's Sponsor, Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.*"

The key terms of the Business Combination Agreement are the result of extensive negotiations between the representatives of PCSC and Freenome, each in consultation with its advisors, which occurred between mid-May 2025 through early August 2025. During such period, Freenome was also negotiating its exclusive licensing agreement with Exact Sciences Corporation ("***Exact Sciences***") to advance the commercialization of Freenome's colorectal ("***CRC***") blood-based screening test, which was ultimately signed and announced on August 6, 2025 (the "***Exact Sciences Transaction***"). The terms of the Exact Sciences Transaction included an upfront payment by Exact Sciences to Freenome of $75 million, as well as potential milestone payments of up to $700 million in connection with specified regulatory developments, royalties on test sales, $20 million in funding for joint research and development ("***R&D***") expenses leveraging the technology for three years and a convertible note of $50 million at an interest rate of 5% per annum.

On August 6, 2025, PCSC and Freenome executed a non-binding term sheet for a potential business combination involving PCSC and Freenome (the "***Non-Binding Term Sheet***") Term Sheet, setting out the material terms of the Business Combination, including that Freenome would be valued at approximately $1.05 billion on a post-Business Combination equity value basis, taking into account, among other things, (i) an assumed $300 million in aggregate proceeds from (a) the PIPE Financing (which would include at least $25 million expected to be contributed by Perceptive Advisors or its affiliates and at least $50 million expected to be contributed by RA Capital or its affiliates) and (b) the Trust Account at the closing, and (ii) an agreed pre-Business Combination base equity value for Freenome of $725 million. The Non-Binding Term Sheet further contemplated, among other things, (a) certain adjustments for leakage to the Freenome base equity value, (b) that any proceeds from the Exact Sciences Transaction or any transaction entered into with Roche Holdings, Inc. ("***Roche***") would not be counted as part of the base equity value of Freenome and that any shares or other equity interests of Freenome issued and outstanding in connection with such transactions would not be taken into account as part of the Freenome shares outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination for purposes of determining the applicable Exchange Ratio, (c) that in addition to other customary closing conditions, the obligation of Freenome to consummate the Business Combination would be subject to there being Aggregate Transaction Proceeds of at least $250,000,000, (d) a six-month lockup period after consummation of the Business Combination with respect to New Freenome shares to be issued to insider Freenome stockholders, including Perceptive Advisors and RA Capital, in the Business Combination, as well as certain demand and piggyback registration rights for certain stockholders, and (e) an exclusivity period (the "***Exclusivity Period***") binding on both PCSC and Freenome.

Between October 6, 2025 and December 4, 2025, PCSC and Freenome, with the assistance of their respective advisors, exchanged and negotiated drafts of the definitive Business Combination Agreement, the disclosure schedules to the Business Combination Agreement and the other ancillary documents, including the Investor Rights Agreement, the Transaction Support Agreement, the New Freenome certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the Lock-Up Agreement and the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement and the related ancillary documents, on December 5, 2025, the PIPE Investors executed and delivered the Subscription Agreements, which provided for binding subscriptions to purchase an aggregate of 24,000,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock at $10.00 per share.

As contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the structure and timing of the Business Combination and the PIPE Financing are consistent with common practice in initial business combination transactions consummated by special purpose acquisition companies. In addition, the timing for the consummation of the Business Combination provided for in the Business Combination Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, which was effectively as soon as reasonably practicable following the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, was determined and agreed by the parties in light of general business considerations weighing in favor of consummating the transaction promptly and the deadline for PCSC to complete an initial business combination by June 13, 2026 (unless otherwise extended).

| **Q:**<br>| **Will PCSC and Freenome obtain new financing in connection with the Business Combination and are there any arrangements to help ensure that PCSC will have sufficient funds to consummate the Business Combination and that New Freenome will have sufficient funds to operate Freenome's business following the Closing?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, on December 5, 2025, PCSC entered into Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and PCSC agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, on the Closing Date immediately following the Closing, an aggregate of 24,000,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, and aggregate gross proceeds of $240.0 million.  |

---

Existing Freenome stockholders (other than the Perceptive PIPE Investor and investors who were existing PCSC shareholders) subscribed for approximately $72.4 million of the PIPE Financing. Existing PCSC shareholders (other than the Perceptive PIPE Investor and investors who were existing Freenome stockholders) subscribed for approximately $15 million of the PIPE Financing. PIPE Investors who were both existing shareholders of PCSC and Freenome (other than the Perceptive PIPE Investor) subscribed for approximately $52.6 million of the PIPE Financing. The Perceptive PIPE Investor subscribed for an aggregate of $55 million of the PIPE Financing. Investors who were neither existing Freenome stockholders nor existing PCSC shareholders subscribed for approximately $45 million of the PIPE Financing.

The obligations of each party to consummate the PIPE Financing are conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the New Freenome Common Stock (including the New Freenome Common Stock issuable to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreements) having been approved for listing on Nasdaq; and (ii) satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the closing of the transactions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. The obligations of the PIPE Investors to consummate the PIPE Financing are further subject to additional conditions, including, among other things: (i) the Business Combination Agreement shall not have been amended, modified, or supplemented, and no condition waived thereunder, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the economic benefits that a PIPE Investor would reasonably expect to receive under the Subscription Agreement; (ii) the material truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of PCSC in the Subscription Agreement, subject to customary bringdown standards; (iii) no subscription agreement, or other agreements or understandings (including side letters) entered into in connection with the sale of New Freenome Common Stock under the Subscription Agreements, with any other PIPE Investors shall have been amended, modified, or waived in any manner that benefits such other PIPE Investor unless all PIPE Investors have been offered substantially the same benefits; and (iv) there has not occurred any material adverse effect or parent material adverse effect since the date of the Subscription Agreement that is continuing. See "*Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements—PIPE Financing.*"

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the obligations of the parties to consummate the Business Combination are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions of the respective parties, including, without limitation, the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds equaling no less than $250.0 million. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition has not been satisfied. The parties intend to satisfy the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition through the PIPE Financing and through amounts released to us from the trust account. In the event the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition is not satisfied as a result of redemptions of public shares which reduce the amount available to be released to us from the trust account, Freenome may, in its sole discretion, waive the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition. If Freenome waives the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition, PCSC intends to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of such event, however such condition may be waived at any time prior to the Closing, including after the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting, and, given such timing, you may not be notified before the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting. For more information, see "*Business Combination Proposal—The Business Combination Agreement—Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination*."

|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Why is PCSC proposing the Adjournment Proposal?**  |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Holders of PCSC Shares are being asked to consider and vote upon the Adjournment Proposal to approve the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or convenient (A) to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the proxy statement/prospectus is provided to PCSC shareholders (B) in order to solicit additional proxies from PCSC shareholders in favor of one or more of the proposals at the extraordinary general meeting, (C) if PCSC shareholders redeem an amount of the

xvi

------

public shares such that (i) the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition would not be satisfied; or (ii) the New Freenome Common Stock would not be approved for listing on a U.S. stock exchange.

Each U.S. stock exchange requires issuers applying for initial listing on such exchange to comply with certain initial listing criteria. New Freenome intends to apply for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to qualify for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, pursuant to Nasdaq Rule IM-5505, New Freenome expects to be required to have at least 1 million unrestricted publicly held shares, a market value of unrestricted publicly held shares of at least $5 million and 300 unrestricted round lot stockholders. Irrespective of redemption levels in connection with the Business Combination, PCSC and Freenome expect that New Freenome will comply with applicable initial listing rules of Nasdaq by issuing at Closing a sufficient number of shares of unrestricted New Freenome Common Stock to existing Freenome stockholders that will not be directors, officers and/or 10% or larger stockholders of New Freenome. See the sections entitled "*Adjournment Proposal*" and "*Risk Factors—Nasdaq may delist PCSC's Class A Shares from its exchange prior to the Closing or Nasdaq may not list New Freenome's securities on its exchange, which could limit investors' ability to make transactions in PCSC's Class A Shares or in New Freenome's securities and subject PCSC or New Freenome, as applicable, to additional trading restrictions*" for additional information.

| **Q:**<br>| **Will I have the opportunity to vote on the Domestication Proposal or the Governing Documents Proposal if I only hold PCSC Class A Shares?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| No. Pursuant to the Existing Governing Documents, prior to the closing of an initial business combination only holders of PCSC Class B Shares may vote on the Domestication Proposal or the Governing Documents Proposal. The initial shareholders, being the Sponsor and PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal), hold all issued and outstanding PCSC Class B Shares. Holders of only PCSC Class A Shares are not entitled to vote on the Domestication Proposal or the Governing Documents Proposal.  |

| **Q:**<br>| **Why was the Special Committee formed?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| An affiliate of PCSC and the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, was an existing investor in Freenome prior to and during the course of discussions between PCSC and Freenome with respect to the Business Combination. Dr. Ellen Hukkelhoven, an executive officer of the Perceptive PIPE Investor, is a director of Freenome. In light of potential conflicts of interest with respect to the Business Combination as a result of the Perceptive PIPE Investor's pre-existing ownership interest in Freenome and the fact that Perceptive PIPE Investor has a designee serving as a director of Freenome (such conflicts are described more fully in the section entitled "—*Interests of PCSC's Directors and Executive Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination*"), the PCSC Board formed the Special Committee, comprised of three independent and disinterested members of the PCSC Board, Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song M.D., and Harlan W. Waksal, M.D. PCSC Board delegated the Special Committee the power and authority to (i) consider, review and to evaluate the terms and conditions, and determine the advisability, of the Business Combination (and the proposed terms of any definitive agreement with respect to the Business Combination) and any alternatives thereto that the Special Committee deems appropriate, (ii) determine whether the Business Combination or any alternative thereto negotiated by the Special Committee is fair to, and in the best interests of, PCSC and PCSC shareholders as a whole, and (iii) with respect to any actions required to be taken by the full PCSC Board with respect to the Business Combination or any alternative thereto, recommend to the PCSC Board what action, if any, should be taken by the PCSC Board. Special Committee was empowered to retain legal counsel to advise it and assist it in connection with fulfilling its duties as delegated by the PCSC Board; retain such other advisors, consultants and agents, including, without limitation, investment bankers, as the Special Committee may deem necessary or appropriate to perform such services and render such opinions as may be necessary or appropriate in order for the Special Committee to discharge its duties; and enter into such contracts providing for the retention, compensation, reimbursement of expenses and indemnification of such legal counsel, investment bankers, consultants and agents as the Special Committee may in its sole discretion deem necessary or appropriate. The Special Committee engaged separate U.S. counsel, Ropes, and Cayman Islands counsel, Maples. The Special Committee also engaged Scalar to provide an opinion to the Special Committee as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to PCSC and the PCSC Unaffiliated Shareholders (defined as the holders of PCSC Class A Shares other than (i) Freenome, (ii) the Sponsor, (iii) the Key Supporting Company Stockholders, (iv) holders of PCSC Class A Shares who elect to redeem their shares prior to or in connection with the Business Combination, and (v) the PIPE Investors) of the shares of New Freenome Common Stock to be paid by PCSC in the First Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.  |

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Yes. On December 4, 2025, the Special Committee received an opinion from Scalar as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to PCSC and the PCSC Unaffiliated Shareholders (defined as the holders of PCSC Class A Shares other than (i) Freenome, (ii) the Sponsor, (iii) the Key Supporting Company Stockholders, (iv) holders of PCSC Class A Shares who elect to redeem their shares prior to or in connection with the Business Combination, and (v) the PIPE Investors) of the shares of New Freenome Common Stock to be paid by PCSC in the First Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, which was based on and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on and scope of the review undertaken by Scalar, as set forth in such opinion, as more fully described in the subsection "*Business Combination Proposal—Opinion of Scalar, LLC*." A copy of Scalar's opinion is attached hereto as **Annex L**.

As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, but no later than one business day following the Effective Time, as part of the Second Merger, Freenome, as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving company in the Second Merger.

| **Q:**<br>| **How will New Freenome be managed following the Business Combination?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Following the Closing, it is expected that the current management of Freenome will become the management of New Freenome, and the size of the New Freenome Board will be increased to consist of nine directors, as discussed in greater detail in "*Proposal No. 3—Governing Documents Proposal*" and "*Management of New Freenome following the Business Combination*." Under the terms of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, upon the effectiveness thereof, the New Freenome Board will be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. Class I directors will initially serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing. Class II and Class III directors will initially serve for a term expiring at the second and third annual meeting of New Freenome stockholders following the Closing, respectively. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting of the stockholders. There will be no limit on the number of terms a director may serve on the New Freenome Board.  |

| **Q:**<br>| **What equity stake will current PCSC shareholders and current equityholders of Freenome hold in New Freenome immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?**  |

---

A: As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 11,067,500 PCSC Shares issued and outstanding, of which 8,911,250 are PCSC Class A Shares and 2,156,250 are PCSC Class B Shares.

The following tables illustrate estimated ownership levels in New Freenome, immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, based on varying levels of redemptions by public shareholders. In the following tables, the No Redemptions Scenario, the 25% Redemptions Scenario, the 50% Redemptions Scenario and the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition Redemptions Scenario each assume that the $250.0 million Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition is satisfied through a combination of the $240.0 million PIPE Financing and retained funds in the trust account. In the event the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition is not satisfied as a result of redemptions of public shares which reduce the amount available to be released to us from the trust account, Freenome may, in its sole discretion, waive the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition. If Freenome waives the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition, PCSC intends to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of such event, however such condition may be waived at any time prior to the Closing, including after the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting, and, given such timing, you may not be notified before the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting.

The following table excludes the dilutive effect of Rollover Options, Rollover RSU Awards, the Exact Sciences Note, and shares of New Freenome Common Stock that will initially be available for issuance under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan and the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Share ownership presented in the two tables above is only presented for illustrative purposes and does not necessarily reflect what New Freenome's share ownership will be after the Closing. PCSC and New Freenome cannot predict how many of the public shareholders will exercise their right to have their public shares redeemed for cash. As a result, the redemption amount and the number of public shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination may differ from the amounts presented above, and therefore the ownership percentages of public shareholders may also differ if the actual redemptions are different from these assumptions. The public shareholders that do not elect to redeem their public shares will experience immediate dilution as a result of the Business Combination. The public shareholders currently own approximately 77.9% of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares. As noted in the above table, even if no public shareholders redeem their public shares in the Business Combination, the public shareholders' ownership will decrease from approximately 77.9% of the PCSC Shares prior to the Business Combination to owning approximately 7.66% of the total outstanding New Freenome Common Stock at the Closing. As redemptions increase, the overall percentage ownership held by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal), Freenome Stockholders and the PIPE Investors will increase as compared to the overall percentage ownership and voting percentage held by public shareholders, thereby increasing dilution to public shareholders. For more information about the consideration to be received in the Business Combination, these scenarios, and the underlying assumptions, see "*Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information.*" See also "*Risk Factors—The public shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Freenome Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and due to future issuances of equity awards to Freenome employees, directors, or consultants. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that our current shareholders have on the management of New Freenome.*"

| **Q:**<br>| **What is the effective purchase price attributed to the New Freenome Common Stock to be received by the public shareholders, the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal), and the Freenome Stockholders at Closing?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, public shareholders who do not redeem their public shares will receive one share of New Freenome Common Stock for each PCSC Class A Share held by them immediately prior to the Domestication. While PCSC cannot be certain of the price such public shareholders paid for their public shares, assuming they purchased their public shares for $10.00 per share, which was the price of the PCSC Class A Shares sold in PCSC's initial public offering, the effective purchase price paid per share of Freenome Common Stock issued to each public shareholder at Closing would be $10.00. In connection with PCSC's initial public offering, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 2,156,250 PCSC Class B Shares, or approximately $0.01 per share. In connection with the Business Combination, the 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares held by the Sponsor and an additional aggregate of 90,000 PCSC Class B Shares held by PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal) will be automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into PCSC Class A Shares immediately prior to the Domestication, which will then automatically convert at the effective time of the Domestication into an equal number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock, valued at $10.00 per share, which is the assumed per share price used in the Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. The Sponsor also purchased 286,250 PCSC Class A Shares at a price of $10.00 per share in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of PCSC's initial public offering; such shares will automatically convert at the effective time of the Domestication into an equal number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock valued at $10.00 per share, which is the assumed per share price used in the Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. The Perceptive PIPE Investor will also receive an estimated 5,615,003 shares of New Freenome Common Stock in the Business Combination upon the exchange of Freenome capital stock held by the Perceptive PIPE Investor pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, and the Freenome stockholders (excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor) will receive an estimated 65,516,765 shares of New Freenome Common Stock in the Business Combination, excluding an estimated 6,491,941 shares of New Freenome Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Rollover Options and 4,294,391 shares of New Freenome Common Stock issuable pursuant to Rollover RSU Awards, which is equal to $655.2 million divided by $10.00 per share, which is the assumed per share price used in the Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. The PIPE Investors (which includes the Perceptive PIPE Investor) will purchase 24,000,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, which is equal to $240.0 million. As a result of the low price the Sponsor paid for the PCSC Class B Shares, the Sponsor may realize a positive rate of return on its investment in the PCSC Class B Shares even if the market price per share of New Freenome Common Stock is below $10.00 per share after Closing, in which case the public shareholders may experience a negative rate of return on their investment. Based on the closing price of $13.58 per  |

---

xxii

------

PCSC Class A Share on January 6, 2026, the Sponsor may receive potential profits of approximately $13.57 per PCSC Class B Share, and accordingly may make a substantial profit on its investment in the PCSC Class B Shares at a time when shares of New Freenome Common Stock may have lost significant value. On the other hand, if PCSC liquidates without completing a business combination before June 13, 2026, the Sponsor will lose its investment in PCSC.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Why is PCSC proposing the Domestication?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| The PCSC Board believes that there are significant advantages to us that will arise as a result of a change of our domicile to Delaware. Further, the PCSC Board believes that any direct benefit that the DGCL provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits its stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation. The PCSC Board believes that there are several reasons why transfer by way of continuation to Delaware is in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders, as a whole, including, (i) the prominence, predictability and flexibility of the DGCL, (ii) Delaware's well-established principles of corporate governance and (iii) the increased ability for Delaware corporations to attract and retain qualified directors, each of the foregoing are discussed in greater detail in the section entitled "*Domestication Proposal—Reasons for the Domestication*."  |

---

To effect the Domestication, we will file an application for deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file a certificate of corporate domestication and a certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which we will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation.

The approval of the Domestication Proposal is a condition to closing the Business Combination under the Business Combination Agreement. The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Class B Shares who, being present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The holders of the PCSC Class A Shares will have no right to vote on the Domestication Proposal, in accordance with Article 34.2 of the Existing Governing Documents.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **What amendments will be made to the current constitutional documents of PCSC?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| The consummation of the Business Combination is conditional, among other things, on the Domestication. Accordingly, in addition to voting on the Business Combination, PCSC's shareholders also are being asked to consider and vote the Domestication Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal, to replace PCSC's Existing Governing Documents with the Proposed Governing Documents, which differ from the Existing Governing Documents in several material respects, as summarized in the table below. The approval of the Domestication Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal each requires a special resolution of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Class B Shares who, being present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The holders of the PCSC Class A Shares will have no right to vote on the Domestication Proposal or the Governing Documents Proposal, in accordance with Article 34.2 of the Existing Governing Documents.  |

---

PCSC's shareholders are asked to consider and vote upon and to approve as an ordinary resolution, on a non-binding and advisory basis only, six separate proposals in connection with the replacement of the Existing Governing Documents with the Proposed Governing Documents. These six proposals are being presented separately in accordance with SEC guidance to give shareholders the opportunity to present their separate views on important corporate governance provisions and will be voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis. This separate vote is not otherwise required by Cayman or Delaware law, but pursuant to SEC guidance, PCSC is required to submit these provisions to its shareholders separately for approval. The shareholder votes regarding these proposals are advisory in nature, and are not binding on PCSC, the PCSC Board, Freenome or the New Freenome Board. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals (separate and apart from the approval of the Governing Documents Proposal). Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on these proposals, PCSC intends that the Proposed Governing Documents will take effect from the registration of PCSC in the State of Delaware and its organization as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, assuming approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal.

| **Q:**<br>| **How will the Domestication affect my PCSC Class A Shares?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| The Domestication is intended to occur at least one business day prior to the Closing Date. In connection with the Domestication, (1)(a) immediately prior to the Domestication, holders of PCSC Class B Shares will elect to convert their PCSC Class B Shares, into PCSC Class A Shares, (b) immediately prior to the Domestication, PCSC will effect the PCSC Shareholder Redemptions, (c) and after effecting the PCSC Shareholder Redemptions, upon the Domestication, each issued and outstanding PCSC Class A Share will convert automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into one share New Freenome Common Stock, and (2) upon the Domestication, the governing documents of PCSC will be replaced with the Proposed Governing Documents, being the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws as described in this proxy statement/prospectus and attached as **Annex H** and **Annex I**, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus and PCSC's name will change to "Freenome, Inc." See "*Domestication Proposal.*"  |

---

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the Effective Time as part of the First Merger, Merger Sub I will merge with and into Freenome, with Freenome as the surviving company in the First Merger and, after giving effect to the First Merger, Freenome will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCSC, (i) the Freenome Common Shares issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including such shares issued upon the conversion of all shares of Freenome preferred stock into Freenome Common Shares prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, but excluding Freenome Common Shares held in treasury or by Freenome stockholders who have properly demanded appraisal of such Freenome Common Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL) will be automatically canceled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio; (ii) each Freenome Option, whether vested or

xxv

------

unvested, will cease to represent the right to purchase Freenome Common Shares and will be canceled in exchange for a Rollover Option under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan, in an amount equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of Freenome Common Shares subject to such Freenome Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient of (i) the exercise price per share of such Freenome Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, and generally subject to the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, expiration and forfeiture provisions) that applied to the corresponding Freenome Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (iii) each Freenome RSU Award, whether vested or unvested, will cease to have any rights in respect of the Freenome Common Shares and will be canceled in exchange for a Rollover RSU Award that settles in a number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) in an amount and subject to such terms and conditions, in each case, as to be set forth on an allocation schedule, that will generally be subject to the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, expiration and forfeiture provisions) that applied to the corresponding Freenome RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time. See "*Business Combination Proposal*."

| **Q:**<br>| **What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| As discussed more fully under "*Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations*," below, the Domestication generally should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "**Code**"). In the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, U.S. Holders (as defined in "*Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations*") of Public Shares will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code and, as a result: |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a U.S. Holder of Public Shares whose Public Shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication, and who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Public Shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of Public Shares, generally will not recognize any gain or loss and generally will not be required to include any part of PCSC's earnings in income pursuant to the Domestication;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a U.S. Holder of Public Shares whose Public Shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of the Domestication, and who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Public Shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of Public Shares will generally recognize gain (but not loss) on the exchange of Public Shares for shares of New Freenome Common Stock pursuant to the Domestication. As an alternative to recognizing gain, such U.S. Holders may file an election to include in income as a dividend the "all earnings and profits amount" (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to their Public Shares, provided certain other requirements are satisfied. PCSC does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a U.S. Holder of Public Shares who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Public Shares entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of Public Shares will generally be required to include in income as a dividend the "all earnings and profits amount" (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to its Public Shares. Any such U.S. Holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, effectively be exempt from taxation on a portion or all of the deemed dividend pursuant to Section 245A of the Code. PCSC does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication.

Furthermore, even in the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a U.S. Holder of Public Shares may, in certain circumstances, still recognize gain (but not loss) upon the exchange of its Public Shares for shares of New Freenome Common Stock pursuant to the Domestication under the passive foreign investment company ("**PFIC**") rules of the Code. Provisions of the Code, its legislative history, final, temporary and proposed U.S. treasury regulations promulgated thereunder ()"***Treasury Regulations***") with a retroactive effective date have been promulgated under Section 1291(f) of the Code which generally require that a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC must recognize gain equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of New Freenome Common Stock received in the Domestication over the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the corresponding Public Shares surrendered in exchange therefor, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. Because PCSC is a blank check company with no current active business, we believe

xxvi

------

that PCSC is likely to be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, these proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, may require a U.S. Holder of Public Shares to recognize gain on the exchange of such Public Shares for shares of New Freenome Common Stock pursuant to the Domestication, unless such U.S. Holder has made certain tax elections with respect to such U.S. Holder's Public Shares. The tax on any such gain so recognized would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on complex rules designed to offset the tax deferral to such U.S. Holder on the undistributed earnings, if any, of PCSC. It is not possible to determine at this time whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted. For a more complete discussion of the potential application of the PFIC rules to U.S. Holders as a result of the Domestication, see the discussion in the section entitled "*Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—U.S. Holders—PFIC Considerations.*"

Additionally, the Domestication may cause Non-U.S. Holders (as defined in "*Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations*") to become subject to U.S. federal withholding taxes on any dividends paid in respect of such Non-U.S. Holder's shares of New Freenome Common Stock after the Domestication.

The tax consequences of the Domestication are complex and will depend on a holder's particular circumstances. All holders are urged to consult their tax advisor on the tax consequences to them of the Domestication, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication, see "*Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.*"

| **Q:**<br>| **What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers?** |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| As discussed more fully under "*Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,*" below, the Mergers, taken together, generally should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. If the Mergers so qualify, a U.S. Holder (as defined under "*Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations*") of Freenome Common Stock, generally will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of shares of Freenome Common Stock for shares of New Freenome Common Stock pursuant to the Mergers, except with respect to cash received instead of fractional shares of New Freenome Common Stock. For further information, see "*--Tax Consequences of the Mergers to U.S. Holders of Freenome Common Stock.*"  |

---

All holders of Freenome Common Stock should consult their tax advisors for a full understanding of the particular tax consequences of the Mergers to them.

| **Q:**<br>| **What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?** |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| The tax consequences of an exercise of redemption rights depend on your particular facts and circumstances. Because the Domestication will occur after the PCSC Shareholder Redemptions, U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights should not be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367(b) of the Code as a result of the Domestication. Please see the section entitled "*Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—U.S. Holders—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights.*" We urge you to consult your tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Do I have redemption rights and is there a limit on the number of shares I may redeem?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| If you are a holder of public shares, you have the right to request that we redeem your public shares for cash provided that you follow the procedures and deadlines described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. **Public shareholders may elect to redeem the public shares held by them regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal**. If you wish to exercise your redemption rights, please see the answer to the next question: "*How do I exercise my redemption rights?*"  |

---

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to all of their PCSC Shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price.

| **Q:**<br>| **How do I exercise my redemption rights?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Pursuant to the Existing Governing Documents, a public shareholder may request that PCSC redeem its public shares for cash contemporaneously with any vote on a Business Combination. If the Business Combination is approved, PCSC will pay to the holders of any public shares that have been validly tendered or delivered for redemption, a pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account not previously released to PCSC for permitted withdrawals. As a holder of public shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:  |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) hold public shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2026 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the extraordinary general meeting), (a) submit a written request to the PCSC transfer agent in which you (i) request that PCSC redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash, and (ii) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the public shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and (b) deliver your public shares to the PCSC transfer agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

**Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their public shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2026 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed.** 

The address of Continental, PCSC's transfer agent, is listed under the question "*Who can help answer my questions?*" below.

The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to PCSC's transfer agent in order to validly redeem its shares. Public shareholders may seek to have their public shares redeemed by PCSC, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal and whether they held PCSC Shares as of the record date or acquired them after the record date. Any public shareholder who holds PCSC Shares on or before [•], 2026 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the extraordinary general meeting) will have the right to demand that his, her or its public shares be redeemed for a pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account not previously released to us for permitted withdrawals. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the trust account of approximately $91,918,776.09 on January 6, 2026, the estimated per share redemption price is expected to be approximately $10.66. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our public shareholders. Therefore, the per share distribution from the trust account in such a situation may be less than originally expected due to such claims, and we cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by shareholders will not be less than $10.00. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors' claims.

A public shareholder who has properly tendered or delivered his, her or its public shares for redemption will be entitled to receive his, her or its pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account in cash for such public shares only if the Business Combination is completed. If the Business Combination is not completed, the redemptions will be canceled, and the tendered shares will be returned to the relevant public shareholders as appropriate. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own any shares. See "*Extraordinary General Meeting of PCSC—Redemption Rights*" in this proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Public shareholders who seek to redeem their public shares must demand redemption no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2026 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the extraordinary general meeting) by (a) submitting a written request to PCSC's transfer agent that PCSC redeem such holder's public shares for cash, (b) affirmatively certifying in such request to PCSC's transfer agent for redemption if such holder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other shareholder with respect to PCSC Shares and (c) tendering or delivering their PCSC Shares, either physically or electronically using DTC's DWAC system, at the holder's option, to PCSC's transfer agent prior to the extraordinary general meeting. If you hold the PCSC Shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your

xxviii

------

PCSC Shares certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered or delivered to PCSC's transfer agent (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. PCSC's transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker a nominal fee and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their PCSC Shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of his, her, its or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, any shares held by a public shareholder or "group" in excess of such 15% cap will not be redeemed by PCSC.

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public shares, may not be withdrawn following the redemption deadline, being 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2026 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the extraordinary general meeting), unless the PCSC Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). Furthermore, if a public shareholder demands redemption of such public shares and subsequently decides prior to the redemption deadline not to elect to exercise such rights, he or she may simply request that PCSC's transfer agent return the public shares (physically or electronically). Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by PCSC's transfer agent prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. **No request for redemption will be honored unless the holder's public shares have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to PCSC's transfer agent at least two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the extraordinary general meeting.**

If a public shareholder properly makes a request for redemption and the public shares are delivered as described above, then, we will redeem the public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds deposited in the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, less any taxes then due but not yet paid. If the Business Combination is approved, PCSC pay to the holders of any public shares that have been validly tendered or delivered for redemption a pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account not previously released to PCSC for permitted withdrawals.

| **Q:**<br>| **What interests do the Freenome directors and officers have in the Business Combination?**  |

---

A: Freenome's directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of the PCSC shareholders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Dr. Hukkelhoven, an executive officer of the Perceptive PIPE Investor, is a director of Freenome. In light of her relationship with both Freenome and the Perceptive PIPE Investor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, and to avoid any potential conflicts of interest, Freenome formed the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Upon the completion of the Business Combination, the following persons are expected to be appointed Executive Officers of New Freenome: Drs. Elliott and Lin and Messrs. Ennis and Le. For a description of these arrangements see *"Management of New Freenome Following the Business Combination—Executive Officers."* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, Elliott is expected to receive the Initial Equity Awards and Anti-Dilution Equity Awards. See *"Executive Compensation—Employment Arrangements in Place Prior to the Business Combination for Named Executive Officers."* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Certain of Freenome's directors are holders of, and/or are affiliated with entities that are holders of, Freenome equity interests and in such capacity will be entitled to receive the shares of New Freenome Common Stock payable to all holders of such equity interests pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Additionally, certain of Freenome's directors are affiliated with entities that are PIPE Investors. See "*Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Freenome*" and "*Beneficial Ownership of Securities.* "

| **Q:**<br>| **What happens to the funds deposited in the trust account after consummation of the Business Combination?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Following the closing of our initial public offering, an amount equal to $86,250,000 of the net proceeds from our initial public offering and the sale of the private placement shares was placed in the trust account. As of December 31, 2025, cash and investments held in the trust account totaled approximately $91,872,418 (including approximately $5,622,418 of investment income) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. These funds will remain in the trust account, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (i) the completion of PCSC's initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Existing Governing Documents to modify the substance and timing of PCSC's obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if PCSC does not complete a business combination by June 13, 2026 (unless such date is extended in accordance with the Existing Governing Documents), or (iii) the redemption of all the public shares of PCSC is unable to complete a business combination by June 13, 2026 (unless such date is extended in accordance with the Existing Governing Documents), subject to applicable law or with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of public shares of PCSC.  |

---

If our initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination should it occur) is paid for using equity or debt securities or not all of the funds released from the trust account are used for payment of the consideration in connection with our initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination should it occur) or used for redemptions or purchases of the public shares, New Freenome may apply the balance of the cash released to us from the trust account for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of New Freenome, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing our Business Combination, to fund the purchase of other companies or for working capital. See "*Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus—Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination*."

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **What happens if a substantial number of the public shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their redemption rights?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Our public shareholders are not required to vote "FOR" the Business Combination in order to exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the trust account and the number of public shareholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by public shareholders.  |

---

In no event will PCSC redeem public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the PIPE Financing.

Additionally, as a result of redemptions, the trading market for the New Freenome Common Stock may be less liquid than the market for the public shares was prior to consummation of the Business Combination and we may not be able to meet the listing standards for Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. See "*Risk Factors—Nasdaq may delist PCSC Class A Shares from its exchange prior to the Closing or Nasdaq may not list New Freenome's securities on its exchange, which could limit investors' ability to make transactions in PCSC Class A Shares or in New Freenome's securities and subject PCSC or New Freenome, as applicable, to additional trading restrictions*" for additional information.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the approval by PCSC's shareholders of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals being obtained; (ii) the approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by the Freenome stockholders; (iii) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, (iv) no legal restraint or prohibition issued by any governmental entity enjoining, prohibiting or prevent the consummation of the Business Combination being in effect, (v) the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, (iv) the approval for listing of the New Freenome Common Stock (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the shares of New Freenome Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the First Merger) on Nasdaq; (vi) after giving effect to the Business Combination (including the PIPE Financing and any PCSC shareholder redemptions), PCSC having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) immediately after the Effective Time, (v) the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition being satisfied; and (vi) the consummation of the Domestication. Therefore, unless these conditions are waived by the applicable parties to the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement could terminate and the Business Combination may not be consummated.  |

|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **When do you expect the Business Combination to be completed?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| It is currently expected that the Business Combination will be consummated in the second quarter of 2026. This date depends, among other things, on the approval of the proposals to be put to PCSC shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting. However, such extraordinary general meeting could be adjourned if the Adjournment Proposal is adopted by our shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting and we elect to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates if necessary or convenient, (i) to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus is provided to PCSC shareholders (B) in order to solicit additional proxies from PCSC shareholders in favor of one or more of the Conditions Precedent Proposals at the extraordinary general meeting or (C) if PCSC shareholders redeem an amount of public shares such that the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition would not be satisfied.

| **Q:**<br>| **Following the Business Combination, will PCSC's securities continue to trade on a stock exchange?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| PCSC will effect the Domestication from the Cayman Islands to Delaware. In connection with the Domestication, (a) immediately prior to the Domestication, holders of PCSC Class B Shares will elect to convert their PCSC Class B Shares, into PCSC Class A Shares, (b) immediately prior to the Domestication, PCSC will effect the PCSC Shareholder Redemptions, (c) and after effecting the PCSC Shareholder Redemptions, upon the Domestication, each issued and outstanding PCSC Class A Share will convert automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into one share New Freenome Common Stock. |

---

PCSC has applied to list the New Freenome Common Stock on Nasdaq under the symbol "FRNM" upon the closing of the Business Combination.

It is a condition to Freenome's and PCSC's obligations to consummate the Business Combination that the New Freenome Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, including the shares of New Freenome Common Stock in the Business Combination and the PIPE Shares, is approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject only to official notice of issuance. Additionally, it is a condition to the obligations of the parties to the Subscription Agreements to consummate the PIPE Financing that the New Freenome Common Stock, including the PIPE Shares, has been approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject only to official notice of issuance.

PCSC and Freenome believe that PCSC will satisfy the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market at the Closing, but there can be no assurance such listing condition will be met. If such listing condition is not met, the Business Combination may not be consummated unless such condition is waived by Freenome and PCSC, and the PIPE Financing may not be consummated unless such condition is waived by the PIPE Investors.

However, it is important for you to consider that, at the time of the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting, New Freenome may not have received from Nasdaq either confirmation of the listing of the New Freenome Common Stock or confirmation that approval will be obtained prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and you will not be notified prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting if New Freenome has not yet received such approval or confirmation. As a result, you may be asked to vote to approve the Business Combination and the other proposals included in this proxy statement/prospectus without knowing whether the New Freenome Common Stock will be listed on Nasdaq or another securities exchange and, further, it is possible that such listing may never be achieved and the Business Combination could still be consummated if such condition is waived. Please see the subsection entitled "*Description of New Freenome Securities—Listing of Securities*" for additional information.

| **Q:**<br>| **What underwriting and placement agency fees are payable in connection with the Business Combination?**  |

|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated June 11, 2024 (the "***Underwriting Agreement***"), by and between PCSC and Jefferies LLC ("***Jefferies***"), Jefferies was paid an upfront cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per public share, or $1,725,000 in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of PCSC's initial public offering (the "***Upfront Discount***"). In addition, Jefferies is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.40 per public share, or $3,450,000 in the aggregate (the "***Deferred Discount***"). The Deferred Discount will become payable from the amounts held in the trust account solely in the event that PCSC completes a business combination, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.  |

In connection with such engagements, PCSC agreed to pay each of Jefferies and Leerink Partners a fee equal to $2.0 million at the Closing.

| **Q:**<br>| **What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| PCSC will not complete the Domestication to Delaware unless all other conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination have been satisfied or waived by the parties in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. If PCSC is not able to consummate the Business Combination with Freenome nor able to complete another business combination by June 13, 2026, in each case, as such date may be extended pursuant to our Existing Governing Documents, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 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 earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released for permitted withdrawals (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the PCSC Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Existing Governing Documents provide that, if we wind up for any other reason prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, we will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the trust account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands law.  |

|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **What else do I need to do now?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| We urge you to read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a shareholder. Our shareholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **How do I vote?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| If you are a holder of record of PCSC Shares on the record date of the extraordinary general meeting, you may vote in person at the extraordinary general meeting by submitting a proxy for the extraordinary general meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. **If you hold your shares in "street name," which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.**  |

---

Each PCSC Share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote.

There are three ways to vote your PCSC Shares at the extraordinary general meeting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>You can vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card</u>. If you vote by proxy card, your "proxy," whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign, date and return the proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your shares will be voted as recommended by the PCSC Board "FOR" the Business Combination Proposal, "FOR" the Domestication Proposal (in the case of the holders of the PCSC Class B Shares), "FOR" the Governing Documents Proposal (in the case of the holders of the PCSC Class B Shares), "FOR" each of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, "FOR" the Nasdaq Proposal, "FOR" the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, "FOR" the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and "FOR" the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented at the extraordinary general meeting. Your proxy card must be received by PCSC not less than 48 hours before the scheduled time of the extraordinary general meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the person named in the proxy card proposes to vote. Proxy cards received after this time will not be counted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>You can attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote in person</u>. You will receive a ballot when you arrive. However, if your PCSC Shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a valid legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way PCSC can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your PCSC Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>You can vote electronically</u>. You may attend, vote and examine the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting by visiting [•] and entering the control number found on your proxy card.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **If my shares are held in "street name," will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| No. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the "beneficial holder" of the shares held for you in what is known as "street name." If this is the case, this proxy statement/prospectus may have been forwarded to you by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, or its agent. As the beneficial holder, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker on a particular proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, your shares will not be voted on that proposal. This is called a "broker non-vote." Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal. If you decide to vote, you should provide instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee.  |

| **Q:**<br>| **How has the announcement of the Business Combination affected the trading price of the public shares?**  |

On January 6, 2026, a recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, public shares closed at $13.58 per share.  |

|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Who is entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| PCSC has fixed [•], 2026 as the record date for the extraordinary general meeting. If you were a shareholder of PCSC at the close of business on the record date, you are entitled to vote on matters that come before the extraordinary general meeting. However, a shareholder may only vote his or her shares if he or she is present in person or is represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **How many votes do I have?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| PCSC shareholders are entitled to one vote at the extraordinary general meeting for each PCSC Share held of record as of the record date at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the close of business on the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, there were 11,067,500 PCSC Shares issued and outstanding, of which 8,625,000 were public shares.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **What constitutes a quorum?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| A quorum of PCSC shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the extraordinary general meeting if one or more shareholders who together hold not less than one-third of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting are represented in person or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, 3,689,167 PCSC Shares would be required to achieve a quorum at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date, the initial shareholders owned of record an aggregate of 2,442,500 PCSC Shares, representing approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares. Therefore, an additional 1,246,667 public shares are required to establish a quorum.  |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **What vote is required to approve each proposal at the extraordinary general meeting?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| The following votes are required for each proposal at the extraordinary general meeting:  |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)  ***Business Combination Proposal:*** The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)  ***Domestication Proposal:*** The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the holders of issued and outstanding PCSC Class B Shares who, being present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The holders of the PCSC Class A Shares will have no right to vote on the Domestication Proposal, in accordance with Article 34.2 of the Existing Governing Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)  ***Governing Documents Proposal:*** The approval of the Governing Documents Proposal requires a special resolution of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the holders of issued and outstanding PCSC Class B Shares who, being present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The holders of the PCSC Class A Shares will have no right to vote on the Governing Documents Proposal, in accordance with Article 34.2 of the Existing Governing Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)  ***Advisory Governing Documents Proposals:*** The separate approval of each of the six Advisory Governing Documents Proposals requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, on a non-binding and advisory basis only, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. These six proposals are being presented separately in accordance with SEC guidance to give shareholders the opportunity to present their separate views on important corporate governance provisions and will be voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis. This separate vote is not otherwise required by Cayman or Delaware law, but pursuant to SEC guidance, PCSC is required to submit these provisions to its shareholders separately for approval. The shareholder votes regarding these proposals are advisory in nature, and are not binding on PCSC, the PCSC Board, Freenome or the New Freenome Board. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals (separate and apart from the approval of the Governing Documents Proposal). Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on these proposals, PCSC intends that the Proposed Governing Documents will take effect from the registration of PCSC in the State of Delaware as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, assuming approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)  ***Nasdaq Proposal:*** The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)  ***Equity Incentive Plan Proposal:*** The approval of the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal: The approval of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii)  ***Adjournment Proposal:*** The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

------

As of the close of business on the record date, there were 11,067,500 PCSC Shares issued and outstanding, of which 8,911,250 were PCSC Class A Shares and 2,156,250 were PCSC Class B Shares. The initial shareholders collectively own 2,442,500 PCSC Shares, or approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares as follows: (i) the Sponsor owns 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares and 286,250 PCSC Class A Shares; and (ii) the PCSC independent directors each own 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares, for an aggregate of 90,000 PCSC Class B Shares. Accordingly, we will need 5,533,751 PCSC Shares, or 3,091,251 public shares in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders, to vote in favor of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal to approve it if all PCSC Shares are present and cast votes. If only the minimum quorum is present, no public shares will be required to vote in favor of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal to approve it.

Approval of the Domestication Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal requires a special resolution of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the holders of issued and outstanding PCSC Class B Shares who, being present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The holders of the PCSC Class A Shares will have no right to vote on the Domestication Proposal or the Governing Documents Proposal.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **What are the recommendations of the PCSC Board?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| The PCSC Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting are in the best interest of PCSC and its shareholders, as a whole, and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote "FOR" the Business Combination Proposal, "FOR" the Domestication Proposal (in the case of the holders of the PCSC Class B Shares), "FOR" the Governing Documents Proposals (in the case of the holders of the PCSC Class B Shares), "FOR" each of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, "FOR" the Nasdaq Proposal, "FOR" the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, "FOR" the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and "FOR" the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting.  |

---

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of PCSC's directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders, as a whole, and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, PCSC's officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Interests of PCSC's Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination*" for a further discussion of these considerations.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **How do the Sponsor and the other initial shareholders intend to vote their shares?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| The initial shareholders, being the Sponsor and PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal), have agreed to vote the PCSC Shares owned by them in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, our initial shareholders own approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares. As of the record date of the extraordinary general meeting, there were 8,911,250 PCSC Shares outstanding.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **May the Sponsor and the other initial shareholders purchase public shares prior to the extraordinary general meeting?** |

---

A: None of our Sponsor, the other initial shareholders nor any of their respective affiliates has purchased, or currently has an intention to purchase, public shares prior to the extraordinary general meeting. However, subject to Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, at any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding us or our securities, the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase public shares prior to the extraordinary general meeting. The purpose of such transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that (i) the Business Combination Proposal, each of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock

xxxvi

------

Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are approved by the requisite majorities, (ii) otherwise limit the number of public shares electing to redeem and (iii) New Freenome's net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the PIPE Financing. If such purchases occur, the public "float" of New Freenome following the Business Combination may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of the New Freenome Common Stock on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange.

In the event our Sponsor, the other initial shareholders and/or any of their respective affiliates, subject to Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their public shares. Any public shares purchased by our Sponsor, the other initial shareholders or any of their respective affiliates would not be voted in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals, and redemptions rights (if any) over such purchased securities would be waived by the aforementioned persons. Any such purchased securities would also have a purchase price no higher than the redemption price.

In addition, we will file a Current Report on Form 8-K and will (i) amend this proxy statement/prospectus, if such arrangements are entered into prior to effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, or (ii) file a supplement to this proxy statement/prospectus, if such arrangements are entered into after effectiveness of such registration statement, to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Condition Precedent Proposals or the satisfaction of any closing conditions. Any such disclosures will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons, and will describe the material costs of such arrangements to PCSC and Freenome, as well as their potential impact to New Freenome after giving effect to the Business Combination as well as: (i) the number of public shares purchased outside of the redemption offer, along with the purchase price(s) for such shares; (ii) the purpose of any such purchases; (iii) the impact, if any, of the purchases on the likelihood that the Condition Precedent Proposals will be approved; (iv) the identities of the equity holders who sold to our Sponsor, the other initial shareholders or their respective affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of the equity holders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold such public shares; and (v) the number of public shares for which PCSC has received redemption requests pursuant to our redemption offer. None of the funds in the trust account will be used to purchase public shares in such transactions. None of our Sponsor, the other initial shareholders nor any of their respective affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller of such public shares or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. PCSC hereby represents that any public shares purchased by our Sponsor, the other initial shareholders or any of their respective affiliates in situations in which the tender offer rules regarding restrictions on purchases would apply would not be voted in favor of approving the Condition Precedent Proposals.

Adam Stone, our Chief Executive Officer, is the Chief Investment Officer of Perceptive Advisors and Michael Altman, our Chief Business Officer, is a Managing Director at Perceptive Advisors. Perceptive Advisors' investment activity is focused on identifying both private and public companies in the life sciences and medical technology sectors and has investments in 234 companies as of December 31, 2025. The team at Perceptive Advisors consists of trained scientists, physicians and financial analysts who are passionately committed to identifying innovation that can drive critical change to current treatment paradigms. Perceptive Advisors invests across the capital structure and throughout a company's growth cycle which provides access to a broad universe of management teams and

companies seeking flexible capital solutions. Perceptive Advisors is also an active investor in pre-IPO financing rounds known as "crossovers." Perceptive Advisors has invested in over 144 private companies since 2013 and in 2025 met with over 200 private companies in evaluation of private growth financing rounds, crossovers, and pre-IPO analysis. For a description of our management team's previous experience with other special purpose acquisition vehicles, see "*Information about PCSC—Experience with Special Purpose Acquisition Vehicles.*"

The Sponsor is governed by a board of directors consisting of two directors, Adam Stone and Michael Altman, who are U.S. citizens. As such, Messrs. Stone and Altman have voting and investment discretion with respect to the securities held of record by the Sponsor and may each be deemed to have shared beneficial ownership of all of the PCSC Shares held directly by the Sponsor. Additionally, as of March 18, 2026, Mr. Edelman has an aggregate indirect ownership interest in the Sponsor of approximately 37%, and may therefore be considered to have a material interest in the Sponsor.

The Sponsor is not "controlled" (as defined in 31 CFR 800.208) by a foreign person, such that the Sponsor's involvement in any business combination would be a "covered transaction" (as defined in 31 CFR 800.213). However, it is possible that non-U.S. persons could be involved in our business combination, which may increase the risk that our business combination becomes subject to regulatory review, including review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. ("***CFIUS***"), and that restrictions, limitations or conditions will be imposed by CFIUS. If our business combination with a U.S. business is subject to CFIUS review, the scope of which was expanded by FIRRMA, to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subjects certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If our potential business combination with a U.S. business falls within CFIUS's jurisdiction, we may determine that we are required to make a mandatory filing or that we will submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with a business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing a business combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay our business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such business combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company without first obtaining CFIUS clearance, which may limit the attractiveness of or prevent us from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to us and our shareholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete a business combination may be limited and we may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues. A failure to notify CFIUS of a transaction where such notification was required or otherwise warranted based on the national security considerations presented by an investment target may expose our Sponsor and/or the combined company to legal penalties, costs, and/or other adverse reputational and financial effects, thus potentially diminishing the value of the combined company. In addition, CFIUS is actively pursuing transactions that were not notified to it and may ask questions regarding, or impose restrictions or mitigation on, a business combination post-closing.

Moreover, the process of government review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and we have limited time to complete our business combination. If we cannot complete a business combination within 24 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering because the transaction is still under review or because our business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, we may be required to liquidate. If we liquidate, shareholders of record may only receive their pro rata portion of funds available in the Trust Account. This will also cause you to lose the investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| When you consider the recommendation of the PCSC Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and PCSC's officers and directors have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) the interests of unaffiliated PCSC shareholders. Further, PCSC's officers and directors have additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity, which are set forth in more detail in the section titled "*Information About PCSC — Conflicts of Interest*." We believe there were no such opportunities that were not presented as a result of the existing fiduciary or contractual obligations of our officers and directors to other entities. The PCSC Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and Business  |

Combination Agreement and in recommending to our shareholders that they vote in favor of the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. PCSC shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Sponsor invested in PCSC an aggregate of $2,887,500, comprised of the $25,000 purchase price for 2,156,250 PCSC Class B Shares, or approximately $0.01 per share, and the $2,862,500 purchase price for 286,250 private placement shares at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Subsequent to the initial purchase of the PCSC Class B Shares by the Sponsor, the Sponsor transferred 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares, to each of PCSC's three independent directors, being Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song M.D., and Harlan W. Waksal, M.D. Such shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination or be worthless if the Business Combination is not consummated and PCSC is liquidated. Assuming a trading price of $13.58 per share of New Freenome Common Stock (based upon the closing price of the PCSC Class A Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on January 6, 2026), such 2,442,500 shares of New Freenome Common Stock that are expected to be issued to our initial shareholders at Closing would have an implied aggregate market value of $33.2 million (based upon the closing price of the PCSC Class A Shares on January 6, 2026). However, given that such shares of New Freenome Common Stock will be subject to certain restrictions, including those described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, PCSC believes such shares of New Freenome Common Stock have less value. Even if the trading price of the New Freenome Common Stock were as low as approximately $1.19 per share, the aggregate market value of such shares of New Freenome Common Stock held by the initial shareholders would be approximately equal to the initial investment in PCSC by the initial shareholders. Therefore, the Sponsor and its affiliates could earn a positive rate of return on their investments, even if other PCSC shareholders experience a negative rate of return in New Freenome and PCSC's directors and officers and the Sponsor may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate an initial business combination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that, as a result of the low purchase price paid for the PCSC Class B Shares, if the Business Combination is completed, the Sponsor and PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal) are likely to be able to make a substantial profit on their investment in PCSC even at a time when the New Freenome Common Stock has lost significant value. Accordingly, the economic interests of the Sponsor and PCSC's independent directors diverge from the economic interests of public shareholders because the Sponsor and PCSC's independent directors will realize a gain on its investment from the completion of any business combination while public shareholders will realize a gain only if the post-closing trading price exceeds $10.00 per share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the initial shareholders have agreed not to redeem any PCSC Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the initial shareholders have agreed to vote any PCSC Shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the initial shareholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any PCSC Shares (other than public shares subsequently acquired by them) held by them if the Business Combination is not approved and PCSC fails to complete the Business Combination by June 13, 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of PCSC's existing directors and officers and requires PCSC to purchase, or cause to be purchased, at or prior to the Effective Time, and New Freenome to maintain in effect for a period of six years after the Effective Time, a "tail" policy providing directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage for certain PCSC directors and officers after the Business Combination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Sponsor and PCSC's officers and directors will lose their entire investment in PCSC and will not be reimbursed for any loans extended, fees due or out-of-pocket expenses incurred on PCSC's behalf related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination if the Business Combination is not consummated by June 13, 2026. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, PCSC does not owe the Sponsor any outstanding sums pursuant to any working capital loans, promissory notes, the existing administrative services and indemnification agreement between PCSC and the Sponsor, or otherwise;

xxxix

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that, in connection with the Closing and immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Sponsor may elect to contribute Working Capital Loans, of up to $3,000,000, to PCSC in exchange for PCSC Class A Shares (the "Working Capital Shares"), which are convertible at the option of the Sponsor into shares of New Freenome Common Stock, at a conversion price of $10.00 per share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that if the trust account is liquidated, including in the event PCSC is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify PCSC to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the trust account, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which PCSC has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to PCSC, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated by June 13, 2026, PCSC will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding PCSC Class A Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and the PCSC Board, liquidating and dissolving;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Investor Rights Agreement was entered into with the initial shareholders, the Perceptive PIPE Investor and certain Freenome stockholders, which, among other things, (a) gives the initial shareholders, the Perceptive PIPE Investor and certain Freenome stockholders certain registration rights, including the right to have the offer and sale of their shares of New Freenome Common Stock registered on a resale registration statement to be filed by New Freenome shortly after the consummation of the Business Combination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Sponsor Letter Agreement was executed with the initial shareholders, pursuant to which the initial shareholders, among other things, waive all adjustments to the conversion ratio set forth in the Existing Governing Documents with respect to the PCSC Class B Shares, and agree to be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to PCSC Shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. No consideration has been or will be paid to PCSC, Freenome, Sponsor or each of PCSC's independent directors in connection with the entry into the Sponsor Letter Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Perceptive PIPE Investor has entered into a subscription agreement to purchase 5,500,000 shares in the PIPE Financing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement executed by the Perceptive PIPE Investor. For more information on the assumptions underlying the number of shares described in the foregoing as being issuable on the Closing Date, please see "*Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and PCSC—PCSC shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Freenome Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that PCSC's current shareholders have on the management of New Freenome* ";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Perceptive PIPE Investor, which is an affiliate of the Sponsor and certain of PCSC's directors and officers, has a fully diluted equity ownership stake in Freenome of 6.85% (representing shares of Series B, C, D and F Freenome Preferred Stock), which, assuming a no redemption scenario, will convert into 5,615,003 shares of New Freenome Common Stock, or an approximately 4.99% equity stake in New Freenome in connection with the Business Combination. PCSC estimates that, at the Closing, if unrestricted and freely tradeable, such shares would be valued at approximately $56.2 million, based on the $13.58 closing price of the PCSC Class A Shares on January 6, 2026. However, given that such shares of New Freenome Common Stock will be subject to certain restrictions, including those described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, PCSC believes such shares have less value. See the assumptions underlying such ownership percentages described in the section entitled "*Beneficial Ownership of Securities*" and more information to consider under "*Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and PCSC—PCSC shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Freenome Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that PCSC's current shareholders have on the management of New Freenome*." Actual number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock issuable on the Closing Date will be determined pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements and the Business Combination Agreement, as applicable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that Dr. Hukkelhoven, an executive officer of the Perceptive PIPE Investor, is a director of Freenome;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that Joseph Edelman, Adam Stone, Michael Altman and Sam Cohn are affiliated with the Perceptive PIPE Investor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the right of the Sponsor and the Perceptive PIPE Investor to hold shares of New Freenome Common Stock following the Business Combination, subject to the terms and conditions of the lock-up restrictions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that PCSC may be entitled to distribute or pay over funds held by PCSC outside the Trust Account to the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates prior to the Closing.

In addition, certain persons who are expected to become New Freenome directors after the completion of the Business Combination may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of the PCSC shareholders.

The Business Combination Agreement is the legal document that governs the Business Combination and the other transactions that will be undertaken in connection with the Business Combination. The Business Combination Agreement is also described in detail in this proxy statement/prospectus in the section entitled "Business Combination Proposal—The Business Combination Agreement."* 

#### Parties to the Business Combination
*Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp*

PCSC is a blank check company incorporated on March 22, 2024 as a Cayman Islands exempted company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

PCSC Class A Shares are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "PCSC."

PCSC's principal executive offices are located at 51 Astor Place, 10<sup>th</sup> Floor, New York, New York 10003, and its phone number is (212) 284-2300.

*StarNet Merger Sub I, Corp.*

Merger Sub I is a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of PCSC. Merger Sub I was formed solely for the purpose of effecting the Business Combination and has not carried on any activities other than those in connection with the Business Combination. The address and telephone number for Merger Sub I's principal executive offices are the same as those for PCSC.

*StarNet Merger Sub II, LLC* 

Merger Sub II is a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of PCSC. Merger Sub II was formed solely for the purpose of effecting the Business Combination and has not carried on any activities other than those in connection with the Business Combination. The address and telephone number for Merger Sub II's principal executive offices are the same as those for PCSC.

*Freenome Holdings, Inc.* 

Freenome is a development stage, early cancer detection company developing blood-based screening tests leveraging a proprietary artificial intelligence/machine learning multiomics technology platform to transform multi-cancer and ultimately multi-disease detection.

Freenome is developing a range of blood-based cancer screening tests. Its lead product, SimpleScreen CRC (v1), has been submitted to the FDA for premarket approval, with a decision expected in 2026, and an improved version is also in development. A blood-based lung cancer test aimed at high-risk individuals is on track to launch in the second half of 2026 . Freenome also recently initiated a clinical study which will inform its plans and timing with respect to a regulatory submission to the FDA to support clinical validation of an in vitro device. Looking ahead, Freenome's preliminary strategy is to eventually expand its platform to screen for more than ten types of cancer, with a broader general-population offering planned for the longer term, each subject to regulatory approval.

Freenome currently has no products approved for commercial sale in the United States and has not generated any material revenue to date, and it continues to incur significant R&D and other expenses related to ongoing operations. Freenome's ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, if ever, will depend on premarket approval of the SimpleScreen CRC (v1) and future development of multi-cancer early detection tests.

Freenome has incurred operating losses in each year since its inception. Freenome's net losses were $219.3 million and $274.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, Freenome had an accumulated deficit of $1.3 billion.

#### Background and Material Terms of the Business Combination
PCSC is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Following the completion of its initial public offering on June 13, 2024, at the direction of the PCSC Board, representatives of PCSC, including Messrs. Stone and Poukalov, and Dr. Hukkelhoven commenced an active, targeted search for potential business combination candidates, leveraging the Sponsor's network of investment bankers, private equity firms and hedge funds (including Perceptive Advisors and its affiliates), consulting firms, legal and accounting firms, and numerous other business relationships, as well as the prior experience and network of PCSC's officers and directors. During this targeted search, PCSC reviewed approximately 200 potential business combination targets and conducted varying levels of preliminary due diligence on each, and evaluated and analyzed each as a potential business combination target based on, among other things, publicly available information and other market research available to PCSC and its representatives and their existing knowledge of the potential targets as a result of their network and existing relationships. Between October 2024 and December 2024, PCSC submitted non-binding term sheets to two companies, neither of which progressed to a business combination. Thereafter, PCSC continued to assess other potential business combination targets. Through this process, and based on discussion with members of the PCSC Board, PCSC further refined its focus and determined to concentrate its near-term efforts on a smaller set of potential business combination targets, including Freenome, that PCSC believed were the most compelling opportunities relative to the others reviewed.

On February 19, 2025, Dr. Hukkelhoven, in her capacity as an executive officer of the Perceptive PIPE Investor, reached out to the other members of the Freenome Board, consisting of Deepika Pakianathan, Douglas VanOort, Randal Scott, Peter Kolchinsky, Moritz Hartmann, and Josh Lauer, to inquire whether Freenome would be interested in exploring a potential business combination with PCSC. The Perceptive PIPE Investor, was as of such time, and remains, an existing investor in Freenome, and Dr. Hukkelhoven, an executive officer of the Perceptive PIPE Investor, was as of such time, and remains, a member of the Freenome Board. As the Perceptive PIPE Investor has been an investor in Freenome since 2019, the Perceptive PIPE Investor has continuously monitored Freenome's business progress and capital needs. Dr. Hukkelhoven has been a representative appointed by the Perceptive PIPE Investor on the Freenome Board since 2020. At the direction of the Freenome Board, Dr. Hukkelhoven informed the Perceptive PIPE Investor that Freenome was interested in exploring a capital raising transaction involving the Perceptive PIPE Investor and Dr. Hukkelhoven proposed the terms of the PIPE Financing to the Perceptive PIPE Investor. For more information, see "*Business Combination Proposal — Interests of PCSC's Sponsor, Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.*"

The key terms of the Business Combination Agreement are the result of extensive negotiations between the representatives of PCSC and Freenome, each in consultation with its advisors, which occurred between mid-May 2025 through early August 2025. During such period, Freenome was also negotiating its exclusive licensing agreement with Exact Sciences Corporation ("***Exact Sciences***") to advance the commercialization of Freenome's colorectal (CRC) blood-based screening test, which was ultimately signed and announced on August 6, 2025 (the "***Exact Sciences Transaction***"). The terms of the Exact Sciences Transaction included an upfront payment by Exact Sciences to Freenome of $75 million, as well as potential milestone payments of up to $700 million in connection with specified regulatory developments, royalties on test sales, $20 million in funding for joint R&D expenses leveraging the technology for three years and a convertible note of $50 million at an interest rate of 5% per annum.

On August 6, 2025, PCSC and Freenome executed the Non-Binding Term Sheet, setting out the material terms of the Business Combination, including that Freenome would be valued at approximately $1.05 billion on a post-Business Combination equity value basis, taking into account, among other things, (i) an assumed $300 million in aggregate proceeds from (a) the PIPE Financing (which would include at least $25 million expected to be contributed by Perceptive Advisors or its affiliates and at least $50 million expected to be contributed by RA Capital or its affiliates) and (b) the Trust Account at the closing, and (ii) an agreed pre-Business Combination base equity value for Freenome of $725 million. The Non-Binding Term Sheet further contemplated, among other things, (a) certain adjustments for leakage to the Freenome base equity value, (b) that any proceeds from the Exact Sciences Transaction or any transaction entered into with Roche would not be counted as part of the base equity value of Freenome and that any shares or other equity interests of Freenome issued and outstanding in connection with such transactions would not be taken into account as part of the Freenome shares outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
for purposes of determining the applicable Exchange Ratio, (c) that in addition to other customary closing conditions, the obligation of Freenome to consummate the Business Combination would be subject to there being Aggregate Transaction Proceeds of at least $250,000,000, (d) a six-month lockup period after consummation of the Business Combination with respect to New Freenome shares to be issued to insider Freenome stockholders, including Perceptive Advisors and RA Capital, in the Business Combination, as well as certain demand and piggyback registration rights for certain stockholders, and (e) an Exclusivity Period binding on both PCSC and Freenome.

Between October 6, 2025 and December 4, 2025, PCSC and Freenome, with the assistance of their respective advisors, exchanged and negotiated drafts of the definitive Business Combination Agreement, the disclosure schedules to the Business Combination Agreement and the other ancillary documents, including the Investor Rights Agreement, the Transaction Support Agreement, the New Freenome certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the Lock-Up Agreement and the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement and the related ancillary documents, on December 5, 2025, the PIPE Investors executed and delivered the Subscription Agreements, which provided for binding subscriptions to purchase an aggregate of 24,000,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock at $10.00 per share.

As contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the structure and timing of the Business Combination and the PIPE Financing are consistent with common practice in initial business combination transactions consummated by special purpose acquisition companies. In addition, the timing for the consummation of the Business Combination provided for in the Business Combination Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, which was effectively as soon as reasonably practicable following the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, was determined and agreed by the parties in light of general business considerations weighing in favor of consummating the transaction promptly and the deadline for PCSC to complete an initial business combination by June 13, 2026 (unless otherwise extended).

#### PIPE Financing
In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, on December 5, 2025, PCSC entered into Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and PCSC agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, on the Closing Date immediately following the Closing, an aggregate of 24,000,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, and aggregate gross proceeds of $240.0 million.

Existing Freenome stockholders (other than the Perceptive PIPE Investor and investors who were existing PCSC shareholders) subscribed for approximately $72.4 million of the PIPE Financing. Existing PCSC shareholders (other than the Perceptive PIPE Investor and investors who were existing Freenome stockholders) subscribed for approximately $15.0 million of the PIPE Financing. PIPE Investors who were both existing shareholders of PCSC and Freenome (other than the Perceptive PIPE Investor) subscribed for approximately $52.6 million of the PIPE Financing. The Perceptive PIPE Investor subscribed for an aggregate of $55 million of the PIPE Financing. Investors who were neither existing Freenome stockholders nor existing PCSC shareholders subscribed for approximately $45.0 million of the PIPE Financing.

The obligations of each party to consummate the PIPE Financing are conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the New Freenome Common Stock (including the New Freenome Common Stock issuable to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreements) having been approved for listing on Nasdaq; and (ii) satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the closing of the transactions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. The obligations of the PIPE Investors to consummate the PIPE Financing are further subject to additional conditions, including, among other things: (i) the Business Combination Agreement shall not have been amended, modified, or supplemented, and no condition waived thereunder, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the economic benefits that a PIPE Investor would reasonably expect to receive under the Subscription Agreement; (ii) the material truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of PCSC in the Subscription Agreement, subject to customary bringdown standards; (iii) no subscription agreement, or other agreements or understandings (including side letters) entered into in connection with the sale of New Freenome Common Stock under the Subscription Agreements, with any other PIPE Investors shall have been amended, modified, or waived in any manner that benefits such other PIPE Investor unless all PIPE Investors have been offered substantially the same benefits; and (iv) there has not occurred any material adverse effect or parent material adverse effect since the date of the Subscription Agreement that is continuing. See "*Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements—PIPE Financing.*"

#### Lock-Up Agreement
In connection with the Closing, the Sponsor and certain former Freenome stockholders will enter into the Lock-Up Agreement with PCSC. Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, the Sponsor and certain Freenome stockholders will agree not to transfer (except for certain permitted transfers) any shares of New Freenome Common Stock held by such holder after the Domestication until six (6) months after the Closing Date. See "*Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements—Lock-up Agreements.*"

#### Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination
Under the Business Combination Agreement, the obligations of the parties to consummate the Business Combination are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions of the respective parties, including, without limitation, the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds equaling no less than $250.0 million. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition has not been satisfied. The parties intend to satisfy the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition through the PIPE Financing and through amounts released to us from the trust account. In the event the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition is not satisfied as a result of redemptions of public shares which reduce the amount available to be released to us from the trust account, Freenome may, in its sole discretion, waive the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition. If Freenome waives the Aggregate Transaction

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Proceeds Condition, PCSC intends to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of such event, however such condition may be waived at any time prior to the Closing, including after the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting, and, given such timing, you may not be notified before the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting. For more information, see "*Business Combination Proposal—The Business Combination Agreement—Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.*"

#### Termination
The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Closing, including, among others, the following: (i) by either PCSC or Freenome if the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are not consummated on or prior to September 5, 2026; (ii) by either PCSC or Freenome if the requisite approvals by the PCSC shareholders of the Condition Precedent Proposals are not obtained at the extraordinary general meeting (including any adjournment thereof); (iii) by PCSC, if Freenome has not delivered, or caused to be delivered to PCSC, the Freenome Stockholder Written Consent or the Transaction Support Agreements as and when required under the Business Combination Agreement; (iv) by PCSC or Freenome, if Freenome or PCSC, as applicable, has breached any of its respective representations, warranties, agreements or covenants under the Business Combination Agreement, and such breach or failure would render certain conditions precedent to the Closing incapable of being satisfied, and such breach or failure is not cured by the time allotted in the Business Combination Agreement; and (v) by the mutual written consent of PCSC and Freenome.

If the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated, none of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement will have any liability or any further obligation under the Business Combination Agreement other than in the case of a willful breach of any covenant or agreement under the Business Combination Agreement or fraud. For more information, see "*Business Combination Proposal—The Business Combination Agreement—Termination*."

#### Related Agreements
In connection with the Business Combination, certain other related agreements have been, or will be entered into on or prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including the Transaction Support Agreements, the Sponsor Letter Agreement, and the Investor Rights Agreement. See *"—Related Agreements*" for more information.

#### Ownership of New Freenome
The following tables illustrate estimated ownership levels in New Freenome, immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, based on varying levels of redemptions by public shareholders. In the following tables, the No Redemptions Scenario, the 25% Redemptions Scenario, the 50% Redemptions Scenario and the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition Redemptions Scenario each assume that the $250.0 million Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition is satisfied through a combination of the $240.0 million PIPE Financing and retained funds in the trust account. In the event the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition is not satisfied as a result of redemptions of public shares which reduce the amount available to be released to us from the trust account, Freenome may, in its sole discretion, waive the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition. If Freenome waives the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition, PCSC intends to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of such event, however such condition may be waived at any time prior to the Closing, including after the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting, and, given such timing, you may not be notified before the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Amount includes 71,089,352 shares of New Freenome Common Stock issued to Freenome stockholders *less* 5,611,587 and 12,778,058 shares that will be held by the Perceptive PIPE Investor and Roche, respectively, which are presented in the rows labeled "Sponsor and the Perceptive PIPE Investor" And "Roche."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Amount includes the 18,500,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock to be issued to the PIPE Investors, *less* the 5,500,000 shares to be purchased by the Perceptive PIPE Investor as part of the PIPE Financing (which are presented in the row labeled "Sponsor and the Perceptive PIPE Investor").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) Amount comprises the potentially dilutive shares that could be issued pursuant to 8,252,587 Rollover Options issued to holders of Freenome Options (whether vested or unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time) in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) Amount comprises the potentially dilutive shares that could be issued pursuant to 4,291,830 Rollover RSU Awards issued to holders of Freenome RSU Awards (whether vested or unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time) in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9) Includes 3,333,333 shares of New Freenome Common Stock which would be issued upon Exact Sciences' optional election to convert the Exact Sciences Note.

------

Share ownership presented in the two tables above is only presented for illustrative purposes and does not necessarily reflect what New Freenome's share ownership will be after the Closing. PCSC and New Freenome cannot predict how many of the public shareholders will exercise their right to have their public shares redeemed for cash. As a result, the redemption amount and the number of public shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination may differ from the amounts presented above, and therefore the ownership percentages of public shareholders may also differ if the actual redemptions are different from these assumptions. The public shareholders that do not elect to redeem their public shares will experience immediate dilution as a result of the Business Combination. The public shareholders currently own approximately 77.9% of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares. As noted in the above table, even if no public shareholders redeem their public shares in the Business Combination, the public shareholders' ownership will decrease from approximately 77.9% of the PCSC Shares prior to the Business Combination to owning approximately 7.66% of the total outstanding New Freenome Common Stock at the Closing. As redemptions increase, the overall percentage ownership held by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal), Freenome Stockholders and the PIPE Investors will increase as compared to the overall percentage ownership and voting percentage held by public shareholders, thereby increasing dilution to public shareholders. For more information about the consideration to be received in the Business Combination, these scenarios, and the underlying assumptions, see "*Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information.*" See also "*Risk Factors—The public shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Freenome Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and due to future issuances of equity awards to Freenome employees, directors, or consultants. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that our current shareholders have on the management of New Freenome.*"

#### Interests of PCSC's Directors and Executive Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination
In considering the recommendation of the PCSC Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposal, each of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, PCSC shareholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and PCSC's officers and directors have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) the interests of unaffiliated PCSC shareholders. Further, PCSC's officers and directors have additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity, which are set forth in more detail in the section titled "*Information About PCSC—Conflicts of Interest*." We believe there were no such opportunities that were not presented as a result of the existing fiduciary or contractual obligations of our officers and directors to other entities. The PCSC Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and Business Combination Agreement and in recommending to our shareholders that they vote in favor of the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. PCSC shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. See "*Business Combination Proposal—Interests of PCSC's Directors and Executive Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination.*"

The securities to be issued to the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and PCSC's officers and directors may result in a material dilution of the equity interests of non-redeeming public shareholders. PCSC's independent directors are not members of the Sponsor and are not affiliates of the Perceptive PIPE Investor. None of the funds in the trust account will be used to compensate our officers or directors. Except for administrative services fees and office rental fees paid or to be paid to the Sponsor, no compensation of any kind, including finder's and consulting fees, have been paid or will be paid to the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. However, as detailed above, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations, as discussed above. The reimbursement of expenses and advances to the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and PCSC's officers and directors may result in a material dilution of the equity interests of non-redeeming public shareholders.

#### The Special Committee's and the PCSC Board's Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination
Before unanimously determining that the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, each ancillary agreement, and the Business Combination were fair, advisable, and in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders as a whole, the Special Committee and the PCSC Board considered a wide variety of factors in connection with their evaluation of the Business Combination. In light of the complexity of the factors considered, the Special Committee and the PCSC Board, as a whole, did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors they took into account in reaching their respective decisions. Rather, the Special Committee and the PCSC Board based their evaluation, negotiation and recommendation of the Business Combination on the totality of information available and the factors presented to and considered by them. In addition, individual members of the Special Committee and the PCSC Board may have given different weights to different factors.

The PCSC Board and the Special Committee reached its unanimous decision in light of a variety of factors, including but not limited to Freenome's novel technology for early cancer detection, accompanied with positive data, Freenome's critical and valuable commercial partnerships, Freenome's market opportunity, Freenome's experienced leadership team, and the size of the PIPE Financing committed. The Special Committee also reviewed the financial analysis and opinion of Scalar rendered to the Special Committee to the effect that, as of December 4, 2025 and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken, and other matters considered by Scalar in connection with the opinion, the consideration to be delivered to the Freenome Stockholders in the First Merger pursuant to the Business Combination was fair, from a financial point of view, to the PCSC Unaffiliated Shareholders. The Special Committee and the PCSC Board also considered a variety of factors and risks, potentially weighing negatively against pursuing the Business Combination, including, but not limited to macroeconomic risks that may cause Freenome's future financial performance to not meet the Special Committee's and the PCSC Board's present expectations, the risk of regulatory changes that may adversely affect Freenome's projected financial results and the other business benefits anticipated to result from the Business Combination, the redemption risk, the risk that PCSC shareholders may fail to provide the votes necessary to effect the Business Combination, the risks and costs to PCSC if the Business Combination is not completed, including the fact that PCSC may be forced to liquidate if PCSC being unable to effect a business combination by June 13, 2026 (unless otherwise extended), the risk that Closing may not occur due to failure to satisfy Closing conditions to the Business Combination, and the absence of possible structural protections for minority shareholders.

For more information about the Special Committee's and PCSC Board's reasons for the approval of the Business Combination, see "*Business Combination Proposal — The Special Committee's and the PCSC Board's Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.*"

#### Opinion of Scalar, LLC
On December 4, 2025, Scalar rendered its oral opinion to the Special Committee, subsequently confirmed in writing, as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of such date, to (1) the PCSC Class A Shareholders (other than (i) Freenome, (ii) Sponsor, (iii) the Key Supporting Company Stockholders, (iv) PCSC Class A Shareholders who elect to redeem their shares prior to or in connection with the Transaction, and (v) the PIPE Investors, (collectively, along with their respective affiliates, the "***Excluded Parties***")) of the consideration to be delivered to the Freenome Stockholders in the Transaction, without giving effect to any impact of the Transaction on any particular PCSC Class A Shareholder other than in its capacity as a PCSC Class A Shareholder, and (2) PCSC. The full text of Scalar's written opinion, dated December 4, 2025, which sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken, and other matters considered by Scalar in connection with the opinion are fully described in the subsection "*Business Combination Proposal— Opinion of Scalar, LLC*". A copy of Scalar's opinion is attached hereto as **Annex L**. The summary of Scalar's opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Scalar's written opinion. Scalar's opinion was provided for the information and assistance of the Special Committee and does not constitute a recommendation as to how any shareholder of PCSC should vote or act (including with respect to any redemption rights) with respect to the Transaction or any other matter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Nasdaq Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Adjournment Proposal (if presented).

#### Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes; Voting Your Shares; Record Date
With respect to each proposal in this proxy statement/prospectus, you may vote "FOR," "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN."

Proxies that are marked "abstain" and proxies relating to "street name" shares that are returned to PCSC but marked by brokers as "not voted" will be treated as PCSC Shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal. If a shareholder does not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, its broker may not vote its shares on "non-routine" proposals, such as the Business Combination Proposal or any of the other Condition Precedent Proposals.

Each PCSC Share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of PCSC Shares that you own. If your shares are held in "street name" or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

PCSC shareholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the extraordinary general meeting if they owned PCSC Shares at the close of business on [•], 2026, which is the record date for the extraordinary general meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 11,067,500 PCSC Shares issued and outstanding, of which 8,911,250 were PCSC Class A Shares and 2,156,250 were PCSC Class B Shares.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Sponsor and each of PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal) have agreed to, among other things, vote all of their PCSC Shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. No consideration has been or will be paid by PCSC or Freenome to the Sponsor and each of PCSC's independent directors in connection with the entry into the Sponsor Letter Agreement. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the initial shareholders collectively own 2,442,500 PCSC Shares, or approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares as follows: (i) the Sponsor owns 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares and 286,250 private placement shares, which are PCSC Class A Shares; and (ii) the PCSC independent directors each own 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares, for an aggregate of 90,000 PCSC Class B Shares.

As of the record date, 3,689,167 PCSC Shares would be required to achieve a quorum. As of the record date, the initial shareholders owned of record an aggregate of 2,442,500 PCSC Shares, representing approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Redemption Rights
Pursuant to the Existing Governing Documents, a public shareholder may request that PCSC redeem its public shares for cash contemporaneously with the vote to approve the Business Combination and prior to the Domestication. If the Business Combination is approved, PCSC will pay to the holders any public shares that have been validly tendered or delivered for redemption a pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account not previously released to PCSC for permitted withdrawals. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Domestication shall occur at least one business day prior to the Closing Date. As a holder of public shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) hold public shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2026 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the extraordinary general meeting), (a) submit a written request to the PCSC transfer agent in which you (i) request that PCSC redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash, and (ii) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the public shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and (b) deliver your public shares to the PCSC transfer agent physically or electronically through DTC.

For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the trust account of approximately $91,918,776.09 on January 6, 2026, the estimated per share redemption price is expected to be approximately $10.66. A public shareholder who has properly tendered or delivered his, her or its public shares for redemption will be entitled to receive his, her or its pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account in cash for such shares only if the Business Combination is completed. If the Business Combination is not completed, the redemptions will be canceled and the tendered shares will be returned to the relevant public shareholders as appropriate. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own any shares.

Public shareholders who seek to redeem their public shares must demand redemption no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2026 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the extraordinary general meeting) by (a) submitting a written request to the PCSC transfer agent that PCSC redeem such holder's public shares for cash, (b) affirmatively certifying in such request to the PCSC transfer agent for redemption if such holder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other shareholder with respect to PCSC Shares and (c) tendering or delivering their PCSC Shares, either physically or electronically through the DWAC system, at the holder's option, to the PCSC transfer agent prior to the extraordinary general meeting. If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of his, her, its or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, any shares held by a public shareholder or "group" in excess of such 15% cap will not be redeemed by PCSC.

See the section entitled "*Extraordinary General Meeting of PCSC—Redemption Rights*" for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash. See also "*Questions and Answers about the Business Combination—Do I have redemption rights and is there a limit on the number of shares I may redeem?—How do I exercise my redemption rights?*" for additional information on the exercise of redemption rights.

As set forth in more detail elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, the public shareholders currently own approximately 77.9% of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, public shareholders, as a group, will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the Business Combination. As redemptions increase, the overall percentage ownership held by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal, Freenome Stockholders and the PIPE Investors will increase as compared to the overall percentage ownership and voting percentage held by public shareholders, thereby increasing dilution to public shareholders. For more information on the percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of New Freenome Common Stock immediately following the Closing that are expected to be held by securityholders, in various redemptions scenarios, see "*Dilution*."

#### Appraisal Rights and Dissenters' Rights
PCSC's shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under the DGCL. PCSC's shareholders do not have dissenters' rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under Cayman Islands law.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Proxy Solicitation Costs; Revoking Your Proxy; Changing Your Vote
PCSC is soliciting proxies on behalf of the PCSC Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. PCSC and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. PCSC will bear the cost of the solicitation.

PCSC has engaged Morrow as proxy solicitor to assist in the solicitation of proxies. PCSC has agreed to pay Morrow a fee of $25,000, plus disbursements, and will reimburse Morrow for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and indemnify Morrow and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses.

If a shareholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares if it revokes its proxy before the extraordinary general meeting. A shareholder also may change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled "*Extraordinary General Meeting of PCSC—Revoking Your Proxy; Changing Your Vote*."

#### Regulatory Matters
Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the Federal Trade Commission ("***FTC***"), certain transactions may not be consummated unless information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The Business Combination is subject to these requirements and may not be completed until the expiration of a 30-day waiting period following the filing of the required Notification and Report Forms with the Antitrust Division and the FTC or until early termination is granted. If the FTC or the Antitrust Division issues a second request within the initial 30-day waiting period, the waiting period with respect to the Business Combination will be extended for an additional period of 30 calendar days, which will begin on the date on which the filing parties each certify compliance with the second request. Complying with a second request can take a significant period of time.

Each of PCSC and Freenome filed a Notification and Report Form with the FTC and the Antitrust Division in connection with the Business Combination on December 29, 2025. The initial 30-day waiting period will expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on January 28, 2026. The regulatory approvals to which completion of the Business Combination are subject are described in more detail in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Business Combination Agreement—Regulatory Matters*."

#### Listing of Securities
PCSC has applied to list the New Freenome Common Stock on Nasdaq under the symbol "FRNM" upon the closing of the Business Combination.

It is a condition to Freenome's and PCSC's obligations to consummate the Business Combination that the New Freenome Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, including the shares of New Freenome Common Stock in the Business Combination and the PIPE Shares, is approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject only to official notice of issuance. Additionally, it is a condition to the obligations of the parties to the Subscription Agreements to consummate the PIPE Financing that the New Freenome Common Stock, including the PIPE Shares, has been approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject only to official notice of issuance.

Each U.S. stock exchange requires issuers applying for initial listing on such exchange to comply with certain initial listing criteria. New Freenome intends to apply for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to qualify for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, pursuant to Nasdaq Rule IM-5505, New Freenome expects to be required to have at least 1 million unrestricted publicly held shares, a market value of unrestricted publicly held shares of at least $5 million and 300 unrestricted round lot stockholders. Irrespective of redemption levels in connection with the Business Combination, PCSC and Freenome expect that New Freenome will comply with applicable initial listing rules of Nasdaq by issuing at Closing a sufficient number of shares of unrestricted New Freenome Common Stock to existing Freenome stockholders that will not be directors, officers and/or 10% or larger stockholders of New Freenome. See the sections entitled "*Adjournment Proposal*" and "*Risk Factors—Nasdaq may delist PCSC's Class A Shares from its exchange prior to the Closing or Nasdaq may not list New Freenome's securities on its exchange, which could limit investors' ability to make transactions in PCSC's Class A Shares or in New Freenome's securities and subject PCSC or New Freenome, as applicable, to additional trading restrictions*" for additional information.

If Freenome and PCSC, on the one hand, and/or the PIPE Investors, on the other hand, waive such condition, PCSC intends to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of such event, however you should know that given such timing you may not be notified before the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary

general meeting. It is important for you to consider that, at the time of the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting, New Freenome may not have received from Nasdaq either confirmation of the listing of the New Freenome Common Stock or confirmation that approval will be obtained prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and you will not be notified prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting if New Freenome has not yet received such approval or confirmation. As a result, you may be asked to vote to approve the Business Combination and the other proposals included in this proxy statement/prospectus without knowing whether the New Freenome Common Stock will be listed on Nasdaq or another securities exchange and, further, it is possible that such listing may never be achieved and the Business Combination could still be consummated if such condition is waived.

#### Recommendation of the PCSC Board
The Special Committee, with the advice and assistance of representatives of Scalar, and its other advisors, evaluated the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

On December 4, 2025, after careful consideration, the Special Committee unanimously (i) determined that the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, each ancillary agreement, and the Business Combination were fair, advisable, and in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders as a whole (ii) recommended that the PCSC Board approve the Business Combination Agreement, each ancillary agreement, the Business Combination and the other agreements and transactions contemplated thereby and (iii) subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, recommended that the PCSC shareholders approve the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

On the same day, after careful consideration and based in part on the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, the PCSC Board unanimously determined that the Business Combination is fair, advisable, and in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders as a whole, and approved and adopted the Business Combination Agreement, each ancillary agreement, the Business Combination and the other agreements and transactions contemplated thereby. The Business Combination was not structured to require the approval of at least a majority of PCSC's unaffiliated shareholders because such a vote is not required under Cayman Islands law.

The PCSC Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting are fair, advisable, and in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote "FOR" the Business Combination Proposal, "FOR" the Domestication Proposal (in the case of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares), "FOR" the Governing Documents Proposal (in the case of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares), "FOR" the Advisory Governing Documents Proposal, "FOR" the Nasdaq Proposal, "FOR" the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, "FOR" the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and "FOR" the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting.

For a more complete description of the Special Committee's and the PCSC Board's reasons for the approval of the Business Combination and the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee and the PCSC Board, see the subsection entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—The Special Committee's and the PCSC Board's Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination*."

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of PCSC's directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders, as a whole, and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, PCSC's officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Interests of PCSC's Directors and Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination*" for a further discussion of these considerations.

#### U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
For a discussion summarizing material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication, the Mergers, the exercise of redemption rights and the ownership and disposition by Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of New Freenome Common Stock received in the Business Combination, please see "*Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations*."

#### Anticipated Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination
The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP, whereby PCSC is treated as the acquired company and Freenome is treated as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Freenome issuing stock for the net assets of PCSC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of PCSC will be stated at fair value, which approximates their historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Subsequently, results of operations presented for the periods prior to the Business Combination will be for those of Freenome. For more information, see "*Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information—Anticipated Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination.*"

#### Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company
PCSC is, and New Freenome will be, an "emerging growth company," as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the "***JOBS Act***"). As such, New Freenome will be eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies" including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find New Freenome's securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for New Freenome's securities and the prices of New Freenome's securities may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an "emerging growth company" can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. PCSC has not elected, and New Freenome is not expected to elect, to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, New Freenome, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of New Freenome's financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

New Freenome will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of PCSC's initial public offering, (b) in which New Freenome has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in which New Freenome is deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" under the rules of the SEC, which means, among other things, (1) the market value of its common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the prior June 30th and (2) the date on which New Freenome has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

Additionally, PCSC is a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. New Freenome expects to remain a "smaller reporting company" as defined in the Exchange Act. New Freenome may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after it is no longer an emerging growth company. New Freenome may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies until for so long as either (i) its voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of New Freenome's second fiscal quarter or (ii) New Freenome's annual revenues are less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and its voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of New Freenome's second fiscal quarter.

#### Risk Factors Summary
In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting, shareholders should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled "*Risk Factors*" beginning on page [25](#tRF). In particular, such risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

*Risks Related to Freenome's Business and to New Freenome's Business Following the Business Combination* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may need to raise additional capital to fund our existing operations, develop our platform, commercialize our product or new product candidates or expand our operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our stockholders, restrict our operations and could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our approach to the development of multiple blood-based screening tests though the use of our technology platform is unproven, which makes it difficult to predict the time, cost of development and likelihood of successfully developing and launching additional tests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we are unable to support demand for SimpleScreen CRC, or future products, if approved, including ensuring that we have adequate capacity to meet increased demand, or we are unable to successfully manage our anticipated growth, our business could suffer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may experience challenges attracting and retaining qualified personnel due to competitive labor markets and we may be unable to manage our future growth effectively, all of which could make it difficult to execute our business strategy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we lose the services of our founder, our Chief Executive Officer, or other members of our senior management team, we may not be able to execute our business strategy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cybersecurity incidents such as security breaches, loss of data and other disruptions in relation to our information technology systems, as well as those of our third-party service providers, could compromise sensitive information related to our business, prevent us from accessing it and expose us to substantial liability, which could adversely affect our business and reputation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We, our collaborators and our service providers are subject to a variety of privacy and data security laws, regulations and contractual obligations, which may require us to incur substantial compliance costs, and any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with them could expose us to significant fines and other penalties and otherwise harm our business and operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If our existing facility becomes damaged or inoperable or we are required to vacate our existing facility, our ability pursue our research and development efforts may be jeopardized.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We rely on commercial courier delivery services to transport samples to our laboratory facility in a timely and cost-efficient manner and if these delivery services are disrupted, our business will be harmed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We face intense competition from other companies and may not be able to compete successfully.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The use of Artificial Intelligence presents new risks and challenges to our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Failure of, or defects in, our machine learning algorithms, artificial intelligence, and cloud-based computing infrastructure, including interruptions of service through third-party service providers, or increased regulation in the machine learning or artificial intelligence space, could impair our ability to process our data, develop products, or provide test results, and harm our business and results of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The sizes of the markets for our products, if approved, have not been established with precision, and may be smaller than we estimate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We rely on a limited number of suppliers or, in some cases, sole suppliers, for some of our products and materials and may not be able to find replacements or promptly transition to alternative suppliers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes in funding for, or disruptions caused by global health concerns impacting, the FDA and other government agencies or notified bodies could hinder their ability to hire and retain key leadership and other personnel, or otherwise prevent new medical device products from being developed, authorized or commercialized in a timely manner, which could negatively impact our business.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Clinical development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome, and results of earlier studies may not be predictive of future study results. In addition, regulatory authorities may require more extensive clinical evidence than we anticipate, and the standards for clinical data adequacy can evolve over time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the third parties on which we rely for the conduct of our clinical trials and results do not perform our clinical trial activities in accordance with good clinical practices and related regulatory requirements, we may be unable to obtain regulatory clearance or approval for our product candidates or commercialize our products.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Delays in receipt of, or failure to obtain, required FDA clearances or approvals or approvals required in other jurisdictions for our products in development, or improvements to or expanded indications for our current offerings, could materially delay or prevent us from commercializing or otherwise adversely impact future product commercialization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our products, if cleared or approved, may in the future be subject to product recalls. A recall of our products, either voluntarily or at the direction of the FDA or another governmental authority, or the discovery of serious safety issues with our products, could have a significant adverse impact on us. In addition, recalls—whether required or voluntary—can trigger increased regulatory scrutiny of our quality systems, manufacturing processes, and post-market surveillance activities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Traditional fee-for-service Medicare generally does not cover screening tests absent a statutory benefit, and if our future tests are treated as screening tests, our ability to obtain Medicare coverage and reimbursement may be limited, delayed, or require legislative or guideline changes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we are unable to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our technology, or if the scope of the intellectual property protection we obtain is not sufficiently broad, our competitors may develop and commercialize technology and tests similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize our products may be impaired.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position would be harmed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We cannot ensure that patent rights relating to inventions described and claimed in our pending patent applications will issue or that future patents based on our patent applications will not be challenged and rendered invalid and/or unenforceable.

*Risks Related to the Business Combination and PCSC* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our Sponsor and our initial shareholders have entered into letter agreements with us to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Since the initial shareholders, including PCSC's directors and officers, have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of our shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with Freenome is appropriate as our initial business combination. Such interests include that Sponsor, as well as our officers and directors, will lose their entire investment in us if our business combination is not completed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The process of taking a company public by means of a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company is different from taking a company public through an underwritten offering and may create risks for our unaffiliated investors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The exercise of PCSC's directors' and officers' discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in PCSC's shareholders' best interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the conditions to the Business Combination Agreement are not met, the Business Combination may not occur.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Because PCSC is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, in the event the Business Combination is not completed, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PCSC shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Freenome Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that PCSC's current shareholders have on the management of New Freenome.

#### RISK FACTORS
*PCSC shareholders should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, before they decide whether to vote or instruct their vote to be cast to approve the relevant proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. These risk factors are not exhaustive and investors are encouraged to perform their own investigation with respect to our business, financial condition and prospects.* 

#### Risks Related to Freenome's Business and to New Freenome's Business Following the Business Combination
*Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in the below sections of this proxy statement/prospectus to the "we," "us" or "our" refers to Freenome and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and to New Freenome and its consolidated subsidiaries following the Business Combination. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, and other financial information included elsewhere within this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion includes forward-looking information regarding our business, results of operations and cash flows and contractual obligations and arrangements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Freenome's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."* 

#### Risks Related to Our Business and Financial Condition
***We operate in a rapidly evolving field and have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and predict our future performance.***

We operate in a rapidly evolving field and have a limited operating history. Although we have submitted a premarket approval application for SimpleScreen CRC initial version ("***v1***"), we have no commercial products and our other products are still in development. We have funded our operations to date primarily with the proceeds from the sale of equity securities. We have not yet demonstrated an ability to generate revenue, obtain regulatory approval, manufacture any product on a commercial scale or arrange for a third party to do so on our behalf or conduct sales and marketing activities necessary for successful product commercialization. We will encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by early-stage companies in rapidly evolving fields, and we have not yet demonstrated an ability to successfully overcome such risks and difficulties. If we do not address these risks and difficulties successfully, our business will suffer.

***We have incurred significant net losses in each period since our inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses for the coming years.***

Since our inception, we have incurred significant and negative cash flows from our operations. We have incurred operating losses in each year since our inception. Our net losses were $219.3 million and $274.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.3 billion. Substantially all of our net losses since inception have resulted from our research and development programs, commercialization efforts, investments in our facilities, payments to licensors, and general and administrative costs associated with our operations.

We have invested significant financial resources in research and development activities, including to develop our multiomics technology platform, SimpleScreen CRC, and our other product candidates. The amount of our future net losses will depend, in part, on the level of our future expenditures and our ability to generate additional revenue. Moreover, our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year depending on the timing of regulatory approvals and R&D activities, such that a period-to-period comparison of our results of operations may not be a good or reliable indication of our future performance.

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses as we:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• accelerate the development of our multiomics platform driven by artificial intelligence ("  ***AI***") and machine learning ("  ***ML*** "), which seeks to identify the early biological signals of disease;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expand our commercial and data infrastructure to support future launch of multiple blood-based cancer detection tests;

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• further advance our R&D programs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• seek to identify additional indications;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expand commercial and operational personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintain, expand, enforce, defend and protect our intellectual property portfolio and provide reimbursement of third-party expenses related to our patent portfolio;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• seek regulatory approvals for any future product candidates for which we successfully complete clinical trials; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• meet the requirements and demands of being a public company.

***We may need to raise additional capital to fund our existing operations, develop our platform, commercialize our product or new product candidates or expand our operations.***

We may need to raise additional capital in the future to expand our business, to meet existing obligations, to pursue acquisitions or strategic investments, to take advantage of financing opportunities or for other reasons, including to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fund development and marketing efforts of our product or any other future products we may develop;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• acquire, license or invest in technologies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase our efforts to drive market adoption of our current products and tests, and address competitive developments; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• finance capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses.

Our present and future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the type, number, scope, progress, expansions, results, costs and timing of, discovery, preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product and any product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our current and future product pipeline;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the terms and timing of establishing and maintaining license, collaboration and other similar arrangements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the legal costs of obtaining, maintaining and enforcing our patents and other intellectual property rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our efforts to enhance operational systems and hire additional personnel to satisfy our obligations as a public company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the costs associated with hiring additional personnel and consultants as our development and commercial activities increase;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the costs and timing of establishing or securing sales and marketing capabilities if any current and future product pipeline is approved;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to achieve sufficient market acceptance, coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payers and adequate market share and revenue for any approved products; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• costs associated with any products or technologies that we may in-license or acquire.

Based upon our current operating plans, we believe that the estimated net proceeds from the Business Combination, together with our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term and marketable securities, will be sufficient to fund our operations into 2028. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we expect. If we are unable to raise sufficient funding, we may be unable to continue to operate in the long term.

If we obtain regulatory approval for our product or product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Accordingly, until such time as we can generate significant revenue from sales of our product and any product candidates, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses, royalty financings and other similar arrangements.

However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed would have a

------

negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market current or future product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

#### Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our stockholders, restrict our operations and could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our operations with our existing cash and cash equivalents, the net proceeds from this offering, short-term investments, or any future equity or debt financings and upfront and milestone and royalties payments, if any, received under any of our existing or future licenses or collaborations. In the future, if we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities or issue any equity or convertible debt securities in connection with a collaboration agreement or other contractual arrangement, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a holder of our common stock. For example, we have issued convertible notes to Exact Sciences and Roche Holdings, Inc. with aggregate principal amounts of $50 million and $75 million, respectively, as described in "*Information about Freenome—Key Collaborations*." Going forward, the possibility of additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Debt financing, if available, may result in increased fixed payment obligations and involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, declaring dividends or acquiring, selling or licensing intellectual property rights or assets, which could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business.

If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties in the future, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our intellectual property, technologies, future revenue streams or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. We could also be required to seek funds through arrangements with collaborators or others at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable. Any of these occurrences may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and prospects.

We maintain the majority of our cash and cash equivalents in accounts with major U.S. and multinational financial institutions, and our deposits at certain of these institutions exceed insured limits. Market conditions and changes in financial regulations and policies can impact the viability of these institutions. In the event of failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we would be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all. Any inability to access or delay in accessing these funds could adversely affect our business and financial position. In addition, changes in regulations governing financial institutions are beyond our control and difficult to predict; consequently, the impact of such changes on our business and results of operations is difficult to predict and may have an adverse effect on us.

***If we cannot maintain our current collaborations or partnerships, including with Exact Sciences and Roche, and enter into new collaborations or partnerships in a timely manner and on acceptable terms, our efforts to develop and commercialize our products could be delayed or adversely affected.***

We rely, and expect to continue to rely, on collaborative partners to help us commercialize our product and enhance our research and development efforts. For example, we currently have agreements with Exact Sciences to commercialize SimpleScreen CRC in the U.S. and with Roche to commercialize "kitted" tests outside of the U.S. These partnerships help us to reach additional markets in the U.S. and globally. Our reliance on these or other third parties reduces our control over sales of SimpleScreen products and product development activities.

If any of our collaborators or partners were to breach or terminate their agreements with us or otherwise fail to conduct the contracted activities successfully and in a timely manner, the sale of our product or research and development activities of certain of our product candidates could be delayed or terminated. For example, in December 2025 Abbott Laboratories ("***Abbott***") announced that it would acquire Exact Sciences. Under the terms of our collaboration agreement with Exact Sciences, the agreement will continue to be binding on Abbott, however, if Abbott fails to prioritize its obligations under the agreement, our expected timelines could be delayed and our business could be harmed. Further, our collaborators or partners may fail to properly protect our intellectual property rights, may infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, may misappropriate our trade secrets, or may use our proprietary information or others' in such a way as to expose us to litigation and potential liability. Disagreements or disputes with our collaborators or partners, including disagreements over proprietary rights, funding, or contract interpretation, might cause delays or termination of the research, development or commercialization of our products, might lead to additional

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
responsibilities for us with respect to these products or activities or might result in litigation or arbitration, any of which would divert management attention and resources and be time-consuming and expensive. We may not be able to renew our current agreements with collaborators or partners or negotiate additional collaboration or partnership agreements on acceptable terms, if at all, and these collaborations and partnerships may not be successful. We also compete with some of our collaborative partners in other areas, for example, Exact Sciences with respect to MCED products, and this could negatively impact our relationships with partners and therefore the success of our collaborations.

From time to time, we expect to engage in discussions with potential development and/or commercial collaborators that may or may not lead to collaborations. However, we cannot guarantee that any discussions will result in development or commercial collaborations. Further, once news of discussions regarding possible collaborations are known in the general public, regardless of whether the news is accurate, failure to announce a collaboration agreement, or the entity's announcement of a collaboration with an entity other than us, could result in adverse speculation about us, our products, or our technology, resulting in harm to our reputation and our business. In addition, establishing collaborations is difficult, time-consuming and may require our significant financial investment. Potential collaborators may elect not to work with us based on their assessment of our financial, regulatory, or intellectual property position. Even if we establish new collaborations, they may not result in the successful development or commercialization of our products or technology.

***Our approach to the development of multiple blood-based screening tests through the use of our technology platform is unproven, which makes it difficult to predict the time, cost of development and likelihood of successfully developing and launching additional tests.***

Other than SimpleScreen CRC v1, our blood-based screening tests are still in development and therefore our strategy of using the same technology underlying our proprietary platform for new screening tests remains unproven. We have incurred significant expenses to develop and prepare for launching SimpleScreen CRC v1, if approved, and expect to incur significant expenses to develop a pipeline for future product candidates, but such efforts may not be successful. Product development is expensive, may take years to complete, and can have uncertain outcomes. Failure can occur at any stage of development.

Candidate products that may initially show promise may fail to achieve the desired results in larger clinical studies or may not achieve acceptable levels of clinical accuracy. Results from early studies or trials are not necessarily predictive of future clinical study or trial results, and preliminary data from an early study, such as that from our second version of SimpleScreen CRC ("***v2***") that was presented at ASCO 2026, are not necessarily indicative of final results. Even if the FDA and other regulatory authorities clear or approve SimpleScreen CRCv1or any new product that we may develop, we would need to commit substantial resources to commercialize, sell, and market it before it could be profitable, and the product or service may never be commercially viable.

Our business strategy is focused on multi-cancer early detection, which is a nascent market with no tests cleared or approved by the FDA yet. We also have programs for which we are actively developing tests for a single cancer indication, such as colorectal and lung. If we determine that any of our current or future product candidates are unlikely to succeed, we may abandon them without any return on our investment.

Further, the development of our technology is an ongoing process. Any development problems we encounter either with our technology, including our proprietary AI/ML multiomics platform, for additional screening tests may prevent us from commercializing any current or future product candidates on a timely or profitable basis, if at all. Even if we are able to successfully launch our first test, we will have limited commercial experience, and the launch of any additional tests may be delayed, be less successful than we anticipate, or fail for any of the reasons that large commercial launches are ultimately unsuccessful. For example, our screening tests, produced at large scale, might not perform to standards that we have experienced to date. We may not obtain or maintain regulatory approval, authorization, certification or clearance for some of our diagnostic tests in research and development, which may have a significant impact on our commercialization goals.

Product launches of the type and scope that we are targeting are subject to many uncertainties, and many that are undertaken are unsuccessful. We cannot be certain that we will be able to achieve our business objectives, and if our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties are incorrect or change, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our results of operations could differ materially from our expectations and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

***If we are unable to support demand for SimpleScreen CRC, or future products, if approved, including ensuring that we have adequate capacity to meet increased demand, or we are unable to successfully manage our anticipated growth, our business could suffer.***

We have limited experience operating a commercial scale laboratory, and our lack of prior experience may result in unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other known and unknown factors in connection with meeting potentially increased demand for SimpleScreen CRC or future products, if approved. We will need to transition to a company capable of supporting commercial activities, including scaling our operations such as increased capacity for sample intakes, customer service, and billing, and we may not be successful in such a transition.

In August 2025, we entered into an agreement with Exact Sciences to commercialize SimpleScreen CRC in the U.S. and we expect that successful commercialization will greatly increase demand for our product. As we commercialize and scale manufacturing of our product, we may need to incorporate new equipment, implement new technology systems and laboratory processes, and hire new personnel with different qualifications. We will also need to purchase additional equipment, some of which can take several months or more to procure, setup and validate, and increase our software and computing capacity to meet increased demand. Our process is complex and requires multiple work-stations, processing steps and automation, each of which can break down and cause delays in providing timely results. In addition, as we plan to launch multiple tests, these will add additional complexity and may cause delays or prevent us from meeting our timing goals. There is no assurance that any of these increases in scale, expansion of personnel, equipment, software and computing capacities or process enhancements will be successfully implemented, if at all, or that we will have adequate space in our laboratory facility or be able to secure additional facility space to accommodate such required expansion. Failure to manage this growth or transition could result in turnaround time delays, higher product costs, declining product quality, deteriorating customer service and slower responses to competitive challenges. A failure in any one of these areas could make it difficult for us to meet market expectations for our products and could damage our reputation and the prospects for our business.

The value of our product, and any future products will depend, in part, on our ability to perform tests and return results to providers on a timely basis and at an appropriate quality standard, and on our reputation for such timeliness and quality. Failure to implement necessary procedures, to transition to new equipment or processes, or to hire the appropriate, qualified personnel could result in inaccurate or incorrect tests and results, higher costs of processing, longer turnaround times or an inability to meet market demand. Our tests also require the use of special blood tubes, and physicians may not submit samples properly, which may also result in delays and re-processing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to perform tests on a timely basis at a level consistent with demand, that we will be able to maintain the quality of our test results as we scale our commercial operations, or that we will be successful in responding to the growing complexity of our laboratory operations, including the related data analysis requirements.

***We may experience challenges attracting and retaining qualified personnel due to competitive labor markets and we may be unable to manage our future growth effectively, all of which could make it difficult to execute our business strategy.***

Since our inception, we have experienced rapid growth and anticipate further growth in our business operations. Our future growth could create strain on our organizational, administrative and operational infrastructure, including laboratory operations, quality control, customer service and sales organization management. We expect to continue to increase headcount and to hire more specialized personnel as we grow our business. We will need to continue to hire, train and manage additional qualified scientists, laboratory personnel, client and account services personnel, as well as sales and marketing staff, and improve and maintain our technology to properly manage our growth.

The competition for qualified personnel in the biotechnology industry is intense, and our future success depends upon our ability to attract, retain, and motivate highly skilled scientific, technical and managerial employees. We face competition for personnel from other companies, universities, public and private research institutions, and other organizations. In this competitive environment, our business could be adversely impacted by increases in labor costs triggered by regulatory actions regarding wages, scheduling and benefits, and the need to attract and retain high quality employees with the requisite skill sets.

In addition, we expect to need additional managerial, operational, marketing, sales, financial and other personnel as we grow our operations following the potential launch of SimpleScreen CRC, if approved. Our ability to manage our

------

growth properly will also require us to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls, as well as our reporting systems and procedures. The time and resources required to implement these new systems and procedures is uncertain and could be demanding, and failure to complete this in a timely and efficient manner could adversely affect our operations.

***If we lose the services of our founder, our Chief Executive Officer, or other members of our senior management team, we may not be able to execute our business strategy.***

We are highly dependent on the research and development, clinical, financial, operational and other business expertise of our executive officers, in particular, our founder and Chief Product Officer, Riley Ennis, and our Chief Executive Officer, Aaron Elliott, as well as the other principal members of our management, scientific and clinical teams. Although we have entered into or intend to enter into employment offer letters with our executive officers, each of them may terminate their employment with us at any time. We do not maintain "key person" insurance for any of our executives or other employees. The loss of our founder and our Chief Executive Officer, or one or more other members of our senior management team could have an adverse effect on our business.

***If our existing facility becomes damaged or inoperable or we are required to vacate our existing facility, our ability pursue our research and development efforts may be jeopardized.***

We currently have one facility located in Brisbane, California. Our facility and equipment could be harmed or rendered inoperable by natural or man-made disasters, including war, fire, earthquake, power loss, communications failure or terrorism, which may render it difficult or impossible for our laboratory operations. The inability to perform our tests or to reduce the backlog that could develop if our facility is inoperable, for even a short period of time, may result in the loss of customers or harm to our reputation, and we may be unable to regain those customers or repair our reputation. Furthermore, our facility and the equipment we use to perform our research and development work could be unavailable or costly and time-consuming to repair or replace. It would be difficult, time-consuming and expensive to rebuild our facility, to locate and qualify a new facility or enable a third party to practice our proprietary technology, particularly in light of licensure and accreditation requirements. Even if we are able to find a third party with such qualifications to perform our tests, the parties may be unable to agree on commercially reasonable terms.

We carry insurance for damage to our property and disruption of our business, but this insurance may not cover all of the risks associated with damage or disruption to our facility and business, may not provide coverage in amounts sufficient to cover our potential losses and may not continue to be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

***We rely on commercial courier delivery services to transport samples to our laboratory facility in a timely and cost-efficient manner and if these delivery services are disrupted, our business will be harmed.***

Our business depends on our ability to deliver test results quickly and reliably to our customers. Blood samples need to be received within seven days for analysis at our facility. Disruptions in delivery services to transport samples to that facility, whether due to labor disruptions, bad weather, natural disaster, terrorist acts or threats or for other reasons could adversely affect specimen integrity and our ability to process samples in a timely manner, delay our provision of test results to our customers, and ultimately our reputation and our business. In addition, if we are unable to continue to obtain expedited delivery services to transport samples to us on commercially reasonable terms, our operating results may be adversely affected.

#### We face intense competition from other companies and may not be able to compete successfully.
We operate in a rapidly evolving and highly competitive industry. There are a number of private and public companies that offer products, or have announced that they are developing products that compete with ours.

Some of our current and potential competitors may have significant competitive advantages over us, which may make them more attractive to hospitals, clinics, group purchasing organizations, and physicians. See "*Information about Freenome— Competition*" for additional information regarding our competitors and the effects of competition on our business.

We may also be unable to compete effectively against our competitors because their products and services are superior or because they are more effective or can more quickly develop or commercialize competing products and services. For example, large and long-tenured healthcare, life sciences, or technology companies may initiate research and development of multi-cancer early detection and bring significant resources and disruption to the cancer detection space. Furthermore, even if we do develop new marketable products or services, our current and future competitors may

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
develop products and services that are more clinically or commercially attractive than ours, and they may bring those products and services to market earlier or more effectively than us. If we are unable to compete successfully against current or future competitors, we may be unable to increase market acceptance for, and sales of, our tests, which could prevent us from increasing or sustaining our revenues or achieving sustained profitability and could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

***Cybersecurity incidents such as security breaches, loss of data and other disruptions in relation to our information technology systems, as well as those of our third-party service providers, could compromise sensitive information related to our business, prevent us from accessing it and expose us to substantial liability, which could adversely affect our business and reputation.***

We depend on information technology systems for significant elements of our operations. Our information technology systems support a variety of functions, including laboratory operations, test validation, sample tracking, quality control, research and development activities, scientific and medical curation and general administrative activities. Our information technology systems store a wide variety of information critical to our business, including research and development information, patient data, commercial information and business and financial information. We face a number of risks related to protecting this critical information, including loss of access, inappropriate use or disclosure, unauthorized access, inappropriate modification and our being unable to adequately monitor, audit or modify our controls over such critical information. This risk extends to the third-party vendors and subcontractors we use to manage this sensitive data or otherwise process it on our behalf.

Cybersecurity incidents such as security breaches, computer viruses, malware and other incidents could cause misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential data, materials or information, including those concerning our customers and employees. Increasingly complex methods have been used in cyberattacks, including ransomware, phishing, structured query language injections, social engineering schemes, insider threats, Artificial Intelligence ("***AI***") tool supported attacks, and distributed denial-of-service attacks conducted by actors including computer attackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists. A cyberattack can also be in the form of unauthorized access or a blocking of authorized access. The risk of a cybersecurity incident has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks has increased. As a result of the continued hybrid working environment, we and our third party service providers and partners may face increased cybersecurity risks due to our reliance on internet technology and the number of our employees who are working remotely, which may create additional opportunities for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities. Furthermore, because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to, or to sabotage, systems change frequently and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures. We may experience cybersecurity incidents that may remain undetected for an extended period. Even if identified, we may be unable to adequately investigate or remediate cybersecurity incidents due to attackers increasingly using tools and techniques that are designed to circumvent controls, to avoid detection, and to remove or obfuscate forensic evidence. We can provide no assurance that we or our vendors will be able to detect, prevent or contain the effects of such attacks or other information security risks or threats in the future.

The costs of attempting to protect against the foregoing risks and the costs of responding to a cybersecurity incident are significant. Large scale cybersecurity incidents at other entities increase the challenge we and our vendors face in maintaining the security of our information technology systems and of our customers' sensitive information. Following a cybersecurity incident, our and/or our vendors' remediation efforts may not be successful, and a cybersecurity incident could result in interruptions, delays or cessation of service, and loss of existing or potential customers. In addition, cybersecurity incidents of our and/or our vendors' security measures and the unauthorized dissemination of sensitive personal information or proprietary information or confidential information about us, our customers or other third-parties, could expose our customers' private information and our customers to the risk of financial or medical identity theft, or expose us or other third parties to a risk of loss or misuse of this information, and result in investigations, regulatory enforcement actions, material fines and penalties, loss of customers, litigation or other actions which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, reputation, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if we fail to adhere to our privacy policy and other published statements or applicable laws concerning our processing, use, transmission and disclosure of protected information such as protected health information (''***PHI***"), or if our statements or practices are found to be deceptive or misrepresentative, we could face regulatory actions, fines and other liability.

------

It could be difficult to predict the ultimate resolution of any such cybersecurity incidents or to estimate the amounts or ranges of potential loss, if any, that could result therefrom. If we cannot successfully resolve a cybersecurity incident, it could materially impact our ability to operate our business as well as our results of operations and financial position.

We maintain cyber liability insurance; however, this insurance may not be sufficient to cover the financial, legal, business or reputational losses that may result from an interruption or breach of our systems.

***We, our collaborators and our service providers are subject to a variety of privacy and data security laws, regulations and contractual obligations, which may require us to incur substantial compliance costs, and any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with them could expose us to significant fines and other penalties and otherwise harm our business and operations.***

The legislative and regulatory framework for the collection, use, safeguarding, sharing, transfer and other processing of personal information worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Globally, several jurisdictions, including those in which we operate or collect personal information, have established their own data security and privacy frameworks with which we must comply. In the U.S., numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including federal health information privacy laws, state information security and data breach notification laws, state health information privacy laws, and federal and state consumer protection laws (e.g., Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act), that govern the collection, use, disclosure and protection of health-related and other personal information, could apply to our operations or the operations of our collaborators and service providers. In particular, regulations promulgated pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("***HIPAA***") establish privacy and security standards that limit the use and disclosure of individually identifiable health information, or protected health information, and impose requirements regarding the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information, including mandatory contractual terms, for covered entities, or certain healthcare providers, health plans and healthcare clearinghouses, and their business associates that provide services to the covered entity that involve individually identifiable health information and their subcontractors that use, disclose or otherwise process individually identifiable health information. While pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are typically not directly regulated by HIPAA, our business may be indirectly impacted by HIPAA in our interactions with providers, payers, and others that have HIPAA compliance obligations. If we are unable to properly protect the privacy and security of protected health information, we could be found to have violated these privacy and security laws and/or breached certain contracts. Further, if we fail to comply with applicable privacy laws, including applicable HIPAA privacy and security standards, we could face significant civil and criminal penalties. U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, or HHS, enforcement activity can result in financial liability and reputational harm, and responses to such enforcement activity can consume significant internal resources.

At the state level, numerous states have enacted comprehensive data privacy and security laws, rules and regulations. For example, California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act ("***CCPA***"), which creates individual privacy rights for California consumers and increases the privacy and security obligations of entities handling certain personal data. The CCPA requires covered companies to provide certain disclosures to consumers about its data collection, use and sharing practices, and to provide affected California residents with ways to opt-out of certain sales or transfers of personal information. Following California's lead, more than a dozen additional states, including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, New Jersey, New Hampshire and others, have adopted comprehensive privacy laws. Many of these laws incorporate similar concepts to those in the CCPA, however there are also several key differences in the scope, application, and enforcement that will change the operational practices of regulated businesses. These laws will, among other things, impact how regulated businesses collect and process sensitive personal data, conduct data protection assessments, transfer personal data to affiliates, and respond to consumer rights requests. Other states have focused on more narrow aspects of privacy. In the state of Washington, for example, the My Health My Data Act, which has a private right of action that further increases the relevant compliance risk, requires regulated entities to obtain consent to collect health-related information and grants consumers certain rights, including to request deletion of their information. Connecticut and Nevada have also passed similar laws regulating consumer health data. Other states have proposed and/or passed legislation that regulates the privacy and/or security of certain specific types of information. For example, a small number of states have passed laws that regulate biometric data specifically. Although many of the existing state privacy laws exempt clinical trial information and health information governed by HIPAA, future privacy and data protection laws may be broader in scope. The existence of comprehensive privacy laws in different states in the country laws increases the complexity of our compliance requirements and potential legal risk. Our compliance efforts

------

may require additional investment of resources, impact strategies and the availability of previously useful data and could result in increased compliance costs. Such laws may also impact our business activities, including our identification of research subjects, relationships with business partners and ultimately the marketing and distribution of our products.

If we conduct clinical trials in the European Economic Area (the "***EEA***") and/or the United Kingdom (the "***U.K.***") we will be subject to additional, more stringent privacy laws in other jurisdictions, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (the "***EU GDPR***") as well as other national data protection legislation in force in relevant European Union (the "***EU***") member states. The EU GDPR imposes strict regulations and establishes a series of requirements regarding the collection, transfer, storage and processing of personal data. Following the U.K.'s withdrawal from the EU on January 31, 2020 and the end of the transitional arrangements agreed between the U.K. and EU as of January 1, 2021, the EU GDPR has been incorporated into U.K. domestic law by virtue of section 3 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and amended by the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, (the "***U.K. GDPR***") and, together with the EU GDPR (the "***GDPR***"). The GDPR is wide-ranging in scope and imposes numerous requirements on companies that process personal data, including strict requirements relating to processing of sensitive data (such as health data), ensuring there is a legal basis or condition to justify the processing of personal data, where required strict requirements relating to obtaining consent of individuals, disclosures about how personal information is to be used, limitations on retention of information, implementing safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of personal data, where required providing notification of data breaches, maintaining records of processing activities, documenting data protection impact assessments where there is high risk processing and taking certain measures when engaging third-party processors.

The GDPR also imposes strict rules on the transfer of personal data to countries outside the EEA or the U.K., including the U.S. (see below), and permits data protection authorities to impose large penalties for violations of the GDPR, including potential fines of up to €20 million (£17.5 million GBP) or 4% of annual global revenues, whichever is greater. The GDPR also confers a private right of action on data subjects and consumer associations to lodge complaints with supervisory authorities, seek judicial remedies, and obtain compensation for damages resulting from violations of the GDPR. Non-compliance could also result in the imposition of orders to stop data processing activities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

When subject to GDPR, we will be required to put in place mechanisms to ensure compliance, including as implemented by national laws of EU Member States which may partially deviate from the EU GDPR and impose different and more restrictive obligations from country to country. Compliance with the GDPR will be a rigorous and time-intensive process that may increase our cost of doing business or require us to change our business practices, and despite those efforts, there is a risk that we may be subject to fines and penalties, litigation, and reputational harm in connection with our European and U.K. activities.

The U.K. GDPR and the U.K. Data Protection Act 2018 set out the U.K.'s data protection regime, which is independent from but, currently, aligned to the EU's data protection regime. The European Commission (the "***EC***") has adopted an adequacy decision in respect of transfers of personal data to the U.K. for a four-year period (until June 27, 2025 which has been extended until December 2025). Similarly, the U.K. has determined that it considers all of the EEA to be adequate for the purposes of data protection. This ensures that data flows between the U.K. and the EEA remain unaffected. The U.K. Government has enacted the Data Use and Access Act 2025 which has the effect of further altering the similarities between the U.K. and EU data protection regime.

In addition, we will be required to implement adequate safeguards to enable the transfer of personal data outside of the EEA or the U.K., in particular to the U.S., in compliance with the GDPR. In some cases, we may rely upon the EC's approved standard contractual clauses to legitimize transfers of personal data out of the EEA from controllers or processors established outside the EEA (and not subject to the GDPR). The U.K. is not subject to the EC's standard contractual clauses but has published its own transfer mechanism, the International Data Transfer Addendum/Agreement, which enables transfers from the U.K. Changes with respect to any of these matters may lead to additional costs and increase our overall risk exposure. The EU and U.S. have adopted its adequacy decision for the EU U.S. Data Privacy Framework (the "***Framework***") which entered into force on July 11, 2023. This Framework provides that the protection of personal data transferred between the EU and certified companies in the U.S. is comparable to that offered in the EU. Moreover, the U.K. Government adopted the Data Protection (Adequacy) Regulations 2023, also referred to as the "U.K.-U.S. Data Bridge," which, since October 12, 2023 allows companies to

------

transfer personal data from the U.K. to the U.S. on the basis of the Framework. This provides a further avenue to ensuring transfers to the U.S. are carried out in line with GDPR. However, the long-term validity of the Framework remains uncertain and it has already been challenged before European courts.

All of these evolving compliance and operational requirements impose significant costs, such as costs related to organizational changes, implementing additional protection technologies, training employees and engaging consultants and legal advisors, which are likely to increase over time. In addition, such requirements may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies, utilize management's time and/or divert resources from other initiatives and projects. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with any applicable federal, state or foreign laws and regulations relating to data privacy and security could result in damage to our reputation, as well as proceedings or litigation by governmental agencies or other third parties, including class action privacy litigation in certain jurisdictions, which would subject us to significant fines, sanctions, awards, injunctions, penalties or judgments. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Additionally, the NIS 2 Directive ("***NIS 2***") is replacing the cybersecurity legal framework under the current NIS framework in the EU, aiming to ensure a high level of cybersecurity in the region. NIS 2 brings new medium and large organizations providing services in the EU within scope of the legal framework. It extends to additional sectors and expands the list of in-scope healthcare organizations, including to certain providers engaged in research and development of medicinal products. The new regime imposes direct obligations on management in respect of an in-scope organization's compliance with NIS 2, requires covered organizations to put in place certain cyber risk management measures, strengthens incident reporting requirements and provides supervisory authorities with a greater oversight. The majority of obligations will come into force when national legislation implementing NIS 2 becomes effective in the relevant EU Member State. EU Member States had until October 17, 2024 to transpose NIS 2 into national legislation, although many countries have still not completed the transposition. As such, the cybersecurity regulatory landscape in the EU is currently fragmented and uncertain. To the extent we are subject to NIS 2, we will require additional investment of our resources in compliance programs. Under NIS 2 companies may be subject to administrative fines of up to the higher amount of €10 million or 2% of worldwide turnover.

#### Risks related to Product Development and Commercialization
***Failure of, or defects in, our machine learning algorithms, artificial intelligence, and cloud-based computing infrastructure, including interruptions of service through third-party service providers, or increased regulation in the machine learning or artificial intelligence space, could impair our ability to process our data, develop products, or provide test results, and harm our business and results of operations.***

AI is increasingly being used across the global business landscape, including in the life sciences and healthcare industries. AI and machine learning tools drive our proprietary technology and we expect our use of AI to increase as the technology rapidly evolves and improves. However, AI innovation presents risks and challenges that could impact our business. AI algorithms may be flawed. Datasets may be insufficient or contain biased information. Ineffective AI development and deployment practices by us or our commercial partners could result in violations of our confidentiality and privacy obligations or applicable laws and regulations, jeopardize our intellectual property rights, cause or contribute to unlawful discrimination, result in the misuse of personally identifiable information, including PHI, or give rise to significant cyber security risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We may also face increased competition from other companies that are employing AI and related technologies, some of whom may develop more effective methods than we and any of our commercial partners have, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition. In addition, uncertainties regarding developing legal and regulatory requirements and standards may require significant resources to modify and maintain business practices to comply with U.S. and foreign laws concerning the use of AI and related technologies, the nature of which cannot be determined at this time.

We depend on technology systems for significant elements of our business operations. These technology systems support a variety of functions, including manufacturing operations, laboratory operations, data analysis, quality control, partner service and support, billing, research and development activities, and scientific and general administrative activities. The design, development, maintenance, and operation of our technology over time is expensive and complex,

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
and may involve unforeseen difficulties including performance problems, undetected defects, or errors. Overcoming technical obstacles and correcting defects or errors could prove to be impossible or impracticable, and the costs incurred may be substantial and adversely affect our results of operations.

Additionally, regulation in the machine learning and artificial intelligence space is constantly evolving and limitations placed on the use of data, including personal information, health data, or genetic/genomic data in such systems may make it difficult for us to continue using our machine learning algorithms. For example, the EU's Artificial Intelligence Act (the "***AI Act***")—the world's first comprehensive AI law — is anticipated to enter into force in 2024 and, with some exceptions, become effective 24 months thereafter. This legislation imposes significant obligations on providers and deployers of high risk artificial intelligence systems, and encourages providers and deployers of artificial intelligence systems to account for EU ethical principles in their development and use of these systems. If we deploy AI systems that are governed by the AI Act, we may be required to adopt higher standards of data quality, transparency, and human oversight, and adhere to specific and potentially burdensome and costly ethical, accountability, and administrative requirements. If our technology does not function reliably, fails to meet expectations in terms of performance, or cannot be fully utilized due to increasing regulation, including regulation by the FDA or comparable regulatory authorities of artificial intelligence or medical device software, we may be unable to provide, or our customers may stop using, our products. We expect that increased investment will be required in the future to continuously improve our use of AI technologies. As with many technological innovations, there are significant risks involved in developing, maintaining and deploying these technologies and there can be no assurance that the usage of or our investments in such technologies will always enhance our products or services or be beneficial to our business, including our efficiency or profitability.

Our vendors may in turn incorporate AI tools into their own offerings, and the providers of these AI tools may not meet existing or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards, including with respect to privacy and data security. Further, bad actors around the world use increasingly sophisticated methods, including the use of AI, to engage in illegal activities involving the theft and misuse of personal information, confidential information and intellectual property. Any of these effects could damage our reputation, result in the loss of valuable property and information, cause us to breach applicable laws and regulations, and adversely impact our business.

***Our products, if cleared or approved, may in the future be subject to product recalls. A recall of our products, either voluntarily or at the direction of the FDA or another governmental authority, or the discovery of serious safety issues with our products, could have a significant adverse impact on us. In addition, recalls—whether required or voluntary—can trigger increased regulatory scrutiny of our quality systems, manufacturing processes, and post-market surveillance activities.***

The FDA has the authority to require the recall of commercialized devices that are subject to FDA regulation in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture. The authority to require a recall must be based on an FDA finding that there is reasonable probability that the device would cause serious, adverse health consequences or death. We may also, on our own initiative, recall a product. The FDA requires that certain classifications of recalls be reported to the FDA within ten working days after the recall is initiated. In the case of our FDA-approved tests, a government-mandated or voluntary recall by us or one of our distributors could occur as a result of an unacceptable risk to health, component failures, malfunctions, manufacturing errors, design or labeling defects or other deficiencies and issues. Recalls of any of our products could impair our ability to produce our products in a cost-effective and timely manner, which would have an adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations and financial condition. Recall-related corrective actions may also require us to suspend manufacturing operations, quarantine inventory, retrain personnel, or implement significant modifications to our quality system, any of which could disrupt supply and increase costs. We may be subject to liability claims, may be required to bear costs or may take other actions that may have a negative impact on our future sales and our ability to generate profits. Companies are required to maintain certain records of recalls, even if they are not reportable to the FDA. We may initiate voluntary recalls involving our products in the future that we determine do not require notification to the FDA. If the FDA disagrees with our determinations, the FDA could require us to report those actions and take enforcement actions for failing to report the recalls when they were conducted. Similar requirements apply in foreign jurisdictions. A future recall announcement could harm our reputation with customers and negatively affect our sales and financial condition.

If we initiate a correction or removal for one of our tests, issue a safety alert or undertake a field action or recall to reduce a risk to health imposed by the test, this could lead to increased scrutiny by the FDA other foreign regulatory

------

authorities and our customers regarding the quality and safety of our tests and to negative publicity, including FDA alerts, press releases or administrative or judicial actions. Furthermore, circulation of any such negative publicity could harm our reputation, be used by competitors against us in competitive situations and cause customers to delay purchase decisions or cancel orders.

#### The sizes of the markets for our products, if approved, have not been established with precision, and may be smaller than we estimate.
Our estimates of the annual total addressable markets for our product and product candidates are based on a number of internal and third-party estimates, including, without limitation, the size of screening and patient populations, adoption rates and screening intervals, and the assumed prices at which we can sell tests for markets that have not been established. While we believe our assumptions and the data underlying our estimates are reasonable, these assumptions and estimates may not be correct and the conditions supporting our assumptions or estimates may change at any time, thereby reducing the predictive accuracy of these underlying factors. As a result, our estimates of the annual total addressable market for our current or future products may prove to be incorrect. If the actual number of patients who would benefit from our products, the price at which we can sell our products, or the annual total addressable market for our products is smaller than we have estimated, it may impair our sales growth and have an adverse impact on our business.

***We rely on a limited number of suppliers or, in some cases, sole suppliers, for some of our products and materials and may not be able to find replacements or promptly transition to alternative suppliers.***

We rely on a limited number of suppliers or, in some cases, sole suppliers, for certain sequencers, reagents, blood tubes and other equipment, instruments and materials that we use in our laboratory operations. For example, Illumina, Inc. is our sole supplier of certain sequencers and related reagents and New England Biolabs, Inc. is our sole supplier of reagents for DNA analysis. In addition, certain of the laboratory equipment used in our research and development processes is customized or otherwise not readily replaceable with off-the-shelf alternatives. As a result, we may experience longer lead times to procure, repair or replace such equipment, including due to supply chain constraints, vendor capacity limitations, or the need for specialized components or technical expertise. An interruption in our laboratory operations could occur if we encounter delays or difficulties in securing these laboratory equipment, instruments or materials, and if we cannot then obtain an acceptable substitute. Any such interruption could significantly and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation. These limited or sole suppliers could engage in diverse types of businesses, including selling products or providing services in competition with us, and there can be no assurance that we can continue to receive required equipment, instruments or materials from them.

We believe that there are only a limited number of other manufacturers that are capable of supplying and servicing the equipment and materials necessary for our laboratory operations, including sequencers and various associated reagents, and potentially replacing our current suppliers. The use of equipment or materials furnished by these replacement suppliers would require us to alter our laboratory operations. Transitioning to a new supplier would be time-consuming and expensive, may result in interruptions in our laboratory operations, could affect the performance specifications of our laboratory operations or could require that we revalidate our tests. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure alternative equipment, reagents and other materials, bring such equipment, reagents and materials online, and revalidate our tests without experiencing interruptions in our workflow. If we should encounter delays or difficulties in securing, reconfiguring or integrating the equipment and reagents we require for our products or in revalidating our products, our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation could be materially and adversely affected.

#### Risks related to Government Regulation
***The regulatory clearance, approval, or certification processes of the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities or notified bodies are lengthy, time-consuming, and unpredictable. If we are ultimately unable to obtain any necessary or desirable regulatory approvals, clearances, or certifications, or if such approvals, clearances, or certifications are significantly delayed, our business will be substantially harmed.***

We have not yet obtained FDA clearance or approval for any of our products or products in development. We may also seek FDA approval or clearance for other products in the future. The time required and ability to obtain clearance or approval by the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities is unpredictable, typically takes several years following the commencement of clinical studies, and depends upon numerous factors, including the type, complexity,

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
and novelty of our products and future products. In addition, policies, laws, regulations, or the type and amount of clinical data necessary to gain clearance or approval may change during the course of a test's clinical development and may vary among jurisdictions, which may cause delays in the clearance or approval of, or the decision not to approve, an application. Regulatory authorities have substantial discretion in the premarket review process and may refuse to accept any application, decide that all or part of our data are unusable or insufficient for clearance or approval, require additional clinical or other data, including analytical validation data, determine that our manufacturing and quality systems are insufficient or in violation of applicable requirements, or determine that our clinical research program is insufficient or in violation of applicable good clinical practices ("***GCPs***") or other requirements related to research compliance, human subject protections, or data integrity. Even if we believe our data are sufficient to support marketing authorization, regulatory authorities may disagree, or may require the generation and submission of additional data or analyses, which could significantly delay or preclude marketing authorization.

Before a new medical device can be marketed in the U.S., a company must first submit an application for and receive 510(k) clearance pursuant to a premarket notification submitted under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("***FDCA***"), approval of a premarket approval application ("***PMA***") submission with the FDA, or grant of a de novo classification request from the FDA, unless an exemption applies. In the process of obtaining PMA approval, the FDA must determine that a proposed device is safe and effective for its intended use based, in part, on extensive data, including, but not limited to, technical, analytical validation, preclinical, clinical trial, manufacturing, and labeling data. The PMA process is typically required for devices that are deemed to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices.

The PMA approval process can be expensive, lengthy and uncertain. The process of obtaining a PMA is costly and uncertain and generally takes from one to three years, or even longer, from the time the application is submitted to the FDA, including if an Advisory Committee is needed to evaluate a novel technology, which could occur for the review of a PMA for our SimpleScreen CRC test. In addition, a PMA generally requires the performance of one or more clinical trials. Despite the time, effort and cost, a device may not obtain marketing authorization by the FDA. Any delay or failure to obtain necessary regulatory marketing authorizations could harm our business. Furthermore, even if we are granted such marketing authorizations, they may include significant limitations on the indicated uses for the test, which may limit the potential commercial market for the test.

In the U.S., any modification to a product for which we receive marketing authorization may require us to submit a PMA and obtain FDA approval prior to implementing the change. For example, certain modifications to a PMA-approved device may require approval of a new PMA or a PMA supplement, or alternatively a notification or other submission to the FDA. If we obtain PMA approvals from the FDA, we may make modifications or add additional features in the future that we believe do not require approval of a PMA application or supplement or other regulatory submission. If the FDA disagrees with our determination and requires us to seek new marketing authorizations for the modifications for which we have concluded that new marketing authorizations are unnecessary, we may be required to cease marketing and/or to recall the modified product until we obtain such marketing authorization, and we may be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties. If the FDA requires us to go through a lengthier, more rigorous examination for future products or modifications to existing products than we had expected, product introductions or modifications could be delayed or canceled, which could adversely affect our business.

In addition, we are or may become subject to new laws, regulations, and industry standards concerning medical devices proposed and enacted in various foreign jurisdictions. The EU regulatory landscape concerning in vitro devices (''***IVDs***") has evolved and continues to undergo legislative change. On May 26, 2022, the EU Regulation 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (the "***EU IVDR***") entered into force, which repealed and replaced the EU Directive 98/79/EC on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (the "***EU IVDD***"). Subject to the transitional provisions (i.e., a tiered system extending the grace period for many devices, depending on their risk classification, before they have to be fully compliant with the EU IVDR) and in order to sell our products in the EU Member States, our products must comply with the general safety and performance requirements of the EU IVDR. Compliance with these requirements is a prerequisite to be able to affix the CE mark to our products under the EU IVDR, without which they cannot be sold or marketed in the EU. All in vitro diagnostic medical devices placed on the market in the EU must meet the general safety and performance requirements laid down in Annex I to the EU IVDR, including the requirement that a medical device must be designed and manufactured in such a way that, during normal conditions of use, it is suitable for its intended purpose. Medical devices must be safe and effective and must not compromise the clinical condition or safety of patients, or the safety and health of users and—where applicable—other persons, provided that any risks which may be associated with their use constitute acceptable risks when weighed against the benefits to the patient and are compatible with a high

------

level of protection of health and safety, taking into account the generally acknowledged state of the art. To demonstrate compliance with the general safety and performance requirements, manufacturers must undergo a conformity assessment procedure, which varies according to the type of in vitro diagnostic medical device and its (risk) classification. For most in vitro diagnostic medical devices (other than certain lowest-risk class A devices), a conformity assessment procedure requires the intervention of a notified body. The notified body would typically audit and examine the technical file and the quality system for the manufacture, design and final inspection of our devices. If satisfied that the relevant product conforms to the relevant general safety and performance requirements, the notified body issues a certificate of conformity, which the manufacturer uses as a basis for its own EU declaration of conformity. The manufacturer may then apply the CE mark to the device, which allows the device to be placed on the market throughout the EU.

If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we would be unable to affix the CE mark to our products, which would prevent us from selling them within the EU. The aforementioned EU rules are generally applicable in the EEA (which consists of the 27 EU Member States plus Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein). Türkiye has aligned its national regulations with the EU framework for medical devices, and similar CE-marking requirements apply in Türkiye. Non-compliance with the above requirements would also prevent us from selling our products in these countries.

Following Brexit, EU laws such as the EU IVDR do not apply directly in Great Britain, however under the terms of the Windsor Framework (which amends and replaces aspects of the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland), the EU IVDR does apply in Northern Ireland. Consequently, there are currently different regulations in place in Great Britain as compared to both Northern Ireland and the EU, respectively. Ongoing compliance with both sets of regulatory requirements may result in increased costs for our business.

Furthermore, on December 16, 2024, the U.K. government signed into law an amendment to the U.K. MDR, the Medical Devices (Post-market Surveillance Requirements) (Amendment) (Great Britain) Regulations 2024, to clarify and strengthen the post-market surveillance requirements for medical devices (including IVDs) in Great Britain. This amendment came into force on June 16, 2025. In addition, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency ("***MHRA***") (the U.K. medicines and medical devices regulator) launched a consultation from November 14, 2024 to January 5, 2025 on proposed changes to the pre-market requirements for medical devices in Great Britain. The MHRA has stated that it will incorporate feedback from this consultation into new U.K. legislation on pre-market requirements for medical devices in Great Britain. This new legislation is expected to come into force in 2026. Under the U.K. MDR, in order to be lawfully placed on the Great Britain market, Class A (non-sterile) IVDs need to be United Kingdom Conformity Assessment ("***UKCA***") certified by a UK approved body. However, certain IVDs in compliance with either the EU IVDD or EU IVDR (and that hold valid CE certificates) can continue to be placed on the Great Britain market until the sooner of certificate expiration or June 30, 2030. One of the key areas in the pre-market consultation was to obtain feedback on whether to remove the requirement for a medical device and its labelling (i.e. packaging and instructions for use) in Great Britain to bear a physical UKCA mark. Instead of requiring a medical device and its labelling to bear a UKCA mark, manufacturers would be required to assign a unique design identification ("***UDI***") to medical devices before they are placed on the Great Britain market. If this change is implemented, we may no longer be required to affix the physical UKCA mark to our devices, but we may need to assign and affix a UDI. Understanding and ensuring compliance with any new requirements is likely to lead to further complexity and increased costs to our business.

It is currently unclear to what extent the U.K. government will seek to align new U.K. legislation on pre-market requirements for medical devices in Great Britain with the EU. The EU laws that have been transposed into U.K. law through secondary legislation remain applicable in Great Britain, however the full extent of the new U.K. legislation on pre-market requirements for medical devices in Great Britain remains uncertain and may cause additional cost to our business.

The FDA, other regulators or notified bodies can delay, limit, or deny clearance, approval, or certification of a product for many reasons, including but not limited to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disagreement with the design, implementation, or results of, or interpretation of the data from, our clinical studies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• determination that our product has not been shown to be safe and effective or substantially equivalent to a predicate device, or has other characteristics that preclude us from obtaining marketing authorization or certification, or prevent or limit its commercial use (for example, a narrowed indication for use claim);

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the population studied in the clinical program may not be sufficiently broad, generalizable, or representative of the intended target population of our product to assure effectiveness and safety in the population for which we seek approval, clearance, or certification;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disagreement with our interpretation of data from clinical studies or may fail to accept data from clinical studies (or clinical sites), including if we fail to establish the integrity of our data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• determination that our clinical studies otherwise fail to comply with applicable regulations, including GCP requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• serious or unexpected adverse effects or other performance issues are identified with our existing or future products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• determination that our manufacturing or quality system fails to comply with applicable regulations or otherwise fails to meet the standards necessary to support approval or certification; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the approval (or certification) policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering our clinical data insufficient for approval or certification.

There can be no assurance that our existing or future products for which we may seek clearance, approval, or certification will be approved, cleared, or certified by the FDA, a comparable foreign regulatory authority or a notified body on a timely basis, if at all. If our products or future products receive clearance, approval, or certification but there is uncertainty about such products among providers or payers, reimbursement may be adversely affected and we may not be able to sell our products. Compliance with FDA or comparable foreign regulations will require substantial costs, and subject us to heightened scrutiny by regulators and substantial penalties for failure to comply with such requirements or the inability to market our products, if and when cleared, approved, or certified. The lengthy and unpredictable clearance, approval, and certification processes, as well as the unpredictability of the results of our clinical studies, may result in our failing to obtain regulatory clearance, approval, or certification to market our products, which would significantly harm our business, results of operations, reputation, and prospects.

***Delays in receipt of, or failure to obtain, required FDA clearances or approvals or approvals required in other jurisdictions for our products in development, or improvements to or expanded indications for our current offerings, could materially delay or prevent us from commercializing or otherwise adversely impact future product commercialization.***

Unless otherwise exempted or subject to enforcement discretion, medical devices, which include in vitro diagnostic tests, must receive either FDA regulatory approval or clearance before being marketed in the U.S. Our product and our products in development will be regulated by the FDA as medical devices and we may develop new tests that are deemed medical devices and require FDA clearance or approval.

The FDA determines whether a medical device will require either regulatory approval or clearance based on statutory criteria that include the risk associated with the device and whether the device is similar to an existing, legally marketed product. The process to obtain either regulatory approval or clearance is costly, time-consuming, and uncertain. The regulatory approval process is generally more challenging than the clearance process. Even if we design a product that we expect to be eligible for the regulatory clearance process, the FDA may require that the product undergo the regulatory approval process. There can be no assurance that the FDA will ever permit us to market any new product that we develop. Even if regulatory approval or clearance is granted, such clearance or approval may include significant limitations on indicated uses, which could materially and adversely affect the prospects of any new medical device. Further, any post-market obligations such as post-approval studies, labeling changes, or enhanced reporting requirements could increase our costs and limit commercial uptake.

FDA regulatory approval or clearance is also required for certain enhancements we may make to any of our future FDA-approved or -cleared tests. FDA approval or clearance may also be required to make changes to the processes, equipment, reagents, and other consumables used in connection with any such future FDA-approved or -cleared test. FDA may further disagree with our assessment that certain modifications made to any of our future FDA-approved or -cleared tests do not require a new clearance or approval, and could require us to cease marketing the affected product until appropriate submissions are cleared or approved. Further, we may in the future develop and launch laboratory developed tests ("***LDTs***") and subsequently seek FDA clearance or approval of IVD versions of such LDTs. In 2024, the FDA finalized a regulation pursuant to which LDTs would be subject to the FDA's medical device requirements through a phase-out of its historical policy of enforcement discretion over LDTs over a period of four years (the "LDT Final Rule"). On March 31, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas vacated the LDT Final Rule,

------

reasoning that LDTs are not medical devices subject to the FDCA, and remanded the matter to the FDA for further consideration. This district court ruling was not appealed, and the FDA's final rule will no longer be implemented or enforced by the agency.

It remains uncertain what impact this ruling may have on the FDA's authority to review marketing applications for LDTs or to take enforcement action against tests marketed as LDTs. If the FDA imposes new or different requirements for marketing applications of LDTs to be reviewable in light of the District Court's decision, LDT manufacturers seeking FDA review may be required to establish that the test is a medical device subject to the FDCA, which could involve significant modification to test configurations, processes, or operations. If we could not ultimately obtain marketing authorization for our SimpleScreen CRC test or other tests where required or appropriate, our business would be substantially harmed. It is possible that the District Court's decision may limit the FDA's authority to review or approve tests that are in the process of pursuing marketing authorization, or that we may need to perform additional activities to support FDA review of our products as a result of this ruling.

For an in-vitro diagnostic device to be placed on the EU market, a CE mark (Conformité Européenne) demonstrating compliance with the EU IVDR is required. While Class A, non-sterile devices can be self-certified, all other devices require conformity assessment by an independent notified body. There is no certainty regarding the final EU IVDR approval. The transition from the previous EU IVDD to the EU IVDR continues to present regulatory, operational, and financial challenges, including potential delays in obtaining notified body certification and increased compliance costs.

Delays in receipt of, or failure to obtain, clearances or approvals could materially delay or prevent us from commercializing our products or result in substantial additional costs that could decrease our profitability. In addition, even if we receive FDA clearance or approval for a new or enhanced product, the FDA may condition, withdraw, or materially modify its clearance or approval.

***Changes in funding for, or disruptions caused by global health concerns impacting, the FDA and other government agencies or notified bodies could hinder their ability to hire and retain key leadership and other personnel, or otherwise prevent new medical device products from being developed, authorized or commercialized in a timely manner, which could negatively impact our business.***

The ability of the FDA, foreign regulatory authorities and notified bodies to review and authorize the sale or certify new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels; its ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept the payment of user fees; statutory, regulatory, and policy changes; and other events that may otherwise affect the FDA's foreign regulatory authorities' and notified bodies' ability to perform routine functions. Average review times at the FDA have fluctuated in recent years as a result. In addition, government funding of other government agencies that fund research and development activities is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable. Disruptions at the FDA, other agencies and notified bodies may also slow the time necessary for new devices, including in vitro diagnostics to be reviewed and/or authorized or certified for marketing by necessary government agencies or notified bodies, which would adversely affect our business. For example, over the last several years, the U.S. government has shut down several times and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, have had to furlough critical FDA employees and stop critical activities.

In the EU, notified bodies must be officially designated to certify in-vitro diagnostic devices in accordance with the EU IVDR. Only a small number of notified bodies have been designated to date and, therefore, they are facing a heavy workload and their review times have lengthened. This situation could impact the timelines for gaining the required certification under the EU IVDR to sell our future products in the EU and the way we are conducting, or intend to conduct, our business in the EU and the EEA (which consists of the 27 EU member states plus Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein).

***Clinical development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome, and results of earlier studies may not be predictive of future study results. In addition, regulatory authorities may require more extensive clinical evidence than we anticipate, and the standards for clinical data adequacy can evolve over time.***

Our ongoing research and development and clinical study activities are subject to extensive regulation and review by numerous governmental authorities both in the U.S. and abroad; as well as by notified bodies in some foreign jurisdictions. Obtaining the requisite regulatory approvals to commercialize any of our product candidates will require the completion of certain clinical development activities that demonstrate the performance and safety of our product candidates. For example, we have completed a PMA submission to the FDA for our SimpleScreen CRC v1 test, and as

------

we expected, we received a major deficiency letter informing us that the PMA lacks information needed to complete its review and which places the review on hold until such time that the FDA receive a complete response to the letter. The letter addressed matters related to the clinical validation of our SimpleScreen CRC v1 test, including requests for additional analyses of the test performance data from our PREEMPT CRC study, as well as the analytical validation of the test, including requests for additional testing and analyses to support the analytical validity of the test. We have engaged with the FDA to explore potential approaches to address the FDA's concerns and to allow the FDA to complete its review. Subsequently, in April 2026, we submitted to the FDA a complete response to the letter. Although we believe our responses to have been thorough and comprehensive and do not expect the deficiency letter to have a material impact on our expected timing of commercialization, there can be no assurance that the FDA will be satisfied with our responses or that our test will be approved in a timely fashion, if at all.

Clinical testing is difficult to design and implement, can take many years, can be expensive and carries uncertain outcomes. The results of nonclinical and clinical studies of our products conducted to date, and ongoing or future studies of our current, planned or future products may not be predictive of the results of later clinical studies, and interim results of a clinical study do not necessarily predict final results. The data and results from our clinical studies do not ensure that we will achieve similar results in future clinical studies. Failure can occur at any stage of clinical testing. Clinical studies may produce negative or inconclusive results, and we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical and nonclinical testing in addition to those we have planned before we are able to seek marketing authorizations or certifications for our products or product candidates.

We may experience delays in our clinical studies for a number of reasons, which could adversely affect the costs, timing or successful completion of such clinical studies. Patient enrollment in clinical studies and completion of patient follow up depend on many factors, including the size of the patient population, the nature of the study protocol, the proximity of patients to clinical sites, the eligibility criteria for the clinical study, patient compliance, competing clinical studies and clinicians' and patients' perceptions as to the potential advantages of the product being studied in relation to other available products. In addition, patients participating in our clinical studies may drop out before completion of the study or experience adverse medical events unrelated to our products. Delays in patient enrollment or failure of patients to continue to participate in a clinical study may delay commencement or completion of the clinical study, cause an increase in the costs of the clinical study, or result in the failure of the clinical study.

Each of these outcomes would harm our ability to market our tests, generate revenue or achieve sustained profitability.

***If the third parties on which we rely for the conduct of our clinical trials and results do not perform our clinical trial activities in accordance with good clinical practices and related regulatory requirements, we may be unable to obtain regulatory clearance or approval for our product candidates or commercialize our products.***

In addition, we may find it necessary to engage CROs to perform data collection and analysis and other aspects of our clinical studies, which might increase the cost and complexity of our studies. We may also depend on clinical investigators, medical institutions and contract research organizations to perform the studies, and would control only certain aspects of their activities. We would be responsible for ensuring that each of our studies is conducted in accordance with the applicable protocol, legal, regulatory and scientific standards, and our reliance on third parties would not relieve us of our regulatory responsibilities. We and our third-party contractors are required to comply with GCPs which are regulations and guidelines enforced by the FDA, European Medicines Agency ("***EMA***") and comparable regulations enforced by foreign regulatory authorities for products in clinical development. Regulatory authorities enforce these GCPs through periodic inspections of study sponsors, principal investigators and study sites. If we or any third-party contractor fails to comply with applicable GCPs, the clinical data generated in clinical studies may be deemed unreliable and the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities or notified bodies may require us to perform additional clinical studies before clearing or approving our marketing applications or certifying our products. In some cases, FDA may refuse to accept data from a non-compliant clinical site entirely, which could invalidate previously completed work or significantly reduce the statistical power of a study. A failure to comply with these regulations may require us to repeat clinical studies, which would delay the regulatory clearance, approval or certification process.

If there are delays in testing or clearances, approvals or certifications as a result of the failure to perform by third parties, our research and development costs would increase, and we may not be able to obtain regulatory clearance, approval, or certification for our tests. In addition, we may not be able to establish or maintain relationships with these parties on favorable terms, if at all. Each of these outcomes would harm our ability to market our tests, generate revenue or achieve sustained profitability.

------

***Interim, "topline" and preliminary data from our clinical studies that we announce or publish from time to time may change as more patient data become available and are subject to audit and verification procedures that could result in material changes in the final data.***

From time to time, we may publicly disclose preliminary or topline data from our preclinical studies or clinical studies, which is based on a preliminary analysis of then-available data, and the results and related findings and conclusions are subject to change following a more comprehensive review of the data related to the particular study. We also make assumptions, estimations, calculations and conclusions as part of our analyses of data, and we may not have received or had the opportunity to fully and carefully evaluate all data at the time of disclosure. As a result, the topline or preliminary results that we report may differ from future results of the same studies, or different conclusions or considerations may qualify such results, once additional data have been received and fully evaluated. Topline data also remain subject to audit and verification procedures that may result in the final data being materially different from the preliminary data we previously published. In some instances, additional statistical analyses or regulatory feedback may require re-analysis of data sets or exclusion of data previously considered valid. As a result, topline data should be viewed with caution until the final data are available.

From time to time, we may also disclose interim data from our preclinical and clinical studies. Interim data from clinical studies that we may complete are subject to the risk that one or more of the clinical outcomes may materially change as patient enrollment continues and more patient data become available. Adverse differences between preliminary, topline or interim data and final data could significantly harm our business prospects. Further, disclosure of such data by us or by our competitors could result in volatility in the price of our common stock.

Further, others, including regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, may not accept or agree with our assumptions, estimates, calculations, conclusions or analyses or may interpret or weigh the importance of data differently, which could impact the value of the particular program, the approvability or commercialization of the particular product candidate or product and our company in general. In addition, the information we choose to publicly disclose regarding a particular clinical study is based on what is typically extensive information, and you or others may not agree with what we determine is material or otherwise appropriate information to include in our disclosure and any information we determine not to disclose may ultimately be deemed significant with respect to future decisions, conclusions, views, activities or otherwise regarding a particular product, product candidate or our business.

If the interim, topline, or preliminary data that we report differ from actual results, or if others, including regulatory authorities, disagree with the conclusions reached, our ability to obtain clearance or approval for and commercialize our product candidates may be harmed, which could harm our business, operating results, prospects or financial condition.

#### Our products, if cleared or approved, may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance necessary for commercial success.
The commercial success of any of our future products will depend on the degree of market acceptance by consumers, including self-insured employers, health systems, healthcare providers, life insurance companies, patients, and, over the longer-term, third-party payers. The degree of market acceptance of our products will depend on a number of factors, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the performance, validation, and clinical utility of such products as demonstrated in clinical studies, from real-world use, and published in peer-reviewed journals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to demonstrate the clinical validation and utility of our products and their potential advantages to the medical community;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of our products to demonstrate comparable or non-inferior performance in real-world intended use populations as in clinical studies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the willingness of consumers, including self-insured employers, health systems, healthcare providers, life insurance companies, patients, and others in the medical community to utilize our products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the willingness of commercial third-party payers and government payers to cover and reimburse our products, the scope and amount of which will affect an individual's or entity's willingness or ability to pay for our products and likely heavily influence healthcare providers' decisions to recommend our products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• willingness of providers, patients, and others to learn about our products, and establish a sense of understanding and confidence in the use of our products;

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the concern that products could lead to unnecessary medical screening procedures or a high false positive rate and the associated costs of unnecessary workups resulting from false positives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the belief of providers, patients, and others that the use of our products in its intended use population is clinically appropriate, and not restricting its use to a narrower intended population;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the introduction or market acceptance of future third-party products, including the expansion of the capabilities of existing products and tests that are reimbursed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of our partners and our employees and contractors to ensure the safety and privacy of our patient data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• publicity (adverse or positive) concerning our products or operations (including third-party partners, patient-facing service providers, vendors, or suppliers) or future third-party products, including adverse publicity resulting from the use of our products or offerings by third parties, including partners;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to fulfill test orders in a timely manner; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the strength of our marketing and distribution support and patient-facing service providers.

The failure of our products, once introduced, to be listed in physician guidelines or of our studies to produce favorable and consistent results or to be published in peer-reviewed journals could limit the adoption of our products. In addition, healthcare providers and third-party payers, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("***CMS***"), may rely on physician guidelines issued by industry groups, medical societies, and other key organizations, such as the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force ("***USPSTF***"), an independent, volunteer panel of experts in the field of prevention, evidence-based medicine and primary care, before utilizing or reimbursing the cost of any diagnostic or screening test.

Further, if our products or the technology underlying them do not receive sufficient favorable exposure in peer-reviewed publications, the rate of physician and market acceptance of our products and positive reimbursement coverage decisions for our products could be negatively affected. The publication of clinical data in peer-reviewed journals is a crucial step in commercializing and helping obtain reimbursement for products, and our inability to control when, if ever, results are published, if positive, may delay or limit our ability to derive sufficient revenues from any product that is developed using data from a clinical study.

Failure to achieve broad market acceptance of our products would materially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***In 2024, the FDA finalized a regulation that has been successfully challenged in federal court, pursuant to which the FDA planned to subject LDTs to medical device requirements through a phase-out of its historical policy of enforcement discretion over LDTs over a period of four years. A federal court recently vacated the rule, and the FDA has rescinded the rule.***

Our future products may be marketed as LDTs and we may seek to commercialize certain of our products in development as LDTs. LDTs are clinical laboratory tests that are developed and validated by a laboratory for its own use. The FDA historically has taken the position that it has the authority to regulate such tests as medical devices under the FDCA but until recently has for the most part exercised enforcement discretion and has not required clearance, de novo classification, or approval of LDTs prior to marketing.

In May 2024, the FDA issued the a final rule which amended the FDA's regulations to make explicit that LDTs are devices under the FDCA (the "***LDT Rule***"). Along with the LDT Rule, the FDA finalized a policy to phase out its enforcement discretion policy over a period of four years from issuance of the final rule. However, on March 31, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas vacated the LDT Rule, reasoning that LDTs are not medical devices, and remanded the matter to the FDA for further consideration. The decision was not appealed, and in September 2025, the FDA rescinded the LDT Rule.

The FDA may assert that we are improperly marketing our future tests as LDTs and may assert we do not comply with applicable medical device requirements, and in such cases may take enforcement action against us and/or require us to seek premarket review and obtain marketing authorizations, which may require that we cease marketing any future LDT products until such marketing authorizations are obtained or the relevant applications are submitted. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any required marketing authorization for our tests or that any labeling claims will be consistent with the claims we have made or intend to make for such products when launched as LDTs, or that

------

such claims would be adequate to support continued adoption of and reimbursement for our products. In the event we are required to seek FDA marketing authorization for any current or planned products, the FDA may request that we provide additional analyses and information beyond that which we intend to produce based on the designs of our current and planned clinical studies, or that we modify or narrow our intended use or product claims. It is possible that the FDA, among other things, could disagree with our interpretation of data we have relied on to support our LDT launches for our intended uses. If we are required to provide additional analyses or additional data or perform additional clinical studies beyond those we currently contemplate to support the intended uses of our products or future products, our planned commercial launches may be delayed and we may be required to cease commercialization of any products marketed as LDTs. A delay in the launch of our products or new versions of existing products, or significantly narrowing their intended uses, could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, Congress has, for over the past decade, considered a number of proposals, which if enacted, would subject LDTs to additional regulatory requirements. For example, in recent years, Congress has worked on legislation to create a novel regulatory framework governing a new category of FDA-regulated products, referred to as in vitro clinical tests ("***IVCTs***"), which would govern LDTs and would be separate and distinct from the existing medical device regulatory framework. For example, most recently, in March 2023, the Verifying Accurate Leading-edge IVCT Development Act of 2023 (the "VALID Act") was introduced. The bill would have established a risk-based approach to imposing requirements related to premarket review, quality systems, and labeling requirements on all IVCTs, including LDTs, but would grandfather certain LDTs marketed before the effective date of the bill and exempt them from certain requirements. It is unclear whether legislative proposals such as the VALID Act (including any proposals that would, in contrast, reduce FDA oversight of LDTs) will be introduced or passed by Congress or signed into law by the President. Depending on the approach adopted under any potential legislation or regulation, certain LDTs (likely those of higher risk) may be required to undergo some form of premarket review, potentially with a transition period for compliance and a grandfathering provision. Any such legislation could substantially alter our commercial offering and marketing of LDTs and negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, as a result of the District Court decision the regulatory environment around LDTs could be significantly relaxed, which could increase competition and reduce the effectiveness of our regulatory and reimbursement strategy.

***If the FDA does not have authority to regulate LDTs as medical devices, there could be significant impacts to us and our industry, and our ability to compete could be impaired.***

We have invested significantly in pursuing a PMA for our SimpleScreen CRC test, including conducting our "Prevention of Colorectal Cancer Through Multiomics Blood Testing" (''***PREEMPT CRC***") trial to support our PMA. We believe PMA approval for our SimpleScreen CRC test, if obtained, could bolster our position in the CRC screening market, and increase or accelerate provider and patient adoption, commercial and government reimbursement and coverage, and international opportunities. In the event the FDA is not able to exercise its medical device authority with respect to LDTs, our competitors or potential competitors in the CRC screening market may face less stringent regulatory requirements to enter the market or to continue to market their tests and we may face increased competition in our industry, and adapting to the new regulatory and competitive environment could be difficult, costly and time-consuming. If we are not able to adapt to the changed regulatory environment and increased competition, our business and prospects could be materially impacted.

***Obtaining and maintaining regulatory authorization of our products in one jurisdiction does not mean that we will be successful in obtaining regulatory authorization of our products in other jurisdictions.***

Obtaining and maintaining regulatory authorization or certification of products in one jurisdiction does not guarantee that we will be able to obtain or maintain regulatory authorization or certification in any other jurisdiction, but a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory authorization or certification in one jurisdiction may have a negative effect on the regulatory authorization or certification process in others. For example, even if the FDA or a comparable foreign regulatory authority grants clearance or approval for our products, comparable regulatory authorities or notified bodies in foreign jurisdictions may also need to authorize or certify the products in those countries. Premarket authorization and certification processes vary among jurisdictions and can involve requirements and administrative review periods different from those in the U.S., including additional clinical studies, because clinical studies conducted in one jurisdiction may not be accepted by regulatory authorities or notified bodies in other jurisdictions or the data may not be considered applicable to the jurisdiction's intended patient population based on demographic, medical practice, genetic, or other differences. In some cases, the price that we intend to charge for our products may also be subject to approval.

Obtaining foreign regulatory authorization or certification and maintaining compliance with foreign regulatory requirements could result in significant delays, difficulties, and costs for us and could delay or prevent the introduction

------

of our products in certain countries. If we fail to comply with the regulatory requirements in other jurisdictions, or we fail to receive necessary or desirable marketing authorizations or certification in other jurisdictions, our target market will be reduced and our ability to realize the full market potential of our products will be harmed.

#### Even if we receive regulatory authorization or certification of our products, we will continue to be subject to extensive regulatory oversight.
Medical devices are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA in the U.S. and comparable regulatory agencies in other territories where we do business. If any of our products are cleared or approved by the FDA or other comparable foreign regulatory agencies or certified by notified bodies in foreign jurisdictions, we will be required to timely file various reports. If these reports are not filed timely, regulators may impose sanctions and sales of our products may suffer, and we may be subject to product liability or regulatory enforcement actions, all of which could harm our business. In addition, as a condition of approving a PMA, the FDA may also require some form of post-approval study or post-market surveillance, whereby the applicant conducts a follow-up study or follows certain patient groups for a number of years and makes periodic reports to the FDA on the clinical status of those patients when necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device. The product labeling must be updated and submitted in a PMA supplement as results, including any adverse event data from the post-approval study, become available. Failure to conduct or timely complete post-approval studies in compliance with applicable regulations, update the product labeling, or comply with other post-approval requirements could result in withdrawal of approval of the PMA, which would harm our business and revenue.

The FDA and the FTC also regulate the advertising and promotion of medical devices to ensure that their promotional claims made are consistent with the applicable marketing authorizations, that there are adequate and reasonable data to substantiate the claims, and that the promotional labeling and advertising is neither false nor misleading in any respect. If the FDA or FTC determines that any of our promotional claims are false, misleading, not substantiated or not permissible, we may be subject to enforcement actions and we may be required to revise our promotional claims and make other corrections or restitutions. Similar requirements apply in foreign jurisdictions.

The FDA, state and foreign authorities have broad enforcement powers. Our failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in enforcement action by the FDA, state or foreign regulatory agencies, which may include any of the following sanctions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse publicity, warning letters, untitled letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• repair, replacement, refunds, recalls, termination of distribution, administrative detention or seizures of our products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• customer notifications or repair, replacement or refunds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• refusing our requests for clearances or approvals of new products, new intended uses or modifications to existing products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• withdrawals of current clearances, approvals or certifications, resulting in prohibitions on sales of our products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• refusal to issue certificates needed to export products for sale in other countries; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• criminal prosecution.

Any of these sanctions could also result in higher than anticipated costs or lower than anticipated sales of our products and have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, the FDA may change its clearance and approval policies, adopt additional regulations or revise existing regulations, or take other actions which may prevent or delay approval or clearance of our current or future products under development. For example, on February 23, 2022, the FDA issued a proposed rule to amend the Quality Management System Regulation ("QMSR") which establishes current good manufacturing practice requirements for medical device manufacturers, to align more closely with the International Organization for Standardization ("***ISO***") standards. This proposal was finalized by a final rule issued on January 31, 2024, and the requirements of this new Quality Management System Regulation became effective February 2, 2026.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
In addition, FDA regulations and guidance are often revised or reinterpreted by the FDA in ways that may significantly affect our business and our products. Any new statutes, regulations or revisions or reinterpretations of existing regulations may impose additional costs or lengthen review times of any product candidates or make it more difficult to obtain marketing authorizations for, manufacture, market or distribute any product candidate we are developing. We cannot determine what effect changes in regulations, statutes, legal interpretation or policies, when and if promulgated, enacted or adopted may have on our business in the future. Such changes could, among other things, require: additional testing prior to seeking marketing authorization, changes to manufacturing methods recalls, replacement or discontinuance of our products or additional record keeping.

The FDA's and other regulatory authorities' policies may change and additional government regulations may be promulgated that could prevent, limit or delay marketing authorization of any product candidates we develop. If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new requirements or policies, or if we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we may be subject to enforcement action and we may not achieve or sustain profitability.

The EU regulatory landscape concerning medical devices (including in vitro diagnostic medical devices) has evolved in recent years. On April 5, 2017 the EU IVDR was adopted to establish a modernized and more robust EU legislative framework, with the aim of ensuring better protection of public health and patient safety. Unlike directives, the EU IVDR does not need to be transposed into national law and therefore reduces the risk of discrepancies in interpretation across the different EU markets.

***The misuse or off-label use of our products may harm our reputation in the marketplace, result in injuries that lead to product liability suits or result in costly investigations, fines or sanctions by regulatory bodies if we are deemed to have engaged in the promotion of these uses, any of which could be costly to our business.***

Any marketing authorization or certification we may receive or obtain for our products by the FDA, comparable foreign regulatory authorities, or notified bodies will include specified indications for use and approved (or certified) labeling. Upon receipt of FDA authorization, or certification, we will continue to train our marketing personnel and direct sales force to not promote our authorized (or certified) tests for uses outside of FDA-authorized (or certified) indications for use, known as "off-label uses." However, we are reliant on physicians and other providers to accurately provide information about our products to patients, including purposes, limitations, risks benefits, and interpretation of results, and we cannot, prevent a provider from using our products off-label, when in the provider's independent professional medical judgment he or she deems it appropriate. There may be increased risk of injury to patients if physicians attempt to use our products off-label, which could harm our reputation in the marketplace among physicians and patients.

If, after FDA authorization or certification, the FDA or any foreign regulatory body determines that our promotional materials or training constitute promotion of an off-label use, it could request that we modify our training or promotional materials or subject us to regulatory or enforcement actions, including the issuance or imposition of an untitled letter, which is used for violators that do not necessitate a warning letter, injunction, seizure, civil fine or criminal penalties. It is also possible that other federal, state or foreign enforcement authorities might take action under other regulatory authority, such as false claims laws, if they consider our business activities to constitute promotion of an off-label use, which could result in significant penalties, including, but not limited to, criminal, civil and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs and the curtailment of our operations.

In addition, physicians may misuse our products if they are not adequately trained, potentially leading to injury and an increased risk of product liability. If our devices are misused or used with improper technique, we may become subject to costly litigation by our customers or their patients. As described above, product liability claims could divert management's attention from our core business, be expensive to defend and result in sizeable damage awards against us that may not be covered by insurance.

***If our products, if approved, result in direct or indirect participant or patient harm or injury, or otherwise involve errors that give rise to legal or regulatory exposure, we could be subject to significant reputational and liability risks.***

Our success will depend on the market's confidence that our tests and test candidates can provide reliable, high-quality results. We believe that patients, customers, physicians, and regulators are likely to be sensitive to errors in the use of our tests or failure of our tests to perform as described, and there can be no guarantee that our tests will meet these expectations. A negative blood-based screening test does not rule out the presence of a particular disease.

------

Additionally, an individual undergoing unnecessary diagnostic tests on the basis of a false positive result or an erroneous result could expose us to reputational risks and potential liability. Similarly, an individual who receives a diagnosis shortly following a test result that did not detect the presence of a particular disease may create negative publicity about our tests or future tests, which would discourage adoption.

In addition to errors in test performance, our laboratory operations involve the risk of patient sample misidentification or mix-up, including circumstances in which one patient's sample may be inadvertently associated with another patient's identity, resulting in erroneous results. Such errors, whether arising from labeling, collection, handling, chain-of-custody failures, or information systems errors, could cause a patient to receive an incorrect screening result, delay appropriate diagnosis or treatment, or prompt unnecessary clinical intervention. A sample mix-up resulting in a false negative could prevent timely detection of a serious disease, while one resulting in a false positive could subject a patient to unnecessary and potentially harmful diagnostic follow-up. Either scenario could expose us to significant reputational harm, patient safety claims, and regulatory scrutiny, including potential enforcement action by CMS under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 ("***CLIA***") or by applicable state laboratory licensing authorities.

Performance failures could establish a negative perception of our products among physicians, patients, customers, and regulators, jeopardize our ability to successfully commercialize our products, impair our ability to obtain marketing authorizations or secure favorable coverage and reimbursement, or otherwise result in reputational harm or enforcement action or inquiry by a regulatory body. These risks may be more pronounced for certain applications of our blood-based screening tests or test candidates directly involved with the choice to use certain treatments in a particular case. In addition, we may be subject to legal claims arising from any errors in the use, manufacture, design, labeling, marketing, or performance of our products, including false positive or false negative results, or from patient sample misidentification or other laboratory handling errors that result in the delivery of incorrect results to patients or ordering physicians. If our products result in direct or indirect participant or patient harm or injury, we could be subject to significant reputational and liability risks, and our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects could be materially adversely affected.

***Our "research use only" and "investigational use only" products could become subject to more onerous regulation by the FDA or other regulatory agencies in the future, which could increase our costs and delay our commercialization efforts, thereby materially and adversely affecting our business and results of operations.***

In the U.S., some of our products are currently available for research use only ("***RUO***") or for investigational use only ("***IUO***") depending on the proposed application. We make our RUO and IUO products available to clinical sites enrolling participants in our registrational clinical studies. Because RUO and IUO products are not intended for use in clinical practice and cannot be advertised or promoted for clinical or diagnostic claims, they are exempt from many regulatory requirements otherwise applicable to medical devices. In particular, while the FDA regulations require that RUO products be labeled "For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures," and that IUO products be labeled "For Investigational Use Only. The performance characteristics of this product have not been established," such products are not subject to the FDA's pre- and post-market controls for medical devices.

A significant change in the laws or policies governing RUO or IUO products or how they are enforced may require us to change our business model in order to maintain compliance. For instance, in November 2013 the FDA issued a guidance document entitled "Distribution of In Vitro Diagnostic Products Labeled for Research Use Only or Investigational Use Only," or the RUO/IUO Guidance, which highlights the FDA's interpretation that distribution of RUO or IUO products with any labeling, advertising or promotion that suggests that clinical laboratories can validate the test through their own procedures and subsequently offer it for clinical diagnostic use as an LDT is in conflict with the RUO or IUO status. The RUO/IUO Guidance further articulates the FDA's position that any assistance offered in performing clinical validation or verification, or similar specialized technical support, to clinical laboratories, is in conflict with RUO or IUO status. If we engage in any activities that the FDA deems to be in conflict with the RUO or IUO status held by any of our products so labeled, we may be subject to immediate, severe and broad FDA enforcement action that would adversely affect our ability to continue operations. Accordingly, if the FDA finds that we are distributing our RUO or IUO products in a manner that is inconsistent with its RUO/IUO Guidance, we may be forced to stop distribution of our RUO/IUO tests until we are in compliance, which would reduce our revenue, increase our costs and adversely affect our business, and results of operations.

------

***If we fail to comply with healthcare and other applicable laws and regulations, we could face substantial penalties and our business, reputation, and operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.***

Our operations are subject to various U.S. federal and state fraud and abuse laws. In addition, the commercialization of our products outside the U.S. would also subject us to foreign equivalents of the healthcare laws described below, among other foreign laws. The laws that may, currently or in the future, impact our operations include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering, or paying any remuneration (including any kickback, bribe, or rebate), directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind, to induce, or in return for, either the referral of an individual, or the purchase, lease, order or recommendation of any good, facility, item, or service for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under a federal healthcare program, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation, and many courts have interpreted that statute as being violated if merely one purpose of any arrangement is to induce referrals or purchases. In 2018, Congress enacted the Eliminating Kickbacks in Recovery Act of 2018 ("  ***EKRA*** "), which establishes an all-payer anti-kickback prohibition for, among other things, knowingly and willfully paying or offering any remuneration directly or indirectly to induce a referral of an individual to a clinical laboratory. Violations of EKRA may result in fines, imprisonment, or both, for each occurrence. The law includes a limited number of exceptions, some of which closely align with corresponding Anti-Kickback Statute exceptions and safe harbors, and others that materially differ. Currently, there is no regulation interpreting or implementing EKRA, nor any guidance released by a federal agency regarding the scope of EKRA. Based on the plain language of EKRA and recent case law, certain sales-based incentive sales representatives, or customers will not be subject to scrutiny or will withstand regulatory challenge under EKRA;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the federal physician self-referral prohibition, commonly known as the Stark Law, which, in the absence of an applicable exception, prohibits a physician from making a referral for certain designated health services covered by the Medicare or Medicaid program, including clinical laboratory services, if the physician or an immediate family member of the physician has a financial relationship with the entity providing the designated health services. The Stark Law also prohibits the entity furnishing the designated health services from billing, presenting or causing to be presented a claim for the designated health services furnished pursuant to the prohibited referral;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• federal civil and criminal false claims laws, including the False Claims Act, which impose criminal and civil penalties, including through civil "qui tam" or "whistleblower" actions, against individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment or approval from Medicare, Medicaid, or other third-party payers that are false or fraudulent. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute or Stark Law constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• healthcare fraud and false statements laws, which prohibit, among other things, knowingly making a false statement to improperly avoid, decrease, or conceal an obligation to pay money to the federal government. Similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of these statutes or specific intent to violate them in order to have committed a violation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits, among other things, the offer or transfer of remuneration, including waivers of copayments and deductible amounts (or any part thereof), to a Medicare or state healthcare program beneficiary if the person knows or should know it is likely to influence the beneficiary's selection of a particular provider, practitioner, or supplier of services reimbursable by Medicare or a state healthcare program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the federal Physician Payment Sunshine Act, created under the ACA, and its implementing regulations, which require manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologicals, and medical supplies for which payment is available under Medicare, Medicaid, or the Children's Health Insurance Program to report annually to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under the Open Payments Program, information related to payments or other transfers of value made to physicians (as defined by statute), teaching hospitals, and other healthcare practitioners, as well as ownership and investment interests held by such physicians and their immediate family members;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• federal consumer protection and unfair competition laws, which broadly regulate marketplace activities and activities that potentially harm consumers; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• analogous state and foreign laws and regulations, such as state and foreign anti-kickback, false claims, consumer protection, and unfair competition laws that may apply to our business practices, including, but not limited to, research, distribution, sales and marketing arrangement, as well as submitting claims involving healthcare items or services reimbursed by any third-party payer, including commercial insurers; state laws that require healthcare companies to comply with the medical device industry's voluntary compliance guidelines, the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by the federal government that otherwise restricts payments that may be made to healthcare providers, and other potential referral sources or state-specific standards on financial interactions with healthcare providers; state laws that require healthcare companies to file reports with states regarding pricing and marketing information, such as the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensation, and other remuneration and items of value provided to healthcare professionals and entities; and state and foreign laws governing the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and may not have the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.

Because of the breadth of these laws and the narrowness of the statutory exceptions and safe harbors available and lack of clear guidance, it is possible that some of our business activities could, despite our efforts to comply, be subject to challenge under one or more of such laws. Efforts to ensure that our business arrangements will comply with applicable healthcare and other applicable laws may involve substantial costs. In the future, it is possible that governmental and enforcement authorities will conclude that our business practices may not comply with current or then-existing statutes, regulations, or case law interpreting applicable fraud and abuse or other healthcare or applicable laws and regulations. If any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business, including the imposition of civil, criminal, and administrative penalties, damages, disgorgement, monetary fines, possible exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal healthcare programs, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, and curtailment of our operations, any of which could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our results of operations.

***If third-party payers, including commercial payers and government healthcare programs, do not provide coverage of, or adequate reimbursement for, our tests, our business and results of operations will be negatively affected.***

Our revenue and commercial success depend on achieving coverage and reimbursement for our tests from payers, including both commercial and government payers. If payers do not provide coverage of, or do not provide adequate reimbursement for our tests, we may need to seek payment from the patient, which may adversely affect demand for our tests. Coverage determinations by a payer may depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to a payer's determination that a test is appropriate, medically necessary or cost-effective. If we are unable to provide payers with sufficient evidence of the clinical utility and validity of our test, they may not provide coverage, may provide limited coverage or may terminate coverage, which will adversely affect our revenues and our financial condition. To the extent that more competitors enter our markets, the availability of coverage and the reimbursement rate for our tests may decrease as we encounter pricing pressure from our competitors.

Each payer makes its own decision as to whether to provide coverage for our tests, whether to enter into a contract with us and the reimbursement rate for a test. Negotiating with payers is time-consuming, and payers often insist on their standard form contracts. There is no guarantee that a payer will provide adequate coverage or reimbursement for our tests or that we can reach an agreement with the payer on reasonable terms without being subject to additional regulatory and compliance risks. In cases where there is no coverage, or we do not have a contracted rate for reimbursement with the payer, the patient is typically responsible for a greater share of the cost of the test, which may result in delay of revenue, increase collection costs or decrease the likelihood of collection.

Our claims for reimbursement may be denied and we may have to appeal such denials in order to get paid. Such appeals may not result in payment. Payers may perform audits of historically paid claims and attempt to recoup funds years after the funds were initially distributed if the payers believe the funds were paid in error or determine that our tests were medically unnecessary. If a payer's audit of our claims results in a negative finding, and we are unable to reverse the finding through appeal, any subsequent recoupment could result in a material adverse effect on our revenue. Additionally, in some cases commercial payers for whom we are not a participating provider may elect at any time to review claims previously paid and determine the amount they paid was excessive. In these situations, the payer typically notifies us of its decision and then offsets the amount it determines to be overpaid against amounts it owes us on current claims. We do not have a mechanism to dispute these retroactive adjustments, and we cannot predict when, or how often, a payer might engage in these reviews.

------

When we contract with a payer as a participating provider, reimbursements by the payer are generally made pursuant to a negotiated fee schedule and are limited to only specifically covered indications or where prior approval has been obtained. Becoming a participating provider can result in higher reimbursement amounts for covered uses of our test and, potentially, no reimbursement for non-covered uses identified under the payer's policies or the contract.

Medicare's National Coverage Determination ("***NCD***") for Next Generation Sequencing ("***NGS***") first established in 2018 and subsequently updated in 2020 states that NGS tests are covered by Medicare nationally, when: (1) performed in a laboratory certified under the CLIA, (2) ordered by a treating physician, (3) the patient meets certain clinical and treatment criteria, including having recurrent, relapsed, refractory, metastatic, or advanced stages III or IV cancer, (4) the test is approved or cleared by the FDA as a companion in vitro diagnostic for an FDA approved or cleared indication for use in that patient's cancer, and (5) results are provided to the treating physician for management of the patient using a report template to specify treatment options.

Some payers have implemented, or are in the process of implementing, laboratory benefit management programs, often using third-party benefit managers to manage these programs. The stated goals of these programs are to help improve the quality of outpatient laboratory services, support evidence-based guidelines for patient care and lower costs. The impact on laboratories, such as us, of active laboratory benefit management by third parties is unclear, and we expect that it would have a negative impact on our revenue in the short term. Payers may resist reimbursement for our tests in favor of less expensive tests, require pre-authorization for our tests, or impose additional pricing pressure on and substantial administrative burden for reimbursement for our tests. We expect to continue to focus substantial resources on increasing adoption of, and coverage and reimbursement for, our current tests and any future tests we may develop. We believe it may take several years to achieve broad coverage and adequate contracted reimbursement with a majority of payers for our tests. However, we cannot predict whether, under what circumstances, or at what price levels payers will cover and reimburse our tests. If we fail to establish and maintain broad adoption of, and coverage and reimbursement for, our tests, our ability to generate revenue could be harmed and our business and prospects could suffer.

***The commercialization of our future products will depend heavily on payer coverage and reimbursement, and we may be unable to obtain or maintain adequate coverage or payment levels.***

Because we do not yet offer any commercial products, we have not secured coverage, reimbursement, or contracted rates with Medicare, Medicaid, commercial payers, or managed care organizations. If and when we commercialize our tests, reimbursement amounts and coverage decisions will heavily influence adoption and utilization. Payers may deny coverage, limit coverage to certain patient populations, require prior authorization, or reduce reimbursement levels. To secure favorable coverage decisions, we will need to generate sufficient clinical and economic evidence, which may be costly, time-consuming, or unsuccessful. Even where coverage is obtained, payment rates may be low, uncertain, or subject to frequent change.

One of the key elements of our strategy is to expand access to our tests by pursuing coverage and reimbursement from third-party payers, both private and government payers. If our products do not receive adequate coverage and reimbursement, if at all, from third-party payers, our ability to expand access to our products beyond our existing sales channels will be limited and our overall commercial success will be limited.

Coverage and reimbursement by third-party payers for early detection tests can be limited and uncertain. Healthcare providers may not order our products unless third-party payers cover and provide adequate reimbursement rates for a substantial portion of the price of our products. If we are not able to obtain adequate coverage and an acceptable level of reimbursement for our products from third-party payers, patients or other payers may be required to pay all or a substantial portion of the cost out-of-pocket, which could dissuade providers from ordering our tests and could reduce utilization and delay or reduce our collection of payment.

Even if our tests are covered by third-party payers, including commercial payers and government healthcare programs, those payers may modify coverage policies, billing rules, documentation requirements, prior authorization processes, utilization controls, or claims-processing practices at any time, often without advance notice. Such changes may delay or prevent payment for covered tests, increase administrative burdens, or require additional submissions or approvals. In addition, payers may withhold, delay, or deny payment for covered tests for administrative, technical, or compliance-related reasons, or may rely on third-party utilization management vendors or external review organizations whose determinations could further delay or reduce reimbursement. Resolving such payment delays or denials may require costly and time-consuming appeals or resubmissions, with uncertain outcomes.

------

Coverage determinations and reimbursement levels may be made on an indication-by-indication basis and may include restrictions based on population, ordering provider, frequency, or other criteria. In addition, even if we establish relationships with payers to provide our products at negotiated rates, such agreements would not obligate any healthcare providers to order our tests or guarantee that we would receive reimbursement at adequate levels.

Tests used in screening contexts may face incremental scrutiny from third-party payers given the potential downstream costs of follow-on diagnostic workups and the potential for false positives on an absolute basis when deployed at scale.

If we are unable to obtain or maintain adequate coverage and reimbursement, or if we experience material payment delays, denials, or increased administrative burdens, our ability to commercialize our future products, generate revenue, and achieve profitability may be materially impaired.

***Traditional fee-for-service Medicare generally does not cover screening tests absent a statutory benefit, and if our future tests are treated as screening tests, our ability to obtain Medicare coverage and reimbursement may be limited, delayed, or require legislative or guideline changes.***

Medicare is the single largest U.S. payer and a particularly important payer for many cancer-related laboratory services given the demographics of the Medicare population. Traditional fee-for-service Medicare generally does not cover screening tests, which are considered preventive services, that are performed in the absence of signs or symptoms of illness or injury, unless there is a statutory provision that explicitly authorizes coverage of the test.

CMS has authority to cover certain additional preventive services through an NCD process where the service is recommended with a grade of A or B by the USPSTF, among other criteria, and the USPSTF generally waits for regulatory authorization (e.g., FDA authorization) before it considers undertaking reviews of novel technology. Historically, evidence packages supporting USPSTF A/B recommendations have included long-term outcomes (including mortality) data, which may require extended follow-up and significant resources.

If our future tests are treated as screening tests under Medicare, fee-for-service Medicare coverage and reimbursement may be unavailable unless we pursue substantial additional measures (which may include obtaining a favorable USPSTF grade and seeking an NCD) or unless Congress enacts a statutory provision authorizing coverage of multi-cancer early detection or similar screening tests. Medicare coverage can also be changed by statute, but any legislative effort may be delayed, may not be enacted, or may be enacted in narrower or less favorable terms. Any such pathway could take several years, require significant investments and resources, and may ultimately be unsuccessful.

If we are unable to obtain Medicare coverage and reimbursement for screening uses, adoption and utilization of our future tests may be materially limited, our commercial strategy may be delayed or require modification, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

See the section entitled "*Information about Freenome—Payer Coverage and Reimbursement*" for additional information.

***Our future products may not receive favorable payment determinations under Medicare, and changes in Medicare payment methodologies, including under the federal law PAMA, could reduce the reimbursement amounts for our tests.***

Medicare coverage, coding, and payment will be essential to our commercial strategy. Payment amounts for diagnostic tests under the Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule ("***CLFS***") may be negatively affected by changes in methodology, including future rulemaking or legislative reform affecting the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 ("***PAMA***"). As described in the section entitled "*Information about Freenome—Payer Coverage and Reimbursement—Government Payers—Medicare Coverage and CLFS Payment,*" PAMA requires certain laboratories to report private-payer rates that CMS uses to establish CLFS payment rates; Congress has repeatedly delayed reporting cycles and temporary payment caps. Future changes to PAMA or CMS implementation of updated median rates following the 2026 reporting period could materially affect reimbursement for our tests. If Medicare payment rates for our future tests are insufficient, our revenue, margins, and commercial viability could be materially harmed.

#### We may be unable to obtain the coding necessary to secure appropriate payment for our future tests, and coding changes may adversely affect reimbursement.
As described in the section entitled "*Information about Freenome—Payer Coverage and Reimbursement—Government Payers— Coding and the MolDx Program,*" coding, including Current Procedural Terminology (''***CPT***") codes and Z-Codes issued through the MolDx program, plays a significant role in how payers

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
adjudicate claims. We may be unable to obtain unique CPT codes or Z-Codes, or payers may determine that our tests should be billed under less favorable miscellaneous or existing codes. Coding assignments may also change over time, which could reduce payment levels or delay claims adjudication. Any of these outcomes could materially adversely affect our commercialization strategy and financial results.

#### Commercial payer contracting is complex and uncertain, and failure to secure contracted status with key payers could limit adoption of our tests.
Commercial payers may determine not to contract with us, may impose restrictive terms, or may reimburse us only as a non-participating provider at significantly lower rates. As described in the section entitled "*Information about Freenome—Payer Coverage and Reimbursement—Commercial Payers,*" contracted status often improves payment levels but may exclude non-covered or investigational uses of our tests. If we fail to obtain and maintain favorable commercial payer contracts, adoption of our future tests may be limited, reimbursement for out-of-network services may be insufficient, and our business and prospects could be adversely affected. Even if commercial payers contract with us, they may still deny payment or change requirements for payment at any time without notice which may require us to appeal claims which could be costly and time consuming and unsuccessful. Furthermore commercial payers may break contracts and withhold payment at any time and for any reason and threaten the company with legal action should we demand fulfillment of the contract. We may not have sufficient time or resources for protracted legal disputes with payers.

#### Evolving federal and state laboratory regulations, including the CLIA and state licensure requirements, may impose significant costs or delay commercialization of our future tests.
We are required to hold certain federal, state and local licenses, certifications and permits to conduct our business. CMS regulates all non-research laboratory testing performed on humans in the U.S. through the CLIA. In total, CLIA covers approximately 260,000 laboratory entities. The Division of Clinical Laboratory Improvement & Quality, within the Quality, Safety & Oversight Group, under the Center for Clinical Standards and Quality ("***CCSQ***"), has the responsibility for implementing the CLIA program. Under CLIA, we are required to hold a certificate applicable to the type of laboratory tests we perform and to comply with standards applicable to our operations, including test processes, personnel, facilities administration, equipment maintenance, recordkeeping, quality systems and proficiency testing, which are intended to ensure, among other things, that clinical laboratory testing services are accurate, reliable and timely.

We maintain CLIA certification for our Brisbane, California laboratory that allows us to perform high complexity testing.

A laboratory that is certified as "high complexity" under CLIA may develop, manufacture, validate and use proprietary tests referred to as LDTs. CLIA requires analytical validation including accuracy, precision, specificity, sensitivity and establishment of a reference range for any LDT used in clinical testing. The regulatory and compliance standards applicable to the testing we perform may change over time, and any such changes could have a material effect on our business. In addition, CLIA allows states to impose additional laboratory licensure requirements, some of which apply to out-of-state laboratories performing testing for residents of those states. Penalties for non-compliance with CLIA requirements include a range of enforcement actions, including suspension, limitation or revocation of the laboratory's CLIA certificate, as well as directed plan of correction, state on-site monitoring, civil monetary penalties, civil injunctive suit or criminal penalties.

If we were to lose our CLIA certification, whether as a result of a revocation, suspension or limitation, we would no longer be able to offer our tests, which would limit our revenues and seriously harm our business. If we were to lose, or fail to obtain, a license in any other state where we are required to hold a license, we would not be able to test specimens from those states, which also could limit our revenues and seriously harm our business.

As described in the section entitled "*Information about Freenome—Clinical Laboratory Framework—Federal and State Laboratory Licensing Requirements,*" our failure to maintain required certifications or licenses could require us to redirect testing, suspend test availability in affected jurisdictions, or delay commercialization. Changes to CLIA or state laboratory laws could also impose additional requirements or create uncertainty around the regulatory treatment of multi-omics tests. These developments could increase our costs, delay commercial launch, or materially limit our ability to offer testing services.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
***We are subject to extensive federal and state fraud and abuse laws, and failure to comply with these laws could result in significant penalties or impair our ability to commercialize our future products.***

As described in the section entitled, "*Information about Freenome—Federal and State Fraud and Abuse Laws,*" we are or may be subject to numerous federal and state laws governing financial relationships with healthcare providers, laboratories, and referral sources, including the Anti-Kickback Statute ("***AKS***"), Eliminating Kickbacks in Recovery Act ("***EKRA***"), Stark Law, and the False Claims Act ("***FCA***"). These laws are complex, broadly interpreted, and subject to evolving enforcement priorities. Any actual or alleged failure to comply could result in substantial civil, criminal, and administrative penalties, corporate integrity agreements, exclusion from government healthcare programs, reputational harm, and significant business disruption. Even arrangements that are common industry practice carry inherent compliance risk. Investigations or enforcement actions, regardless of outcome, could materially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

#### Failure to comply with HIPAA, state privacy laws, or international data protection requirements could expose us to liability and disrupt our operations.
As described in the section entitled, "*Information about Freenome—Privacy and Security Regulations,*" we are or will be subject to HIPAA, state privacy laws such as the CCPA, and potentially the GDPR and other international privacy frameworks as we expand globally. These laws impose obligations related to the use, disclosure, security, and breach reporting of personal information. Non-compliance may result in civil monetary penalties, regulatory investigations, litigation, contractual liability, and reputational harm. Evolving legal requirements may increase our compliance burden and require modifications to our processes, systems, and data governance practices.

#### Changes in healthcare policy, including future healthcare reform measures, could adversely affect our business.
As described in the section entitled, "*Information about Freenome—U.S. Healthcare Reform,*" federal and state governments continue to propose and adopt healthcare reforms that impact coverage, reimbursement, payment methodologies, and market access. Future reforms could reduce payment rates, restrict coverage of preventive or diagnostic tests, impose new compliance obligations, or otherwise negatively affect demand for our future products. Because we cannot predict the scope or timing of future healthcare policy changes, their impact on our business is inherently uncertain.

***We are subject to export and import controls, economic sanctions and anti-corruption laws and regulations of the U.S. and other jurisdictions. We can face criminal liability and other serious consequences for violations of these laws and regulations, which can harm our business.***

We are subject to export control and import laws and regulations, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, U.S. Customs regulations, and various economic and trade sanctions regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control. Export controls and trade sanctions laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit altogether the provision, sale, or supply of our products to certain governments, persons, entities, countries, and territories, including those that are the target of comprehensive sanctions or an embargo. We are also subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 ("***FCPA***") as amended, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel Act, and other state and national anti-bribery laws in the countries in which we conduct activities. Anti-corruption laws are interpreted broadly and prohibit companies and their employees, agents, contractors, and other partners from authorizing, promising, offering, or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments or anything else of value to recipients in the public or private sector. The FCPA also requires public companies to make and keep books and records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the corporation and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls. We can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of our employees, agents, contractors, and other partners, even if we do not explicitly authorize or have actual knowledge of such activities. Any violation of the laws and regulations described above may result in substantial civil and criminal fines and penalties, imprisonment, the loss of export or import privileges, debarment, tax reassessments, breach of contract and fraud litigation, reputational harm, and other consequences.

***If we or any third-party we engage now or in the future fail to comply with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, we could become subject to fines or penalties or incur costs or liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our business.***

We and any contract manufacturers and suppliers we engage are subject to numerous environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing laboratory procedures and the handling, use, storage, treatment

and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes. We may incur substantial costs in order to comply with current or future environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. These current or future laws and regulations may impair our research, development or commercialization efforts. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations also may result in substantial fines, penalties or other sanctions.

Our operations involve the use of hazardous and flammable materials, including chemicals and biological materials. Our operations also produce hazardous waste products. We generally contract with third parties for the disposal of these materials and waste. We cannot eliminate the risk of contamination or injury from these materials. In the event of contamination or injury resulting from our use of hazardous materials, we could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any liability could exceed our resources. We also could incur significant costs associated with civil or criminal fines and penalties. With respect to the operations of our current and any future third party contract manufacturers, it is possible that if they fail to operate in compliance with applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations or properly dispose of wastes associated with our products, we could be held liable for any resulting damages, suffer reputational harm or experience a disruption in our operations. In addition, our supply chain may be adversely impacted if any of our third-party contract manufacturers become subject to injunctions or other sanctions as a result of their non-compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. Although we maintain general liability insurance as well as workers' compensation insurance to cover us for costs and expenses we may incur due to injuries to our employees resulting from the use of hazardous materials, this insurance may not provide adequate coverage against potential liabilities.

Further, our headquarters and laboratory facilities are located on a former landfill for which redevelopment or use is complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. Although this has not impacted us to date, certain events could occur may require us to pay significant clean-up or other costs in order to maintain our operations. Such events include, but are not limited to, changes in environmental laws, discovery of new contamination, or unintended exacerbation of existing contamination. The occurrence of any such event could materially affect our ability to continue our business operations on such property.

***Our employees, principal investigators, consultants and commercial partners may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including non-compliance with regulatory standards and requirements and insider trading.***

We are exposed to the risk of fraud or other misconduct by our employees, principal investigators, consultants and commercial partners. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional failures to comply with the regulations of the FDA, CMS and non-U.S. regulators, comply with healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations in the U.S. and abroad, report financial information or data accurately or disclose unauthorized activities to us. In particular, sales, marketing, and business arrangements in the healthcare industry are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, misconduct, kickbacks, self-dealing and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs and other business arrangements. Such misconduct could also involve the improper use of information obtained in the course of clinical studies, which could result in regulatory sanctions and cause serious harm to our reputation. We currently have a code of conduct applicable to all of our employees, but it is not always possible to identify and deter employee misconduct, and our code of conduct and the other precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses, or in protecting us from governmental investigations, lawsuits or other actions stemming from a failure to comply with these laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could result in the imposition of significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, including, without limitation, damages, monetary fines, individual imprisonment, disgorgement of profits, possible exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs or from coverage of commercial payers, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, additional reporting or oversight obligations if we become subject to a corporate integrity agreement or other agreement to resolve allegations of non-compliance with the law and curtailment or restructuring of our operations, which could have a significantly adverse impact on our business. Whether or not we are successful in defending against such actions, we could incur substantial costs and expenses, including legal fees, and divert the attention of management from the operation of our business.

#### Risks Related to Intellectual Property
***If we are unable to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our technology, or if the scope of the intellectual property protection we obtain is not sufficiently broad, our competitors may develop and commercialize technology and tests similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize our products may be impaired.***

Our ability to compete successfully will depend in part on our ability to obtain and/or enforce intellectual property protection for our tests and products, preserve our trade secrets, and operate without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property and proprietary rights of third parties. Filing, prosecuting, and defending intellectual property rights for our test, products and other technologies in all countries throughout the world may be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. Furthermore, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent or in the same manner as the laws of the U.S. As a result, we may encounter significant problems in protecting and enforcing our intellectual property both in the U.S. and abroad.

We may not be able to file, prosecute, maintain, enforce, and/or license all necessary or desirable patents or patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner, or in all jurisdictions, or at all. We may choose not to seek patent protection for certain innovations and may choose not to pursue patent protection in certain jurisdictions. It is also possible that we may fail to identify patentable technologies in a timely fashion, which may impair our ability to obtain patent protection on such technology at all. Furthermore, in some cases, we have only filed provisional patent applications on certain aspects of our products and technologies, and these provisional patent applications are not eligible to become an issued patent until, among other things, we file a non-provisional patent application within 12-months the filing date of the applicable provisional patent application. In cases where we did not obtain patent protection for certain of our inventions, we may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our inventions or from selling or importing tests made using our inventions in and into the U.S. or other jurisdictions.

Moreover, while we have applied for patents that protect aspects of our technology in the U.S. and several other jurisdictions, we cannot assure you that our intellectual property position, including our pending patent applications and any patents that may issue from our patent applications, will not be challenged or that all patents for which we have applied will be issued on a timely basis or at all, or that such patents will protect our technology, in whole or in part, or be issued in a form that will provide us with meaningful protection, prevent competitors from competing with us, or otherwise provide us with any competitive advantage. The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its inventorship, scope, validity, or enforceability, and any of our patents may be challenged in the courts or patent offices in the U.S. or abroad. As a result of such challenges, our pending or future patent applications may not result in issued patents, or the scope of future patents may not be as broad as we anticipate, or our future issued patents may be held invalid or unenforceable. If we were to lose patent coverage for any of our products or product candidates, this may adversely impact our commercial partnerships, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage with respect to commercialization.

Moreover, some of our future patent applications or patents that may issue from such patent applications may be co-owned with third parties, or a third party may claim to have an ownership interest in some of our patent applications. If we are unable to obtain an exclusive license to any such third-party co-owners' interest in such patent applications or patents, such co-owners may be able to license their rights to other third parties, including our competitors, and our competitors may market competing products and technology. In addition, we may need the cooperation of any such co-owners in order to enforce such patents against third parties, and such cooperation may not be provided to us.

Our competitors or other third parties may be able to circumvent our future patents by developing similar or alternative technologies or tests in a non-infringing manner. Competitors could also set up laboratories outside the countries in which we have filed patent applications in order to compete without infringing upon our intellectual property, even if they collect patient samples from countries in which we do have patent protection. Competitors could also run machine learning models outside of the countries in which we have filed patent applications in order to compete without infringing upon our intellectual property, even if certain parts of the data from the models are used in countries in which we do have patent protection. If a third party obtains an issued patent on inventions we use in our products, that party could prevent us from using those inventions, and we may not be able to design around the third party's patents or obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. In addition, to the extent we may grant in the future, licenses or sublicenses of our intellectual property rights to third parties, we cannot provide any assurance that such intellectual property rights will not be used by those third parties in a manner that could compete with our business or otherwise negatively impact any competitive advantage provided by such intellectual property rights. We also cannot provide assurances that third-party patents or other intellectual property do not exist that our current or future

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
technology, manufacturing methods, products, methods or tests infringe or will infringe, which could result in litigation, the imposition of injunctions preventing our use of such technology, manufacturing methods, products or future methods or tests, or require us to obtain licenses or pay royalties and/or other forms of compensation to third parties, which could be significant and could harm our results of operations. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

In addition to the protection that may be afforded by future patents, we rely on trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements to protect proprietary know-how that is not patentable, processes for which patents are difficult to enforce, and any other elements of our technology and products that involve proprietary know-how, information or technology that will not be covered by future patents. We may also rely on trade secret protection as temporary protection for concepts that may be included in a future patent filing. However, trade secret protection will not protect us from innovations that a competitor develops independently of our proprietary know-how. If a competitor independently develops a technology that we protect as a trade secret and files a patent application on that technology, then we may not be able to patent that technology in the future, and may require a license from the competitor to use our own know-how, and if the license is not available on commercially viable terms or at all, then we may not be able to launch our product or may be prevented from using our product. Even if we were able to obtain a license, it could be non-exclusive, thereby giving our competitors and other third parties access to the same technologies licensed to us. Although we require all of our employees to assign their inventions to us and require all of our employees, consultants, advisors, and any third parties who have access to our trade secrets, know-how, and proprietary information or technology to enter into confidentiality agreements, we cannot be certain we have entered into such agreements with all applicable parties, and such agreements can be breached. We cannot be certain that our trade secrets and other confidential proprietary information will not be disclosed or that competitors will not otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or independently develop substantially equivalent information and techniques, or determine our trade secrets through the reverse engineering of our products. If we are unable to prevent unauthorized material disclosure of our intellectual property to third parties, we may not be able to establish or maintain a competitive advantage in our market, and this scenario could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

#### If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position would be harmed.
In addition to seeking patents for our products and other technologies, we also rely on trade secrets and confidentiality agreements to protect our unpatented know-how, technology, data, and other proprietary information and to maintain our competitive position. Some machine learning and algorithmic technologies are commonly protected as trade secrets rather than being patented. We expect our trade secrets and know-how to over time be disseminated within the industry through independent development, the publication of journal articles describing the methodology, and the movement of personnel from academic to industry scientific positions.

Trade secrets and know-how can be difficult to protect. We seek to protect these trade secrets and other proprietary technology, in part, by entering into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with parties who have access to them, such as our employees, directors, corporate collaborators, outside scientific collaborators, contract research organizations, contract manufacturers, suppliers, service providers, consultants, advisors, and other third parties. It is also our policy to enter into confidentiality and invention or patent assignment agreements with our employees and consultants as well as to train our employees not to bring or use proprietary information or technology from former employers to us or use it in their work and remind departing employees when they leave their employment of their continuing confidentiality obligations. We cannot guarantee that we have entered into such agreements with each party that may have access to our trade secrets or proprietary technology and processes. Despite our efforts, any of these parties may breach the agreements and disclose our proprietary information, including our trade secrets, and we may not be able to obtain adequate remedies for such breaches. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret is difficult, expensive, and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. Some courts outside the U.S. are less willing or unwilling to protect trade secrets. For example, in China, claims regarding infringement or misappropriation of trade secrets are difficult to prove, and consequently plaintiffs are rarely successful in bringing these claims. If any of our trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor or other third party, we would have no right to prevent them from using that technology or information to compete with us. If any of our trade secrets were to be misappropriated by, disclosed to, or independently developed by a competitor or other third party, our competitive position could be materially and adversely harmed.

Despite our active trade secret registry and training, trade secrets may be independently developed by others in a manner that could prevent legal recourse by us. Though our agreements with third parties typically restrict the ability

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
of our advisors, employees, collaborators, licensors, suppliers, third-party contractors, and consultants to publish data potentially relating to our trade secrets, our agreements may contain certain limited publication rights. Because from time to time we expect to rely on third parties in the development, manufacture, and distribution of our products and provision of our services, we must, at times, share trade secrets with them. Despite employing the contractual and other security precautions described above, the need to share trade secrets increases the risk that such trade secrets become known by our competitors, are inadvertently incorporated into the technology of others, or are disclosed or used in violation of these agreements. If any of our trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor or other third party, we would have no right to prevent them from using that technology or information to compete with us. If any of our trade secrets were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor or other third party, our competitive position would be harmed. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

***We cannot ensure that patent rights relating to inventions described and claimed in our pending patent applications will issue or that future patents based on our patent applications will not be challenged and rendered invalid and/or unenforceable.***

The patent application process is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we or any of our potential future collaborators will be successful in protecting our products or technologies by obtaining and defending patents. We have 134 pending patent applications in our portfolio consisting of 27 pending U.S. patent applications and 107 pending foreign patent applications; however, we cannot predict:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if and when patents may issue based on our patent applications;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the scope of protection of any patent issuing based on our patent applications;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the claims of any patent issuing based on our patent applications will provide protection against competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether or not third parties will find ways to invalidate or circumvent our patent rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether or not others will obtain patents claiming aspects similar to those covered by our patents and patent applications;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether we will need to initiate litigation or administrative proceedings to enforce and/or defend our patent rights which will be costly whether we win or lose; and/or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether our patent applications will result in issued patents with claims that cover our products or technologies or uses thereof in the U.S. or in other jurisdictions.

We cannot be certain that the claims in our pending patent applications directed to our tests, products or technologies will be considered patentable by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("***USPTO***") or by patent offices in foreign countries. There can be no assurance that any such patent applications will issue as granted patents. One aspect of the determination of patentability of our inventions depends on the scope and content of the "prior art," information that was or is deemed available to a person of skill in the relevant art prior to the priority date of the claimed invention. There may be prior art of which we are not aware that may affect the patentability of our patent claims or, if issued, affect the validity or enforceability of a patent claim. Publications of discoveries in scientific literature often lag behind the actual discoveries, and patent applications in the U.S. and other jurisdictions are typically not published until 18 months after filing, or in some cases not at all. Therefore, we cannot know with certainty whether we were the first to make the inventions claimed in our pending patent applications, or that we were the first to file for patent protection of such inventions. In some jurisdictions, including the U.S., certain cancer screening, detection and diagnostic inventions, or software- or machine learning-based inventions may be determined not to be patentable because they fail to meet patent eligibility requirements. As a result, the issuance, scope, validity, enforceability, and commercial value of our patent rights are uncertain. Given the amount of time required for the development, testing, and regulatory review of new diagnostic tests, patents protecting such tests might expire before or shortly after such products are commercialized. As a result, our patent portfolio may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing tests similar or identical to ours.

Even if patents do issue based on our patent applications, third parties may challenge the validity, enforceability or scope thereof, which may result in such patents being narrowed, invalidated or held unenforceable. Furthermore, even if they are unchallenged, future patents in our portfolio may not adequately exclude third parties from practicing relevant technology or prevent others from designing around our claims. If the breadth or strength of our intellectual

------

property position with respect to our products or technologies is threatened, it could dissuade companies from collaborating with us to develop, and threaten our ability to commercialize our products or technologies. In the event of litigation or administrative proceedings, we cannot be certain that the claims in any of our issued future patents will be considered valid by courts in the U.S. or foreign countries. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***Obtaining and maintaining patent protection depends on compliance with various procedural, document submission, fee payment and other requirements imposed by government patent agencies, and our patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliance with these requirements.***

Periodic maintenance fees, renewal fees, annuity fees, and various other government fees on patents and applications will be due to be paid to the USPTO and patent agencies outside of the U.S. over the lifetime of our patent applications and future patents. Such agencies also require compliance with several procedural, documentary, fee payment, and other similar provisions during the patent application process. In certain circumstances, we may in the future rely on our licensing partners to pay these fees and to take the necessary actions to comply with other requirements to maintain licensed patents during their term. We rely on industry-standard service providers to help us comply with these requirements and effect payment of these fees with respect to the patent applications and future patents that we own. In some cases, an inadvertent lapse can be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules. There are situations, however, in which non-compliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in a partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. In such an event, third parties and other competitors might be able to enter the market with similar or identical tests or technology, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. It is also possible that a deadline for the USPTO or a foreign patent office could be inadvertently missed during prosecution of our patents that may result in an unrecoverable loss of patent rights.

#### We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.
Patents are of national or regional effect, and although we have pending patent applications in the U.S., filing, prosecuting and defending patents on all of our research programs and technologies in all jurisdictions throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and our intellectual property rights in some countries outside the U.S. can be less extensive than those in the U.S.

In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and state laws in the U.S. Diagnostic test inventions and machine learning inventions may not be able to be protected in foreign countries in the same manner or with the same scope as they are in the U.S. Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our inventions in all countries outside the U.S. or from selling or importing products made using our inventions in and into the U.S. or other jurisdictions. Competitors may use our technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection to develop their own products and, further, may export otherwise infringing products to territories where we have patent protection, but enforcement is not as strong as that in the U.S. These competitor products may compete with our products or technologies, and our future patents or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing.

Various companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of many countries do not favor the enforcement of patents and other intellectual property protection, particularly those relating to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our future patents or marketing of competing products in violation of our proprietary rights. Various countries outside the U.S. have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third parties. In addition, many countries limit the enforceability of patents against government agencies or government contractors. As a result, a patent owner may have limited remedies in certain circumstances, which could materially diminish the value of such patents. If we are forced to grant a license to third parties with respect to any future patents relevant to our business, our competitive position may be impaired, and our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects may be adversely affected. Accordingly, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that we develop or license.

Further, the standards applied by the USPTO and foreign patent offices in granting patents are not always applied uniformly or predictably. As such, we do not know the degree of future protection that we will have on our technologies and products. While we will endeavor to protect our technologies and products with patents, as appropriate, the process of obtaining patents is time-consuming, expensive, and unpredictable.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Intellectual property rights do not necessarily address all potential threats to our competitive advantage.
The degree of future protection afforded by our intellectual property rights is uncertain because intellectual property rights have limitations and may not adequately protect our business or permit us to maintain our competitive advantage. For example:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• others may be able to make products that are similar to ours but that are not covered by the claims of our patent applications or patents that may issue from such patent applications;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we or our collaborators or future licensors might not have been the first to make the inventions covered by a pending patent application or future patent that we own or license;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we or our collaborators or future licensors might not have been the first to file patent applications covering certain of our or their inventions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• others may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or duplicate any of our technologies without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating our intellectual property or proprietary rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• it is possible that noncompliance with the USPTO's and foreign governmental patent agencies' requirements for a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment, and other provisions during the patent process can result in abandonment or lapse of a patent or patent application, and partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• it is possible that our pending patent applications will not lead to issued patents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• future issued patents that we own may be revoked, modified or held invalid or unenforceable, as a result of legal challenges by our competitors or other third parties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our competitors or other third parties might conduct research and development activities in countries where we do not have patent rights and then use the information learned from such activities to develop competitive products for sale in our major commercial markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may not develop additional proprietary technologies that are patentable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we cannot predict the scope of protection of any patent issuing based on our patent applications, including whether the patent applications that we own will result in issued patents with claims that are directed to our products or technologies in the U.S. or in other jurisdictions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• there may be significant pressure on the U.S. government and international governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the U.S. for disease detection, diagnostic, and/or screening technologies that prove successful, as a matter of public policy regarding worldwide health concerns;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• countries other than the U.S. may have patent laws less favorable to patentees than those upheld by U.S. courts, allowing foreign competitors a better opportunity to create, develop and market competing products or technologies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the claims of any patent issuing based on our patent applications may not provide protection against competitors or any competitive advantages or may be challenged by third parties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if enforced, a court may not hold that our future patents are valid, enforceable and infringed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may need to initiate litigation or administrative proceedings to enforce and/or defend our patent rights which will be costly whether we win or lose;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may choose not to file a patent application in order to maintain certain trade secrets or know-how, and a third party may subsequently file a patent application covering such intellectual property;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the patents of others may have an adverse effect on our business if they are asserted against a third-party supplier for components, accessories, and/or materials that we utilize in our products; such an event could result in a disruption or interruption in supply from these suppliers, or in the operations of such suppliers, which may negatively impact our business, supply chain and laboratory operations and could delay our ability to develop and commercialize our tests, including our CRC genomics assay.

Should any of these or similar events occur, they could significantly harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***Our success depends on our ability to develop and commercialize our technology without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of third parties. Third parties may initiate legal proceedings alleging that we are infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating their intellectual property rights, the outcome of which would be uncertain and could have a material adverse effect on the success of our business.***

Our commercial success in part depends upon our ability, and the ability of our partners, to market, sell, and distribute our products and use our proprietary technologies without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the proprietary rights of third parties. Many of our competitors have sizable patent portfolios that cover various aspects of cancer diagnostics and machine learning, including patents that may potentially be alleged to cover our products or technology. As our industry expands and more patents are issued, the risk increases that our products and technologies may be subject to claims of infringement of the patent rights of third parties. We may not identify relevant third-party patents or may incorrectly interpret the relevance, scope, or expiration of a third-party patent, which might adversely affect our ability to develop and market our products. There can be no assurance that our operations do not, or will not in the future, infringe existing or future third-party patents. Identification of third-party patent rights that may be relevant to our operations is difficult because patent searching is imperfect due to differences in terminology among patents, incomplete databases, and the difficulty in assessing the meaning of patent claims. We cannot guarantee that any of our patent searches or analyses, including the identification of relevant patents, the scope of patent claims, or the expiration of relevant patents, are complete or thorough, nor can we be certain that we identify each and every third-party patent and pending application in the U.S. and abroad that is relevant to or necessary for the commercialization of our products or technologies in any jurisdiction.

Numerous U.S. and foreign patents and pending patent applications exist in our technology space that are owned by third parties. Our competitors and other third parties in both the U.S. and abroad, many of which have substantially greater resources and have made substantial investments in patent portfolios and competing technologies, may have applied for or obtained, or may in the future apply for and obtain, patents that will prevent, limit or otherwise interfere with our ability to make, use and sell our products. We do not always conduct independent reviews of pending patent applications of and patents issued to third parties. Patent applications in the U.S. and elsewhere are typically published approximately 18 months after the earliest filing for which priority is claimed, with such earliest filing date being commonly referred to as the priority date. Certain U.S. applications that will not be filed outside the U.S. can remain confidential until patents issue. In addition, patent applications in the U.S. and elsewhere can be pending for many years before issuance, or unintentionally abandoned patents or applications can be revived. Furthermore, pending patent applications that have been published can, subject to certain limitations, be later amended in a manner that could cover our technologies, our products or the use of our products. As such, third parties may have patent applications now pending or recently revived patents of which we are unaware. Such patent applications may later result in issued patents, or the revival of previously abandoned patents, that will prevent, limit or otherwise interfere with our ability to make, use or sell our products. And even if we are aware of a certain third-party patent or patent application, we may incorrectly determine that our products are not covered by such third-party patent or may incorrectly predict whether a third party's pending application will issue with claims of relevant scope. Our determination of the expiration date of any patent in the U.S. or abroad that we consider relevant may be incorrect. Our failure to identify and correctly interpret relevant patents may negatively impact our ability to develop and market our products. As such, we cannot provide any assurances that third-party patents do not currently, or will not in the future, exist which might be enforced against our current and future products and technology, and could result in either an injunction prohibiting their manufacture or future sales or an obligation on our part to pay royalties and/or other forms of compensation to third parties, which could be significant.

There is considerable intellectual property litigation in the medical technology, biotechnology, diagnostic, and pharmaceutical industries, including in the cancer detection space. Our competitors have been involved in complex patent litigation and in some cases have settled their disputes via complex licensing arrangements. In addition, there is

------

ongoing intellectual property litigation, the outcome of which could also impact future litigation involving our intellectual property or our ability to commercialize our products. We may become party to, or be threatened with, adversarial proceedings or litigation regarding intellectual property rights with respect to our products, including interference, derivation or other proceedings before the USPTO and similar bodies in other jurisdictions. Third parties may assert infringement claims against us based on existing patents or patents that may be issued in the future.

Even if we believe third-party intellectual property claims are without merit, there is no assurance that a court would find in our favor on questions of infringement, validity, enforceability or priority. In order to successfully challenge the validity of a U.S. patent in federal court, we would need to overcome a presumption of validity. As this burden is a high one requiring us to present clear and convincing evidence as to the invalidity of any such U.S. patent claim, there is no assurance that a court of competent jurisdiction would invalidate the claims of any such U.S. patent. If we are found to infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate a third party's intellectual property rights, we could be required to pay commercially significant monetary damages, obtain a license from such third party to continue developing, marketing, selling, and distributing our products, or to cease using the infringing technology. However, we may not be able to obtain any required license on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Even if we were able to obtain a license, it could be non-exclusive, thereby giving our competitors and other third parties access to the same technologies licensed to us. In addition, we could be found liable for monetary damages, including treble damages and attorneys' fees if we are found to have willfully infringed a patent. A finding of infringement, misappropriation or other violation could prevent us from commercializing our products or force us to cease some of our operations, which could materially harm our business. Claims that we have misappropriated the confidential information or trade secrets of third parties could have a similar negative impact on our business.

Even if resolved in our favor, litigation or other legal proceedings relating to intellectual property claims may cause us to incur significant expenses and could distract our personnel from their normal responsibilities. Such litigation or proceedings could substantially increase our operating losses and reduce the resources available for development activities or any future sales, marketing, or distribution activities. We may not have sufficient financial or other resources to conduct such litigation or proceedings adequately. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of such litigation or proceedings more effectively than we can because of their greater financial resources and more mature and developed intellectual property portfolios. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***If we fail to comply with our obligations in the agreements under which we may license intellectual property rights from third parties or otherwise experience disruptions to our business relationships with our future licensors, we could lose license rights that are important to our business.***

We may need to obtain licenses from others to advance our research or allow commercialization of our products or technology without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property or proprietary rights of third parties. It is possible that we may be unable to obtain such licenses at a reasonable cost or on reasonable terms, if at all. In that event, we may be required to expend significant time and resources to redesign our technology or to develop or license replacement technology, any of which may not be feasible on a technical or commercial basis. If we are unable to obtain or maintain applicable licenses, we may be unable to commercialize certain of our products or continue to utilize our technology, which could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

In addition, license, collaboration, development, research services and similar agreements can impose various development, diligence, commercialization, payment and other obligations on us. License agreements may require us to meet development timelines, or to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to develop and/or commercialize certain products. Despite our efforts, future licensors might conclude that we have materially breached our obligations under such agreements or our sublicensees may fail to fulfill their obligations to us or materially breach related sublicense agreements, and our future licensors might therefore terminate the license agreements or otherwise modify our rights under those agreements, thereby removing or limiting our ability to develop and commercialize tests and technology covered by these license agreements or resulting in litigation. If our licenses are terminated, or if the underlying patents or other intellectual property fail to provide the anticipated market exclusivity, competitors or other third parties may have the freedom to seek regulatory approval of, and to market, tests highly similar to ours, or we may be required to cease commercialization of our products or use of our technology. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

------

In addition, the agreements under which we may license or otherwise obtain rights to intellectual property or technology from third parties are complex, and certain provisions in such agreements may be susceptible to multiple interpretations, which may lead to disputes between us and our future licensor, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the scope of rights granted under the agreement and other interpretation-related issues;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our financial and other obligations under the agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether and the extent to which our test, product and/or technology infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate the intellectual property of the future licensor that is not subject to the agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the sublicensing of patents and other rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our diligence and other obligations under the agreement and what activities satisfy those obligations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the inventorship and ownership of inventions and know-how resulting from the joint creation or use of the intellectual property by our partners and our future licensors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the priority of invention of patented technology.

The resolution of any contract disagreement that may arise could narrow what we believe to be the scope of our rights to the relevant intellectual property or technology or increase what we believe to be our financial or other obligations under the relevant agreement, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. If we are required to engage in litigation to enforce or defend our rights under our license or other agreements, even if we are successful, such litigation could require significant financial resources, divert the attention of management and harm our business. Moreover, if disputes over intellectual property that we have licensed or otherwise obtained rights to prevent or impair our ability to maintain our current arrangements on commercially acceptable terms, or at all, we may be unable to successfully commercialize the affected product or technology. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

***Our use of open-source software could subject our proprietary technology to unwanted open-source license conditions, subject us to possible litigation or otherwise negatively impact our business.***

A portion of the software powering our CRC test incorporates open-source software, and we may incorporate open-source software into other offerings or products in the future. If an author or other third party that distributes such open-source software were to allege that we had not complied with the conditions of one or more of these licenses, we could be required to incur significant legal expenses defending against such allegations. Further, the outcome of such litigation may be particularly uncertain in some cases, because there is little legal precedent governing the interpretation of certain terms of common open-source licenses. In addition, if we combine our proprietary software with open-source software in a certain manner, under some open-source licenses, under certain circumstances we could be required to release the source code of our proprietary software, which could substantially help our competitors develop products that are similar to or better than ours and harm our business. The use of open-source software can also lead to greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open-source licensors generally do not provide warranties or controls on the origin of software which, thus, may contain security vulnerabilities or infringing or broken code.

#### Developments in patent law could diminish the value of our future patents or otherwise have a negative impact on our business.
Changes in either the patent laws or interpretation of the patent laws in the U.S. or other jurisdictions could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of patent applications and the enforcement or defense of issued patents. Assuming that other requirements for patentability are met, prior to March 2013, in the U.S., the first to invent the claimed invention was entitled to the patent, while outside the U.S., the first to file a patent application was entitled to the patent. After March 2013, under the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (the "***America Invents Act***") enacted in September 2011, the U.S. transitioned to a first-inventor-to-file system in which, assuming that other requirements for patentability are met, the first inventor to file a patent application will be entitled to the patent on an invention regardless of whether a third party was the first to invent the claimed invention.

This requires us to be cognizant of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Since patent applications in the U.S. and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing or until issuance, we cannot be certain that we were the first to either file any patent application related to our products or technologies or invent any of the inventions claimed in our patent applications or future patents.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
In addition, the patent position of companies in our field is particularly uncertain. From time to time, the U.S. Supreme Court, other federal courts, the U.S. Congress, the USPTO, or applicable authorities in other jurisdictions may change the standards of patentability and any such changes could have a negative impact on our business.

There have been various precedential decisions regarding patentable subject matter, which may be relevant to patents in the medical diagnostics and computer-implemented applications space. As a result, our efforts to seek patent protection for our technologies and products may be impacted by the evolving case law and guidelines/procedures issued by the USPTO, or authorities in other jurisdictions based on such changes in the law.

Further, the U.S. Congress has periodically sought to pass bills concerning subject matter eligible for patent protection. We cannot fully predict the impact that any such new law may have on our ability to obtain patent protection on our products and technologies, and our ability to operate in view of the patents controlled by third parties. These and other substantive changes to U.S. and foreign patent law and policy could affect our susceptibility to patent infringement claims and our ability to obtain patents and, if obtained, to enforce or defend them, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

#### Patent terms may be inadequate to protect our competitive position on our products for an adequate amount of time.
Patents have a limited lifespan in all jurisdictions around the world. In the U.S., if all maintenance fees are timely paid, the natural expiration of a patent is generally 20 years from its earliest U.S. non-provisional filing date. Extensions may be available for certain delays during the patent examination process, but the life of a patent, and the protection it affords, is limited. Even if patents covering our products or technology are obtained, once the patent life has expired for a product, we may be open to competition. Given the amount of time required for the development, testing and regulatory review of new products and technology, patents protecting such products or technology might expire before or shortly after such products are commercialized. As a result, our patent portfolio may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing products or technologies similar or identical to ours for a meaningful amount of time, or at all.

***Future issued patents covering our products and other technologies could be found invalid or unenforceable if challenged in court or before administrative bodies in the U.S. and abroad.***

If we initiate legal proceedings against a third party to enforce a future patent, the defendant could counterclaim that our asserted patent is invalid or unenforceable. In patent litigation in the U.S., defendant counterclaims alleging invalidity or unenforceability are commonplace. Third parties may raise claims challenging the validity or enforceability of our future patents before administrative bodies in the U.S. or abroad, even outside the context of litigation. Such mechanisms include re-examination, post-grant review, *inter partes* review, interference proceedings, derivation proceedings, and equivalent proceedings in foreign jurisdictions (such as opposition proceedings). Such proceedings could result in the revocation of, cancellation of, or amendment to our future patents in such a way that they no longer cover our technologies or products.

As of June 1, 2023, the Unitary Patent became available in Europe, which makes it possible for a patentee to obtain patent protection in up to 25 EU Member states by submitting a single request to the European Patent Office upon grant of a European patent. This is an alternative to the current, more expensive system of selecting and paying for validation of a patent in each specific EU state of interest. While a Unitary Patent will allow protection of numerous European states in a single patent, it also allows a competitor the possibility of invalidating a single patent in all European states in a single proceeding (unlike the current national court system where each EU country national patent must be challenged in the corresponding national court). The Unified Patent Court ("***UPC***") also became available in Europe as of June 1, 2023. The UPC is an international court set up by participating EU Member States to address infringement and validity of both Unitary Patents and European national patents in a single court, as an alternative to the current system where infringement and validity is determined in national courts specific to the jurisdiction in which the European patent has been validated.

Since the Unitary Patent and the UPC are new, these are both untested, and it is currently unknown what effects these may have on the European patent system and how the related law may develop over time. It is not yet known if the UPC will be more or less favorable to patentees than national courts for each European jurisdiction. If we select validation of any allowed European patent as Unitary Patent, that patent will be governed by the UPC. For each European patent that is validated in an EU member state and not as a Unitary Patent, it is possible to opt out of the UPC by June 1, 2023, or even after this date (and there is a one-time option to opt back into the UPC). If we have not opted out of the UPC for any of our European patents, and a competitor brings an infringement or validity proceeding against

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
us in the UPC, we will no longer be able opt out of the UPC, nor will we have the option to move the proceeding out of the UPC to a national court. If the UPC turns out to be a less favorable court compared to the current national courts, this could increase the chances that we lose the infringement or validity proceeding. If the UPC turns out to be a more favorable court than the current national courts, we have the option to have the UPC as our governing court, or to use the one-time option to opt back into the UPC if we had initially opted out. However, if a proceeding is brought by a competitor in a national court before we opt back into the UPC, we will no longer be able to opt into the UPC, nor will we have the option to move the proceeding out of the national court to the UPC. This could increase the chances that we lose the infringement or validity proceeding. While we plan to monitor the status of the law developing around Unitary Patents and the UPC, and seek guidance from time-to-time from European counsel, this uncertainty could weaken our patent protection in Europe.

The outcome of legal assertions of invalidity and unenforceability is unpredictable. For example, we cannot be certain that there is no invalidating prior publications or inventions of which we or the patent examiner were unaware during prosecution. If a third party were to prevail on a legal assertion of invalidity or unenforceability, we would lose at least part, and perhaps all, of the patent protection on our products or other technologies. Any such loss of patent protection could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***We may be subject to claims asserting that our employees or contractors have infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated the intellectual property or proprietary rights of their former employers or claims asserting an ownership interest in what we regard as our own intellectual property.***

Our former, current, and future employees and contractors may have been previously employed at universities or other biotechnology, diagnostic technology or pharmaceutical companies, including our competitors or potential competitors and strategic partners. Although we try to ensure that our employees and contractors do not use the proprietary information or know-how of others in their work for us, we may be subject to claims that an employee or contractor has used or disclosed intellectual property or proprietary rights, including trade secrets or other proprietary information, of such employee's or contractor's former employer. Litigation, which would be expensive, time-consuming, a distraction to management, and uncertain of outcome, may be necessary to defend against these claims.

In addition, while it is our policy to require our employees and contractors who may be involved in the development of intellectual property to execute agreements assigning such intellectual property to us, we may be unsuccessful in executing such an agreement with each party who in fact develops intellectual property that we regard as our own, and any such agreement may not be self-executing. Such agreements may be breached, and we may be forced to bring claims against third parties or current or former employees or contractors, or defend claims they may bring against us, to determine the ownership of what we regard as our intellectual property.

If we fail in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel, or be required to obtain a license, which may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Even if we are successful in prosecuting or defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management, which could harm our business.

#### Intellectual property litigation may lead to unfavorable publicity that harms our reputation and causes the market price of our common stock to decline.
During the course of any intellectual property litigation or proceeding, there could be public announcements of the initiation of the litigation as well as results of hearings, rulings on motions, and other interim proceedings in the litigation. If securities analysts or investors regard these announcements as negative, the perceived value of our existing products, programs or intellectual property could be diminished. Accordingly, the market price of shares of our common stock may decline. Such announcements could also harm our reputation or the market for our future products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

#### We may become involved in lawsuits to protect, enforce or defend our intellectual property, which could be expensive, time-consuming and unsuccessful.
Competitors or other third parties may infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate our future patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets or other intellectual property. To counter infringement or other violations, we may be required to file claims, which can be expensive and time-consuming. Any such claims could provoke these parties to assert counterclaims against us, including claims alleging that we infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate their patents

------

or other intellectual property rights. In addition, in a patent infringement proceeding, a court or administrative body may decide that one or more of the patents we assert is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, construe the patent's claims narrowly or refuse to prevent the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that our patents do not cover the technology. Similarly, if we assert trademark infringement claims, a court or administrative body may determine that the marks we have asserted are invalid or unenforceable or that the party against whom we have asserted trademark infringement has superior rights to the marks in question. In such a case, we could ultimately be forced to cease use of such marks. In any intellectual property litigation, even if we are successful, any award of monetary damages or other remedy we receive may not adequately compensate us for the losses that we suffer. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during such litigation.

Further, we may be required to defend the validity of our future patents through procedures created to allow third parties to attack the validity of a patent at the USPTO. An adverse determination in any such submission or proceeding could reduce the scope or enforceability of, or invalidate, our patent rights, which could adversely affect our competitive position. Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in U.S. federal courts necessary to invalidate a patent claim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidence would be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action.

Our future patents may be challenged, narrowed, invalidated or circumvented. If our future patents are invalidated or otherwise limited or will expire prior to the commercialization of our products, other companies may be better able to develop products that compete with ours, which could adversely affect our competitive position, business prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

The following are non-limiting examples of litigation and other adversarial proceedings or disputes that we could become a party to involving our future patents:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we or our collaborators may initiate litigation or other proceedings against third parties to enforce our patent rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• third parties may initiate litigation or other proceedings seeking to invalidate our patents or to obtain a declaratory judgment that their products or technology does not infringe our future patents or that such patents are invalid or unenforceable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• third parties may initiate, oppositions, *inter partes* review, post grant review, or reexamination proceedings challenging the validity or scope of our patent rights, requiring us or our collaborators and/or future licensors to participate in such proceedings to defend the validity and scope of our patents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• there may be a challenge or dispute regarding inventorship or ownership of future patents identified as being owned by us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at our initiation or at the initiation of a third party, the USPTO may initiate an interference between patent applications or future patents owned by us and those of our competitors or other third parties, requiring us or our collaborators and/or future licensors to participate in an interference proceeding to determine the priority of invention, which could jeopardize our patent rights; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• third parties may seek approval to market products similar to our products prior to expiration of relevant future patents owned by us, requiring us to defend and enforce our future patents, including by filing lawsuits alleging patent infringement.

These lawsuits and proceedings would be costly and could affect our results of operations and divert the attention of our managerial, legal, and scientific personnel. There is a risk that a court or administrative body would decide that our future patents are invalid or not infringed by a third party's activities, or that the scope of certain issued claims must be limited. An adverse outcome in a litigation or proceeding involving our future patents could limit our ability to assert such patents against competitors and may curtail or preclude our ability to exclude third parties from making, using and selling similar or competitive products. We may become more susceptible to these types of lawsuits and proceedings given the proliferation of competitors and other third parties pursuing intellectual property protections in our technology space. Any of these occurrences could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

------

***If our trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, then we may not be able to build name recognition in our markets of interest and our business may be adversely affected.***

Our current or future trademarks or trade names may be challenged, infringed, circumvented or declared generic or descriptive or determined to be infringing on other marks. We may not be able to protect our rights to these trademarks and trade names or may be forced to stop using these names, which we need for name recognition by potential partners or customers in our markets of interest. During trademark registration proceedings, we may receive rejections of our applications by the USPTO or in foreign jurisdictions. Although we would typically be given an opportunity to respond to those rejections, we may be unable to overcome such rejections. In addition, in the USPTO and in comparable agencies in many foreign jurisdictions, third parties are given an opportunity to oppose pending trademark applications and to seek to cancel registered trademarks. Opposition or cancellation proceedings may be filed against our trademarks, and our trademarks may not survive such proceedings. In addition, third parties may file for registration of trademarks similar or identical to ours, thereby impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to market confusion. If they succeed in registering or developing common law rights in such trademarks, and if we are not successful in challenging such rights, we may not be able to use these trademarks to develop brand recognition of our own technologies and products. If we are unable to establish name recognition based on our trademarks and trade names, we may not be able to compete effectively, and our business may be adversely affected. We may license our trademarks and trade names to third parties, such as distributors. Although the applicable agreements may provide guidelines for how our trademarks and trade names may be used, a breach of these agreements or misuse of our trademarks and trade names by our licensees may jeopardize our rights in or diminish the goodwill associated with our trademarks and trade names.

***If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, the value of our technology could be materially adversely affected and our business could be harmed.***

We rely on patent protection as well as a combination of trademark, copyright, and trade secret protection and other contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary technologies and other intellectual property rights, all of which provide limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep any competitive advantage. If we fail to protect our intellectual property, third parties may be able to compete more effectively against us and we may incur substantial litigation costs in our attempts to recover or restrict use of our intellectual property, which may not be entirely successful, if at all.

However, trade secrets and/or confidential know-how are difficult to maintain as confidential. To maintain the confidentiality of this type of information, it is our policy to enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, advisors, collaborators, contractors, and others upon the commencement of their relationships with us. These agreements require that all confidential information developed by the individual(s) or made known to the individual by us during the course of the individual's relationship or work with us be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties. Our agreements with employees and our personnel policies also provide that any inventions conceived by the individual in the course of rendering services to us shall be our exclusive property. However, we may not obtain these agreements in all circumstances, and individuals with whom we have these agreements may not comply with their terms, intentionally or unintentionally. Thus, despite such agreement, such inventions may become assigned to third parties. In the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of our trade secrets or proprietary information, these agreements, even if obtained, may not provide meaningful protection, particularly for our trade secrets or other confidential information. To the extent that our employees, consultants, contractors or others use technology or know-how owned by third parties in their work for us, disputes may arise between us and those third parties as to the rights in related inventions. To the extent that an individual who is not obligated to assign rights in intellectual property to us or a current or future licensor is rightfully an inventor of intellectual property, we may need to obtain an assignment or a license to that intellectual property from that individual, or a third party or from that individual's assignee. Such assignment or license may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. The disclosure of our trade secrets could impair our competitive position and may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Enforcing a claim that a third party obtained illegally and is using trade secrets and/or confidential know-how is expensive, time consuming and unpredictable. The enforceability of confidentiality agreements and theft of trade secret claims may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Additionally, if the steps taken to maintain our trade secrets are deemed inadequate, we may have insufficient recourse against third parties for misappropriating the trade secret. As such, adequate remedies may not exist in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of our proprietary information.

In addition, others may independently discover or develop our trade secrets and proprietary information, and the existence of our own trade secrets affords no protection against such independent discovery. Such persons may even

------

apply for patent protection in respect of the same. If successful in obtaining such patent protection, such persons could limit our use of our trade secrets and/or confidential know-how. Under certain circumstances and to guarantee our freedom to operate, we may also decide to publish some know-how to prevent others from obtaining patent rights covering such know-how.

***Anti-takeover provisions in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws that will be in effect following the Business Combination and Delaware law might discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of Freenome or changes in Freenome's management and, therefore, depress the market price of New Freenome Common Stock.***

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws that will be in effect following the Business Combination contain provisions that could depress the market price of New Freenome Common Stock by acting to discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of New Freenome or changes in New Freenome's management that the stockholders of New Freenome may deem advantageous. These provisions, among other things, include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a prohibition on stockholder actions through written consent, which requires that all stockholder actions be taken at a meeting of stockholders of New Freenome;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a requirement that special meetings of stockholders be called only by the New Freenome Board acting pursuant to a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and nominations for election to the New Freenome Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a requirement that no member of the New Freenome Board may be removed from office by New Freenome's stockholders except for cause and, in addition to any other vote required by law, upon the approval of not less than two-thirds of all outstanding shares of New Freenome's voting stock then entitled to vote in the election of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a requirement of approval of not less than two-thirds of all outstanding shares of New Freenome's voting stock to amend any bylaws by stockholder action; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the authority of the New Freenome Board to issue preferred stock on terms determined by the New Freenome Board without stockholder approval and which preferred stock may include rights superior to the rights of the holders of common stock.

In addition, Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder, generally a person which together with its affiliates owns, or within the last three years has owned, 15% of New Freenome's voting stock, for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner.

Any provision of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the Proposed Bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control could limit the opportunity for New Freenome's stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of New Freenome capital stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for New Freenome Common Stock.

***If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.***

The trading market for our common stock depends in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If industry analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, the trading price for our common stock could be adversely affected. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our common stock price would likely decline.

#### We do not intend to pay dividends on our capital stock.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. In addition, our ability to pay cash dividends on our capital stock may be prohibited or limited by the terms of any current or future debt financing arrangement. Any return to stockholders will therefore be limited to the increase, if any, in the price of our common stock.

***If the Mergers do not qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, holders of Freenome's securities may be required to pay substantial U.S. federal income taxes.***

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers generally will depend on whether the Mergers, taken together, qualify as a "reorganization" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the Mergers fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, U.S. Holders (as defined in "*Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations*") generally would recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the Freenome Common Stock exchanged for New Freenome Common Stock in the Mergers. For a more complete discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers, please carefully review the information set forth below under "*Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—U.S. Holders—Tax Consequences of the Mergers to U.S. Holders of Freenome Common Stock*").

#### General risk factors
***If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, stockholders could lose confidence in our financial and other public reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our common stock.***

Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be reevaluated frequently. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. We have started the process of documenting, reviewing and improving our internal controls and procedures for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. In addition, any testing by us conducted in connection with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or any subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses or that may require prospective or retroactive changes to our financial statements or identify other areas for further attention or improvement. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

We will be required to disclose changes made in our internal controls and procedures on a quarterly basis and our management will be required to assess the effectiveness of these controls annually. However, for as long as we are an emerging growth company or a non-accelerated filer, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. An independent assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting could detect problems that our management's assessment might not. Undetected material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting could lead to restatements of our financial statements and require us to incur the expense of remediation.

#### Unfavorable global economic conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition, stock price and results of operations.
U.S. and global markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruptions (including as a result of actual or perceived changes in interest rates, inflation and macroeconomic uncertainties), which has included severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, high inflation, uncertainty about economic stability, global supply chain disruptions, and increases in unemployment rates. International trade disputes, including threatened or implemented tariffs by the Trump administration and threatened or implemented tariffs by foreign countries in retaliation, could adversely impact our business. Trade disputes could also adversely impact supply chains which could now or in the future increase costs for us or delay delivery of key inventories and supplies. Trade disputes can also be highly disruptive to global financial markets. The length and impact of the ongoing trade disputes and military conflicts are highly unpredictable. We continue to assess the legislation as it develops to determine whether it could have an effect on our contractual relationships. Furthermore, any disruptions to our supply chain as a result of unfavorable global economic conditions, including due to geopolitical conflicts or public

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
health crises, could negatively impact the timely execution of our commercialization activities or future clinical trials. In addition, current inflationary trends in the global economy may impact salaries and wages, costs of goods and transportation expenses, among other things, and recent and potential future disruptions in access to bank deposits or lending commitments due to bank failures may create market and economic instability. We cannot anticipate all of the ways in which the foregoing, and the current economic climate and financial market conditions generally, could adversely impact our business.

#### We may be a party to litigation in the normal course of business or otherwise, which could affect our business and financial position.
From time to time, we are a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings, claims and government investigations, and other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of our business or otherwise. Additionally, the distribution, sale, use, and results of our product could lead to liability claims. Legal proceedings can be complex and take many months, or even years, to reach resolution, with the final outcome depending on a number of variables, some of which are not within our control. From time to time, we may also be compelled to protect our business interests through the initiation of litigation against others. Litigation, whether offensive or defensive, is subject to significant uncertainty and may be expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive to our operations.

Although we will vigorously defend and advocate for ourselves in such legal proceedings, their ultimate resolution and potential financial and other impacts on us are uncertain. For these and other reasons, we may choose to settle legal proceedings and claims, regardless of their actual merit. If a legal proceeding is resolved against us, it could result in significant compensatory damages, and in certain circumstances punitive or trebled damages, disgorgement of revenue or profits, remedial corporate measures or injunctive relief imposed on us. Even if litigation is resolved in our favor, costs and disruptions to the Company may have a negative impact on business. If our existing insurance does not cover the amount or types of damages awarded, or if other resolution or actions taken as a result of a legal proceeding were to restrain our ability to operate, our financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. Any claim brought against us, with or without merit, could increase our liability insurance rates or prevent us from securing insurance coverage in the future. In addition, legal proceedings, and any adverse resolution thereof, can result in adverse publicity and damage to our reputation, which could adversely impact our business.

The amounts we record for legal contingencies can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. While we have accrued for certain potential legal liabilities, there is no guarantee that additional costs will not be incurred beyond the amounts accrued.

#### Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.
Our federal net operating loss ("***NOL***") carryforwards may be unavailable to offset future taxable income because of restrictions under U.S. tax law. Under the Tax Cut and Jobs Act, as amended by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, our federal NOLs may be carried forward indefinitely, but for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020, the deductibility of federal NOL carryforwards generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 is limited to 80% of our current year taxable income. As of December 31, 2025, we had available federal NOL carryforwards of approximately $893.0 million, which are indefinite, and $21.2 million with 2036-2037 expiration years, as well as available state NOL carryforwards of approximately $825.1 million with 2036-2045 expiration years.

In addition, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if a corporation undergoes an "ownership change" (generally defined as a cumulative change in the corporation's ownership by "5-percent shareholders" that exceeds 50 percentage points (by value) over a rolling three-year period), the corporation's ability to use its pre-change NOL carryforwards and certain other pre-change tax attributes to offset its post-change taxable income may be limited. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. We may have experienced such ownership changes in the past, and we may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of shifts in our stock ownership, some of which are outside our control. We have not conducted any studies to determine annual limitations, if any, that could result from such changes in the ownership. There is also a risk that due to regulatory changes, such as suspensions on the use of NOL carryforwards, or other unforeseen reasons, our existing NOL carryforwards could expire or otherwise be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities. Because our ability to utilize our NOL carryforwards is uncertain, this could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and results of operations.

#### Changes in tax laws or regulations or exposure to tax liabilities could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to tax in multiple U.S. tax jurisdictions and in foreign tax jurisdictions as we continue to expand internationally. As we grow, the development of our tax strategies requires additional expertise and may impact how we conduct our business. Our future effective tax rates could be unfavorably affected by changes in, or interpretations of, tax rules and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we do business or by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. Furthermore, we provide for certain tax liabilities that involve significant judgment. We are subject to the examination of our tax returns by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities, which could focus on our intercompany transfer pricing methodology as well as other matters. If our tax strategies are ineffective or we are not in compliance with domestic and international tax laws, our financial position, operating results, and cash flows could be adversely affected.

#### Risks Related to the Business Combination and PCSC
*Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in this section of this proxy statement/prospectus to the "PCSC," "we," "us" or "our" refers to PCSC prior to the Business Combination and to New Freenome and its subsidiaries following the Business Combination.* 

***Our Sponsor and our initial shareholders have entered into letter agreements with us to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote.***

Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, our Sponsor and each other initial shareholder, pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, has agreed, among other things, to vote all of their PCSC Class A Shares and PCSC Class B Shares in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal and the transactions contemplated thereby. No consideration has been or will be paid to PCSC, Freenome, Sponsor or each of PCSC's independent directors in connection with the entry into the Sponsor Letter Agreement. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, our initial shareholders own approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

***Since the initial shareholders, including PCSC's directors and officers, have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of our shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with Freenome is appropriate as our initial business combination. Such interests include that Sponsor, as well as our officers and directors, will lose their entire investment in us if our business combination is not completed.***

When you consider the recommendation of the PCSC Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the initial shareholders, including PCSC's directors and officers, have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of PCSC shareholders generally.

These interests include that our initial shareholders will lose their entire investment in us if our initial business combination is not completed (other than with respect to public shares they may have acquired or may acquire in the future), and that the initial shareholders will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination, even if it is with a less favorable target company or on less favorable terms to shareholders, rather than liquidate PCSC. Further, the personal and financial interests of the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, which is an investor in Freenome prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, as well as PCSC's officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Freenome as a business combination target and completing the Business Combination with Freenome and influencing the operation of the business following the Business Combination. In considering the recommendations of the PCSC Board to vote for the proposals, PCSC shareholders should consider these interests as well as, among other things, the interests described below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that our initial shareholders have agreed not to redeem any PCSC Class A Shares or PCSC Class B Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that our initial shareholders have agreed to vote any PCSC Class A Shares or PCSC Class B Shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal;

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the initial shareholders, including the Sponsor and certain of PCSC's officers and directors (including those that are members of the Sponsor), have invested in PCSC an aggregate of $2,887,500, comprised of the $25,000 purchase price for the 2,156,250 PCSC Class B Shares and the $2,862,500 purchase price for 286,250 private placement shares. Subsequent to the initial purchase of the PCSC Class B Shares by the Sponsor, the Sponsor transferred to each of the three independent directors 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares. Such shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination or be worthless if the Business Combination is not consummated and PCSC is liquidated by June 13, 2026 (unless such date is extended in accordance with the Existing Governing Documents);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the initial shareholders and PCSC's other current officers and directors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any ordinary shares (other than public shares subsequently acquired by them) held by them if PCSC fails to complete an initial business combination by June 13, 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Investor Rights Agreement will be entered into by the initial shareholders, being the Sponsor and PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of PCSC's existing directors and officers and requires New Freenome to maintain the in effect for a period of six years, a "tail" policy providing directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage for PCSC's existing directors and officers after the Business Combination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Sponsor and PCSC's officers and directors will lose their entire investment in PCSC and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not consummated by June 13, 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that if the trust account is liquidated, including in the event PCSC is unable to complete an initial business combination by June 13, 2026, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify PCSC to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the trust account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which PCSC has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to PCSC, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated by the June 13, 2026 and if PCSC does not otherwise amend the Existing Governing Documents to extend the time period during which PCSC may consummate a business combination, PCSC will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding PCSC Class A Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and the PCSC Board, liquidating and dissolving;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Investor Rights Agreement was entered into with the initial shareholders, the Perceptive PIPE Investor and certain Freenome stockholders, which, among other things, (a) gives the initial shareholders, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain Freenome stockholders certain registration rights, including the right to have the offer and sale of their shares of New Freenome Common Stock registered on a resale registration statement to be filed by New Freenome shortly after the consummation of the Business Combination, and (b) subjects the shares of New Freenome Common Stock beneficially owned or owned of record by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain officers and directors of PCSC and New Freenome (including any PIPE Shares or shares of New Freenome Common Stock issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement) to a 180-day lock-up period beginning on the Closing Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Sponsor Letter Agreement was executed with the initial shareholders, pursuant to which the initial shareholders, among other things, waive all adjustments to the conversion ratio set forth in the Existing Governing Documents with respect to the PCSC Class B Shares, and agreed to be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to PCSC Shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. No consideration has been or will be paid to PCSC, Freenome, Sponsor or each of PCSC's independent directors in connection with the entry into the Sponsor Letter Agreement;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Perceptive PIPE Investor has entered into a subscription agreement to purchase 5,500,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock in the PIPE Financing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement executed by the Perceptive PIPE Investor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Perceptive PIPE Investor, which is an affiliate of the Sponsor and certain of PCSC's directors and officers, has a fully diluted equity ownership stake in Freenome of 6.85% (representing shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock), which will convert into 5,615,003 shares of New Freenome Common Stock, or an approximately 4.99% equity stake in New Freenome in connection with the Business Combination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song M.D., and Harlan W. Waksal, M.D. are affiliated with the Perceptive PIPE Investor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the right of the Sponsor and the Perceptive PIPE Investor to hold shares of New Freenome Common Stock following the Business Combination, subject to the terms and conditions of the lock-up restrictions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that PCSC may be entitled to distribute or pay over funds held by PCSC outside the Trust Account to the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates prior to the Closing.

See "*Business Combination Proposal—Interests of PCSC's Directors and Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination*" for additional details.

The personal and financial interests of the initial shareholders as well as PCSC's directors and officers may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Freenome as business combination targets, completing an initial business combination with Freenome and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. In considering the recommendations of the PCSC Board to vote for the proposals, its shareholders should consider these interests.

None of the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders nor any of their respective affiliates has purchased, or currently has an intention to purchase, public shares prior to the extraordinary general meeting. However, subject to Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, at any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding PCSC or its securities, the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase public shares prior to the extraordinary general meeting. The purpose of such transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that (i) the Business Combination Proposal, each of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are approved by the requisite majorities, (ii) otherwise limit the number of public shares electing to redeem and (iii) New Freenome's net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the PIPE Financing. If such purchases occur, the public "float" of New Freenome following the Business Combination may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of the New Freenome Common Stock on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange.

In the event that the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders and/or any of their respective affiliates, subject to Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their public shares. Any public shares purchased by the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders or any of their respective affiliates would not be voted in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals, and redemptions rights (if any) over such purchased securities would be waived by the aforementioned persons. Any such purchased securities would also have a purchase price no higher than the redemption price.

Any purchases by the Sponsor and PCSC's officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates who are affiliated purchasers under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act will only be made to the extent such purchases are able to be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18, which is a safe harbor from liability for manipulation under Section 9(a)(2) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Rule 10b-18 has certain technical requirements that must be complied with in order for the safe harbor to be available to the purchaser. The Sponsor and PCSC's officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates will not make purchases of shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such

------

purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. Additionally, in the event our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates were to purchase public shares from Public Shareholders, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• this proxy statement/prospectus would disclose the possibility that our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase shares from Public Shareholders outside the redemption process, along with the purpose of such purchases;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates were to purchase shares from public shareholders, they would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through our redemption process;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• this proxy statement/prospectus would include a representation that any of our securities purchased by our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates would not possess any redemption rights with respect to such securities or, if they do acquire and possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we would disclose in a Form 8-K, before the extraordinary general meeting to approve the Business Combination, the following material items:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount of the public shares purchased outside of the redemption offer by our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates, along with the purchase price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the purpose of the purchases by our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact, if any, of the purchases by our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates on the likelihood that the Business Combination will be approved;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the identities of our shareholders who sold to our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of such shareholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold to our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of our public shares for which we have received redemption requests pursuant to our redemption offer.

***The process of taking a company public by means of a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company is different from taking a company public through an underwritten offering and may create risks for our unaffiliated investors.***

An underwritten offering involves a company engaging underwriters to purchase its shares and resell them to the public. An underwritten offering imposes statutory liability on the underwriters for material misstatements or omissions contained in the registration statement unless they are able to sustain the burden of providing that they did not know and could not reasonably have discovered such material misstatements or omissions. This is referred to as a "due diligence" defense and results in the underwriters undertaking a detailed review of the company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Going public via a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company does not involve any underwriters.

In addition, going public via a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company does not involve a book-building process as is the case in an underwritten public offering. In any underwritten public offering, the initial value of a company is set by investors who indicate the price at which they are prepared to purchase shares from the underwriters. In the case of a transaction with a special purpose acquisition company, the value of the company is established by means of negotiations between the target company, the special purpose acquisition company and, in some cases, PIPE investors who agree to purchase shares at the time of the Business Combination. The process of establishing the value of a company in a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company may be less effective than the book-building process in an underwritten public offering and also does not reflect events that may have occurred between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing. In addition, underwritten public offerings are frequently oversubscribed resulting in additional potential demand for shares in the aftermarket

------

following the underwritten public offering. There is often no such book of demand built up in connection with special purpose acquisition company transactions and no underwriters with the responsibility of stabilizing the share price, which may result in the share price being harder to sustain after the consummation of the Business Combination.

***The exercise of PCSC's directors' and officers' discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in PCSC's shareholders' best interest.***

In the period leading up to the closing of the Business Combination, events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require PCSC to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Freenome or to waive rights that PCSC is entitled to under the Business Combination Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Freenome's business, a request by Freenome to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Freenome's business and would entitle PCSC to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at PCSC's discretion, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors described in the preceding risk factors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is best for PCSC and its shareholders, as a whole, and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, PCSC does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that PCSC's directors and officers would be likely to make after shareholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further shareholder approval, PCSC will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit PCSC's shareholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its shareholders are required prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal.

***Past performance by our management team or their affiliates, including Perceptive Advisors, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp., ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp II, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp III, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV, or their respective business combination targets, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in PCSC or New Freenome.***

Past performance by our management team or their affiliates, including Perceptive Advisors, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp., ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp II, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp III, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV, or their respective business combination targets, is not a guarantee of success with respect to the Business Combination. You should not rely on the historical record of our management team or their affiliates, including Perceptive Advisors, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp., ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp II, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp III, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV, or their respective business combination targets, as indicative of the future performance of an investment in PCSC or New Freenome or the returns PCSC or New Freenome will, or is likely to, generate going forward.

***The Business Combination may be completed even though material adverse effects may result from the public announcement or completion of the proposed Business Combination, general business or economic conditions, industry-wide changes, and other causes.***

In general, either PCSC or Freenome can refuse to complete the Business Combination if there is a material adverse effect, event, change or occurrence affecting the other party between the signing date of the Business Combination Agreement and the planned closing of the Business Combination. However, certain types of changes, events, effects or occurrences do not permit either party to refuse to complete the Business Combination under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, even if such change could be said to have a material adverse effect on the relevant party. See "*The Business Combination Proposal—Material Adverse Effect*" for a description of such changes, events, effects or occurrences.

Furthermore, PCSC or Freenome may waive the occurrence of any material adverse effect affecting the other party. If a material adverse effect occurs and the parties still complete the Business Combination, New Freenome's financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

#### The Freenome Stockholders, the Sponsor and the Perceptive PIPE Investor, will have significant influence over us after completion of the Business Combination.
Based on the assumptions discussed in "*Business Combination Proposal—Ownership of New Freenome Immediately Following the Business Combination*," upon the completion of the Business Combination, (A) the Freenome Stockholders (excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor), will own, collectively, approximately 58.2% of the

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
outstanding New Freenome Common Stock, assuming that none of PCSC's outstanding Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination or approximately 61.83% of the outstanding New Freenome Common Stock, assuming the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition Redemptions Scenario in connection with the Business Combination and (B) the Sponsor and the Perceptive PIPE Investor will own, collectively, approximately 11.96% of the outstanding New Freenome Common Stock, assuming that none of PCSC's outstanding Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination or approximately 12.71% of the outstanding New Freenome Common Stock, assuming the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition Redemptions Scenario in connection with the Business Combination. Some of these persons or entities may have interests different than yours. For example, because many of these stockholders may have purchased their shares at prices substantially below the price at which shares are being sold in this transaction and have held their shares for a longer period, they may be more interested in selling the Company to an acquirer than other investors or they may want New Freenome to pursue strategies that deviate from the interests of other stockholders.

***PCSC and Freenome will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination. Whether or not the Business Combination is completed, the incurrence of these costs will reduce the amount of cash available to New Freenome for other corporate purposes.***

PCSC and Freenome have incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination. PCSC and Freenome may also incur unanticipated costs associated with the Business Combination, including costs driven by New Freenome becoming a public company and the listing of the New Freenome Common Stock on a U.S. stock exchange, and these unanticipated costs may have an adverse impact on the results of operations of Freenome following the effectiveness of the Business Combination. All expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, (x) in the case the Business Combination is consummated, will be for the account of the combined company or (y) in the case the Business Combination is not consummated, will be for the account of the party incurring such fees, expenses and costs, in each case subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

PCSC and Freenome cannot provide assurance that the benefits of the Business Combination will offset the incremental transaction costs in the near term, if at all. Additionally, the costs related to the Business Combination could be significantly higher than anticipated, which could impact the benefits of the Business Combination.

#### The Business Combination may be subject to antitrust or foreign investment laws and regulations, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The completion of the Business Combination may be subject to, among other things, the clearance by antitrust, competition, and foreign investment authorities pursuant to applicable antitrust and foreign investment laws and regulations. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. The governmental agencies from which the parties may seek certain of these approvals and consents have broad discretion in administering the governing laws and regulations. We can provide no assurance that all required approvals and consents will be obtained. Moreover, as a condition to their approval of the Business Combination, agencies may impose requirements, limitations or costs or require divestitures or place restrictions on the conduct of New Freenome's business after the closing. These requirements, limitations, costs, divestitures or restrictions could jeopardize or delay the completion of the Business Combination or reduce the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination. If Freenome and PCSC agree to any material requirements, limitations, costs, divestitures or restrictions in order to obtain any approvals required to consummate the Business Combination, these requirements, limitations, costs, divestitures or restrictions could reduce the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination. This could have a material adverse effect on New Freenome's business and results of operations.

At any time before or after consummation of the Business Combination, applicable authorities could take such action under applicable antitrust and foreign investment laws as each deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Business Combination. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under applicable antitrust and foreign investment laws under certain circumstances. We cannot assure you that the any government authority will not attempt to challenge the Business Combination on antitrust or foreign investment grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, we cannot assure you as to its result.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
***The Business Combination may be delayed or ultimately prohibited since such initial business combination may be subject to regulatory review and approval, including pursuant to foreign investment regulations and review by governmental entities such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. ("CFIUS").***

Certain transactions that involve a "U.S. business" (as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 800.252) and a non-U.S. individual or entity (a "foreign person," as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 800.224) may be subject to review and approval by CFIUS. Whether a transaction is a "covered transaction" (as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 800.213), which CFIUS has jurisdiction to review depends on, among other factors, the nature and structure of the transaction, the nationality of the parties, the level of beneficial ownership interest, and the nature of any information or governance rights involved.

For example, transactions that result in "control" (as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 800.208) of a U.S. business by a foreign person are subject to CFIUS jurisdiction. CFIUS also has jurisdiction to review non-"control" transactions that afford a foreign person certain information, governance, and/or access rights in a U.S. business that has a qualifying nexus to "critical technologies," "covered investment critical infrastructure," and/or "sensitive personal data" as those terms are defined in the CFIUS regulations (31 C.F.R. §§ 800.215, 212, 241). Foreign investments in U.S. businesses that deal in "critical technology" or that involve certain foreign government interests may be subject to mandatory pre-closing CFIUS filing requirements. Failure to make a CFIUS filing where one is required may subject the transacting parties to significant civil fine. The parties believe that Freenome does not operate a TID U.S. business, as that term is defined in 31 C.F.R. § 800.248, and as a result, the parties are not required to submit a CFIUS filing with respect to the Business Combination. Nevertheless, CFIUS may determine that it has jurisdiction over the Business Combination.

CFIUS may decide to investigate, delay, or block the Business Combination, or impose conditions with respect to it, which may delay or prevent the parties from consummating the Business Combination. Because we have only a limited time to complete our initial business combination, our failure to obtain any approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate. In such event, our shareholders will miss the opportunity to benefit from the Business Combination and the potential appreciation in value of such investment. For more information, also see "*Summary—Question and Answers for Shareholders of PCSC—Who is our sponsor.*"

***Subsequent to consummation of the Business Combination, New Freenome may be required to subsequently take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and the share price of our securities, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.***

We cannot assure you that the due diligence conducted in relation to New Freenome has identified all material issues or risks associated with New Freenome, its business or the industry in which it competes, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of New Freenome's control and outside of our control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, New Freenome may incur additional costs and expenses and may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if our due diligence has identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. If any of these risks materialize, this could have a material adverse effect on New Freenome's financial condition and results of operations and could contribute to negative market perceptions about our securities or New Freenome. Accordingly, any shareholders of PCSC who choose to remain shareholders following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such shareholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by our officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the registration statement or proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

***Our ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and to be successful thereafter will be dependent upon the efforts of key personnel of New Freenome, some of whom may be from PCSC and Freenome, and some of whom may join New Freenome following the Business Combination. The loss of key personnel or the hiring of ineffective personnel after the Business Combination could negatively impact the operations and profitability of New Freenome.***

Our ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and be successful thereafter will be dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel. Although some of PCSC's key personnel may remain with the target business in senior management or advisory positions following our business combination, we expect New Freenome's current

------

management to remain in place. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in integrating and retaining such key personnel, or in identifying and recruiting additional key individuals we determine may be necessary following the Business Combination.

***The unaudited pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what New Freenome's actual financial position or results of operations would have been.***

The unaudited pro forma financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and has been prepared based on a number of assumptions including, but not limited to, Freenome being considered the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination, the debt obligations and the cash and cash equivalents of Freenome at the Closing and the number of public shares that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. Accordingly, such pro forma financial information may not be indicative of our future operating or financial performance and our actual financial condition and results of operations may vary materially from our pro forma results of operations and balance sheet contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, including as a result of such assumptions not being accurate. Additionally, the final acquisition accounting adjustments could differ materially from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented in this proxy statement/prospectus. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as compared to the information shown herein, could also change the portion of the purchase consideration allocable to goodwill and could impact the operating results of New Freenome following the Business Combination due to differences in the allocation of the purchase consideration, depreciation and amortization related to some of these assets and liabilities. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination. See "*Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information*."

***The ability of our public shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our public shares could increase the probability that the Business Combination would be unsuccessful and that you would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem your public shares.***

At the time of entering into the Business Combination Agreement, we did not know how many shareholders may exercise their redemption rights, and therefore, we needed to structure the transaction based on our expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption. The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals being obtained; (ii) the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act relating to the Business Combination Agreement having expired or been terminated; and (iii) the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition.

If a larger number of public shares are submitted for redemption than we initially expected, and the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition is not met, Freenome may elect not to consummate the Business Combination. If the Business Combination is unsuccessful, you would not receive your pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account until we liquidate the Trust Account.

#### If the conditions to the Business Combination Agreement are not met, the Business Combination may not occur.
Even if the Business Combination Agreement is approved by our shareholders, specified conditions must be satisfied or waived before the parties to the Business Combination Agreement are obligated to complete the Business Combination. For a list of the material closing conditions contained in the Business Combination Agreement, see the section entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination*."

If the Closing conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination will not occur, or will be delayed pending later satisfaction or waiver, and such non-occurrence or delay may cause us and Freenome to each lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Business Combination.

***During the pendency of the Business Combination, Freenome and PCSC are prohibited from entering into certain transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to Freenome, PCSC or their respective shareholders.***

Until the earlier of consummation of the Business Combination or termination of the Business Combination Agreement, Freenome and PCSC are subject to certain limitations on the operations of their businesses, as summarized under the section titled "*Business Combination Proposal—Covenants of the Parties.*" The limitations on Freenome's and PCSC's conduct of their businesses during this period could have the effect of delaying or preventing other strategic transactions and may, in some cases, make it impossible to pursue business opportunities that are available only for a limited time.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
***Uncertainties about the Business Combination during the pre-Closing period may cause third parties to delay or defer decisions concerning Freenome or seek to change existing arrangements.***

There may be uncertainty regarding whether the Business Combination will occur. This uncertainty may cause third parties to delay or defer decisions concerning Freenome, which could negatively affect Freenome's business, prospects and growth. Third parties may seek to change existing agreements with Freenome as a result of the Business Combination for these or other reasons.

#### The announcement and pendency of the Business Combination could adversely affect Freenome's business, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.
The announcement and pendency of the Business Combination could cause disruptions in and create uncertainty surrounding Freenome's business, including with respect to Freenome's relationships with existing and future customers, suppliers and employees, which could have an adverse effect on Freenome's business, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations, irrespective of whether the Business Combination is completed. The business relationships of Freenome may be subject to disruption as customers, suppliers and other persons with whom Freenome has a business relationship may delay or defer certain business decisions or might decide to seek to terminate, change or renegotiate their relationships or consider entering into business relationships with other parties. The risk, and adverse effect, of any such disruptions could be exacerbated by a delay in the consummation of the Business Combination.

***Because PCSC is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, in the event the Business Combination is not completed, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited.***

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the U.S. upon our directors or executive officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the U.S. courts against our directors or officers.

Currently, PCSC's corporate affairs are governed by the Existing Governing Documents, the Cayman Islands Companies Act (as the same may be supplemented or amended from time to time) and the common law of the Cayman Islands. PCSC is also subject to the federal securities laws of the U.S. The rights of shareholders to take action against our directors, actions by our minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of the PCSC Board under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the U.S. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the U.S., and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders' derivative action in a federal court of the U.S.

There is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of courts of the U.S. obtained against it or its directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the U.S. or any state in the U.S.; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against PCSC or its directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the U.S. or any state in the U.S., so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is currently no statutory enforcement or treaty between the U.S. and the Cayman Islands providing for enforcement of judgments obtained in the federal or state courts of the U.S., the courts of the Cayman Islands will in certain circumstances recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment (i) must be final and conclusive, (ii) must be given by a court of competent jurisdiction (the courts of the Cayman Islands will apply the rules of Cayman Islands private international law to determine whether the foreign court is a court of competent jurisdiction) and (iii) must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
As a result of all of the above, our shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our management, members of the PCSC Board or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a U.S. company.

***PCSC shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Freenome Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that PCSC's current shareholders have on the management of New Freenome.***

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock to be issued to Freenome Stockholders (excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor), in connection with the First Merger is estimated to be approximately 61.83% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Freenome Common Stock immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, assuming the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition Redemptions Scenario. Therefore, PCSC shareholders will experience immediate dilution. Currently, the public shareholders own approximately 77.9% of the issued and outstanding PCSC ordinary shares. As described in more detail below, assuming the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition Redemptions Scenario, and without giving effect to any dilutive instruments, such as the exercise of the Rollover Options, the vesting of the Rollover RSU Awards and the conversion of the Roche Convertible Note, it is expected that immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, the public shareholders (excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor) will hold approximately 1.74% of the issued and outstanding New Freenome Common Stock.

***The initial shareholders control the election of the PCSC Board until closing of a business combination and hold a substantial interest in PCSC. As a result, only the initial shareholders may appoint all of PCSC's directors and they may exert a substantial influence on actions requiring a shareholder vote, potentially in a manner that you do not support.***

The initial shareholders own the PCSC Class B Shares which entitle the holders thereof to appoint all of PCSC's directors prior to the closing of the initial business combination. Holders of PCSC Class B Shares have the exclusive right prior to the closing of PCSC's initial business combination to appoint PCSC's directors. Accordingly, as holders of the PCSC Class A Shares, PCSC public shareholders do not have the right to vote on the appointment of directors prior to consummation of the Business Combination. These provisions of the Existing Governing Documents may only be amended by a special resolution of the holders of the PCSC Class B Shares, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued PCSC Class B Shares present in person or represented by proxy at a general meeting of the shareholders of PCSC and entitled to vote on such matter. As a result, holders of PCSC public shares do not have any influence over the appointment of directors of PCSC prior to the closing of an initial business combination.

In addition, as a result of their substantial ownership in PCSC, the initial shareholders may exert a substantial influence on other actions requiring a shareholder vote, potentially in a manner that PCSC shareholders do not support, including amendments to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of PCSC and approval of major corporate transactions, including the Business Combination. Accordingly, the initial shareholders exert significant influence over actions requiring a shareholder vote at least until the completion of a business combination.

***The Sponsor, as well as Freenome, our directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase public shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public "float" of our PCSC Class A Shares.***

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 11,067,500 PCSC Shares issued and outstanding, which includes an aggregate of 286,250 private placement shares, which are PCSC Class A Shares, held by the Sponsor and 2,156,250 PCSC Class B Shares held by the initial shareholders, being the Sponsor and PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal).

None of the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders nor any of their respective affiliates has purchased, or currently has an intention to purchase, public shares prior to the extraordinary general meeting. However, subject to Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, at any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding PCSC or its securities, the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase public shares prior to the extraordinary general meeting. The purpose of such transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that (i) the Business Combination Proposal, each of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are approved by

------

the requisite majorities, (ii) otherwise limit the number of public shares electing to redeem and (iii) New Freenome's net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the PIPE Financing.

If such purchases occur, the public "float" of New Freenome following the Business Combination may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of the New Freenome Common Stock on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange.

In the event that the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders and/or any of their respective affiliates, subject to Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their public shares. Any public shares purchased by the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders or any of their respective affiliates would not be voted in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals, and redemptions rights (if any) over such purchased securities would be waived by the aforementioned persons. Any such purchased securities would also have a purchase price no higher than the redemption price.

Any purchases by the Sponsor and PCSC's officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates who are affiliated purchasers under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act will only be made to the extent such purchases are able to be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18, which is a safe harbor from liability for manipulation under Section 9(a)(2) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Rule 10b-18 has certain technical requirements that must be complied with in order for the safe harbor to be available to the purchaser. The Sponsor and PCSC's officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates will not make purchases of shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. Additionally, in the event the Sponsor and PCSC's officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates were to purchase Public Shares from Public Shareholders, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• this proxy statement/prospectus would disclose the possibility that the Sponsor and PCSC's officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from Public Shareholders outside the redemption process, along with the purpose of such purchases;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the Sponsor and PCSC's officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates were to purchase shares from Public Shareholders, they would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through our redemption process;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• this proxy statement/prospectus would include a representation that any of our securities purchased by the Sponsor and PCSC's officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Sponsor and PCSC's officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates would not possess any redemption rights with respect to such securities or, if they do acquire and possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we would disclose in a Form 8-K, before the extraordinary general meeting to approve the Business Combination, the following material items:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ the amount of the Public Shares purchased outside of the redemption offer by our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates, along with the purchase price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ the purpose of the purchases by our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ the impact, if any, of the purchases by our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates on the likelihood that the Business Combination will be approved;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ the identities of our shareholders who sold to our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of such shareholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold to our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ the number of our Public Shares for which we have received redemption requests pursuant to our redemption offer.

------

***If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price in PCSC's initial public offering).***

Our placing of funds in the trust account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party's engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative.

Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason.

Upon redemption of our public shares, if we are unable to complete our business combination within the prescribed time frame, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the ten years following redemption. Accordingly, the per share redemption amount received by public shareholders could be less than the $10.00 per share initially held in the trust account, due to claims of such creditors. In order to protect the amounts held in the trust account, Sponsor has agreed to be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party vendor (other than our independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduces the amount of funds in the trust account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, even in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. We have not independently verified whether Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we have not asked Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations. Therefore, we cannot assure you that Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of our officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Additionally, if we are forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against us which is not dismissed, or if we otherwise enter compulsory or court supervised liquidation, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, we may not be able to return to our public shareholders $10.00 per share (which was the offering price in our initial public offering).

***The PCSC Board may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the Public Shareholders.***

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay our tax obligations, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification

------

obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the Public Shareholders may be reduced below $10.00 per public share.

***If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and we and the PCSC Board may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.***

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy/insolvency laws as either a "preferential transfer" or a "fraudulent conveyance, preference or disposition." As a result, a liquidator or a bankruptcy or other court could seek to recover all amounts received by our shareholders.

In addition, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing it and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

***If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our shareholders and the per share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.***

If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, the per share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

***Our shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.***

If we are forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders (but no more than such distributions) could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to us or our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing themselves and our company to claims, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Claims may be brought against us for these reasons.

***The Business Combination, and New Freenome after the consummation of the Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected by the recent and ongoing military action between Russia and Ukraine.***

On February 24, 2022, Russian military forces launched a military action in Ukraine, and sustained conflict and disruption in the region is likely. Although the length, impact and outcome of the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine is highly unpredictable, this conflict could lead to significant market and other disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices and supply of energy resources, instability in financial markets, supply chain interruptions, political and social instability, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences as well as increase in cyberattacks and espionage. Russia's recognition of two separatist republics in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine and subsequent military action against Ukraine have led to an unprecedented expansion of sanction programs imposed by the U.S., the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, Switzerland, Japan and other countries against Russia, Belarus, the Crimea Region of Ukraine, the so-called Donetsk People's Republic and the so-called Luhansk People's Republic.

------

The situation is rapidly evolving as a result of the conflict in Ukraine, and the U.S., the European Union, the United Kingdom and other countries may implement additional sanctions, export controls or other measures against Russia, Belarus and other countries, regions, officials, individuals or industries in the respective territories. Such sanctions and other measures, as well as the existing and potential further responses from Russia or other countries to such sanctions, tensions and military actions, could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and could adversely affect our ability to finance the Business Combination, and the business, financial condition and results of operations of New Freenome after the consummation of the Business Combination may be materially adversely affected.

***Macro-economic turbulence and instability relating to recent and ongoing global conflicts and other drivers of uncertainty may adversely affect our business, investments and results of operations and our ability to successfully consummate the Business Combination.***

A deterioration in economic conditions and related drivers of global uncertainty and change, such as reduced business activity, high unemployment, rising interest rates, housing prices, and energy prices (including the price of gasoline), increased consumer indebtedness, lack of available credit, the rate of inflation, and consumer perceptions of the economy, as well as other factors, such as terrorist attacks, protests, looting, and other forms of civil unrest, cyber attacks and data breaches, public health emergencies (such as the COVID-19 pandemic and other epidemics), extreme weather conditions and climate change, significant changes in the political environment, political instability, armed conflict (such as the ongoing military conflict between Ukraine and Russia, the geopolitical instability in Venezuela, the war in Iran and the broader conflict and escalating tensions in the Middle East) and/or public policy, including increased state, local or federal taxation, could adversely affect our financial condition, the financial condition of Freenome, or the financial condition of New Freenome if we successfully consummate the Business Combination.

***If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete our initial business combination.***

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities would be severely restricted. In addition, we would be subject to burdensome compliance requirements. We do not believe that our principal activities will subject us to regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. However, if we are deemed to be an investment company and subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. As a result, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate PCSC. Were we to liquidate, our securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in New Freenome, including any potential price appreciation of our securities.

Initially, the funds in the Trust Account had, since our initial public offering, been held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we liquidated the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and instructed Continental, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to maintain the funds in the trust account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination or the liquidation of PCSC. Interest on such deposit account is currently approximately 4.3% per annum, but such deposit account carries a variable rate and PCSC cannot assure you that such rate will not decrease or increase significantly. Following such liquidation, we have received minimal interest on the funds held in the Trust Account. However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the Trust Account still may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any. As a result, the decision to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash items has reduced the dollar amount our Public Shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of PCSC.

On January 24, 2024, the SEC issued final rules (the "***2024 SPAC Rules***"), effective as of 125 days following the publication of the 2024 SPAC Rules in the Federal Register, that formally adopted some of the SEC's proposed rules for special purpose acquisition companies "***SPACs***") that were released on March 30, 2022. In the adopting release for the 2024 SPAC Rules, the SEC provided guidance that a SPAC's potential status as an "investment company" depends on a variety of factors, such as a SPAC's duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities and "is a question of facts and circumstances" requiring individualized analysis. If we were deemed to be subject to compliance with and

------

regulation under the Investment Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. Unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we would either register as an investment company or wind down and abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead to liquidate PCSC.

***New Freenome does not have experience operating as a public company subject to U.S. federal securities laws and may not be able to adequately develop and implement the governance, compliance, risk management and control infrastructure and culture required for a public company, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.***

New Freenome does not have experience operating as a public company subject to U.S. federal securities laws. Freenome's officers and directors lack experience in managing a public company subject to U.S. federal securities laws, which makes their ability to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations uncertain. New Freenome's failure to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations could subject New Freenome to U.S. regulatory scrutiny or sanction, which could harm its reputation and share price.

Neither New Freenome nor Freenome has previously been required to prepare or file periodic or other reports with the SEC or to comply with the other requirements of U.S. federal securities laws. They have not previously been required to establish and maintain the disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting applicable to an entity that is a foreign private issuer under U.S. federal securities laws, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. New Freenome may experience errors, mistakes and lapses in processes and controls, resulting in failure to meet requisite U.S. standards.

As a public company subject to U.S. federal securities laws, New Freenome will incur significant legal, accounting, insurance, compliance, and other expenses. Compliance with reporting, internal control over financial reporting and corporate governance obligations may require members of its management and its finance and accounting staff to divert time and resources from other responsibilities to ensure these new regulatory requirements are fulfilled.

If it fails to adequately implement the required governance and control framework, New Freenome may fail to comply with the applicable rules or requirements associated with being a public company subject to U.S. federal securities laws. Such failure could result in the loss of investor confidence, could harm New Freenome's reputation, and cause the market price of New Freenome Common Stock to decline.

Due to inadequate governance and internal control policies, misstatements or omissions due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected, which could result in failures to make required filings in a timely manner or result in making filings containing incorrect or misleading information. Any of these outcomes could result in SEC enforcement actions, monetary fines or other penalties, as well as damage to New Freenome's reputation, business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

#### The price of New Freenome Common Stock may be volatile.
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the price of New Freenome Common Stock may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the industries in which New Freenome and its customers operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• variations in its operating performance and the performance of its competitors in general;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actual or anticipated fluctuations in New Freenome's quarterly or annual operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• publication of research reports by securities analysts about New Freenome or its competitors or its industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the public's reaction to New Freenome's press releases, its other public announcements and its filings with the SEC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• New Freenome's failure or the failure of its competitors to meet analysts' projections or guidance that New Freenome or its competitors may give to the market;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• additions and departures of key personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in laws and regulations affecting its business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure to comply with laws or regulations, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or failure to comply with the requirements of the relevant U.S. stock exchange;

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actual, potential or perceived control, accounting or reporting problems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving New Freenome;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in New Freenome's capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the volume of shares of New Freenome Common Stock available for public sale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, foreign currency fluctuations, international tariffs, social, political and economic risks and acts of war or terrorism; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the other factors described in this "*Risk Factors*" section or the section entitled "*Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements*."

These market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of New Freenome Common Stock regardless of the operating performance of New Freenome.

***Since the completion of PCSC's initial public offering, there has been a precipitous drop in the market values of companies formed through mergers involving special purpose acquisition companies. Accordingly, securities of companies such as ours or the ones from New Freenome following the Business Combination may be more volatile than other securities and may involve special risks.***

Since the completion of PCSC's initial public offering, there has been a precipitous drop in the market values of companies formed through mergers involving special purpose acquisition companies like ours. Throughout 2023, inflationary pressures, increases in interest rates and other adverse economic and market forces have contributed to these drops in market value. As a result, the New Freenome securities are subject to potential downward pressures, which may result in high levels of exercise of redemptions rights, reducing the cash available from the Trust Account. If there are substantial redemptions, there will be a lower public float for the shares of New Freenome Common Stock following the Closing, which may cause further volatility in the price of New Freenome securities and adversely impact New Freenome's ability to secure financing following the closing of the Business Combination.

***Securities of companies formed through mergers with special purpose acquisition companies such as the ones from New Freenome may experience a material decline in price relative to the share price of the special purpose acquisition companies prior to the merger.***

As with most special purpose acquisition companies' initial public offerings in recent years, PCSC issued shares for $10.00 per share upon the closing of its initial public offering. As with other special purpose acquisition companies, the $10.00 per share price of PCSC reflected each share having a one-time right to redeem such share for a pro rata portion of the proceeds held in the Trust Account equal to approximately $10.00 per share prior to the closing of the Business Combination. Following Closing, the shares outstanding will no longer have any such redemption right and may be dependent upon the fundamental value of the combined company, as well as other relevant factors such as market conditions and trading multiples, and the securities of other companies formed through mergers with special purpose acquisition companies in recent years may be significantly less than $10.00 per share.

***A significant portion of our total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of New Freenome Common Stock to drop significantly, even if New Freenome's business is doing well.***

Sales of a substantial number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of New Freenome Common Stock.

We may be required to file one or more registration statements prior to or shortly after the Closing to provide for the resale of certain restricted shares from time to time. As restrictions on resale end and the registration statements are available for use, the market price of New Freenome Common Stock could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. For more information, also see "*Shares Eligible For Future Sale And Securities Act Restrictions On Resale Of New Freenome Common Stock.*"

Although the Perceptive Shareholders and certain Freenome stockholders will be subject to certain restrictions regarding the transfer of New Freenome Common Stock, these shares may be sold after the expiration of the respective Lock-up Agreements. We intend to file one or more registration statements prior to or shortly after the closing of the

------

Business Combination to provide for the resale of such shares from time to time. As restrictions on resale end and the registration statements are available for use, the market price of New Freenome Common Stock could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

***We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to "emerging growth companies" or "smaller reporting companies," this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.***

We are an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies" including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, our shareholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our PCSC Class A Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Additionally, we are a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, or (ii) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

***The Business Combination will result in changes to the composition of the board of directors of Freenome, which may affect the strategy of New Freenome.***

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the composition of the New Freenome Board will change from the current boards of directors of PCSC and Freenome. This new composition of the New Freenome Board may affect New Freenome's business strategy and operating decisions upon the completion of the Business Combination.

***The Nasdaq may not list New Freenome's securities on its exchange, which could limit investors' ability to make transactions in New Freenome's securities and subject New Freenome to additional trading restrictions.***

An active trading market for New Freenome's securities following the Business Combination may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. In connection with the Business Combination, in order to continue to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq, we will be required to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq's listing

------

requirements. We will apply to have New Freenome's securities listed on Nasdaq upon consummation of the Business Combination. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet all listing requirements. Even if New Freenome's securities are listed on Nasdaq, New Freenome may be unable to maintain the listing of its securities in the future.

Each U.S. stock exchange requires issuers applying for initial listing on such exchange to comply with certain initial listing criteria. New Freenome intends to apply for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to qualify for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, pursuant to Nasdaq Rule IM-5505, New Freenome expects to be required to have at least 1 million unrestricted publicly held shares, a market value of unrestricted publicly held shares of at least $5 million and 300 unrestricted round lot stockholders. Irrespective of redemption levels in connection with the Business Combination, PCSC and Freenome expect that New Freenome will comply with the initial listing rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market by issuing at Closing a sufficient number of shares of unrestricted New Freenome Common Stock to existing Freenome stockholders that will not be directors, officers and/or 10% or larger stockholders of New Freenome. See the section entitled "*Adjournment Proposal*" for additional information.

Even if New Freenome's securities are listed on Nasdaq, Nasdaq may take steps to de-list the New Freenome Common Stock. If New Freenome fails to meet the listing requirements and Nasdaq does not list its securities on its exchange, Freenome would not be required to consummate the Business Combination. In the event that Freenome elected to waive this condition, and the Business Combination was consummated without New Freenome's securities being listed on the Nasdaq or on another national securities exchange, New Freenome could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a limited availability of market quotations for New Freenome's securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduced liquidity for New Freenome's securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a determination that New Freenome Common Stock is a "penny stock" which will require brokers trading in New Freenome Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for New Freenome's securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as "covered securities." If New Freenome's securities were not listed on Nasdaq, such securities would not qualify as covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities because states are not preempted from regulating the sale of securities that are not covered securities.

***Reports published by analysts, including projections in those reports that differ from our actual results, could adversely affect the price and trading volume of our common shares.***

Securities research analysts may establish and publish their own periodic projections for New Freenome following consummation of the Business Combination. These projections may vary widely and may not accurately predict the results we actually achieve. Our share price may decline if our actual results do not match the projections of these securities research analysts. Similarly, if one or more of the analysts who write reports on us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, our share price or trading volume could decline.

While we expect research analyst coverage following consummation of the Business Combination, if no analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and volume for our common shares could be adversely affected.

***The Perceptive PIPE Investor, an affiliate of our Sponsor, is a significant shareholder of Freenome and has a board designee, which raises potential conflicts of interest.***

We have decided to acquire Freenome, of which the Perceptive PIPE Investor, an affiliate of our Sponsor, is a shareholder and has a board designee. The PCSC Board took several steps to mitigate potential conflicts of interest, including requiring Special Committee approval of the Business Combination as a condition precedent to the PCSC Board's approval of the Business Combination. The Special Committee engaged Scalar to provide an opinion to the Special Committee that the Consideration (as defined in such opinion) to be delivered to the PCSC Unaffiliated Shareholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement is fair from a financial point of view to the holders of

------

PCSC Class A Shares (other than the Excluded Parties), without giving effect to any impact of the Business Combination on any particular holder of PCSC Class A Shares other than in its capacity as a holder of PCSC Class A Shares. However, potential conflicts of interest still exist, and as a result, the terms of the Business Combination may not be as advantageous to our public shareholders as they would be absent any conflicts of interest. See the section titled "*Interests of PCSC's Directors and Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination*" for further information.

***The fairness opinion obtained by the Special Committee will not reflect changes, circumstances, developments or events that may have occurred or may occur after the date of the opinion.***

Scalar has provided a fairness opinion to the Special Committee stating that, as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on review undertaken, and other matters considered by Scalar in preparing such opinion, the Consideration (as defined in such opinion) to be paid by PCSC to the Freenome Stockholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement is fair from a financial point of view to (1) the PCSC Class A Shareholder (for purposes of such opinion and this summary, other than the Excluded Parties), without giving effect to any impact of the Business Combination on any particular PCSC Class A Shareholder other than in its capacity as a PCSC Class A Shareholder, and (2) PCSC.

The Special Committee has not obtained an updated fairness opinion as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus from Scalar, and the Special Committee does not expect to receive an updated fairness opinion prior to the completion of the Business Combination.

The opinion does not reflect changes, circumstances, developments or events that may have occurred or may occur after the date of the opinion, including changes in the operations and prospects of PCSC or Freenome, regulatory or legal changes, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of PCSC and Freenome and on which the fairness opinion was based, and that may alter the value of PCSC and Freenome or the prices of PCSC Class A Shares or Freenome shares prior to consummation of the Transaction. The value of PCSC Class A Shares and Freenome shares has fluctuated since, and could be materially different from its value as of, the date of Scalar's opinion, and Scalar's opinion does not address the prices at which PCSC Class A Shares, PCSC Class B Shares, or other securities or financial instruments of or relating to PCSC may trade. The opinion does not speak as of the time the Business Combination will be completed or as of any date other than the date of such opinion. The Special Committee does not anticipate asking Scalar to update Scalar's opinion, and Scalar does not have an obligation or responsibility to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion based on circumstances, developments or events that may have occurred or may occur after the date of the opinion. The written opinion of Scalar is attached as Annex L to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated by reference herein.

***We are subject to and New Freenome will be subject to changing law and regulations regarding regulatory matters, corporate governance and public disclosure that have increased both PCSC's costs and the risk of non-compliance and will increase both New Freenome's costs and the risk of non-compliance.***

We are and New Freenome will be subject to rules and regulations by various governing bodies, including, for example, the SEC, which are charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded, and to new and evolving regulatory measures under applicable law. Our efforts to comply with new and changing laws and regulations have resulted in, and New Freenome's efforts to comply likely will result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from seeking a business combination target.

Moreover, because these laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance becomes available. This evolution may result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and additional costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to New Freenome's disclosure and governance practices. If we fail to address and comply with these regulations and any subsequent changes, we may be subject to penalty and our business may be harmed.

#### Risks Related to the Consummation of the Domestication
*Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in this section of this proxy statement/prospectus to "we," "us" or "our" refers to PCSC prior to the Business Combination and to New Freenome and its subsidiaries following the Business Combination.* 

#### The Domestication may result in adverse tax consequences for holders of public shares.
U.S. Holders (as defined in "*Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations*") may be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a result of the Domestication. Because the Domestication will occur after the PCSC Shareholder

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Redemptions, U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights with respect to Public Shares should not be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication. Additionally, non-U.S. Holders (as defined in "*Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations*" below) may become subject to withholding tax on any dividends paid or deemed paid on shares of New Freenome Common Stock after the Domestication.

As discussed more fully under "*Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,*" the Domestication generally should constitute a tax-deferred reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(l)(F) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "***Code***"). In the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, U.S. Holders of Public Shares will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code and, as a result:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a U.S. Holder of Public Shares whose Public Shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication, and who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Public Shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of Public Shares, generally will not recognize any gain or loss and generally will not be required to include any part of PCSC's earnings in income pursuant to the Domestication;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a U.S. Holder of Public Shares whose Public Shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of the Domestication, and who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Public Shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of Public Shares will generally recognize gain (but not loss) on the exchange of Public Shares for shares of New Freenome Common Stock pursuant to the Domestication. As an alternative to recognizing gain, such U.S. Holders may file an election to include in income as a dividend the "all earnings and profits amount" (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to their Public Shares, provided certain other requirements are satisfied. PCSC does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a U.S. Holder of Public Shares who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Public Shares entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of Public Shares will generally be required to include in income as a dividend the "all earnings and profits amount" (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to its Public Shares. Any such U.S. Holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, effectively be exempt from taxation on a portion or all of the deemed dividend pursuant to Section 245A of the Code. PCSC does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication.

Furthermore, even in the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a U.S. Holder of Public Shares may, in certain circumstances, still recognize gain (but not loss) upon the exchange of its Public Shares for shares of New Freenome Common Stock pursuant to the Domestication under the PFIC rules of the Code. Proposed Treasury Regulations with a retroactive effective date have been promulgated under Section 1291(f) of the Code which generally require that a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC must recognize gain equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of New Freenome Common Stock received in the Domestication over the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the corresponding Public Shares surrendered in exchange therefor, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. Because PCSC is a blank check company with no current active business, we believe that PCSC is likely to be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, these proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, may require a U.S. Holder of Public Shares to recognize gain on the exchange of such Public Shares for shares of New Freenome Common Stock pursuant to the Domestication, unless such U.S. Holder has made certain tax elections with respect to such U.S. Holder's Public Shares. The tax on any such gain so recognized would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on complex rules designed to offset the tax deferral to such U.S. Holder on the undistributed earnings, if any, of PCSC. It is not possible to determine at this time whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted. For a more complete discussion of the potential application of the PFIC rules to U.S. Holders as a result of the Domestication, see the discussion in the section entitled "*Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—U.S. Holders—Tax Consquences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders of Public Shares—PFIC Considerations.*"

In the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that should qualify as a tax-deferred reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, U.S. Holders will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code and, as a

result: a U.S. Holder who on the day of the Domestication beneficially owns (actually and constructively) public shares with a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication generally will not recognize any gain or loss and will not be required to include any part of PCSC's earnings in income in respect of the Domestication; a U.S. Holder who on the day of the Domestication beneficially owns (actually and constructively) public shares with a fair market value of $50,000 or more, but less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote and less than 10% or more of the total value of all classes of our stock, generally will recognize gain (but not loss) in respect of the Domestication as if such U.S. Holder exchanged its public shares for shares of New Freenome Common Stock in a taxable transaction, unless such U.S. Holder elects in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations to include in income as a deemed dividend the "all earnings and profits amount" (as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 367(b) of the Code) attributable to the public shares held directly by such U.S. Holder; and a U.S. Holder who on the day of the Domestication beneficially owns (actually or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of our stock, will generally be required to include in income as a deemed dividend the "all earnings and profits amount" attributable to the public shares held directly by such U.S. Holder; however, any such U.S. Holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, effectively be exempt from taxation on a portion or all of the deemed dividend pursuant to Section 245A of the Code (participation exemption).

Additionally, if PCSC were to be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, certain U.S. Holders may be subject to adverse tax consequences as a result of the Domestication. However, provided the Domestication is completed in 2026, PCSC believes that it is likely that it will not be classified as a PFIC because it will qualify for an exception to the PFIC rules known as the "start-up exception." The requirement to qualify for the start-up exception and the potential application of the PFIC rules to the Domestication are discussed more fully under "*Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—U.S. Holders—Tax Consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders of Public Shares—PFIC Considerations.*"

**All holders are urged to consult their tax advisor for the tax consequences of the Domestication to their particular situation. For a more detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences associated with the Domestication, see "*Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations*."** 

***Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of New Freenome Common Stock arising under the DGCL as well as Proposed Governing Documents will differ from and may be less favorable to the rights of holders of PCSC Class A Shares arising under Cayman Islands law as well as our current memorandum and articles of association.***

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of New Freenome Common Stock will arise under the Proposed Governing Documents as well as the DGCL. Those new governing documents and the DGCL contain provisions that differ in some respects from those in the Existing Governing Documents and Cayman Islands law and, therefore, some rights of holders of New Freenome Common Stock could differ from the rights that holders of PCSC Class A Shares currently possess. For instance, while class actions are generally not available to shareholders under Cayman Islands law, such actions are generally available under the DGCL. This change could increase the likelihood that New Freenome becomes involved in costly litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on New Freenome.

In addition, there are differences between the Proposed Governing Documents of New Freenome and the current constitutional documents of PCSC. For a more detailed description of the rights of holders of New Freenome Common Stock and how they may differ from the rights of holders of PCSC Class A Shares, please see "*Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights*." The forms of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws of New Freenome are attached as **Annex H** and **Annex I**, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus, and we urge you to read them.

------

***Delaware law and New Freenome's Proposed Governing Documents contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions, that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.***

The Proposed Governing Documents that will be in effect upon consummation of the Business Combination, and the DGCL, contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by the New Freenome Board and therefore depress the trading price of New Freenome Common Stock. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the current members of the New Freenome Board or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in our management. Among other things, the Proposed Governing Documents include provisions regarding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of the New Freenome Board to issue shares of preferred stock, including "blank check" preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the limitation of the liability of, and the indemnification of, New Freenome's directors and officers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders after such date and could delay the ability of stockholders to force consideration of a stockholder proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by a majority of the entire New Freenome Board, which could delay the ability of stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of board of directors and stockholder meetings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of the New Freenome Board to amend the bylaws, which may allow the New Freenome Board to take additional actions to prevent an unsolicited takeover and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend the bylaws to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to the New Freenome Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders' meeting, which could preclude stockholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders and delay changes in the New Freenome Board, and also may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer's own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of New Freenome.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in the New Freenome Board or management.

In addition, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL, which may prohibit certain stockholders holding 15% or more of New Freenome's outstanding capital stock from engaging in certain business combinations with us for a specified period of time.

***New Freenome's Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will designate a state or federal court located within the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between New Freenome and its stockholders, which could limit New Freenome's stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with New Freenome or its directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents.***

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, which will be in effect upon consummation of the Business Combination, provides that, unless New Freenome consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for state law claims for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of New Freenome, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of New Freenome to New Freenome or New Freenome's stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or Proposed Bylaws, (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or Proposed Bylaws, or (v) any action asserting a claim against New Freenome governed

------

by the internal affairs doctrine. The forgoing provisions will not apply to any claims arising under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act and, unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts will be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act.

This choice of forum provision in our Proposed Certificate of Incorporation may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with New Freenome or any of New Freenome's directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provisions, and the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies' charter documents has been challenged in legal proceedings. It is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable, and if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, New Freenome may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm New Freenome's business, results of operations and financial condition.

#### Risks Related to the Redemption
*Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in this section of this proxy statement/prospectus to "we," "us" or "our" refers to PCSC prior to the Business Combination and to New Freenome and its subsidiaries following the Business Combination.* 

***Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline. If shareholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account.***

A public shareholder will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if such public shareholder: (i) holds public shares; (ii) submits a written request to the PCSC transfer agent in which it (a) requests that PCSC redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash, and (b) identifies itself as a beneficial holder of the public shares and provides its legal name, phone number and address; and (iii) delivers its public shares to the PCSC transfer agent physically or electronically through DTC. Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their public shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2026 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a shareholder's broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and the PCSC transfer agent will need to act to facilitate this request. It is PCSC's understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from PCSC's transfer agent. However, because PCSC does not have any control over this process or over DTC, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, public shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the public shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to the PCSC transfer agent, PCSC will redeem such public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account established at the consummation of our initial public offering, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the trust account not previously released to PCSC for permitted withdrawals, divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares in issue. Please see the section entitled "*Extraordinary General Meeting of PCSC—Redemption Rights*" for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

***If a public shareholder fails to receive notice of PCSC's offer to redeem public shares in connection with the Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.***

If, despite PCSC's compliance with the proxy rules, a public shareholder fails to receive PCSC's proxy materials, such public shareholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem his, her or its public shares. In addition, the proxy materials that PCSC is furnishing to holders of public shares in connection with the Business Combination describe the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem the public shares. In the event that

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
a public shareholder fails to comply with these procedures, its public shares may not be redeemed. Please see the section entitled "*Extraordinary General Meeting of PCSC—Redemption Rights*" for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

***PCSC does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to complete the Business Combination even if a substantial majority of PCSC's shareholders do not support it.***

The Existing Governing Documents do not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, however the Business Combination Agreement includes a mutual condition that, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the PIPE Financing and any PCSC shareholder redemptions, PCSC must have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) immediately after the Effective Time.

As a result, PCSC may be able to complete the Business Combination even though a substantial portion of public shareholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no agreements with respect to the private purchase of public shares by PCSC or the persons described above have been entered into with any such investor or holder. PCSC will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the extraordinary general meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons. For more information, also see "*—The Sponsor, as well as Freenome, and their respective directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase Public Shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public "float" of our PCSC Class A Shares*."

***If you or a "group" of shareholders of which you are a part are deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 15% of the public shares, you (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of the public shares.***

A public shareholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group's shares, in excess of 15% of the public shares. In order to determine whether a shareholder is acting in concert or as a group with another shareholder, PCSC will require each public shareholder seeking to exercise redemption rights to certify to PCSC whether such shareholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other shareholder. Such certifications, together with other public information relating to stock ownership available to PCSC at that time, such as Section 13D, Section 13G and Section 16 filings under the Exchange Act, will be the sole basis on which PCSC makes the above-referenced determination. Your inability to redeem any such excess shares will reduce your influence over PCSC's ability to consummate the Business Combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in PCSC if you sell such excess shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to such excess shares if PCSC consummates the Business Combination. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares aggregating to more than 15% of the public shares and, in order to dispose of such excess shares, would be required to sell your stock in open market transactions, potentially at a loss. PCSC cannot assure you that the value of such excess shares will appreciate over time following the Business Combination or that the market price of the public shares will exceed the per-share redemption price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shareholders may challenge PCSC's determination as to whether a shareholder is acting in concert or as a group with another shareholder in a court of competent jurisdiction.

However, PCSC's shareholders' ability to vote all of their shares (including such excess shares) for or against the Business Combination is not restricted by this limitation on redemption.

***There is no guarantee that a shareholder's decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account will put the shareholder in a better future economic position.***

PCSC can give no assurance as to the price at which a shareholder may be able to sell its public shares in the future following the completion of the Business Combination or any alternative business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in PCSC share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a shareholder of PCSC might realize

------

in the future had the shareholder not redeemed its shares. Similarly, if a shareholder does not redeem its shares, the shareholder will bear the risk of ownership of the public shares after the consummation of any initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that a shareholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A shareholder should consult the shareholder's own financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.

***The securities in which we invest the funds held in the trust account could bear a negative rate of interest, which could reduce the value of the assets held in trust such that the per-share redemption amount received by public shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share.***

The proceeds held in the Trust Account will be held in cash, including in demand deposit accounts at a bank, or invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. While short-term U.S. government treasury obligations currently yield a positive rate of interest, they have briefly yielded negative interest rates in recent years. Central banks in Europe and Japan pursued interest rates below zero in recent years, and the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve has not ruled out the possibility that it may in the future adopt similar policies in the U.S. In the event that we are unable to complete our initial business combination or make certain amendments to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, our public shareholders are entitled to receive their pro-rata share of the proceeds held in the Trust Account, plus any interest income, net of permitted withdrawals (less, in the case we are unable to complete our initial business combination, $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses). Negative interest rates could reduce the value of the assets held in trust such that the per-share redemption amount received by public shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share.

#### Risks if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved
***If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to authorize the consummation of the Business Combination and the Domestication, the chairman of the PCSC Board will not have the ability to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the Business Combination will not be approved, and, therefore, the Business Combination may not be consummated.***

The PCSC Board is seeking approval to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates if, at the extraordinary general meeting, based upon the tabulated votes, there are insufficient votes to approve each of the Condition Precedent Proposals. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, the chairman of the PCSC Board will not have the ability to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date and, therefore, will not have more time to solicit votes to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals. In such events, the Business Combination would not be completed.

#### Risks if the Domestication and the Business Combination are not Consummated
*References in this section to "we," "us" and "our" refer to PCSC.* 

***If we are not able to complete the Business Combination with Freenome nor able to complete another business combination by June 13, 2026, in each case, as such date may be extended pursuant to our Existing Governing Documents, we would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and we would redeem our PCSC Class A Shares and liquidate the trust account, in which case our public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share.***

If we are not able to complete the Business Combination with Freenome nor able to complete another business combination by June 13, 2026, in each case, as such date may be extended pursuant to our Existing Governing Documents we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 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 earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to the PCSC for permitted withdrawals less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, our public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share.

***You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the trust account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, you may be forced to sell your public shares, potentially at a loss.***

Our public shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the completion of a business combination (including the closing of the Business Combination), and then only in connection with those PCSC Class A Shares that such shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Existing Governing Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our public shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with a business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by June 13, 2026 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our public shares, and (iii) the redemption of our public shares if we have not consummated an initial business by June 13, 2026, subject to applicable law and as further described herein. Public shareholders who redeem their public shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (ii) in the preceding sentence will not be entitled to funds from the trust account upon the subsequent completion of an initial business combination or liquidation if we have not consummated an initial business combination by June 13, 2026, with respect to such public shares so redeemed. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your public shares, potentially at a loss.

***If we do not consummate an initial business combination by June 13, 2026, our public shareholders may be forced to wait until after June 13, 2026 before redemption from the trust account.***

If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination by June 13, 2026 (as such date may be extended pursuant to our Existing Governing Documents), we will distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us for permitted withdrawal, if any (less up to $100,000 of the net interest earned thereon to pay dissolution expenses), pro rata to our public shareholders by way of redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of our affairs, as further described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Any redemption of public shareholders from the trust account shall be affected automatically by function of the Existing Governing Documents prior to any voluntary winding up. If we are required to wind-up, liquidate the trust account and distribute such amount therein, pro rata, to our public shareholders, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Existing Governing Documents provide that if we are not able to consummate a Business Combination by June 13, 2026, as such date may be extended pursuant to our Existing Governing Documents, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 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 earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released for permitted withdrawals (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the PCSC Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Existing Governing Documents provide that, if we wind up for any other reason prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, we will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the trust account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands law. After pro rata distributions have been made from the trust account, director and shareholder approvals will be passed to place the company into voluntary liquidation, a director will give a declaration of solvency and a voluntary liquidator will be appointed. Thereafter, the required notices and filings must be made within the following statutory timelines: the voluntary liquidator must (i) file the shareholder resolution with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands within 15 days of it being passed; and (ii) within 28 days of the shareholder resolution being passed, provide a notice to (a) the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands; and (b) the creditors of the company via a publication in the Cayman Islands Gazette. The voluntary liquidator must present the liquidator's report and accounts to the shareholders at a final general meeting of the company and notice

------

must be published in the Gazette at least 21 days before the final general meeting. The final return is submitted to the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands within 7 days of the final general meeting. The certificate of dissolution is issued three months later, at which point the company is formally dissolved.

We have no obligation to return funds to investors prior to the date of our redemption or liquidation unless, prior thereto, we consummate our initial business combination or amend certain provisions of our Existing Governing Documents, and only then in cases where investors have sought to redeem their public shares. Only upon our redemption or any liquidation will public shareholders be entitled to distributions if we do not complete our initial business combination and do not amend our Existing Governing Documents. Our Existing Governing Documents provide that, if we wind up for any other reason prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, we will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the trust account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands law.

***If the net proceeds of our initial public offering not being held in the trust account are insufficient to allow us to operate through June 13, 2026, and we are unable to obtain additional capital, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination, in which case our public shareholders may only receive $10.00 per share.***

As of December 31, 2025 we had operating cash of approximately $865,031 and a working capital deficit of $1,346,674. We intend to use the funds held outside the trust account, which is available for use by us to cover the costs associated with identifying a target business and negotiating a business combination and other general corporate uses. In addition, as of December 31, 2025, we had total current liabilities of $2,254,244. The funds available to us outside of the trust account may not be sufficient to allow us to operate until June 13, 2026, assuming that our initial business combination is not completed during that time. Of the funds available to us, we could use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds as a down payment or to fund a "no-shop" provision (a provision in letters of intent designed to keep target businesses from "shopping" around for transactions with other companies on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into a letter of intent where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business and were subsequently required to forfeit such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise), we might not have sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to, a target business.

If we are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow funds from Sponsor, members of our management team or other third parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside the trust account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. Consequently, our public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share on our redemption of the public shares.

Neither the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals nor the Adjournment Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal.

#### Recommendation of the PCSC Board
The Special Committee, with the advice and assistance of representatives of Scalar, and its other advisors, evaluated the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

On December 4, 2025, after careful consideration, the Special Committee unanimously (i) determined that the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, each ancillary agreement, and the Business Combination were fair, advisable, and in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders as a whole (ii) recommended that the PCSC Board approve the Business Combination Agreement, each ancillary agreement, the Business Combination and the other agreements and transactions contemplated thereby and (iii) subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, recommended that the PCSC shareholders approve the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

On the same day, after careful consideration and based in part on the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, the PCSC Board unanimously determined that the Business Combination is fair, advisable, and in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders as a whole, and approved and adopted the Business Combination Agreement, each ancillary agreement, the Business Combination and the other agreements and transactions contemplated thereby. The Business Combination was not structured to require the approval of at least a majority of PCSC's unaffiliated shareholders because such a vote is not required under Cayman Islands law.

The PCSC Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting are fair, advisable, and in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders as a whole and

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote "FOR" the Business Combination Proposal, "FOR" the Domestication Proposal (in the case of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares), "FOR" the Governing Documents Proposal (in the case of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares), "FOR" the Advisory Governing Documents Proposal, "FOR" the Nasdaq Proposal, "FOR" the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, "FOR" the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and "FOR" the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting.

For a more complete description of the Special Committee's and the PCSC Board's reasons for the approval of the Business Combination and the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee and the PCSC Board, see the subsection entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—The Special Committee's and the PCSC Board's Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.*"

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of PCSC's directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders, as a whole, and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, PCSC's officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Interests of PCSC's Directors and Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination*" for a further discussion of these considerations.

#### Voting Power; Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Shareholders Entitled to Vote
PCSC shareholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the extraordinary general meeting if they owned PCSC Shares at the close of business on [•], 2026, which is the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, and will have one vote for each PCSC share owned at the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in "street name" or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 11,067,500 PCSC Shares issued and outstanding, of which 8,911,250 were PCSC Class A Shares and 2,156,250 were PCSC Class B Shares.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Sponsor and each of PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal) have agreed to, among other things, vote all of their PCSC Shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. No consideration has been or will be paid to PCSC, Freenome, the Sponsor or each of PCSC's independent directors in connection with the entry into the Sponsor Letter Agreement. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the initial shareholders collectively own 2,442,500 PCSC Shares, or approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares as follows: (i) the Sponsor owns 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares and 286,250 private placement shares, which are PCSC Class A Shares; and (ii) the PCSC independent directors each own 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares, for an aggregate of 90,000 PCSC Class B Shares. See "*Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements—Sponsor Letter Agreement*" in this proxy statement/prospectus for more information related to the Sponsor Letter Agreement

Only holders of PCSC Class B Shares may vote on the Domestication Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal and our initial shareholders hold all issued and outstanding PCSC Class B Shares.

#### Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Extraordinary General Meeting
A quorum of PCSC shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the extraordinary general meeting if one or more shareholders who together hold not less than one-third of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting are represented in person or by proxy (or if a corporation or other non-natural person by duly authorized representative or proxy) at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date, 3,689,167 PCSC Shares would be required to achieve a quorum. As of the record date, the initial shareholders owned of record an aggregate of 2,442,500 PCSC Shares, representing approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares. Therefore, an additional 1,246,667 public shares are required to establish a quorum.

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of issued and outstanding

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
PCSC Class B Shares who, being present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The holders of the PCSC Class A Shares will have no right to vote on the Domestication Proposal, in accordance with Article 34.2 of the Existing Governing Documents.

The approval of the Governing Documents Proposal requires a special resolution of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Class B Shares who, being present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, at the extraordinary general meeting. The holders of the PCSC Class A Shares will have no right to vote on the Governing Documents Proposal, in accordance with Article 34.2 of the Existing Governing Documents.

The approval of each Advisory Governing Documents Proposals requires an ordinary resolution, on a non-binding and advisory basis only, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

The approval of the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

The approval of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

Each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Consummation of the Business Combination is not conditioned upon the approval of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals or the Adjournment Proposal. Neither the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals nor the Adjournment Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal.

The initial shareholders collectively own 2,442,500 ordinary shares of PCSC, or approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares as follows: (i) the Sponsor owns 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares and 286,250 private placement shares, which are PCSC Class A Shares; and (ii) the PCSC independent directors each own 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares, for an aggregate of 90,000 PCSC Class B Shares. Accordingly, approval of the Business Combination Proposal, each of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of (i) 5,533,751 PCSC Shares if all PCSC Shares are present and entitled to vote, or (ii) 3,091,251 public shares in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders if all PCSC Shares are present and cast votes. If only the minimum quorum is present, no public shares will be required to approve such proposals.

#### Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes
Proxies that are marked "abstain" and proxies relating to "street name" shares that are returned to PCSC but marked by brokers as "not voted" will be treated as PCSC Shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal. If a shareholder does not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, its broker may not vote its shares on "non-routine" proposals, such as the Business Combination Proposal or any of the other Condition Precedent Proposals.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Voting Your Shares
Each PCSC Share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of PCSC Shares that you own. If your shares are held in "street name" or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

There are three ways to vote your PCSC Shares at the extraordinary general meeting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>you can vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card</u>. If you vote by proxy card, your "proxy," whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign, date and return the proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your shares will be voted as recommended by the PCSC Board "FOR" the Business Combination Proposal, "FOR" the Domestication Proposal (in the case of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares), "FOR" the Governing Documents Proposal (in the case of the holders of PCSC Class B Shares), "FOR" the Advisory Governing Documents Proposal, "FOR" the Nasdaq Proposal, "FOR" the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, "FOR" the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and "FOR" the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented at the extraordinary general meeting. Your proxy card must be received by PCSC not less than 48 hours before the scheduled time of the extraordinary general meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the person named in the proxy card proposes to vote. Proxy cards received after this time will not be counted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>you can attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote in person</u>. You will receive a ballot when you arrive. However, if your PCSC Shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a valid legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way PCSC can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your PCSC Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>you can vote electronically</u>. You may attend, vote and examine the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting by visiting [•] and entering the control number found on your proxy card.

#### Revoking Your Proxy; Changing Your Vote
If you are a record owner of your shares and you give a proxy, you may change or revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• you may send another proxy card with a later date provided that it is received by PCSC not less than 48 hours before the scheduled time of the extraordinary general meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the person named in the proxy card proposes to vote;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• you may notify PCSC's secretary by writing to Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp, 51 Astor Place, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10003, before the extraordinary general meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• you may attend the extraordinary general meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person, as indicated above.

#### Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares
If you are a PCSC shareholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your PCSC Shares, you may call Morrow Sodali, our proxy solicitor, by calling (800) 662-5200 (toll-free), or banks and brokers can call (203) 658-9400, or by emailing PCSC.info@investor.sodali.com.

#### Redemption Rights
Pursuant to the Existing Governing Documents, a public shareholder may request that PCSC redeem its public shares for cash contemporaneously with the vote to approve the Business Combination and prior to the Domestication. If the Business Combination is approved, PCSC will pay to the holders of any public shares that have been validly tendered or delivered for redemption a pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account not previously released to PCSC for permitted withdrawals. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Domestication shall occur at least one business day prior to the Closing Date. As a holder of public shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) hold public shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2026 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
extraordinary general meeting), (a) submit a written request to the PCSC transfer agent in which you (i) request that PCSC redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash, and (ii) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the public shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and (b) deliver your public shares to the PCSC transfer agent physically or electronically through DTC.

The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to the PCSC transfer agent in order to validly redeem its shares. Public shareholders may seek to have their public shares redeemed by PCSC, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal and whether they held PCSC Shares as of the record date or acquired them after the record date. Any public shareholder who holds PCSC Shares on or before [•], 2026 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the extraordinary general meeting) will have the right to demand that his, her or its shares be redeemed for a pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account not previously released to PCSC for permitted withdrawals. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the trust account of approximately $91,918,776.09 on January 6, 2026, the estimated per share redemption price is expected to be approximately $10.66. A public shareholder who has properly tendered or delivered his, her or its public shares for redemption will be entitled to receive his, her or its pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account in cash for such shares only if the Business Combination is completed. If the Business Combination is not completed, the redemptions will be canceled and the tendered shares will be returned to the relevant public shareholders as appropriate. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own any shares.

Public shareholders who seek to redeem their public shares must demand redemption no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2026 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the extraordinary general meeting) by (a) submitting a written request to the PCSC transfer agent that PCSC redeem such holder's public shares for cash, (b) affirmatively certifying in such request to the PCSC transfer agent for redemption if such holder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other shareholder with respect to PCSC Shares and (c) tendering or delivering their PCSC Shares, either physically or electronically through the DWAC system, at the holder's option, to the PCSC transfer agent prior to the extraordinary general meeting. If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered or delivered to the PCSC transfer agent (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The PCSC transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker a nominal fee and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of his, her, its or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, any shares held by a public shareholder or "group" in excess of such 15% cap will not be redeemed by PCSC.

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public shares, may not be withdrawn after 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2026 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the extraordinary general meeting) unless the PCSC Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). Furthermore, if a public shareholder demands redemption of such shares and subsequently decides prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2026 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the extraordinary general meeting) not to elect to exercise such rights, he or she may simply request that the PCSC transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically).

Any corrected or changed written demand of redemption rights must be received by PCSC's secretary two business days prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the public shareholder's share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the PCSC transfer agent at least two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

Public shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates (if any) and other redemption forms should allow sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the PCSC transfer agent

------

and time to effect delivery. It is PCSC's understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the PCSC transfer agent. However, PCSC does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Shareholders who hold their shares in "street name" will have to coordinate with their banks, brokers or other nominees to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. There is a cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The PCSC transfer agent will typically charge a nominal fee to the tendering broker and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

A public shareholder will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if the shareholder properly demands redemption as described above and the Business Combination is completed. If a public shareholder properly seeks redemption and the Business Combination is completed, PCSC will redeem these shares for cash and the holder will no longer own these shares following the Business Combination. If the Business Combination is not completed for any reason, then the public shareholders who exercised their redemption rights will not be entitled to receive cash for their shares. In such case, PCSC will promptly return any shares delivered by the public shareholders. The closing price of the public shares on January 6, 2026 was $13.58. The cash held in the trust account as of January 6, 2026 was approximately $10.66 per public share. Prior to exercising redemption rights, shareholders should verify the market price of public shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. PCSC cannot assure its shareholders that they will be able to sell their public shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its shareholders wish to sell their shares. A public shareholder who properly exercises its redemption rights pursuant to the procedures set forth herein will be entitled to receive a full pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest earned on the trust account not previously released to PCSC for permitted withdrawals.

#### Appraisal Rights and Dissenters' Rights
PCSC's shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under the DGCL. PCSC's shareholders do not have dissenters' rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under Cayman Islands law.

#### Proxy Solicitation Costs
PCSC is soliciting proxies on behalf of the PCSC Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. PCSC and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. PCSC will bear the cost of the solicitation.

PCSC has engaged Morrow as proxy solicitor to assist in the solicitation of proxies. PCSC has agreed to pay Morrow a fee of $25,000, plus disbursements, and will reimburse Morrow for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and indemnify Morrow and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses.

PCSC will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. PCSC will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

#### PCSC Initial Shareholders' Agreements
As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 11,067,500 PCSC Shares issued and outstanding, which includes an aggregate of 286,250 private placement shares, which are PCSC Class A Shares, held by the Sponsor and 2,156,250 PCSC Class B Shares held by the initial shareholders, being the Sponsor and PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal).

None of the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders nor any of their respective affiliates has purchased, or currently has an intention to purchase, public shares prior to the extraordinary general meeting. However, subject to Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, at any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding PCSC or its securities, the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders, and/or their respective affiliates may purchase public shares prior to the extraordinary general meeting The purpose of such transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that (i) the

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Business Combination Proposal, each of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are approved by the requisite majorities, (ii) otherwise limit the number of public shares electing to redeem and (iii) New Freenome's net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the PIPE Financing. If such purchases occur, the public "float" of New Freenome following the Business Combination may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of the New Freenome Common Stock on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange.

In the event that the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders and/or any of their respective affiliates, subject to Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their public shares. Any public shares purchased by the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders or any of their respective affiliates would not be voted in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals, and redemptions rights (if any) over such purchased securities would be waived by the aforementioned persons. Any such purchased securities would also have a purchase price no higher than the redemption price.

In addition, PCSC will file a Current Report on Form 8-K and will (i) amend this proxy statement/prospectus, if such arrangements are entered into prior to effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, or (ii) file a supplement to this proxy statement/prospectus, if such arrangements are entered into after effectiveness of such registration statement, to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Condition Precedent Proposals or the satisfaction of any closing conditions. Any such disclosures will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons, and will describe the material costs of such arrangements to PCSC and Freenome, as well as their potential impact to New Freenome after giving effect to the Business Combination as well as: (i) the number of public shares purchased outside of the redemption offer, along with the purchase price(s) for such public shares; (ii) the purpose of any such purchases; (iii) the impact, if any, of the purchases on the likelihood that the Condition Precedent Proposals will be approved; (iv) the identities of the equity holders who sold to the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders or their respective affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of the equity holders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold such public shares; and (v) the number of public shares for which PCSC has received redemption requests pursuant to its redemption offer. None of the funds in the trust account will be used to purchase public shares in such transactions. None of the Sponsor, or other initial shareholders, or any of their respective affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller of such public shares or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. PCSC hereby represents that any public shares purchased by the Sponsor or other initial shareholders or their affiliates in situations in which the tender offer rules restrictions on purchases would apply would not be voted in favor of approving the Condition Precedent Proposals.

#### BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

#### Overview
We are asking our shareholders to adopt and approve the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Mergers). PCSC shareholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as **Annex A** to this proxy statement/prospectus, and the transactions contemplated thereby. Please see "*—The Business Combination Agreement*" below for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Business Combination Agreement. You are urged to read carefully the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

Because we are holding a shareholder vote on the Business Combination, we may consummate the Business Combination only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

#### The Business Combination Agreement
This subsection of the proxy statement/prospectus describes the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement, but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as **Annex A** to this proxy statement/prospectus. You are urged to read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination.

The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified in part by the underlying disclosure schedules (the "***disclosure schedules***"), which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• by either PCSC or Freenome,

#### Governing Law
The Business Combination Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware (except that the laws of the Cayman Islands also applies to the Domestication).

#### Amendments

No consideration has been or will be paid to PCSC, Freenome, to the Sponsor or each of PCSC's independent directors in connection with the entry into the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

#### Background to the Business Combination
PCSC is a blank check company incorporated on March 22, 2024 as a Cayman Islands exempted company, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On March 27, 2024, prior to the closing of PCSC's initial public offering, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain expenses on PCSC's behalf in exchange for the issuance of 2,156,250 PCSC Class B Shares, or approximately $0.01 per share. In April 2024, the Sponsor transferred 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares to each of the three independent directors of the PCSC Board: Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song, M.D. and Harlan W. Waksal, M.D. On June 13, 2024, PCSC consummated its initial public offering of 8,625,000 PCSC Class A Shares, $0.0001 par value per share, at an offering price of $10.00 per share, which included the exercise in full of the underwriter's option to purchase an additional 1,125,000 PCSC Class A Shares at the initial public offering price of $10.00 per share to cover over-allotments, and a private placement with the Sponsor of 286,250 PCSC Class A Shares at a price of $10.00 per share. The aggregate net proceeds of $86,250,000 from the initial public offering together with certain of the proceeds from the private placement were placed in the Trust Account established for the benefit of PCSC's public shareholders and the underwriter of the initial public offering, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.

Following the completion of its initial public offering, at the direction of the PCSC Board, representatives of PCSC, including Messrs. Stone and Poukalov, and Dr. Hukkelhoven commenced an active, targeted search for potential business combination candidates, leveraging the Sponsor's network of investment bankers, private equity firms and hedge funds (including Perceptive Advisors and its affiliates), consulting firms, legal and accounting firms, and numerous other business relationships, as well as the prior experience and network of PCSC's officers and directors.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Consistent with the investment focus and acquisition criteria described in PCSC's initial public offering prospectus, and based on discussion with the PCSC Board, PCSC targeted potential business combination targets in the life sciences and medical technology sectors that its officers and directors believed, based on their experience, could satisfy all (or a portion) of the following key criteria:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• have scientific or other competitive advantages in the markets in which they operate and ability to benefit from access to additional capital as well as PCSC's industry relationships and expertise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• are ready to be public companies, with strong management, corporate governance and reporting policies in place;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• will likely be well received by public investors and are expected to have good access to the public capital markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• have significant embedded and/or underexploited growth opportunities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exhibit unrecognized value or other characteristics that PCSC believes have been misevaluated by the market, based on PCSC's rigorous analysis and scientific and business due diligence review; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• will offer attractive risk-adjusted equity returns for PCSC shareholders.

During this targeted search, representatives of PCSC, including Messrs. Stone, Altman, Poukalov, and Vazquez, and Dr. Hukkelhoven, reviewed approximately 200 potential business combination targets and conducted varying levels of preliminary due diligence on each, and evaluated and analyzed each as a potential business combination target based on, among other things, publicly available information and other market research available to PCSC and its representatives and their existing knowledge of the potential targets as a result of their network and existing relationships. This preliminary diligence, evaluation and analysis with respect to each potential business combination target identified was focused on business, operational and financial matters, including, among other things, product candidate pipelines, other potential product or service offerings, technology, market potential and financial information.

Following this preliminary evaluation, PCSC determined that approximately 20 companies, including Freenome, merited more serious consideration, based on such companies' scientific approach, development stage, financing needs, management strength and overall alignment with PCSC's acquisition criteria.

On October 28, 2024, representatives of PCSC, including Messrs. Stone, Altman, Poukalov, and Vazquez, and Dr. Hukkelhoven, submitted a non-binding term sheet to one such company, Party A.

On November 6, 2024, Party A notified PCSC that it intended to continue pursuing a traditional initial public offering rather than a business combination with PCSC in light of prevailing market conditions and its internal strategic priorities.

On December 19, 2024, representatives of PCSC, including Messrs. Stone, Altman, Poukalov, and Vazquez, and Dr. Hukkelhoven, submitted a non-binding term sheet to another such company, Party B. With respect to Party B, PCSC determined following outreach to potential financing sources and other stakeholders that there was limited interest in supporting a business combination with Party B on terms PCSC viewed as appropriate, including taking into account the criteria previously discussed by the PCSC Board. As a result, in February 2025, PCSC discontinued discussions with Party B.

After concluding its evaluations of Party A and Party B, PCSC continued to assess potential business combination targets. Through this process, and based on discussion with members of the PCSC Board, PCSC further refined its focus and determined to concentrate its near-term efforts on revisiting a smaller set of potential business combination targets, including Freenome, that PCSC believed were the most compelling opportunities relative to the others reviewed. These were targets that PCSC had previously started to evaluate but placed such efforts on hold as PCSC awaited additional data or developments.

In addition to satisfying one or more of PCSC's key criteria noted above, PCSC believed these targets were most suitable for a potential business combination based on, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PCSC's preliminary assessment of the target's equity valuation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the strength, differentiation, and future prospects of the target's pipeline, platform, or underlying scientific approach; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the target's preparedness for a business combination and readiness to operate as a public company on an expeditious signing and closing timeline.

------

Each of these targets was a development-stage or commercial-stage life sciences company with product candidates or technologies requiring additional funding for clinical development or commercialization. PCSC contemplated transactions in which consideration to the target's equityholders would consist primarily (if not exclusively) of shares of PCSC. Representatives of PCSC, including Messrs. Stone, Altman, Poukalov, and Vazquez, and Dr. Hukkelhoven, engaged in varying levels of additional diligence, discussions, and negotiations with these targets, including Freenome, and PCSC management periodically updated the PCSC Board on their progress with respect to screening potential business combination targets.

The Perceptive PIPE Investor, an affiliate of PCSC and the Sponsor, was initially introduced to Freenome in 2019 in the context of a potential investment in Freenome. The Perceptive PIPE Investor invested $20 million in Freenome's Series B financing in July 2019, $40 million in Freenome's Series C financing in August 2020, $44 million in Freenome's Series D financing in December 2021 and $20 million in Freenome's Series F financing in February 2024. Additionally, the Perceptive PIPE Investor was granted a Freenome Board seat in the Series C financing. Dr. Hukkelhoven has occupied such Freenome Board seat since August 14, 2020.

On February 19, 2025, Dr. Hukkelhoven, in her capacity as an executive officer of the Perceptive PIPE Investor, reached out to the other members of the Freenome Board, consisting of Deepika Pakianathan, Douglas VanOort, Randal Scott, Peter Kolchinsky, Moritz Hartmann, and Josh Lauer, to inquire whether Freenome would be interested in exploring a potential business combination with PCSC. The Perceptive PIPE Investor, was as of such time, and remains, an existing investor in Freenome, and Dr. Hukkelhoven, an executive officer of the Perceptive PIPE Investor, was as of such time, and remains, a member of the Freenome Board. As the Perceptive PIPE Investor has been an investor in Freenome since 2019, the Perceptive PIPE Investor has continuously monitored Freenome's business progress and capital needs. Dr. Hukkelhoven has been a representative appointed by the Perceptive PIPE Investor on the Freenome Board since 2020. At the direction of the Freenome Board, Dr. Hukkelhoven informed the Perceptive PIPE Investor that Freenome was interested in exploring a capital raising transaction involving the Perceptive PIPE Investor and Dr. Hukkelhoven proposed the terms of the PIPE Financing to the Perceptive PIPE Investor.

In early March 2025, the Freenome Board discussed the outreach from PCSC regarding a potential business combination.

On March 7, 2025, Adam Stone, Chief Executive Officer of PCSC, along with Konstantin Poukalov and Dr. Hukkelhoven, as executive officers of the Perceptive PIPE Investor, met with the Freenome Board (excluding Dr. Hukkelhoven) to discuss the potential business combination opportunity and discussed that PCSC should propose key terms for a potential business combination between the parties to be memorialized in a term sheet. Dr. Hukkelhoven, who has been serving on the Freenome Board in connection with the investment by the Perceptive PIPE Investor in Freenome, reminded the Freenome Board of her affiliation with PCSC and the Sponsor and, after providing an overview of PCSC, recused herself from the remainder of the meeting. The Freenome Board also discussed the de-SPAC process generally.

On May 28, 2025, PCSC circulated an initial draft of the Non-Binding Term Sheet to Freenome. The Freenome Board determined that the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee would lead the negotiations for Freenome. In August 2023, Freenome's Board had approved the formation of such Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee in order to explore strategic transactions for Freenome. As of May 2025, the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee consisted of Deepika Pakianathan, Randal Scott, Doug VanOort and Aaron Elliott.

Over the course of May through early August of 2025, representatives of PCSC, including Adam Stone, Konstantin Poukalov, Dr. Hukkelhoven, Michael Altman, Marcel Rosner, and Carlos Vazquez, and representatives of Freenome, including Aaron Elliott, Riley Ennis, and Thomas Fitzpatrick, and its Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee, consisting of the members identified above, with the assistance of their respective legal counsel at Cooley LLP ("***Cooley***") and Goodwin Procter LLP ("***Goodwin***"), negotiated certain provisions of the Non-Binding Term Sheet. Such provisions included the pre-money base equity value of Freenome (and related adjustments), totaling $725 million, the minimum Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Amount of $200 million, and the size and terms of the post-closing employee equity pools. Dr. Hukkelhoven conveyed and explained the rationale for PCSC's valuation of Freenome to Freenome management and the Freenome Board and acted as an intermediary between PCSC and Freenome. In the initial draft of the Non-Binding Term Sheet sent in May 2025, PCSC assigned Freenome a post-money valuation of $1.0 billion, subject to confirmatory due diligence, reflecting the following assumptions: (1) a pre-money

------

base equity value for Freenome of $725.0 million and (2) a minimum Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Amount of $250.0 million. In late July 2025, a revised draft of the Non-Binding Term Sheet from PCSC to Freenome increased the post-money valuation of Freenome to $1.05 billion, reflecting a revised assumption of $300 million in aggregate proceeds raised in the PIPE Financing plus the Trust Account's balance at Closing. In early August 2025, PCSC sent a further revised draft Non-Binding Term Sheet, clarifying that the $1.05 billion post-money valuation of Freenome was in light of the Perceptive PIPE Investor's plan to invest approximately $25.0 million in the PIPE Financing. In negotiating the pre-money base equity value of Freenome, the parties discussed whether the proceeds from the Exact Sciences transaction or any transaction entered into with Roche should be included in such value. Although these potential transactions had been under discussion, the parties ultimately agreed that such proceeds would not be included in the pre-money base equity value because the transactions had not been completed at the time the valuation was determined and remained contingent. Accordingly, the economic impact of any such transactions, if consummated, would be reflected in the post-money equity value rather than the pre-money valuation. Consistent with this approach, shares issuable upon conversion of Freenome convertible notes and any equity issued in connection with such transactions were excluded from the definition of fully diluted Freenome shares used in determining the Exchange Ratio so that the effects of such instruments and transactions would be reflected in the post-closing ownership rather than diluting the pre-money equity value.

During such period, Freenome was also negotiating its exclusive licensing agreement with Exact Sciences to advance the Exact Sciences Transaction, which was ultimately signed and announced on August 6, 2025. The final terms of the Exact Sciences Transaction are described in "*Information about Freenome—Key Collaborations*." Additionally, during this period, Freenome began discussions on a collaboration with Roche, as detailed further below.

On August 6, 2025, the PCSC Board met by videoconference, with members of PCSC management, including Messrs. Stone, Altman, Poukalov, and Vazquez, and Dr. Hukkelhoven, and representatives of Cooley present, to discuss the potential business combination with Freenome and the Non-Binding Term Sheet. Among other things, the final terms of the Non-Binding Term Sheet contemplated that Freenome would be valued at approximately $1.05 billion on a post-Business Combination equity value basis, taking into account, among other things, (i) an assumed $300 million in aggregate proceeds from (a) the PIPE Financing (which would include at least $25 million expected to be contributed by Perceptive Advisors or its affiliates and at least $50 million expected to be contributed by RA Capital or its affiliates) and (b) the Trust Account at the closing, and (ii) an agreed pre-Business Combination base equity value for Freenome of $725 million. The Non-Binding Term Sheet further contemplated, among other things, (a) certain adjustments for leakage to the Freenome base equity value, (b) that any proceeds from the Exact Sciences Transaction or any transaction entered into with Roche would not be counted as part of the base equity value of Freenome and that any shares or other equity interests of Freenome issued and outstanding in connection with such transactions would not be taken into account as part of the Freenome shares outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination for purposes of determining the applicable Exchange Ratio, (c) that in addition to other customary closing conditions, the obligation of Freenome to consummate the Business Combination would be subject to there being Aggregate Transaction Proceeds of at least $250,000,000, (d) a six-month lockup period after consummation of the Business Combination with respect to New Freenome shares to be issued to insider Freenome stockholders, including Perceptive Advisors and RA Capital, in the Business Combination, as well as certain demand and piggyback registration rights for certain stockholders, and (e) the Exclusivity Period binding on both PCSC and Freenome, ending on the later of 5:00 pm Eastern Time on October 5, 2025 and the time at which either party gives written notice to the other party of the termination of exclusivity, provided that PCSC also had the right, in its sole discretion, to elect to earlier terminate the Exclusivity Period by delivering written notice to Freenome at any time on or prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on September 5, 2025 or by delivering written notice to Freenome at any time if PCSC determines that there has occurred any change or event that has materially and adversely affected, or would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect, Freenome.

During the August 6, 2025 PCSC Board meeting, the PCSC Board noted that (i) the Perceptive PIPE Investor was an affiliate of PCSC and the Sponsor and an existing investor in Freenome, (ii) Dr. Hukkelhoven was an executive officer of the Perceptive PIPE Investor and was a director of Freenome, and (iii) all directors serving on the PCSC Board other than Mr. McKenna, Dr. Song and Dr. Waksal, including Dr. Hukkelhoven, as well as the executive officers of PCSC were also employees and/or service providers of Perceptive Advisors, an affiliate of the Sponsor. As a result, the PCSC Board established the Special Committee, consisting solely of Mr. McKenna, Dr. Song and Dr. Waksal as the independent and disinterested members of the PCSC Board, to (i) consider, review and evaluate the terms and conditions, and determine the advisability, of the potential business combination and any alternatives thereto that the Special Committee deems appropriate, (ii) determine whether the potential business combination or any alternative

------

thereto is fair to, and in the best interests of, PCSC and its shareholders and (iii) with respect to any actions required to be taken by the full PCSC Board with respect to the potential business combination or any alternative thereto, recommend to the PCSC Board what action, if any, should be taken by the PCSC Board. The PCSC Board designated Mr. McKenna, Dr. Song and Dr. Waksal as the members of the Special Committee as each of whom had confirmed to the PCSC Board that they did not have any financial interest in or pre-existing relationship with Freenome.

Following adjournment of the PCSC Board meeting, the Special Committee met, with members of PCSC management and representatives of Cooley present. At this meeting, the Special Committee discussed the Non-Binding Term Sheet, determined that the execution, delivery and performance of the Non-Binding Term Sheet by PCSC and the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein were in the best commercial interests of PCSC, and resolved to recommend to the PCSC Board to approve, execute, deliver and perform the Non-Binding Term Sheet and consummate the transactions contemplated therein.

Following conclusion of the Special Committee meeting, the PCSC Board thereafter reconvened and, after receiving the Special Committee's recommendation and engaging in further discussion, approved and adopted the Non-Binding Term Sheet.

On August 5, 2025, the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee met by videoconference, with members of Freenome management and other members of the Freenome Board (excluding Dr. Hukkelhoven and Mr. Kolchinsky) and representatives of Goodwin present, and discussed (i) the Exact Sciences Transaction and (ii) the final terms of the Non-Binding Term Sheet.

On August 6, 2025, the Freenome Board met by videoconference, with members of Freenome management and representatives of Goodwin present. It was noted that pursuant to the final Non-Binding Term Sheet, RA Capital intended to be a significant PIPE Investor in the transaction. It was therefore determined that Mr. Kolchinsky would abstain from any vote related to the Non-Binding Term Sheet and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Freenome Board approved execution of the Non-Binding Term Sheet, with Dr. Hukkelhoven and Mr. Kolchinsky, abstaining from the vote.

Later on August 6, 2025, PCSC and Freenome executed the Non-Binding Term Sheet. As of such date, PCSC had not submitted term sheets or letters of intent with respect to any of the other potential business combination targets that had been under consideration, and PCSC subsequently ceased discussions with each of them.

PCSC ultimately determined to abandon the pursuit of additional potential business combination opportunities with potential business combination targets other than Freenome because of, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PCSC's directors' and officers' belief that Freenome was the most attractive opportunity that met PCSC's key criteria, including due to its differentiated scientific and technological approach, its advancement toward meaningful near- and medium-term development or commercial milestones and the strength and experience of its management team;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Freenome's preparedness and willingness to devote appropriate resources to expeditiously negotiate and sign a definitive agreement, consummate a business combination, and transition to becoming a public company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the more advanced stage of engagement, discussions, and negotiations with Freenome, including substantial progress on key terms and conditions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Freenome's willingness to enter into a non-binding term sheet, with exclusivity, on terms PCSC's directors and officers believed were attractive.

On August 20, 2025, the Special Committee held a call with representatives of Ropes & Gray LLP ("***Ropes & Gray***") regarding the potential engagement of Ropes & Gray by the Special Committee as its U.S. counsel.

On August 28, 2025, PCSC and Freenome finalized the terms of and executed a customary confidentiality agreement to facilitate negotiations and the completion of confirmatory due diligence.

During August 2025, PCSC contacted Jefferies and Leerink Partners, requesting that (i) Jefferies act as lead financial advisor and lead capital markets advisor to PCSC with respect to the potential business combination, (ii) Leerink Partners act as PCSC's joint capital markets advisor, and (iii) Jefferies and Leerink Partners act as joint lead placement agents in connection with the PIPE Financing. PCSC, Jefferies and Leerink Partners executed an engagement letter in respect of such services on September 30, 2025.

------

During August and September 2025, Freenome connected with a number of potential advisors, including TD Securities (USA) LLC ("TD Cowen"), BTIG, LLC ("BTIG"), and Guggenheim Securities, LLC ("Guggenheim Securities"). It was determined that (i) TD Cowen would act as lead financial advisor to Freenome, (ii) BTIG would act as financial advisor to Freenome and (iii) Guggenheim Securities would act as capital markets advisor to Freenome. Freenome executed engagement letters in respect of such services in November 2025. In connection with these engagements, Freenome agreed to reimburse the financial and capital markets advisors for certain expenses in connection with the Business Combination and to pay an aggregate cash fee of $2.1 million to such advisors, payable upon the closing of the Business Combination.

On September 2, 2025, the Special Committee engaged Ropes & Gray as its U.S. counsel.

On September 8, 2025, Cooley provided to Goodwin and White & Case LLP ("***W&C***"), legal counsel to Jefferies and Leerink Partners, initial drafts of the form of Subscription Agreement for Perceptive Advisors and RA Capital and the form of Subscription Agreement for all other PIPE Investors. From September 8, 2025 to October 28, 2025, Cooley, Goodwin and W&C negotiated the forms of the Subscription Agreement. In parallel to the preparation of the forms of Subscription Agreement, Jefferies and Leerink Partners, as placement agents for PCSC in connection with the PIPE Financing, commenced outreach to potential investors (including existing Freenome investors) to assess interest in participating in the PIPE Financing.

On September 29, 2025, Scalar, LLC ("***Scalar***") was engaged as financial advisor to the Special Committee in connection with the Business Combination.

Throughout September, October and November 2025, the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee met multiple times to discuss (i) the status of the PIPE Financing and the transaction and (ii) the status of the potential transaction with Roche. In October 2025, the Freenome Board determined to remove Dr. Elliott as a member of the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee in order to ensure that the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee would consist solely of disinterested and independent Freenome Board members. As Dr. Elliott is the CEO of Freenome, it was determined he is not independent of Freenome.

On September 30, 2025, the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee held a meeting. The Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee determined to engage certain of its own advisors as part of its continuing evaluation of the Business Combination. The Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee engaged (i) Richards, Layton & Finger P.A. ("RLF") as its legal counsel and (ii) H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC ("HCW") as its financial advisor in connection with the derivation of an implied valuation analysis of Freenome.

Pursuant to its engagement, HCW agreed to perform certain valuation analyses in order to derive an implied valuation of Freenome and to assist the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee in assessing whether any developments subsequent to the execution of the non-binding term sheet had affected such valuation. The nature and scope of HCW's engagement did not require or include the delivery of a fairness opinion. In connection with this engagement, Freenome agreed to pay HCW a fixed cash fee of $475,000, payable upon delivery of its valuation materials, and to reimburse certain expenses and provide customary indemnification. On October 6, 2025, HCW presented certain valuation analyses to the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee. HCW did not rely on projected or forward-looking financial information provided by Freenome in preparing its analyses. HCW's analyses included (i) a review of selected publicly traded cancer diagnostics companies, and an examination of enterprise value-to-revenue multiples for such companies, (ii) a review of selected precedent mergers and acquisitions transactions involving cancer diagnostics companies and (iii) an IPO step-up analysis, which considered valuation step-ups observed in recent healthcare initial public offerings relative to prior private financing valuations. These categories of analyses are generally consistent with the types of financial analyses performed by Scalar, LLC ("Scalar") in connection with Scalar's fairness opinion, as described in "—Opinion of Scalar, LLC," although HCW's work differed in nature and scope and was not performed for the purpose of rendering a fairness opinion.

The materials presented by HCW were provided to the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee for informational purposes only and did not constitute a recommendation or fairness opinion with respect to the Business Combination. The Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee considered HCW's analyses as a "market check" in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination and, based on a review of the respective analyses, did not identify any material inconsistencies between the general valuation ranges implied by HCW's analyses and the financial analyses underlying Scalar's fairness opinion, which was provided to the special committee of the board of directors of PCSC.

On October 3, 2025, PCSC and Freenome agreed to extend the Exclusivity Period to November 4, 2025.

On October 6, 2025, Cooley provided to Goodwin an initial draft of the Business Combination Agreement based upon the terms set forth in the Non-Binding Term Sheet. Between October 6, 2025 and December 3, 2025, Goodwin and Cooley exchanged numerous drafts of the Business Combination Agreement and had telephonic discussions and negotiations concerning the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The matters in the Business Combination Agreement that were discussed and negotiated between the parties and their respective counsel included: (i) the inclusion of a post-closing purchase price adjustment mechanism and related escrow; (ii) the value of the New Freenome common stock to be used in connection with determining the Exchange Ratio (including clarifying that any shares or other equity interests of Freenome issued and outstanding in connection with either the Exact Sciences Transaction or a strategic collaboration agreement with Roche Sequencing Solutions, Inc. to commercialize Freenome's cancer screening technology (the "***Roche Transaction***") would not be taken into account as part of the Freenome shares outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination for purposes of determining the applicable Exchange Ratio); (iii) the treatment of certain unpaid PCSC liabilities in connection with determining the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds; (iv) Freenome's obligations with respect to the delivery of warrant cancellation agreements and executed Investor Rights Agreements and Transaction Support Agreements by specified Freenome stockholders; (v) the Termination Date; (vi) the composition of the New Freenome board of directors; (vii) PCSC's obligations relating to obtaining regulatory approval of the Business Combination; and (viii) the size and terms of the New Freenome Incentive Equity Plan and the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan (including, in each case, agreement to the automatic annual increase in the number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock reserved under each).

Between mid-October 2025 and December 4, 2025, Cooley and Goodwin also exchanged and negotiated on behalf of PCSC and Freenome, respectively, drafts of the disclosure schedules to the Business Combination Agreement and the other ancillary documents, including the Investor Rights Agreement, the Transaction Support Agreement, the New Freenome certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the Lock-Up Agreement and the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

On November 4, 2025, PCSC and Freenome agreed to further extend the Exclusivity Period to December 19, 2025.

On November 18, 2025, Freenome announced its entry into the Roche Transaction. The final terms of the Roche Transaction are described in "*Information about Freenome—Key Collaborations"*.

Following the announcement of the Roche Transaction, over the course of mid-November 2025 through December 4, 2025, Cooley, Goodwin and W&C negotiated the terms of the Subscription Agreement with the various PIPE Investors.

On November 26, 2025, Cooley circulated to the PCSC Board written materials summarizing the key terms of the then-current drafts of the Business Combination Agreement and related ancillary documents.

On November 28, 2025, a meeting of the Special Committee was held by videoconference, with representatives of Ropes & Gray LLP in attendance. At the meeting, referring to the summary materials provided by Cooley to the members of the PCSC Board on November 26, 2025, representatives of Ropes & Gray provided an update on the proposed Business Combination, including the key terms of the Business Combination Agreement and related ancillary documents, as well as the directors' duties as members of the PCSC Board under Cayman Islands law. Also at this meeting, the Special Committee unanimously approved the engagement of Maples and Calder (Cayman) LLP ("***Maples***") as Cayman Islands counsel to the Special Committee.

On December 1, 2025, a meeting of the Special Committee was held by videoconference, with PCSC management and representatives of Ropes & Gray, Maples, Cooley, Jefferies and Scalar in attendance. At the meeting, PCSC management and representatives of Cooley provided the Special Committee with an update and overview of the potential business combination and the process related thereto, the key terms of the Business Combination Agreement, as well as certain key developments. PCSC management also discussed with the Special Committee the expected timeline and process for a potential signing of the Business Combination Agreement. Also at this meeting, representatives of Jefferies provided an overview of the PIPE transactions process, the PIPE Investors, and the material terms of the PIPE transaction documents, and representatives of Scalar provided the Special Committee with its preliminary analysis of the financial aspects of the business combination, and representatives of Maples presented an overview of the directors' duties as members of the PCSC Board under Cayman Islands law.

On December 4, 2025, Scalar provided a customary relationship disclosure letter to representatives of PCSC, Cooley and Ropes & Gray which was shared with the Special Committee.

------

Also on December 4, 2025, a meeting of the Special Committee was held by videoconference, with PCSC management and representatives of Cooley, Ropes & Gray, Maples and Scalar in attendance. At the meeting, PCSC management and representatives of Cooley provided the Special Committee with an update on the potential business combination, the definitive transaction documents, and the process related thereto. Also at the meeting, representatives of Scalar reviewed with the Special Committee Scalar's financial analysis of the Business Combination and rendered to the Special Committee its oral opinion (subsequently confirmed in writing) that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken, and other matters considered by Scalar in preparing its opinion (attached as Annex L to this proxy statement/prospectus), the Consideration (as defined in such opinion) to be paid by PCSC to the stockholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to (1) the PCSC Class A Shareholders (other than the Excluded Parties) and (2) PCSC. Based on the factors cited in "*Business Combination Proposal—The Special Committee's and the PCSC Board's Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination*", the Special Committee then unanimously (i) determined that the entry into the Business Combination Agreement and the other ancillary documents to which PCSC is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Mergers, are advisable and fair to, and in the best interest of, PCSC and shareholders of PCSC, (ii) recommended to the PCSC Board that it approve the Business Combination Agreement, such other ancillary documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Mergers, and (iii) subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, resolved to recommend that the shareholders of PCSC adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the "***Special Committee Recommendation***").

Also on December 4, 2025, a meeting of the PCSC Board was held by videoconference with representatives of Cooley, Ropes & Gray, Ogier, counsel to PCSC with respect to matters of Cayman Islands law since PCSC's initial public offering, and members of PCSC management in attendance. At the meeting, Cooley and Ogier reviewed the PCSC Board's fiduciary duties under Cayman law, and then PCSC's management and representatives of Cooley provided the PCSC Board with an overview of the proposed Business Combination and the key terms of the Business Combination Agreement and related ancillary documents. The PCSC Board was also provided with the Special Committee Recommendation. In addition, members of the PCSC Board reviewed the relationships among certain of the members of the PCSC Board, PCSC officers, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, the Sponsor and Freenome with respect to the proposed Business Combination that were reviewed at the August 6, 2025 meeting of the PCSC Board. Based on the factors cited in "*Business Combination Proposal—The Special Committee's and the PCSC Board's Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination*" and in light of the fact that the implied fair market value of the vested equity of Freenome to be acquired in the Business Combination was equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting discounts held in trust and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for an initial business combination, the PCSC Board unanimously determined, among other things, (i) that it is in the best interests of PCSC to negotiate, execute and deliver the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary documents thereto, and to consummate the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the Domestication, the Mergers and the PIPE Financing, (ii) to authorize and approve the form, terms and provisions of the Business Combination Agreement, the Subscription Agreements and the ancillary documents thereto, and PCSC's performance thereunder and the transactions contemplated thereby, and (iii) that each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposal, the Advisory Governing Documents Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal is in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders, and to recommend that PCSC's shareholders adopt and approve at the PCSC Shareholders Meeting each such proposal.

The Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee, consisting of Deepika Pakianathan, Randal Scott, and Douglas VanOort met on December 1, December 2, and December 3, 2025, with varying members of Freenome management, including Riley Ennis, Aaron Elliott, and Thomas Fitzpatrick, certain of Freenome's financial advisors from TD Cowen, Delaware special counsel to the committee from RLF, and Goodwin representatives, to review the final terms of the transaction. On December 3, 2025, the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee determined to recommend that the Freenome Board approve the transaction, and on December 4, 2025, the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee unanimously adopted resolutions (i) determining that the entry into the Business Combination Agreement and the other ancillary agreements to which Freenome is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, are advisable and fair to, and in the best interest of, Freenome and its stockholders; and (ii) recommended to the Freenome Board that it approve the Business Combination Agreement, such other ancillary

------

agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, and that the Freenome Board resolve, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, to recommend that the Freenome stockholders adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereby.

On December 4, 2025, the Freenome Board held a meeting via teleconference. Following discussions, and upon the recommendation of the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee, the Freenome Board agreed to adopt and approve resolutions that, among other things, (i) approved the execution, delivery and performance of the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary agreements; (ii) determined that the Business Combination Agreement, the ancillary agreements, the Business Combination, and other transactions, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, are advisable and fair to and in the best interests of Freenome and the Freenome Stockholders; (iii) directed that the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement be submitted to the Freenome Stockholders for consideration and recommended that all of the Freenome Stockholders adopt the Business Combination Agreement; (iv) recommended that the Freenome Stockholders approve the Business Combination and such other transactions and adopt the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary agreements to which Freenome is a party and (v) approved the filing of a proxy statement in connection therewith.

On December 5, 2025, final versions of the Subscription Agreements were distributed to the prospective PIPE Investors, which reflected the outcome of negotiations between PCSC, Freenome and the prospective PIPE Investors and their respective representatives and advisors. Later that day, the prospective PIPE Investors that had chosen to participate in the PIPE Financing indicated their final subscription amounts, and PCSC and Freenome determined final investment allocations with respect to the PIPE Financing. No material valuations or other information about PCSC, Freenome, New Freenome or the Business Combination were provided to potential PIPE Investors that have not been disclosed publicly.

Also on December 5, 2025, the parties entered into the Business Combination Agreement and the related ancillary documents and the PIPE Investors executed and delivered the Subscription Agreements and applicable Transaction Support Agreements, which provided for binding subscriptions to purchase an aggregate of 24,000,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock at $10.00 per share.

Later on December 5, 2025, PCSC and Freenome issued a joint press release announcing the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement and Subscription Agreements.

#### Freenome's Reasons for the Business Combination
In the course of reaching their decisions to recommend and to approve the Business Combination, respectively, the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee and Freenome Board held numerous meetings, consulted with Freenome's management, financial advisors and legal counsel, and considered a wide variety of factors including, among others, the below material factors (which factors are not necessarily presented in any order of relative importance):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Business Combination will expand both the access to capital for Freenome and the range of investors potentially available as a public company, compared to the investors Freenome could otherwise gain access to if it continued to operate as a privately-held company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Freenome's expected cash resources and need for additional capital to fund the development and commercialization of its product, and the uniqueness of this particular potential Business Combination, as the negotiated transaction will result in the infusion of capital from strategic healthcare investors at the time of Closing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential benefits from increased public market awareness of Freenome and its product and product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the historical and current information concerning Freenome's business, including its financial performance and condition, operations, management and research and development programs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the competitive nature of the industry in which Freenome operates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Freenome Board's fiduciary duties to Freenome's stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Freenome Board's belief that this transaction provides a viable public listing strategy and access to available capital, and addresses the risk of the lack of an available or unfavorable market for an initial public offering at a later date;

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the likelihood that the Business Combination will be consummated on a timely basis.

In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the Freenome Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The Freenome Board viewed its decision as being based on all the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors.

The Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee and Freenome Board also considered a number of uncertainties and risks in its deliberations concerning the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possibility that the Business Combination might not be completed in a timely manner or at all, and the potential adverse effect of the public announcement of the Business Combination on the reputation of Freenome and the ability of Freenome to obtain financing in the future in the event the Business Combination is not completed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the costs involved in connection with completing the Business Combination, the time and effort of Freenome management required to complete the Business Combination, the related disruptions or potential disruptions to Freenome's business operations and future prospects, including its relationships with its employees, licensors, contract research organizations and partners and others that do business or may do business in the future with Freenome, and related administrative challenges associated with combining the companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the additional expenses and obligations to which Freenome's business will be subject following the Business Combination that Freenome has not previously been subject to, and the operational changes to Freenome's business, in each case that may result from being a public company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement do not survive the closing of the merger and the potential risk of liabilities that may arise post-closing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risk that the current Public Shareholders of PCSC can redeem their PCSC Class A Shares for cash in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, thereby reducing the amount of cash available to New Freenome following the consummation of the Business Combination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• various other risks associated with the combined organization and the merger, including the risks described in the section entitled "*Risk Factors*" in this prospectus.

The foregoing information is not intended to be exhaustive but summarizes the material factors considered by the Freenome Board in its consideration of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated.

The Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee also undertook a robust evaluation of the Business Combination, and hired independent legal and financial advisors. Following the recommendation of the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee, the Freenome Board concluded that the benefits, advantages and opportunities of a potential transaction outweighed the uncertainties and risks described above. After considering these and other factors, the Freenome Board approved the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

This explanation of reasons for the Freenome Board's approval of the Business Combination, and all other information presented in this section, is forward-looking in nature and therefore subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and should be read in light of the factors discussed under the sections entitled "*Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements*" and "*Risk Factors*."

#### Interests of Freenome's Directors and Officers
Freenome's directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of the Freenome Shareholders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Dr. Hukkelhoven, an executive officer of the Perceptive PIPE Investor, is a director of Freenome. In light of her relationship with both Freenome and the Perceptive PIPE Investor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, and to avoid any potential conflicts of interest, Freenome formed the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Upon the completion of the Business Combination, the following persons are expected to be appointed Executive Officers of New Freenome: Drs. Elliott and Lin and Messrs. Ennis and Le. For a description of these arrangements see *"Management of New Freenome Following the Business Combination—Executive Officers."* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, Dr. Elliott is expected to receive the Initial Equity Awards and Anti-Dilution Equity Awards. See *"Executive Compensation—Employment Arrangements in Place Prior to the Business Combination for Named Executive Officers."* 

**Certain of Freenome's directors are holders of, and/or are affiliated with entities that are holders of, Freenome equity interests and in such capacity will be entitled to receive the shares of New Freenome Common Stock payable to all holders of such equity interests pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Additionally, certain of Freenome's directors are affiliated with entities that are PIPE Investors. See "*Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Freenome" and "Beneficial Ownership of Securities*."**

#### The Special Committee's and the PCSC Board's Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination
The prospectus for PCSC's initial public offering identified general criteria and guidelines that PCSC's management team believed would be important in evaluating prospective target businesses, although in such prospectus PCSC also indicated that it may enter into a business combination with a target business that does not meet these criteria and guidelines. Freenome met a number of the criteria and guidelines that were identified in PCSC's initial public offering prospectus, and following due diligence conducted by PCSC's management and its advisors, and detailed discussions with Freenome, PCSC believed Freenome to be an attractive business combination target.

The Special Committee and the PCSC Board, in evaluating the business combination with Freenome, (a) considered a wide variety of factors, including but not limited to, the factors discussed below, (b) reviewed the results of due diligence conducted by PCSC's management team, and (c) consulted with their respective legal counsel, financial and accounting advisors and other advisors, before reaching their respective determinations (i) that the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary documents thereto and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, are advisable and in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders, as a whole, and (ii) to recommend that PCSC's shareholders approve the Business Combination Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and the performance by PCSC of its obligations thereunder.

In light of the complexity of the factors considered in connection with their evaluation of the Business Combination, the Special Committee and the PCSC Board, as a whole, did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors taken into account in reaching their respective decisions. Rather, the Special Committee and the PCSC Board based their evaluation, negotiation and recommendation of the Business Combination on the totality of information available and the factors presented to and considered by them. In addition, individual members of the Special Committee and the PCSC Board may have given different weights to different factors. This explanation of the reasons for the Special Committee and the PCSC Board's approval of the Business Combination, and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under "***Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements***" and "***Risk Factors***."

Before reaching their respective decision, the Special Committee and the PCSC Board, in consultation with their respective legal counsel, financial and accounting advisors and other advisors, reviewed the results of the due diligence conducted by PCSC's management, which included:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• meetings with Freenome's management team to understand and analyze Freenome's business and prospects;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• legal due diligence conducted by Cooley;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• review of Freenome's historical financial information; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• review of the proposed structure of the Business Combination and drafts of definitive documents.

In approving the Business Combination, the Special Committee determined to obtain a fairness opinion from an experienced and qualified independent financial advisor, Scalar. In addition, the officers and directors of PCSC have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries, but particularly the healthcare and life sciences industries, and concluded that their experience and background, together

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
with the experience and sector expertise of PCSC's advisors and the advisors of the Special Committee, enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination.

The Special Committee and the PCSC Board considered a variety of factors, including the following positive factors, although not weighted or in any order of significance, in deciding to approve the Business Combination Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Novel Technology for Early Cancer Detection, with Positive Data.*** Freenome's commercial, flagship testing product, the SimpleScreen CRC v1, which is designed to deliver high sensitivity at the earliest and most treatable stages of colorectal cancer (CRC), is supported by the largest prospective study of its kind, PREEMPT CRC, which met all primary endpoints (topline readout completed in April 2024) and is designed to meet FDA requirements for a first-line label. Freenome has completed the premarket approval application submission for the SimpleScreen CRC v1 and expects FDA approval in 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Critical and Valuable Commercial Partnerships.*** The Special Committee and the PCSC Board believe that (i) Freenome's exclusive U.S. license agreement with Exact Sciences, a leading provider of cancer screening and diagnostic tests, to commercialize SimpleScreen CRC and (ii) Freenome's exclusive agreement with Roche to expand ongoing technology collaboration and develop and commercialize cancer screening tests outside the U.S., will accelerate market adoption of Freenome's diagnostic tests and enhance Freenome's overall screening platform to expedite the development of personalized screening tests for multiple types of cancer indications. For more information, see "*Information about Freenome—Key Collaborations—Exact Collaboration and License Agreement*."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Market Opportunity.*** The Special Committee and the PCSC Board believe that Freenome's technology has a significant market opportunity. The Special Committee and the PCSC Board believe that Freenome has promising and differentiated diagnostic blood-based test programs, built off of the components of Freenome's artificial intelligence and machine learning-based platform.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Experienced Leadership Team.*** The Special Committee and the PCSC Board believe that Freenome has a proven and experienced team that is positioned to successfully lead New Freenome after the Business Combination and advance its diagnostic tests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Transaction Proceeds.*** Depending on the extent of redemptions by PCSC's public shareholders and on the final amount of transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination, the Business Combination is expected to provide up to approximately $330 million of gross cash proceeds to New Freenome. This additional cash injection is expected to, among other things, fund New Freenome's business plan through 2028 in all four redemption scenarios. For more information, see "  ***Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information*** ."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Opinion of the Special Committee's Financial Advisor.*** The oral opinion of Scalar (subsequently confirmed in writing) rendered to the Special Committee on December 4, 2025, to the effect that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the Procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Scalar in preparing its opinion (attached as **Annex L** to this proxy statement/prospectus), the Consideration (as defined in such opinion) to be paid by PCSC to the Freenome Stockholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to PCSC Class A Shareholders (other than the Excluded Parties) and PCSC, as more fully described below under the caption "*Business Combination Proposal—Opinion of Scalar, LLC.* "

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***PIPE Equity Commitment.*** A group of institutional and accredited investors, including certain existing Freenome Stockholders and PCSC Shareholders, have committed $240.0 million in PIPE subscriptions, with those investors who are existing Freenome Stockholders (other than those investors who are existing PCSC Shareholders) subscribing for approximately $72.4 million of the PIPE Financing, those investors who are existing PCSC Shareholders (other than those investors who are existing Freenome Stockholders) subscribing for approximately $15.0 million of the PIPE Financing, those investors who are existing shareholders of both PCSC and Freenome (other than the Perceptive PIPE Investor) subscribing for approximately $52.6 million of the PIPE Financing, the Perceptive PIPE Investor subscribing for an aggregate of $55.0 million of the PIPE Financing, and those investors who are neither existing Freenome Stockholders nor existing PCSC Shareholders subscribing for $45.0 million of the PIPE Financing. This was

------

viewed by the Special Committee and the PCSC Board as support from investors for the opportunities represented by the Business Combination, and provides for additional capital for the execution by New Freenome of its business plan after the Business Combination is completed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Other Alternatives.*** The Special Committee and the PCSC Board believed, after a review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to PCSC, that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for PCSC based on its evaluation of Freenome and other potential business combination targets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Due Diligence.*** PCSC's management team, with the assistance of PCSC's financial, legal and regulatory advisors, conducted a due diligence review of Freenome including extensive telephonic and in-person meetings with the management team and advisors of Freenome regarding Freenome and its business plan, operations, prospects, evaluation analyses with respect to the Business Combination, review of material contracts, Freenome's audited and unaudited financial statements and other material matters as well as general financial, technical, legal, intellectual property, regulatory, tax and accounting due diligence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Financial Condition.*** The Special Committee and the PCSC Board reviewed factors such as Freenome's historical financial results, outlook and business and financial plans. In reviewing these factors, the Special Committee and the PCSC Board believe that Freenome is well positioned in its industry for potential strong future growth and therefore is likely to be positively viewed by public investors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Reasonableness of Consideration.*** Following a review of the financial data provided to PCSC, the due diligence of Freenome's business conducted by PCSC's management, PCSC's advisors and the Special Committee's advisors, including the fairness opinion delivered to the Special Committee by Scalar, and the support for the pre-transaction equity value of Freenome of $725 million that was expressed by PIPE Investors that decided to participate in the PIPE Financing, the management of PCSC determined that the aggregate consideration to be paid in the Business Combination was reasonable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Negotiated Transaction.*** The Special Committee and the PCSC Board considered the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, including each party's representations, warranties and covenants, the conditions to each party's obligation to consummate the Business Combination and the termination provisions of the Business Combination Agreement, as well as the strong commitment by both PCSC and Freenome to complete the Business Combination. The Special Committee and the PCSC Board also considered the financial and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the fact that such terms and conditions were the product of arm's length negotiations between PCSC and Freenome.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Post-Closing Economic Interest in New Freenome.*** If the Business Combination is consummated, PCSC's shareholders (other than the public shareholders that sought redemption of their public shares) would have a meaningful economic interest in New Freenome and, as a result, would have a continuing opportunity to benefit from the success of New Freenome following the consummation of the Business Combination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Lock-Up.*** Pursuant to the Lock-up Agreement and subject to customary exceptions set forth therein, the shares of New Freenome Common Stock beneficially owned or owned of record by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain officers and directors of PCSC and New Freenome (including any shares of New Freenome Common Stock issued pursuant to the PIPE Financing or shares of New Freenome Common Stock issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement) will be subject to a six-month lock-up period beginning on the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Industry and Trends.*** Freenome's business approach combines a multiomics platform that analyzes multiple signals in the blood with artificial intelligence and machine learning to tune into cancer's subtlest clues, even at the earliest stages of the disease. The Special Committee and the PCSC Board consider Freenome's novel approach towards cancer detection attractive, and, following a review of industry trends and other industry factors (including, among other things, historic and projected market growth), believe it has continued growth potential in future periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Advisor Special Purpose Acquisition Company Experience.*** The fact that PCSC received advice on financial and strategic matters in connection with the Business Combination from advisors that have expertise in a wide

------

variety of special purpose acquisition company transactions. Certain directors and officers of PCSC have held director and officer positions at multiple special purpose acquisition companies that have successfully completed business combinations in the healthcare industry.

The Special Committee and the PCSC Board also identified and considered a variety of factors and risks, potentially weighing negatively against pursuing the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following which are not weighted or in any order of significance:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Macroeconomic Risks.*** The risk that the future financial performance of Freenome may not meet the Special Committee's and the PCSC Board's expectations due to factors in Freenome's control or outside of its control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Regulation.*** The risk that changes in the regulatory and legislative landscape or new industry developments may adversely affect the financial results and the other business benefits anticipated to result from the Business Combination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Redemption Risk.*** The potential that a significant number of public shareholders elect to redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and pursuant to the Existing Governing Documents. However, even in the event that a significant number of public shareholders elect to redeem their shares, this redemption would not be expected to, on its own, prevent the consummation of the Business Combination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Benefits Not Achieved.*** The risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Exclusivity.*** The fact that the Business Combination Agreement includes an exclusive dealing provision that prohibits PCSC from soliciting or cooperating with other business combination proposals, which restricts PCSC's ability, so long as the Business Combination Agreement is in effect, to consider other potential business combinations. In addition, under the Business Combination Agreement, unless required by applicable law, the PCSC Board may not modify or withdraw in a manner adverse to Freenome its recommendation to the PCSC shareholders to vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Shareholder Vote.*** The risk that PCSC's shareholders may fail to provide the votes necessary to effect the Business Combination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Market Volatility.*** The possibility that the market for PCSC Class A Shares experiences volatility and disruptions, causing deal disruption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Liquidation of PCSC.*** The risks and costs to PCSC if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in PCSC being unable to effect a business combination by June 13, 2026, unless otherwise extended, and force PCSC to liquidate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Closing Conditions.*** The potential risks and costs associated with the Business Combination failing to be consummated in a timely manner or that Closing might not occur despite the reasonable best efforts of the parties. The completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain Closing conditions that are not within PCSC's control, including but not limited to approval by PCSC shareholders. See "*Business Combination Proposal—Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination*" for more information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Listing Risks.*** The challenges associated with preparing Freenome, a privately held entity, for the applicable disclosure, controls and listing requirements to which New Freenome will be subject as a publicly traded company on Nasdaq or another stock exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Fees and Expenses.*** The expected fees and expenses associated with the Business Combination and related transactions, some of which would be payable regardless of whether the Business Combination is ultimately consummated, and the substantial time and effort of management required to complete the Business Combination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Litigation Related to the Business Combination.*** The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Interests of Certain Persons.*** The Special Committee was aware that the Perceptive PIPE Investor is an investor in Freenome. The Special Committee was also aware that the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and PCSC's officers, and directors may have interests in the Business Combination that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of unaffiliated PCSC shareholders. For instance, the Sponsor will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders. Such interests are described in more detail under the caption "*The Business Combination—Interests of the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and PCSC's Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.*" The PCSC Board took several steps to mitigate these potential conflicts of interest, including establishing the Special Committee, comprised of three independent directors of PCSC, and requiring Special Committee approval of the Business Combination as a condition precedent to the PCSC Board's approval of the Business Combination. The Special Committee also engaged Scalar to render an opinion and engaged Ropes & Gray and Maples as separate legal counsel to the Special Committee. Additionally, the Perceptive PIPE Investor's designee on the Freenome Board recused herself from Freenome Board discussions regarding the Business Combination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Public Shareholders Will Have a Minority Ownership Interest in New Freenome.*** The fact that current public shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Freenome Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and, as a result, such public shareholders will collectively own a minority interest in New Freenome after the Closing. As redemptions increase, the overall percentage ownership and voting percentage held by the Freenome stockholders, the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor and the PIPE Investors will increase as compared to the overall percentage ownership and voting percentage held by public shareholders, thereby increasing dilution to public shareholders. Having a minority ownership interest may reduce the influence that current public shareholders have on the management of New Freenome. For more information, see "*The Business Combination—Equity Ownership Upon Closing*" and "*Dilution*."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Absence of Possible Structural Protections for Minority Shareholders.*** The PCSC Board took several steps to mitigate potential conflicts of interest, including requiring Special Committee approval of the Business Combination as a condition precedent to the PCSC Board's approval of the Business Combination. However, other possible structural protections were not put in place. For example, the Business Combination does not require approval of a majority of unaffiliated security holders, and the Special Committee did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of unaffiliated security holders for purposes of negotiating the terms of the Business Combination or to prepare a report concerning the approval of the Business Combination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Other Risks.*** Various other risks associated with the Business Combination, the business of PCSC and the business of Freenome described under the section entitled "  ***Risk Factors*** ."

In recommending the Business Combination to PCSC shareholders, the Special Committee considered each of the above factors along with Scalar's opinion described below under the heading "*Opinion of Scalar, LLC*."

The Special Committee and the PCSC Board concluded that the potential benefits that they expected PCSC and its shareholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Special Committee and the PCSC Board determined that the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and consummated in connection with the Business Combination, are advisable and in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders, as a whole.

#### Benefits and Detriments of the Business Combination and PIPE Financing
The following describes the potential benefits and detriments to certain groups of stakeholders in connection with the Business Combination and PIPE Financing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***PCSC:*** The PCSC Board and the Special Committee determined that the Business Combination presents an attractive business opportunity in light of a variety of factors, including but not limited to Freenome's novel technology for early cancer detection, critical and valuable commercial partnerships, commercialization strategy, market opportunity, experienced leadership team, and the existence and size of the PIPE Financing. The Special Committee also reviewed the financial analysis and opinion of Scalar to the effect that, as of December 4, 2025 and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
conditions on the review undertaken, the consideration to be delivered to the Freenome Stockholders in the First Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to PCSC and the PCSC Unaffiliated Shareholders. The Special Committee and the PCSC Board also considered the potential detriments of the Business Combination to PCSC, including the regulatory risks, the uncertainty of the potential benefits of the Business Combination being achieved, macroeconomic risks, the absence of possible structural protections for minority shareholders, and the risks and costs to PCSC if the Business Combination is not achieved, including the risk that it may result in PCSC being unable to complete a business combination and force PCSC to liquidate. For more information, see "— *The Special Committee's and the PCSC Board's Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination*," and various risks described under the section entitled "*Risk Factors.*"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Sponsor and the Perceptive PIPE Investor:*** The Sponsor and the Perceptive PIPE Investor expect to receive substantial consideration in the Business Combination, including the following shares, calculated assuming the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition Redemptions Scenario: (i) 2,066,250 shares of New Freenome Common Stock upon the exchange of 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares in the Domestication, which were initially purchased by the Sponsor prior to PCSC's initial public offering for approximately $0.01 per share, and which will be voluntarily converted on a one-for-one basis into PCSC Class A Shares immediately prior to the Domestication, which will then automatically convert at the effective time of the Domestication into an equal number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock, valued at $10 per share, which is the assumed per share price used in the Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (ii) 286,250 shares of New Freenome Common Stock upon the exchange of 286,250 PCSC Class A Shares in the Domestication, which were initially purchased in a private placement that closed concurrently with PCSC's initial public offering for $10 per share, which will automatically convert at the effective time of the Domestication into an equal number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock valued at $10 per share, which is the assumed per share price used in the Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (iii) 5,500,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock, which is equal to the Perceptive PIPE Investor's $55 million PIPE Financing divided by $10, the price per share of New Freenome Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the PIPE Financing, and (v) an estimated 5,615,003 shares of New Freenome Common Stock upon the exchange of Freenome capital stock in the First Merger held by the Perceptive PIPE Investor, which is determined by reference to the estimated Conversion Ratio using the assumed per share price of $10 in the Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. The Sponsor and its affiliates, including Perceptive Advisors, LLC, are also entitled to continued indemnification by New Freenome following the Closing pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The Sponsor is also entitled to the repayment of any Working Capital Lonas made by the Sponsor (of which there are none as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus) and the payment of $15,000 per month by PCSC to the Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services pursuant to the Administrative Services and Indemnification Agreement dated June 11, 2024, by and between PCSC and the Sponsor. For more information, see "— *Compensation to be Received by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and PCSC's Officers and Directors in Connection with the Business Combination and PIPE Financing.*" The Sponsor will only be able to realize a return on their equity in PCSC (which may be materially higher than the return realized by public shareholders) if PCSC completes a business combination. In addition, the Sponsor faces potential detriments from the Business Combination, including the possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or the Sponsor's role in the Business Combination, and the risk that if the Business Combination is not achieved, PCSC may be unable to consummate a business combination and be forced to liquidate, resulting in the Sponsor's investment being worthless.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***PCSC Independent Directors:*** PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal) each own 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares, which will be exchanged for 30,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock in the Domestication. Such persons have waived any claim against the trust account for redemption of such PCSC Class B Shares. PCSC's independent directors are also entitled to the repayment of any out-of-pocket expenses (of which there are none as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus). Accordingly, in the event that PCSC liquidates, the PCSC independent directors may lose their entire investment. In addition, the PCSC directors face potential detriments from the Business Combination, including the possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or such directors' roles in the Business Combination.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Freenome:*** The Freenome Board and the Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee determined that the Business Combination presents an attractive business opportunity in light of certain factors, including that the Business Combination will expand both the access to capital for Freenome and the range of investors potentially available to Freenome as a public company, and taking into account Freenome's expected cash resources and need for additional capital to fund the development of its diagnostic tests, and the uniqueness of this particular potential Business Combination, as the negotiated transaction will result in the infusion of capital at the time of Closing. The Freenome Strategic Transaction Committee and Freenome Board also considered the potential detriments of the Business Combination to Freenome, including the possibility that the Business Combination might not be completed in a timely manner or at all, the uncertainty of the potential benefits of the Business Combination being achieved, the costs involved in connection with completing the Business Combination, and the time and effort of Freenome management required to complete the Business Combination. For more information, see "— *Freenome's Reasons for the Business Combination*" and various risks described under the section entitled "*Risk Factors.* "

***Unaffiliated PCSC public shareholders: The unaffiliated public shareholders have the opportunity to evaluate and consider whether or not to redeem their public shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Non-redeeming public shareholders will have the opportunity to participate in the potential future growth of Freenome, but may face a number of potential detriments in connection with their continued investment, including the uncertainties and risks identified by the PCSC Board described more fully in "— The Special Committee's and the PCSC Board's Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination," the various other risks associated with the Business Combination, the business of PCSC and the business of Freenome, as described further under the section entitled "Risk Factors," the potential conflicts of interest described under "— Interests of the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and PCSC's Directors and Officers in the Business Combination," and the potential material dilution they may experience as described more fully in the section entitled "Dilution." Redeeming public shareholders have the opportunity to receive their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the trust account, less taxes paid and payable, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. However, redeeming public shareholders face the potential of not realizing any future growth in value of Freenome following the Business Combination.***

#### Opinion of Scalar, LLC
On December 4, 2025, at a meeting of the Special Committee, Scalar rendered its oral opinion to the Special Committee, subsequently confirmed in writing, as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of such date, to (1) the PCSC Class A Shareholders (for purposes of such opinion and this summary, other than Freenome, the Sponsor, the Key Supporting Company Stockholders, the holders of PCSC Class A Shares who elect to redeem their shares prior to or in connection with the Business Combination, and the PIPE Investors, which we refer to collectively as the Excluded Parties) and (2) PCSC, of the Consideration (as defined in such opinion) to be paid by PCSC to the Freenome stockholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (without giving effect to any impact of the Business Combination on any particular PCSC Class A Shareholder other than in its capacity as a PCSC Class A Shareholder), based upon and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken, and other matters considered by Scalar in preparing its opinion. For purposes of Scalar's opinion and this summary, the "**Consideration**" consisted of the total number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock to be issued for the shares of common stock and preferred stock of Freenome (collectively, "**Company Shares**").

**The full text of Scalar's written opinion, dated December 4, 2025, which sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken, and other matters considered by Scalar in connection with the opinion, is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as <u>Annex L</u>. The summary of Scalar's opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Scalar's written opinion. Scalar's opinion was provided for the information and assistance of Special Committee and does not constitute a recommendation as to how any stockholder of PCSC should vote or act (including with respect to any redemption rights) with respect to the Business Combination or any other matter.** 

In arriving at its opinion, Scalar, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed a draft of the agreed form, dated November 12, 2025, of the Sponsor Letter Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed a draft, dated December 3, 2025, of the Business Combination Agreement;

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed a draft, dated November 3, 2025, of the Investor Subscription Agreements (the drafts described in these first three bullets, the "**Reviewed Transaction Documents** ");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information relating to PCSC and the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed certain historical financial information and other data relating to the Company that were provided to Scalar by the management of PCSC, approved for our use by PCSC and not publicly available;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed certain management data relating to the business prospects of the Company that were provided to Scalar by the management of PCSC, approved for Scalar's use by PCSC and not publicly available;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• conducted discussions with members of the senior management of the Company concerning the business, operations, historical financial results and financial prospects of the Company and its addressable market and the Business Combination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed current and historical market prices of the PCSC Class A Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed certain financial and market data of the Company and compared that data with publicly available data for certain other companies similar to Freenome;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed certain pro forma effects relating to the Business Combination, including estimated transaction costs and the effects of anticipated financings, approved for Scalar's use by PCSC; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations, and considered such other information, as Scalar deemed necessary or appropriate.

In performing its analysis and rendering its opinion, with PCSC's consent, Scalar relied upon and assumed, without assuming liability or responsibility for independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of information that was publicly available or was furnished, or otherwise made available to Scalar or discussed with or reviewed by Scalar. Scalar further relied upon the assurances of the management of PCSC that the financial information provided had been prepared on a reasonable basis in accordance with industry practice, and that they were not aware of any information or facts that would make any information provided to Scalar inaccurate, incomplete or misleading.

Scalar assumed that the Business Combination will have the tax consequences described in discussions with, and materials furnished to Scalar by, representatives of the Company or PCSC, including that (i) the Domestication qualifies as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, (ii) the Mergers, taken together, will be treated as an integrated transaction that qualifies as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, and (iii) the Mergers and the PIPE Financing, taken together, will be treated as an integrated transaction qualifying under Section 351(a) of the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Scalar is not a legal, accounting, regulatory, or tax expert and its opinion does not address any legal, regulatory, taxation, or accounting matters, as to which Scalar understood that PCSC obtained such advice as it deemed necessary from qualified professionals, and Scalar assumed the accuracy and veracity of all assessments made by such advisors to the Company or PCSC with respect to such matters.

In arriving at its opinion, with PCSC's consent and without independent verification, Scalar relied upon and assumed that except as would not be in any way meaningful to Scalar's analysis: (a) the final form of each of the Reviewed Transaction Documents, as executed by the parties thereto, will not differ from the drafts that Scalar reviewed, (b) the representations and warranties of all parties to the Business Combination Agreement, and any related transaction documents, are correct and that such parties will comply with and perform all covenants and agreements required to be complied with or performed by such parties under the Business Combination Agreement and any related transaction documents, (c) the Business Combination will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and related transaction documents, without any waiver or amendment of any term or condition thereof, and (d) there had been no material change in the assets, financial condition, business or prospects of any party to the Business Combination Agreement since the date of the most recent financial statements and other information made available to Scalar. Additionally, Scalar assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other third-party approvals and consents necessary for the consummation of the Business Combination or otherwise contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be obtained without delay, limitation, restriction or condition and otherwise in a way that will not have any adverse effect on the Company or PCSC, or on the expected benefits of the Business Combination, in any way meaningful to Scalar's analysis.

------

In addition, Scalar relied upon (without independent verification and without expressing any view, opinion, representation, guaranty or warranty (in each case, express or implied)) the assessments, judgments and estimates of PCSC's senior management and the Company's senior management as to, among other things, (a) the potential impact on the Company of market, competitive and other trends in and prospects for, and governmental, regulatory and legislative matters relating to or affecting, the industry in which the Company operates and related industries, (b) the Company's existing and future products, services, technology and intellectual property and the associated risks thereto (including, without limitation, the probabilities and timing of successful development and marketing thereof; the timing of successful regulatory approvals and clearances; compliance with relevant regulatory requirements; and the potential impact of competition thereon) and (c) PCSC's and the Company's existing and future relationships, agreements and arrangements with, and the ability to attract, retain and/or replace, key employees, suppliers and other commercial relationships (in each such case to the extent relevant to the Company, the Business Combination and its contemplated benefits). Scalar assumed that there will not be any developments with respect to any of the foregoing matters that would have an adverse effect on PCSC, the Company or the Business Combination (including the contemplated benefits thereof) or that otherwise would be meaningful in any respect to Scalar's analyses or opinion.

Given PCSC's nature as a special purpose acquisition company, for purposes of its opinion and with PCSC's consent, Scalar assumed a value of $10.61 per PCSC Share in calculating the value of the New Freenome Common Stock to be issued as the Consideration under the Business Combination Agreement, with such $10.61 per share value being based on (a) $91,550,673.98, which was the value of the assets held in PCSC's Trust Account as of November 30, 2025, divided by (b) 8,625,000, which was the number of outstanding PCSC Class A Shares subject to redemption as of October 31, 2025. In rendering its Opinion, Scalar did not express any view or opinion as to what the value of any PCSC Shares will be when issued pursuant to the Business Combination or the price or range of prices at which any PCSC Class A Shares, PCSC Class B Shares or other securities or financial instruments of or relating to PCSC may trade or otherwise be transferable at any time before or after announcement or consummation of the Business Combination. Additionally, Scalar expressed no opinion with respect to the PCSC Class B Shares and PCSC Preference Shares.

In arriving at its opinion, Scalar did not perform any appraisals or valuations of any specific assets or liabilities (fixed, contingent or other) of the Company or PCSC and Scalar was not furnished or provided with any such appraisals or valuations, nor did Scalar evaluate the solvency of the Company or PCSC under any state or federal law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. The analyses performed by Scalar in connection with its Opinion were going concern analyses, assuming the Business Combination was consummated in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Scalar did not undertake any independent analysis of any pending or threatened litigation, regulatory action, possible unasserted claims or other contingent liabilities, to which the Company or PCSC was a party or may be subject, and at PCSC's direction and with PCSC's consent, Scalar's opinion made no assumption concerning, and therefore did not consider, the possible assertion of claims, outcomes or damages arising out of any such matters.

Scalar's opinion was necessarily based upon economic, monetary, market, and other conditions as in effect on, the information available to Scalar as of, and the facts and circumstances as they existed on, the date of Scalar's written opinion and Scalar's opinion speaks only as of such date; events occurring after that date could materially affect the assumptions used in preparing Scalar's opinion. Scalar has not undertaken to update, reaffirm, or revise its opinion or otherwise comment upon any events occurring after the date of Scalar's written opinion, material information provided to Scalar after that date, or any change in facts or circumstances that occurred after that date, and Scalar does not have any obligation to update, revise, or reaffirm its opinion.

Scalar's opinion did not address PCSC's underlying business decision to engage in the Business Combination, the relative merits of the Business Combination as compared to other business or investment strategies or transactions that might be available to PCSC, or whether the Consideration to be delivered to Freenome stockholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement represents the best price obtainable. In connection with Scalar's engagement, Scalar was not requested to, and did not, solicit interest from other parties with respect to an acquisition of, or other business combination with, PCSC or any other alternative transaction. Scalar's opinion addressed only the fairness from a financial point of view, as of the date thereof, to PCSC Class A Shareholders (other than the Excluded Parties) of the Consideration to be paid by PCSC to the Freenome stockholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. Scalar was not asked to, and did not, offer any opinion as to the terms, other than the Consideration to the extent expressly specified therein, of the Business Combination Agreement or any related documents or the form of the Business Combination or any related transaction (including any agreement or transaction between any Excluded Party and the Company or PCSC), including the fairness of the Business Combination to, or any consideration received in connection therewith by, any Excluded Parties, the holders of any class of securities, creditors, or other constituencies

------

of PCSC, the Company, or any of their respective affiliates. Scalar was not asked to, and did not, offer any opinion with respect to any ongoing obligations of the Company, PCSC, or any of their respective affiliates (including any obligations with respect to governance, appraisal rights, preemptive rights, registration rights, voting rights, or otherwise) contained in any Reviewed Transaction Documents, any other agreement related to the Business Combination, or under applicable law, any allocation of the Consideration (or any portion thereof), or the fair market value of the Company, PCSC, PCSC's ordinary shares, or the Company Shares. In addition, Scalar expressed no opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be received by any officers, directors, or employees of any parties to the Business Combination, any Excluded Parties, or any class of such persons, whether relative to the Consideration or otherwise. Scalar's opinion (i) did not address the individual circumstances of specific holders of PCSC's securities (including PCSC Class B Shares and PCSC Preference Shares) with respect to rights or aspects which may distinguish such holders or PCSC's securities (including PCSC Class B Shares and PCSC Preference Shares) held by such holders, (ii) did not address, take into consideration or give effect to any existing or future rights, preferences, restrictions or limitations or other attributes of any such securities (including PCSC Class B Shares and PCSC Preference Shares) or holders (including the Sponsor), (iii) did not address any impact of the Business Combination on any particular PCSC Class A Shareholder other than in its capacity as a PCSC Class A Shareholder, and (iv) did not in any way address proportionate allocation or relative fairness (including, without limitation, the allocation of any consideration among or within any classes or groups of security holders or other constituents of PCSC or any other party). Scalar also did not address, or express a view with respect to, any acquisition of control or effective control of PCSC by any stockholder or group of stockholders of the Company. Scalar's opinion should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty of Scalar (or any of its affiliates) to any party.

Scalar's opinion was provided for the information and assistance of the Special Committee (in its capacity as such) in connection with, and for the purpose of, its evaluation of the Business Combination, and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote or act (including with respect to any redemption rights) with respect to the Business Combination or any other matter.

#### Summary of Scalar's Financial Analysis
The following is a summary of the material financial analyses delivered by Scalar to the Special Committee in connection with rendering the opinion described above. **The summary set forth below does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed or factors considered by, and underlying the opinion of, Scalar, nor does the order of the financial analyses described represent the relative importance or weight given to those financial analyses by Scalar. Scalar may have deemed various assumptions more or less probable than other assumptions, so the reference ranges resulting from any particular portion of the analyses summarized below should not be taken to be Scalar's view of the actual value of the Company. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses set forth below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary, as the tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses performed by Scalar. Considering the data in the tables below without considering all financial analyses or factors or the full narrative description of such analyses or factors, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying such analyses or factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying Scalar's financial analyses and its opinion.**

In performing its analyses, Scalar made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, primarily that the market conditions, the competitive landscape, and the regulatory environment for the Company's products would remain unchanged, and assumptions related to general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of PCSC, the Company, or any other parties to the Business Combination. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals or reflect the prices at which businesses or securities may actually be sold. Accordingly, the assumptions and estimates used in, and the results derived from, the financial analyses are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on November 30, 2025, and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

*Assumed Value of New Freenome Common Stock* 

Given PCSC's nature as a special purpose acquisition company, for purposes of its opinion and with PCSC's consent, Scalar assumed a value of $10.61 per PCSC Share in calculating the value of the New Freenome Common Stock to be issued as the Consideration under the Business Combination Agreement, with such $10.61 per share value being based on (a) $91,550,673.98, which was the value of the assets held in PCSC's Trust Account as of November 30,

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
2025, divided by (b) 8,625,000, which was the number of outstanding PCSC Class A Shares subject to redemption as of October 31, 2025. In rendering its opinion, Scalar did not express any view or opinion as to what the value of any PCSC Shares will be when issued pursuant to the Business Combination or the price or range of prices at which any PCSC Class A Shares, PCSC Class B Shares or other securities or financial instruments of or relating to PCSC may trade or otherwise be transferable at any time before or after announcement or consummation of the Business Combination.

*License Agreement Multiples Analysis* 

Scalar reviewed certain financial data for selected companies with publicly traded equity securities that had announced license agreements that Scalar deemed relevant for purposes of this analysis based on various factors, including the companies' product offerings within the biotech industry and their business model. The financial data reviewed included:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Licensor enterprise value as of seven days prior to announcement, or "**Licensor EV Pre-Announcement** ";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Licensor enterprise value as of 30 days post-announcement, or "**Licensor EV Post-Announcement** ";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The announced nominal value of the potential license payments the licensor could receive pursuant to the license agreement, or "**Potential License Payments** ";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The change in enterprise value between the Licensor EV Pre-Announcement and the Licensor EV Post-Announcement, or "**Change in EV** "; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Change in EV divided by the Potential License Payments, or "**Implied Multiple**."

The selected licensors and corresponding financial data included the following:

Taking into account the results of the license agreement multiples analysis, Scalar applied a selected multiple range of 0.65x to 0.85x, which is within the range of observed implied multiples. Scalar observed a positive correlation between the Potential License Payments and the Implied Multiples, and Scalar noted that the total Announced Potential Value of Freenome's license agreements ranked within the top quartile of the observed data. Given the total Announced Potential Value of Freenome's license agreements and its positioning within the observed dataset, Scalar selected a 0.75x multiple as the midpoint of the range. The selected range of 0.65x and 0.85x is supported by the Implied Multiples from the selected licensors, and aligns with the third quartile and top quartile of the Implied Multiples that Scalar observed. These multiples are applied to the license agreement between Freenome and Exact Sciences with remaining announced potential value of $760 million, and estimated a remaining value between $494 million and $646 million for this license agreement. The $760 million figure is the result of reducing the total announced $885 million potential value for the $50 million convertible note investment received by Freenome and for the $75 million upfront cash payment Freenome received in November 2025 from Exact Sciences pursuant to this license agreement. Scalar, based on its own expertise, applied the selected multiple range of 0.65x and 0.85x to the license agreement between Freenome and Roche with remaining announced potential value of $134 million, and estimated a value between $87 million and $114 million for this license agreement. The $134 million figure is the result of reducing the total announced $209 million potential value for the $75 million convertible note that Freenome has already received from Roche. Scalar summed the aforementioned Exact Sciences license agreement and Roche license agreement values, and concluded a total value of Freenome's license agreements between $581 million and $760 million and added pro forma net cash of $552 million, which was the sum of (i) the $60.2 million in cash on Freenome's balance sheet as of June 30, 2025, (ii) an assumed

------

$250 million of proceeds from the PIPE Financing, as directed by PCSC management, (iii) the $75 million proceeds from Roche's convertible note investment into Freenome, (iv) the $50 million proceeds from Exact Sciences Convertible Note investment into Freenome, (v) the $75 million upfront payment by Exact Sciences to Freenome pursuant to the Exact Sciences license agreement, and (vi) the $91.6 million in cash in the Trust Account as of November 30, 2025, less the $50 million of debt on Freenome's balance sheet as of June 30, 2025, to the total value of Freenome's license agreements to calculate implied total equity value. The license agreement multiples analysis indicated implied total equity value reference ranges for Freenome of approximately $1,133,000,000 to $1,312,000,000, as compared to the fully-diluted value of the Consideration (as described and calculated below under "—*Pro Forma Consideration Analysis*") of $1,259,657,005*.*

Scalar noted that the fully-diluted value of the Consideration was within the above range, which in Scalar's view supported its assessment of the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to (1) the PCSC Class A Shareholders (other than the Excluded Parties) and (2) PCSC.

*Cost to Recreate Analysis – All Assets* 

Scalar reviewed Freenome's research and development expenses beginning January 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2025. Research and development expenses incurred before 2021 were excluded on the basis that earlier development efforts were no longer relevant due to significant advancements in the underlying technology. The analysis included:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Freenome's research and development expense for annual periods, or "**R&D Expense** ";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The estimated required rate of return on R&D Expense, or "**Yearly Return** ";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The product of Time Elapsed and Yearly Return, or "**Total Expected Return** ";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The product of R&D Expense and Total Expected Return, or "**Entrepreneurial Incentive** "; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The sum of the R&D Expense and the Entrepreneurial Incentive, or "**Cost to Recreate** "

As an illustrative example, the analysis, with an assumed Yearly Return of 25%, follows:

*Obsolescence Adjustment Support* 

Scalar reviewed certain financial data for selected transactions that Scalar deemed relevant for purposes of the cost to recreate analysis to support an obsolescence adjustment to account for R&D Expense that is attributable to obsolete parts of Freenome's product and technology. The analysis includes companies that were acquired in the selected transactions, which Scalar chose based on various factors, such as the acquired companies' product offerings within the biotech industry and their business model. The financial data reviewed included:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The estimated period over which the applicable asset is expected to contribute a company's future cash flows before becoming obsolete, or "**Useful Life** "; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The inverse of the Useful Life, or "**Annual Obsolescence** "

Based on its review of the acquired companies in the selected transactions, Scalar applied an obsolescence adjustment to the cost to recreate analysis by applying Annual Obsolescence to the cost to recreate analysis. The analysis included:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 100% less the product of Time Elapsed, rounded to the nearest integer, and the Annual Obsolescence, or "**Obsolescence Adjustment** "; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The product of the Cost to Recreate and Obsolescence Adjustment, or "**Total Cost to Recreate** "

As an illustrative example, the cost to recreate analysis with an assumed Yearly Return of 25%, with a selected 17.5% Annual Obsolescence applied, follows:

Scalar, based on its own expertise, performed the aforementioned cost to recreate analysis using selected Yearly Returns ranging from 20% to 30%. The selected range was informed by published required rate of return studies, such as the 2025 Pepperdine Private Capital Markets Study that reports required rates of return ranging from 23% to 32% for late-stage companies and the required rates of return studies by Scherlis, et al. and Shalman et al. that suggest a range of 20% to 35% for Bridge/IPO stage companies. The selected range of 20% to 30% falls within the ranges observed in these studies and was selected given the Company's stage of development.

Scalar selected Annual Obsolescence between 15% and 20%. Using the Yearly Return and Annual Obsolescence inputs, the cost to recreate analysis indicated implied total equity value reference ranges for Freenome of approximately $1,214,000,000 to $1,452,000,000, as compared to the Fully-Diluted Value of the Transaction Consideration (as described and calculated below under "—*Pro Forma Consideration Analysis*") of $1,259,657,005*.*

Scalar noted that the fully-diluted value of the Consideration was within the above range, which in Scalar's view supported its assessment of the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to (1) the PCSC Class A Shareholders (other than the Excluded Parties) and (2) PCSC.

*Pro Forma Consideration Analysis* 

Utilizing pro forma ownership information provided by PCSC management and the assumptions described above (assuming a value of $10.61 per share of New Freenome Common Stock), Scalar calculated the aggregate implied value of the pro forma shares of New Freenome Common Stock outstanding following the consummation of the Business Combination. These calculations are summarized below:

Scalar noted that the fully-diluted value of the Consideration, as described above, was within the reference ranges calculated in the licensing agreement analysis and the cost to recreate analysis described above, which in Scalar's view supported its assessment of the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to (1) the PCSC Class A Shareholders (other than the Excluded Parties) and (2) PCSC.

*Implied Pro Forma Share Value Analysis* 

Utilizing the implied total equity value reference ranges for Freenome from the licensing agreement multiples analysis and cost to recreate analysis, the pro forma ownership information provided by PCSC management and the assumptions described above, Scalar calculated the implied pro forma value of a share of New Freenome Common Stock after giving effect to the Business Combination. This analysis took into consideration the impact of the pro forma dilution described above in calculating the fully-diluted value of the Consideration. These calculations are summarized below:

Scalar noted that the assumed value of a share of New Freenome Common Stock of $10.61 was within the reference ranges calculated by the average of the licensing agreement and cost to recreate analyses described above, which in Scalar's view supported its assessment of the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to (1) the PCSC Class A Shareholders (other than the Excluded Parties) and (2) PCSC.

*General* 

The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting portions of the analyses or of the summary set forth above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying Scalar's opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, Scalar considered the results of all of its analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any factor or analysis considered by it. Rather, Scalar made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of its analyses. No company or transaction used in the above analyses as a comparison is directly comparable to PCSC or Freenome or the Business Combination.

Scalar's financial analyses and opinion were only one of many factors taken into consideration by the Special Committee in its evaluation of the Business Combination. Consequently, the analyses described above should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the Special Committee, the PCSC Board, or management of PCSC with respect to the Consideration or as to whether the Special Committee would have been willing to determine that different consideration was fair to PCSC and its shareholders. The Consideration was determined through arm's-length negotiations between PCSC and the Company and was approved by the Special Committee and the PCSC Board. Scalar did not advise the PCSC Board during these negotiations, nor did it recommend any specific amount of consideration to PCSC, the Special Committee or the PCSC Board or that any specific amount of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Business Combination. The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Scalar in connection with the fairness opinion and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the written opinion of Scalar attached hereto as **Annex L**.

Scalar and its affiliates are engaged in transaction advisory, financial reporting, litigation consulting, tax and other financial and non-financial activities and services for various persons and entities. Scalar was engaged by the Special

------

Committee to render its opinion to the Special Committee and Scalar received a fee of $225,000 from PCSC for providing its services and rendering its opinion. No portion of these fees was refundable or contingent upon the consummation of the Business Combination or the conclusion reached in Scalar's opinion. PCSC has also agreed to indemnify Scalar against certain liabilities and reimburse Scalar for certain expenses in connection with Scalar's services. In the past two years, Scalar and its affiliates have not provided any other advisory services to PCSC or its affiliates for which Scalar and its affiliates received compensation. Since January 1, 2024, Scalar has performed valuation services for affiliates of the Sponsor for which Scalar received approximately $340,000 in aggregate compensation. Scalar and its affiliates may also seek to provide such services to the Company, PCSC, and their respective affiliates in the future and expect to receive fees for the rendering of these services. In the ordinary course of business, certain of Scalar's employees and affiliates, or entities in which they have invested, may hold or trade, for their own accounts and the accounts of their investors, securities of the Company and PCSC and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

The issuance of Scalar's opinion was approved by an authorized committee of Scalar.

The Special Committee selected Scalar to provide its opinion in connection with the Business Combination based on Scalar's reputation and experience. Scalar is a valuation firm that has substantial experience in transactions similar to the Business Combination.

#### Interests of PCSC's Directors and Executive Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination
In considering the recommendation of the PCSC Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposal, each of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, PCSC shareholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and PCSC's officers and directors have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) the interests of unaffiliated PCSC shareholders. Further, PCSC's officers and directors have additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity, which are set forth in more detail in the section titled "*Information About PCSC—Conflicts of Interest*." We believe there were no such opportunities that were not presented as a result of the existing fiduciary or contractual obligations of our officers and directors to other entities. The PCSC Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and Business Combination Agreement and in recommending to our shareholders that they vote in favor of the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. PCSC shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Sponsor invested in PCSC an aggregate of $2,887,500, comprised of the $25,000 purchase price for 2,156,250 PCSC Class B Shares, or approximately $0.01 per share, and the $2,862,500 purchase price for 286,250 private placement shares at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Subsequent to the initial purchase of the PCSC Class B Shares by the Sponsor, the Sponsor transferred 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares, to each of PCSC's three independent directors, being Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song M.D., and Harlan W. Waksal, M.D. Such shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination or be worthless if the Business Combination is not consummated and PCSC is liquidated. Assuming a trading price of $13.58 per share of New Freenome Common Stock (based upon the closing price of the PCSC Class A Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on January 6, 2026), such 2,442,500 shares of New Freenome Common Stock that are expected to be issued to our initial shareholders at Closing would have an implied aggregate market value of $33.12 million (based upon the closing price of the PCSC Class A Shares on January 6, 2026). However, given that such shares of New Freenome Common Stock will be subject to certain restrictions, including those described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, PCSC believes such shares of New Freenome Common Stock have less value. Even if the trading price of the New Freenome Common Stock were as low as approximately $1.19 per share, the aggregate market value of such shares of New Freenome Common Stock held by the initial shareholders would be approximately equal to the initial investment in PCSC by the initial shareholders. Therefore, the Sponsor and its affiliates could earn a positive rate of return on their investments, even if other PCSC shareholders experience a negative rate of return in New Freenome and PCSC's directors and officers and the Sponsor may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate an initial business combination;

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that, as a result of the low purchase price paid for the PCSC Class B Shares, if the Business Combination is completed, the Sponsor and PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal) are likely to be able to make a substantial profit on their investment in PCSC even at a time when the New Freenome Common Stock has lost significant value. Accordingly, the economic interests of the Sponsor and PCSC's independent directors diverge from the economic interests of public shareholders because the Sponsor and PCSC's independent directors will realize a gain on its investment from the completion of any business combination while public shareholders will realize a gain only if the post-closing trading price exceeds $10.00 per share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the initial shareholders have agreed not to redeem any PCSC Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the initial shareholders have agreed to vote any PCSC Shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the initial shareholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any PCSC Shares (other than public shares subsequently acquired by them) held by them if the Business Combination is not approved and PCSC fails to complete the Business Combination by June 13, 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of PCSC's existing directors and officers and requires PCSC to purchase, or cause to be purchased, at or prior to the Effective Time, and New Freenome to maintain in effect for a period of six years after the Effective Time, a "tail" policy providing directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage for certain PCSC directors and officers after the Business Combination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Sponsor and PCSC's officers and directors will lose their entire investment in PCSC and will not be reimbursed for any loans extended, fees due or out-of-pocket expenses incurred on PCSC's behalf related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination if the Business Combination is not consummated by June 13, 2026. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, PCSC does not owe the Sponsor any outstanding sums pursuant to any working capital loans, promissory notes, the existing administrative services and indemnification agreement between PCSC and the Sponsor, or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that, in connection with the Closing and immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Sponsor may elect to contribute Working Capital Loans, of up to $3,000,000, to PCSC in exchange for Working Capital Shares, which are convertible at the option of the Sponsor into shares of New Freenome Common Stock, at a conversion price of $10.00 per share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that if the trust account is liquidated, including in the event PCSC is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify PCSC to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the trust account, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which PCSC has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to PCSC, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated by June 13, 2026, PCSC will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding PCSC Class A Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and the PCSC Board, liquidating and dissolving;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Investor Rights Agreement was entered into with the initial shareholders, the Perceptive PIPE Investor and certain Freenome stockholders, which, among other things, (a) gives the initial shareholders, the Perceptive PIPE Investor and certain Freenome stockholders certain registration rights, including the right to have the offer and sale of their shares of New Freenome Common Stock registered on a resale registration statement to be filed by New Freenome shortly after the consummation of the Business Combination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Sponsor Letter Agreement was executed with the initial shareholders, pursuant to which the initial shareholders, among other things, waive all adjustments to the conversion ratio set forth in the Existing Governing Documents with respect to the PCSC Class B Shares, and agree to be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to PCSC Shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. No consideration has been or will be paid to PCSC, Freenome or the initial shareholders in connection with the entry into the Sponsor Letter Agreement;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Perceptive PIPE Investor has entered into a subscription agreement to purchase 5,500,000 shares in the PIPE Financing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement executed by the Perceptive PIPE Investor. For more information on the assumptions underlying the number of shares described in the foregoing as being issuable on the Closing Date, please see "*Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and PCSC—PCSC shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Freenome Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that PCSC's current shareholders have on the management of New Freenome*;"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that the Perceptive PIPE Investor, which is an affiliate of the Sponsor and certain of PCSC's directors and officers, has a fully diluted equity ownership stake in Freenome of 7.89% (representing shares of Series B, C, D and F Freenome Preferred Stock), which, assuming a no redemption scenario, will convert into 5,615,003 shares of New Freenome Common Stock, or an approximately 12.04% equity stake in New Freenome in connection with the Business Combination. PCSC estimates that, at the Closing, if unrestricted and freely tradeable, such shares would be valued at approximately $184.1 million, based on the $13.58 closing price of the PCSC Class A Shares on January 6, 2026. However, given that such shares of New Freenome Common Stock will be subject to certain restrictions, including those described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, PCSC believes such shares have less value. See the assumptions underlying such ownership percentages described in the section entitled "*Beneficial Ownership of Securities*" and more information to consider under "*Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and PCSC—PCSC shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Freenome Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that PCSC's current shareholders have on the management of New Freenome*." Actual number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock issuable on the Closing Date will be determined pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements and the Business Combination Agreement, as applicable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that Dr. Hukkelhoven, an executive officer of the Perceptive PIPE Investor, is a director of Freenome;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that Joseph Edelman, Adam Stone, Michael Altman and Sam Cohn are affiliated with the Perceptive PIPE Investor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the right of the Sponsor and the Perceptive PIPE Investor to hold shares of New Freenome Common Stock following the Business Combination, subject to the terms and conditions of the lock-up restrictions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that PCSC may be entitled to distribute or pay over funds held by PCSC outside the Trust Account to the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates prior to the Closing.

The securities to be issued to the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and PCSC's officers and directors may result in a material dilution of the equity interests of non-redeeming public shareholders. PCSC's independent directors are not members of the Sponsor and are not affiliates of the Perceptive PIPE Investor. None of the funds in the trust account will be used to compensate our officers or directors. Except for administrative services fees and office rental fees paid or to be paid to the Sponsor, no compensation of any kind, including finder's and consulting fees, have been paid or will be paid to the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. However, as detailed above, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations, as discussed above. The reimbursement of expenses and advances to the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and PCSC's officers and directors may result in a material dilution of the equity interests of non-redeeming public shareholders.

#### Certain Engagements in Connection with the Business Combination
PCSC engaged Jefferies and Leerink Partners as joint lead placement agents of the PIPE Financing, and PCSC engaged Jefferies as its lead financial advisor and lead capital markets advisor, and Leerink Partners as its joint capital markets advisor. PCSC agreed to pay each of Jefferies and Leerink Partners a fee equal to $2.0 million at the Closing.

In addition, each of Jefferies and Leerink Partners is a full-service securities firm engaged in a wide range of activities for its own accounts and the accounts of others including securities underwriting, trading and brokerage activities, financing, investment banking and management, prime brokerage, individual wealth management, commodities and derivatives trading, foreign exchange, and financial advisory services. Each of Jefferies and Leerink Partners (and each their respective affiliates, directors and officers), in the course of their business, may, for its own account or the accounts of others, hold long or short positions, finance positions, and may trade or otherwise structure

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
and effect transactions, in any of PCSC's or any other company's debt or equity securities or loans or any related derivative instrument. In addition, at any given time each of the placement agents and/or any of their affiliates may have been and/or could be engaged by one or more entities that may be competitors with, or otherwise adverse to, PCSC in matters unrelated to any proposed transaction.

#### Expected Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination
See the section entitled "*Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information—Anticipated Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination.*"

#### Regulatory Matters
Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the FTC, certain transactions may not be consummated unless information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The Business Combination is subject to these requirements and may not be completed until the expiration of a 30-day waiting period following the filing of the required Notification and Report Forms with the Antitrust Division and the FTC or until early termination is granted. If the FTC or the Antitrust Division issues a second request within the initial 30-day waiting period, the waiting period with respect to the Business Combination will be extended for an additional period of 30 calendar days, which will begin on the date on which the filing parties each certify compliance with the second request. Complying with a second request can take a significant period of time.

Each of PCSC and Freenome filed a Notification and Report Form with the FTC and the Antitrust Division in connection with the Business Combination on December 29, 2025. The initial 30-day waiting period will expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on January 28, 2026.

At any time before or after consummation of the Business Combination, notwithstanding termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the applicable competition authorities could take such action under applicable antitrust laws as each deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Business Combination. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. There is no assurance that the Antitrust Division, the FTC, any state attorney general, or any other government authority will not attempt to challenge the Business Combination on antitrust grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, we cannot assure you as to its result.

Neither PCSC nor Freenome is aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination other than the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

#### Vote Required for Approval
The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal.

The Business Combination Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Business Combination Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by shareholders of PCSC. The initial shareholders collectively own 2,442,500 ordinary shares of PCSC, or approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares as follows: (i) the Sponsor owns 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares and 286,250 private placement shares, which are PCSC Class A Shares; and (ii) the PCSC independent directors each own 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares, for an aggregate of 90,000 PCSC Class B Shares. We will need at least 1,246,667 PCSC Shares, in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders, to constitute a quorum. Accordingly, we will need 5,533,751 PCSC Shares, or 3,091,251 public shares in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders, to vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal to approve it if all PCSC Shares are present and cast votes. If only the minimum quorum is present, no public shares will be required to vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal to approve it.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Resolution
The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

**"RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that subject to the approval of the Domestication Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the entry of PCSC into the Business Combination Agreement, dated December 5, 2025 (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the "*Business Combination Agreement*"), by and among PCSC, StarNet Merger Sub I, Corp., StarNet Merger Sub II, LLC, and Freenome Holdings, Inc. (in the form attached to the proxy statement/prospectus of the meeting as Annex A), the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the performance by PCSC of its obligations thereunder thereby be ratified, approved, adopted and confirmed in all respects."** 

#### Recommendation of the PCSC Board

#### THE PCSC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE PCSC SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.
The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of PCSC's directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders, as a whole, and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, PCSC's officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled "*—Interests of PCSC's Directors and Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination*" for a further discussion of these considerations.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL

#### Overview
As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, PCSC is asking its Class B Shareholders to approve, by special resolution, a change of PCSC's jurisdiction of incorporation by de-registering as an exempted company from the Cayman Registrar and transfer by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to migrate to and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with the Existing Governing Documents, Section 388 of the DGCL, and Part 12 of the Cayman Companies Act. To effect the Domestication, PCSC will (i) file a notice of de-registration with the Cayman Registrar, together with the necessary accompanying documents, (ii) file a Certificate of Domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, together with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, in each case, in accordance with the provisions thereof and Section 388 of the DGCL, and (iii) obtain a certificate of de-registration from the Cayman Registrar, pursuant to which PCSC will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation. In connection with the Domestication and simultaneously with the Business Combination, the corporate name of PCSC will change to Freenome, Inc. The Domestication is to occur one business day prior to the prior to the Closing Date.

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the approval of the Domestication Proposal is also a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination.

In accordance with applicable law, the Certificate of Domestication will provide that at the effective time of the Domestication, by virtue of the Domestication, and without any action on the part of any shareholder, each then issued and outstanding PCSC Class A Share will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of New Freenome Common Stock.

The Domestication Proposal, if approved, will approve a change of PCSC's jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while PCSC is currently governed by the Cayman Companies Act, upon the Domestication, New Freenome will be governed by the DGCL. We encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under "*Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights*." Additionally, we note that if the Domestication Proposal is approved, then PCSC will also ask its Class B Shareholders to approve the Governing Documents Proposals (discussed below), which, if approved, will replace the Existing Governing Documents with a new certificate of incorporation and bylaws of New Freenome under the DGCL. The Proposed Governing Documents differ in certain material respects from the Existing Governing Documents and we encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under "*Governing Documents Proposals*," the Existing Governing Documents of PCSC, attached as exhibit 3.1 of this registration statement on Form S-4 and the Proposed Governing Documents of New Freenome, attached hereto as **Annex H** and **Annex I**.

#### Reasons for the Domestication
Our board of directors believes that there are significant advantages to us that will arise as a result of a change of our domicile to Delaware and it would be in the best interests of PCSC, simultaneously with the completion of the Business Combination, to effect the Domestication. Further, our board of directors believes that any direct benefit that the DGCL provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits its stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation. In addition, because Freenome principally operates within the U.S., it was the view of our board of directors that New Freenome should be structured as a corporation organized in the U.S. The board of directors believes that there are several reasons why a reincorporation in Delaware is in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders, as a whole. As explained in more detail below, these additional reasons can be summarized as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Prominence, Predictability, and Flexibility of Delaware Law*. For many years Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in its state and, in furtherance of that policy, has been a leader in adopting, construing, and implementing comprehensive, flexible corporate laws responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations organized under its laws. Many corporations have chosen Delaware initially as a state of incorporation or have subsequently changed corporate domicile to Delaware. Because of Delaware's prominence as the state of incorporation for many major corporations, both the legislature and courts in Delaware have demonstrated the ability and a willingness to act quickly and effectively to meet changing business needs. The DGCL is frequently revised and updated to accommodate changing legal and business needs and is more comprehensive, widely used and interpreted than other state corporate laws. This favorable corporate and regulatory environment is attractive to businesses such as Freenome's.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Well-Established Principles of Corporate Governance*. There is substantial judicial precedent in the Delaware courts as to the legal principles applicable to measures that may be taken by a corporation and to the conduct of a company's board of directors, such as under the business judgment rule and other standards. Because the judicial system is based largely on legal precedents, the abundance of Delaware case law provides clarity and predictability to many areas of corporate law. We believe such clarity would be advantageous to New Freenome, its board of directors and management to make corporate decisions and take corporate actions with greater assurance as to the validity and consequences of those decisions and actions. Further, investors and securities professionals are generally more familiar with Delaware corporations, and the laws governing such corporations, increasing their level of comfort with Delaware corporations relative to other jurisdictions. The Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues, and a substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to corporate legal affairs. Moreover, Delaware's vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for New Freenome's stockholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Increased Ability to Attract and Retain Qualified Directors*. Reincorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware is attractive to directors, officers, and stockholders alike. New Freenome's incorporation in Delaware may make New Freenome more attractive to future candidates for our board of directors, because many such candidates are already familiar with Delaware corporate law from their past business experience. To date, we have not experienced difficulty in retaining directors or officers, but directors of public companies are exposed to significant potential liability. Thus, candidates' familiarity and comfort with Delaware laws—especially those relating to director indemnification (as discussed below)—draw such qualified candidates to Delaware corporations. Our board of directors therefore believes that providing the benefits afforded directors by Delaware law will enable New Freenome to compete more effectively with other public companies in the recruitment of talented and experienced directors and officers. Moreover, Delaware's vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for our stockholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

The frequency of claims and litigation pursued against directors and officers has greatly expanded the risks facing directors and officers of corporations in carrying out their respective duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to such claims and to defend such litigation can be substantial. While both Cayman and Delaware law permit a corporation to include a provision in its governing documents to reduce or eliminate the monetary liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty in certain circumstances, we believe that, in general, Delaware law is more developed and provides more guidance than Cayman law on matters regarding a company's ability to limit director liability. As a result, we believe that the corporate environment afforded by Delaware will enable the surviving corporation to compete more effectively with other public companies in attracting and retaining new directors.

#### Reasons for Name Change
Our board of directors believes that it would be in the best interests of PCSC to, in connection with the Domestication and simultaneously with the Business Combination, change its corporate name to Freenome, Inc. to more accurately reflect the business purpose and activities of Freenome.

#### Regulatory Approvals; Third-Party Consents
PCSC is not required to make any filings or to obtain any approvals or clearances from any antitrust regulatory authorities in the U.S. or other countries in order to complete the Domestication. However, because the Domestication is intended to occur one business day prior to the Business Combination, it will not occur unless the Business Combination can be completed, which will require the approvals as described under "*Business Combination Proposal*." PCSC must comply with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the Domestication, including the filing with Nasdaq of a press release disclosing the Domestication, among other things.

The Domestication will not breach any covenants or agreements binding upon PCSC and will not be subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirements, except compliance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and Delaware necessary to effect the Domestication.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Expected Accounting Treatment of the Domestication
There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the consolidated assets and liabilities of PCSC as a result of the Domestication. The business, capitalization, assets and liabilities and financial statements of New Freenome immediately following the Domestication will be the same as those of PCSC immediately prior to the Domestication.

#### Vote Required for Approval
Approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution of the Class B Shareholders, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds majority of the votes cast by the holders of issued and outstanding PCSC Class B Shares who, being present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The holders of the PCSC Class A Shares will have no right to vote on the Domestication Proposal, in accordance with Article 34.2 of the Existing Governing Documents. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting and otherwise will have no effect on the Domestication Proposal because the Domestication Proposal requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of votes cast and an abstention and broker non-vote is not a vote cast.

The Domestication Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Domestication Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of PCSC Class B Shares.

The outstanding PCSC Class B Shares are exclusively owned by the initial shareholders, being the Sponsor and PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal). Accordingly, the initial shareholders will be able to approve the Domestication Proposal without the vote of any other shareholder of PCSC.

#### Resolution
The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

"**RESOLVED**, as a special resolution of the Class B Shareholders, that subject to the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, PCSC de-register from the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands and transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware pursuant to Part 12 of the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands and Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and, immediately upon being de-registered in the Cayman Islands, PCSC be continued and domesticated as a corporation under the laws of the state of Delaware and, conditional upon, and with effect from, the registration of PCSC as a corporation in the State of Delaware, the name of PCSC be changed from "Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp" to "Freenome, Inc."

#### Recommendation of the PCSC Board

#### THE PCSC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT CLASS B SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL.
The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of PCSC's directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders, as a whole, and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, the Sponsor and PCSC's officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Interests of PCSC's Directors and Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination*" for a further discussion of these considerations.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### GOVERNING DOCUMENTS PROPOSALS
If the Domestication Proposal is approved and the Business Combination is consummated, PCSC will replace the Existing Governing Documents, with a proposed new certificate of incorporation (the "***Proposed Certificate of Incorporation***") and proposed new bylaws (the "***Proposed Bylaws***" and, together with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the "***Proposed Governing Documents***") of New Freenome, in each case, under the DGCL.

PCSC's Class B Shareholders are asked to consider and vote upon and to adopt by special resolution the Proposed Governing Documents, replacing the Existing Governing Documents. We refer to this proposal as the "Governing Documents Proposal."

The Governing Documents Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Governing Documents Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of PCSC Class B Shares.

The following is a summary of the key changes effected by the Proposed Governing Documents:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. *Name Change*: Change our name from Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp to "Freenome, Inc."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. *Corporate Purpose*: Provide that the purpose of the post-combination company is "to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the DGCL" and to delete all provisions pertaining to a blank-check company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. *Authorized Shares*: Provide for a single class of common stock of New Freenome, entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote (other than certain amendments relating to preferred stock) and provide for a capital structure of Freenome that will enable it to continue as an operating company governed by the DGCL. The capital structure of PCSC will be changed from (i) 479,000,000 PCSC Class A Shares, 20,000,000 PCSC Class B Shares and 1,000,000 preference shares to (ii) 1,000,000,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of undesignated New Freenome preferred stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. *Exclusive Forum Provisions*: Establish that, unless New Freenome consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of New Freenome, (ii) any action asserting a claim of, or a claim based on, a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee or stockholder of New Freenome to New Freenome or New Freenome's stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or the Proposed Bylaws (including the interpretation, validity or enforceability thereof) or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine; provided, however, that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to any causes of action arising under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, or to any claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Unless New Freenome consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the U.S. shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. *Adoption of Supermajority Vote Requirement in certain instances*: Establish that the Proposed Bylaws may be amended by the New Freenome Board or by the stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote on such amendment, voting as a single class; provided that if the New Freenome Board recommends that stockholders approve such amendment, it shall only require a majority vote.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. *Removal of Directors*: Provide that any director may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at an election of directors, subject to the rights, if any, of any series of New Freenome preferred stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. *Action by Written Consent of the Stockholders*: Eliminate the right of stockholders to act by written consent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. *Provisions Related to Status as Blank Check Company*: Provide for certain amendments to better reflect New Freenome's existence as an operating company. For example, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation would remove the requirement to dissolve New Freenome and allow it to continue as a corporate entity with perpetual existence following the consummation of the Business Combination.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Reasons for the Amendments
The PCSC Board's reasons for proposing the Proposed Governing Documents are set forth below. The following is a summary of the key changes effected by the Proposed Governing Documents, but this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Proposed Governing Documents, copies of which are included as **Annex H** and **Annex I**:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. *Names Change*: Currently, our name is Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp. The PCSC Board believes the name of the post-combination company should more closely align with the name of the post-Business Combination operating business and therefore has proposed the name change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. *Corporate Purpose*: The PCSC Board believes this change is appropriate to remove language applicable to a blank check company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. *Authorized Shares*: The principal purpose of this proposal is to provide for an authorized capital structure of New Freenome that will enable it to continue as an operating company governed by the DGCL. The PCSC Board believes that it is important for New Freenome to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock sufficient to support its growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. *Adoption of Supermajority Vote Requirement in certain instances*: The Existing Governing Documents provide that amendments may be made by a special resolution under the Cayman Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at a general meeting (provided that Article 17.5 may only be amended by a special resolution passed by holders representing at least two-thirds of the outstanding PCSC Class B Shares and any only the Class B Shareholders carry the right to vote on any special resolution required to amend the constitutional documents of PCSC or to adopt new constitutional documents of PCSC in each case as a result of PCSC approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands).

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Any amendment to the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will generally require approval by holders of at least a majority of New Freenome's then outstanding common stock (except where a lower threshold is provided by the DGCL). The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Proposed Bylaws may be amended by the New Freenome Board or by the stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote on such amendment, voting as a single class; provided that if the New Freenome Board recommends that stockholders approve such amendment, it shall only require a majority vote. The amendments are intended to protect the Proposed Bylaws and certain key provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation from arbitrary amendment and to prevent a simple majority of stockholders from taking actions that may be harmful to other stockholders or making changes to provisions that are intended to protect all stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. *Removal of Directors*: The Existing Governing Documents provide that before a business combination, holders of PCSC Class B Shares may appoint or remove any director, and that after a business combination, shareholders may by ordinary resolution appoint or remove any director. Under the DGCL, unless a company's certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, removal of a director only for cause is automatic with a classified board, provided that any director may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at an election of directors, subject to the rights, if any, of any series of preferred stock. The PCSC Board believes that such a standard will (i) increase board continuity and the likelihood that experienced board members with familiarity of New Freenome's business operations would serve on the board at any given time and (ii) make it more difficult for a potential acquiror or other person, group or entity to gain control of the New Freenome Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. *Action by Written Consent of the Stockholders*: Under the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, New Freenome's stockholders will have the ability to propose items of business (subject to the restrictions set forth therein) at duly convened stockholder meetings. Eliminating the right of stockholders to act by written consent limits the circumstances under which stockholders can act on their own initiative to remove directors, or alter or amend New Freenome's governing documents outside of a duly called special or annual meeting of the stockholders of New Freenome. Further, the PCSC Board believes continuing to limit stockholders' ability to act by written consent will (i) reduce the time and effort the New Freenome Board and management would need to devote to stockholder proposals, which time and effort could distract New Freenome's directors and management from other important company business and (ii) facilitate transparency and fairness by allowing all stockholders to consider, discuss, and vote on pending stockholder actions. In addition, the elimination of the stockholders' ability to act by written consent may have certain anti-takeover effects by forcing a potential acquirer to take control of the board of directors only at a duly called special or annual meeting. However, this proposal is not in response to any effort of which PCSC is aware to obtain control of New Freenome, and PCSC and its management do not presently intend to propose other anti-takeover measures in future proxy solicitations. Further, the PCSC Board does not believe that the effects of the elimination of stockholder action by written consent will create a significant impediment to a tender offer or other effort to take control of New Freenome. Inclusion of these provisions in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation might also increase the likelihood that a potential acquirer would negotiate the terms of any proposed transaction with the board of directors and thereby help protect stockholders from the use of abusive and coercive takeover tactics.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. *Provisions Related to Status as Blank Check Company*: The PCSC Board believes that making corporate existence perpetual is desirable to reflect the Business Combination with Freenome. Additionally, perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for corporations, and the PCSC Board believes that it is the most appropriate period for PCSC following the Business Combination. The elimination of certain provisions related to PCSC's status as a blank check company is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following the Business Combination. For example, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation does not include the requirement to dissolve New Freenome and allow it to continue as a corporate entity with perpetual existence following the consummation of the Business Combination. Perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for public corporations, and the PCSC Board believes it is the most appropriate period for New Freenome following the Business Combination. In addition, certain other provisions in PCSC's current governing documents require that proceeds from PCSC's initial public offering be held in the trust account until a business combination or liquidation of PCSC has occurred. These provisions cease to apply once the Business Combination is consummated and are therefore not included in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

------

#### Vote Required for Approval
The approval of the Governing Documents Proposal requires a special resolution of the Class B Shareholders, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Class B Shares who, being present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The holders of the PCSC Class A Shares will have no right to vote on the Governing Documents Proposal, in accordance with Article 34.2 of the Existing Governing Documents. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the Governing Documents Proposal because the Governing Documents Proposal requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of votes cast and an abstention and broker non-vote is not a vote cast.

The Governing Documents Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Governing Documents Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of PCSC Class B Shares.

The outstanding PCSC Class B Shares are exclusively owned by the initial shareholders, being the Sponsor and PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal). Accordingly, the initial shareholders will be able to approve the Existing Governing Documents Proposal without the vote of any other shareholder of PCSC.

#### Resolution
The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

**"RESOLVED, as a special resolution of the Class B Shareholders, that subject to the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and conditional upon, and with effect from, the registration of PCSC as a corporation in the State of Delaware the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of PCSC currently in effect be amended and restated by the deletion in their entirety and the substitution in their place of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws (in the form attached to the proxy statement/prospectus of the meeting as Annex H and Annex I, respectively)."** 

#### Recommendation of the PCSC Board

#### THE PCSC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE CLASS B SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL.
The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of PCSC's directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders, as a whole, and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, PCSC's officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled "*—Interests of PCSC's Directors and Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination*" for a further discussion of these considerations.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### ADVISORY GOVERNING DOCUMENTS PROPOSALS

#### Overview
If the Condition Precedent Proposals, including the Governing Documents Proposal, are approved and the Business Combination is consummated, PCSC will replace the Existing Governing Documents, under the Cayman Companies Act, with the Proposed Governing Documents, under the DGCL.

PCSC's shareholders are asked to consider and vote upon and to approve as an ordinary resolution, on a non-binding and advisory basis only, six separate proposals in connection with the replacement of the Existing Governing Documents with the Proposed Governing Documents. These six proposals are being presented separately in accordance with SEC guidance to give shareholders the opportunity to present their separate views on important corporate governance provisions and will be voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis. This separate vote is not otherwise required by Cayman or Delaware law, but pursuant to SEC guidance, PCSC is required to submit these provisions to its shareholders separately for approval. The shareholder votes regarding these proposals are advisory in nature, and are not binding on PCSC, the PCSC Board, Freenome or the New Freenome Board. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals (separate and apart from the approval of the Governing Documents Proposal). Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on these proposals, PCSC intends that the Proposed Governing Documents will take effect from the registration of PCSC in the State of Delaware and its organization as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, assuming approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal.

The Proposed Governing Documents differ materially from the Existing Governing Documents. The following sets forth a summary of the principal changes proposed between the Existing Governing Documents and the Proposed Governing Documents. This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Existing Governing Documents, which are included as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, and, the complete text of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as **Annex H** and the complete text of the Proposed Bylaws, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as **Annex I**. All shareholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Governing Documents in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms. Additionally, as the Existing Governing Documents are governed by the Cayman Companies Act and the Proposed Governing Documents will be governed by the DGCL, PCSC encourages shareholders to carefully consult the information set out under the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled "*Comparison of Shareholder Rights Under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After Domestication*."

#### Advisory Governing Documents Proposal A – Authorized Shares
PCSC shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt an amendment to the Existing Governing Documents to authorize the change in the authorized capital stock of PCSC from 479,000,000 PCSC Class A Shares, 20,000,000 PCSC Class B Shares, and 1,000,000 preference shares, par value of $0.0001 per share, to 1,000,000,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, each par value $0.0001 per share.

In order to ensure that New Freenome has sufficient authorized capital for future issuances, the PCSC Board has approved, subject to shareholder approval, that the Proposed Governing Documents change the authorized capital stock of PCSC from 479,000,000 PCSC Class A Shares, 20,000,000 PCSC Class B Shares, and 1,000,000 preference shares, par value of $0.0001 per share, to 1,000,000,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, each par value $0.0001 per share.

#### Advisory Governing Documents Proposal B – Exclusive Forum Provision
PCSC shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt an amendment to the Existing Governing Documents to approve provisions in the Proposed Bylaws adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain shareholder litigation, as set out in the Proposed Bylaws.

The Proposed Bylaws provide that, unless New Freenome consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of New Freenome, (ii) any action asserting a claim of, or a claim based on, a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee or stockholder of New Freenome to New Freenome or New Freenome's stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Certificate or these Bylaws (including the interpretation, validity or enforceability thereof) or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine; provided, however, that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to any causes of action arising under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, or to any claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Unless New Freenome consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the U.S. shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

#### Advisory Governing Documents Proposal F – Other Changes in Connection with Adoption of the Proposed Governing Documents
PCSC shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt an amendment to the Existing Governing Documents to authorize (1) changing the corporate name from "Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp" to "Freenome, Inc.," (2) making New Freenome's corporate existence perpetual, and (3) removing certain provisions related to PCSC's status as a blank check company that will no longer be applicable upon consummation of the Business Combination.

The Proposed Governing Documents will not contain provisions related to a blank check company (including those related to operation of the trust account, winding up of PCSC's operations should PCSC not complete a business combination by a specified date, and other such blank check-specific provisions as are present in the Existing Governing Documents) because following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Freenome will not be a blank check company.

All PCSC shareholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Governing Documents in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms.

Implementation of each of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, will result, upon the Domestication, in the wholesale replacement of the Existing Governing Documents with the Proposed Governing Documents. While

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
certain material changes between the Existing Governing Documents and the Proposed Governing Documents have been unbundled into distinct governing documents proposals or otherwise identified in this Advisory Governing Documents Proposal, there are other differences between the Existing Governing Documents and the Proposed Governing Documents (arising from, among other things, differences between the Cayman Companies Act and the DGCL and the typical form of governing documents under each such body of law) that will be approved (subject to the approval of the aforementioned related proposals and consummation of the Business Combination) if PCSC shareholders approve the Governing Documents Proposal.

#### Reasons for the Amendments
*Advisory Governing Documents Proposal A – Authorized Shares* 

The principal purpose of this proposal is to provide for an authorized capital structure of New Freenome that will enable it to continue as an operating company governed by the DGCL. The PCSC Board believes that it is important for New Freenome to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock sufficient to support its growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs.

*Advisory Governing Documents Proposal B – Exclusive Forum Provision* 

Adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation is intended to assist New Freenome in avoiding multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions regarding the same matter. The ability to require such claims to be brought in a single forum will help to assure consistent consideration of the issues, the application of a relatively known body of case law and level of expertise and should promote efficiency and cost-savings in the resolutions of such claims. The PCSC Board believes that the Delaware courts are best suited to address disputes involving such matters given that after the Domestication, New Freenome will be incorporated in Delaware. Delaware law generally applies to such matters and the Delaware courts have a reputation for expertise in corporate law matters. Delaware offers a specialized Court of Chancery to address corporate law matters, with streamlined procedures and processes, which help provide relatively quick decisions. This accelerated schedule can minimize the time, cost and uncertainty of litigation for all parties. The Court of Chancery has developed considerable expertise with respect to corporate law issues, as well as a substantial and influential body of case law construing Delaware's corporate law and long-standing precedent regarding corporate governance. This provides stockholders and the post-combination company with more predictability regarding the outcome of intra-corporate disputes. In the event the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the other state or, if applicable, federal courts located in Delaware would be the most appropriate forums because these courts have more expertise on matters of Delaware law compared to other jurisdictions. The choice of forum provision is intended to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law to the above-specified types of actions and proceedings, including any derivative actions asserting claims under state law, and is intended to require, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of New Freenome, (ii) any action asserting a claim of, or a claim based on, a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee or stockholder of New Freenome to New Freenome or New Freenome's stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or the Proposed Bylaws (including the interpretation, validity or enforceability thereof) or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine; provided, however, that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to any causes of action arising under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, or to any claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Unless New Freenome consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the U.S. shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

In addition, this amendment would promote judicial fairness and avoid conflicting results, as well as make New Freenome's defense of applicable claims less disruptive and more economically feasible, principally by avoiding duplicative discovery.

*Advisory Governing Documents Proposal C – Adoption of Supermajority Vote Requirement to Amend the Proposed Governing Documents* 

Pursuant to the Existing Governing Documents, amendments may be made by a special resolution under the Cayman Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the PCSC Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at a general meeting (provided that Article 17.5 may only be

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
amended by a special resolution passed by holders representing at least two-thirds of the outstanding PCSC Class B Shares and any only the Class B Shareholders carry the right to vote on any special resolution required to amend the constitutional documents of PCSC or to adopt new constitutional documents of PCSC in each case as a result of PCSC approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). The Proposed Governing Documents provide that (i) the affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon is required for the stockholders to adopt, amend or repeal the Proposed Bylaws; (provided that if the New Freenome Board recommends that stockholders approve such amendment, it shall only require approval by the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote on such amendment, voting together as a single class) and (ii) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of New Freenome's then outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon and the holders of each class of stock entitled to vote thereon as a class (except where a lower threshold is provided by the DGCL) is required to adopt amendments to the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation. The amendments are intended to protect the Proposed Bylaws and the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation from arbitrary amendment and to prevent stockholders from taking actions that may be harmful to other stockholders or making changes to provisions that are intended to protect all stockholders.

*Advisory Governing Documents Proposal D – Removal of Directors* 

The Existing Governing Documents provide that before a business combination, holders of PCSC Class B Shares may appoint or remove any director by ordinary resolution, and the holders of PCSC Class A Shares and PCSC Class B Shares may remove any director by ordinary resolution. After the closing of a business combination, shareholders may by ordinary resolution remove any director. Under the DGCL, stockholders may only remove a director serving on a classified board for cause unless the certificate of incorporation otherwise provides. The Proposed Governing Documents provide that, subject to the special rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, directors may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at an election of directors. The PCSC Board believes that such a standard will (i) increase board continuity and the likelihood that experienced board members with familiarity of New Freenome's business operations will be serving on the board at any given time and (ii) make it more difficult for a potential hostile acquiror or other person, group or entity to gain control of the New Freenome Board.

*Advisory Governing Documents Proposal E – Action by Written Consent of Stockholders* 

Under the Proposed Governing Documents, New Freenome's stockholders will have the ability to propose items of business (subject to the restrictions set forth therein) at duly convened stockholder meetings. Eliminating the right of stockholders to act by written consent limits the circumstances under which stockholders can act on their own initiative to remove directors, or alter or amend New Freenome's governing documents outside of a duly called special or annual meeting of the stockholders of New Freenome. Further, the PCSC Board believes continuing to limit stockholders' ability to act by written consent will (i) reduce the time and effort the New Freenome Board and management would need to devote to stockholder proposals, which time and effort could distract New Freenome's directors and management from other important company business and (ii) facilitate transparency and fairness by allowing all stockholders to consider, discuss, and vote on pending stockholder actions.

In addition, the elimination of the stockholders' ability to act by written consent may have certain anti-takeover effects by forcing a potential acquirer to take control of the board of directors only at a duly called special or annual meeting. However, this proposal is not in response to any effort of which PCSC is aware to obtain control of New Freenome, and PCSC and its management do not presently intend to propose other anti-takeover measures in future proxy solicitations. Further, the PCSC Board does not believe that the effects of the elimination of stockholder action by written consent will create a significant impediment to a tender offer or other effort to take control of New Freenome. Inclusion of these provisions in the Proposed Governing Documents might also increase the likelihood that a potential acquirer would negotiate the terms of any proposed transaction with the board of directors and thereby help protect stockholders from the use of abusive and coercive takeover tactics.

*Advisory Governing Documents Proposal F – Other Changes in Connection with Adoption of the Proposed Governing Documents* 

The PCSC Board believes that changing New Freenome's corporate name from "Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp" to "Freenome, Inc." and making corporate existence perpetual is desirable to reflect the Business Combination with Freenome and to clearly identify New Freenome as the publicly traded entity. Additionally, perpetual existence is

------

the default under the DGCL and the usual period of existence for corporations, and the PCSC Board believes that it is the most appropriate period for PCSC following the Business Combination.

The elimination of certain provisions related to PCSC's status as a blank check company is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following the Business Combination. For example, the Proposed Governing Documents do not include the requirement to dissolve PCSC and allow it to continue as a corporate entity with perpetual existence following the consummation of the Business Combination. Perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for public corporations, and the PCSC Board believes it is the most appropriate period for New Freenome following the Business Combination. In addition, certain other provisions in the Existing Governing Documents require that proceeds from PCSC's initial public offering be held in the trust account until a business combination or liquidation of PCSC has occurred. These provisions cease to apply once the Business Combination is consummated and are therefore not included in the Proposed Governing Documents.

#### Vote Required for Approval
Approval of each Advisory Governing Documents Proposals requires an ordinary resolution, on a non-binding and advisory basis only, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal. As described above, the shareholder votes regarding these proposals are advisory in nature, and are not binding on PCSC, the PCSC Board, Freenome or the New Freenome Board.

The Advisory Governing Documents Proposals are not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal. The shareholder votes regarding these Advisory Governing Documents Proposals are advisory in nature, and are not binding on PCSC, the PCSC Board, Freenome or the New Freenome Board. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals (separate and apart from the approval of the Governing Documents Proposal). Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on these Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, PCSC intends that the Proposed Governing Documents will take effect from the registration of PCSC in the State of Delaware as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, assuming approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal.

The initial shareholders collectively own 2,442,500 ordinary shares of PCSC, or approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares as follows: (i) the Sponsor owns 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares and 286,250 private placement shares, which are PCSC Class A Shares; and (ii) the PCSC independent directors each own 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares, for an aggregate of 90,000 PCSC Class B Shares. We will need at least 1,246,667 PCSC Shares, in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders, to constitute a quorum. Accordingly, we will need 5,533,751 PCSC Shares, or 3,091,251 public shares in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders, to vote in favor of each Advisory Governing Documents Proposal to approve it if all PCSC Shares are present and cast votes. If only the minimum quorum is present, no public shares will be required to vote in favor of each Advisory Governing Documents Proposal to approve it.

#### Resolutions
The full text of the resolutions to be passed is as follows:

"**RESOLVED,** as six separate ordinary resolutions on a non-binding and advisory basis only, that the following governance provisions contained in the Proposed Governing Documents be and are hereby approved and adopted:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Proposal D — to amend the Existing Governing Documents to approve provisions permitting the removal of a director only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at an election of directors, voting together as a single class.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Proposal E — to amend the Existing Governing Documents to approve provisions requiring stockholders to take action at an annual or special meeting and prohibiting stockholder action by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Proposal F — to amend the Existing Governing Documents to authorize (1) changing the corporate name from "Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp" to "Freenome, Inc.," (2) making New Freenome's corporate existence perpetual, and (3) removing certain provisions related to PCSC's status as a blank check company that will no longer be applicable upon consummation of the Business Combination."

#### Recommendation of the PCSC Board

#### THE PCSC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT PCSC SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE EACH OF THE ADVISORY GOVERNING DOCUMENTS PROPOSALS.
The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of PCSC's directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders, as a whole, and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, PCSC's officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Interests of PCSC's Directors and Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination*" for a further discussion of these considerations.

#### NASDAQ PROPOSAL

#### Overview
**The Nasdaq Proposal—to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of the Nasdaq Stock Exchange Listing Rules (each, a "*Nasdaq Listing Rule*") 5635(a), (b) and (d), the issuance of shares of New Freenome Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination and the PIPE Financing, to the extent such issuance would require a shareholder vote under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), (b), or (d) (such proposal, the "*Nasdaq Proposal*").** 

#### Reasons for the Approval for Purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635
Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a)(1), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of common stock, or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, in connection with the acquisition of another company if such securities are not issued in a public offering for cash and (i) the common stock has, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of such securities (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock; or (ii) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities. Additionally, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control of the registrant. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), shareholder approval is required for a transaction other than a public offering, involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by an issuer of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at a price that is less than the lesser of the official Nasdaq closing price immediately before signing of the binding agreement and the average official Nasdaq closing price for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement of the stock if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or may be equal to 20% or more of the common stock, or 20% or more of the voting power, outstanding before the issuance. If the Business Combination is completed pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, PCSC currently expects to issue an estimated 120,516,765 shares of New Freenome Common Stock (assuming that none of PCSC's outstanding public shares are redeemed) in connection with the Business Combination and the PIPE Financing, in the aggregate. For further details, see "*Business Combination Proposal—Consideration to Freenome Equityholders in the Business Combination*" and "*Equity Incentive Plan Proposal*."

Additionally, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a)(2), when a Nasdaq-listed company proposes to issue securities in connection with the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company, shareholder approval is required if any director, officer or substantial shareholder of such company has a 5% or greater interest, directly or indirectly, in such company or the assets to be acquired or in the consideration to be paid in the transaction or series of related transactions and the present or potential issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) could result in an increase in outstanding shares of common stock or voting power of 5% or more. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(e)(3) defines a substantial stockholder as the holder of an interest of 5% or more of either the number of shares of common stock or the voting power outstanding of a Nasdaq-listed company. Because Sponsor currently owns greater than 5% of PCSC's ordinary shares, Sponsor and Perceptive PIPE Investor are considered substantial shareholders of PCSC under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(e)(3). In connection with the PIPE Financing, Perceptive PIPE Investor is expected to be issued 5,500,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock.

In the event that this proposal is not approved by PCSC shareholders, the Business Combination cannot be consummated. In the event that this proposal is approved by PCSC shareholders, but the Business Combination Agreement is terminated (without the Business Combination being consummated) prior to the issuance of shares of New Freenome Common Stock pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, New Freenome will not issue such shares of New Freenome Common Stock.

#### Vote Required for Approval
The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal.

The Nasdaq Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Nasdaq Proposal will have no

effect, even if approved by shareholders of PCSC. The initial shareholders collectively own 2,442,500 ordinary shares of PCSC, or approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares as follows: (i) the Sponsor owns 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares and 286,250 private placement shares, which are PCSC Class A Shares; and (ii) the PCSC independent directors each own 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares, for an aggregate of 90,000 PCSC Class B Shares. We will need at least 1,246,667 PCSC Shares, in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders, to constitute a quorum. Accordingly, we will need 5,533,751 PCSC Shares, or 3,091,251 public shares in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders, to vote in favor of the Nasdaq Proposal to approve it if all PCSC Shares are present and cast votes. If only the minimum quorum is present, no public shares will be required to vote in favor of the Nasdaq proposal to approve it.

#### Resolution
The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

"**RESOLVED**, as an ordinary resolution, that subject to the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of Nasdaq Stock Exchange Listing Rule 5635(a), (b) and (d), the issuance or potential issuance of (i) shares of New Freenome Common Stock be approved to the shareholders of PCSC in the Domestication and stockholders of Freenome in the First Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and (ii) shares of New Freenome Common Stock to the PIPE Investors in the PIPE Financing pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, and (iii) any other issuances of Freenome Common Stock and securities convertible into or exercisable for Freenome Common Stock pursuant to subscription, purchase or similar agreements PCSC has entered, or may enter, into prior to Closing, be approved in all respects."

#### EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

#### Overview
**The Equity Incentive Plan Proposal—to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt by ordinary resolution the Freenome, Inc. 2026 Equity Incentive Plan, which is referred to herein as the "*New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan*," a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex J (such proposal, the "*Equity Incentive Plan Proposal*").** 

The total number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock initially reserved for issuance under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan will be equal to the lesser of (i) 12% of the number of Fully Diluted Shares (as defined below) immediately following the Closing and (ii) 15,425,369 shares of New Freenome Common Stock. On [•], 2026, the closing price on Nasdaq per PCSC Class A Share, each of which will be converted to one share of New Freenome Common Stock, was $[•]. Based upon a price per share of $10.00, the maximum aggregate market value of the New Freenome Common Stock that could potentially be issued under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan immediately following the Closing is $[•].

The PCSC Board approved the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan on December 4, 2025, subject to approval by PCSC's shareholders. If the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan is approved by our shareholders, then it will be effective as of the day immediately prior, but subject, to the Closing (the "***Equity Incentive Plan Effective Date***").

The following is a summary of the material features of the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan, a copy of which is included as **Annex J** to this proxy statement/prospectus.

#### Summary of the Freenome, Inc. 2026 Equity Incentive Plan
The New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan allows New Freenome to make equity and equity-based incentive awards to officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The New Freenome Board anticipates that providing such persons with a direct stake in New Freenome will assure a closer alignment of the interests of such individuals with those of New Freenome and its stockholders, thereby stimulating their efforts on New Freenome's behalf and strengthening their desire to remain with New Freenome.

The New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan will be administered by the New Freenome Board, the compensation committee of the New Freenome Board or such other similar committee pursuant to the terms of the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan (the "***plan administrator***"). The plan administrator will have full power to select, from among the individuals eligible for awards, the individuals to whom awards will be granted, to make any combination of awards to participants and to determine the specific terms and conditions of each award, subject to the provisions of the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan. The plan administrator may delegate to a subcommittee consisting of one or more members of the New Freenome Board, or a committee consisting of one or more officers the authority to grant awards to employees who are not subject to the reporting and other provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and not members of the delegated subcommittee or committee, subject to certain limitations and guidelines.

The total number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock initially reserved for issuance under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan will be equal to the lesser of (i) 12% of the sum of (a) the number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock issued and outstanding, (b) the number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock underlying any outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and other equity awards exercisable for or convertible or exchangeable into shares of New Freenome Common Stock pursuant to New Freenome's equity incentive plans or similar arrangements, and (c) the number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock issuable upon (x) the exercise of any outstanding warrants or other rights to purchase shares of New Freenome Common Stock or (y) the conversion or exchange of any outstanding shares of New Freenome preferred stock or convertible debt or other securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of New Freenome Common Stock, to the extent not included in clause (b) or (c) ((a) through (c) collectively, the "***Fully Diluted Shares***") immediately following the Closing and (ii) 15,425,369 shares of New Freenome Common Stock (the "***Initial Limit***"). The New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance thereunder will automatically increase on January 1, 2027 and each January 1 thereafter by (i) 5% of the sum of (a) the number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock issued and outstanding and (b) the number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of any outstanding, pre-funded warrants to acquire New Freenome Common Stock for a nominal exercise price (the sum of (a) and (b), the "***Outstanding Shares***") on the immediately preceding December 31 or (ii) such lesser number of shares as determined by the plan administrator (the

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
"***Annual Increase***"). These limits are subject to adjustment in the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, reverse stock split or other similar change in New Freenome capitalization. The maximum aggregate number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of incentive stock options under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan shall not exceed the Initial Limit cumulatively increased on January 1, 2027 and on each January 1 thereafter by the lesser of the Annual Increase or 8,000,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock, subject, in each case, to any adjustments permitted under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan. Shares underlying any awards under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan and the Freenome Holdings, Inc. 2016 Equity Plan, as amended (the "***2016 Plan***"), that are forfeited, canceled, held back upon exercise of an option or settlement of an award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by New Freenome prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) will be added back to the shares available for issuance under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan and, to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the shares that may be issued as incentive stock options. Because awards under the 2016 Plan are to be converted into awards in respect of New Freenome under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan, from and after the Closing, it is not expected that any shares will revert to the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan from the 2016 Plan. Shares repurchased by New Freenome on the open market will not be added to the shares available for issuance under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan.

The New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan contains a limitation whereby the aggregate value of all awards under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan and all other cash compensation paid by New Freenome to any non-employee director for in any calendar year services as a non-employee director may not exceed $600,000; provided, however, that such amount will be $1,000,000 for the first calendar year a non-employee director is initially appointed to the New Freenome Board.

Persons eligible to participate in the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan will be those full-or part-time officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants of New Freenome as selected from time to time by the plan administrator in its discretion. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, approximately [•] individuals will be eligible to participate in the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan, which includes approximately [•] officers, [•] employees who are not officers, [•] non-employee directors, and [•] consultants.

The New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan permits the granting of both options to purchase New Freenome Common Stock that qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code and options that do not so qualify. Options granted under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan will be non-qualified options if they fail to qualify as incentive stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of New Freenome, its "parent corporation" within the meaning of Section 424(e) of the Code or its "subsidiary corporation" within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. Non-qualified options may be granted to any persons eligible for awards under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan. The option exercise price of each option will be determined by the plan administrator but generally may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of New Freenome Common Stock on the date of grant or, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% stockholder, 110% of the fair market value of a share of New Freenome Common Stock on the date of grant. The term of each option will be fixed by the plan administrator and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. The plan administrator will determine at what time or times each option may be exercised.

Upon exercise of options, the option exercise price must be paid in full either in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the plan administrator or by delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of New Freenome Common Stock that are beneficially owned by the optionee free of restrictions or were purchased in the open market. Subject to applicable law, the exercise price may also be delivered by a broker pursuant to irrevocable instructions to the broker from the optionee. In addition, the plan administrator may permit non-qualified options to be exercised using a "net exercise" arrangement that reduces the number of shares issued to the optionee by the largest whole number of shares with fair market value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price.

The plan administrator may award stock appreciation rights subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. Stock appreciation rights entitle the recipient to receive shares of New Freenome Common Stock, or cash, equal to the value of the appreciation in the stock price over the exercise price. The exercise price generally may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of New Freenome Common Stock on the date of grant. The term of each stock appreciation right will be fixed by the plan administrator and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. The plan administrator will determine at what time or times each stock appreciation right may be exercised.

------

The plan administrator may award restricted shares of New Freenome Common Stock and restricted stock units to participants subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. The plan administrator may also grant shares of New Freenome Common Stock that are free from any restrictions under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan. Unrestricted stock may be granted to participants in recognition of past services or for other valid consideration and may be issued in lieu of cash compensation due to such participant. The plan administrator may grant dividend equivalent rights to participants that entitle the recipient to receive credits based on cash dividends that would have been paid on specified shares of New Freenome Common Stock if such shares had been issued to the recipient.

The plan administrator may grant cash-based awards under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan to participants.

The New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan requires the plan administrator to make appropriate adjustments to the number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock that are subject to the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan, to certain limits in the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan and to any outstanding awards to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, extraordinary cash dividends and similar events.

The New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan provides that upon the effectiveness of a "sale event," as defined in the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan, an acquirer or successor entity may assume, continue or substitute outstanding awards under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan. To the extent that awards granted under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan are not assumed or continued or substituted by the successor entity, all awards granted under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan shall terminate. In such case, except as may be otherwise provided in the relevant award agreement, all awards with time-based vesting, conditions or restrictions shall become fully vested and exercisable or nonforfeitable as of the effective time of the sale event, and all awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals may become vested and exercisable or nonforfeitable in connection with a sale event in the plan administrator's discretion or to the extent specified in the relevant award agreement. In addition, participants holding options and stock appreciation rights may either (i) receive payment, in cash or in kind, equal to the difference between the per share consideration in the sale event and the exercise price of the options or stock appreciation rights (provided that, in the case of an option or stock appreciation right with an exercise price equal to or greater than the per share consideration in the sale event, such option or stock appreciation right will be cancelled for no consideration) or (ii) be permitted, within a specified period of time, to exercise such participant's outstanding options or stock appreciation rights to the extent then exercisable. We also have the option to make or provide for a payment, in cash or in kind, to participants holding other awards in an amount equal to the per share consideration in the sale event multiplied by the number of vested shares underlying such awards.

Participants in the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan are responsible for the payment of any federal, state or local taxes that New Freenome is required by law to withhold with respect to awards granted under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan. The plan administrator may cause any tax withholding obligation of New Freenome to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by New Freenome withholding from shares of New Freenome Common Stock to be issued pursuant to an award a number of shares with an aggregate fair market value that would satisfy the withholding amount due. The plan administrator may also require any tax withholding obligation of New Freenome to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by an arrangement whereby a certain number of shares issued pursuant to any award are immediately sold and proceeds from such sale are remitted to New Freenome in an amount that would satisfy the withholding amount due.

The New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan generally does not allow for the transfer or assignment of awards, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order; however, the plan administrator may permit the transfer of non-qualified options by gift to an immediate family member, to trusts for the benefit of family members or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners.

Awards under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan are subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with (i) any right New Freenome may have under any clawback, forfeiture or recoupment policy, as in effect from time to time, or other agreement or arrangement or (ii) applicable law.

The New Freenome Board may amend or discontinue the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan and the plan administrator may amend or cancel outstanding awards for purposes of satisfying changes in law or any other lawful purpose, but no such action may materially and adversely affect rights under an award without the holder's consent. Certain amendments to the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan require the approval of New Freenome's stockholders. The plan administrator is specifically authorized to exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights or effect the repricing of such awards through cancellation and re-grants or cancellation in exchange for cash or other awards without stockholder consent.

------

No awards may be granted under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan after the date that is ten years from the Equity Incentive Plan Effective Date. Awards of incentive stock options may not be granted under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan after December 4, 2035. No awards under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan have been made prior to the date hereof.

#### Form S-8
Following the consummation of the Mergers, when permitted by SEC rules, we intend to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 covering New Freenome Common Stock issuable under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan.

#### Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences of certain transactions under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan. It does not describe all federal tax consequences under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan, nor does it describe state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences.

*Incentive Stock Options. No taxable income is generally realized by the optionee upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. If shares of New Freenome Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option are sold or transferred after two years from the date of grant and after one year from the date of exercise, then generally (i) upon sale of such shares, any amount realized in excess of the option exercise price (the amount paid for the shares) will be taxed to the optionee as a long-term capital gain, and any loss sustained will be a long-term capital loss, and (ii) New Freenome will not be entitled to any deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided that such incentive stock option otherwise meets all of the technical requirements of an incentive stock option. The exercise of an incentive stock option will give rise to an item of tax preference that may result in alternative minimum tax liability for the optionee.* 

If shares of New Freenome Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option are disposed of prior to the expiration of the two-year and one-year holding periods described above (a "***disqualifying disposition***"), generally (i) the optionee will realize ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of the shares of New Freenome Common Stock at exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on a sale of such shares of New Freenome Common Stock) over the option exercise price thereof, and (ii) New Freenome will be entitled to deduct such amount. Special rules will apply where all or a portion of the exercise price of the incentive stock option is paid by tendering shares of New Freenome Common Stock.

If an incentive stock option is exercised at a time when it no longer qualifies for the tax treatment described above, the option is treated as a non-qualified stock option. Generally, an incentive stock option will not be eligible for the tax treatment described above if it is exercised more than three months following termination of employment (or one year in the case of termination of employment by reason of disability). In the case of termination of employment by reason of death, the three-month rule does not apply.

*Non-Qualified Options. No income is generally realized by the optionee at the time a non-qualified stock option is granted. Generally (i) at exercise, ordinary income is realized by the optionee in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares of New Freenome Common Stock on the date of exercise, and New Freenome receives a tax deduction for the same amount, and (ii) at disposition, appreciation or depreciation after the date of exercise is treated as either short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending on how long the shares of New Freenome Common Stock have been held. Special rules will apply where all or a portion of the exercise price of the non-qualified stock option is paid by tendering shares of New Freenome Common Stock. Upon exercise, the optionee will also be subject to Social Security taxes on the excess of the fair market value over the exercise price of the option.* 

*Other Awards. For all other awards under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan, New Freenome generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income realized by the participant at the time the participant recognizes such income. Participants typically are subject to income and Social Security taxes and recognize such taxes at the time that an award is exercised, vests or becomes nonforfeitable or is settled, unless the award provides for deferred settlement.* 

*Parachute Payments. The vesting of any portion of an award that is accelerated due to the occurrence of a change in control (such as a sale event) may cause all or a portion of the payments with respect to such accelerated awards to be treated as "parachute payments" as defined in the Code. Any such parachute payments may be non-deductible to New Freenome, in whole or in part, and may subject the recipient to a non-deductible 20% U.S. federal excise tax on all or a portion of such payment (in addition to other taxes ordinarily payable).*

#### New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan Benefits
No awards have been previously granted under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan and no awards have been granted that are contingent on shareholder approval of the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan. The awards that are to be granted to any participant or group of participants under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan are indeterminable at the date of this proxy statement/prospectus because participation and the types of awards that may be granted under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan are subject to the discretion of the plan administrator. Consequently, no new plan benefits table is included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

#### Interests of Certain Persons in this Proposal
All members of the New Freenome Board and all executive officers of New Freenome will be eligible to receive awards made under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan and, thus, have a personal interest in the approval of the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan.

#### Form S-8
Following the consummation of the Mergers, when permitted by SEC rules, we intend to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 covering New Freenome Common Stock issuable under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan.

#### Vote Required for Approval
Approval of the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal.

The Equity Incentive Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by shareholders of PCSC. The initial shareholders collectively own 2,442,500 ordinary shares of PCSC, or approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares as follows: (i) the Sponsor owns 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares and 286,250 private placement shares, which are PCSC Class A Shares; and (ii) the PCSC independent directors each own 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares, for an aggregate of 90,000 PCSC Class B Shares. We will need at least 1,246,667 PCSC Shares, in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders, to constitute a quorum. Accordingly, we will need 5,533,751 PCSC Shares, or 3,091,251 public shares in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders, to vote in favor of the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal to approve it if all PCSC Shares are present and cast votes. If only the minimum quorum is present, no public shares will be required to vote in favor of the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal to approve it.

#### Resolution
The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

"**RESOLVED**, as an ordinary resolution, that subject to the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Freenome, Inc. 2026 Equity Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as **Annex J**, be adopted and approved."

#### Recommendation of the PCSC Board

#### THE PCSC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT PCSC SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL.
The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of PCSC's directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders, as a whole, and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, PCSC's officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Interests of PCSC's Directors and Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination*" for a further discussion of these considerations.

#### EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN PROPOSAL

#### Overview
**The Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal—to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt by ordinary resolution the Freenome, Inc. 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which is referred to herein as the "*New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan*," a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex K (such proposal, the "*Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal*").** 

The total number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock initially reserved for issuance under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be equal to the lesser of (i) 2% of the number of Fully Diluted Shares immediately following the Closing and (ii) 2,570,895 shares of New Freenome Common Stock. On [•], 2026, the closing price on Nasdaq per PCSC Class A Share, each of which will be converted to one share of New Freenome Common Stock, was $[•]. Based upon a price per share of $10.00, the maximum aggregate market value of the New Freenome Common Stock that could potentially be issued under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan immediately following the Closing is $[•].

The PCSC Board approved the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan on December 4, 2025, subject to approval by PCSC's shareholders. If the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan is approved by our shareholders, then the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be effective as of the day immediately prior, and subject, to the Closing.

The following is a summary of the material features of the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan, a copy of which is included as **Annex K** to this proxy statement/prospectus.

#### Summary of the Material Provisions of the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan has two components: a component intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code (the "***423 Component***"), and a component that is not intended to so qualify, (the "***Non-423 Component***"). Except as otherwise provided, the Non-423 Component will be operated and administered in the same manner as the 423 Component, except where prohibited by law.

The total number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock initially reserved for issuance under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be equal to the lesser of (i) 2% of the number of Fully Diluted Shares immediately following the Closing and (ii) 2,570,895 shares of New Freenome Common Stock. The New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance thereunder will automatically increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2027 and ending on January 1, 2036, by the least of (i) 1% of our Outstanding Shares on the immediately preceding December 31, (ii) 1,500,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock and (iii) such number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock as determined by the administrator of the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan. If our capital structure changes because of a stock dividend, stock split or similar event, the number of shares that can be issued under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be appropriately adjusted.

The New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be administered by the person or persons appointed by the New Freenome Board and the administrator of the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan will have full authority to make, administer and interpret such rules and regulations regarding the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan as it deems advisable.

All individuals classified as employees on the payroll records of New Freenome or a "designated company," as defined in the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan, will be eligible to participate in the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan, provided that the administrator may determine, in advance of any offering, that such employees are eligible only if, as of the first day of the applicable offering (the "***Offering Date***"), (a) they are customarily employed by New Freenome or a designated company for more than (i) 20 hours a week or (ii) five months per calendar year, (b) they have completed a minimum period of service prior to the Offering Date (provided such service requirement does not exceed two years of employment), and/or (c) they are not highly compensated employees (within the meaning of Section 414(q) of the Code). No person who owns or holds, or as a result of participation in the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan would own or hold, New Freenome Common Stock or options to purchase New Freenome Common Stock, that together equal 5% or more of total combined voting power or value of all

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
classes of stock of New Freenome or any parent or subsidiary is entitled to participate in the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan. No employee may exercise an option granted under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan that permits the employee to purchase New Freenome Common Stock having a value of more than $25,000 (determined using the fair market value of the stock at the time such option is granted) in any calendar year.

Participation in the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan is limited to eligible employees who authorize payroll deductions or contributions equal to a whole percentage (unless the administrator determines in advance of an offering to require that a fixed amount be specified in lieu of a percentage) of base pay to the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Employees may authorize payroll deductions or contributions, with a minimum of 1% of base pay and a maximum of 15% of base pay or such other minimum or maximum as may be specified by the administrator in advance of an offering. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are currently approximately [•] employees who will be eligible to participate in the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Once an employee becomes a participant in the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan, that employee will automatically participate in successive offering periods, as described below, until such time as that employee withdraws from the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan, becomes ineligible to participate in the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan or his or her employment ceases.

We may make one or more offerings, consisting of one or more purchase periods, to our employees to purchase shares under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which is referred to as an "***offering period***." Each offering period will begin and end on the dates determined by the administrator; provided that, no offering period shall exceed 27 months in duration. Shares are purchased on the last business day of each purchase period or if such purchase period is the last purchase period of the offering period, the last business day of such offering period, with that day being referred to as an "***exercise date***."

On the Offering Date, New Freenome will grant to employees participating in that offering period an option to purchase shares of New Freenome Common Stock. On the exercise date of each purchase period, the employee is deemed to have exercised the option, at the exercise price, for the lowest of (i) the number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock determined by dividing such employee's accumulated payroll deductions or contributions on such exercise date by the exercise price; (ii) the number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock determined by dividing $25,000 by the fair market value of the common stock on the applicable offering date for such offering; or (iii) such other number of shares as established by the plan administrator in advance of the offering. The exercise price is equal to the lesser of (i) 85% the fair market value per share of New Freenome Common Stock on the first day of the offering period or (ii) 85% of the fair market value per share of New Freenome Common Stock on the exercise date. No participant may be granted an option that permits such participant rights to purchase New Freenome Common Stock under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and any other employee stock purchase plan of New Freenome and its parents and subsidiaries, to accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of New Freenome Common Stock (determined on the option grant date) for each calendar year in which the option is outstanding at any time.

In general, if an employee is no longer a participant on an exercise date, the employee's option will be automatically terminated, and the amount of the employee's accumulated payroll deductions or contributions will be refunded.

To the extent an offering period has more than one purchase period and to the extent permitted by applicable law, if the fair market value of New Freenome Common Stock on any exercise date in an offering period is lower than the fair market value of New Freenome Common Stock on the first day of such offering, then all participants in such offering will be automatically withdrawn from such offering immediately after the exercise of their option on such exercise date and will be automatically re-enrolled in the immediately following offering as of the first day thereof.

Except as may be permitted by the plan administrator in advance of an offering, a participant may not increase or decrease the amount of such participant's payroll deductions or contributions during any offering period; provided, however, that a participant may increase or decrease such participant's payroll deduction or contributions with respect to the next offering period by filing a new enrollment form within the period established by the administrator. A participant may withdraw from an offering period at any time without affecting such participant's eligibility to participate in future offering periods. If a participant withdraws from an offering period, that participant may not again participate in the same offering period, but may enroll in subsequent offering periods. A participant's withdrawal will be effective as soon as practicable following the date that the plan administrator receives the participant's written notice of withdrawal under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

------

In the case of and subject to the consummation of a "sale event," as defined in the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan the plan administrator, in its discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, is authorized to take any one or more of the following actions under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan or with respect to any right under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan or to facilitate such transactions or events: (a) to provide for either (i) termination of any outstanding option in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been obtained upon the exercise of such option had such option been currently exercisable or (ii) the replacement of such outstanding option with other options or property selected by the plan administrator in its sole discretion; (b) to provide that the outstanding options under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for similar options covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (c) to make adjustments in the number and type of shares of New Freenome Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding options under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan and/or in the terms and conditions of outstanding options and options that may be granted in the future; (d) to provide that the offering with respect to which an option relates will be shortened by setting a new exercise date on which such offering will end; and (e) to provide that all outstanding options shall terminate without being exercised and all amounts in the accounts of participants shall be promptly refunded.

The New Freenome Board may terminate or amend the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan. An amendment that increases the number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock authorized under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan and certain other amendments require the approval of New Freenome stockholders.

#### New Plan Benefits
Since participation in the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan is voluntary, the benefits or amounts that will be received by or allocated to any individual or group of individuals under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan in the future are not determinable and no awards have been granted that are contingent on shareholder approval of the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

#### Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences of certain transactions under the Section 423 Component of the New Freenome Employee Stock Plan. It does not describe all U.S. federal tax consequences under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan, nor does it describe state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences.

A participant in the Section 423 Component of the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan recognizes no taxable income either as a result of participation in the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan or upon exercise of an option to purchase shares of New Freenome Common Stock under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

If a participant disposes of shares of New Freenome Common Stock purchased upon exercise of an option granted under the Section 423 Component of the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan within two years from the first day of the applicable offering period or within one year from the exercise date, which is referred to as a "disqualifying disposition," the participant will realize ordinary income in the year of that disposition equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the shares of Freenome Common Stock on the date the shares were purchased exceeds the purchase price. The amount of ordinary income will be added to the participant's basis in the shares, and any additional gain or resulting loss recognized on the disposition of the shares will be a capital gain or loss. A capital gain or loss will be long-term if the participant's holding period is more than 12 months, or short-term if the participant's holding period is 12 months or less.

If the participant disposes of shares purchased upon exercise of an option granted under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan at least two years after the first day of the applicable offering period and at least one year after the exercise date, the participant will realize ordinary income in the year of disposition equal to the lesser of (1) 15% of the fair market value of the Freenome Common Stock on the first day of the offering period in which the shares were purchased and (2) the excess of the amount actually received for the Freenome Common Stock over the amount paid. The amount of any ordinary income will be added to the participant's basis in the shares, and any additional gain recognized upon the disposition after that basis adjustment will be a long-term capital gain. If the fair market value of the shares on the date of disposition is less than the exercise price, there will be no ordinary income and any loss recognized will be a long-term capital loss.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
New Freenome is generally entitled to a tax deduction in the year of a disqualifying disposition equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant as a result of that disposition. In all other cases, New Freenome is not allowed a deduction.

#### Interests of Certain Persons in this Proposal
All executive officers of New Freenome will be eligible to receive awards made under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan and, thus, have a personal interest in the approval of the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

#### Vote Required for Approval
Approval of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal.

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by shareholders of PCSC. The initial shareholders collectively own 2,442,500 ordinary shares of PCSC, or approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares as follows: (i) the Sponsor owns 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares and 286,250 private placement shares, which are PCSC Class A Shares; and (ii) the PCSC independent directors each own 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares, for an aggregate of 90,000 PCSC Class B Shares. We will need at least 1,246,667 PCSC Shares, in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders, to constitute a quorum. Accordingly, we will need 5,533,751 PCSC Shares, or 3,091,251 public shares in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders, to vote in favor of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal to approve it if all PCSC Shares are present and cast votes. If only the minimum quorum is present, no public shares will be required to vote in favor of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal to approve it.

#### Resolution
The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

"**RESOLVED**, as an ordinary resolution, that subject to the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Freenome, Inc. 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, a copy of which is attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as **Annex K**, be adopted and approved."

#### Recommendation of the PCSC Board

#### THE PCSC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT PCSC SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN PROPOSAL.
The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of PCSC's directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders, as a whole, and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, PCSC's officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Interests of PCSC's Directors and Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination*" for a further discussion of these considerations.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL
The Adjournment Proposal allows the PCSC Board to submit a proposal to approve, by ordinary resolution, the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates (i) to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus is provided to PCSC shareholders, (ii) in order to solicit additional proxies from PCSC shareholders in favor of one or more of the proposals at the extraordinary general meeting or (iii) if PCSC shareholders redeem an amount of public shares such that the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition would not be satisfied. See "*Business Combination Proposal—Interests of PCSC's Directors and Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination*."

#### Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved
If the Adjournment Proposal is presented to the extraordinary general meeting and is not approved by the shareholders, the chairman of the PCSC Board may not be able to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date in the event that, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the extraordinary general meeting to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals. In such events, the Business Combination would not be completed.

#### Vote Required for Approval
The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal.

The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on any other proposal.

The initial shareholders collectively own 2,442,500 ordinary shares of PCSC, or approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares as follows: (i) the Sponsor owns 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares and 286,250 private placement shares, which are PCSC Class A Shares; and (ii) the PCSC independent directors each own 30,000 PCSC Class B Shares, for an aggregate of 90,000 PCSC Class B Shares. We will need at least 1,246,667 PCSC Shares, in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders, to constitute a quorum. Accordingly, we will need 5,533,751 PCSC Shares, or 3,091,251 public shares in addition to the PCSC Shares held by the initial shareholders, to vote in favor of the Adjournment Proposal to approve it if all PCSC Shares are present and cast votes. If only the minimum quorum is present, no public shares will be required to vote in favor of the Adjournment Proposal to approve it.

#### Resolution
The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

"**RESOLVED**, as an ordinary resolution, that the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates (A) to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus is provided to PCSC shareholders, (B) in order to solicit additional proxies from PCSC shareholders in favor of one or more of the proposals at the extraordinary general meeting or (C) if PCSC shareholders redeem an amount of public shares such that the condition to consummation of the Business Combination that the aggregate cash proceeds to be received by PCSC from the trust account in connection with the Business Combination, together with aggregate gross proceeds from the PIPE Financing, equal no less than $250,000,000 after deducting PCSC's unpaid expenses, liabilities, and any amounts paid to PCSC shareholders that exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination would not be satisfied, at the extraordinary general meeting be approved."

#### Recommendation of the PCSC Board

#### THE PCSC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT PCSC SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.
The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of PCSC's directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders, as a whole, and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, PCSC's officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Interests of PCSC's Directors and Officers, Sponsor and Others in the Business Combination*" for a further discussion of these considerations.

#### MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a discussion of the (i) material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication and PCSC Shareholder Redemptions to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of Public Shares, (ii) material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers to U.S. Holders of Freenome Common Stock and (iii) material U.S. federal income tax consequences for Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of owning and disposing of New Freenome Common Stock after the Domestication. This discussion is based on provisions of the Code, its legislative history, final, temporary and proposed U.S. treasury regulations promulgated thereunder ("**Treasury Regulations**"), published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These authorities are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis, which may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein.

For purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of Public Shares, shares of Freenome Common Stock, or shares of New Freenome Common Stock that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an individual citizen or resident of the U.S.;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a trust if (i) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

A "Non-U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of Public Shares, shares of Freenome Common Stock, or shares of New Freenome Common Stock that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is an individual, corporation, estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder.

This discussion is general in nature and does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to any particular holder based on such holder's individual circumstances or status. In particular, this discussion considers only holders that hold Public Shares, shares of Freenome Common Stock, or New Freenome Common Stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). In addition, this discussion does not address the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code, the Medicare tax on net investment income, or the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders that are subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law, such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• financial institutions or financial services entities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• broker-dealers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules under Section 475 of the Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• tax-exempt entities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• insurance companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulated investment companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• real estate investment trusts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S.;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons that acquired Public Shares, shares of Freenome Common Stock, or shares of New Freenome Common Stock pursuant to an exercise of employee options, in connection with employee incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons that hold Public Shares, shares of Freenome Common Stock, or shares of New Freenome Common Stock as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, redemption or other integrated transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• controlled foreign corporations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• passive foreign investment companies;

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to Public Shares, shares of Freenome Common Stock, or New Freenome Common Stock as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons who actually or constructively own 5% or more of the shares of PCSC or New Freenome by vote or value (except as specifically provided below);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• foreign corporations with respect to which there are one or more United States shareholders within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-3(b)(1)(ii); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Sponsor or its affiliates.

This discussion does not address any tax laws other than the U.S. federal income tax law, such as gift or estate tax laws, state, local or non-U.S. tax laws or, except as discussed herein, any tax reporting obligations of a holder of Public Shares, shares of Freenome Common Stock, or shares of New Freenome Common Stock. Additionally, this discussion does not address the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold Public Shares, shares of Freenome Common Stock, or shares of New Freenome Common Stock through such entities. If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of Public Shares, shares of Freenome Common Stock, or shares of New Freenome Common Stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partner and such partnership. Holders of Public Shares, shares of Freenome Common Stock, or shares of New Freenome Common Stock are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences to such holders. This discussion also assumes that any distribution made (or deemed made) on Public Shares, shares of Freenome Common Stock, or shares of New Freenome Common Stock and any consideration received (or deemed received) by a holder in consideration for the sale or other disposition of Public Shares or shares of New Freenome Common Stock will be in U.S. dollars. We have not sought, and do not intend to seek, a ruling from the United States Internal Revenue Service (the "**IRS**") as to any U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein. There can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with the discussion herein, or that a court would not sustain any challenge by the IRS in the event of litigation. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.

**THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY, AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE, AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS, LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE TO ANY PARTICULAR HOLDER. THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF PUBLIC SHARES, SHARES OF FREENOME COMMON STOCK, AND SHARES OF NEW FREENOME COMMON STOCK MAY BE AFFECTED BY MATTERS NOT DISCUSSED HEREIN AND DEPENDS IN SOME INSTANCES ON DETERMINATIONS OF FACT AND INTERPRETATIONS OF COMPLEX PROVISIONS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW FOR WHICH NO CLEAR PRECEDENT OR AUTHORITY MAY BE AVAILABLE. WE URGE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF PUBLIC SHARES, SHARES OF FREENOME COMMON STOCK, AND SHARES OF NEW FREENOME COMMON STOCK TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF THE MERGERS, THE DOMESTICATION, EXERCISING REDEMPTION RIGHTS, AND OWNING AND DISPOSING OF SHARES OF NEW FREENOME COMMON STOCK AS A RESULT OF ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES THEREOF.** 

#### U.S. Holders

#### Tax Consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders of Public Shares
Pursuant to the Domestication, we will change our jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication will depend primarily upon whether the domestication qualifies as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. Under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a reorganization is a "mere change in identity, form, or place of organization of one corporation, however effected."

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
The Domestication is intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code and, subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein and in the opinion included as Exhibit 8.1, it is the opinion of Cooley LLP that the Domestication should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

In the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, except as otherwise provided herein, including with respect to the PFIC rules and Section 367 of the Code (as discussed below), a U.S. Holder of Public Shares should not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of its Public Shares solely for New Freenome Common Stock pursuant to the Domestication. The Domestication should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if PCSC (i) transferred all of its assets and liabilities to New Freenome in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of New Freenome; and then (ii) distributed the shares of New Freenome to the shareholders of PCSC in liquidation of PCSC. The taxable year of PCSC should be deemed to end on the date of the Domestication.

In the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, (i) a U.S. Holder's tax basis in shares of New Freenome Common Stock received in connection with the Domestication generally should be the same as its tax basis in the Public Shares surrendered in exchange therefor, increased by any amount included in the income of such U.S. Holder under the PFIC rules or Section 367(b) of the Code (as discussed below) and (ii) the holding period for shares of New Freenome Common Stock received by a U.S. Holder generally should include such U.S. Holder's holding period for the Public Shares surrendered in exchange therefor.

If the Domestication fails to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368, a U.S. Holder of Public Shares generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to its Public Shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the corresponding shares of New Freenome Common Stock received in the Domestication and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its Public Shares surrendered. The U.S. Holder's basis in the shares of New Freenome Common Stock would be equal to the fair market value of that stock on the date of the Domestication and such U.S. Holder's holding period for the shares of New Freenome Common Stock would begin on the day following the date of the Domestication. U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of Public Shares (generally, shares of PCSC purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them, and the discussion above does not specifically address all of the consequences to U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of Public Shares.

Because the Domestication will occur after the PCSC Shareholder Redemptions, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights should not be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication. All U.S. Holders considering exercising redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the potential tax consequences to them of exercise of redemption rights. "—*Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights*" below.

*PFIC Considerations*

Even in the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, the Domestication may still be a taxable event to U.S. Holders of Public Shares under the passive foreign investment company ("**PFIC**") provisions of the Code, to the extent that Section 1291(f) of the Code applies, as described below. Because PCSC is a blank check company with no current active operating business, based upon the composition of its income and assets, and upon a review of its financial statements, PCSC believes that it may be a PFIC.

*Effect of PFIC Rules on the Domestication*

Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations, a U.S. person that disposes of stock of a PFIC must recognize gain, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final Treasury Regulations are in effect under Section 1291(f) of the Code. Proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code were promulgated in 1992, with a retroactive effective date once they become finalized. If finalized in their present form, these Treasury Regulations may require taxable gain recognition by a Non-Electing Shareholder, as defined below, with respect to its exchange of Public Shares for shares of New Freenome Common Stock in the Domestication if PCSC were classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. Holder's holding period in respect thereof. Any such gain generally would be treated as an "excess distribution" made in the year of the Domestication and subject to the special tax and interest charge rules discussed below under "*Definition and General Taxation of a PFIC*."

------

The proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code should not apply to an Electing Shareholder, as defined below, with respect to its Public Shares for which a timely qualified election fund ("**QEF**") election, a QEF election with a purging election, or MTM election is made, as each such election is described below. It is not possible to determine at this time whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted.

*Definition and General Taxation of a PFIC*

A non-U.S. corporation will be a PFIC if either (a) at least seventy-five percent (75%) of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it owns or is considered to own at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares by value, is passive income or (b) at least fifty percent (50%) of its assets in a taxable year, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year, including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it owns or is considered to own at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than certain rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets. The determination of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is made annually.

If PCSC is determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of Public Shares and the U.S. Holder did not make either (a) a timely QEF election for PCSC's first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Public Shares, (b) a QEF election along with a "purging election," or (c) a mark-to-market ("**MTM**") election, all of which are discussed further below, such U.S. Holder generally will be subject to special rules with respect to any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its Public Shares and any "excess distribution" made to the U.S. Holder. Excess distributions are generally any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the Public Shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder's holding period for the Public Shares.

Under these rules, the U.S. Holder's gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder's holding period for the Public Shares. The amount of gain allocated to the U.S. Holder's taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder's holding period before the first day of PCSC's first taxable year in which it qualified as a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income. The amount of gain allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder. The interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder. Any "all earnings and profits amount" included in income by a U.S. Holder as a result of the Domestication (discussed under "—*Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of Public Shares*") generally would be treated as gain subject to these rules.

In general, if PCSC is determined to be a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may avoid the tax consequences described above with respect to its Public Shares by making a timely QEF election (or a QEF election along with a purging election), or a MTM election, all as described below.

*Impact of PFIC Rules on Certain U.S. Holders*

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of Public Shares will depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a timely and effective election to treat PCSC as a QEF under Section 1295 of the Code, for PCSC's first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Public Shares, the U.S. Holder made a QEF election along with a "purging election," or if the U.S. Holder made a MTM election, all as discussed below. A U.S. Holder of a PFIC that made either a timely and effective QEF election, a QEF election along with a purging election, or a MTM election is hereinafter referred to as an "**Electing Shareholder**." A U.S. Holder of a PFIC that is not an Electing Shareholder is hereinafter referred to as a "**Non-Electing Shareholder**."

The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder generally makes a QEF election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 (Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund), including the information provided in a "PFIC Annual Information Statement," to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the tax year to

------

which the election relates. Retroactive QEF elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement with such return and if certain other conditions are met or with the consent of the IRS. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a retroactive QEF election under their particular circumstances.

A U.S. Holder's ability to make a QEF election with respect to its Public Shares is contingent upon, among other things, the provision by PCSC of certain information that would enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF election. Upon written request, PCSC will endeavor to provide to a U.S. Holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC Annual Information Statement, in order to enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF election, but there can be no assurance that PCSC will timely provide such information that is required to make and maintain the QEF election. An Electing Shareholder making a valid and timely QEF election generally would not be subject to the adverse PFIC rules discussed above with respect to their Public Shares. As a result, such a U.S. Holder generally should not recognize gain or loss as a result of the Domestication except to the extent described under "— *Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of Public Shares*" and subject to the discussion above under "—*Tax Consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders of Public Shares*," but rather would include annually in gross income its pro rata share of the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of PCSC, whether or not such amounts are actually distributed.

As indicated above, if a U.S. Holder of Public Shares has not made a timely and effective QEF election with respect to PCSC's first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Public Shares, such U.S. Holder generally may nonetheless qualify as an Electing Shareholder by filing on a timely filed U.S. income tax return (including extensions) a QEF election and a purging election to recognize under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code any gain that it would otherwise recognize if the U.S. Holder sold its Public Shares for their fair market value on the "qualification date." The qualification date is the first day of PCSC's tax year in which PCSC qualifies as a QEF with respect to such U.S. Holder. The purging election can only be made if such U.S. Holder held Public Shares on the qualification date. The gain recognized by the purging election will be subject to the special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above. As a result of the purging election, the U.S. Holder will increase the adjusted tax basis in its Public Shares by the amount of the gain recognized and will also have a new holding period in the Public Shares for purposes of the PFIC rules.

Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable shares, the U.S. Holder may make a MTM election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. If the U.S. Holder makes a valid MTM election for the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) Public Shares and for which PCSC is determined to be a PFIC, such holder will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above in respect to its Public Shares. Instead, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its Public Shares at the end of its taxable year over the adjusted basis in its Public Shares. The U.S. Holder also will be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its Public Shares over the fair market value of its Public Shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the MTM election). The U.S. Holder's basis in its Public Shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of the Public Shares will be treated as ordinary income. Shareholders who hold different blocks of Public Shares (generally, shares of PCSC purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them. The MTM election is available only for shares that are regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, including Nasdaq, or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. No assurance can be given that the Public Shares are considered to be regularly traded for purposes of the MTM election or whether the other requirements of this election are satisfied. If such an election is available and has been made, such U.S. Holders generally will not be subject to the special taxation rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed herein with respect to their Public Shares. However, if the MTM election is made by a Non-Electing Shareholder after the beginning of the holding period for the PFIC stock, then the Section 1291 rules will apply to certain dispositions of, distributions on and other amounts taxable with respect to Public Shares. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the availability and tax consequences of a MTM election in respect to Public Shares under their particular circumstances.

------

**The rules dealing with PFICs and with the timely QEF election, the QEF election with a purging election, and the MTM election are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder of Public Shares is urged to consult its tax advisor concerning the application of the PFIC rules to such securities under such holder's particular circumstances.**

*Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of Public Shares*

In addition to the PFIC rules discussed above, Section 367 of the Code applies to certain non-recognition transactions involving foreign corporations, including a domestication of a foreign corporation in a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code. Section 367 of the Code imposes U.S. federal income tax on certain United States persons in connection with transactions that would otherwise be tax-free. Section 367(b) of the Code will generally apply to U.S. Holders of Public Shares on the date of the Domestication. Because the Domestication will occur after U.S. Holders exercise redemption rights with respect to Public Shares, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights should not be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367(b) of the Code as a result of the Domestication.

*U.S. Holders Who Own 10 Percent or More of the Voting Power or Value of PCSC*

A U.S. Holder who beneficially owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of ordinary shares entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of ordinary shares (a "**10% U.S. Shareholder**") of PCSC must include in income as a dividend the "all earnings and profits amount" (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to the Public Shares it directly owns within the meaning of Treasury Regulations under Section 367(b) of the Code. Complex attribution rules apply in determining whether a U.S. Holder owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of ordinary shares entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of ordinary shares and all U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to these attribution rules.

A 10% U.S. Shareholder's "all earnings and profits amount" with respect to its Public Shares is the net positive earnings and profits of PCSC attributable to its shares (as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2) but without regard to any gain that would be realized on a sale or exchange of such shares. Treasury Regulations under Section 367 provide that the "all earnings and profits amount" attributable to a shareholder's stock is determined according to the principles of Section 1248 of the Code. In general, Section 1248 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder provide that the amount of earnings and profits attributable to a block of stock (as defined in Treasury Regulations under Section 1248 of the Code) in a foreign corporation is the ratably allocated portion of the foreign corporation's earnings and profits generated during the period the shareholder held the block of stock. PCSC does not expect to have significant cumulative net earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication. If PCSC does not have positive cumulative net earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication, then a 10% U.S. Shareholder should not be required to include in gross income an "all earnings and profits amount" with respect to its Public Shares. However, the determination of earnings and profits is a complex determination and may be impacted by numerous factors. It is possible that the amount of PCSC's cumulative net earnings and profits could be positive through the date of the Domestication in which case a 10% U.S. Shareholder would be required to include its "all earnings and profits amount" in income as a deemed dividend under Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2 as a result of the Domestication. Any such U.S. Holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, effectively be exempt from taxation on a portion or all of the deemed dividend pursuant to Section 245A of the Code.

*U.S. Holders Whose Public Shares Have a Fair Market Value of $50,000 or More and Who Own Less than 10 Percent of the Voting Power of PCSC and Less than 10 Percent of the Total Value of PCSC*

A U.S. Holder whose Public Shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of Domestication and who beneficially owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of ordinary shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of ordinary shares of PCSC will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to the Domestication unless such U.S. Holder elects to recognize the "all earnings and profits" amount attributable to such holder as described below.

Unless such a U.S. Holder makes the "all earnings and profits" election as described below, such holder generally must recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to shares of New Freenome Common Stock received in the Domestication in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of New Freenome Common Stock received over the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Public Shares deemed surrendered in the Domestication. Shareholders who hold different blocks of Public Shares (generally, shares of PCSC purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

------

As an alternative to recognizing any gain as described in the preceding paragraph, such a U.S. Holder may elect to include in income as a deemed dividend the "all earnings and profits amount" attributable to its Public Shares under Section 367(b) of the Code. There are, however, a number of specific conditions for making this election. This election must comply with applicable Treasury Regulations and generally must include, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a statement that the Domestication is a Section 367(b) exchange;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) a complete description of the Domestication;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) a description of any stock, securities or other consideration transferred or received in the Domestication;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) a statement describing the amounts required to be taken into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) a statement that the U.S. Holder is making the election and that includes (A) a copy of the information that the U.S. Holder received from PCSC establishing and substantiating the "all earnings and profits amount" with respect to the U.S. Holder's Public Shares, and (B) a representation that the U.S. Holder has notified PCSC (or New Freenome) that the U.S. Holder is making the election; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) certain other information required to be furnished with the U.S. Holder's tax return or otherwise furnished pursuant to the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

In addition, the election must be attached by an electing U.S. Holder to such holder's timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the Domestication occurs, and the U.S. Holder must send notice of making the election to PCSC or New Freenome no later than the date such tax return is filed. In connection with this election, PCSC may in its discretion provide each U.S. Holder eligible to make such an election with information regarding PCSC's earnings and profits upon written request.

PCSC does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication. If that proves to be the case, U.S. Holders who make this election should generally not have an income inclusion under Section 367(b) of the Code provided that the U.S. Holder properly executes the election and complies with the applicable notice requirements. However, as noted above, if it were determined that PCSC has positive cumulative earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication, a U.S. Holder that makes the election described herein could have an "all earnings and profits amount" with respect to its Public Shares, and thus could be required to include that amount in income as a deemed dividend under Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-3(b)(3) as a result of the Domestication.

**U.S. HOLDERS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF MAKING AN ELECTION AND THE APPROPRIATE FILING REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO AN ELECTION.**

U.S. Holders Whose Public Shares Have a Fair Market Value of Less Than $50,000 and Who Own Less than 10 Percent of the Voting Power of PCSC and Less than 10 Percent of the Total Value of PCSC. A U.S. Holder whose Public Shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of Domestication, and who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of ordinary shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of ordinary shares of PCSC, should not be required to recognize any gain or loss under Section 367 of the Code in connection with the Domestication and generally should not be required to include any part of the "all earnings and profits amount" in income.

**All U.S. Holders of Public Shares are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the effect of Section 367 of the Code to their particular circumstances.**

#### Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Public Shares That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights
This section is addressed to U.S. Holders of Public Shares that elect to exercise redemption rights to receive cash in exchange for Public Shares in the PCSC Shareholder Redemption. For purposes of this discussion, a "**Converting U.S. Holder**" is a U.S. Holder that elects to exercise redemption rights in respect of all or a portion of its Public Shares.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a Converting U.S. Holder will depend on whether the redemption of the U.S. Holder's Public Shares in the PCSC Shareholder Redemption qualifies as a sale of Public Shares under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code with respect to the Converting U.S. Holder. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of such U.S. Holder's Public Shares, such U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or capital loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and such

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
U.S. Holder's tax basis in Public Shares redeemed. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its Public Shares will generally be equal to the amount such U.S. Holder paid for such Public Shares. This gain or loss should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period of such Public Shares is more than one year at the time of the redemption. However, it is possible that because of the redemption rights associated with the Public Shares, the holding period of such shares may not be considered to begin until the date of such redemption (and, thus, it is possible that long-term capital gain or loss treatment may not apply). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Shareholders who hold different blocks of Public Shares (generally, Public Shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

A U.S. Holder's redemption of Public Shares in the PCSC Shareholder Redemption generally will qualify as a sale if such redemption (i) is "substantially disproportionate," (ii) results in a "complete termination" of such U.S. Holder's interest in PCSC or (iii) is "not essentially equivalent to a dividend" with respect to the Converting U.S. Holder. For purposes of such tests with respect to a Converting U.S. Holder, that Converting U.S. Holder may be deemed to own not only shares actually owned, but also constructively owned, which in some cases may include shares such Converting U.S. Holder may acquire pursuant to options and shares owned by certain family members, certain estates and trusts of which the Converting U.S. Holder is a beneficiary and certain corporations and partnerships.

Generally, the redemption will be "substantially disproportionate" with respect to the Converting U.S. Holder if (i) the Converting U.S. Holder's percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) of the outstanding voting shares (including all classes that carry voting rights) of PCSC is reduced immediately after the redemption to less than 80% of the Converting U.S. Holder's percentage interest (including constructive ownership) in such shares immediately before the redemption; (ii) the Converting U.S. Holder's percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) of the outstanding PCSC shares (both voting and nonvoting) immediately after the redemption is reduced to less than 80% of such percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) immediately before the redemption; and (iii) the Converting U.S. Holder owns (including constructive ownership), immediately after the redemption, less than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of PCSC entitled to vote. There will be a "complete termination" of such Converting U.S. Holder's interest if either (i) all of the PCSC shares actually and constructively owned by such Converting U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the PCSC shares actually owned by such Converting U.S. Holder are redeemed and such Converting U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of the PCSC shares owned by certain family members and such Converting U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other PCSC shares (including as a result of options or convertible securities) and otherwise complies with specific conditions. Whether the redemption will be considered "not essentially equivalent to a dividend" with respect to a Converting U.S. Holder will depend upon the particular circumstances of that Converting U.S. Holder. However, the redemption generally must result in a meaningful reduction in the Converting U.S. Holder's actual or constructive percentage ownership of PCSC. Whether the redemption will result in a "meaningful reduction" in such Converting U.S. Holder's proportionate interest will depend on the particular facts and circumstances applicable to it. If the Converting U.S. Holder's relative interest in PCSC is a small minority interest and the shareholder exercises no control over corporate affairs, taking into account the effect of redemptions by other shareholders, and its percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) is reduced as a result of the redemption, such Converting U.S. Holder may be regarded as having a meaningful reduction in its interest pursuant to a published ruling in which the IRS indicated that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a "meaningful reduction." A U.S. Holder is urged to consult with its tax advisors as to the tax consequences to it of any redemption of its Public Shares.

If none of the tests described above applies, the consideration paid to the Converting U.S. Holder generally will be treated as dividend income for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of PCSC's current or accumulated earnings and profits. Any distribution in excess of such earnings and profits will reduce the Converting U.S. Holder's basis in the Public Shares (but not below zero) and any remaining excess will be treated as capital gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Public Shares. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the Converting U.S. Holder in the Public Shares redeemed will generally be added to the Converting U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its remaining Public Shares. U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of Public Shares (generally, shares of PCSC purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

------

Because the Domestication will occur after PCSC Shareholder Redemptions, U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights should not be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367(b) of the Code as a result of the Domestication (discussed further above).

**ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF A REDEMPTION OF ALL OR A PORTION OF THEIR PUBLIC SHARES PURSUANT TO AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS.** 

#### Tax Consequences of the Mergers to U.S. Holders of Freenome Common Stock
In accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement intend that the Mergers, taken together as an integrated transaction (referred to herein as the "Integrated Merger"), qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and that each of Freenome, New Freenome, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II will be a "party to the reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code, and the Integrated Merger should qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. This discussion, to the extent it sets forth legal conclusions with respect to matters of U.S. federal income tax law regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Integrated Mergers to holders of Freenome Common Stock, constitutes the opinion of Goodwin Procter LLP, based on, and subject to, customary assumptions, qualifications and limitations, and the assumptions, qualifications and limitations herein and in the opinion included as Exhibit 8.2 hereto.

*Consequences if the Integrated Merger Qualifies as a Reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code*

Subject to the foregoing, Freenome and New Freenome intend to report the Integrated Merger as a tax-deferred "reorganization" pursuant to Section 368(a) of the Code. However, neither Freenome nor New Freenome intends to request any ruling or other guidance from the IRS on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Integrated Merger. Because of the many fact-specific requirements to qualify as a tax-deferred "reorganization," no assurance can be given that the Integrated Merger will qualify as a tax-deferred reorganization or that thereunder, or that a court would not sustain such challenge. If the IRS were to successfully challenge the "reorganization" status of the Integrated Merger, the tax consequences would vary significantly from those set forth immediately below; a summary of such tax consequences is provided further below under "*Consequences if the Integrated Merger Does Not Qualify as a Reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code*".

Assuming that the Integrated Merger qualifies as a "reorganization" under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code, in general, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences are expected to result to U.S. Holders who exchange shares of Freenome Common Stock for shares of New Freenome Common Stock in the Integrated Merger:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S. Holders will not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of shares of Freenome Common Stock solely for shares of New Freenome Common Stock in the Integrated Merger;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S. Holders who receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of New Freenome Common Stock in the Integrated Merger generally will be treated as having received such fractional shares in the Integrated Merger and then as having received cash in redemption of such fractional shares. Gain or loss will be recognized based on the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of the fractional share of New Freenome Common Stock and the portion of the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares of Freenome Common Stock surrendered which is allocable to the fractional share of New Freenome Common Stock, and adjusted as described above;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The aggregate tax basis of the shares of New Freenome Common Stock received by a U.S. Holder in the Integrated Merger generally will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of shares of Freenome Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor, decreased by the amount of cash received and increased by the amount of gain recognized by the U.S. Holder in the Integrated Merger; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The holding period of New Freenome Common Stock received by a U.S. Holder in the Integrated Merger will include the holding period of the shares of Freenome Common Stock surrendered by the U.S. Holder in the Integrated Merger.

**U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the allocation of tax basis between their stock consideration and their non-stock consideration, the amount of gain recognized, and the applicability of any tax reporting requirements to their particular circumstances.**

If the Integrated Merger qualifies as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, each significant U.S. Holder receiving shares of New Freenome Common Stock in the Integrated Merger would be required

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
to file a statement with its U.S. federal income tax return containing the information listed in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3, including the U.S. Holder's tax basis in the shares of Freenome Common Stock exchanged therefor and a description of the parties to the reorganization. A significant U.S. Holder includes any U.S. Holder who, immediately before the reorganization, either (i) owned at least 1% (by vote or value) of the outstanding capital stock of Freenome or (ii) owned securities of Freenome that had an adjusted tax basis of $1,000,000 or more.

*Consequences if the Integrated Merger Does Not Qualify as a Reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code*

A successful IRS challenge to the "reorganization" status of the Integrated Merger would result in U.S. Holders being treated as if they sold their shares of Freenome Common Stock in a fully taxable transaction in the First Merger. In that case, a U.S. Holder would recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash and the fair market value of New Freenome Common Stock received by such U.S. Holder in the First Merger and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis of the shares of Freenome Common Stock surrendered in the exchange. Such recognized gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares of Freenome Common Stock have been held for more than one year as of the date of the First Merger, and will be short-term capital gain or loss if the shares of Freenome Common Stock have been held for one year or less. The amount and character of gain or loss will be computed separately for each block of shares of Freenome Common Stock that was purchased by the U.S. Holder in the same transaction.

#### Non-U.S. Holders

#### Tax Consequences for Non-U. S. Holders of Owning and Disposing of New Freenome Common Stock
*Distributions on New Freenome Common Stock.* 

Distributions of cash or property to a Non-U.S. Holder in respect of New Freenome Common Stock received in the Domestication generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from New Freenome's current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. If a distribution exceeds New Freenome's current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will generally be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the Non-U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its New Freenome Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described below under "—*Gain on Disposition of New Freenome Common Stock*."

Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of New Freenome Common Stock generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate unless such Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate as described below. However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base of the Non-U.S. Holder) are not subject to such withholding tax, provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied (generally by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends are subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a United States person as defined under the Code. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

A Non-U.S. Holder of New Freenome Common Stock who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate and avoid backup withholding, as discussed below, for dividends will be required (a) to complete the applicable IRS Form W-8 and certify under penalty of perjury that such holder is not a United States person as defined under the Code and is eligible for treaty benefits or (b) if such Non-U.S. Holder's New Freenome Common Stock is held through certain foreign intermediaries, to satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable United States Treasury Regulations. Special certification and other requirements apply to certain Non-U.S. Holders that are pass-through entities rather than corporations or individuals.

A Non-U.S. Holder of New Freenome Common Stock eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to the benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
*Gain on Disposition of New Freenome Common Stock.* 

Subject to the below discussion of backup withholding and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (as defined below), any gain realized by a Non-U.S. Holder on the taxable disposition of New Freenome Common Stock generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base of the Non-U.S. Holder);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition, and certain other conditions are met; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• New Freenome is or has been a "United States real property holding corporation" for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder's holding period for such securities disposed of, and either (A) New Freenome Common Stock is not considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market or (B) such Non-U.S. Holder has owned or is deemed to have owned, at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition and such Non-U.S. Holder's holding period more than 5% of outstanding New Freenome Common Stock. There can be no assurance that New Freenome Common Stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.

A non-corporate Non-U.S. Holder described in the first bullet point immediately above will be subject to tax on the net gain derived from the sale of New Freenome Common Stock under regular U.S. federal income tax rates. An individual Non-U.S. Holder described in the second bullet point immediately above will be subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale of New Freenome Common Stock, which may be offset by certain United States source capital losses, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States, provided that the individual has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses. If a Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation falls under the first bullet point immediately above, it will be subject to tax on its net gain in the same manner as if it were a United States person as defined under the Code and, in addition, may be subject to the "branch profits tax" equal to 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits, subject to adjustments.

If the last bullet point immediately above applies to a Non-U.S. Holder, gain recognized by such Non-U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of New Freenome Common Stock generally will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a buyer of such New Freenome Common Stock from a Non-U.S. Holder may be required to withhold U.S. income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. New Freenome generally will be classified as a "U.S. real property holding corporation" if the fair market value of its "United States real property interests" equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. New Freenome does not expect to be classified as a "U.S. real property holding corporation" following the Business Combination. However, such determination is factual in nature and subject to change, and no assurance can be provided as to whether New Freenome is or will be a U.S. real property holding corporation with respect to a Non-U.S. Holder following the Business Combination or at any future time.

*Information Reporting and Backup Withholding*

New Freenome generally must report annually to the IRS and to each Non-U.S. Holder the amount of dividends paid to such holder and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

A Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to backup withholding for dividends paid to such holder unless such holder certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding generally will apply to the proceeds of a sale of New Freenome Common Stock within the United States or conducted through certain United

------

States-related financial intermediaries, unless the beneficial owner certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such owner otherwise establishes an exemption.

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

*Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act*

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated there under (commonly referred as the "**Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act**" or "**FATCA**") generally impose withholding at a rate of 30% in certain circumstances on dividends in respect of, and (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, securities (including New Freenome Common Stock) which are held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless any such institution (i) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments or (ii) if required under an inter-governmental agreement between the U.S. and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An inter-governmental agreement between the U.S. and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which New Freenome Common Stock are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of, and (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, New Freenome Common Stock held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to with-holding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies to the applicable with holding agent that such entity does not have any "substantial United States owners" or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity's "substantial United States owners," which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury.

Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally applies to payments of dividends in respect of New Freenome Common Stock. While withholding under FATCA generally would also apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of securities (including New Freenome Common Stock), proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Tax-payers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued. All holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in New Freenome Common Stock.

#### UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

#### Introduction
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the combination of the financial information of Freenome and PCSC adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 (the "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet") combines the audited consolidated balance sheet of Freenome as of December 31, 2025 and the audited consolidated balance sheet of PCSC on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination had been consummated on December 31, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations") combines the audited consolidated statements of operations of Freenome for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the audited consolidated statements of operations of PCSC for the year ended December 31, 2025 on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination had been consummated on January 1, 2025, the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025 and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2025, together with the accompanying notes, are referenced herein as the "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements".

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position and operating results that would have been achieved had the Business Combination occurred on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of New Freenome following the completion of the Business Combination and may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of New Freenome following the Closing. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected in this proxy statement/prospectus due to a variety of factors. Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management's estimates based on information available as of the date on which this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was derived from and should be read together with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, financial statements of Freenome and PCSC included in this proxy statement/prospectus, the sections titled *"Freenome's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"* and *"PCSC's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,"* and other information relating to Freenome and PCSC contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Business Combination Agreement and the description of certain terms thereof set forth in the section titled *"The Business Combination."*

#### Description of the Business Combination
On December 5, 2025, Freenome entered into the Business Combination Agreement with PCSC, Merger Sub I, and Merger Sub II, pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, among other things, the Domestication will occur and PCSC will change its name to Freenome, Inc. In connection with the Domestication, each issued and outstanding PCSC Class A Share and PCSC Class B Share and each outstanding preference share of PCSC (if any) will be converted into one share of New Freenome Common Stock.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Following the Domestication, Merger Sub I will merge with and into Freenome, with Freenome as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Freenome (the "First Merger"). At the time the First Merger becomes effective (the "Effective Time"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Each share of Freenome common stock (collectively, "Freenome Common Shares") issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including converted preferred shares, excluding treasury shares and shares subject to appraisal rights) will be canceled and converted into New Freenome Common Stock based on an exchange ratio, which is based on an implied Freenome base equity value of $725,000,000 and subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement (the "Exchange Ratio");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Each option to purchase Freenome Common Shares (each, a "Freenome Option"), whether vested or unvested, will be canceled in exchange for options to purchase New Freenome Common Stock under the equity incentive plan to be adopted by PCSC in advance of the Closing (the "New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan") adjusted for the Exchange Ratio and exercise price, and subject to prior terms (vesting, expiration, forfeiture); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Each restricted stock unit award that is outstanding with respect to Freenome Common Shares (each, a "Freenome RSU Award") will be canceled and replaced with a restricted stock unit award under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan, settling in New Freenome Common Stock per an allocation schedule, generally subject to prior terms.

As part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, Freenome, as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, will merge with and into Merger Sub II with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving company in the merger (the "Second Merger" and together with the First Merger, the "Mergers").

In addition, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on December 5, 2025, PCSC entered into subscription agreements (the "Subscription Agreements") with certain qualified institutional buyers, institutional accredited investors, and other accredited investors, including, among others, Perceptive Life Sciences Master Fund Ltd, a fund managed by Perceptive Advisors, an affiliate of the Sponsor, as well as certain existing stockholders of Freenome (collectively, the "PIPE Investors"). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and PCSC agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, on the Closing Date, an aggregate of 24,000,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $240,000,000 (the "PIPE Financing"). An affiliate of the Sponsor and certain existing stockholders of Freenome subscribed for approximately 23% and 21%, respectively, of the PIPE Financing.

For more information about the Business Combination and PIPE Financing, please see the section titled "*The Business Combination*." A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

#### Anticipated Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination
The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP, whereby PCSC is treated as the acquired company and Freenome is treated as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Freenome issuing stock for the net assets of PCSC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of PCSC will be stated at fair value, which approximates their historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Subsequently, results of operations presented for the periods prior to the Business Combination will be for those of Freenome.

Freenome has been determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on the following predominate factors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Freenome's existing shareholders will have the greatest voting interest in the combined entity under the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios with over 63% of the voting interest in each scenario;

#### Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments based on information available as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented as additional information becomes available. Management considers this basis of presentation to be reasonable under the circumstances.

In accordance with PCSC's governing documents, PCSC will provide the holders of PCSC Class A Shares the right to have all or a portion of their PCSC Class A Shares for cash, for a per-share price equal to the pro rata portion of the funds then in PCSC's trust account (including interest not previously released to pay taxes). Any such redemptions will occur immediately prior to the consummation of the Domestication.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the Business Combination and related transactions, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The PIPE Financing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The conversion of Roche Convertible Note (including principal and accrued interest) into shares of New Freenome Common Stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Incremental compensation expense associated with the grant of Anti-Dilution Equity Awards and vested restricted stock units;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The conversion of each issued and outstanding PCSC Class A Share and PCSC Class B Share and each outstanding preference share of PCSC (if any) into New Freenome Common Stock; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The issuance of New Freenome Common Stock in connection with the Mergers, subject to the redemption scenarios described below.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents two redemption scenarios as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Assuming No Redemptions**: This presentation assumes that none of the holders of PCSC's Class A Shares exercise redemption rights with respect to such shares. Therefore, as described above, holders of PCSC Class A Shares as of immediately prior to the Closing shall receive a number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Assuming Maximum Redemptions**: This presentation assumes that holders of 6,568,122 PCSC Class A Shares exercise redemption rights with respect to such shares for their pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account. As described above, the Business Combination Agreement includes a condition that, at the Closing, aggregate transaction proceeds be greater than or equal to $250.0 million in cash, including (i) cash from the Trust Account (after reduction for the aggregate amount of payments required to be made in connection with any redemption), plus (ii) the aggregate amount of cash that has been funded pursuant to the PIPE, minus the Unpaid PCSC expenses. Thus, the redemption of 6,568,122 PCSC Class A Shares represents the estimated maximum number of PCSC Class A Shares that can be redeemed while still achieving the minimum aggregate transaction proceeds of $250.0 million.

The following summarizes the pro forma capitalization of the post-combination company expected immediately following the Closing, presented under the two redemption scenarios:

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. **Basis of Presentation** 

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP, whereby PCSC is treated as the acquired company and Freenome is treated as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination is expected to be treated as the equivalent of Freenome issuing stock for the net assets of PCSC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of PCSC will be stated at fair value, which approximates their historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Subsequently, results of operations presented for the periods prior to the Business Combination will be for those of Freenome.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on December 31, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2025.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Freenome's audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PCSC's audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Freenome's audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PCSC's audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The foregoing historical financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on the aforementioned historical financial statements and the assumptions and adjustments as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the completion of the Business Combination are based on currently available information and assumptions and methodologies that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. Management believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at the current time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Freenome and PCSC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information** 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

The pro forma combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had New Freenome following the Closing, filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are based upon the expected number of New Freenome shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2025.

#### Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet
The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Reflects the reclassification of cash and investments held in the Trust Account that becomes available following the Business Combination to cash and cash equivalents, assuming no redemptions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Reflects the payment of $3.5 million in deferred underwriters' compensation subject to an agreement with the underwriters.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Reflects proceeds of $240.0 million from the issuance and sale of 24,000,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock at $10.00 per share in the PIPE Financing pursuant to the Subscription Agreements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Reflects the reclassification of $91.9 million of PCSC Class A Shares subject to possible redemption to permanent equity, assuming no redemptions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Reflects the conversion of 2,156,250 PCSC Class B Shares into 2,156,250 shares of New Freenome Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Represents the exchange of 8,911,250 PCSC Class A Shares for 8,911,250 shares of New Freenome Common Stock, assuming no redemptions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Represents preliminary estimated transaction costs to be incurred by Freenome and PCSC of approximately $10.0 million and $8.5 million, respectively, for legal, financial advisory and other professional fees. PCSC's estimated transaction costs exclude the deferred underwriting fees as described in Note 2(b) above.

For Freenome's transaction costs:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $0.8 million was deferred in other long-term assets and paid by Freenome as of December 31, 2025;

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $2.1 million was reflected as an adjustment to accumulated deficit, which represents the total estimated PCSC transaction costs less: (i) $4.1 million capitalized and offset against the proceeds from the PIPE investment; and (ii) $2.2 million previously recognized by PCSC as of December 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Reflects the conversion of the Roche Convertible Note and accrued interest into 6,420,139 shares of New Freenome Common Stock in connection with the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Reflects the recapitalization of Freenome's equity consisting of 26,267,598 shares of common stock and 212,541,832 shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock into 71,089,352 shares of New Freenome Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Reflects the elimination of PCSC's historical accumulated deficit after recording the transaction costs to be incurred by PCSC as described in Note 2(g) above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) Represents the recognition of stock-based compensation expense associated with Freenome restricted stock units, the vesting of which is conditioned on the satisfaction of a service condition and a liquidity event requirement, which is expected to be satisfied no later than six months following the Closing. These costs expensed through Accumulated deficit are included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 as discussed in Note 2(cc) below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) Represents the maximum redemption of 6,568,122 PCSC Class A Shares for approximately $70.0 million.

#### Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations
The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025, are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(aa) Represents pro forma adjustment to eliminate historical expenses related to PCSC's administrative, financial and support services paid to the Sponsor, which will terminate upon consummation of the Business Combination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(bb) Represents pro forma adjustment to eliminate interest and unrealized gain (loss) from investments held in Trust Account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(cc) Represents the recognition of stock-based compensation expense associated with Freenome restricted stock units that, on a pro forma basis, will have vested at the Closing. These costs are reflected as if incurred on January 1, 2025, the date the Business Combination occurred for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. This is a non-recurring item.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(dd) Reflects the amortization of stock-based compensation expense associated with Freenome's unvested restricted stock units, which are subject to vesting based upon both a service-based requirement and a liquidity event requirement. At the Closing the liquidity event requirement will have been meet and Freenome will amortize stock-based compensation expense associated with the unvested restricted stock units over the remaining service period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ee) Reflects the recognition of stock-based compensation expense associated with the Anti-Dilution Equity Awards that will be granted following the Business Combination, pursuant to the Elliott Offer Letter. The terms of the Elliott Offer Letter provide that an Anti-Dilution Option grant and an Anti-Dilution RSU grant will be made such that the aggregate number of shares underlining outstanding option awards and RSU awards issued to the employee are equal to 0.5% and 0.5%, respectively, of the fully-diluted capitalization of New Freenome following the Closing. The estimated number of Anti-Dilution Options to be granted are 295,660 options assuming no redemptions, or 262,819 options assuming maximum redemptions. The estimated number of Anti-Dilution RSUs to be granted are 295,660 RSUs assuming no redemptions, or 262,819 RSUs assuming maximum redemptions. The strike price of the Anti-Dilution Option will be equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date the new Freenome's Board approves that grant. The other terms and conditions of the Anti-Dilution Option and Anti-Dilution RSUs, including the vesting commencement date and vesting schedule will be the same as the Initial Option and Initial RSU Award provided for in the employment agreement.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Compensation expense for the Anti-Dilution Option was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the estimated $10 per share price of New Freenome, 6.7 year expected term, 68.9% estimated volatility and risk-free rate of 3.94%.

Compensation expense for the Anti-Dilution RSU grant is based on the $10 per share price of New Freenome.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ff) Reflects the elimination of interest expense related to the Roche Convertible Note, which will be converted into shares of New Freenome Common Stock as described in Note 2(h) above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(gg) No income tax adjustment is reflected for the year ended December 31, 2025 based on Freenome's estimated annual effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2025, and Freenome having a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Loss per Share** 

Represents the net loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2025. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination and related transactions have been outstanding for the entire periods presented. When assuming maximum redemption, this calculation is adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire period.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming two alternative levels of redemption for the year ended December 31, 2025:

Includes 5,611,655 shares of New Freenome Common Stock issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor upon conversion of Freenome capital stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Includes 2,066,250 PCSC Class B Shares and 286,250 PCSC Class A private placement shares held by the Sponsor and 90,000 PCSC Class B Shares held by PCSC independent directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) The pro forma weighted average shares, basic and diluted exclude the following because including them would be antidilutive:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 3,333,333 shares issuable upon conversion of the Exact Sciences Note;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 8,252,587 unexercised Freenome stock options;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 1,574,825 unvested Freenome restricted stock units that remain subject to future service; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 14,628 unexercised Freenome warrants.

#### DILUTION
PCSC shareholders who acquired public shares in PCSC's initial public offering will have their ownership interests diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price of $10.00 per public share sold in PCSC's initial public offering and the net tangible book value per share at the time of the Business Combination assuming various sources of material probable dilution described below but excluding the effects of the consummation of the Business Combination itself.

As of December 31, 2025, PCSC's net tangible book value was ($4.8 million), calculated as total assets of $92.8 million less total liabilities of $5.7 million, and less public shares subject to redemption classified in mezzanine equity of $91.9 million. The number of PCSC Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2025, was 11,067,500, which includes 8,911,250 PCSC Class A Shares and 2,156,250 PCSC Class B Shares.

The following table presents the net tangible book value per share at various redemption levels that may occur in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination assuming various sources of material probable dilution, but excluding the effects of the Business Combination transaction itself. This presentation takes into account the PIPE Financing, the reclassification of unredeemed public shares of PCSC to permanent equity, and the payment of PCSC's estimated transaction costs in connection with the potential Business Combination. In addition to excluding the Business Combination itself, this presentation excludes (i) 8,252,587 shares of New Freenome Common Stock that will be issuable upon the exercise of the Rollover Options, (ii) 4,294,391 shares of New Freenome Common Stock that will be issuable pursuant to the Rollover RSU Awards, (iii) 6,420,139 shares of New Freenome Common Stock that will be issuable upon conversion of the Roche Convertible Note, and (iv) shares of New Freenome Common Stock, that will initially be available for issuance under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan and New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) This scenario assumes that no public shares are redeemed. This scenario further assumes the closing of the PIPE Financing of $240.0 million, the reclassification of unredeemed public shares of PCSC to permanent equity of $91.9 million and payment of the estimated transaction costs of PCSC of $6.2 million, net of associated liabilities of $5.7 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) This scenario assumes that 2,156,250 public shares, or 25% of the Public Shares subject to redemption, are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $22.9 million (based on the estimated per-share redemption price of approximately $10.65 per share) from the trust account based on funds in the trust account as of December 31, 2025. This scenario further assumes the closing of the PIPE Financing of $240.0 million, the reclassification of unredeemed public shares of PCSC to permanent equity of $68.9 million, and payment of the estimated transaction costs of PCSC of $6.2 million net of associated liabilities of $5.7 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) This scenario assumes that 4,312,500 public shares, or 50% of the Public Shares subject to redemption, are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $45.9 million (based on the estimated per-share redemption price of approximately $10.65 per share) from the trust account based on funds in the trust account as of December 31, 2025. This scenario further assumes the closing of the PIPE Financing of $240.0 million, the reclassification of unredeemed public shares of PCSC to permanent equity of $45.9 million, and payment of the estimated transaction costs of PCSC of $6.2 million, net of associated liabilities of $5.7 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) This scenario assumes that 6,568,122 public shares, or approximately 76% of the public shares subject to redemption, are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $70.0 million (based on the estimated per-share redemption price of approximately $10.65 per share) from the trust account based on funds in the trust account as of December 31, 2025. This scenario further assumes the closing of the PIPE Financing of $240.0 million, the reclassification of unredeemed public shares of PCSC to permanent equity of $21.9 million and payment of the estimated transaction costs of PCSC of $6.2 million, net of associated liabilities of $5.7 million. Pursuant to the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition, at the Closing, aggregate transaction proceeds be greater than or equal to $250.0 million in cash, including (i) cash from the Trust Account (after reduction for the aggregate amount of payments required to be made in connection with any redemption), plus (ii) the aggregate amount of cash that has been funded pursuant to the PIPE, minus the Unpaid PCSC expenses. Thus, the redemption of 6,568,122 public shares, approximately 76% of the public shares subject to redemption, represents the estimated maximum number of public shares that can be redeemed while still achieving the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition.

After taking into account the effects of the consummation of the Business Combination itself, for each of the No Redemptions Scenario, 25% Redemptions Scenario, 50% Redemptions Scenario, and Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition Redemptions Scenario, the valuation of Freenome would need to equal $1,126.2 million, $1,104.6 million, $1,083.1 million and $1,060.5 million, respectively, in order for the non-redeeming shareholders' interest per share to be at least equal to the price per public share ($10.00 per share) in PCSC's initial public offering.

#### Experience with Special Purpose Acquisition Vehicles
Our management team has previous experience in the execution of public acquisition vehicles. In July 2020, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp. consummated its initial business combination with Immatics Biotechnologies GmbH ("***Immatics***"). The ordinary shares of the combined company, Immatics N.V., are traded on Nasdaq under the symbol "IMTX." Mr. Stone continues to serve on the supervisory board of directors of Immatics N.V. following the consummation of the business combination.

Our founders and our directors and officers, Perceptive Advisors, or its affiliates expect in the future to become affiliated with other public special purpose acquisition companies that may have acquisition objectives that are similar to ours.

On June 13, 2024, we consummated an initial public offering of 8,625,000 Class A ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value per share (the "***PCSC Class A Shares***"), at an offering price of $10.00 per share, which includes the exercise in

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
full of the underwriter's option to purchase an additional 1,125,000 PCSC Class A Shares, at an offering price of $10.00 per share, to cover over-allotments, and a Private Placement with our Sponsor of 286,250 PCSC Class A Shares at a price of $10.00 per share.

Following the closing of our initial public offering and the private placement, an amount equal to $86,250,000 of the net proceeds from its initial public offering and certain of the proceeds from the sale of the private placement were placed in the trust account, located in the U.S. with Continental acting as trustee. The trust account may be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. At December 31, 2025, assets held in the trust account were comprised of $234 in cash and $91,872,184 in U.S. treasury securities. These funds will remain in the trust account, except for the withdrawal of interest to fund our working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $300,000 and/or to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (i) the completion of our initial business combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with the approval by shareholder vote of an amendment to the Existing Governing Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide for the redemption of our public shares in connection with an initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we have not consummated our initial business combination by June 13, 2026 or (B) with respect to any other provisions relating to rights of our public shares; or (iii) absent an initial business combination by June 13, 2026 (unless such date is extended in accordance with the Existing Governing Documents), our return of the funds held in the trust account to our public shareholders as part of our redemption of the public shares.

PCSC Class A Shares are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "PCSC."

#### Financial Position
As of December 31, 2025, we had $91,872,418 held in the trust account and available for our initial business combination (assuming no redemptions). After consideration of $3,450,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable upon consummation of a business combination, we offer a target business a variety of options such as creating a liquidity event for its owners, providing capital for the potential growth and expansion of its operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt ratio. Because we are able to complete our initial business combination using PCSC's cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility to use the most efficient combination that will allow us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to fit its needs and desires. However, we have not taken any steps to secure third party financing and there can be no assurance it will be available to us.

#### Effecting Our Business Combination

#### Fair Market Value of Target Business
The Nasdaq Listing Rules require that our business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts held in trust and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. Our board of directors determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed Business Combination.

#### Lack of Business Diversification
For an indefinite period of time after the completion of our initial business combination, the prospects for our success may depend entirely on the future performance of a single business. Unlike other entities that have the resources to complete business combinations with multiple entities in one or several industries, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations and mitigate the risks of being in a single line of business. By completing our initial business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• subject us to negative economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact on the particular industry in which we operate after our initial business combination; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cause us to depend on the marketing and sale of a single product or limited number of products or services.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Limited Ability to Evaluate the Target's Management Team
Although we intend to closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting our initial business combination with that business, our assessment of the target business's management may not prove to be correct. In addition, the future management may not have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future role of members of our management team, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. The determination as to whether any of the members of our management team will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial business combination. While it is possible that one or more of our directors will remain associated in some capacity with us following our initial business combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to our affairs subsequent to our initial business combination. Moreover, we cannot assure you that members of our management team will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.

We cannot assure you that any of our key personnel will remain in senior management or advisory positions with the combined company. The determination as to whether any of our key personnel will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial business combination.

Following a business combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure you that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 11,067,500 PCSC Shares issued and outstanding, which includes an aggregate of 286,250 private placement shares, which are PCSC Class A Shares, held by the Sponsor and 2,156,250 PCSC Class B Shares held by the initial shareholders, being the Sponsor and PCSC's independent directors (Messrs. McKenna, Song and Waksal).

None of the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders nor any of their respective affiliates has purchased, or currently has an intention to purchase, public shares prior to the extraordinary general meeting. However, subject to Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, at any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding PCSC or its securities, the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase public shares prior to the extraordinary general meeting. The purpose of such transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that (i) the Business Combination Proposal, each of the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are approved by the requisite majorities, (ii) otherwise limit the number of public shares electing to redeem and (iii) New Freenome's net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the PIPE Financing. If such purchases occur, the public "float" of New Freenome following the Business Combination may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of the New Freenome Common Stock on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange.

In the event that the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders and/or any of their respective affiliates, subject to Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their public shares. Any public shares purchased by the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders or any of their respective affiliates would not be voted in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals, and redemptions rights (if any) over such purchased securities would be waived by the aforementioned persons. Any such purchased securities would also have a purchase price no higher than the redemption price.

Any purchases by our initial shareholders, advisors and/or their affiliates who are affiliated purchasers under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act will only be made to the extent such purchases are able to be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18, which is a safe harbor from liability for manipulation under Section 9(a)(2) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Rule 10b-18 has certain technical requirements that must be complied with in order for the safe harbor to be available to the purchaser. Our initial shareholders, advisors and/or their affiliates will be subject to restrictions in making purchases of ordinary shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Additionally, in the event our initial shareholders, advisors or their affiliates were to purchase public shares from public shareholders, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our registration statement/proxy statement filed for our business combination transaction would disclose the possibility that our initial shareholders, advisors and their affiliates may purchase public shares from public shareholders outside the redemption process, along with the purpose of such purchases;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if our initial shareholders, advisors and their affiliates were to purchase public shares from public shareholders, they would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through our redemption process;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our registration statement/proxy statement filed for our business combination transaction would include a representation that any of our securities purchased by our initial shareholders, advisors and their affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our initial shareholders, advisors and their affiliates would not possess any redemption rights with respect to our securities or, if they do acquire and possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we would disclose in a Form 8-K, before our security holder meeting to approve the business combination transaction, the following material items:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount of our securities purchased outside of the redemption offer by our initial shareholders, advisors and their affiliates, along with the purchase price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the purpose of the purchases by our initial shareholders, advisors and their affiliates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact, if any, of the purchases by our initial shareholders, advisors and their affiliates on the likelihood that the business combination transaction will be approved;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the identities of our security holders who sold to our initial shareholders, advisors and their affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of our security holders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold to our initial shareholders, advisors and their affiliates; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of our securities for which we have received redemption requests pursuant to our redemption offer.

#### Redemption Rights for Public Shareholders upon Completion of the Business Combination
We will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their PCSC Class A Shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us for permitted withdrawals, divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. As of January, 2026, the amount in the trust account was approximately $91,918,776.09, or approximately $10.66 per public share. The per share amount we will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commission we will pay to Jefferies, the underwriter of our initial public offering. The redemption rights include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to the PCSC transfer agent in order to validly redeem its shares. Further, we will not proceed with redeeming our public shares, even if a public shareholder has properly elected to redeem its shares, if a business combination does not close. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their PCSC Class B Shares, Private Placement Shares and any PCSC Class A shares in connection with (i) the completion of our initial business combination; and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Existing Governing Documents (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our public shares the right to have their shares redeemed or repurchased in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by June 13, 2026 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our public shares.

#### Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation if No Business Combination
Our Existing Governing Documents provide that we only have until June 13, 2026, to consummate an initial business combination. If we do not consummate an initial business combination by June 13, 2026, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
days thereafter, redeem 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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us for permitted withdrawals (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all other cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. Our Existing Governing Documents provide that, if we wind up for any other reason prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, we will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the Trust Account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands law.

Our Sponsor and each member of our management team has entered into the Letter Agreement, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any founder shares or private placement shares they hold if we fail to consummate an initial business combination by June 13, 2026 (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination by June 13, 2026).

Our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, that they will not propose any amendment to the Existing Governing Documents (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our public shares the right to have their shares redeemed or repurchased in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by June 13, 2026 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our public shares, unless we provide our public shareholders (other than initial shareholders, officers or directors) with the opportunity to redeem their public shares following the approval, and upon implementation by the directors, 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 earned on the funds held in the trust account less permitted withdrawals, divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares in issue. This redemption right shall apply following the approval and upon implementation of any such amendment, whether proposed by our sponsor, any officer, director or director nominee, or any other person.

We expect that all costs and expenses associated with our liquidation and dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining in working capital held outside the trust account, plus funds from permitted withdrawals, plus up to $100,000 of funds from the trust account available to us to pay dissolution expenses, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose.

If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the private placement shares, other than the proceeds deposited in the trust account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account, the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders upon our dissolution would be $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our public shareholders. We cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by shareholders will not be less than $10.00. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors' claims.

Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (excluding our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our public shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party's engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. Our independent registered accounting firm will not execute agreements with us waiving such claims

------

to the monies held in the Trust Account. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, our sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us (excluding our independent registered accounting firm), or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentially or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn for permitted withdrawals and, if we decide to liquidate, $100,000 of dissolution expenses, *provided* that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, our sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. However, we have not asked our sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that our sponsor's only assets are securities of our company. Our sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn for permitted withdrawals and, if we decide to liquidate, $100,000 of dissolution expenses, and our sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.00 per public share.

We will seek to reduce the possibility that our sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (excluding our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Our sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. As of December 31, 2025, we have access to operating cash of approximately $865,031 cash held outside the Trust Account with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, shareholders who received funds from our Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors; however such liability will not be greater than the amount of funds from our Trust Account received by any such shareholder.

If we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return $10.00 per public share to our public shareholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a "preferential transfer" or a "fraudulent conveyance."

------

As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

See "*Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and PCSC—If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and the members of our board of directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to our creditors, thereby exposing the members of our board of directors and us to claims of punitive damages*."

#### Facilities
We currently maintain our executive offices at 51 Astor Place, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10003. The cost for our use of this space is included in the $15,000 per month fee we pay to our sponsor for office space, administrative and support services. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.

#### Employees
We currently have three officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial business combination and the stage of the business combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination.

#### Directors and Officers
Our officers and directors are as follows:

---

Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in the Existing Governing Documents as it deems appropriate. The Existing Governing Documents provide that our officers may consist of any officer that may be required (including, for the avoidance of doubt, one or more chief executive officers, a chief financial officer, presidents, vice presidents, one or more assistant vice-presidents, one or more assistant treasurers, and one or more assistant secretaries, a treasurer).

#### Director Independence
Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. An "independent director" is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship with the company which in the opinion of the company's board of directors, could interfere with the director's exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. We have "independent directors" as defined in Nasdaq's listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our board of directors has determined that Joseph Edelman, Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song and Harlan W. Waksal are "independent directors" as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards. Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song and Harlan W. Waksal are independent under applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

#### Committees of the Board of Directors
In addition to the Special Committee, described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, our board of directors has three standing committees: an audit committee, a nominating committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Each committee operates under a charter that has been approved by our board and has the composition and responsibilities described below. The charter of each committee is available on our website.

#### Audit Committee
Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song and Harlan W. Waksal serve as members of our audit committee. Our board of directors has determined that each of Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song and Harlan W. Waksal is independent. Harlan W. Waksal serves as the chairman of the audit committee. Each member of the audit committee meets the financial literacy requirements of Nasdaq and our board of directors has determined that Harlan W. Waksal qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in applicable SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise.

The audit committee is responsible for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• meeting with our independent registered public accounting firm regarding, among other issues, audits, and adequacy of our accounting and control systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• monitoring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• appointing or replacing the independent registered public accounting firm;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing and approving all payments made to our existing shareholders, officers or directors and their respective affiliates. Any payments made to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by our board of directors, with the interested director or directors abstaining from such review and approval.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Nominating Committee
The members of our nominating committee are Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song and Harlan W. Waksal, and Mark C. McKenna serves as chairman of the nominating committee. Our board of directors has determined that each of Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song and Harlan W. Waksal is independent.

The nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our board of directors. The nominating committee considers persons identified by its members, management, shareholders, investment bankers and others.

*Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees* 

The guidelines for selecting nominees, which have been specified in a charter adopted by us, generally provide that persons to be nominated:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• should have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• should possess the requisite intelligence, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the board of directors and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• should have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and intense dedication to serving the interests of the shareholders.

The nominating committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person's candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The nominating committee will not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons.

#### Compensation Committee
Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song and Harlan W. Waksal serve as members of our compensation committee, and Kenneth Song serve as chairman of the compensation committee.

Our board of directors has determined that each of Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song and Harlan W. Waksal is independent. We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer's compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer's performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other Section 16 officers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

The charter provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of our officers currently serve, and in the past year have not served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors.

#### Clawback Policy
Our board of directors has adopted a Clawback Policy (the "***Clawback Policy***") designed to comply with Section 10D of the Exchange Act, the rules promulgated thereunder, and the listing standards of Nasdaq. We believe that it is in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders to create and maintain a culture that emphasizes integrity and accountability and that reinforces our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy. Our board of directors therefore adopted the Clawback Policy, which provides for the recoupment of certain executive compensation in the event that PCSC is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws. The Clawback Policy is administered by our Compensation Committee. Any determinations made by our Compensation Committee are final and binding on all affected individuals. The Clawback Policy applies to our current and former officers (as determined by the Compensation Committee in accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act, the rules promulgated thereunder, and the listing standards of Nasdaq) and such other senior executives or employees who may from time to time be deemed subject to the Clawback Policy by the Compensation Committee.

#### Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees (the "***Code of Ethics***"). The Code of Ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business. A copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon written request to our principal executive offices. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics on our website https://www.perceptivelife.com/pcsc. We do not incorporate the information contained on, or accessible through, our website into this proxy statement/prospectus, and you should not consider it a part of this proxy statement/prospectus or information filed with the SEC.

#### Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our ordinary shares to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of such Forms, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2024 there were no delinquent filers.

#### Trading Policies
We have not adopted a separate insider trading policy to date but require officers, directors and any employees to comply with our Code of Ethics that provides that it is the personal responsibility of each of our officers, directors or employees to adhere to the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations, which includes compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations. We expect that the post-business combination company will adopt an insider trading policy and procedures governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of the company's securities by directors, officers and employees, or the company itself, that are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and any applicable listing standards in connection with the business combination transaction.

#### Conflicts of Interest
Under Cayman Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• directors should not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• duty to exercise authority for the purpose for which it is conferred and a duty to exercise powers fairly as between different sections of shareholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• duty to exercise independent judgement.

In addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience of that director.

As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders *provided* that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in Existing Governing Documents or alternatively by shareholder approval at shareholder meetings.

Certain of our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities, including entities that are affiliates of our sponsor, pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. Our Existing Governing Documents provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) no individual serving as a director or an officer shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as us; and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and us, on the other. We do not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors will materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.

Below is a table summarizing the entities to which our officers and directors currently have fiduciary duties, contractual obligations or other material management relationships:

Potential investors should also be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our officers and directors are not required to, and will not, commit their full time to our affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and our search for a business combination and their other businesses. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination. Each of our officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he may be entitled to substantial compensation, and our officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs. Further, our sponsor and our officers and directors may sponsor or form other special purpose acquisition companies similar to ours or may pursue other business or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an initial business combination. Any such companies, businesses or investments may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial business combination. However, we do not believe that any such potential conflicts would materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our sponsor subscribed for founder shares and purchased private placement shares in a private placement that closed simultaneously with our initial public offering. In April 2024, our sponsor transferred 30,000 founder shares to each of Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song and Harlan W. Waksal. Our sponsor and our management team have entered into the Letter Agreement, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and PCSC Class A Shares in connection with (i) the completion of our initial business combination and (ii) the approval by the shareholders of an amendment to the Existing Governing Documents (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our public shares the right to have their shares redeemed or repurchased in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by June 13, 2026 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our public shares. Additionally, our sponsor and each member of our management team have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares and their private placement shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination by

------

June 13, 2026. Except as described herein, our sponsor and our management team have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares until the earliest of (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination and (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the closing price of our PCSC Class A Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. With certain limited exceptions, the Private Placement Shares will not be transferable until 30 days following the completion of our initial business combination. Such transfer restrictions applicable to the founder shares and private placement shares will be amended in connection with the Business Combination and pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement and Investor Rights Agreement. As discussed under "*Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Investor Rights Agreement*" certain transfer restrictions applicable to the founder shares and private placement shares will be amended in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Because each of our officers and director nominees will own ordinary shares directly or indirectly, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination. The low price that our sponsor, officers and directors (directly or indirectly) paid for the founder shares creates an incentive whereby our officers and directors could potentially make a substantial profit even if we select an acquisition target that subsequently declines in value and is unprofitable for public shareholders. If we do not complete our initial business combination by June 13, 2026, the founder shares may lose most of their value, except to the extent they receive liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account, which could create an incentive for our sponsor, officers and directors to complete a transaction even if we select an acquisition target that subsequently declines in value and is unprofitable for public shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• By seeking shareholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if a majority of the issued and outstanding PCSC Shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, voted at a shareholder meeting are voted in favor of the Business Combination. In such case, our sponsor and directors and officers have agreed to vote their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in favor of our proposed initial business combination (for more information on voting and permitted purchases of public shares see, "*—Effecting Our Business Combination—Permitted Purchases of Our Securities and Other Transactions with Respect to Our Securities.* ")

We cannot assure you that any of the above-mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor.

You should also review the conflicts of interest of the Sponsor and PCSC's directors and officers disclosed in the section entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination*" in this proxy statement/prospectus.

#### Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, actual fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide for indemnification of our existing or former secretary, officers (including an investment adviser or an administrator or liquidator) and directors (including alternate directors) and their personal representatives to the extent permitted by applicable law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect. We entered into agreements with our directors and officers to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. We purchased a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Our officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account, and have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever (except to the extent they are entitled to funds from the Trust Account due to their ownership of public shares). Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be satisfied by us if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination.

Our indemnification obligations may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

#### Executive Compensation and Director Compensation
In April 2024, our sponsor transferred 30,000 founder shares to each of Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song and Harlan W. Waksal. None of our officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Until the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination and our liquidation, beginning on the closing date of our Initial Public Offering, have paid our sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to us in the amount of $15,000 per month. In addition, we may pay our sponsor or any of our officers or directors, or any entity with which they are affiliated, a finder's fee, consulting fee or other compensation in connection with identifying, investigating and completing our initial business combination, which we will disclose in the proxy statement filed in connection with our initial business combination. In addition, our sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee reviews, on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account or funds received from permitted withdrawals. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, we do not expect to have any additional controls in place governing our reimbursement to our directors and officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our activities on our behalf in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination.

After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed business combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed business combination, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our executive officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.

We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management's motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

#### Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information
PCSC does not grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, or similar instruments with option-like features and has no policies or practices to disclose pursuant to Item 402(x)(1) of Regulation S-K.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Properties
We currently maintain our executive offices at 51 Astor Place, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10003. The cost for our use of this space is included in the $15,000 per month fee we pay to our Sponsor for office space, administrative and support services. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the principal executive offices of New Freenome will be located at 3300 Marina Boulevard, Brisbane, California 94005.

#### Competition
In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business for our initial business combination, we may encounter competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including other special purpose acquisition or blank check companies, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, public companies and operating businesses seeking strategic acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than we do. Our ability to acquire larger target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Furthermore, our obligation to pay cash in connection with our public shareholders who properly exercise their redemption rights may reduce the resources available to us for our initial business combination, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Either of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating an initial business combination.

#### Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements
PCSC has registered its securities under the Exchange Act and has reporting obligations, including the requirement to file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, PCSC's annual reports contain financial statements audited and reported on by PCSC's independent registered public accounting firm.

We are required to evaluate our internal control procedures as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, will we be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting. The fact that we are a blank check company makes compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome on us as compared to other public companies because a target business with which we seek to complete our initial business combination may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of its internal controls. The development of the internal controls of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such business combination.

We have filed a registration statement on Form 8-A with the SEC to voluntarily register our securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. As a result, we are subject to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act. We have no current intention of filing a Form 15 to suspend our reporting or other obligations under the Exchange Act prior or subsequent to the consummation of our initial business combination.

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company. Exempted companies are Cayman Islands companies conducting business mainly outside the Cayman Islands and, as such, are exempted from complying with certain provisions of the Cayman Companies Act. As an exempted company, we received a tax exemption undertaking from the Cayman Islands government that, in accordance with Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, for a period of 20 years from the 28th day of March 2024, no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations will apply to us or our operations and, in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax will be payable (i) on or in respect of our shares, debentures or other obligations or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of a payment of dividend or other distribution of income or capital by us to our shareholders or a payment of principal or interest or other sums due under a debenture or other obligation of us.

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies" including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act reduced

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an "emerging growth company" can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our PCSC Class A Shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

Additionally, we are a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, and (ii) our annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year or the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30.

#### Legal Proceedings
There is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against us or any members of our management team in their capacity as such.

#### RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

#### Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on March 22, 2024 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

PCSC's sponsor is Perceptive Capital Solutions Holdings, a Cayman Islands exempted limited company. The registration statement for the initial public offering was declared effective on June 11, 2024. On June 13, 2024, PCSC consummated its initial public offering of 8,625,000 PCSC Class A Shares, which included the full exercise by the underwriter of the initial public offering of its over-allotment option in the amount of 1,125,000 PCSC Class A Shares, at $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $86,250,000, and incurring offering costs of approximately $4.8 million, inclusive of approximately $3.45 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, PCSC consummated the private placement of 286,250 private placement shares. Which are PCSC Class A Shares, at a price of $10.00 per private placement share in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $2.86 million.

Upon the closing of initial public offering and the private placement, $86.25 million ($10.00 per share) of the net proceeds of the initial public offering and certain of the proceeds from the sale of the private placement were placed in a trust account, located in the U.S. with Continental acting as trustee, including in demand deposit accounts at a bank, or invested only in U.S. "government securities" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a business combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

PCSC's management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the initial public offering and the sale of private placement units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a business combination.

If PCSC has not completed an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the initial public offering, or June 13, 2026 (the "***Business Combination Period***"), PCSC will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 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 earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to PCSC for working capital requirements (subject to an annual limit of $300,000) and / or to pay PCSC's taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of PCSC's remaining shareholders and PCSC's board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to PCSC's obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

PCSC's initial shareholders agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the founder shares and private placement shares held by them if PCSC fails to complete a business combination within the Business Combination Period. However, if PCSC's initial shareholders acquire public shares in or after PCSC's initial public offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares if PCSC fails to complete

a business combination within the Business Combination Period. The underwriter in PCSC's initial public offering has agreed to waive its rights to its deferred underwriting commission, being an aggregate amount of $3,450,000, held in the trust account in the event PCSC does not complete a business combination within the Business Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the trust account that will be available to fund the redemption of the public shares.

See the section entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements*" in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for more information on recent developments and agreements entered into by PCSC in connection with the proposed Business Combination with Freenome.

#### Results of Operations
PCSC has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. PCSC's only activities from March 22, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for its initial public offering, described above, and identifying a target company for a business combination. PCSC does not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its business combination. PCSC generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account. PCSC incurs expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, PCSC had a net income of $837,468, which consists of interest income on cash and investments held in the trust account of $3,821,319, partially offset by unrealized loss on interest earned on cash and marketable securities of $3,298 and operating costs of $2,980,553.

For the period from March 22, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, PCSC had a net income $1,910,392, which consists of interest income on cash and investments held in the trust account of $2,366,001 and an unrealized gain on interest earned on cash and marketable securities of $38,396, partially offset by operating costs of $494,005.

#### Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
On June 13, 2024, PCSC consummated its initial public offering (as further described under "—*Overview*").

For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $864,653. Net income of $837,468 was affected by interest earned on cash and investments held in the trust account of $3,821,319, an unrealized loss on interest earned on cash and investments held in the trust account of $3,298, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2,115,900.

For the period from March 22, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $353,623. Net income of $1,910,392 was affected by interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in the trust account of $2,366,001 and an unrealized gain on interest earned on cash and marketable securities of $38,396, changes in operating assets and liabilities of $95,805 and a payment of operating costs through a promissory note of $44,577.

As of December 31, 2025, PCSC had cash and investments held in the trust account of $91,872,418 (including $5,622,418 of investment income) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. PCSC may withdraw interest earned on the trust account for working capital requirements subject to an annual limit of $300,000, and/or to pay PCSC's taxes (which shall not be subject to the $300,000 annual limitation described in the foregoing). PCSC intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (less income taxes payable), to complete its business combination. To the extent that PCSC's share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete its business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue PCSC's growth strategies

As of December 31, 2025, PCSC had cash of $865,031 and working capital deficit of $1,346,674. PCSC does not believe it has sufficient funds for its working capital needs until a minimum of one year from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, PCSC's sponsor, affiliates of PCSC's sponsor or our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan PCSC funds as may be required. If PCSC completes a business combination, PCSC would repay such loaned

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
amounts. In the event that a business combination does not close, PCSC may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from PCSC's trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $3,000,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into shares of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share.

In accordance with PCSC's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, PCSC has 24 months from the date of its initial public offering, or until June 13, 2026, to consummate the initial business combination. If a business combination is not consummated by the end of the combination period, currently June 13, 2026, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of PCSC. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should PCSC be required to liquidate after the combination period.

In connection with PCSC's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, "Going Concern," as of December 31, 2025, PCSC's management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about PCSC's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. PCSC's management plans to complete the initial business combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date and expects to receive financing from the Sponsor or the affiliates of the Sponsor to meet its obligations through the time of liquidation or the completion of the initial business combination. There is no financing that is currently committed and no assurance that PCSC's plans to consummate the initial business combination will be successful within the business combination period. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

#### Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
PCSC has no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2025. PCSC does not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. PCSC has not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

#### Contractual Obligations; Commitments and Contingencies

#### Administrative Services and Indemnification Agreement
Commencing on the date that PCSC's registration statement relating to its initial public offering was declared effective through the earlier of consummation of an initial business combination and PCSC's liquidation, PCSC agreed (i) to pay the sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to PCSC in the amount of $15,000 per month and (ii) to indemnify the sponsor and its affiliates, including Perceptive Advisors, LLC, from any liability arising with respect to their activities in connection with PCSC's affairs. For the year ended December 31, 2025, PCSC incurred and paid $180,000 in fees for these services. For the period from March 22, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024 PCSC incurred and paid $99,500 in fees for these services.

#### Registration Rights Agreement
PCSC's sponsor, as the holders of the founder shares and private placement shares, including from time to time the private placement shares that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans and any PCSC Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of founder shares, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of June 13, 2024, by and among PCSC, PCSC's sponsor and the shareholders party thereto. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that PCSC register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain "piggyback" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial business combination. PCSC will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

#### Underwriting Agreement
PCSC granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,125,000 additional public shares to cover over-allotments, if any, at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On June 13, 2024, simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, the underwriter elected to fully exercise the over-allotment option to purchase the additional 1,125,000 public shares at a price of $10.00 per public share.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
The underwriter was entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per public share, or $1,725,000 in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the initial public offering. The underwriter agreed to reimburse PCSC at the closing of the initial public offering for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and fees (including for the avoidance of doubt, a portion of the upfront underwriting commissions payable in connection with the closing of the initial public offering) incurred by PCSC in connection with the initial public offering in an amount not to exceed 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the initial public offering. On June 13, 2024, as part of the closing of the initial public offering, PCSC received reimbursement from the underwriter of $862,500.

In addition, the underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.40 per public share, or $3,450,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the trust account solely in the event that PCSC completes a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

#### Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. There are no critical accounting estimates that have been identified during this period.

*Recent Accounting Standards* 

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses", requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the consolidated financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. PCSC is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.

PCSC's management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on PCSC's consolidated financial statements.

#### INFORMATION ABOUT FREENOME
*References in this section to "we", "our", "us", the "Company", or "Freenome" generally refer to Freenome Holdings, Inc.* 

#### Overview
Our mission is to detect cancer and disease at earlier, more treatable stages by making screening easy and accessible. We are an early cancer detection company developing blood-based tests leveraging AI/ML to transform multi-cancer and ultimately multi-disease detection. We founded Freenome with the goal to build an automated, scalable multiomics discovery platform and biologically-informed AI/ML designed to identify the earliest signs of disease. Multiomics technology platforms are a blood-testing approach that combines molecular signatures from both tumors and non-tumor (e.g., immune system) sources to detect cancer. Our common platform is designed to evaluate and integrate multiple analytes (e.g., DNA, RNA and proteins) with differentiated wet lab automation capabilities and high-quality clinical trials to develop accurate tests with the potential to address cancer heterogeneity. The technology backbone of Freenome is underpinned by more than a decade of development and engineering, robust intellectual property, algorithms and more than $1 billion of invested capital raised from a diverse and deep investor base including leading strategic franchises across pharma, healthcare, biotech and technology. We are pursuing multi-product commercialization supported by a robust data moat that we believe supports rapid test development ("up-versioning") and the potential for sustainable clinical performance advantages. We believe our partnerships with Exact Sciences and Roche will expand our dataset, expand our potential commercial reach, bolster our research and development efforts, and ultimately advance our aim to develop an early detection platform that can be tailored to a patient's individual risk profile.

The following graphic presents illustrative estimated U.S. screening-eligible patient populations:

![](ny20061080x8_graphicb1.jpg)

The figures in this graphic represent illustrative estimated U.S. screening-eligible patient populations, not dollar amounts. The figures are based on publicly available screening guidelines, epidemiology and literature regarding at-risk populations, together with management estimates regarding overlap between CRC screening eligibility and eligibility for certain additional cancer screening indications. These populations are not necessarily mutually exclusive and should not be summed as distinct, unique individuals. Freenome has not received regulatory approval for, and does not have a commercial product for, the non-CRC screening indications depicted. We believe today's cancer screening paradigm is structurally fragmented, creating inefficiencies for patients, providers, and payers that are increasingly incompatible with population-scale preventative care. Current testing modalities (e.g., colonoscopy/stool-based tests, mammography, magnetic resonance imaging ("***MRI***"), low-dose computed tomography ("***CT***")) are fragmented or non-existent across cancer types, which creates a burden to patients and healthcare organizations, especially in cases when multiple cancer screenings are required. This fragmentation leads to disjointed patient journeys and follow-up across various clinicians/specialists, often delaying diagnosis and treatment initiation, which in turn correlates to increased healthcare system costs (e.g., elevated hospital readmission rates), treatment delays, and suboptimal health outcomes for patients with cancer and other diseases. As a result, despite annual cancer-screening costs in the U.S. of approximately $40 billion for common cancers (e.g., colorectal, breast, lung) and implementation in medical guidelines, unscreened rates remain relatively high for most cancers due to lack of patient awareness and avoidance of inconvenient procedures, while health systems are challenged to efficiently identify and notify patients that need screening. Every day, cancer claims more than 1,600 lives in the U.S. alone. Only approximately 14% of cancers are

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
detected by screening and roughly half of all cancers are not detected until an advanced stage. Early detection has been demonstrated to lead to better outcomes and more treatment options. For example, there is an approximately 90% five year survival rate for certain common cancers when caught early. Early disease detection enables intervention and even prevention, both of which are critical to improve outcomes in cancer treatment, with other age-related diseases likely following a similar paradigm as treatments improve. We believe that the market will evolve from single test ordering to multiple cancer tests being ordered at once based on a patient's personal cancer risk profile.

We believe that cancers with broad and widely adopted screening criteria that have a clear path to insurance coverage and reimbursement to reach more people are the gateway to near-term clinical impact while building the population-level dataset needed to optimize early cancer detection test performance and expand into new disease areas.

We are initially focused on validating our assay in CRC as it is the only population-level screening indication today with an established path to coverage and reimbursement while positioning us to potentially deploy Freenome's unified assay, automation, and informatics infrastructure across future cancer indications with overlapping screening populations. CRC represents the world's second deadliest cancer despite being one of the most curable and preventable. Despite multiple invasive and non-invasive options, the lack of patient adherence to testing is impacting the ability to reduce the burden of CRC, with approximately 40-50 million people remaining unscreened today. Our blood-based SimpleScreen CRC v1 test is supported by the largest prospective study of its kind, PREEMPT CRC, which met all primary endpoints and is designed to meet FDA requirements for a first-line label for the detection of CRC. We are also developing a SimpleScreen CRC v2 which represents a comprehensive upgrade to the assay and AI/ML learning algorithm components and has demonstrated improved detection performance for advanced adenoma ("***AA***") and CRC in data recently presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium ("***ASCO GI Conference***"). We believe CRC represents a foundational anchor with the potential to accelerate the long-term path to a personalized multi-cancer detection ("***PCD***") test offering. Increasingly, many other cancers have existing or recent evidence and guideline support for early detection or surveillance (e.g., lung, breast, cervical, liver, pancreatic, esophageal, and others) and overlap with the CRC screening population. We are leveraging this approach to develop a common platform (one assay, with single-cancer and multi-cancer classifiers) which we envision will include a broad testing menu where physicians and individuals can select tests based on their health profile, risk levels and latest guidelines.

As our tests receive regulatory approval, and commercial volumes and data scale, we foresee a compelling opportunity to leverage our proprietary deep learning ("***DL***") approaches such as our fragment-level-deep learning ("***FLDL***") model to optimize diagnostic accuracy for numerous cancer-specific and multi-cancer classifiers. We also believe this will provide us with broader potential to uncover new biological signals and incorporate longitudinal changes as people are tested throughout time and we continue to up-version tests in a rapid fashion. While up-versioning of tests is standard industry practice and is being implemented by several peers, we believe our approach is highly differentiated in terms of speed, comprehensiveness and potential performance advantages. Our approach has the potential to condense the FDA-grade test versioning roadmap process relative to many historical precedent launches, to potentially drive faster development and go-to-market time. In addition, we have incorporated real-world-data ("***RWD***") tokenization, which is a method of encoding patient data into anonymized digital identifiers, to follow consented patients longitudinally and monitor for incidental findings of other cancer types. We believe we are well-positioned to solve an immediate unmet need in CRC. By creating a flywheel of population-level multimodal molecular and clinical data needed to leverage the same underlying platform, we have the potential to validate new tests and offer future tests with disease-specific classifiers (machine and deep learning) personalized to an individual's health status, risk factors, and guideline recommendations.

#### Our Strengths and Competitive Differentiation
To achieve our mission to detect cancer and disease at earlier, more treatable stages while making screening easy and accessible, we plan to leverage the following key strengths and drivers of competitive differentiation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Proprietary technology platform underpinned by a novel assay, high-quality and rigorous scientific approach, scalable automation capabilities and world-class expertise across multiomics, AI/ML and DL**. We fundamentally believe a "one size fits all" technological approach is insufficient to detect every cancer across stages and subtypes. Our platform is supported by a proprietary non-bisulfite, base level epigenetic assay technology, specialized molecular testing used to analyze chemical modifications to DNA, a rigorous sample collection and trial design approach, differentiated wet lab/automation capabilities and a

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
cross-functional and interdisciplinary team. Our platform is designed to deliver sustainable performance advantages, a growing data moat and rapid test up-versioning, and is underpinned by a proprietary DL model that we believe could drive innovation velocity and a powerful data flywheel effect as testing volumes scale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Flexible multi-cancer detection platform designed to enable cancer specific accuracy optimization to support a personalized test offering tailored to each individual's risk profile, targeting a collective approximately $50 billion market opportunity**. We are prioritizing the development of single cancer early detection tests based on reimbursement pathway potential and clinical guidelines starting with CRC. As the market evolves to multi-cancer test ordering, we believe clinicians, patients and payers will continue to stress diagnostic yield performance for those cancers in which a patient is at increased risk. Our common platform is designed to offer single cancer tests or risk-based panels all within a similar cost structure. Our cancer screening strategy is focused on addressing today's expensive, burdensome and highly fragmented screening paradigm that is limiting adoption. We estimate that our collective U.S. market opportunity across CRC screening and certain additional cancer screening indications under evaluation is approximately $50 billion. This estimate is an internal market-sizing exercise intended to illustrate the potential aggregate market size and is not a projection of future revenue. It was derived using estimates of relevant U.S. screening-eligible population of 120 million for colorectal cancer and its overlap with those eligible for other cancer indications based on publicly available screening guidelines, U.S. population estimates, and Medicare and private insurance coverage estimates, combined with assumed per test pricing similar to the $592 rate proposed under the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act taking effect as soon as 2028. These estimates involve significant judgment and uncertainty, including with respect to the size of overlapping eligible populations, future pricing, reimbursement, physician and patient adoption, and timing of regulatory approval and commercialization. We have not received regulatory approval for, and do not currently have commercial products for, the additional cancer screening indications described in this section, and there can be no assurance that any such product candidates will be successfully developed, approved or commercialized.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **SimpleScreen CRC test is designed to deliver high sensitivity at the earliest and most treatable stages of disease to serve as a foundation for establishing a broader multi-cancer testing platform**. Test development and performance is supported by the PREEMPT study, a prospective multi-center observational study with approximately 48 thousand patients enrolled and approximately 27 thousand evaluated. SimpleScreen CRC v1 is designed to meet FDA requirements for a first-line label for CRC screening. In addition, we are working on a comprehensive upgrade of v1 across the assay, including optimizing key aspects of the reagents such as increasing the ability to detect cell free DNA ("  ***cfDNA***") molecules, increasing workflow automation to approximately 95% full automation and algorithm in v2, which has demonstrated improved detection rates and overall performance in recent studies that we anticipate will enable us to develop a potentially best-in-class blood-based CRC test over time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Differentiated and capital efficient commercialization strategy, supported by a partnership with Exact Sciences, has the potential to meaningfully accelerate market adoption and brand recognition**. We announced an exclusive U.S. license agreement with Exact Sciences to commercialize our blood-based CRC test. Exact Sciences is the leader in stool-based CRC testing with a significant commercial infrastructure and large, leading base of screening revenues of volumes. This strategic partnership is designed to drive accelerated market adoption through Exact Sciences' well-established commercial infrastructure as SimpleScreen provides a new blood-based offering to complement Exact Sciences' stool-based offering and reach the approximately 40-50 million people who remain unscreened for CRC in the U.S. alone. Importantly, we retain full rights for CRC blood testing when tests are ordered in combination with additional cancer screening tests, including for lung and more than ten other initial cancer indications the company is pursuing. We believe Exact Sciences' substantial commercial footprint will accelerate and drive the scaling of testing volumes for multi-cancer indications over time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Promising global reach and product pipeline depth, supported by expanded strategic collaboration with Roche**. We announced an exclusive license and option agreement with Roche to develop and commercialize an ex-U.S. kitted (de-centralized) version of our personalized multi-cancer early detection ("  ***MCED***") test on the Roche sequencing by expansion ("  ***SBX***") platform. We will retain key rights to all U.S. kitted tests and U.S. and ex-U.S. centralized testing, and importantly have access to multi-cancer kit data, if available with proper consents and in accordance with applicable laws.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Targeting leading healthcare systems and payers to drive deep integration across the ecosystem and infrastructure, which will support commercial launch across tests and create a sustainable, data-driven competitive moat**. Highly scalable, modular AI infrastructure and strategy to be leveraged with health systems for future algorithm training and indication expansion pairs Freenome's AI-enabled learning engine with RWD and informatics for bi-directional data exchange with leading healthcare organizations. Our platform is also designed for scalability and seamless integration into existing healthcare workflows, to facilitate strategic partnering and potentially increase test adoption.

#### Our Platform Technology and Approach
Foundational to our scientific approach is the view that, due to the intrinsic heterogeneity of the disease, no single technology can detect every cancer. Different cancers have different signatures that present in different quantities and biomarkers in the blood. While circulating tumor DNA ("***ctDNA***") (fragmented DNA released by tumor cells into the bloodstream) is foundational to our platform, we believe multiomics are required to reach clinically meaningful performance levels across various cancer types, including those with low ctDNA shedding rates (e.g., prostate) and high rates (e.g., pancreatic) — optimizing sensitivity or specificity on an indication-by-indication basis.

![](ny20061080x8_graphicb2.jpg)

Illustrative comparison of detection sensitivity across cancers with differing circulating tumor DNA shedding characteristics. Values shown are conceptual examples and do not represent clinical performance of any Freenome product candidate. Tumor DNA shedding rates may vary significantly across cancer types and disease stages, and cancers with lower circulating tumor DNA levels may require additional biological signals beyond ctDNA alone to achieve clinically meaningful detection performance.

The figure above illustrates conceptual examples of tumor DNA shedding characteristics observed in certain cancers and the potential value of multiomics approaches in improving detection sensitivity across cancers with varying biological signal characteristics. Our multiomics discovery platform is designed to integrate a multitude of analytes such as DNA, RNA and proteins, and we have developed and integrated multiple methods to empirically profile each cancer or disease of interest. After the discovery process, a smaller set of these analytes are selected for translation into targeted assays for high-throughput clinical testing. For many of the technologies, automation was implemented early in the discovery process to increase the consistency and reproducibility of the resulting data for test design, and ultimately, to allow for automated work cells to be built for commercial testing. In addition, we evaluate the potential additive nature of external emerging technologies leveraging our prospectively collected samples for clinical performance improvements, cost effectiveness, and other key attributes to assess incorporation into Freenome workflows.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
![](ny20061080x8_graphicb3.jpg)

The diagram above illustrates our proprietary multiomics platform architecture and development framework. The platform integrates molecular data generated from blood samples with machine learning models designed to detect tumor-derived and non-tumor-associated biological signals across multiple molecular modalities, including DNA, RNA, proteins, and other analytes.

The AI/ML learning engine uses a combination of computational biology, ML, and DL to integrate the molecular output to create AI/ML classification models optimizing for sensitivity and specificity for cancer detection. As clinical tests start to enable additional RWD, the AI/ML learning engine is designed to rapidly iterate with test versions to improve the sensitivity and specificity of the test to fuel test improvements and validate new tests. As test volumes scale, we believe the resulting longitudinal, multimodal dataset will become a competitive asset that supports classifier refinement, potential new indication development, and a patient network effect from serial testing as people are screened multiple times. The platform is designed to support iterative algorithm development and validation as additional molecular and clinical datasets become available, enabling the development of multiple cancer detection assays leveraging a shared data and machine learning infrastructure.

![](ny20061080x8_graphicb4.jpg)

The diagram above illustrates conceptual representations of our multiomics platform and machine learning infrastructure used in the development of its cancer detection assays. The term "serial testing" refers to cancer screening tests that may be performed repeatedly over time in accordance with clinical screening guidelines or coverage policies.

We have a proprietary next-generation sequencing methylation technology that is a non-bisulfite, base-level epigenetic assay. Methylation is a sensitive assay method used in testing that detects methyl groups attached to DNA to identify tissue of origin cancers. Our workflow for methylation and other epigenetic biomarkers provides high

resolution multimodal digital outputs at a base-level, enabling capture of subtle biological changes important for early-stage lesions, core to any personalized multi-cancer detection indications that shed cfDNA. Certain cancer screening tests may be performed on a recurring basis as part of routine clinical screening programs. For example, CRC screening and other cancer screening modalities may be performed periodically over time in accordance with clinical screening guidelines or coverage policies. As a result, repeat testing may generate longitudinal molecular datasets from similar patient populations over time. The platform is designed to support iterative algorithm development and validation as additional molecular and clinical datasets become available. As testing volumes increase, including through clinical studies and pre-commercial testing programs, these datasets may contribute to the continued refinement of machine learning models used in the development of future test versions.

We also have a proprietary and differentiated protein and autoantibody technology, encompassing targets and capabilities for various cancer indications. Autoantibodies are immune system generated proteins produced in response to the body's own molecules, which can serve as early indicators of disease. The protein assays were developed in-house and autoantibodies were incorporated through the 2023 acquisition of Oncimmune Ltd, a global immunodiagnostics developer providing the broader multiomics infrastructure with additional non-tumor-derived signals to capture a more comprehensive view of the tumor microenvironment.

Key to our AI/ML capabilities are both the proprietary models and the software that enables versioned and deployed classifiers under controlled workflows designed to support traceability, performance monitoring, and regulatory review. One example includes our ongoing DL research and proprietary FLDL model architecture that takes advantage of each of the base-level nucleotide features (i.e. the individual chemical units–adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine–that compose DNA) to learn fragment embedding through neural networks; then, a specialized attention mechanism uses cancer-indicative fragments to generate a sample embedding to predict cancer status. In the future, as we move into other cancer types and if we can obtain large sets of clinical metadata, this will enable optimization of the diagnostic accuracy by cancer type. Similarly, as test volumes scale, we believe the data flywheel effect of the platform will lead to new signals and improved test versioning. The diagram below illustrates a conceptual representation of our proprietary FLDL model architecture used in the development of its multiomics cancer detection algorithms.

The diagram above illustrates a conceptual representation of our FLDL architecture and is intended to provide an overview of the analytical framework used in the development of its cancer detection algorithms.

In addition, we are in the early stages of developing AI infrastructure in house that we would plan to activate with health systems for future algorithm training and indication expansion. This forms a three-way partnership strategy focused around providing the AI-enabled learning engine with molecular data from blood-based tests such as CRC/AA and others, if approved, as well as available real-world data and informatics. Although we do not yet have any partnerships with health systems, we plan to start real-world data collection with health systems in 2026. The vendors will support integration into healthcare ecosystems for bi-directional data exchange, secure cloud-computing

environments and relationships with healthcare organizations. Health systems have the opportunity to provide electronic health records, electronic medical records and claims data as available and agreed upon. We believe this structure will fuel the AI-enabled learning engine to improve existing tests, as well as enable the creation of new tests.

The infrastructure illustrated above represents a conceptual architecture for our data and algorithm development processes.

#### Our Product Portfolio and Pipeline

#### SimpleScreen v1 — Blood-Based Screening Test for CRC Screening
Complementing existing screening paradigms, our blood-based SimpleScreen CRC initial version test is focused on a large, reimbursed market and supported by the largest prospective study of its kind, PREEMPT CRC. The study, sponsored by us, met all primary endpoints (sensitivity for CRC (sensitivity, 79.2%; 95% CI, 68.4%-86.9%; P = .006), specificity for advanced colorectal neoplasia ("***ACN***") was 91.5% (22 306/24 371; 95% CI, 91.2%-91.9%; P<.001), negative predictive value for ACN at 90.8% (22 306/24 567; 95% CI, 90.7%-90.9%; P<.001), and positive predictive value for ACN was 15.5% (378/2443; 95% CI, 14.2%-16.8%; P<.001), with a topline readout released in April 2024. It was designed to meet FDA requirements for a first-line label. PREEMPT CRC was conducted across 201 sites in the U.S. and United Arab Emirates, enrolled approximately 48 thousand participants, evaluated approximately 27 thousand participants aged 45 to 85 years at average risk of colorectal cancer, and collected up to approximately five years of data on certain subjects. A total of 34,224 tests were conducted as part of PREEMPT CRC. It was funded and constructed with an aim to lay the groundwork for our platform's underlying learning engine, to drive the development of future tests for other cancers and diseases well beyond CRC.

In the intended use population, v1 achieved AA sensitivity of 14% and an overall CRC sensitivity of 81% at 90% specificity. Importantly, v1 achieved a sensitivity of 31% in high-grade dysplasia lesions and 64% sensitivity for Stage I cancers. There were no reported serious adverse events. We have completed a PMA submission to the FDA for v1 in the third quarter of 2025, and expect FDA action on the PMA in 2026, following which, if approved, we intend to commercialize v1 in the second half of 2026. If approved, it has the potential to serve as the foundation for developing a personalized multi-cancer detection platform across more than 10 indications.

#### SimpleScreen v2 — Comprehensive Upgrade of v1 to Drive Potentially Best-In-Class Performance Amongst Blood-Based CRC Screening Tests
We are developing a second version of SimpleScreen CRC with improved assay and algorithm components designed to increase its signal-to-noise ratio by optimizing key aspects of the reagents, improving the ability to detect tumor cfDNA, and increasing workflow automation of the methylated cfDNA detection platform to approximately 95%. Together, these improvements more than triple the number of distinct cfDNA molecules, thereby increasing test sensitivity.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
The following tables and figures in this section summarize selected analytical workflow metrics used during assay development, and unless otherwise stated, reflect internal development and bridging studies. These metrics are not clinical performance claims and may not be predictive of future results.

![](ny20061080x8_graphicb7.jpg)

Mean Target Coverage ("***MTC***") is a sequencing-based metric reflecting the average depth of usable sequencing reads across the assay's targeted genomic regions (after accounting for duplicate reads). We monitor MTC because it is a key indicator of molecular recovery and data quality for our assay workflow. We also performed internal studies and simulations to evaluate the optimal MTC target for v2 of our assay to potentially improve the clinical activity of v2 for detecting APL and CRC. We identified that the >2,000 MTC was our metric target to enhance clinical performance and we achieved this target in support of v2 feasibility studies including the data presented at ASCO GI Conference in January 2026.

We sponsored and conducted a large case control validation study of nearly one thousand samples with an objective to compare performance between v1 and v2, in data presented at the ASCO GI Conference in January 2026. The test's previously trained and locked AI/ML classification model was used for both tests and applied to paired data from independent clinical samples. We additionally compared limit-of-detection and limit-of-blank performance between test versions. Clinical test performance was assessed using both the updated and previous tests in an average risk cohort. To reflect the intended-use population, sensitivity was adjusted for age and sex using distributions from the U.S. Census and for CRC stage, advanced precancerous lesion ("***APL***") subtype, and APL lesion size using distributions from the PREEMPT CRC study. Adjusted specificity was set to 90% for each version to enable direct comparison. The updated CRC test detected 85% of CRC cases and 22% of APLs, indicating increased clinical sensitivity relative to performance in the PREEMPT CRC study. In a performance evaluation study, the original test (v1) and the updated version (v2) were compared head-to-head. A total of approximately 1,300 tests of each of v1 and v2 were conducted during the fourth quarter of 2024 in Brisbane, California by evaluating all study subjects with both versions, controlling for biological variation and cohort effects. For both CRC and APL, the clinical sensitivity point estimates at 90% specificity increased by 1.7 percentage points and 5.4 percentage points, respectively, which suggests that the improvements made to the underlying platform lead to improvements in clinical performance.

Additional improvements in the updated test included increased sensitivity of 44% for APLs with high-grade dysplasia, a 2.6-fold reduction in the limit of detection, and meaningful improvements in projected patient outcomes (9% reduction in lifetime CRC cases and 10% reduction in CRC deaths). Other than the v2 tests conducted in the development studies, no other v2 tests have been conducted, but v2 will continue to be evaluated in analytical and clinical validation studies. We anticipate the associated data from a larger, independent clinical validation study will be submitted to the FDA as part of a panel-track PMA supplement, which we expect to submit in the second half of 2026.

#### CRC Market Overview
CRC is the second most common cause of cancer deaths and accounts for over 150 thousand new cases annually, according to the American Cancer Society. There is also an established framework to coverage and reimbursement for diagnostics, including blood-based tests covering most individuals 45 years of age and older, under current USPSTF and other clinical guidelines. CRC outcomes are highly stage dependent, with five year survival exceeding 90% when

detected early, compared to approximately 15% for metastatic disease. Detection and removal of precancerous adenomas substantially reduce CRC incidence and mortality.

#### Lung v1 — Blood Based Test for the Early Detection of Lung Cancer
We are developing a blood-based lung cancer screening test intended for individuals at elevated risk, including current and former smokers who meet guideline-based eligibility criteria. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the U.S., yet reported nationwide adherence to guideline-recommended lung cancer screening using low-dose computed tomography ("***LDCT***") remains low, with estimates near 10-15% of eligible individuals completing screening.

In contrast, observational evidence from a large cohort study indicates that individuals with significant tobacco exposure show relatively high participation in CRC screening programs. For example, a study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association found that a majority of individuals in the smoking population participate in CRC screening when it is offered as part of routine preventive care, even though they underutilize lung cancer screening. Freenome believes this suggests a CRC-anchored blood test that includes lung cancer screening as part of a PCD panel could materially increase upfront lung cancer screening uptake relative to standalone LDCT programs.

![](ny20061080x8_graphicb9.jpg)

Lung cancer presents distinct biological challenges for blood-based detection, particularly in early-stage disease and in lung adenocarcinoma, which often sheds less circulating tumor DNA. Our lung test leverages its multiomics platform, integrating epigenetic (chemical modifications that regulate gene activity) (including methylation) and proteomic (protein) signals with machine learning-based classifiers optimized for lung cancer biology. Our lung cancer program achieved key analytical and clinical performance milestones based on a readout from the PCD Vallania Study. In prospectively collected case-control samples including negative individuals who represent the high-risk population, our multiomics lung test indicated approximately 80% sensitivity at 75% specificity outperforming any of the singleomic assays that focus on one data type. The PCD Vallania Study was sponsored by us and conducted at 68 locations in the U.S. and enrolled a total of 7,435 participants, all over the age of 30. Initial development data for our investigational lung cancer screening test showed an adjusted sensitivity of 90.7% at 50% specificity and 80.4% at 75% specificity for detecting lung cancer. The multiomic approach outperformed a methylation-only version of the test, which showed adjusted sensitivities of 85.8% and 78.2% at the same specificity thresholds.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
![](ny20061080x8_graphicb10.jpg)

We plan to introduce the lung cancer test as a laboratory developed test ("***LDT***") in the second half of 2026. The lung LDT is designed to enable early clinical adoption, if approved, generate real-world evidence alongside health system partners, and inform the subsequent IVD development pathway using the same underlying platform. We plan to leverage the future health system partnerships, EMR integrations, and CRC commercial infrastructure to surface individuals eligible for lung or CRC and lung cancer screening.

We initiated and sponsored the PROACT Lung clinical study, a prospective, event-driven study designed to evaluate the performance of its lung cancer test in the high-risk population. We are currently enrolling participants at 36 active locations across the U.S., with approximately 8,000 participants, all over the age of 50, enrolled to date. Data from PROACT Lung, along with data from additional analytical and clinical validation studies, are intended to support the submission of a PMA for the lung test as an IVD and the associated readouts will inform us on when to submit the PMA. The lung IVD program will leverage the same underlying assay architecture and computational framework used for the lung LDT, with lung-specific classifiers and expanded multiomics features refined based on earlier readouts.

#### Lung Cancer Market Overview
Lung cancer represents the leading cause of cancer deaths in Americans, with over 215 thousand new cases yearly according to the American Cancer Society. Between 14 and 15 million Americans over 50 years of age who are current smokers, have quit within the last 15 years, or have a 20 pack per year smoking history are considered high risk for lung cancer and are eligible for annual screening per guidelines, however screening rates remain low at 10-15% within the high-risk population. Early detection is crucial in lung cancer, with a 65% survival rate for localized lung cancer, but only 10% once it has metastasized.

#### PCD Overview
We are developing a portfolio of PCD tests designed to detect cancer earlier by integrating single-omic or multiomic signals tuned to specific populations with clinically relevant risk factors. Our approach prioritizes cancer-specific and risk-based populations in which earlier detection can be evaluated against existing clinical pathways, guidelines and where screening or surveillance needs remain unmet.

The PCD roadmap is anchored by CRC which represents the largest established population-level cancer screening market in the U.S. and serves as the foundation for our platform development strategy. Importantly, CRC screening eligibility overlaps with many higher-risk populations for other solid tumors, including lung, liver, pancreas, gastric, esophageal, and more. As a result, a significant portion of patients eligible for CRC screening may simultaneously qualify for additional cancer testing based on clinical risk factors such as smoking history, gastroesophageal reflux disease ("***GERD***"), chronic liver disease, viral hepatitis, family history, obesity, genetic predisposition, and many other aspects of an individual's health profile.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Our PCD programs are designed to leverage this overlapping eligibility by enabling multiple cancer indications to be assessed from a single blood draw using a common assay and computational infrastructure. We believe this approach supports efficient expansion across indications while minimizing incremental development complexity.

Our discovery and development efforts are supported by ongoing refinement of our Cancer Signal Origin ("***CSO***") algorithms, which are intended to improve localization accuracy and enable reuse of existing assays and data across additional cancer indications. This scalable, modular architecture is designed to allow us to iteratively expand our PCD portfolio without always requiring the development of entirely new assay platforms for each indication depending on the clinical performance requirements.

The diagrams below illustrate our current development and preliminary discovery strategy for expanding our personalized multi-cancer detection platform across multiple cancer indications. Our approach is anchored in population-level CRC screening and expands to additional cancer indications based on overlapping patient risk populations and the availability of supporting molecular and clinical datasets.

![](ny20061080x8_graphicb11.jpg)

Development timelines and pipeline indications shown above represent our current development plans and expectations and are subject to change. None of the products and indications described in these diagrams have received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Any commercialization of such tests in the United States would require regulatory authorization for the applicable indication.

#### Platform and Market Access Optionality for Average-Risk MCED
In addition to risk-enriched PCD programs, our platform is designed to support the potential future development of an average-risk MCED test as clinical evidence, regulatory standards, and reimbursement pathways evolve, over time.

Our multiomic architecture and CSO algorithms are modular and extensible. Ongoing refinement of CSO classification and signal attribution is intended to enable broader application of existing assays across differing risk strata. We believe that, if supported by sufficient clinical evidence and regulatory and payer acceptance, an average-risk

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
MCED could be enabled primarily through algorithmic refinement of the CSO framework rather than through the introduction of a new assay platform. This flexibility reflects our focus on maintaining a single, extensible platform capable of supporting both personalized, risk-based testing and broader population applications over time. In turn with the development of indication-specific, risk-enriched PCD tests, our platform is designed to support the potential future launch of an average-risk MCED test, based on developments pertaining to clinical evidence, the regulatory environment/frameworks, and reimbursement dynamics.

Under this framework, we envision a tiered portfolio consisting of (1) indication-specific PCD tests tailored to defined higher-risk populations and existing care pathways, and (2) a potential average-risk MCED offering, subject to future evidence development, regulatory pathways, coverage and reimbursement, and clinical guidelines.

We believe maintaining this flexibility is strategically important given ongoing clinical trials, policy discussions, and legislative initiatives related to average-risk MCED.

#### Additional Opportunities (Molecular Residual Disease, Monitoring, and Early Intervention Collaborations with Biopharma)
As treatments continue to advance towards intervening at earlier stages of cancer there are opportunities to utilize our platform down the care continuum to help guide and monitor disease. We have leveraged our multiomics AI/ML technology platform beyond screening and collaborated with companies such as Genentech, Gilead, Novartis, ADC Therapeutics, and others to explore additional applications. One example includes molecular residual disease ("***MRD***"), also referred to as minimal or measurable residual disease, where the identification of rare cancer-derived signatures can guide decision-making with respect to post-operative chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy. The most pervasive MRD methods on the market require upfront tissue sequencing and a blood-only, tumor naïve ctDNA assay could reduce process complexity and enable much faster turnaround times for clinical decision making. Given the LoD and clinical performance of Frenome's methylation assay, we are actively evaluating the same technology in the MRD setting.

In addition, we have assessed the ability of our platform to further segment the population through our fragmentomic features (patterns derived from the size, distribution, and en-point characteristics of cell-free DNA fragments in the blood) to characterize the probabilities of different gene transcripts, enabling differentiation of responders and nonresponders to different therapeutics. Furthermore, we have shown that a combined multiomics approach including genomics, methylation, autoantibodies, and proteomics provides better resolution and biological interpretability of prognostic indicators of disease than a single analyte approach alone during the biomarker discovery phase.

#### Our Strategy
We intend to deploy a multi-staged commercialization strategy designed to accelerate the adoption of our multiomics platform for early cancer detection across multiple cancer indications beginning with CRC, which CRC test sales in the U.S. will begin only once approved by the FDA, and lung cancer screening and expanding to additional indications within the second half of 2026, if approved. Harmonizing these screenings into a single draw, single provider engagement and single patient experience, we believe, will improve screening rates, simplify care team workflow and reduce patient compliance challenges that limit uptake of important screening in today's paradigm. Further, each additional indication has the potential to expand the addressable market and adds incremental gross margin per test ordered, while establishing a single physician call point for the entire Freenome pipeline and creating operating leverage without proportional increases in fixed cost. Finally, we intend to augment the value we add to each patient interaction by offering digital solutions and care navigation to provide a holistic solution to optimize existing and new cancer detection pathways.

Our approach leverages a combination of direct health system engagement, deep technical integration, strategic commercial partnerships, and a targeted physician sales organization to maximize market penetration across diverse provider segments, patient populations and geographies.

#### Staged Market Approach: Health System Focus
Following approval, our initial commercial efforts will prioritize a centralized approach targeting health systems. Given that greater than 75% of primary care providers are currently employed by health systems or other corporate entities, this top-down strategy will allow us to efficiently engage large groups of providers by directing sales efforts toward health system leadership.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Complementing this health system-centric approach, we also plan to develop and deploy a more traditional physician sales team to activate providers in targeted health systems and engage additional providers.

#### Strategic Partnership with Exact Sciences
To accelerate blood-based test adoption and our reach into the primary care market, we will leverage our announced strategic partnership with Exact Sciences. This collaboration enables Freenome to partner with Exact Sciences to expand screening to Exact Sciences' extensive commercial infrastructure, which includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reach to over 260,000 providers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• relationships with hundreds of health systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• EHR integrations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a commercial organization of over 1,400 personnel; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• database of millions of people who have not completed stool-based testing.

#### Market Definition and Opportunity
Our sales and marketing organization will be focused on defining and developing the broader multi-cancer market. We view this as a significant opportunity to serve patients who meet screening criteria for multiple cancers as illustrated by the graphic below. These overlap populations illustrate our view of potential opportunities for our products, if approved, where bundled or risk-based multi-cancer screening may emerge over time.

![](ny20061080x8_graphicb12.jpg)

The figures in this graphic represent illustrative estimated U.S. screening-eligible patient populations, not dollar amounts. The figures are based on publicly available screening guidelines, epidemiology and literature regarding at-risk populations, together with management estimates regarding overlap between CRC screening eligibility and eligibility for certain additional cancer screening indications. These populations are not necessarily mutually exclusive and should not be summed as distinct, unique individuals. Freenome has not received regulatory approval for, and does not have a commercial product for, the non-CRC screening indications depicted.

While Exact Sciences will drive expansion of the CRC-only blood offering, we retain the rights for our CRC blood test when it is ordered in combination with additional cancer screening tests in patients that meet criteria, including for lung and more than 10 other initial cancer indications the company is pursuing. We believe there is significant synergy in this approach as both efforts are aimed at increasing the reach of blood-based screening while expanding the brand awareness and future access to Freenome's entire pipeline.

Our initial PCD Early Access Program focus will be the approximately 15 million patients who are eligible for both CRC and lung cancer screening, or lung cancer screening alone if they are up-to-date on CRC. As of March 11, 2026, we have received 55 patient specimens in the Early Access Program. Shortly after as we launch additional cancer tests

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
(e.g. esophageal, liver, pancreatic, etc.) in our development pipeline the collective population of patients with eligibility overlap with CRC and other indications will expand. For example, in addition to lung cancer, smoking is also a risk factor for esophageal cancer resulting in significant overlap in the patient population eligible for both lung cancer and esophageal cancer screening.

We believe harmonizing screening for multiple indications with existing screening programs and additional cancers that do not have robust existing screening efforts will allow for more comprehensive coverage of an individual's risk and expand the market for patients who are eligible for our tests. Our ability to run comprehensive screening for a wide variety of cancers on a common platform combined with our commercial health system/partnership ecosystem strategy should result in gross and operating margin leverage that enables flexibility and ultimately cost structure advantages. We believe this approach is a strong differentiator compared to companies with a single or only a few cancer indication offerings.

#### Centralized and Decentralized Global Networks
Concurrently, we plan to pursue direct relationships with centralized testing facilities to establish test distribution networks globally. This centralized approach complements the Roche partnership by allowing us to maintain direct oversight of high-volume processing hubs while the decentralized model expands local access.

#### Key Collaborations

#### Exact Collaboration and License Agreement
In August 2025, Freenome entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the "***Exact Collaboration and License Agreement***") with Exact Sciences Corporation ("Exact Sciences"). Pursuant to the Exact Collaboration and License Agreement, Freenome granted Exact Sciences (a) a non-exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty-free, sublicensable (subject to certain restrictions) license under certain of Freenome's intellectual property rights to develop in accordance with the development plan certain in vitro, blood-based products or services for diagnosis, screening or evaluation of CRC or colorectal pre-cancer (excluding certain multi-cancer tests) (each a "***Collaboration Product***") for all uses and purposes, excluding the diagnosis, screening or evaluation of measurable residual disease (the "Field"), (b) a co-exclusive, royalty-bearing, sublicensable (subject to certain restrictions) license under certain of Freenome's intellectual property rights to commercialize Collaboration Products that are laboratory developed tests until the later of (i) the date of approval by the FDA of a premarket approval application for a class III medical device for CRC or colorectal pre-cancer that meets certain requirements for the first Collaboration Product and (ii) antitrust clearance, which occurred on November 7, 2025 (the "***Exclusive License Effective Date***") and (c) on the Exclusive License Effective Date, an exclusive, royalty-bearing, sublicensable (subject to certain restrictions) license under certain of Freenome's intellectual property rights to commercialize Collaboration Products in the Field in the U.S. In addition, Freenome granted Exact Sciences a non-exclusive, worldwide license to manufacture Collaboration Products for purposes of developing and commercializing Collaboration Products as expressly permitted above. Collaboration Products exclude certain future CRC products for which Exact Sciences is granted a certain right of first negotiation in the U.S.

In consideration of the rights granted to Exact Sciences, Exact Sciences agreed to pay Freenome an upfront payment in the amount of $75 million (the total amount received to date), certain development milestone payments in the aggregate amount of up to $700 million, certain laboratory service fees for laboratory tests performed by Freenome on behalf of Exact Sciences, and royalty payments of up to 10% of Net Sales (as defined in the Exact Collaboration and License Agreement), which are subject to FDA approvals being obtained for SimpleScreen CRC, during the royalty term if a mutually agreed gross margin threshold is reached. In addition, Exact Sciences agreed to fund up to $20 million of mutually agreed development costs per year over a three-year period.

In connection with the Exact Collaboration and License Agreement, Freenome issued and sold to Exact Sciences a convertible note with an aggregate principal amount of $50 million at an interest rate of 5% per annum, as described in the section entitled "*Description of New Freenome Securities—Outstanding Exact Sciences Convertible Note*."

Unless terminated, the Exact Collaboration and License Agreement will continue on a Collaboration Product-by-Collaboration Product basis until the expiration of the royalty term applicable to the Collaboration Product. Either party may terminate the Exact Collaboration and License Agreement for the other party's uncured material breach. In

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
addition, each party may terminate the Exact Collaboration and License Agreement following certain events, including the other party's bankruptcy, and, following the earlier of achievement of a certain milestone event and January 1, 2028, Exact Sciences may terminate the Exact Collaboration and License Agreement for convenience on 180 days prior written notice to Freenome.

The foregoing description of the Exact Collaboration and License Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Exact Collaboration and License Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.14 to this proxy statement/prospectus.

#### Roche License and Option Agreement
In November 2025, Freenome entered into a License and Option Agreement (the "***Roche License and Option Agreement***") with Roche Sequencing Solutions, Inc. ("***Roche Sequencing***"). Pursuant to the Roche License and Option Agreement, Freenome granted Roche Sequencing (a) an exclusive option (the "***Option***") to obtain an exclusive, royalty-bearing, sublicensable (subject to certain restrictions) license to certain of Freenome's intellectual property rights to exploit kitted assays for cancer screening, including for CRC and lung cancer (the "***Licensed Products***"), outside the U.S. (the "***Territory***") and (b) in the event that Freenome seeks to enter into a partnering transaction to offer centralized testing services for cancer screening in the Territory, a preferred partner right to negotiate with Freenome a definitive agreement for such partnering transaction. Kitted assays for cancer screening are diagnostic test kits that enable cancer screening to be performed using a standardized set of reagents and components, and may be deployed through either a centralized or decentralized model. In a centralized model, a patient's blood sample is processed at a single, high-volume centralized laboratory. In a decentralized model, kitted assays are distributed to qualified local or regional laboratories, enabling those laboratories to process patient samples closer to the point of care. Under the Roche License and Option Agreement, Freenome and Roche Sequencing are collaborating to develop a decentralized blood test kit for early-stage detection of several cancer indications and, if successful, Roche Sequencing will sell the decentralized blood test kits outside of the U.S. under IVD-R, allowing qualified laboratories to process patient samples with such kits. Freenome's current commercialization of MCED tests in the U.S. utilizes a centralized model, though Freenome may pursue a decentralized model in the future. In addition, Freenome agreed to conduct an evaluation of certain of Freenome's assays using Roche Sequencing's sequencing by expansion technology (the "SBX Platform") and, upon meeting certain requirements, Freenome will make available Freenome's assays on the SBX Platform pursuant to an SBX implementation plan.

As consideration for the Option and certain research & development activities, Roche Sequencing agreed to pay Freenome a $75.0 million option issue fee, in addition to certain future milestone payments in the aggregate amount of $134 million, of which $75.0 million for the option issue fee has been received to date, and are not subject to FDA Approvals being received. In addition, as consideration of the rights granted to Roche Sequencing, Roche Sequencing also agreed to pay Freenome an option issue fee in the amount of $75 million pursuant to a convertible note executed simultaneously with the execution of the Roche License and Option Agreement and royalty payments in the low single digit to mid-teens based on the Net Sales (as defined in the Roche License and Option Agreement) of Licensed Products. For more information on the convertible note issued to Roche, see the section entitled "*Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Freenome Agreements with Our Stockholders—Convertible Promissory Note with Roche*."

If Roche Sequencing exercises the Option, unless terminated, the Roche License and Option Agreement remains in effect until the expiration of the royalty term for all Licensed Products in the Territory. Either party may terminate the Roche License and Option Agreement for the other party's uncured material breach and Freenome may terminate the Roche License and Option Agreement (a) if following receipt of regulatory approval for a Licensed Product in the Territory, Roche Sequencing does not initiate or ceases commercialization of the Licensed Products in the Territory within a specified period of time or (b) if Roche Sequencing initiates certain patent challenges.

The foregoing description of the Roche License and Option Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Roche License and Option Agreement, a copy of which will be attached as Exhibit 10.16 to this proxy statement/prospectus.

#### Operations and Supply
Freenome relies on third-party suppliers to provide certain materials for its product candidates and, in some cases, a limited number of suppliers. For example, Freenome entered into a Supply Agreement with Illumina, Inc., the sole supplier of certain sequencers and related reagents, in January 2024 (the "***Illumina Agreement***"). Pursuant to the

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Illumina Agreement, Illumina provides products and services that Freenome uses in its laboratory operations and grants us limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable rights to use such products and associated software for specified uses subject to certain field-of-use restrictions and other limitations. The Illumina Agreement does not include minimum purchase commitments and provides for volume-based pricing. The Illumina Agreement expires in 2033 and can be terminated by either party for the other's uncured material breach, bankruptcy or insolvency-related events, violation of applicable laws or regulations or certain change of control events. The foregoing description of the Illumina Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Illumina Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.24 to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Additionally, Freenome entered into a Supply Agreement with New England Biolabs, Inc. ("***NEB***"), its sole supplier of reagents for DNA analysis (as amended, the "***NEB Agreement***") in February 2022, pursuant to which NEB supplies certain reagents used in Freenome's laboratory operations. The NEB Agreement includes minimum purchase commitments and forecast-based ordering requirements. In November 2022, the parties amended the NEB Agreement to provide Freenome with exclusive rights to use certain NEB products to perform a proprietary method of NEB in specified fields of use and territories, subject to Freenome's achievement of certain development and commercial milestones. In consideration for these exclusivity rights, Freenome issued NEB a warrant to purchase shares of its common stock and agreed to certain milestone-based obligations. The NEB Agreement has an initial term of ten years and automatically renews for successive two year periods. Either party may notify the other party of its intent not to renew at least six months prior to such renewal. Further, either party may terminate the NEB Agreement for the other's uncured material breach, bankruptcy, by mutual agreement. Freenome may also terminate for convenience upon 90 days written notice. The foregoing description of the NEB Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the NEB Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10. 25 to this proxy statement/prospectus.

#### Competition
We are developing a suite of blood-based tests to detect cancer at the earliest and most treatable stages. Our tests are underpinned by a proprietary multiomics platform (DNA, RNA and proteins and other analytes), that includes a differentiated non-bisulfite epigenetic assay that provides base-level resolution (vs. fragment-level resolution) that enables us to capture subtle biological changes important for early-stage cancer and pre-cancerous lesions. We believe these unique aspects of our technological approach fundamentally differentiate us from other early cancer detection platforms.

While we plan to commercialize tests in more than 10 indications (including multi-cancer), run on a unified platform over time, our initial commercial focus is on CRC and lung cancer. To our knowledge, we are one of only two companies (including Guardant Health) with a blood-based CRC test that has completed FDA validation studies that meet the requirements for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("***CMS***") coverage, aimed at a market in which there are approximately 120 million people eligible for screening, with approximately 40-50 million remaining unscreened today.

Our competitors include a wide range of companies that offer diagnostic testing for cancer indications utilizing various modalities, across both lab services providers and other developers of screening tools, which we believe can be organized as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• traditional screening methods and modalities across routine testing — including, but not limited to: imaging (e.g., low-dose CT scans, MRI), colonoscopies, at-home stool collection assays, endoscopies, pap smear tests, and others;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• MCED — testing to screen for numerous cancers from a single blood draw by looking for cancer signals from various analytes, including DNA, RNA, proteins and more; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• individual indications — blood-based screening for individual cancers (e.g., CRC, lung, prostate, etc.).

We believe that principal competitors include companies such as Caris Life Sciences, Exact Sciences, GRAIL, Guardant Health, LabCorp, Natera, Quest Diagnostics, as well as other larger medical device manufacturers and diagnostic laboratories.

While we cannot be certain as to how the market will evolve, today we believe we are substantially differentiated from our competitors for many reasons, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Novelty, breadth, depth and quality of our proprietary technology platform and data moat;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cross-functional and interdisciplinary team covering all the domains required to advance Freenome's mission and vision.

#### Intellectual Property
The protection of our intellectual property is fundamental to the long-term success of our business and depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our products and technologies covering our blood-based cancer screening tests. We seek to ensure that the investments made into the development of our technologies are protected by relying on a combination of patents, trade secrets, trademarks, license agreements, confidentiality agreements, non-disclosure agreements, invention disclosure document, assignment agreements, and other contractual rights and obligations.

More specifically, our patent strategy is focused on seeking coverage for our technologies relating to the early detection of cancer using multiomics and AI/ML. Our first blood test is for the detection of CRC, and we are developing additional tests related to other types of cancers, such as lung cancer and multi-cancer early detection. In addition, we continue to file for patent protection in connection with our on-going research and development activities, particularly those related to early-stage cancer detection.

As of March 24, 2026, our full patent portfolio comprises of 15 issued U.S. patents owned or licensed to us and 45 issued international patents. In addition, we have 27 patent applications pending at the USPTO, and 107 patent applications pending outside of the U.S. Our issued and pending patent applications outside of the U.S. include countries such as Australia, Canada, China, Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, and Singapore.

Our patent portfolio includes owned and licensed patent families consisting of U.S. patents (and U.S. patent applications) and their international counterparts relating to various aspects of our technology and products, which are expected to expire between 2031 and 2045. These patent families support our colorectal cancer and multi-cancer early detection product candidates by covering key components of our testing platform, including biomarker discovery, sequencing methodologies, and machine learning–based classification.

Our patent portfolio includes eight patent families including three issued U.S. patents, eight pending U.S. applications, and one pending PCT application covering, among other things: (i) methods for methylation sequencing and methylation signatures for early detection of CRC; (ii) protein signatures for early detection of CRC; (iii) methods for RNA sequencing and RNA signatures for early detection of CRC; and (iv) autoantibody (AAb) signatures for the early detection of CRC, that, if issued, expire between 2041 and 2045, in each case assuming payment of all appropriate maintenance, renewal, annuity or other governmental fees.

Our patent portfolio includes six patent families including seven pending U.S. applications and two U.S. provisional application covering, among other things: (i) early-stage cancer detection using multi-omics and multi-cancer early detection comprising methylation sequencing; (ii) transcription start site sequencing and profiling analysis; (iii) T-cell receptors/B-cell receptors profiling; (iv) multi-cancer signatures; and (v) transcription factor binding, that, if issued, expire between 2039 and 2045, in each case assuming payment of all appropriate maintenance, renewal, annuity or other governmental fees.

Our patent portfolio includes six patent families including three issued U.S. patents, six pending U.S. applications, and one pending PCT application covering, among other things: (i) wet chemistry workflows including 5hmC sequencing: (ii) improved methylation sequencing; (iii) and single-stranded DNA methylation sequencing, that, if issued, expire between 2031 and 2045, in each case assuming payment of all appropriate maintenance, renewal, annuity or other governmental fees.

Our patent portfolio includes three patent families including four issued U.S. patents, two pending U.S. applications, and one pending PCT application covering, among other things: (i) early-stage cancer detection using AI/ML classifiers; and (ii) implementation of ML/AI to develop classifiers for disease detection, that, if issued, expire between 2039 and 2046, in each case assuming payment of all appropriate maintenance, renewal, annuity or other governmental fees.

We also bolster our proprietary technology by in-licensing technologies developed by third parties. While we developed our AI/ML multiomics platform internally, we believe the technologies we in-licensed from third parties are potentially valuable and of possible strategic importance to us or our competitors.

We are recognized as a leader in the development of blood-based cancer screening tests. Thus, just as patent and trade secret protection is essential to protecting our technology, we believe that it is equally as important for us to protect our brand and identity. We have filed for trademark protection in our name, logos and products globally, in the U.S., Australia, South America, Europe and Asia.

We intend to continue to pursue additional intellectual property protection to the extent we believe it would advance our business objectives. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, however, we may not be successful and our intellectual property rights may be invalidated, circumvented or challenged and found to be unenforceable. In addition, laws of various foreign countries where our products are or expected to be sold may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as laws in the U.S.

#### Trade Secrets
We also rely on trade secrets, including know-how, to protect our unpatented technology and other proprietary information, and to maintain and strengthen our competitive position. We have determined that certain technologies, such as proprietary aspects of our sample preparation methods and our AI/ML-enabled platform, including specific algorithms and data processing techniques that are not easily reverse-engineered, are better kept as trade secrets. To mitigate the chance of trade secret misappropriation, it is our policy to enter into nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements with parties who have access to our trade secrets, such as our employees, collaborators, outside scientific collaborators, consultants, advisors and other third parties. We also enter into invention disclosure and assignment agreements with our employees and consultants that obligate them to assign to us any inventions they have developed while working for us. Further, we rely on trade secret protection for our confidential and proprietary information. Included in our trade secrets are the data from our genomics studies, various aspects of the operation of our laboratories, and various aspects of the algorithms used to process our data.

Trade secrets are difficult to protect. Although we take steps to protect our proprietary information and trade secrets, including through contractual means with our employees, contractors, and consultants, third parties may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or disclose our technology via unauthorized means, such as hacking by private or state actors. Although state and federal courts in the U.S. are generally willing to protect trade secrets, some courts inside and outside the U.S. are less willing or unwilling to protect trade secrets.

#### Payer Coverage and Reimbursement
Because we do not yet offer any commercial tests, we do not currently receive reimbursement from any commercial or government payer. However, coverage, coding, and reimbursement will be critical to the future commercial success of any products we bring to market. Once our tests are commercially available, payment rates and coverage determinations from Medicare, Medicaid, private insurers, and other third-party payers will significantly influence test adoption, utilization, and revenue. The reimbursement landscape for multi-cancer early detection technologies is complex and evolving, and we expect that achieving and maintaining adequate coverage and payment for our tests will require substantial time and resources.

In addition, because our future tests are expected to be used in screening and early detection contexts, a portion of our potential use cases may be viewed by payers as preventive services (i.e., performed in the absence of signs or

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
symptoms of illness or injury). Coverage rules and evidence expectations for preventive services often differ from coverage rules applicable to diagnostic testing, and this dynamic may increase uncertainty regarding payer coverage and reimbursement for our future tests.

#### Commercial Payers
Payment from commercial payers for our future products may vary depending on whether we have entered into a contract with the payer as a "participating provider" or whether we are considered a "non-participating provider." Payers often reimburse non-participating providers, if at all, at lower rates than participating providers. When we contract with a payer to serve as a participating provider, reimbursements are typically made pursuant to a negotiated fee schedule and are generally limited to covered indications or services for which prior authorization has been obtained. Becoming a participating provider can result in higher reimbursement amounts for covered uses of our tests and, potentially, no reimbursement for non-covered uses identified under the payer's policies or the contract. As a result, any more favorable reimbursement associated with participating-provider status may be offset by a loss of reimbursement for non-covered uses of our future tests.

Because we do not yet have commercial tests on the market, we have not yet secured commercial payer contracts, obtained coverage determinations, or established contracted payment rates. We expect to pursue these arrangements as part of future commercialization efforts.

Coverage decisions and reimbursement levels may be made on a payer-by-payer basis and may vary by population, indication, test frequency, provider setting, and other utilization management criteria. Even if we secure contracts or coverage policies with certain payers, such arrangements typically do not obligate healthcare providers to order our tests and do not guarantee that our claims will be paid at expected levels.

#### Medicare Coverage
Medicare coverage is limited to items and services that fall within a benefit category and are "reasonable and necessary" in accordance with applicable Medicare coverage standards, which may differ depending on whether a service is treated as diagnostic or preventive. Coverage may be established through a National Coverage Determination ("***NCD***") issued by CMS or a Local Coverage Determination ("***LCD***") issued by a Medicare Administrative Contractor ("***MAC***").

Traditional fee-for-service Medicare generally does not cover screening tests, which are considered preventive services, that are performed in the absence of signs or symptoms of illness or injury, unless there is a statutory provision that explicitly authorizes coverage of the test.

The Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 authorizes CMS to cover certain preventive services that are not expressly covered by statute if the service is (a) reasonable and necessary for the prevention or early detection of an illness or disability, (b) recommended with a grade of A or B by the USPSTF, and (c) appropriate for Medicare beneficiaries under Part A or Part B. CMS establishes coverage through an NCD process. In its discretion, the USPSTF generally waits for regulatory authorization (e.g., FDA approval or clearance) before it considers undertaking reviews of novel technologies.

If our future tests are treated as screening tests under Medicare, coverage and reimbursement under traditional fee-for-service Medicare may be unavailable unless we pursue additional measures (which may include generating the evidence typically expected for USPSTF review and seeking an NCD) or unless Congress enacts a statutory benefit authorizing coverage for multi-cancer early detection or similar screening tests. Any such pathway may require significant time, resources, stakeholder engagement, and may ultimately be unsuccessful.

We may also evaluate opportunities for reimbursement through Medicare Advantage plans and other channels, but such coverage (if available) typically requires separate negotiations and is not assured.

#### Medicare Reimbursement
Under Medicare, payment for laboratory tests similar to those we expect to offer is made under the Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule ("***CLFS***"), with rates assigned to specific billing codes. The Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 ("***PAMA***") fundamentally restructured CLFS rate-setting by requiring "applicable laboratories" to report private-payer payment rates and volumes. CMS uses this data to calculate weighted-median Medicare payment amounts.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Although PAMA originally required reporting every three years (or annually for advanced diagnostic laboratory tests ("***ADLTs***")), Congress has repeatedly delayed reporting cycles and limited the magnitude of CLFS payment reductions. Most recently, Congress deferred the next PAMA private-payer data reporting period for non-ADLT tests until 2026 and extended the cap on annual CLFS rate reductions (not more than 15% per year) through 2028. As a result, Medicare rates for new tests will continue to be influenced by previously reported data until CMS implements updated CLFS rates after the 2026 reporting period. Several legislative proposals to reform or replace PAMA's methodology remain under consideration, and the future impact of such reforms on reimbursement for multi-omics and early cancer detection tests is uncertain.

#### Coding and the MolDx Program
CPT coding plays a significant role in how our future tests will be reimbursed by both commercial and governmental payers. In addition:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Certain payers, including those participating in Medicare's Molecular Diagnostic Services Program ("  ***MolDx*** "), require the use of Z-Code Identifiers, which supplement CPT codes and support technical assessment and coverage decisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes to coding, including reassignment of CPT codes or Z-Codes, may materially affect reimbursement levels.

Because we do not yet have commercialized tests, we have not yet pursued CPT codes, Z-Codes, LCDs, or NCDs.

#### Medicaid
State Medicaid programs independently determine coverage for diagnostic tests. These programs have increasingly implemented cost-containment measures, including prior authorization requirements, laboratory benefit carve-outs, utilization controls, and coverage exclusions. Future Medicaid policies may affect access, utilization, and payment for our future testing services.

Even where coverage for a laboratory test is established by Medicare, Medicaid, or other governmental payers, payment is conditioned on compliance with applicable billing, documentation, medical necessity, and administrative requirements. Government payers may modify coverage policies, billing rules, documentation standards, utilization controls, or claims-processing requirements at any time, often without advance notice. Claims may be delayed or denied for administrative, technical, or compliance-related reasons unrelated to the clinical merits of a test, and applicable appeals, reconsideration, or resubmission processes may be time-consuming, costly, and uncertain. Any such changes or payment delays could adversely affect cash flow, increase operating costs, and negatively impact the commercial viability of our future tests.

#### General Coverage and Reimbursement Considerations
Across jurisdictions, a decision by a third-party payer to provide coverage does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved, and coverage and reimbursement can differ significantly from payer to payer. As a result, the coverage determination process is often time-consuming and costly and may require us to provide clinical and health economic evidence to each payer separately, with no assurance that coverage or adequate reimbursement will be obtained. Third-party payers increasingly examine medical necessity and cost-effectiveness, and may consider downstream utilization and costs associated with follow-on diagnostic workups when evaluating screening or early detection tests. Tests deployed at scale may face incremental scrutiny given the potential for false positives on an absolute basis and the additional costs associated with confirmatory diagnostic procedures.

#### Government Regulation

#### Clinical Laboratory Framework
<u>Federal and State Laboratory Licensing Requirements</u>

Under the CLIA, a "laboratory" is any facility that performs testing on human specimens for diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of disease, or for health assessment. CLIA requires laboratories to maintain appropriate certificates and comply with extensive operational, personnel, quality, and proficiency-testing standards designed to ensure accurate and reliable clinical testing. CMS regulates all non-research laboratory testing performed on humans in the U.S. through the CLIA. In total, CLIA covers approximately 260,000 laboratory entities. The Division of Clinical

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Laboratory Improvement and Quality, within the Quality, Safety and Oversight Group, under the Center for Clinical Standards and Quality ("***CCSQ***"), has the responsibility for implementing the CLIA program. Under CLIA, we are required to hold a certificate applicable to the type of laboratory tests we perform and to comply with standards applicable to our operations, including test processes, personnel, facilities administration, equipment maintenance, recordkeeping, quality systems and proficiency testing, which are intended to ensure, among other things, that clinical laboratory testing services are accurate, reliable and timely.

The College of American Pathologists ("***CAP***") administers a widely recognized laboratory accreditation program. CAP accreditation is often required by private insurers and certain foreign jurisdictions as evidence that a laboratory meets rigorous quality standards.

We maintain CLIA certification for our Brisbane, California laboratory that allows us to perform high complexity testing.

A laboratory that is certified as "high complexity" under CLIA may develop, manufacture, validate and use proprietary tests referred to as LDTs. CLIA requires analytical validation including accuracy, precision, specificity, sensitivity and establishment of a reference range for any LDT used in clinical testing. The regulatory and compliance standards applicable to the testing we perform may change over time, and any such changes could have a material effect on our business.

In addition, CLIA allows states to impose additional laboratory licensure requirements, some of which apply to out-of-state laboratories performing testing for residents of those states.

A number of states have implemented their own more stringent laboratory regulatory requirements. Such laws, among other things, establish standards for the day-to-day operation of a clinical laboratory, including the training and skills required of personnel and quality control.

Penalties for non-compliance with CLIA requirements include a range of enforcement actions, including suspension, limitation or revocation of the laboratory's CLIA certificate, as well as directed plan of correction, state on-site monitoring, civil monetary penalties, civil injunctive suit or criminal penalties.

Failure by us to maintain licensure could require us to redirect testing, suspend availability of our future tests in impacted states, or otherwise modify operations.

Failure to comply with CLIA or applicable state laboratory laws may result in:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Suspension, limitation or revocation of CLIA certification or state licenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• criminal sanctions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• state on-site monitoring;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• directed plans of correction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• civil monetary penalties; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• civil injunctive suit or criminal penalties.

Any such action could materially disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business.

<u>Federal Oversight of Laboratory Developed Tests</u>

Our current and future product candidates may be marketed as LDTs and we may seek to commercialize certain of our products in development as LDTs. LDTs are clinical laboratory tests that are developed and validated by a laboratory for its own use. The FDA historically has taken the position that it has the authority to regulate such tests as medical devices under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the "***FDCA***") but until recently has for the most part exercised enforcement discretion and has not required marketing authorization of LDTs prior to marketing.

In May 2024, the FDA issued a final rule which amended the FDA's regulations to make explicit that LDTs are devices under the FDCA (the "***LDT Rule***"). Along with the LDT Rule, the FDA finalized a policy to phase out its enforcement discretion policy over a period of four years from issuance of the final rule. However, on March 31, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas vacated the LDT Rule, reasoning that LDTs are not medical

------

devices, and remanded the matter to the FDA for further consideration. The decision was not appealed, and in September 2025, the FDA rescinded the LDT Rule. It remains uncertain what impact this ruling may have on the FDA's authority to review marketing applications for LDTs or to take enforcement action against tests marketed as LDTs.

Legislative proposals proposing to amend FDA's oversight of LDTs have been introduced in recent years and we expect that new legislative proposals will continue to be introduced from time to time. It is possible that legislation could be enacted into law which may result in new or increased regulatory requirements to develop and introduce new tests as LDTs.

#### U.S. Medical Device Regulatory Framework
Unless otherwise exempted or subject to enforcement discretion, medical devices, which include in vitro diagnostic tests, are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other federal, state, local, and foreign regulatory bodies. FDA regulations govern, among other things, the following activities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• product design and development;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• product testing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• product manufacturing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• product safety;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• post-market adverse event reporting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• post-market surveillance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• product labeling;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• product storage;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• record keeping;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• premarket clearance or approval;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• post-market approval studies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• advertising and promotion; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• product sales and distribution.

#### FDA's Premarket Clearance and Approval Requirements
To commercially distribute any in vitro diagnostic device requires either prior clearance of a premarket notification, or 510(k), or prior approval of a premarket approval, or PMA, application or de novo classification from the FDA.

The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes. Devices deemed to pose lower risk are placed in either class I or II, which generally requires the manufacturer to submit to the FDA a 510(k) requesting permission for commercial distribution. This process is known as 510(k) clearance. Some low risk devices are exempt from this requirement. Class I devices are those for which safety and effectiveness can be reasonably assured by adherence to FDA's "general controls", which include compliance with the applicable portions of the FDA's QMSR, facility registration and product listing, reporting of adverse medical events and malfunctions through the submission of medical device reports, and appropriate, truthful and non-misleading labeling, advertising and promotional materials. Class II devices are subject to FDA's general controls and any other "special controls" deemed necessary by FDA to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device, such as performance standards, special labeling requirements, patient registries or post-market surveillance. Devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices, or devices deemed not substantially equivalent to a previously cleared 510(k) device are placed in class III, requiring approval of a PMA application. To market low to moderate risk devices that are automatically placed into class III, a manufacturer may request a de novo classification from FDA. 510(k) submissions, PMA applications and de novo classification requests are subject to the payment of user fees, paid at the time of submission for FDA review. The FDA can also impose restrictions on the sale, distribution or use of devices at the time of their clearance or approval or authorization, or subsequent to marketing.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### 510(k) Clearance Pathway
To obtain 510(k) clearance, a medical device manufacturer must submit a premarket notification demonstrating that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to a previously cleared 510(k) device or a device that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976 for which the FDA has not yet called for the submission of a PMA application or a device that has been reclassified from class III to class II or class I. A device is substantially equivalent if, with respect to the predicate device, it has the same intended use and has either (i) the same technological characteristics, or (ii) different technological characteristics, but the information provided in the 510(k) submission demonstrates that the device does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness and is at least as safe and effective as the predicate device. The FDA's 510(k) clearance pathway usually takes from three to 12 months from the date the notification is submitted, but it can take significantly longer, and clearance is never assured. Although many 510(k) submissions are cleared without clinical data, in some cases, the FDA requires significant clinical data to support substantial equivalence. In reviewing a 510(k) submission, the FDA may request additional information, including clinical data, which may significantly prolong the review process. After a device receives 510(k) clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change in its intended use, will require a new 510(k) clearance or could require a PMA application or de novo request for classification. The FDA requires each manufacturer to make this determination initially, but the FDA can review any such decision and can disagree with a manufacturer's determination. If the FDA disagrees with a manufacturer's determination regarding whether a new premarket submission is required for the modification of an existing device, the FDA can require the manufacturer to cease marketing and/or recall the modified device until clearance or approval is obtained.

#### Premarket Approval Pathway
A PMA application must be submitted if the device cannot be cleared through the 510(k) clearance process and requires proof of the safety and effectiveness of the device to the FDA's satisfaction. Accordingly, a PMA application must be supported by extensive data including, but not limited to, technical information regarding device design and development, preclinical studies and clinical trials, data and manufacturing and labeling to support the FDA's determination that the device is safe and effective for its intended use. After FDA determines that a PMA application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review, the FDA begins an in-depth review of the submitted information, which generally takes between one and three years, but may take significantly longer. During this review period, the FDA may request additional information or clarification of information already provided, and the FDA may issue a major deficiency letter to the applicant, which requests the applicant's response to deficiencies communicated by the FDA and stops the FDA's review clock until a complete response to the letter is submitted by the applicant and received by the FDA. The FDA considers a PMA application to have been voluntarily withdrawn if an applicant fails to respond to an FDA request for information (e.g., major deficiency letter) within a total of 360 days. Also, during the review period, an advisory panel of experts from outside the FDA may be convened to review and evaluate the application and provide recommendations to the FDA as to the approvability of the device. In addition, the FDA will conduct a preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facility to ensure compliance with the QMSR, which impose elaborate design development, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures in the design and manufacturing process. The FDA may approve a PMA application with post-approval conditions intended to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device including, among other things, restrictions on labeling, promotion, sale and distribution and collection of long-term follow-up data from patients in the clinical study that supported approval. Failure to comply with the conditions of approval can result in materially adverse enforcement action, including the loss or withdrawal of the approval. New PMA applications or PMA application supplements are required for significant modifications to the manufacturing process, labeling and design of a device that is approved through the PMA process. PMA supplements often require submission of the same type of information as a PMA application, except that the supplement is limited to information needed to support any changes from the device covered by the original PMA application, and may not require as extensive clinical data or the convening of an advisory panel.

#### De Novo Classification Pathway
Device types that the FDA has not previously classified as class I, II or III are automatically classified into class III regardless of the level of risk they pose. To market low to moderate risk devices that are automatically placed into class III due to the absence of a predicate device, a manufacturer may request a de novo classification. This procedure allows a manufacturer whose novel device is automatically classified into class III to request classification of its device into class I or II on the basis that the device presents low or moderate risk, rather than requiring the submission and

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
approval of a PMA application. The FDA is required to classify the device within 120 days following receipt of the de novo classification request, although in practice, the FDA's review may take significantly longer. If the manufacturer seeks reclassification into class II, the manufacturer must include a draft proposal for special controls that are necessary to provide a reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device. The FDA may reject the de novo classification request if it identifies a legally marketed predicate device that would be appropriate for a 510(k) or determines that the device is not low to moderate risk or that general controls would be inadequate to control the risks and special controls cannot be developed. In the event FDA determines the data and information submitted demonstrate that general controls or general and special controls are adequate to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness, FDA will grant the de novo request for classification. When FDA grants a de novo request for classification, the device is granted marketing authorization and further can serve as a predicate for future devices of that type for subsequent 510(k) submissions.

#### Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are typically required to support a PMA and often for a de novo classification request, and are sometimes required to support a 510(k) submission. All clinical investigations of devices to determine safety and effectiveness must be conducted in accordance with the FDA's investigational device exemption, or IDE, regulations which govern investigational device labeling, prohibit promotion of the investigational devices, and specify an array of recordkeeping, reporting and monitoring responsibility of study sponsors and study investigators. If the device presents a "significant risk," as defined by the FDA, to human health, the FDA requires the device sponsor to submit an Investigational Device Exemption ("***IDE***") application to the FDA, which must be approved prior to commencing human clinical trials. A significant risk device is one that presents a potential for serious risk to the health, safety or welfare of a patient and either is implanted, purported or represented to be used in supporting or sustaining human life, is for a use that is substantially important in diagnosing, curing, mitigating or treating disease or otherwise preventing impairment of human health, or otherwise presents a potential for serious risk to a subject. An IDE application must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal and laboratory test results, showing that it is safe to test the device in humans and that the testing protocol is scientifically sound. A clinical trial may begin 30 days after receipt of the IDE application by the FDA unless the FDA notifies the company that the investigation may not begin. If the FDA determines that there are deficiencies or other concerns with an IDE for which it requires modification, the FDA may permit a clinical trial to proceed under a conditional approval. Acceptance of an IDE application for review does not guarantee that the FDA will approve the IDE and, if it is approved, the FDA may or may not determine that the data derived from the trials support the safety and effectiveness of the device or warrant the continuation of clinical trials. An IDE supplement must be submitted to, and approved by, the FDA before a sponsor or investigator may make a change to the investigational plan that may affect its scientific soundness, study plan or the rights, safety or welfare of human subjects.

In addition, the study must be approved by, and conducted under the oversight of, an institutional review board, or IRB, for each clinical site. The IRB is responsible for the initial and continuing review of the IDE, and may pose additional requirements for the conduct of the study. If an IDE application is approved by the FDA and one or more IRBs, human clinical trials may begin a specific number of investigational sites with a specific number of patients, as approved by the FDA.

If the device is considered a "non-significant risk," an IDE application to the FDA is not required. Instead, only approval from the IRB overseeing the investigation at each clinical trial site is required. Abbreviated IDE requirements, such as monitoring the investigation, ensuring that the investigators obtain informed consent, and labeling and record-keeping requirements also apply to non-significant risk device studies.

During a study, the sponsor is required to comply with the applicable FDA requirements, including, for example, trial monitoring, selecting clinical investigators and providing them with the investigational plan, ensuring IRB review, adverse event reporting, record keeping and prohibitions on the promotion of investigational devices or on making safety or effectiveness claims for them. The clinical investigators in the clinical study are also subject to FDA's regulations and must obtain patient informed consent, rigorously follow the investigational plan and study protocol, control the disposition of the investigational device, and comply with all applicable reporting and record keeping requirements.

Additionally, after a trial begins, the sponsor, the FDA or the IRB could suspend or terminate a clinical trial at any time for various reasons, including a belief that the risks to study subjects outweigh the anticipated benefits. Even if a clinical trial is completed, there can be no assurance that the data generated during a clinical study will meet the safety

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
and effectiveness endpoints or otherwise produce results that will lead the FDA to grant marketing clearance or approval. Information about certain device clinical trials must be posted on clinicaltrials.gov.

#### FDA Post-Market Requirements
After a device is placed on the market, regardless of its classification or premarket pathway, numerous regulatory requirements apply. These include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• establishment registration and device listings with the FDA;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• QSR, which require manufacturers to follow stringent design, testing, process control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• labeling regulations, which prohibit the promotion of products for uncleared or unapproved, *i.e.*, "off-label," uses and impose other restrictions on labeling;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• medical device reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA if their device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if it were to recur;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• corrections and removal reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA field corrections and product recalls or removals if undertaken to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the FDCA that may present a risk to health; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• requirements to conduct post-market surveillance studies to establish continued safety data.

The FDA enforces these requirements by inspection and market surveillance. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in enforcement action by the FDA, which may include any of the following sanctions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• untitled letters or warning letters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fines, injunctions and civil penalties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• recall or seizure of our products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• refusing requests for 510(k) clearance or premarket approval or de novo classification of new products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• withdrawing premarket approvals that are already granted or reclassifying the devices; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• criminal prosecution.

#### Federal and State Fraud and Abuse Laws
Companies that offer laboratory testing services are subject to federal fraud and abuse laws such as the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, or AKS, the Eliminating Kickbacks in Recovery Act, or EKRA, the federal prohibition against physician self-referral, or Stark Law, and the federal false claims law, or the False Claims Act, or FCA. We are also subject to similar state and foreign fraud and abuse laws.

The AKS prohibits knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting, or receiving remuneration, directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind, in return for or to induce such person to refer an individual, or to purchase, lease, order, arrange for, or recommend purchasing, leasing or ordering, any good, facility, item or service that is reimbursable, in whole or in part, under a federal healthcare program. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from an AKS violation constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act.

The EKRA prohibits knowingly and willfully soliciting or receiving any remuneration (including any kickback, bribe or rebate) directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind, in return for referring a patient or patronage to a laboratory; or paying or offering any remuneration (including any kickback, bribe or rebate) directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind, to induce a referral of an individual to a laboratory or in exchange for an individual using the services of that laboratory. The EKRA applies to all payers including commercial payers and government payers, and EKRA violations result in significant fines and/or up to 10 years in jail, separate and apart from existing AKS regulations.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
The Stark Law and similar state laws generally prohibit, among other things, clinical laboratories and other entities from billing a patient or any governmental or commercial payer for any diagnostic services when the physician ordering the service, or any member of such physician's immediate family, has a direct or indirect investment interest in or compensation arrangement with us, unless the arrangement meets an exception to the prohibition.

Other federal fraud and abuse laws to which we may be subject include but are not limited to the federal civil and criminal false claims laws including the False Claims Act, which imposes liability on any person or entity that, among other things, knowingly presents, or causes to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment to the federal government, and the federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which prohibits, among other things, the offering or transfer of remuneration to a Medicare or state healthcare program beneficiary if the person knows or should know it is likely to influence the beneficiary's selection of a particular provider, practitioner, or supplier of services reimbursable by Medicare or a state healthcare program, unless an exception applies. Under the FCA, private citizens can bring claims on behalf of the government through qui tam actions.

We must also operate within the bounds of the fraud and abuse laws of the states in which we do business which may apply to items or services reimbursed by non-governmental third-party payers, including private insurers. In addition, some states have their own anti-kickback, self-referral, anti-markup and corporate practice of medicine laws that may apply to our contractual and financial relationships with physicians, laboratories and other healthcare providers, even when federal programs are not involved, and which may be interpreted more broadly than similar federal laws.

In addition, the Physician Payments Sunshine Act imposes, among other things, reporting requirements on manufacturers of FDA-approved or cleared medical devices, drugs and biologics (including FDA-approved IVDs) for certain payments and transfers of value by them and in some cases their distributors to physicians (defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists and chiropractors), certain other healthcare providers such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners, and teaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians (as defined by the statute) and their immediate family members.

Efforts to ensure that our business arrangements with third parties comply with applicable laws and regulations will involve substantial costs. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of these laws or any other governmental regulations that may apply to us, we may be subject to significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, imprisonment, exclusion from government-funded healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, disgorgement, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, additional reporting or oversight obligations if we become subject to a corporate integrity agreement or other agreement to resolve allegations of non-compliance with the law and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our results of operations. If any physicians or other healthcare providers or entities with whom we do business is found to be not in compliance with applicable laws, they may be subject to criminal, civil or administrative sanctions, including exclusions from government-funded healthcare programs.

#### Privacy and Security Regulations
Our future operations may involve the creation, receipt, maintenance, and transmission of PHI and other personal information. In the U.S., Freenome's collection, use, and disclosure of personal information, including sensitive health data of patients, is or may become subject to various privacy and data security laws and regulations, including the HIPAA, and state privacy and security laws and regulations, including state privacy and consumer health data laws, such as the CCPA and Washington's My Health My Data Act. HIPAA and its implementing regulations impose privacy, security, and breach-notification requirements on covered entities and their business associates. Although we do not currently operate a clinical laboratory or submit claims, we may in the future be considered a business associate to certain covered entities (e.g., providers ordering our future tests), which might require us to enter into HIPAA-compliant business associate agreements and implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect PHI. This thick web of federal and state laws is increasingly difficult to navigate and enforcement priorities are yet unsettled.

We are also subject to state privacy and security laws that may be more stringent than HIPAA, as well as international laws such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("***GDPR***") if we engage in international operations. Although the Company's operations outside of the U.S. are currently limited, the Company may become subject to the General Data Protection Act in the U.K. or the EU (collectively, GDPR) to the extent it processes personal information of individuals in such jurisdictions.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
The Company is committed to maintaining compliance with privacy and data security regulations and has implemented robust internal controls to protect the privacy and security of its data. Nevertheless, our actual or perceived failure to comply with applicable privacy and security regulations or to adequately secure the information in our possession could result in civil monetary penalties, significant liability, regulatory investigations, regulatory penalties, litigation, reputational harm, remediation costs, and operational disruption, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business operations, financial condition, and reputation. Even if Freenome maintains robust internal controls, cybersecurity threats are constantly evolving and becoming more sophisticated. If we or our service providers fail to successfully defend against such threats, we may experience security incidents, data breaches, data loss, or other material disruptions to our information technology systems. Such incidents could compromise sensitive business information, prevent us from accessing critical data, and expose us to substantial liability, regulatory penalties, and remediation costs.

The Company deploys AI/ML models in cancer research activities. Over the past couple of years, states have advanced laws and regulations focused on high risk deployments of AI, including in areas such as healthcare. We will monitor and prepare to comply with these laws, which may affect the methods of using and training AI in our business.

#### U.S. Healthcare Reform
In the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, there have been a number of legislative and regulatory changes to the healthcare system. Changes in healthcare policy could increase our costs and subject us to additional regulatory requirements that may interrupt our ability to commercialize our future products, decrease our revenue and adversely impact sales of, and pricing of and reimbursement for, our future products.

For example, in March 2010, the ACA was signed into law, which substantially changed the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers in the U.S. The ACA contains a number of provisions, including those governing enrollment in federal healthcare programs, reimbursement adjustments, and fraud and abuse changes. The implementation of the ACA in the U.S., for example, has changed healthcare financing and delivery by both governmental and private insurers substantially, and affected medical device manufacturers significantly. The ACA included, among other things, provisions governing enrollment in federal and state healthcare programs, reimbursement matters, and fraud and abuse.

Since its enactment, there have been judicial, U.S. Congressional and executive branch challenges to certain aspects of the ACA. On June 17, 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed the most recent judicial challenge to the ACA brought by several states without specifically ruling on the constitutionality of the ACA. It is unclear how other healthcare reform measures, if any, will impact our business.

In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. For example, the Budget Control Act of 2011, among other things, resulted in reductions in payments to Medicare providers, which went into effect on April 1, 2013 and, due to subsequent legislative amendments to the statute, will remain in effect through 2032, unless additional Congressional action is taken. Additionally, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, among other things, reduced CMS payments to several providers, including hospitals, and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover Medicare overpayments to providers from three to five years.

Future changes to federal or state healthcare policy, including changes that affect Medicare reimbursement, laboratory benefit design, preventive-services coverage, or value-based initiatives, could materially impact demand for our future tests and our commercialization strategy. We cannot predict the ultimate effect of current or future healthcare reform measures on our business.

#### European Union Regulation
In the EU, IVDs are regulated under the EU IVDR, which became applicable on May 26, 2022 (subject to transitional provisions for certain "legacy" devices). The EU IVDR introduced more stringent requirements than the previous EU IVDD, including enhanced performance evaluation evidence (including clinical performance), post-market surveillance, and increased scrutiny by notified bodies for most device classes.

Under the EU IVDR framework, in order for an IVD to be placed on the EU market, it must bear a CE mark (Conformité Européenne) indicating conformity with the applicable general safety and performance requirements laid down in Annex I to the EU IVDR. The requirements include that an IVD must be designed and manufactured in such a way that, during normal conditions of use, it is suitable for its intended purpose. IVDs must be safe and effective and

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
must not compromise the clinical condition or safety of patients, or the safety and health of users and—where applicable—other persons, provided that any risks which may be associated with their use constitute acceptable risks when weighed against the benefits to the patient and are compatible with a high level of protection of health and safety, taking into account the generally acknowledged state of the art. To demonstrate compliance with the general safety and performance requirements, manufacturers must undergo a conformity assessment procedure, which varies according to the type of IVD and its (risk) classification. For most IVDs (other than certain lowest-risk non-sterile class A devices), a conformity assessment procedure requires the intervention of an independent notified body. The notified body would typically audit and examine the technical file and the quality system for the manufacture, design and final inspection of our devices. If satisfied that the relevant product conforms to the relevant general safety and performance requirements, the notified body issues a certificate of conformity, which the manufacturer uses as a basis for its own EU declaration of conformity. The manufacturer may then apply the CE mark to the device, which allows the device to be placed on the market throughout the EU.

Under the EU IVDR's transitional provisions, certain "legacy" devices that are covered by an EU IVDD certificate, or for which an EU IVDD declaration of conformity was drawn up, prior to May 26, 2022, and that meet specified transitional conditions (including continued compliance with the prior rules, no significant changes in design or intended purpose, and no unacceptable risk), may continue to be placed on the EU market until deadlines ranging from December 31, 2027 to December 31, 2029, depending on risk classification. The extension is conditional on the manufacturer fulfilling certain requirements, including putting in place an EU IVDR-compliant quality management system and meeting specified timelines for making a formal application to a notified body and putting an agreement in place with a notified body for review under the EU IVDR. New devices of any class must comply with the EU IVDR.

The aforementioned EU rules are generally applicable in the EEA (which consists of the 27 EU Member States plus Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein).

The U.K. formally left the EU on January 31, 2020. In respect of medical devices (including IVDs), since the end of the Brexit transitional period on January 1, 2021, medical devices must be registered with the MHRA before being placed on the Great Britain market. If a manufacturer of a device placed on the market in Great Britain is based outside of the U.K., the manufacturer must appoint a U.K. responsible person with a registered place of business in the U.K. to act on the manufacturer's behalf in respect of certain activities (e.g. device registration). CE marks issued by EU notified bodies to place IVDs on the market in the EU will remain valid in the U.K. up until, at the latest, June 30, 2030, following which a U.K. Conformity Assessed ("***UKCA***") mark will be required to place a device on the Great Britain market. Manufacturers may choose to use the UKCA mark on a voluntary basis prior to such dates. UKCA marking is, however, not recognized in the EU. The EU regulatory framework on medical devices continues to apply in Northern Ireland under the Windsor Framework and medical devices in Northern Ireland may either carry an EU CE mark or a U.K. and Northern Ireland CE mark, or CE U.K.(NI), although devices bearing the CE UK(NI) marking will not be accepted on the EU market.

Following a public consultation, the U.K. government is implementing changes to the medical devices legislation. The first piece of legislation came into force on June 16, 2025, and implements changes to the post-market surveillance requirements for medical devices in Great Britain, with the aim of facilitating greater traceability of incidents. Further legislation will be put in place in 2026 to introduce new pre-market requirements, including an international reliance procedure for approval of certain medical devices for the Great Britain market. One of the key areas in the public consultation was to obtain feedback on whether to remove the requirement for a medical device and its labelling (i.e. packaging and instructions for use) in Great Britain to bear a physical UKCA mark. Instead of requiring a medical device and its labelling to bear a UKCA mark, manufacturers would be required to assign a unique design identification ("***UDI***") to medical devices before they are placed on the Great Britain market. If this change is implemented, we may no longer be required to affix the physical UKCA mark to our devices, but we may need to assign and affix a UDI.

#### Employees and Human Capital Resources
Freenome is headquartered in Brisbane, California. As of March 25, 2026, we employ approximately 363 total employees, of which 363 are full time, who represent a world-class, cross-functional team of experts across genomics, proteomics, AI/ML and various additional scientific and technical disciplines. Our workforce is diverse, highly skilled, and dedicated to our mission of saving lives through early cancer detection. Our human capital strategy emphasizes the recruitment, development, and retention of top talent across scientific, technical, and commercial functions. Our culture is built on a commitment to innovation, collaboration, and patient impact, with a focus on advancing the science of early cancer detection and delivering value to stakeholders. Our leadership team includes experienced executives in

#### FREENOME'S MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
*The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Freenome Holdings, Inc. (for purposes of this section, "Freenome" "we" "our" or "us") should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion and analysis and other parts of this proxy statement/prospectus contain forward-looking statements based upon our current plans and expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, such as statements regarding our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions and beliefs. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. You should carefully read the "Risk Factors" section of this proxy statement/prospectus to gain an understanding of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements. Please also see "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.* 

#### Overview
We are an early cancer detection company developing blood-based screening tests leveraging AI/ML to transform multi-cancer and ultimately multi-disease detection. We founded Freenome with the goal to build an automated, scalable multiomics discovery platform and biologically-informed AI/ML designed to identify the earliest signs of disease. Our common platform is designed to evaluate and integrate multiple analytes (e.g., DNA, RNA and proteins) with differentiated wetlab automation capabilities and high-quality clinical trials to develop accurate tests with the potential to address cancer heterogeneity.

We currently have no products approved for commercial sale in the United States and have not generated any material revenue to date, and we continue to incur significant R&D and other expenses related to our ongoing operations. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, if ever, will depend on premarket approval of the SimpleScreen CRC (v1) and future development of multi-cancer early detection tests.

#### The Business Combination
On December 5, 2025, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with PCSC, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II, a subsidiary of PCSC. Upon closing of the Business Combination, PCSC will become a Delaware corporation and will be renamed to Freenome Inc., or New Freenome, and Merger Sub will merge with and into Freenome, with Freenome as the surviving company and, after giving effect to such merger, continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Freenome.

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Freenome will be deemed the accounting predecessor and the combined entity will be the successor SEC registrant, meaning that Freenome's financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the registrant's future periodic reports filed with the SEC. Under this method of accounting, PCSC will be treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes. The most significant change in the successor's future reported financial position and results are expected to be an estimated net increase in cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities (as compared to Freenome's balance sheet at December 31, 2025) of between approximately $241.7 million, assuming maximum shareholder redemptions permitted under the Business Combination agreement, and $311.7 million, assuming no shareholder redemptions, and in each case including $240.0 million in gross proceeds from the private investment in public equity of New Freenome, or PIPE Financing, which is contingent upon the substantially concurrent closing of the Business Combination. Total transaction costs are estimated at approximately $18.4 million. See "*Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information*."

As a result of the Business Combination, Freenome will become the successor to an SEC-registered and Nasdaq-listed company, which will require Freenome to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. Freenome expects to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors' and officers' liability insurance, director fees, and additional internal and external accounting, legal, and administrative resources, including increased personnel costs, audit and other professional service fees.

#### Key Trends, Opportunities and Uncertainties
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from our operations. Our primary uses of cash to date have been conducting R&D, acquiring Oncimmune in 2023, raising capital, building infrastructure, developing intellectual property, hiring personnel and providing general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have funded our operations primarily through private placements of our convertible preferred stock, convertible notes and funds received pursuant to our license agreements. As of December 31, 2025, we had raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.6 billion from these financings, and had cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities of $216.7 million.

We have incurred operating losses in each year since our inception. Our net losses were $219.3 million and $274.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.3 billion. We expect our expenses and operating losses will increase substantially as we:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• accelerate the development of our AI/ML-driven multiomics platform that seeks to identify the early biological signals of disease;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expand our commercial and data infrastructure to support future launch of multiple blood-based cancer detection tests;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• further advance our R&D programs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• seek to identify additional indications;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expand commercial and operational personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintain, expand, enforce, defend and protect our intellectual property portfolio and provide reimbursement of third-party expenses related to our patent portfolio; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• seek regulatory approvals for any future product candidates for which we successfully complete clinical trials.

Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of regulatory approvals and R&D activities.

Based upon our current operating plans, we believe that the estimated net proceeds from the Business Combination, together with our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term and marketable securities, will be sufficient to fund our operations into 2028. Based upon our current operating plans, and transactions executed through the date that our financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus are issued, and excluding the estimated net proceeds from the Business Combination, we do not believe that we will have sufficient funds to meet our obligations within the next twelve months. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we expect. If we are unable to raise sufficient funding, we may be unable to continue to operate in the long term.

If we obtain regulatory approval for our product or product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Accordingly, until such time as we can generate significant revenue from sales of our product and any product candidates, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, including the Business Combination, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses, royalty financings and other similar arrangements. See "*Liquidity and Capital Resources.*" However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market current or future product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

*Exact Sciences License Agreement* 

In August 2025, we signed an exclusive license agreement with Exact Sciences to advance the commercialization of our blood-based screening test for colorectal cancer. The terms of the license agreement included a $75.0 million upfront payment received in November 2025 related to partial consideration of rights and licenses granted and include up to $700.0 million future milestone payments upon the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones, and up to $20.0 million of mutually agreed development costs per year over a three year period.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
In August 2025, we also entered into a Convertible Promissory Note Purchase Agreement with Exact Sciences, pursuant to which we issued a senior unsecured convertible promissory note with an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million. The convertible note with Exact Sciences bears interest at 5% per annum and matures in August 2030. The convertible promissory note with Exact Sciences will automatically convert into shares of our common stock on the date that, following the closing of the Business Combination, the volume-weighted average sales price over a period of 10 consecutive trading days first exceeds 1.5 times the price per share for common stock sold in the PIPE Financing.

*Roche License* 

In November 2025, we signed an exclusive license and option agreement with Roche Sequencing Solutions, Inc. ("Roche Sequencing") The agreement grants Roche Sequencing both (i) an exclusive option to obtain an exclusive, royalty bearing, sublicensable (subject to certain restrictions) license to certain our intellectual property to exploit kitted assays for cancer screening, including for colorectal cancer and lung cancer, outside the U.S. and (ii) a preferred partner right to negotiate a definitive agreement to offer centralized testing services for cancer screening outside of the U.S.

We may receive up to $100.0 million in future milestone payments, as well as royalties on non-U.S. test sales that range from a low single-digits to mid-teens, depending on sales of the Licensed Products. The Company may also receive up to $24.0 million in SBX research and development related milestones payments.

In November 2025, we also issued and sold to Roche Holdings, Inc. ("Roche Holdings") a convertible promissory note with an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million. The convertible promissory note with Roche Holdings bears interest at 5% per annum and matures in May 2027. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the convertible promissory note with Roche Holdings will automatically convert into shares of New Freenome common stock at a price per share equal to 1.2 times the price per share of common stock sold in the PIPE Financing.

*Oncimmune* 

In May 2023, we acquired Oncimmune Ltd. and its subsidiary, Oncimmune Europe GmbH (collectively "Oncimmune"), a global immunodiagnostics developer with a commercial product, EarlyCDT Lung, which is a blood test that detects the elevated levels of autoantibodies generated by the body's immune system of patients in the earliest stages of lung cancer. The acquisition of Oncimmune provided us with clinical and commercial resources to complement our frontline screening efforts. Oncimmune's pipeline of autoantibody targets for other cancer indications is anticipated to augment our multiomics platform with additional non-tumor-derived signals to capture a more comprehensive view of the tumor microenvironment.

#### Components of Results of Operations

#### Revenue
We recognize license and collaboration revenue in the U.S. from our exclusive license agreement with Exact Sciences whereby the Company transferred development, data, and manufacturing licenses.

We also generate revenue from the sale and distribution of EarlyCDT Lung test kits in the UK and globally, revenue from royalties on the EarlyCDT Lung tests performed, and revenue from sale of EarlyCDT Lung tests plates through our U.K.-based subsidiary, Freenome Ltd.

In addition, we also derive revenue from the performance of diagnostic and research services using our proprietary multiomics platform under a Research Services Agreement with a related party.

In the future, we may generate revenue from future collaboration or license agreements we may enter into with respect to our current or future product candidates, as well as product sales from any approved product. Our ability to generate product revenue will depend on the successful development and eventual commercialization of any current or future products. If we fail to complete preclinical and clinical development of our current or future products or fail to successfully commercialize our products, our ability to generate future revenues and our results of operations and financial position would be adversely affected.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Operating Expenses
*Cost of services* 

Cost of services reflects the aggregate costs incurred in delivering our products and services and is composed of material and service costs including personnel costs, cost of consumables, kits, contract maintenance, labor, and freight associated with the service and other revenue. Our cost of services will increase with successful commercialization of our products.

*Research and Development Expenses* 

R&D has been, and will continue to be, central to our business model. Our R&D expenses to date have been primarily attributable to the development of our next-generation blood tests for early cancer detection, development of our multiomics platform, and clinical validation of our early colorectal cancer detection test. Our R&D expenses primarily include salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation expenses, direct research and development expenses (testing cost, pre-clinical and clinical trial costs including external R&D expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties), materials, laboratory supplies and equipment, information technology (including cloud computing and data storage, equipment and computer hardware costs, and software related expenses), facility costs (including rent, depreciation and amortization, repairs and maintenance and other facility related expenses), consulting, contractor costs, along with other expenses.

Payments, including non-refundable advance payments, made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in R&D activities are deferred and recognized as an expense in the period in which the related goods are received or services are rendered. Costs to develop our technology capabilities are recorded as R&D expenses unless they meet the criteria to be capitalized as internal-use software costs.

We do not capitalize pre-launch inventory costs until we obtain premarket regulatory approval for our diagnostic tests and future economic benefits are expected to be realized. Until premarket regulatory approval is obtained, materials, equipment, and validation costs associated with our diagnostic workflow process that do not have an alternative future use are expensed as R&D costs.

We accrue and expense clinical and pre-clinical trial activities performed by third parties based upon the actual work completed, in accordance with agreements established with our service providers.

We have not reported program costs because we have not historically tracked or recorded R&D expenses on a program-by-program basis. We do not allocate indirect costs to specific product development programs because these costs are deployed across multiple programs and our technology platform and, as such, are not separately classified.

We expect our R&D expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to conduct our ongoing R&D activities, advance our technology and programs and conduct any future clinical trials.

The timelines and costs of R&D activities are uncertain and can vary significantly for our product and any product candidate and development program due to the inherently unpredictable nature of preclinical and clinical development. We anticipate we will make determinations as to which programs to pursue and how much funding to direct to each program on an ongoing basis in response to preclinical and clinical results, regulatory developments and ongoing assessments as to each program's commercial potential.

Our future development costs may vary significantly based on various factors such as timely and successful completion of preclinical studies and ongoing and future clinical trials, positive results from our current and future clinical trials, receipt of marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities, establishment and maintenance of arrangements with third parties, intellectual property updates and continued acceptable safety, tolerability and efficacy profile of any current and future product candidates that we may develop following approval.

A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of any current or future product candidate could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. For example, if the FDA, the European Medicines Agency (the "EMA") or another regulatory authority were to require us to conduct clinical trials beyond those that we anticipate would be required for the completion of clinical development of a product candidate, or if we experience significant delays in our clinical trials due to slower than expected patient enrollment or other reasons, we would be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
*General and Administrative Expenses* 

Our general and administrative ("G&A") expenses primarily consist of costs for our executive, accounting and finance, legal, human resources, marketing, and other administrative support functions. These expenses consist principally of personnel costs, including salaries, bonuses, fringe benefits, stock-based compensation expenses, and travel expenses, as well as professional services fees such as consulting, audit, tax, and legal fees, and general corporate costs and allocated overhead expenses.

We anticipate that our G&A expenses will increase in future periods as we incur additional costs to support the growth of our business and expand our infrastructure, and as a result of commercialization activities if any of our diagnostic test candidates receive marketing approval. We also anticipate increased expenses related to accounting, audit, legal, regulatory, and tax-related services, costs associated with maintaining compliance with the Nasdaq Global Market ("Nasdaq") and SEC requirements, director and officer insurance premiums, investor relations and other costs associated with operating as a public company.

*Other Income (Expense), Net* 

Other income (expense), net consists primarily of interest earned on our short-term investments and marketable securities and interest incurred on our convertible notes.

*Revenue* 

Revenue increased by $27.5 million to $30.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, from $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase is primary attributable to collaboration revenue of $27.1 million related to development, data, and manufacturing licenses that were transferred to Exact Sciences upon receiving anti-trust clearance in 2025.

Revenue during the year ended December 31, 2025 also includes service and other revenue of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $1.4 million from the sale and distribution of EarlyCDT Lung test kits in the UK and globally through our U.K.-based subsidiary, an increase of $0.8 million from revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $1.1 million from royalties on the EarlyCDT Lung tests performed through our U.K.-based subsidiary, a decrease of $0.1 million from revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $0.5 million from sale of EarlyCDT Lung tests plates through its U.K.-based subsidiary, an increase of $0.2 million from revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024; and

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $0.3 million from the performance of diagnostic and research services under a research and service agreement with Roche, a decrease of $0.5 million from revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024.

*Cost of Services* 

Cost of services decreased by $0.7 million to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, from $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by a $0.9 million reduction in the costs of diagnostic and research services using our proprietary multiomics platform, partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in cost from the distribution of EarlyCDT tests and services through our U.K.-based subsidiary.

*Research and Development Expenses* 

R&D expenses are comprised of the following (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Year Ended** <br>**December 31,**  | **Year Ended** <br>**December 31,**  | **Change**  |

| Other | 1450  | 2715  | -47%  |
|  | $197117  | $225749  | -13% |

---

R&D expenses decreased by $28.6 million, from $225.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to $197.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

This decrease was primarily attributable to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $16.7 million decrease in direct research and development costs, primarily due to a reduction in clinical trial costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $10.6 million decrease in personnel related expenses, including salaries and benefits and stock-based compensation, due to reduced headcount and compensation costs from a reduction in force during the year ended December 31, 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $3.8 million decrease in consulting and contractor expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $2.0 million decrease in materials, laboratory supplies and equipment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $1.8 million decrease in information technology; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $1.3 million decrease in other expenses.

These reductions were partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $7.5 million increase in facility, depreciation and amortization expenses is primarily related to the amortization of leasehold improvements, which is due to the higher costs associated with our headquarters and laboratory facilities.

*General and Administrative Expenses* 

G&A expenses are comprised of the following (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Year Ended December 31,**  | **Year Ended December 31,**  | **Change**  |
|  | **2025** | **2024** | $**%**  |
| Salaries and benefits | $25804  | $31121  | -17%  |
| Consulting and contractor  | 14685  | 13358  | 10%  |
| Stock-based compensation | 5314  | 13367  | -60%  |
| Information technology  | 4748  | 3859  | 23%  |
| Facility, depreciation and amortization  | 2693  | 2763  | -3%  |
| Other expenses | 1573  | 2074  | -24%  |
|  | $54817  | $66542  | -18% |

---

G&A expenses decreased by $11.7 million from $66.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to $54.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The decrease in G&A expenses was primarily attributable to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $13.3 million decrease in personnel related expenses, including Salaries and benefits and Stock-based compensation, due to reduced headcount and compensation costs from a reduction in force during the year ended December 31, 2024 and the departure of our former chief executive officer in September 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $0.5 million in other expenses; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $0.1 million in facilities, depreciation, and amortization expenses related to our office buildings.

This overall decrease was partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $1.3 million increase in consulting and contractor costs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $0.9 million increase in information technology related expenses.

*Interest and Investment Income, Net* 

Interest and investment income, net, decreased $10.7 million, from $17.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in interest income from lower short-term investments and marketable securities.

*Interest expense* 

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily reflects the interest expense and amortization of debt discount on the convertible promissory note with Roche, and the issuance costs and interest expense associated with the convertible promissory note with Exact Sciences.

#### Liquidity and Capital Resources

#### Sources of Liquidity
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we further advance our R&D programs, prepare for potential regulatory submissions, and commercialize tests that receive premarket regulatory approval, if any. Further, upon the completion of the Business Combination, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. From our inception through December 31, 2025, we have received aggregate gross proceeds of $1.6 billion from the sale of our convertible preferred stock in private placements, convertible notes and revenue or cost-sharing from our strategic collaborations.

As described above, in August 2025, we signed an exclusive license agreement with Exact Sciences to advance the commercialization of our blood-based screening test for colorectal cancer. The terms of the license agreement include a $75 million upfront payment related to partial consideration of rights and license granted, up to $700.0 million payments upon the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones, and up to $20.0 million of mutually agreed development costs per year over a three year period.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Also as described above, in November 2025, we signed an exclusive license and option agreement with Roche Sequencing. We may receive up to $100.0 million in milestone payments as well as royalties on non-U.S. test sales that range from a low single-digits to mid-teens, depending on sales of the Licensed Products. The Company may also receive up to $24.0 million in future milestone payments in SBX research and development related milestones. In November 2025, we also issued and sold to Roche Holdings a convertible promissory note with an aggregate principal amount of $75 million (see "*Contractual Obligations and Commitments*" below).

#### Future Funding Requirements
As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities of $216.7 million. Based upon our current operating plans, we believe that the estimated net proceeds from the Business Combination and PIPE Financing, together with our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities, will be sufficient to fund our operations into 2028. Based on our current operating plan and transactions executed through the date that our financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus are issued, and excluding the estimated net proceeds from the Business Combination, we do not believe that we will have sufficient funds to meet our obligations within the next twelve months. Our forecast for the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could vary materially. Additionally, the process of conducting preclinical studies and testing products in clinical trials is costly, and the timing of progress and expenses in these studies and trials is uncertain. We may need to raise substantial additional capital in the future.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the type, number, scope, progress, expansions, results, costs and timing of, discovery, preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product and any product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our current and future product pipeline;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the terms and timing of establishing and maintaining license, collaboration and other similar arrangements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the legal costs of obtaining, maintaining and enforcing our patents and other intellectual property rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our efforts to enhance operational systems and hire additional personnel to satisfy our obligations as a public company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the costs associated with hiring additional personnel and consultants as our development and commercial activities increase;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the costs and timing of establishing or securing sales and marketing capabilities if any current and future product pipeline is approved;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to achieve sufficient market acceptance, coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payers and adequate market share and revenue for any approved products; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• costs associated with any products or technologies that we may in-license or acquire.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue to support our cost structure, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, potentially including licenses, royalty financings, collaborations and other similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be or could be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through licenses, collaborations or other similar arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs, current or future product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us and/or may reduce the value of our common stock. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and on our ability to pursue our business plans and

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
strategies. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market our product and any product candidates even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product candidates ourselves.

#### Cash Flows

#### Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
The following table sets forth a summary of the net cash flow activity for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

*Operating Activities* 

For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $110.7 million resulting from the net loss of $219.3 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $36.4 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $72.3 million. Non-cash items primarily included depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of right-of-use assets, and non-cash interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs, offset by net accretion and amortization of investments in marketable securities. Net cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $72.3 million primarily consisted of increases in deferred revenue, other long-term liabilities, operating lease liabilities and accrued compensation and other related benefits, partially offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a decrease in accounts payable.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $196.4 million resulting from the net loss of $274.4 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $38.3 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $39.7 million. Non-cash items primarily included depreciation and amortization, amortization of right-of-use assets and stock-based compensation expense, offset by net accretion and amortization of investments in marketable securities. Net cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $39.7 million primarily consisted of increases in operating lease liabilities and accounts payable and decreases in accounts and other receivables and prepaid expenses and other current assets, offset by decreases in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and accrued compensation and other related benefits.

*Investing Activities* 

Net cash provided by investing activities was $21.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, and consisted primarily of the net proceeds from the sales, maturity and purchase of marketable securities of $42.4 million, offset by $21.1 million used for the purchase of property and equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities was $52.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, and consisted primarily of $60.4 million used for the purchase of property and equipment, offset by net proceeds from the maturity and purchase of marketable securities of $7.4 million.

*Financing Activities* 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $100.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 and consisted primarily of proceeds from the convertible promissory notes with Exact Sciences and Roche. During the year ended December 31, 2025, $0.8 million of offering costs were paid.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $264.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 and consisted primarily of proceeds from the issuance of our Series F convertible preferred stock.

#### Contractual Obligations and Commitments
*Convertible Notes* 

As described above, the $50 million convertible promissory note with Exact Sciences matures in August 2030. The convertible promissory note with Exact Sciences will automatically convert into shares of our common stock upon the

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
date that, following the Business Combination, the volume-weighted average sales price over a period of 10 consecutive trading days first exceeds 1.5 times the price per share of common stock of sold in the PIPE Financing (the "Exact Automatic Conversion Date"). The convertible promissory note will convert into approximately 3,333,333 shares of New Freenome common stock, at an assumed conversion price of $15.00, at Exact Science's option or upon the Exact Automatic Conversion Date.

As described above, the $75 million convertible promissory note agreement with Roche Holdings matures in May 2027 and will automatically convert into shares of New Freenome common stock following the Business Combination at a price per share equal to 1.2 times the price per share of common stock sold in the PIPE Financing. Assuming accrued interest through May 31, 2026, the convertible promissory note will automatically convert into approximately 6,420,139 shares of New Freenome common stock, at an assumed conversion price of $12.00, in connection with the Business Combination and PIPE Financing.

*Leases* 

Our lease portfolio consists primarily of operating leases for our current corporate headquarters, laboratory facilities, and warehouse facilities, with lease terms ranging from 1 to 11 years. Under the terms of the leases, as of December 31, 2025, our lease obligations consist of $335.7 million in payments through March 31, 2035.

*Purchase Commitments* 

As of December 31, 2025, we have entered into a non-cancellable cloud services agreement and committed to purchase cloud computing services totaling $119.2 million through January 31, 2029.

Our other non-cancellable unconditional purchase commitments with a remaining term over one year were $16.4 million as of December 31, 2025.

#### License and Collaboration Agreements
For a detailed description of our license and collaboration agreements, see the section titled "*Business Key Collaborations.*"

#### Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2, *"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies"* to our annual financial statements appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical for fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.

#### Stock-Based Compensation
We measure stock-based awards granted to employees and directors based on their fair value on the date of the grant and recognize compensation expense for those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. For stock-based awards with service-based vesting conditions, we recognize compensation expense using the straight-line method. To date, the vesting of our restricted stock units has been conditioned on the satisfaction of two vesting requirements: a time-based requirement and a Liquidity Event Requirement ("LER"). Following the closing of the Business Combination, any restricted stock units that we grant are expected to be subject to a time-based vesting requirement only. We recognize stock-based compensation expense for awards with a performance-based vesting condition over the requisite service period using the accelerated attribution

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
method if the performance condition is deemed probable of being met. The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires inputs based on certain subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility, the expected term of the option, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the expected term of the option and our expected dividend yield. The fair value of each restricted stock unit award is estimated on the date of grant based on the fair value of our common stock on that same date.

*Determination of the Fair Value of Common Stock* 

As there has been no public market for our common stock to date, the estimated fair value of our common stock has been determined by our board of directors as of the date of each option grant with the assistance of management. The approach to estimating the fair value our common stock is consistent with the methods outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Accounting and Valuation Guide, *Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation* (the "Practice Aid").

In accordance with the Practice Aid, our common stock valuations were prepared using the hybrid method to estimate our equity value. The hybrid method is a probability-weighted expected return method (the "PWERM") where the equity value in one or more of the scenarios is calculated using an option pricing method (the "OPM"). The PWERM is a scenario-based analysis that estimates the value per share of the common stock based on the probability-weighted present value of expected future equity values for the common stock, under various possible future liquidity event scenarios, considering the rights and preferences of each class of shares, and discounted for a lack of marketability. Under the hybrid method, an OPM was utilized to determine the fair value of the common stock in certain of the PWERM scenarios (capturing situations where our development path and future liquidity events were difficult to forecast), and potential exit events were explicitly modeled in the other PWERM scenarios. A discount for lack of marketability was applied to the value derived under each scenario to account for a lack of access to an active public market to estimate the common stock fair value. The valuations resulted in a valuation of our common stock of $1.77 per share as of August 15, 2025 and $3.96 per share as of May 31, 2024.

In determining the estimated fair value of our common stock as of August 15, 2025 and May 31, 2024 based on the PWERM, the equity value, on a marketable basis, was estimated to be $576.9 million and $1.4 billion, respectively. The equity value on August 15, 2025 was derived from three different scenarios: (1) an OPM, used to capture a range of potential future outcomes, (2) discrete public exit via SPAC, as contemplated under a letter of intent at the time, and (3) dissolution with proceeds to common shareholders. The equity value on May 31, 2024 was derived from four different scenarios, an OPM and three scenarios with discrete future IPO scenarios.

Under the PWERM, the fair value of common stock is estimated based on likely liquidity event scenarios. For each identified liquidity scenario it is necessary to estimate the timing to liquidity event, future enterprise value, probability of occurrence, and risk-adjusted discount rate. The valuation analyses estimated the future enterprise values utilizing the guideline public company method or indication of interest under the letter of intent, and information provided by our management. The timing to each liquidity event and the probability of occurrence were estimated based on information provided by our management and outside research. The risk-adjusted discount rates were estimated based on market data and outside research of required rates of return for companies at a similar stage of development and risk factors. The future enterprise values under each scenario were allocated to the various equity classes based on the liquidation preferences and conversion rights of each equity class. The future values for each equity class under each scenario were discounted to a present value at the selected risk-adjusted discount rate. The present values under each scenario were probability-weighted to determine the value of common stock before applicable discounts.

The OPM, specifically the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, assumptions included the present equity value of the Company, estimated using the guideline public company method, and discounted debt-free cash flow method, expected date of liquidity event, discount rate, volatility and exercise price.

Under the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow ("DCF") method, forecast cash flows are discounted to the present value at a risk-adjusted discount rate. The valuation analyses determine discrete free cash flows over several years based on forecast financial information provided by our management and a terminal value for the residual period beyond the discrete forecast, which are discounted at our estimated weighted average cost of capital to estimate our enterprise value.

Under the market approach, the guideline public company method was considered. The guideline public company method involves selecting publicly traded companies with similar financial and operating characteristics as our

------

Company, and calculating valuation multiples based on the guideline public company's financial information and market data. Based on the observed valuation multiples, an appropriate multiple was selected to apply to our financial statistics.

After determining an estimate of the fair value of the enterprise, the valuation analyses allocated the enterprise value among the equity classes outstanding at each valuation date utilizing the OPM. The OPM requires inputs for the exercise price, term, expected volatility and risk-free rate. The exercise prices were calculated based on the enterprise values at which the equity classes either begin or stop participating in the next incremental enterprise value, which were determined based on the liquidation preferences and conversion rights of each equity class. The term was the estimated time to a liquidity event, such as a sale or merger or IPO, which was determined based on information provided by our management and outside research. The expected volatility for the enterprise was estimated based on a historical analysis of publicly traded companies with similar financial and operating characteristics as our company and consideration of the relative differences between our company and the selected comparable companies, such as stage of development, earning margins, leverage, and other risk factors. The risk-free rates were based on U.S. treasury securities with terms to maturity consistent with the estimated time to a liquidity event.

The valuations also applied a discount for lack of marketability with respect to the OPM and SPAC scenarios in the August 15, 2025 valuation and in all scenarios in the May 31, 2024 valuation, to adjust for the fact that a share of common stock is a minority, non-marketable interest. The discounts are determined based on qualitative and quantitative analyses.

The assumptions underlying these valuations were subjective and represented management's best estimates, which involved inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment. As a result, if we had used significantly different assumptions or estimates, the fair value of our common stock and our stock-based compensation expense could be different.

Once a public trading market for our common stock has been established in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, it will no longer be necessary for our board of directors to estimate the fair value of our common stock in connection with our accounting for granted stock options and other such awards we may grant, as the fair value of our common stock will be determined based on the quoted market price of our common stock.

*Grant of Stock-Based Award* 

The following table sets forth by the grant date the number of shares subject to options and restricted stock units granted between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025, the per share exercise price of the options, the fair value of common stock per share on each grant date, and the per share estimated fair value of the options:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The per share exercise price and per share estimated fair value of options are prior to modifications as a result of the Repricing discussed below

No options or restricted stock units have been granted subsequent to October 24, 2025.

*Option Repricing* 

On October 24, 2025, our board of directors and compensation committee approved an option repricing (the "Repricing") of outstanding stock options held by certain current employees. The exercise price of outstanding stock options held by eligible employees with an exercise price per share greater than $2.39 are to be repriced to $2.39, subject to the eligible employee remaining in service with the Company through a retention period. The Repricing was communicated to employees during 2026. The estimated incremental stock compensation cost of approximately $1.9 million, calculated using a lattice model will be recognized over the retention period.

#### Revenue Recognition
For arrangements or transactions determined to be within the scope ASC 606, we evaluate the term of the arrangement and recognize revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services in a contract for an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For contracts with customers, we apply the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (1) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (2) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (3) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognition of revenue when (or as) we satisfy each performance obligation.

Our license and collaboration revenue includes revenue recognized under our collaboration and license agreement with Exact Sciences. As part of the accounting for the license and collaboration arrangement, we use judgment to determine: (a) the number of performance obligations based on the determination under step (2) above; (b) the transaction price under step (3) above; (c) the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract for the allocation of transaction price in step (4) above; and (d) the contract term and pattern of satisfaction of the performance obligations under step (4) above. We also use judgment to determine whether milestones or other variable consideration, except for royalties, should be included in the transaction price as described further below. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, for which we recognize revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied. We evaluate the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition.

At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments, we evaluate whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within our control or the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. We evaluate factors such as the scientific, clinical, regulatory, commercial and other risks that must be overcome to achieve the particular milestone in making this assessment. There is considerable judgment involved in determining whether it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, we reevaluate the probability of achievement of all milestones subject to constraint and, if necessary, adjusts our estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect revenues and earnings or losses in the period of adjustment.

For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on sales thresholds, and for which the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, we recognize revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). To date, we have not recognized any royalty revenue resulting from collaboration and license agreement with Exact Sciences.

The accounting for these arrangements requires us to develop estimates and assumptions that require judgment. These estimates may include items such as forecasted revenues or costs, development timelines, discount rates, and probabilities of technical and regulatory success. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.

#### Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status
We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. We may take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act for the implementation of new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and as a result of this election, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. We may take advantage of these exemptions up until the time that we are no longer an "emerging growth company."

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of PCSC's initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" under the rules of the SEC, which means, among other things, (1) the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the prior June 30th and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

We also expect to remain a "smaller reporting company" as defined in the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies until for so long as either (i) our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenues are less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

#### Recent Accounting Pronouncements
A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 2, *"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies*" to our audited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

#### Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We have not, to date, been exposed to material market risks given our early stage of operations. Upon commencing commercial operations, we expect to be exposed to foreign currency translation and transaction risks and potentially other market risks.

*Foreign Currency Risk* 

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to transactions in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, which is our functional currency. Our foreign subsidiaries, revenue and operating expenses expose us to foreign currency exchange risk, which to date have not been material.

*Interest Rate Risk* 

The market interest risk in our financial positions represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $216.7 million, consisting of interest-bearing money market funds and marketable securities, for which the fair value would be affected by change in U.S. interest rates. However, due to the short-term maturities and the low-risk profile of our investments, an immediate 10% change in the interest rate would not have a material effect on the fair value of our cash equivalents and short-term investments.

As of December 31, 2025, interest rates on our convertible notes are fixed.

*Inflation Risk* 

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Given our early stage of operations, if our costs become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we will not be able to fully offset such higher costs. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.

#### EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
*Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in this section of this proxy statement/prospectus to "Freenome" refers to Freenome prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and to New Freenome and its consolidated subsidiaries following the Business Combination.* 

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on Freenome's current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding New Freenome's future compensation programs. The actual amount and form of compensation and the compensation policies and practices that Freenome adopts in the future may differ materially from currently planned programs as summarized in this discussion.

As an emerging growth company, we have opted to comply with the executive compensation disclosure rules applicable to "smaller reporting companies," as such term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. The compensation provided to Freenome's named executive officers (the "***NEOs***") for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 is detailed in the 2025 Summary Compensation Table and accompanying footnotes and narrative that follow. Unless otherwise stated, all references in the following sections and tables to compensation earned, including stock options and restricted stock units ("***RSUs***"), relate to compensation provided by Freenome. Freenome's NEOs for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which consist of each person who served as Freenome's principal executive officer during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and the next two most highly compensated executive officers (other than the principal executive officers) serving as executive officers as of December 31, 2025, are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Aaron Elliott, Ph.D., its current Chief Executive Officer, effective as of April 1, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Riley Ennis, its co-founder and Chief Product Officer and former principal executive officer from September 2024 to March 31, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cheng-Ho (Jimmy) Lin, M.D., Ph.D., MHS, its Chief Scientific Officer; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Linh H. Le, its Chief Financial Officer.

To date, the compensation of the NEOs has consisted of a combination of base salary, cash bonuses and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options and RSUs. The NEOs, like all full-time employees, are eligible to participate in Freenome's health and welfare benefit plans. Following the Business Combination, New Freenome intends to develop an executive compensation program that is designed to align compensation with New Freenome's business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling the combined company to attract, motivate and retain individuals who contribute to the long-term success of New Freenome.

#### 2025 Summary Compensation Table
The following table sets forth information regarding compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to, Freenome's NEOs during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The amounts reported represent cash incentive bonuses for performance during the year ended December 31, 2025 For more information on these bonuses, see the description of the annual performance bonuses under "2025 Bonuses" below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) The amounts reported represent commuting expenses, including travel, lodging and meal expenses, reimbursed by Freenome for travel between the applicable NEO's residence and the Company's headquarters.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Dr. Elliott commenced employment with Freenome on April 1, 2025. The amount reported represents his actual base salary earned during 2025. His annualized base salary for 2025 was $685,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) Mr. Ennis served as Freenome's principal executive officer from September 2024 through March 31, 2025, in addition to serving as Freenome's Chief Product Officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) Mr. Le commenced employment with Freenome on May 19, 2025. The amount reported represents his actual base salary earned during 2025. His annualized base salary for 2025 was $485,000.

#### Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table
*2025 Base Salaries* 

Freenome's NEOs each receive a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to Freenome. The base salary payable to each NEO is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive's skill set, experience, role and responsibilities. Base salaries are generally reviewed annually, typically in connection with Freenome's annual performance review process, approved by the Freenome Board or the compensation committee of the Freenome Board (the "***compensation committee***") and may be adjusted from time to time to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience.

For fiscal year 2025, the annual base salaries for Dr. Elliott, Mr. Ennis, Dr. Lin and Mr. Le were $685,000, $546,000, $530,000 and $485,000, respectively.

*2025 Annual Bonuses* 

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, each NEO was eligible to earn an annual bonus from Freenome based on the achievement of pre-determined corporate performance metrics related to product development, commercial, operational and customer experience, value generation and operational performance goals and individual performance objectives. The 2025 annual bonus targets for Dr. Elliott, Mr. Ennis, Dr. Lin and Mr. Le were 100%, 50%, 40% and 50% of their respective base salaries. The target annual bonuses and actual bonus amounts for Dr. Elliott and Mr. Le for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 were pro-rated based on their start dates with Freenome.

Following review and determinations of corporate and individual performance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Freenome Board determined that the corporate goals were achieved at 100% of target and that the individual performance goals for each of Dr. Elliott, Mr. Ennis, Dr. Lin and Mr. Le were achieved at 100%, 120%, 100% and 100% of target, respectively. The annual cash bonus paid to each of our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 is set forth in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column of the "2025 Summary Compensation Table" above.

*Equity Incentive Compensation* 

Freenome believes that equity grants provide executives with a strong link to long-term performance, create an ownership culture and help to align the interests of its executives and its stockholders. In addition, Freenome believes that equity grants promote executive retention because they incentivize executive officers to remain in its employment during the vesting period. Accordingly, the Freenome Board or its compensation committee periodically review the equity incentive compensation of its executives and may grant equity incentive awards to them from time to time. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the NEOs were each granted stock options that vest over four years from the vesting start date and RSUs that are subject to both time and performance-based vesting. The time-based vesting for the RSUs occurs over four years from the vesting start date and the performance-based vesting applicable to the RSUs will be satisfied on the earlier of (1) six months after the Closing and (2) March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which the Closing occurs. Each NEO's outstanding equity awards as of December 31, 2025 are set forth in the "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal 2025 Year-End" table below.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
*401(k) Plan* 

Freenome currently maintains a tax-qualified 401(k) retirement savings plan (the "***401(k) Plan***") for its employees, including its NEOs, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Freenome's NEOs are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. The 401(k) Plan is intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "***Code***"), and contains a cash or deferred feature that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code. Freenome believes that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings through its 401(k) Plan adds to the overall desirability of its executive compensation package and further incentivizes its employees, including its NEOs, in accordance with its compensation policies. Freenome did not provide matching contributions under the 401(k) plan in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Other than the 401(k) Plan, Freenome does not provide any qualified or non-qualified retirement or deferred compensation benefits to its employees, including its NEOs.

#### Employment Arrangements in Place Prior to the Business Combination for Named Executive Officers
*Aaron Elliott, Ph.D.* 

On January 7, 2026, Freenome entered into an amended and restated offer letter with Dr. Elliott (the "***Elliott Offer Letter***"). Under the Elliott Offer Letter, Dr. Elliott is entitled to receive an annual base salary and an annual target bonus and received an initial stock option (the "***Initial Option***") and RSU award (the "***Initial RSU Award***" and together with the Initial Option, the "***Initial Equity Awards***") in connection with his hire. The Elliott Offer Letter further provides Dr. Elliott with anti-dilution protection for his Initial Equity Awards such that, following a "financing" (as defined in the Elliott Offer Letter) and subject to Dr. Elliott's continued employment with Freenome and the approval of the Freenome Board, Dr. Elliott is entitled to receive an additional stock option (the "***Anti-Dilution Option***") and RSU award (the "***Anti-Dilution RSU Award***" and together with the Anti-Dilution Option, the "***Anti-Dilution Equity Awards***") such that the aggregate number of shares underlying the Initial Option, the Anti-Dilution Option and any other options to purchase Freenome Common Shares granted to Dr. Elliott prior to the grant of the Anti-Dilution Option will be equal to 0.5% of Freenome's fully-diluted capitalization as of the closing of the financing and the aggregate number of shares underlying the Initial RSU Award, the Anti-Dilution RSU Award and any other RSUs granted to Dr. Elliott prior to the grant of the Anti-Dilution RSU Award will be equal to 0.5% of Freenome's fully-diluted capitalization as of the closing of the financing. Dr. Elliott is also eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans, subject to the terms of such plans.

In addition, the Elliott Offer Letter provides that, in the event that Dr. Elliott's employment is terminated by Freenome for reasons other than "cause" or by Dr. Elliott for "good reason" (each as defined in the Elliott Offer Letter), in each case outside of the period beginning three months before and ending 12 months following a "change in control" (as defined in the Elliott Offer Letter), subject to Dr. Elliott's return of all Freenome property in his possession and his execution and delivery of an irrevocable general release of claims in Freenome's favor, he will be entitled to receive 12 months of his base salary. If Dr. Elliott's employment is terminated by Freenome for reasons other than cause, or by Dr. Elliott for good reason, in each case during the period beginning three months before and ending 12 months following a change in control, he will be entitled to receive (i) 18 months of his base salary and target bonus at the rate in effect at the time of his separation and (ii) 100% of the then-unvested shares subject to the Initial Option and the Anti-Dilution Option (if granted) will fully vest and 100% of and the then-unvested shares underlying the Initial RSU Award and the Anti-Dilution RSU Award (if granted) will be deemed to have satisfied the time-based vesting condition in full (the "***Acceleration Benefits***").

Upon a change in control, if the Initial Equity Awards and Anti-Dilution Equity Awards (if granted) are not assumed or substituted, then the Acceleration Benefits shall apply immediately prior to the closing of the change in control.

*Riley Ennis* 

On May 23, 2016, Freenome, Inc. entered into an offer letter with Mr. Ennis (the "***Ennis Offer Letter***"). Under the Ennis Offer Letter, Mr. Ennis is entitled to receive an annual base salary and an annual target bonus, and he is eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans, subject to the terms of such plans.

*Cheng-Ho (Jimmy) Lin, M.D., Ph.D., MHS* 

On March 22, 2019, Freenome entered into an offer letter with Dr. Lin (the "***Lin Offer Letter***"). Under the Lin Offer Letter, Dr. Lin is entitled to receive an annual base salary and an annual target bonus and received an initial stock option grant, and he is eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans, subject to the terms of such plans. Pursuant

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
to the Lin Offer Letter, Dr. Lin is also eligible to receive certain bonuses upon the achievement of certain clinical milestones. Specifically, Dr. Lin is eligible to receive (i) a cash bonus of $300,000, payable within 30 days of FDA approval and Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) coverage for Freenome's SimpleScreen CRC test, (ii) a cash bonus equal to $500,000, payable within 30 days of receiving favorable grade recommendations (Grade A or B) in the USPSTF guidelines and (iii) a cash bonus equal to $150,000, within 30 days of formally reporting favorable top line data.

In addition, the Lin Offer Letter provides that in the event Dr. Lin's employment is terminated by Freenome without "cause" or by Dr. Lin for "good reason" (each, as defined in the Lin Offer Letter), in each case during the three month period prior to or anytime following a "change in control" (as defined in the 2016 Plan), the vesting of 100% of all unvested equity awards then held by Dr. Lin will be accelerated.

*Linh H. Le* 

On May 13, 2025, Freenome entered into an offer letter with Mr. Le (the "***Le Offer Letter***"). Under the Le Offer Letter, Mr. Le is entitled to receive an annual base salary and an annual target bonus and received an initial stock option grant (the "***Le Initial Option***") and RSU award (the "***Le Initial RSU Award***"). Mr. Le is also eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans, subject to the terms of such plans.

The Le Offer Letter provides that in the event Mr. Le's employment is terminated by Freenome without "cause" or by Mr. Le for "good reason" (each as defined in the Le Offer Letter), subject to Mr. Le's return of all Freenome property in his possession and his execution and delivery of an irrevocable general release of claims in Freenome's favor, (i) he will be entitled to receive nine months of his base salary and target bonus at the rate in effect at the time of his separation (such payments shall cease if Mr. Le commences new employment, provided that Mr. Le shall receive no less than three months of severance payments) and (ii) the post-termination exercise period of the Le Initial Option will expire on the earlier to occur of two years from the date of such termination or the expiration date of the Le Initial Option (the "***Severance Benefits***"). If such a termination of employment occurs within one year of Mr. Le commencing employment with Freenome and outside of a "change in control" (as defined in the Le Offer Letter), then, in addition to the foregoing benefits, (i) the unvested shares subject to the Le Initial Option will vest at the rate of 1/48<sup>th</sup> per month from the date Mr. Le's employment commenced for each full month of employment completed and (ii) the portion of the Le Initial RSU Award that has not yet satisfied the time-based vesting condition shall satisfy such condition at the rate of 1/16<sup>th</sup> for each quarterly vesting date that has occurred from the date Mr. Le's employment commenced.

If Mr. Le's employment is terminated by Freenome without cause or by Mr. Le for good reason, in each case during the period beginning three months before and ending 12 months following a change in control, then, in addition to the Severance Benefits and subject to Mr. Le's return of all Freenome property in his possession and execution and delivery of an irrevocable general release of claims in Freenome's favor, (i) 100% of the then unvested shares subject to the Le Initial Option will fully vest and (ii) 100% of the shares subject to the Le Initial RSU Award shall be deemed to have satisfied the time-based vesting condition.

#### Executive Severance Plan
In connection with the Business Combination, the New Freenome Board plans to adopt an Executive Severance Plan (the "***Severance Plan***") to be effective as of the Closing, in which the NEOs, and certain other executives, will participate. The benefits provided under the Severance Plan will replace the severance provisions in such NEOs' offer letters, if any; provided, however, that in the event any such offer letter provides greater severance payments benefits than those set forth in the Severance Plan, the NEO will be entitled to receive the payments or benefits under such offer letter and will not be eligible to receive any payments or benefits under the Severance Plan.

#### Compensation Recovery Policy
In accordance with the requirements of the SEC and Nasdaq listing rules and in connection with the Business Combination, the PCSC Board will adopt a compensation recovery policy, which will become effective upon the Closing. The compensation recovery policy will provide that in the event that New Freenome is required to prepare a restatement of its financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under securities laws, New Freenome will seek to recover any incentive-based compensation that was based upon the attainment of a financial reporting measure and that was received by any current or former executive officer during the three-year period preceding the date that the restatement was required if such compensation would have exceeded the amount that the executive officer would have received based on the restated financial statements.

#### Additional Narrative Disclosure

#### Employee Benefit and Equity Compensation Plans

#### Freenome Holdings, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan
Freenome's 2016 Plan was initially adopted by the Freenome Board on May 20, 2016, was approved by Freenome's stockholders on May 23, 2016 and was most recently amended on January 26, 2024. The 2016 Plan allows for the grant of incentive stock options to Freenome's employees and employees of a "parent corporation" or "subsidiary corporation" thereof (as such terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code) and for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock unit awards and other stock-based awards to employees, directors and consultants of Freenome and its affiliates. Following the Closing, Freenome will not grant any further awards under the 2016 Plan, and all outstanding awards under the 2016 Plan will be cancelled and converted into awards under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan.

Under the 2016 Plan, Freenome reserved for issuance an aggregate of 75,297,697 Freenome Common Shares. Any stock award or any portion thereof that expires or otherwise terminates without all of the shares covered by such stock award having been issued or is settled in cash will not reduce (or otherwise offset) the number of Freenome Common Shares that may be available for issuance under the 2016 Plan. In addition, if any Freenome Common Shares issued pursuant to a stock award are forfeited back to or repurchased by Freenome because of the failure to meet a contingency or condition required to vest such shares in the participant, then the shares that are forfeited or repurchased will revert to and again become available for issuance under the 2016 Plan and any shares reacquired by Freenome in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations on a stock award or as consideration for the exercise or purchase price of a stock award will again become available for issuance under the 2016 Plan. The number of Freenome Common Shares reserved for issuance is subject to adjustment in the event of a "capitalization adjustment" (as defined in the 2016 Plan), and no more than 225,893,091 shares may be issued under the 2016 Plan pursuant to incentive stock options.

The 2016 Plan is administered by the Freenome Board or a committee appointed by it. The administrator of the 2016 Plan has full power to, among other things, select, from among the individuals eligible for awards, the individuals to whom awards will be granted, to accelerate the time at which a stock award may be exercised or vest, to amend the 2016 Plan and to determine the specific terms and conditions of each award, subject to the provisions of the 2016 Plan. Subject to applicable law, the Freenome Board may delegate to one or more officers the authority to grant stock awards under the 2016 Plan, subject to certain limitations and guidelines.

Stock options may be granted under the 2016 Plan. Except in the case of assumed or substituted awards, the exercise price per share of all options must equal at least 100% of the fair market value per share of Freenome's common stock Freenome Common Share on the date of grant. The term of a stock option may not exceed ten years. An incentive stock option granted to a participant who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Freenome's stock on the date of grant, or any subsidiary corporation, may not have a term in excess of five years and must have an exercise price of at least 110% of the fair market value per share of Freenome's common stock on the date of grant. The administrator of the 2016 Plan will determine the methods of payment of the exercise price of an option, which may include cash, shares or certain other property or other consideration acceptable to the plan administrator.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Restricted stock may be granted under the 2016 Plan. Restricted stock awards are grants of Freenome Common Shares that are subject to various restrictions, including restrictions on transferability and forfeitures provisions. Shares of restricted stock will vest, and the restrictions on such shares will lapse, in accordance with terms and conditions established by the administrator of the 2016 Plan.

Restricted stock units may be granted under the 2016 Plan. A restricted stock unit is an award that covers a number of Freenome Common Shares that may be settled upon vesting in cash, by the issuance of the underlying shares or a combination of both. The administrator of the 2016 Plan determines the terms and conditions of restricted stock units, including the number of units granted, the vesting criteria (which may include accomplishing specified performance criteria or continued service to Freenome) and the form and timing of payment, if any.

The 2016 Plan generally does not allow for the transfer or assignment of awards, other than, at the discretion of the administrator of the 2016 Plan, by the laws of descent and distribution and domestic relations orders, and only the recipient of an award may exercise such an award during his or her lifetime.

In the event of certain changes in our capitalization, the exercise prices of and the number of shares subject to outstanding options and the purchase price of and the numbers of shares subject to outstanding awards will be proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by the Freenome Board or Freenome's stockholders.

In the event of a "transaction" (as defined in the 2026 Plan and including a corporate transaction or a "change in control"), the administrator of the 2016 Plan may take one or more the following actions with respect to stock awards, contingent upon the closing or completion of the transaction: (i) arrange for surviving corporation or acquiring corporation to assume or continue outstanding stock awards or substitute a similar stock award for the stock award; (ii) arrange for the assignment of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by Freenome in respect of Freenome Common Shares issued pursuant to a stock award to the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation; (iii) accelerate vesting, in whole or part, of a stock award to a date prior to the effective time of a transaction, with such stock award terminating if not exercised at or prior to the effective time of the transaction; (iv) arrange for the lapse, in whole or in part, of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by Freenome with respect to a stock award; (v) cancel or arrange for the cancellation of a stock award to the extent not vested or exercised prior to the effective time of the transaction, without the payment of consideration; and (vi) make payment in such form as may be determined by the administrator of the 2016 Plan equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the value of the property the participant would have received upon the exercise of the stock award immediately prior to the effective time of the transaction over (B) any exercise price payable by such holder in connection with such exercise.

The Freenome Board may amend the 2016 Plan in any respect the Freenome Board deems necessary or advisable. Except as otherwise provided in the 2016 Plan or a stock award agreement, no amendment of the 2016 Plan will materially impair a participant's rights under an outstanding stock award without the participant's written consent. If required by applicable law and except as provided in the 2016 Plan in the case of capitalization adjustments, the administrator of the 2016 Plan will seek stockholder approval of any amendment of the 2016 Plan that (i) materially increases the number of Freenome Common Shares available for issuance under the 2016 Plan; (ii) materially expands the class of individuals eligible to receive stock awards under the 2016 Plan; (iii) materially increases the benefits accruing to participants under the 2016 Plan; (iv) materially reduces the price at which shares of common stock may be issued or purchased under the 2016 Plan; (v) materially extends the term of the 2016 Plan; or (vi) materially expands the types of stock awards available for issuance under the 2016 Plan. The administrator of the 2016 Plan is specifically permitted effect (A) the reduction of the exercise, purchase or strike price of any outstanding stock award; (B) the cancellation of any outstanding stock award and the grant in substitution therefor of a new stock award, cash and/or other valuable consideration; or (C) any other action that is treated as a repricing under GAAP.

As of December 31, 2025, options to purchase up to 29.5 million Freenome Common Shares at a weighted average exercise price of $3.19 per share and 14.5 million RSUs were outstanding under the 2016 Plan.

#### Senior Executive Cash Incentive Bonus Plan
In connection with the Business Combination, the New Freenome Board intends to adopt the Senior Executive Cash Incentive Bonus Plan (the "***Bonus Plan***"), subject to the effectiveness of the Closing. The Bonus Plan provides for cash bonus payments based upon company and individual performance targets established by our compensation committee. The payment targets will be related to financial and operational measures or objectives with respect to New Freenome (the "***Corporate Performance Goals***"), as well as individual performance objectives.

The compensation committee of the New Freenome Board may select Corporate Performance Goals from among the following: cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free cash flow); research and development, publication, clinical and/or regulatory milestones; revenue; corporate revenue; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; net income (loss) (either before or after interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization); changes in the market price of the New Freenome Common Stock; economic value-added; acquisitions or strategic transactions, including licenses, collaborations, joint ventures or promotion arrangements; operating income (loss); return on capital assets, equity or investment; stockholder returns; return on sales; gross or net profit levels; productivity; expense efficiency; margins; operating efficiency; customer satisfaction; working capital; earnings (loss) per share of New Freenome Common Stock; sales or market shares; operating income; net annual recurring revenue; or any other performance goal selected by the compensation committee of the New Freenome Board, any of which may be measured in absolute terms, as compared to any incremental increase, in terms of growth, as compared to results of a peer group, against the market as a whole, compared to applicable market indices and/or measured on a pre-tax or post-tax basis.

Each executive officer who is selected to participate in the Bonus Plan will have a target bonus opportunity set for each performance period. The bonus formulas will be adopted in each performance period by the compensation committee of the Freenome Board and communicated to each executive. The Corporate Performance Goals will be measured at the end of each performance period after our financial reports have been published or such other appropriate time as the compensation committee determines. If the Corporate Performance Goals and individual performance objectives are met, payments will be made as soon as practicable following the end of each performance period, but not later than 74 days after the end of the fiscal year in which such performance period ends. Subject to any rights contained in any agreement between the executive officer and New Freenome, an executive officer shall be required to be employed by us on the bonus payment date to be eligible to receive a bonus payment under the Bonus Plan. The Bonus Plan also permits the compensation committee of the New Freenome Board to approve additional bonuses to executive officers in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The amounts reported represents the fees each director received for their services to the Freenome Board during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The amounts reported represent the aggregate grant date fair value of stock options awarded to Freenome's non-employee directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, disregarding estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting. For a description of the assumptions used in determining these values, see Note 2 of Freenome's financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The amounts reported in this column reflect the accounting cost for the stock options and do not correspond to the actual economic value that may be received by the applicable non-employee director upon the exercise of the stock options or any sale of the underlying shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The amounts reported represent the aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs granted to Freenome's non-employee directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, disregarding estimated forfeitures related to time-based vesting conditions. For a description of the assumptions used in determining these values, see Note 2 of Freenome's financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The amounts reported in this column reflect the accounting cost for the RSUs and do not correspond to the actual economic value that may be received by Freenome's non-employee directors upon the vesting of the RSUs or any sale of the underlying shares. The RSUs are subject to both a time-based vesting condition and performance-based vesting condition. The grant date fair value has been calculated based on the probable outcome of the performance-based vesting condition as of the grant date, which equates to the maximum value of the RSUs as of the grant date.

#### Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy
In connection with the Business Combination, the New Freenome Board intends to adopt a non-employee director compensation policy that will become effective upon the Closing.

Under the policy, the New Freenome non-employee directors will be eligible to receive cash retainers (which will be payable quarterly in arrears and prorated for partial years of service) and equity awards as set forth below:

In addition, the non-employee director compensation policy will provide that, upon initial election to the New Freenome Board, each non-employee director will be granted an initial award (the "***Initial Grant***"). The Initial Grant will vest , subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date. Furthermore, on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders following the completion of the Business Combination, each non-employee director who continues as a non-employee director following such meeting will be granted an annual award (the "***Annual Grant***"). The Annual Grant will vest .

The aggregate amount of compensation, including both equity compensation and cash compensation, paid to any non-employee director for service as a New Freenome non-employee director in a calendar year period will not exceed $1,000,000 in the first calendar year such individual becomes a non-employee director and $600,000 in any other calendar year.

We will reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by non-employee directors in attending meetings of the New Freenome Board and committees thereof.

#### Board Composition
The New Freenome Board will manage the business and affairs of New Freenome, as provided by Delaware law, and will conduct its business through meetings of the board of directors and its standing committees. Assuming the election of the nominees set forth in "*Director Election Proposal*," it is anticipated that, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the New Freenome Board will consist of [•] members; provided, that at least a majority of the New Freenome Board will qualify as independent directors (as such term is defined under Nasdaq rules). The primary responsibilities of the New Freenome Board will be to provide risk oversight and strategic guidance to New Freenome and to counsel and direct New Freenome's management. The New Freenome Board will meet on a regular basis and will convene additional meetings, as required.

#### Staggered Board
In accordance with the terms of the New Freenome Charter and New Freenome Bylaws that will each become effective prior to the completion of the Business Combination, the New Freenome Board will be divided into three staggered classes of directors and each director will be assigned to one of the three classes. At each regularly-scheduled annual meeting of the stockholders, one class of directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the directors of the same class whose terms are then expiring. The terms of the directors will expire upon the election and qualification of successor directors at the regularly-scheduled annual meeting of stockholders to be held during the years 2026 for Class I directors, 2027 for Class II directors and 2028 for Class III directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• New Freenome's Class I directors will be [•];

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• New Freenome's Class II directors will be [•]; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• New Freenome's Class III directors will be [•].

The New Freenome Charter and the New Freenome Bylaws that will each become effective upon the Domestication will provide that the number of directors that constitutes the New Freenome Board shall be fixed from time to time by a resolution of the New Freenome Board. If the number of directors is thereafter changed, any increase or decrease in directorships will be apportioned among the classes by the New Freenome Board so as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as is practicable, *provided that* no decrease in the number of directors constituting the New Freenome Board will shorten the term of any incumbent director.

The division of the New Freenome Board into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent stockholder efforts to effect a change of New Freenome management or a change in control.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Director Independence
New Freenome has applied for the listing of the New Freenome Common Stock on Nasdaq in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. As a result, assuming that Nasdaq approves New Freenome's initial listing application, New Freenome will adhere to the rules of Nasdaq in determining whether a director is independent. The Freenome Board has consulted, and the New Freenome Board will consult, with its counsel to ensure that the board of directors' determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors. The Nasdaq listing standards generally define an "independent director" as a person who is not an executive officer or employee, or who does not have a relationship which, in the opinion of the company's board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities as a director. The parties have determined that [•] will be considered independent directors of New Freenome. New Freenome's independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

There are no family relationships among any of New Freenome's executive officers and directors.

#### Board Committees
At the Effective Time, the New Freenome Board will have an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee, each of which will operate under a written charter to be effective following the Closing of the Business Combination, which satisfies the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. In addition, from time to time, special committees may be established under the direction of the New Freenome Board when necessary to address specific issues. Copies of each board committee's charter will be posted on New Freenome's website. New Freenome's website and the information contained on, or that can be accessed through, such website are not deemed to be incorporated by reference in, and are not considered part of, this proxy statement/prospectus. The composition and responsibilities of each of the committees of the New Freenome Board are described below. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by the New Freenome Board.

*Audit Committee* 

Following the Business Combination, the New Freenome audit committee will consist of [•] and will be chaired by [•]. The functions of the audit committee include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing quarterly earnings releases.

All members of the audit committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq listing rules. The New Freenome Board has determined that Jake Bauer qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of applicable SEC regulations. In making this determination, the New Freenome Board considered the nature and scope of experience that Jake Bauer has previously had. The New Freenome Board has determined that all of the directors that will become members of our audit committee following the Business Combination satisfy the relevant independence requirements for service on the audit committee set forth in the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq listing rules. Both New Freenome's independent registered public accounting firm and management will periodically meet privately with the audit committee.

Each member of New Freenome's compensation committee is a non-employee director, as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and an outside director, as defined pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code.

A shareholder is also deemed to be, as of any date, the beneficial owner of all securities that such shareholder has the right to acquire within 60 days after that date through (a) the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (b) the conversion of a security, (c) the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, or (d) the automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, ordinary shares subject to options or other rights (as set forth above) held by that person that are currently exercisable, or will become exercisable within 60 days thereafter, are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person. Each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all of the shares shown as beneficially owned by such person, except as otherwise indicated in the table or footnotes below. To our knowledge, no shares beneficially owned by any officer, director or director nominee have been pledged as security.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of New Freenome Common Stock post-Business Combination is provided for illustrative purposes only, as actual outcomes may prove different from the assumptions made above. In particular, the actual number of Public Shareholders who will exercise their redemption rights is uncertain.

#### CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

#### Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—PCSC
*Founder Shares* 

On March 27, 2024, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain of PCSC's expenses in exchange for the issuance of the founder shares, being 2,156,250 PCSC Class B Shares. The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to 281,250 founder shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriter so that the founder shares would represent 20.0% of PCSC's issued and outstanding ordinary shares (excluding the private placement shares) after PCSC's initial public offering. On June 13, 2024, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in full as part of the closing of PCSC's initial public offering. As such, 281,250 founder shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

On April 22, 2024, the Sponsor assigned 30,000 founder shares to each of PCSC's independent directors, Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song M.D., and Harlan W. Waksal M.D., at a price of $0.01 per share. Each director paid $300 or an aggregate purchase price of $900 in consideration of the assignment of founder shares.

The initial shareholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of the initial business combination and (B) subsequent to the initial business combination, (x) if the closing price of PCSC Class A Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination, or (y) the date on which PCSC completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Such transfer restrictions will be amended pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, which provides that, subject to customary exceptions set forth therein, the shares of New Freenome Common Stock beneficially owned or owned of record by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain officers and directors of PCSC and New Freenome (including any PIPE Shares or shares of New Freenome Common Stock issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement) will be subject to a 180-day lock-up period beginning on the Closing Date. For more information on the changes to the Letter Agreement, and the termination of the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement in connection with the Business Combination, see "*Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Sponsor Letter Agreement*" and "*Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Investor Rights Agreement*."

*Private Placement Shares* 

Simultaneously with the closing of PCSC's initial public offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 286,250 private placement shares at a price of $10.00 per private placement share, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,862,500. A portion of the proceeds from the private placement shares was added to the proceeds from PCSC's initial public offering and held in the trust account. Such private placement shares are identical to the PCSC Class A Shares sold in PCSC's initial public offering. If PCSC does not consummate an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of PCSC's initial public offering, any proceeds from the sale of the private placement shares held in the trust account will be used to fund the redemption of the public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law). Holders of the private placement shares have entered into an agreement, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with (i) the completion of the initial business combination and (ii) the approval by the shareholders and implementation by the directors of an amendment to PCSC's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the obligation to provide holders of the public shares the right to have their shares redeemed or repurchased in connection with the initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if PCSC does not complete the initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of PCSC's initial public offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the public shares. The private placement shares will not be transferable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial business combination. Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, such lock-up will be superseded and replaced by the post-Closing lock-up included in the Lock-Up Agreement. See "*Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements—Lock-Up Agreement*."

*Related Party Loans* 

On March 27, 2024, the Sponsor agreed to loan PCSC an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to PCSC's initial public offering pursuant to a promissory note. This loan is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
of December 31, 2024 or the completion of PCSC's initial public offering. As of December 31, 2025, PCSC had no borrowings under the promissory note. Upon the completion of PCSC's initial public offering, on June 13, 2024, PCSC fully repaid this promissory note and it is no longer available.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of PCSC's officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan PCSC funds as may be required ("***Working Capital Loans***"). If PCSC completes a business combination, PCSC may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the trust account released to PCSC. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the trust account. In the event that a business combination does not close, PCSC may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the trust account or funds from permitted withdrawals to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the trust account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender's discretion, up to $3.0 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into shares of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share. To date, PCSC has no outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

*Administrative Services and Indemnification Agreement* 

PCSC entered into an agreement, commencing on June 11, 2024, through the earlier of PCSC's consummation of a business combination and its liquidation, (i) to pay the Sponsor a total of $15,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services and (ii) to indemnify the Sponsor and its affiliates, including Perceptive Advisors, LLC, from any liability arising with respect to their activities in connection with PCSC's affairs. For the year ended December 31, 2025, PCSC incurred and paid $180,000 in fees for these services, respectively. For the period from March 22, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024 PCSC incurred and paid $99,500 in fees for these services, respectively, of which such amount is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet.

*PCSC Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement* 

The holders of PCSC Class B Shares and private placement shares, including private placement shares that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (if any), are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that PCSC registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to PCSC's completion of its initial business combination. However, the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement provides that PCSC will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period, which occurs (i) in the case of the PCSC Class B Shares, in accordance with the Letter Agreement and (ii) in the case of the private placement shares, 30 days after the completion of PCSC's initial business combination. PCSC will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. As discussed under "*Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination*," (i) the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement will be terminated and replaced by the Investor Rights Agreement; and (ii) the Perceptive Shareholders and certain Freenome stockholders will enter into lock-up agreements in connection with the Closing.

#### Policies and Procedures for Related Persons Transactions
Freenome does not have a formal policy regarding approval of transactions with related parties. To date, all disclosable transactions with related parties have been approved by the directors not interested in such transaction pursuant to Section 144(a)(1) of the DGCL.

The audit committee of PCSC'S board of directors adopted a charter, providing for the review, approval and/or ratification of "related party transactions," which are those transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K as promulgated by the SEC, by the PCSC audit committee. At its meetings, the PCSC audit committee shall be provided with the details of each new, existing, or proposed related party transaction, including the terms of the transaction, any contractual restrictions that PCSC has already committed to, the business purpose of the transaction, and the benefits of the transaction to PCSC and to the relevant related party. Any member of the PCSC audit committee who has an interest in the related party transaction under review by the PCSC audit committee shall abstain from voting on the approval of the related party transaction, but may, if so requested by the chairman of the PCSC audit committee, participate in some or all of the PCSC audit committee's discussions of the related party transaction. Upon completion of its review of the related party transaction, the PCSC audit committee may determine to permit or to prohibit the related party transaction.

Following the completion of the Business Combination, New Freenome will adopt a related party transaction approval policy and New Freenome's audit committee will be responsible for the review, consideration and approval or ratification of related party transactions. For purposes of New Freenome's policy only, a "related person transaction" is a transaction, arrangement or relationship in which New Freenome or any of its subsidiaries was, is or will be a participant, the amount of which involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any Related Person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A "Related Person" means:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any person who is, or at any time during the applicable period was, one of New Freenome's executive officers, a director nominee or a member of the New Freenome Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any person who is known by New Freenome to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of its voting stock; and

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, which means any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law of a director, officer or a beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our voting stock, and any person sharing the household of such director, executive officer or beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of its voting stock.

It is also anticipated that New Freenome will have policies and procedures designed to minimize potential conflicts of interest arising from any dealings it may have with its affiliates and to provide appropriate procedures for the disclosure of any real or potential conflicts of interest that may exist from time to time.

#### COMPARISON OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS
PCSC is an exempted company incorporated under the Cayman Companies Act. The Cayman Companies Act, Cayman Islands law generally and the Existing Governing Documents govern the rights of its shareholders. The Cayman Companies Act and Cayman Islands law generally differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to Delaware corporations and their stockholders. In addition, the Existing Governing Documents differ in certain material respects from the Proposed Governing Documents. As a result, when you become a stockholder of New Freenome, your rights will differ in some regards as compared to when you were a shareholder of PCSC.

Below is a summary chart outlining important similarities and differences in the corporate governance and stockholder/shareholder rights associated with each of PCSC and New Freenome according to applicable law and/or the governing documents of PCSC and New Freenome. You also should review the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws of New Freenome attached hereto as **Annex H** and **Annex I** to this proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the DGCL and corporate laws of the Cayman Islands, including the Cayman Companies Act, to understand how these laws apply to PCSC and New Freenome.

Parties holding certain security interests in the constituent companies must also consent.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>All mergers (other than parent/subsidiary mergers) require shareholder approval—there is no exception for smaller mergers.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>Where a bidder has acquired 90% or more of the shares in a Cayman Islands company, it can compel the acquisition of the shares of the remaining shareholders and thereby become the sole shareholder.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>A Cayman Islands company may also be acquired through a "scheme of arrangement" sanctioned by (i) in relation to a compromise or arrangement between a company and its creditors or any class of them, a majority in number of such creditors or class of creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made and who must in addition represent 75% in value of such creditors or class of creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting summoned for that purpose; and (ii) in relation to a compromise or arrangement between a company and its shareholders or any class of them, shareholders who represent 75% in value of the company's shareholders or class of shareholders, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting summoned for that purpose. | Mergers that require a vote of stockholders require approval by the holders of a majority in voting power of all outstanding shares entitled to vote on the matter.

|  |  | corporation or entity owns 90% or more of the outstanding shares of each class of stock of a corporation that would otherwise be entitled to vote on a merger may be completed without the approval of such corporation's board of directors or any vote of its stockholders.  |
| **Stockholder/Shareholder Votes for Routine Matters** | Under Cayman Islands law and the Existing Governing Documents, routine corporate matters may be approved by an ordinary resolution (being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by or on behalf of the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the applicable general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter). | Unless a different voting standard is set forth in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, approval of routine corporate matters other than director elections that are put to a stockholder vote require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter and director elections require a plurality vote of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. |
| **Appraisal Rights and Dissenters' Rights** | Minority shareholders that dissent from a Cayman Islands statutory merger are entitled to be paid the fair market value of their shares, which if necessary may ultimately be determined by the court. | Appraisal rights permit a stockholder to receive cash generally equal to the fair value of the stockholder's shares (as determined by agreement of the parties or by a court) in lieu of the consideration such stockholder would otherwise receive in the applicable transaction. Appraisal rights are generally available to the holders of shares of any class or series of stock of a Delaware corporation in a merger, consolidation, conversion or domestication, provided that no appraisal rights are available with respect to shares of any class or series of stock if, at the record date for the meeting held to approve such transaction, such shares of stock, or depositary receipts in respect thereof, are either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders of record, unless the stockholders are required to receive anything other than shares of stock of the surviving or resulting corporation (or depositary receipts in respect  |

|  |  | thereof), or of any other corporation that is listed on a national securities exchange or held by more than 2,000 holders of record, cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depositary receipts described above or any combination of the foregoing. |
| **Inspection of Books and Records** | Shareholders generally do not have any rights to inspect or obtain copies of the register of shareholders or other corporate records of a company. | Any stockholder, upon written demand stating the purpose thereof, has the right to inspect the corporation's stock ledger and other books and records for a proper purpose during the usual hours for business, subject to additional terms, requirements and exceptions. |
| **Stockholder/Shareholder Lawsuits** | In the Cayman Islands, the decision to institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company's board of directors. A shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company, but only in certain limited circumstances. | The DGCL provides that a stockholder may bring a derivative suit by or in the right of the corporation provided that the complaint must aver that the plaintiff was a stockholder at the time of the challenged transaction or that their stock devolved upon them by operation of law. Additional pleading requirements apply under Delaware law. |
| **Fiduciary Duties of Directors** | A director owes fiduciary duties to a company, including to exercise loyalty, honesty and good faith to the company as a whole.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>In addition to fiduciary duties, directors owe a duty of care, diligence and skill.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>Such duties are owed to the company but may be owed directly to creditors or shareholders in certain limited circumstances. | Directors owe fiduciary duties of care and loyalty to the corporation and its stockholders. |
| **Indemnification of Directors and Officers** | A Cayman Islands company generally may indemnify its directors or officers except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. | In actions, suits or proceedings that are not brought by or in right of the corporation, the DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify current and former directors, officers, employees and agents for attorneys' fees and other expenses, judgments and amounts paid in settlement that the person actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the action, suit or proceeding. The person seeking indemnity may  |

|  | recover under these statutory provisions as long as they acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed was in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and in the case of a criminal proceeding, that such person had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>In actions, suits or proceedings that are brought by or in right of the corporation, the DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents for expenses that the person actually and reasonably incurred, except that the corporation may not indemnify the person for any claim, issue or matter as to which the person has been adjudged liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>The DGCL requires a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against the expenses they actually and reasonably incur in defending against any action, suit or proceeding for which they may be indemnified if they have been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>In addition, the DGCL provides that expenses incurred by an officer, director, employee or agent of a corporation in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding. In the case of a current director or officer, the advances may be made only upon the corporation's receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to  |

| **Limited Liability of Directors** | Liability of directors may be limited, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide exculpation for willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. | The DGCL permits the certificate of incorporation of the corporation to contain a provision limiting or eliminating the personal monetary liability of a director or officer to the corporation or its stockholders, except with regard to breaches of duty of loyalty, intentional misconduct, knowing violations of law, unlawful repurchases or dividends for directors, or improper personal benefit, and with respect to an officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation. |

#### DESCRIPTION OF NEW FREENOME SECURITIES
*As a result of the Business Combination, PCSC shareholders who receive shares of New Freenome Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination will become stockholders of New Freenome. Your rights as New Freenome stockholders will be governed by Delaware law and the New Freenome Charter and the New Freenome Bylaws. The following summary of the material terms of our securities is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities. PCSC urges you to read the applicable provisions of Delaware law and the New Freenome Charter and the New Freenome Bylaws carefully and in their entirety because they describe your rights as a holder of shares of New Freenome Common Stock.* 

#### Authorized and Outstanding Stock
The New Freenome Charter authorizes the issuance of 1,010,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The shares of New Freenome Common Stock issuable in connection with the Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. As of the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, there were 8,911,250 PCSC Class A Shares held of record by two holders, 2,156,520 PCSC Class B Shares held of record by four holders, and no preference shares issued and outstanding. Such numbers do not include DTC participants or beneficial owners holding shares through nominee names.

#### Common Stock
The New Freenome Charter provides that the New Freenome Common Stock will have identical par value and participation rights to current PCSC Class A Shares and PCSC Class B Shares. Pursuant to the PCSC articles of association, the Business Combination Agreement and Sponsor Letter Agreement, the holders of PCSC Class B Shares agreed to elect to convert their PCSC Class B Shares into PCSC Class A Shares immediately prior to the Domestication and to waive their rights under PCSC's articles of association to have their PCSC Class B Shares converted into PCSC Class A Shares at a ratio of greater than one-to-one. Further, pursuant to the PCSC Articles and the Business Combination Agreement, the PCSC Class A Shares (including the PCSC Class A Shares issued in connection with the Class B share conversion, but excluding public shares validly submitted for redemption and the forfeited founder shares) will convert on a one-to-one basis into New Freenome Common Stock, with identical par value and participation rights to current PCSC Class A Shares.

#### Preferred Stock
The New Freenome Charter provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The board of directors of the post-combination company will be authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. The New Freenome Board is able, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the New Freenome Common Stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the New Freenome Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. New Freenome has no preferred stock outstanding at the date hereof. Although New Freenome does not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock, it cannot assure you that New Freenome will not do so in the future.

#### Dividends
Under the New Freenome Charter, holders of New Freenome Common Stock are entitled to receive ratable dividends, if any, as may be declared from time-to-time by our Board out of legally available assets or funds. There are no current plans to pay cash dividends on New Freenome Common Stock for the foreseeable future.

#### Voting Power
Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, under the current certificate of incorporation and the New Freenome Charter, the holders of New Freenome Common Stock possess or will possess, as applicable, all voting power for the election of our directors and

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
all other matters requiring stockholder action and are entitled or will be entitled, as applicable, to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the holders of New Freenome Common Stock shall at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of New Freenome Common Stock under the New Freenome Charter.

#### Preemptive or Other Rights
The New Freenome Charter does not provide for any preemptive or other similar rights.

#### Election of Directors
The PCSC Board currently consists of six directors.

Following the completion of the Business Combination, the size of the New Freenome Board will be increased to consist of nine directors, as discussed in greater detail in "*Proposal No. 3—Governing Documents Proposal*" and "*Management of New Freenome following the Business Combination*." Under the terms of the New Freenome Charter, upon the effectiveness thereof, the Board will be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. Class I directors will initially serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing. Class II and Class III directors will initially serve for a term expiring at the second and third annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing, respectively. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting of the stockholders. There will be no limit on the number of terms a director may serve on the New Freenome Board.

Under the New Freenome Charter, directors are elected by a plurality voting standard, whereby each of our stockholders may not give more than one vote per share towards any one director nominee. There are no cumulative voting rights.

#### Annual Stockholder Meetings
New Freenome will provide that annual stockholder meetings will be held at a date, time and place, if any, as exclusively selected by the New Freenome Board. To the extent permitted under applicable law, New Freenome may conduct meetings by means of remote communication.

#### Dissenters' Rights of Appraisal and Payment
Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, New Freenome's stockholders have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation of New Freenome. Pursuant to the DGCL, stockholders who properly request and perfect appraisal rights in connection with such merger or consolidation will have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

#### Stockholders' Derivative Actions
Under the DGCL, any of New Freenome's stockholders may bring an action in New Freenome's name to procure a judgment in New Freenome's favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of New Freenome's shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholder's stock thereafter devolved by operation of law.

#### Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The PCSC Articles provide that our current and former officers and directors will be indemnified by us for any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud, willful neglect or willful default. No such officer or director is or will be liable to PCSC for any loss or damage incurred by PCSC as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud, willful neglect or willful default of such officer or director. PCSC has further agreed to advance reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such officer or director for which indemnity will or could be sought. The New Freenome Charter and New Freenome Bylaws will provide for the indemnification of current and former officers and directors of New Freenome to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
New Freenome intends to enter into agreements with our officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our current certificate of incorporation. The PCSC Articles also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions.

New Freenome will purchase a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors. In connection with the Closing, PCSC will purchase a tail policy with respect to liability coverage for the benefit of our current officers and directors on the same or substantially similar terms of our existing policy. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, New Freenome will maintain such tail policy for a period of six years following the Closing.

These provisions may discourage current shareholders and future stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders and stockholders. Furthermore, a shareholder's or stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent New Freenome pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

New Freenome believes that these provisions, the directors' and officers' liability insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

#### Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, New Freenome Charter and New Freenome Bylaws
The New Freenome Charter and New Freenome Bylaws will contain and the DGCL contains provisions, as summarized in the following paragraphs that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of New Freenome Board. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce New Freenome's vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of New Freenome Board to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire New Freenome. However, these provisions may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter, or prevent a merger or acquisition of New Freenome by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of New Freenome Common Stock held by stockholders.

#### Exclusive Forum
The New Freenome Organizational Documents establish that, unless New Freenome consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of New Freenome, (ii) any action asserting a claim of, or a claim based on, a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee or stockholder of New Freenome to New Freenome or New Freenome's stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the New Freenome Charter or New Freenome Bylaws (including the interpretation, validity or enforceability thereof) or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine; provided, however, that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to any causes of action arising under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, or to any claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Unless New Freenome consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

#### Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business
For information regarding registration rights of certain securities of New Freenome, see "*Stockholder Proposals and Nominations*."

#### Listing of Securities
PCSC has applied to list the New Freenome Common Stock on Nasdaq under the symbol "FRNM" upon the closing of the Business Combination.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
It is a condition to Freenome's and PCSC's obligations to consummate the Business Combination that the New Freenome Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, including the shares of New Freenome Common Stock in the Business Combination and the PIPE Shares, is approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject only to official notice of issuance. Additionally, it is a condition to the obligations of the parties to the Subscription Agreements to consummate the PIPE Financing that the New Freenome Common Stock, including the PIPE Shares, has been approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject only to official notice of issuance. PCSC and Freenome believe that PCSC will satisfy the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market at the Closing, but there can be no assurance such listing condition will be met. If such listing condition is not met, the Business Combination may not be consummated unless such condition is waived by Freenome and PCSC, and the PIPE Financing may not be consummated unless such condition is waived by the PIPE Investors. The Nasdaq listing condition may be waived by Freenome and PCSC, with respect to the Business Combination, and by the PIPE Investors, with respect to the PIPE Financing, at any time prior to the Closing, including after the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting. If Freenome and PCSC, on the one hand, and/or the PIPE Investors, on the other hand, waive such condition, PCSC intends to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of such event, however you should know that given such timing you may not be notified before the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting. **It is important for you to consider that, at the time of the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting, New Freenome may not have received from Nasdaq either confirmation of the listing of the New Freenome Common Stock or confirmation that approval will be obtained prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and you will not be notified prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests or the extraordinary general meeting if New Freenome has not yet received such approval or confirmation. As a result, you may be asked to vote to approve the Business Combination and the other proposals included in this proxy statement/prospectus without knowing whether the New Freenome Common Stock will be listed on Nasdaq or another securities exchange and, further, it is possible that such listing may never be achieved and the Business Combination could still be consummated if such condition is waived.**

#### Registration Rights
At the Closing, New Freenome will enter into the Investor Rights Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the initial shareholders and certain Freenome stockholders will have specified rights to require New Freenome to register all or a portion of their shares of New Freenome Common Stock under the Securities Act and provide customary demand as well as piggyback registration rights. See the section entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination*" The PIPE Investors also have registration rights pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements. For information regarding registration rights of certain securities of New Freenome, see "*Proposal No. 1—Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Investor Rights Agreement."*

#### Transfer Agent
The transfer agent for New Freenome Common Stock will be Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

In August 2025, Freenome issued and sold to Exact Sciences, a convertible promissory note (the "***Exact Sciences Note***") with an aggregate principal amount of $50 million, at an interest rate of 5% per annum. Following the Business Combination, the principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest under the Exact Sciences Note will automatically convert into shares of common stock of New Freenome, at a price per share equal to 1.5x the purchase price per share of the common stock sold in the PIPE Financing when the 10-day volume-weighted average price of New Freenome's common stock exceeds 1.5% the purchase price per share of the common stock sold in the PIPE Financing. Additionally, the Exact Sciences Note is convertible, at the option of Exact Sciences, to convert the note at any time while it remains outstanding pursuant to the terms of the Exact Sciences Note.

The foregoing description of the Exact Sciences Note is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Exact Sciences Note, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.15 to this proxy statement/prospectus.

#### SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE AND SECURITIES ACT RESTRICTIONS

#### ON RESALE OF NEW FREENOME COMMON STOCK
Based on the unaudited pro forma combined financial information and the assumptions set out therein and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Freenome will have up to 112,569,331 shares of New Freenome Common Stock issued and outstanding, assuming the No Redemptions Scenario, or up to 105,965,480 shares of New Freenome Common Stock outstanding, assuming the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition Redemptions Scenario. Except pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, and except with respect to the shares of New Freenome Common Stock to be issued to the stockholders of Freenome that delivered a Freenome Stockholder Written Consent, all of the New Freenome Common Stock issued in connection with the Business Combination will be freely transferable by persons other than by New Freenome's "affiliates" without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. Sales of substantial amounts of shares of New Freenome Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of New Freenome Common Stock. Prior to the Business Combination, there has been no public market for New Freenome Common Stock. PCSC has applied for listing of the New Freenome Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. New Freenome, Freenome, and PCSC believe that New Freenome will satisfy the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market at the Closing, but there can be no assurance such listing will occur. Additionally, New Freenome cannot assure you that a regular trading market will develop in the New Freenome Common Stock.

#### Rule 701
In general, under Rule 701 of the Securities Act as currently in effect, each of the Freenome employees, consultants or advisors who purchases New Freenome Common Stock in connection with a compensatory stock plan or other written agreement executed prior to the completion of the Business Combination is eligible to resell those equity shares in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with some of the restrictions, including the holding period, contained in Rule 144. However, the Rule 701 shares would remain subject to lock-up arrangements and would only become eligible for sale when the lock-up period expires.

#### Lock-up Provisions
At the Closing, the Sponsor and certain former Freenome stockholders will enter into the Lock-Up Agreement with PCSC. Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, the Sponsor and certain Freenome stockholders will agree not to transfer (except for certain permitted transfers) any shares of New Freenome Common Stock held by such holder (including any shares of New Freenome Common Stock issued in the PIPE Financing pursuant to the Subscription Agreements or shares of New Freenome Common Stock issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement) after the Domestication until six (6) months after the Closing Date. For additional information, see the section entitled "*Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements—Lock-Up Agreements.*"

#### Registration Rights
At the Closing, New Freenome, the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain directors and officers of PCSC and Freenome and certain former shareholders of Freenome will enter into the Investor Rights Agreement, pursuant to which, upon completion of the Business Combination, the New Freenome Common Stock held by the parties thereto will bear customary demand, piggy-back and shelf registration rights.

Additionally, each PIPE Investor will have registration rights with respect to the shares of New Freenome Common Stock issued in the PIPE Financing pursuant to the Subscription Agreements.

Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, New Freenome has agreed, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale registration statement under the Securities Act, not later than 30 days following the consummation of the Business Combination to register certain registrable securities held by the parties thereto. For more information, see "*Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements—Investor Rights Agreement*" and "*Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements—PIPE Financing*."

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
The following table summarizes the market standoff restrictions of certain stockholders of New Freenome following the closing of the Business Combination:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Stakeholder** | **Market Standoff** <br>**Restrictions** | **Shares Subject to Market** <br>**Standoff Restrictions** |
| The Sponsor, Perceptive PIPE Investor, and certain Freenome stockholders and certain New Freenome officers and directors | Lock-up Agreement  | 13,467,253 shares of New Freenome Common Stock<sup>(1)</sup><br> For a period of six (6) months after the Closing Date. Further, the shares of New Freenome Common Stock issued to the Sponsor, Perceptive PIPE Investor and certain Freenome stockholders are restricted securities.

| Other PIPE Investors and certain Freenome stockholders  | None. However, the shares of New Freenome Common Stock issued in the PIPE Financing and issued to certain Freenome stockholders in connection with the Business Combination, are restricted securities. New Freenome is required to file a registration statement registering the resale of such shares of New Freenome Common Stock within 30 days following the Closing Date. | None. However, the shares of New Freenome Common Stock issued in the PIPE Financing and issued to certain Freenome stockholders in connection with the Business Combination, are restricted securities. New Freenome is required to file a registration statement registering the resale of such shares of New Freenome Common Stock within 30 days following the Closing Date. |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Number of shares reflects the assumptions made further above in the sensitivity table under "*Questions and Answers for the Shareholders of PCSC—What equity stake will current PCSC shareholders and current equityholders of Freenome hold in New Freenome immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?*" Does not adjust for sources of dilution following the Closing Date. For more information on potential sources of dilution also see, "*Questions and Answers for the Shareholders of PCSC—What equity stake will current PCSC shareholders and current equityholders of Freenome hold in New Freenome immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?* "

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Shareholders who become affiliates of New Freenome for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act would be subject to additional resale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, once available.

#### Rule 144
Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act ("***Rule 144***"), a person who has beneficially owned restricted New Freenome Common Stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been an affiliate of New Freenome at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) New Freenome is subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the twelve months (or such shorter period as New Freenome was required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted New Freenome Common Stock shares for at least six months but who are affiliates of New Freenome at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 1% of the total number of New Freenome Common Stock then outstanding; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the average weekly reported trading volume of the New Freenome Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Sales by affiliates of New Freenome under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about New Freenome.

#### Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies
Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. New Freenome may be deemed a former shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding twelve months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

As a result, our initial shareholders will be able to sell their PCSC Class B Shares and private placement shares, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 without registration one year after we have completed our initial business combination.

We anticipate that following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Freenome will no longer be a shell company, and so, once the conditions set forth in the exceptions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of the above noted restricted securities.

#### APPRAISAL RIGHTS AND DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
PCSC's shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under the DGCL. PCSC's shareholders do not have dissenters' rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under Cayman Islands law.

#### STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS

#### Stockholder Proposals
The New Freenome Organizational Documents establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders who wish to present a proposal before an annual meeting of stockholders. The New Freenome Organizational Documents provide that nominations of persons or election to the New Freenome Board and the proposal of other business to be considered by the stockholders may be brought before an annual meeting (a) by or at the direction of the New Freenome Board or (b) otherwise by any stockholder of New Freenome who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice of the annual meeting provided for in the New Freenome Organizational Documents, who (A)(1) is entitled to vote at the meeting, (2) is present (in person or by proxy) at the meeting and (3) complies with the notice procedures set forth in the New Freenome Organizational Documents as to such nomination or business or (B) properly makes such proposal in accordance with Rule 14a-8 (or a successor rule) under the Exchange Act. To be timely for New Freenome's annual meeting of stockholders, a stockholder's notice must be received by the Secretary of New Freenome at New Freenome's principal executive offices:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• not less than the 90 days; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• not more than the 120 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting.

In the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date and if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not later than the ninetieth (90<sup>th</sup>) day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting was first made by New Freenome. Nominations and proposals also must satisfy other requirements set forth in the Proposed New Freenome Organizational Documents. The presiding person at an annual meeting or a special meeting, as applicable, may, if the facts warrant, determine that the business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the Proposed New Freenome Organizational Documents, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

**Under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, a stockholder proposal to be included in the proxy statement and proxy card for the 2026 annual meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 must be received at our principal office a reasonable time before New Freenome begins to print and send out its proxy materials for such 2026 annual meeting (and New Freenome will publicly disclose such date when it is known).Stockholder Director Nominees** 

The New Freenome Organizational Documents permit stockholders to nominate directors for election at an annual general meeting of stockholders. To nominate a director, the stockholder must provide the information required by the New Freenome Organizational Documents. In addition, the stockholder must give timely notice to Topco's secretary in accordance with the New Freenome Organizational Documents, which, in general, require that the notice be received by New Freenome's secretary within the time periods described above under "—*Stockholder Proposals*" for stockholder proposals.

#### SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS
Shareholders and interested parties may communicate with the PCSC Board, any committee chairperson or the non-management directors as a group by writing to the board or committee chairperson in care of Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp, 51 Astor Place, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10003. Following the Business Combination, such communications should be sent in care of New Freenome, Genesis Marina, 3300 Marina Blvd, Brisbane, CA 94005. Each communication will be forwarded, depending on the subject matter, to the board of directors, the appropriate committee chairperson or all non-management directors.

#### LEGAL MATTERS
Cooley LLP has passed upon the validity of the securities of New Freenome offered by this proxy statement/prospectus and certain other legal matters related to this proxy statement/prospectus. Certain Cayman Islands matters will be passed upon for PCSC by Ogier (Cayman) LLP.

#### EXPERTS
The financial statements of Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from March 22, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, appearing in this proxy statement/prospectus in reliance upon the report of WithumSmith+Brown, PC appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

The consolidated financial statements of Freenome Holdings, Inc. at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, appearing in this proxy statement/prospectus, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report thereon (which contains an explanatory paragraph describing conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements) appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

#### HOUSEHOLDING INFORMATION
Unless PCSC has received contrary instructions, it may send a single copy of this proxy statement/prospectus to any household at which two or more shareholders reside if PCSC believes the shareholders are members of the same family. This process, known as "householding," reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce expenses. A number of brokers with account holders who are PCSC shareholders will be householding this proxy statement/prospectus. PCSC shareholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards. If shareholders prefer to receive multiple sets of disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the shareholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another shareholder and together both of the shareholders would like to receive only a single set of disclosure documents, the shareholders should follow these instructions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the shares are registered in the name of the shareholder, the shareholder should contact PCSC at its offices at Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp, 51 Astor Place, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10003 or by telephone at +1 (212) 284-2300, to inform PCSC of his, her or their request; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If a bank, broker or other nominee holds the shares, the shareholder should contact the bank, broker or other nominee directly.

#### ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITY
PCSC is a Cayman Islands exempted company. If PCSC does not change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware by effecting the Domestication, you may have difficulty serving legal process within the U.S. upon PCSC. You may also have difficulty enforcing, both in and outside the U.S., judgments you may obtain in U.S. courts against PCSC in any action, including actions based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws. Furthermore, there is doubt that the courts of the Cayman Islands would enter judgments in original actions brought in those courts predicated on U.S. federal or state securities laws. However, PCSC may be served with process in the U.S. with respect to actions against PCSC arising out of or in connection with violation of U.S. federal securities laws relating to offers and sales of PCSC's securities by serving PCSC's U.S. agent irrevocably appointed for that purpose.

#### TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
The transfer agent for PCSC's securities is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

The transfer agent for New Freenome Securities following the Business Combination will be Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

#### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp:

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from March 22, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from March 22, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs and unable to complete a business combination by June 13, 2026, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

#### Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2024.

On June 13, 2024, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in full as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such, 281,250 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

#### PERCEPTIVE CAPITAL SOLUTIONS CORP

#### NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

#### DECEMBER 31, 2025

#### NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp (the "Company") was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on March 22, 2024. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the "Business Combination"). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

The Company has two subsidiaries, StarNet Merger Sub I, Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub I") and StarNet Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Merger Sub II") both incorporated on November 26, 2025. On December 5, 2025, the Company, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, and Freenome Holdings, Inc., entered into a business combination agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement"). The Business Combination Agreement sets forth the terms of the proposed business combination by the Company with Freenome (the "Proposed Freenome Business Combination"). The Proposed Freenome Business Combination was unanimously approved by the boards of directors and special committees comprised of independent and disinterested members of the boards of directors of each of the Company and Freenome. The Proposed Freenome Business Combination is expected to close in the first half of 2026, following the receipt of the requisite approvals of the Company shareholders and Freenome stockholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 22, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 relates to the Company's formation, the initial public offering ("Initial Public Offering"), which is described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on June 11, 2024. On June 13, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 8,625,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Public Shares"), which included the full exercise by the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering of its over-allotment option in the amount of 1,125,000 Public Shares, at $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $86,250,000, which is discussed in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 286,250 private placement shares (the "Private Placement Shares") to Perceptive Capital Solutions Holdings (the "Sponsor") at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share, or $2,862,500 in the aggregate, which is described in Note 4.

Transaction costs amounted to $4,809,616, consisting of $1,725,000 of cash underwriting fee, $3,450,000 of deferred underwriting fee (see Note 5), and $497,116 of other offering costs, offset by a reimbursement from the underwriter of $862,500.

The Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Shares, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act").

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on June 13, 2024, an amount of $86,250,000 ($10.00 per share) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Shares and the sale of the Private Placement Shares was placed in the trust account ("Trust Account"), located in the United States, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
trustee, including in demand deposit accounts at a bank, or invested only in United States "government securities" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company will provide the holders of Public Shares (the "Public Shareholders") with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination, including the Proposed Freenome Business Combination, either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company for Permitted Withdrawals (as defined below)). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter (as discussed in Note 5). The Public Shares were recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity."

Upon the public announcement of the initial Business Combination, if the Company elects to conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company and the Sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase the Public Shares in the open market, in order to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). In the event the Company conducts redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, and the Company will not be permitted to complete the initial Business Combination until the expiration of the tender offer period. In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on public shareholders not tendering more than the number of public shares the Company is permitted to redeem. If public shareholders tender more shares than the Company has offered to purchase, the Company will withdraw the tender offer and not complete such initial Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of its Business Combination and does not conduct redemptions in connection with its Business Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company's Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the "Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association") provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares issued in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company's Sponsor, officers and directors (the "Initial Shareholders") have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (a) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to provide Public Shareholders the right to have their shares redeemed or repurchased in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company's Public Shares if the Company does not complete its Business Combination within the time period during which the Company is required to consummate a Business Combination pursuant to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the "Business Combination Period") or (b) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of Public Shareholders, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with 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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously withdrawn or eligible to be withdrawn by the Company to fund the Company's working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $300,000, and/or to pay the Company's taxes (which shall not be subject to the $300,000 annual limitation described in the foregoing) ("Permitted Withdrawals"), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares.

If the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Business Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company for Permitted Withdrawals (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish

------

Public Shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company's remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company's obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Initial Shareholders agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares (as defined below) and Private Placement Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Business Combination Period. However, if the Initial Shareholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Business Combination Period. The underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to its deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Business Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares.

In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (excluding the Company's independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a written letter of intent, confidentially or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company's indemnity of the underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Sponsor has not made reserves for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor's only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (excluding the Company's independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

#### Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had operating cash of $865,031 and a working capital deficit of $1,346,674. The Company intends to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination. The Company does not believe it has sufficient funds for the working capital needs of the Company until a minimum of one year from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Company has 24 months from the date of IPO ("Initial Public Offering"), or until June 13, 2026, to consummate the Initial Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the end of the Combination Period, currently June 13, 2026, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Combination Period.

In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, "Going Concern," as of December 31, 2025, the Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company's officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company's working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

The Company's liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the accompanying consolidated financial statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. The Company intends to complete the initial Business Combination before the end of the Combination Period. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period.

#### NOTE 2— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

#### Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

#### Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

#### Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an "emerging growth company," as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company's consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

#### Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

#### Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company has $865,031 and $1,129,684 in cash and no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

#### Cash and Investments Held in Trust Account
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, substantially all the assets held in the Trust Account amounting to $91,872,418 and $88,654,397, respectively, were invested in U.S. Treasury securities. The Company's marketable securities are presented at fair value on the balance sheet. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account are included in interest earned on investments held in Trust Account in the statement of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company withdrew an amount of $600,000 from the Trust Account for working capital purposes. For the period from March 22, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, the Company did not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account.

#### Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, — "Expenses of Offering." Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 470-20, "Debt with Conversion and Other Options," addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applies this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Public Shares using the residual method. At Initial Public Offering, offering costs allocated to the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption were charged to temporary equity and offering costs allocated to the Private Placement Shares were charged to shareholders' deficit.

#### Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature.

#### Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company's liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company's initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as it occurs and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, at December 31, 2025 and 2024, Public Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders' deficit section of the Company's consolidated balance sheets. For the period ended December 31, 2025, the Company withdrew $600,000 of interest income from the Trust Account to fund working capital as permitted.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Public Shares subject to redemption reflected in the consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

| Accretion of carrying value to redemption value  | 3518021  |
| Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2025  | $91872418 |

---

#### Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company's management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company's major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States.

#### Net Income per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Certain of its Class A ordinary shares are redeemable and certain of its Class A ordinary shares are non-redeemable. Income and losses are shared pro rata between its Class A redeemable shares and its Class A and Class B non-redeemable shares. This presentation assumes an initial Business Combination as the most likely outcome. The Company does not have any dilutive instruments. Net income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average shares of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. Accretion associated with the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

#### Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

#### Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses", requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the consolidated financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

#### NOTE 3. PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 8,625,000 Public Shares, which included a full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 1,125,000 Public Shares, at a price of $10.00 per Public Share.

#### NOTE 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

#### Founder Shares
On March 27, 2024, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain of the Company's expenses in exchange for the issuance of 2,156,250 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the "Founder Shares"). The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to 281,250 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriter so that the

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company's issued and outstanding ordinary shares (excluding the Private Placement Shares) after the Initial Public Offering. On June 13, 2024, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in full as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such, 281,250 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

On April 22, 2024, the Sponsor assigned 30,000 Founder Shares to each of the Company's independent directors, Mark McKenna, Kenneth Song, and Harlan Waksal, at a price of $0.01 per share. Each director paid $300 or an aggregate purchase price of $900 in consideration of the assignment of Founder Shares. The sale or allocation of the Founders Shares to the Company's independent directors is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The Company assigned Founder Shares to the Company's director nominees at a price of $900. This set of Founder Shares was granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to this set of Founder Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the consummation of the Proposed Freenome Business Combination, in an amount equal to the number of Founder Shares times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founder Shares. The Company will reflect the transactions in its financial statements when the Proposed Freenome Business Combination is consummated. If the Proposed Freenome Business Combination does not close for any reason, the Company will not recognize compensation expense associated with the Founder Shares.

The Initial Shareholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

#### Private Placement Shares
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 286,250 Private Placement Shares at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,862,500. A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Shares was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and held in the Trust Account. Such Private Placement Shares are identical to the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, any proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Shares held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law). Holders of the Private Placement Shares have entered into an agreement, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Public Shares in connection with (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) the implementation by the directors of, following a shareholder vote to approve, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed or repurchased in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares. The Private Placement Shares will not be transferable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

#### Related Party Loans
On March 27, 2024, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the "Note"). This loan is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2024 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, on June 13, 2024, the Company fully repaid this promissory note and it is no longer available. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the promissory note.

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company's officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required ("Working Capital Loans"). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account or funds from Permitted Withdrawals to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender's discretion, up to $3.0 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into shares of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

#### Administrative Services and Indemnification Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on June 11, 2024, through the earlier of the Company's consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, (i) to pay the Sponsor a total of $15,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services and (ii) to indemnify the Sponsor and its affiliates, including Perceptive Advisors, LLC, from any liability arising with respect to their activities in connection with the Company's affairs, as described in more details in the Administrative Services and Indemnification Agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred and paid $180,000 in fees for these services, respectively. For the period from March 22, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, the Company incurred and paid $99,500 in fees for these services.

#### NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

#### Registration Rights
The Initial Shareholders, as the holders of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares, including from time to time the Private Placement Shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of Founder Shares, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to the registration and shareholder rights agreement, dated as of June 13, 2024, by and among the Company, the Sponsor and the Initial Shareholders party thereto. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain "piggyback" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

#### Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,125,000 additional Public Shares to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On June 13, 2024, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the underwriter elected to fully exercise the over-allotment option to purchase the additional 1,125,000 Public Shares at a price of $10.00 per Public Share.

The underwriter was entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Public Share, or $1,725,000 in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The underwriter agreed to reimburse the Company at the closing of the Initial Public Offering for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and fees (including for the avoidance of doubt, a portion of the upfront underwriting commissions payable in connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering) incurred by the Company in connection with the Initial Public Offering in an amount not to exceed 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering. On June 13, 2024, as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company received reimbursement from the underwriter of $862,500.

In addition, the underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.40 per Public Share, or $3,450,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

#### Risks and Uncertainties
United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical tensions and conflicts. Although the length and impact of the ongoing geopolitical conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyberattacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

Further, there have recently been significant changes to international trade policies and tariffs affecting imports and exports. Any significant increases in tariffs on goods or materials or other changes in trade policy could negatively affect the Company's search for a target and/or the Company's ability to complete an initial Business Combination. Recently, the United States has implemented a range of new tariffs and increases to existing tariffs. In response to the tariffs announced by the United States, other countries have imposed, are considering imposing, and may in the future impose new or increased tariffs on certain exports from the United States. There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to trade policies, taxes, government regulations and tariffs, and the Company cannot predict whether, and to what extent, current tariffs will continue or trade policies will change in the future.

Tariffs, or the threat of tariffs or increased tariffs, could have a significant negative impact on certain businesses (either due to domestic businesses' reliance on imported goods or dependence on access to foreign markets, or foreign businesses' reliance on sales into the United States). In addition, retaliatory tariffs could have a significant negative impact on foreign businesses that rely on imports from the United States, and domestic businesses that rely on exporting goods internationally. These tariffs and threats of tariffs and other potential trade policy changes could negatively affect the attractiveness of certain initial Business Combination targets, negatively impact the Company's ability to raise capital in connection with an initial Business Combination or lead to material adverse effects on a post-Business combination company. Among other things, historical financial performance of companies affected by trade policies and/or tariffs may not provide useful guidance as to the future performance of such companies, because future financial performance of those companies may be materially affected by new U.S. tariffs or foreign retaliatory tariffs, or other changes to trade policies. The business prospects of a particular target for a Business Combination could change even after the Company enters into a business combination agreement, as a result of tariffs or the threat of tariffs that may have a material impact on that target's business, and it may be costly or impractical for the Company to terminate that business combination agreement. In addition, investors may be hesitant or unwilling to invest in businesses due to the impact of the tariffs and foreign retaliatory tariffs on the global macroeconomic conditions and the public trading markets. These factors could affect the Company's selection of a Business Combination target.

Any of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the such factors, could adversely affect the Company's search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination.

#### Business Combination Agreement
On December 5, 2025, the Company, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, and Freenome Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Freenome"), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Business Combination Agreement"). The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the "Proposed Freenome Business Combination") were unanimously approved by the boards of directors and special committees comprised of independent and disinterested members of the boards of directors of each of the Company and Freenome. The Proposed Freenome Business Combination is expected to close in the first half of 2026, following the receipt of the requisite approvals of the Company shareholders and Freenome stockholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, we will de-register from the Register of Companies in the Cayman Islands and transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware and domesticate as a Delaware corporation (the "Domestication") and change our name to Freenome, Inc. ("New Freenome"). Immediately prior to the Domestication, the holders of each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share will elect to convert their Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares and immediately prior to the Domestication, the Company will effect the redemption of the Public Shares that are validly submitted for redemption and not withdrawn. In connection with the Domestication, each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share will be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Freenome (the

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
"New Freenome Common Stock"). Following the Domestication, Merger Sub I will merge with and into Freenome, with Freenome as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Freenome (the "First Merger"). At the time the First Merger becomes effective (the "Effective Time"), (i) each share of Freenome common stock (collectively, "Freenome Common Shares") issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including such shares issued upon the conversion of all shares of Freenome preferred stock into Freenome Common Shares prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, but excluding Freenome Common Shares held in treasury or by Freenome stockholders who have properly demanded appraisal of such Freenome Common Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL) will be automatically canceled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock based on an exchange ratio, which is based on an implied Freenome base equity value of $725,000,000 and subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement (the "Exchange Ratio"); (ii) each option to purchase Freenome Common Shares (each, a "Freenome Option"), whether vested or unvested, will cease to represent the right to purchase Freenome Common Shares and will be canceled in exchange for options to purchase New Freenome Common Stock under the equity incentive plan to be adopted by PCSC in advance of the Closing (the "New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan"), in an amount equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of Freenome Common Shares subject to such Freenome Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient of (i) the exercise price per share of such Freenome Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, and generally subject to the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, expiration and forfeiture provisions) that applied to the corresponding Freenome Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (iii) each restricted stock unit award that is outstanding with respect to Freenome Common Shares (each, a "Freenome RSU Award"), whether vested or unvested, will cease to have any rights in respect of the Freenome Common Shares and will be canceled in exchange for a restricted stock unit award under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan that settles in a number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) in an amount and subject to such terms and conditions, in each case, as to be set forth on an allocation schedule, that will generally be subject to the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, expiration and forfeiture provisions) that applied to the corresponding Freenome RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time.

As part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, Freenome, as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, will merge with and into Merger Sub II with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving company in the merger (the "Second Merger" and together with the First Merger, the "Mergers").

#### Sponsor Letter Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, the Sponsor, certain insiders of the Company ("PCSC Insiders") and Freenome entered into the Sponsor Letter Agreement (the "Sponsor Letter Agreement"), pursuant to which the Sponsor and each PCSC Insider, as a holder of Class B ordinary shares has agreed to, among other things, (i) vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Proposed Freenome Business Combination, (ii) waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the governing documents of the Company or any other anti-dilution or similar protection with respect to the Class B ordinary shares (whether resulting from the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements (as defined below) or otherwise), (iii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Proposed Freenome Business Combination, (iv) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to his, her or its shares in the Company prior to the Closing, and (v) be subject to the restrictions contemplated by the Lock-Up Agreements (as defined below) in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

#### PIPE Financing (Private Placement)
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on December 5, 2025, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the "Subscription Agreements") with certain qualified institutional buyers, institutional accredited investors, and other accredited investors, including, among others, Perceptive Life Sciences Master Fund Ltd, a fund managed by Perceptive Advisors, an affiliate of the Sponsor, as well as certain existing stockholders of Freenome (collectively, the "PIPE Investors"). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and the Company agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, on the date the Closing occurs (the "Closing Date"), an aggregate of 24,000,000 shares of New Freenome Common Stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $240,000,000 (the "PIPE Financing").

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
The obligations of each party to consummate the PIPE Financing are conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the New Freenome Common Stock (including the New Freenome Common Stock issuable to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreements) having been approved for listing on Nasdaq; (ii) satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the Closing ; and (iii) the absence of specified adverse judgements, orders, laws, rules or regulations enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Proposed Freenome Business Combination.

The obligations of the PIPE Investors to consummate the PIPE Financing are further subject to additional conditions, including, among other things: (i) the Business Combination Agreement shall not have been amended, modified, or supplemented, and no condition waived thereunder, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the economic benefits that a PIPE Investor (in its capacity as such) would reasonably expect to receive under the Subscription Agreements; (ii) the material truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company in the Subscription Agreements, subject to customary bringdown standards; (iii) no subscription agreement, or other agreements or understandings (including side letters) entered into in connection with the sale of New Freenome Common Stock under the Subscription Agreements, with any other PIPE Investors shall have been amended, modified, or waived in any manner that benefits such other PIPE Investor unless all PIPE Investors have been offered substantially the same benefits (other than terms particular to the legal or regulatory requirements of such other PIPE Investor or its affiliates or related persons); (iv) all specified consents, waivers or other authorizations and notices, required to be made in connection with the issuance and sale of New Freenome Common Stock under the Subscription Agreements shall have been obtained or made, except where failure to so obtain would not prevent the Company from consummating the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements; (v) material compliance by the Company with its covenants, agreements and conditions under the Subscription Agreements; (vi) there has not occurred any Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect (each as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) since the date of the Subscription Agreements that is continuing.

The Subscription Agreements provide that the Company will grant the Investors certain customary registration rights.

The Subscription Agreement represents a freestanding equity-linked contract that obligates the Company to issue a fixed number of shares for a fixed amount of cash upon satisfaction of the closing conditions. The contract does not include any embedded features requiring separate accounting under ASC 815-10 and does not meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 480-10, as it does not require redemption, cash settlement, or issuance of a variable number of shares. The contract is indexed to the Company's own stock and requires physical delivery of common shares. The Company has sufficient authorized and unissued common shares to settle the contract, and all settlement alternatives are within the Company's control. Accordingly, the Subscription Agreement qualifies for equity classification under ASC 815-40.

The Company will recognize the proceeds from the Subscription Agreement and record the related equity issuance upon the closing of the Business Combination, when the Company receives the cash consideration and issues the Subscribed Shares.

#### Freenome Transaction Support Agreements and Stockholder Written Consents
Promptly after the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, certain stockholders of Freenome (collectively, the "Freenome Supporting Stockholders") entered into a Transaction Support Agreement (collectively, the "Transaction Support Agreements") with the Company, pursuant to which the Freenome Supporting Stockholders have agreed to, among other things, (a) (i) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the Proposed Freenome Business Combination, and (ii) against and withhold consent to any alternative acquisition proposal or other matter, action or proposal intended or that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any of Freenome's covenants or obligations under the Business Combination Agreement, result in any breach to the conditions to Closing thereunder and otherwise impede or prevent the consummation of the Proposed Freenome Business Combination, (c) not, directly or indirectly, initiate, encourage or otherwise facilitate an alternative acquisition proposal, and (d) refrain from transferring any covered securities

#### Investor Rights Agreement
In connection with the Closing, New Freenome, the Sponsor, and certain stockholders of Freenome will enter into an investor rights agreement (the "Investor Rights Agreement"). Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, among other things, New Freenome will agree that, within 30 calendar days following the Closing Date, New Freenome will file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of certain shares of New Freenome Common Stock held by or issuable to the parties thereto (the "Resale Registration Statement"), and New Freenome will use its commercially

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
reasonable efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. Such holders will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights and demand registration rights, including underwritten demands. The Investor Rights Agreement amends and restates the Registration Rights Agreement.

#### NOTE 6. SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIT
***Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company's board of directors. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.***

***Class A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 479,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 286,250 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding 8,625,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.***

***Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 2,156,250 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.***

Ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders except as required by law. Unless otherwise specified in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, or as required by applicable provisions of the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares that are represented in person or by proxy and are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by the shareholders. Approval of certain actions will require a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the Company, and pursuant to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association; such actions include amending the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company. The board of directors is divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for terms of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares entitled to vote and voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. The shareholders are entitled to receive ratable dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. Prior to the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Founder Shares will have the right to vote on the appointment of directors. Holders of the Public Shares are not entitled to vote on the election of directors during such time. Further, prior to the closing of the Business Combination, only holders of the Class B ordinary shares will be entitled to vote on transferring the Company by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend the constitutional documents of the Company or to adopt new constitutional documents of the Company, in each case, as a result of the Company approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands) and, as a result, the Initial Shareholders will be able to approve any such proposal without the vote of any other shareholder. The provisions of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association governing the appointment of directors prior to the Business Combination and the Company's continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands prior to the initial Business Combination may only be amended by a special resolution passed by holders representing at least two-thirds of the Company's outstanding Class B ordinary shares.

Subject to adjustment for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein, the Founder Shares, which are designated as Class B ordinary shares, will be convertible at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis or will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination at a ratio such that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding (excluding the Private Placement Shares and including any Class A ordinary share issued pursuant to the underwriter's over-allotment option and including any Class A ordinary shares that may have been issued on a one-for-one basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares at the option of the holder thereof prior to the initial Business Combination pursuant to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association) upon consummation of the Initial Public Offering, plus (ii) the sum of the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable

upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Business Combination and any private placement-equivalent shares issued to the Sponsor, members of the management team or any of their affiliates upon conversion of Working Capital Loans made to the Company. In no event will the Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than one to one.

#### NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities reflects management's estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

At December 31, 2025, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $234 in cash and $91,872,184 in U.S. Treasury securities. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company withdrew $600,000 of interest income from the Trust Account to fund working capital as permitted.

At December 31, 2024, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $430 in cash and $88,653,967 in U.S. Treasury securities. During the period from March 22, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account.

The following tables present information about the Company's assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2025 and 2024 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value. The gross holding gains and fair value of held-to-maturity securities at December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Held to Maturity** | **Level** | **Amortized** <br>**Cost** | **Gross** <br>**Holding** <br>**Gain** | **Fair Value**  |
| December 31, 2025  | U.S. Treasury Securities (matured February 19, 2026)  | 1 | $91837137 | $35047 | $91872184 |

#### NOTE 8. SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC Topic 280, "Segment Reporting," establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

The Company's CODM has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one operating segment.

The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (loss) that also is reported on the consolidated statements of operations as net income (loss). The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company's performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in net income and total assets, which include the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **As of** <br>**December 31,** <br>**2025** | **As of** <br>**December 31,**<br>**2024**  |
| Cash  | $865031 | $1129684  |
| Investments held in Trust Account  | $91872418 | $88654397 |

---

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **For the Year**<br>**Ended**<br>**December 31,**<br>**2025** | **For the Period from**<br>**March 22, 2024**<br>(Inception) Through<br>**December 31,**<br>**2024**  |
| General and administrative expenses  | $2980553 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$494005  |
| Interest earned on investments held in Trust Account  | $3821319 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$2366001 |

---

The CODM reviews interest earned on investments held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the Trust Agreement.

General and administrative expenses are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination or similar transaction within the business combination period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General and administrative expenses, as reported on the consolidated statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.

All other segment items included in net income are reported on the consolidated statements of operations and described within their respective disclosures. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

#### NOTE 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

#### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Freenome Holdings, Inc.

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Freenome Holdings, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, convertible preferred stock and stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

#### The Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management's plans regarding these matters also are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

#### Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2019.

#### Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

#### Note 1—Description of Business
Freenome Holdings, Inc. (together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the "Company") is a biotechnology company pioneering an early cancer detection platform. The Company's initial programs are focused on colorectal cancer with a pipeline of single-cancer and multi-cancer tests under development, including lung, breast, cervical, liver, pancreatic and esophageal cancers.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 2016. The Company's headquarters are located in Brisbane, California.

#### Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

#### Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). Any reference in these notes to applicable accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP included in the Accounting Standards Codifications ("ASCs") and Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

#### Liquidity and Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $219.3 million, used $110.7 million of cash in operations and had an accumulated deficit of $1.3 billion. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $216.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities. Based on its current operating plan, the Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities as of December 31, 2025, will not be sufficient to fund its anticipated operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Management has therefore concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months following the issuance of these financial statements. The Company is pursuing a transaction with a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC") and expects to use the proceeds from the SPAC transaction to support its operations. There can be no assurance that the SPAC transaction will be successful. In the event the Company does not complete its SPAC transaction, the Company may seek additional equity or debt financing, including through strategic partnerships. The Company also plans to manage its cash burn by controlling expenditures. Failure to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, raise additional capital, and manage discretionary spending could have a material impact on the Company's ability to achieve its intended business objectives, including the inability to continue with its research and development activities, the delay, reduction, or elimination of some or all of its planned activities, and the reduction of costs. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company expects to incur additional losses in the future and will be required to raise additional capital to further advance its research and development ("R&D") programs, prepare for potential regulatory submissions, commercialize tests that receive regulatory approval, if any, operate its business, and meet its financial obligations as they come due. If the Company has insufficient funding to meet its working capital needs, it could be required to modify, delay, or reduce the scope of, or terminate some of, its R&D activities and/or limit or cease operations, which could harm its business, operating results, financial condition, and ability to achieve its intended business objectives. If the Company's cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities are not sufficient to enable the Company to fund its operations, the Company may need to raise additional funds through the sale of additional equity, debt financings, grants, or strategic alliances with third parties, which may be dilutive to existing stockholders. There can be no assurances that such funding sources will be available at terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

#### Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods, and the accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are based on management's knowledge about current events and expectations about actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

These judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to, the determination of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fair value of the Company's convertible preferred stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fair value of the Company's common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• impairment assessment of goodwill and intangible assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• impairment assessment and recoverability of long-lived assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• stock-based compensation expense and related assumptions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• income tax uncertainties and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• performance obligations within a contract and the determination of standalone selling price ("SSP") for each performance obligation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fair value of the convertible notes.

In addition, management's assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern involves an estimation of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed considering changes in circumstances, facts, or experience. Changes in estimates and assumptions are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known.

#### Segment Information
The Company operates as one operating and reportable segment. The Company's Chief Executive Officer serves as the chief operating decision maker (the "CODM") and manages the Company's operations on a consolidated basis for the purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Factors used in determining the reportable segment include the nature of the Company's activities, its organizational and reporting structure, and the type of information reviewed by the CODM. The CODM reviews significant segment expenses based on financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance and allocating resources (See Note 23).

#### Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to companies in the biopharmaceutical and diagnostic test industries, including, but not limited to, risks associated with failure or unsatisfactory results of nonclinical and clinical studies, the need for significant capital to fund clinical trials and development of its diagnostic test candidates, dependence on strategic relationships with collaboration partners and key personnel, the ability to develop, secure, and protect proprietary technology rights, compliance with government regulations, the development of technological innovations by competitors, and dependence on third-party service providers.

The Company relies on a limited number of third-party manufacturers and service providers, some of whom are sole suppliers or service providers, for a portion of the components, accessories, reagents, materials, and equipment that

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Freenome Holdings, Inc.

#### Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
it uses in its operations. A disruption or interruption in supply from these suppliers, or in the operations of such suppliers, would negatively impact the Company's business, supply chain, and laboratory operations.

The Company's business and operations may be affected by worldwide economic conditions, which may continue to be impacted by global macroeconomic challenges, such as the effects of the ongoing geopolitical conflicts in Venezuela, Ukraine, and the Middle East, tensions in U.S.–China relations, tensions in U.S.–Canada and Mexico relations related to tariffs, and uncertainty in the financial markets, including disruptions in the banking industry and inflationary trends.

#### Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposits in banks and all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash (maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase).

Restricted cash consists of funds held or designated to satisfy the requirements of certain agreements that are restricted in their use. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company's restricted cash consisted of cash deposits required to support irrevocable standby letters of credit provided to the landlord pursuant to certain lease agreements. The Company determines current or non-current classification of restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets based on the expected duration of the restriction. The Company's restricted cash totaled $9.1 million at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

#### Marketable Securities
Investments in marketable securities are held in custodial accounts at a financial institution and managed by the Company's investment advisor based on the Company's investment policy guidelines. The Company considers all highly liquid investments in securities with a maturity of greater than three months at the time of purchase to be marketable securities. The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income until realized.

The amended guidance from ASU 2016-13, *Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments*, requires the measurement of expected credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities held at the reporting date over the remaining life based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company evaluates its investment portfolio under the available-for-sale debt securities impairment model guidance.

#### Concentrations of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities. The Company's cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash are maintained in bank deposit accounts and money market funds that regularly exceed federally insured limits. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions holding its cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash to the extent account balances exceed the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. However, the Company minimizes the risks by investing cash that is not required for immediate operating needs primarily in highly liquid financial instruments. The Company has established guidelines relative to diversification and maturities of investments to maintain safety and liquidity. The Company has not historically experienced any significant credit losses related to these financial instruments and does not believe that it is exposed to any significant credit risk related to these financial instruments.

#### Fair Value Measurements
The Company utilizes fair value measurement guidance prescribed by accounting standards to value its financial instruments. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy for financial instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company's own assumptions (unobservable inputs). Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are

------

#### Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Fair value is defined as the exchange price, or exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, in accordance with ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurement*, the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable. These levels are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1—inputs, which include unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2— inputs, which include observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3— inputs, which include unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the underlying asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.

To the extent the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

Marketable securities that are classified as available-for-sale are recorded at estimated fair value and are included in Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company classifies its money market funds and U.S. treasury securities, which are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets with no valuation adjustment, as Level 1 assets within the fair value hierarchy. Marketable securities in U.S. government agency securities, certain U.S. treasury securities and commercial paper are classified as Level 2 assets within the fair value hierarchy as the fair value of these marketable securities is based on market prices from a variety of industry standard data providers and generally represents quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or has been derived from observable market data (see Note 5).

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying value of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and convertible note, related party approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments. The fair value of intangible assets is determined using methodologies such as the multi-period excess earnings method and the discounted cash-flow method, which require the use of significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements (see Note 3). Fair value estimates of the Company's financial instruments are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information.

#### Convertible Note, at fair value
ASC 825, *Financial Instruments*, provides a fair value option election that allows entities to make an irrevocable election of fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain eligible financial assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value pursuant to this guidance are required to be reported separately in the consolidated balance sheets or the footnotes from those instruments using another measurement method. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings.

The Company elected to measure the Convertible Note issued to Exact Sciences Corporation (the "Exact Convertible Note") using the fair value option at each reporting date. See Note 18 for more information regarding the Convertible Note issued to Exact Sciences.

#### Convertible Note with a related party
The Company did not elect the fair value option for the Convertible Note with a related party. The Convertible Note with a related party was accounted for using the interest method under ASC 835-30, *Interest – Imputation of Interest* ("ASC 835-30"). See Note 18 for more information regarding the Convertible Note entered into with a related party during the period.

#### Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed over estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method, once the asset is installed and placed into service. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the remaining term of the lease. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheets and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations in the period realized.

The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Estimated Useful Life (in years)**  |
| Machinery and equipment | 5 years  |
| Computer software | 3 years  |
| Computer equipment  | 2 - 5 years  |
| Laboratory equipment | 5 years  |
| Furniture and fixtures | 7 years  |
| Leasehold improvements | Shorter of estimated useful life or remaining lease term |

---

#### Business Combinations
Business Combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805, *Business Combinations*. The acquisition method requires identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingencies, to be recorded at the fair value determined at the acquisition date, which is the date that the acquirer obtains control of the acquired business. The Company determines whether substantially all of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, and whether the assets and activities transferred include inputs and substantive processes that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, which would constitute a business. If the acquired assets and activities constitute a business, the Company accounts for the transaction as a business combination and determines the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill represents the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The operating results of acquired businesses are included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations from the date of acquisition.

Purchased intangible assets are recorded at fair value. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to value intangible assets. Significant judgment is used in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as identified intangible assets and their estimated useful lives. Fair value and useful life determinations may be based on valuations that utilize among other factors, estimates of revenue growth rates, operating expenses, integration costs, obsolescence factors, future expected cash flows and discount rates attributable to completed technology and other acquired intangible assets. When estimating the assumptions to be used in the valuation, the Company includes a consideration of current industry information, market and economic trends, historical results of the acquired business, and other relevant factors. Adjustments to fair values of assets and liabilities made after the end of the measurement period are recorded within operating results. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

#### Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company's amortizable intangible assets include developed technology and customer relationships, which are amortized using a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Finite-lived intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, *Property, Plant and Equipment*.

In accordance with ASC 350, *Intangibles-Goodwill and Other*, goodwill is not amortized but is tested on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in business climate, increased competition, or other economic conditions.

The Company evaluates goodwill for possible impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis during its fourth quarter each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Freenome Holdings, Inc.

#### Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
amount of such assets may not be recoverable. ASC 350 allows an optional one-step qualitative assessment, prior to a quantitative assessment test, to determine whether it is "more likely than not" that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. Qualitative factors considered in this assessment include industry and market conditions, overall financial performance, and other relevant events and factors affecting the Company's business. Based on the quantitative and qualitative assessment, if it is determined that the fair value of goodwill is more likely than not to be less than its carrying amount, the fair value of a reporting unit will be calculated and compared with its carrying amount and an impairment charge will be recognized for the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The Company did not record any impairment of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

#### Impairment of Long-lived Assets
ASC 360 is applicable to all long-lived assets subject to amortization that are classified as held and used, regardless of whether they are tangible or intangible. Assets subject to this guidance include property and equipment, assets acquired under capital leases, long-term prepaid assets, and finite-lived intangible assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets classified as held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable.

Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

#### Leases
Operating leases primarily include lease arrangements for the Company's corporate headquarters, laboratory facilities, and warehouse facilities (see Note 10). Operating leases with a term of more than one year are included in operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease ROU assets are recognized in Property and equipment, net on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

The Company determines if an arrangement includes a lease at the inception of the agreement. For each of the Company's lease arrangements, the Company records a ROU asset representing the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and a lease liability representing the Company's obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the net present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the lease liabilities, as the Company's leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur at lease inception to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of the lease within a particular currency environment. ROU assets initially equal the lease liability, adjusted for any prepaid lease payments and initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives received. Lease expense for the Company's operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease costs are expensed as incurred. The Company has lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leased assets and accounts for all lease and non-lease components of its agreements as a single lease component. The Company also elected the practical expedient not to apply the recognition and measurement requirements to short-term leases in which ROU assets and lease liabilities are not recognized for leases with terms of 12 months or less as of the lease commencement date.

Certain of the Company's leases include renewal options which allow the Company to, at its election, renew or extend the lease for a fixed or indefinite period of time. These renewal periods are included in the lease terms when the Company is reasonably certain the options will be exercised based on an assessment of economic factors present as of the lease commencement date.

The Company also leases certain equipment used for R&D activities under finance lease agreements. An asset and a corresponding liability for the finance lease obligations are established for the cost of a finance lease. Finance lease assets are included in property and equipment and are immaterial as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

#### Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company records convertible preferred stock at fair value on the dates of issuance, net of issuance costs. The Company classifies convertible preferred stock outside of stockholders' deficit on its consolidated balance sheets as the requirements of triggering a deemed liquidation event are not within the Company's control, including the sale or transfer of the Company by holders of the convertible preferred stock which could trigger redemption of the shares. In the event of a deemed liquidation event, the proceeds from the event are to be distributed in accordance with liquidation preferences (see Note 11). The Company will adjust the carrying value of the convertible preferred stock to their redemption values when it becomes probable that a liquidation event will occur. The Company did not accrete the value of the convertible preferred stock to the redemption values since a future change in control event was not considered probable as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Subsequent adjustments of the carrying values to the ultimate redemption values will be made only when it becomes probable that such liquidation events will occur, causing the shares of convertible preferred stock to become redeemable. The Company also evaluates the features of its convertible preferred stock to determine if the features require bifurcation from the underlying shares, by evaluating if they are clearly and closely related to the underlying shares and if they do, or do not, meet the definition of a derivative.

#### Treasury Stock
The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method, which recognizes the entire cost of the acquired stock, as a reduction in additional paid-in-capital, as the Company has no retained earnings, and is presented as treasury stock on the consolidated balance sheets. Reacquired common or preferred shares may be retired by resolution of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") or based on the terms of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as may be amended from time to time, and resume the status of authorized and unissued common stock. Upon the formal retirement of treasury shares, the common stock balance is reduced for the par value of the shares. The excess of the acquisition cost of repurchased shares over the par value is recognized in additional paid-in capital. All retired treasury shares revert to the status of authorized but unissued shares.

#### Revenue Recognition
The Company analyzes its collaboration and license arrangements to assess whether such arrangements, or transactions between arrangement participants, involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of such activities or are more akin to a vendor-customer relationship. In making this evaluation, the Company considers whether the activities of the collaboration and license are considered to be distinct and deemed to be within the scope of the *ASC 808 — Collaborative Agreements* or those that are more reflective of a vendor-customer relationship and, therefore, within the scope of *ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers*. This assessment is performed throughout the life of the arrangement based on changes in the responsibilities of all parties in the arrangement.

For arrangements or transactions between arrangement participants determined to be within the scope ASC 606, the Company evaluates the term of the arrangement and recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services in a contract for an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For contracts with customers, the Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (1) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (2) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (3) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

As part of the accounting for these arrangements, the Company must use its judgment to determine: (a) the number of performance obligations based on the determination under step (2) above; (b) the transaction price under step (3) above; (c) the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract for the allocation of transaction price in step (4) above; and (d) the contract term and pattern of satisfaction of the performance obligations under step (5) above. The Company also uses judgment to determine whether milestones or other variable consideration, except for royalties, should be included in the transaction price as described further below. The

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Freenome Holdings, Inc.

#### Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, for which the Company recognizes revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition.

At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company or the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. The Company evaluates factors such as the scientific, clinical, regulatory, commercial and other risks that must be overcome to achieve the particular milestone in making this assessment. There is considerable judgment involved in determining whether it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur. At the end of each reporting period, the Company reevaluates the probability of achievement of all milestones that were constrained and, if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect revenues and earnings or losses in the period of adjustment.

For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on sales thresholds, and for which the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). To date, the Company has not recognized any royalty revenue resulting from any of our arrangements. The accounting for these arrangements requires us to develop estimates and assumptions that require judgment. These estimates may include items such as forecasted revenues or costs, development timelines, discount rates, and probabilities of technical and regulatory success. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.

The Company records accounts receivable when its right to receive consideration is solely based on the passage of time. Amounts received prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Amounts expected to be recognized as revenue within one year following the balance sheet date are classified as deferred revenue, current. Amounts not expected to be recognized as revenue within one year following the balance sheet date are classified as deferred revenue, non-current. Payment terms and conditions generally require payment within 60 days of invoicing. See Note 16, Revenues, for more information.

#### Cost of Services
Cost of services reflect the aggregate costs incurred in delivering the Company's products and services and is composed of material and service costs including personnel costs, cost of consumables, kits, contract maintenance, labor, and freight associated with the service and other revenue.

#### Research and Development Expenses
Research and Development ("R&D") costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs include, but are not limited to, salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation expenses, reagents and laboratory supplies and equipment, consulting costs, as well as external R&D expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, and other overhead expenses and costs. Payments, including non-refundable advance payments, made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in R&D activities are deferred and recognized as expense in the period in which the related goods are received or services are rendered. Costs to develop the Company's technology capabilities are recorded as R&D expenses unless they meet the criteria to be capitalized as internal-use software costs. No costs have been capitalized through December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company does not capitalize pre-launch inventory costs until it obtains premarket regulatory approval for its diagnostic tests and future economic benefits are expected to be realized. Until regulatory approval is obtained, materials, equipment, and validation costs associated with the Company's diagnostic workflow process that do not have an alternative future use are expensed as R&D costs. Accordingly, no inventory costs have been capitalized as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

#### Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Clinical and pre-clinical trial costs are a component of R&D expenses. The Company accrues and expenses clinical and pre-clinical trial activities performed by third parties based upon actual work completed in accordance with agreements established with its service providers.

#### Stock-Based Compensation
The Company awards stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs") to directors and employees. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation plans using the fair value recognition and measurement provisions under U.S. GAAP.

For equity awards that vest subject to the satisfaction of service requirements, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. The Company recognizes forfeitures in the period in which such forfeiture occurs and records stock-based compensation expense as though all awards are expected to vest.

The Company estimates the grant date fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the use of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expected Term— The expected term represents the period that the Company's stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and is determined using the simplified method in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 107 and 110 (based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expected Volatility— The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatility for industry peers, as the Company did not have any trading history for its common stock. The Company expects to continue to utilize peer volatility until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding the volatility of its own traded common stock price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expected Risk Free Interest Rate— The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on U.S. Treasury instruments whose term was consistent with the expected term of the Company's stock options; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expected Dividend Yield— The Company has never paid, and does not anticipate paying in the foreseeable future, cash dividends on its common stock. Consequently, an expected dividend yield of zero was used.

The Company determines RSU fair values based on the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock of the Company on the grant date of the award. The vesting of the Company's RSUs is conditioned on the satisfaction of two vesting requirements: a time-based requirement and a Liquidity Event Requirement (LER). The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for awards with a performance-based vesting condition over the requisite service period using the accelerated attribution method if the performance condition is deemed probable of being met.

The fair value of the Company's common stock is determined by the Company's board of directors with the assistance of management. The approach to estimating the fair value of the Company's common stock is consistent with the methods outlined in American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Accounting and Valuation Guide, *Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation* (the "Practice Aid"). In accordance with the Practice Aid, the Company determined the hybrid method was the most appropriate method for determining the fair value of the common stock based on the Company's stage of development and other relevant factors. The hybrid method is a probability-weighted expected return method ("PWERM"), where the equity value in one or more scenarios is calculated using an option pricing model ("OPM"). The Company determined this was the most appropriate method for determining the fair value of the common stock based on the Company's stage of development and other relevant factors. The PWERM is a scenario-based analysis that estimates the value per share of the common stock based on the probability-weighted present value of expected future equity values for the common stock, under various possible future liquidity event scenarios, considering the rights and preferences of each class of shares, and discounted for a lack of marketability. Under the hybrid method, an OPM was utilized to determine the fair value of the common stock in certain of the PWERM scenarios (capturing situations where the Company's development path and future liquidity

events were difficult to forecast), and potential exit events were explicitly modeled in the other PWERM scenarios. A discount for lack of marketability was applied to the value derived under each scenario to account for a lack of access to an active public market to estimate the common stock fair value.

#### Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of changes in deferred tax balances. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce all or a portion of deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the US and foreign jurisdictions. Judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes.

Recording an uncertain tax position involves various qualitative considerations, including evaluation of comparable and resolved tax exposures, applicability of tax laws, and likelihood of settlement. The Company recognizes and measures uncertain tax positions using a two-step approach set forth in authoritative guidance. The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If it is not more likely than not that a position will be sustained, none of the benefit attributable to the position is recognized. The tax benefit to be recognized for any tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is calculated as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon resolution of the contingency. Judgment is required to evaluate uncertain tax positions. The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions on a regular basis. The evaluations are based on a number of factors, including changes in facts and circumstances, changes in tax law, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of the audit, and effective settlement of audit issues.

#### Interest and Investment Income, net
Interest and investment income, net consists of interest income, amortization/accretion of purchase premiums/discounts for marketable securities, realized gains (losses) on sales of marketable securities, and expected credit losses, if any.

#### Interest expense
Interest expense consists primarily of coupon interest expense (cash interest), issuance costs and non-cash amortization of the debt discount on the convertible promissory note.

#### Net Loss Per Share
The Company calculates basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company considers its convertible preferred stock to be participating securities as, in the event a dividend is paid on common stock, the holders of convertible preferred stock and unvested shares of common stock would be entitled to receive dividends on a basis consistent with the common stockholders. The net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the convertible preferred stock as the holders of those securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses.

Under the two-class method, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration of potential dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potential dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period if the effect is dilutive. During all periods presented, the Company incurred net losses attributable to common stockholders. Accordingly, the effect of any common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive during those periods and are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders. See Note 14 for further information.

#### Deferred Offering Costs
The Company capitalizes certain legal, accounting and other third-party fees that are directly related to the Company's in-process equity financings until such financings are consummated. After consummation of the equity financing, these costs are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds received as a result of the equity financing. Should a planned equity financing be abandoned, terminated or significantly delayed, the deferred offering costs will be immediately written off to general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has recorded $4.5 million of deferred offering costs in Other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets. There were no deferred offering costs as of December 31, 2024.

#### Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, *Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures* ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires companies to make additional disclosures on an annual basis related to specific categories in the rate reconciliation, provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, and disclose additional information about income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. For public business entities, ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For other entities, it is effective for annual periods beginning a year later. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this pronouncement prospectively for the annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2025. The adoption of ASU impacts the Company's annual disclosures only, which are reflected herein Note 15—Taxes to the consolidated financial statements.

#### Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve disclosures by requiring additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an annual and interim basis. The standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The standard updates may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure requirements related to this new standard.

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-03, Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity, which revises current guidance for determining the accounting acquirer for a transaction effected primarily by exchanging equity interests in which the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity that meets the definition of a business. The amendments require that an entity consider the same factors that are currently required for determining which entity is the accounting acquirer in other acquisition transactions. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The standard is required to be applied prospectively. The Company is evaluating adoption timing and the impact the standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

#### Note 3— Acquisition of Oncimmune Ltd.
In May 2023, the Company acquired Oncimmune Ltd. and its subsidiary, Oncimmune Europe GmbH (collectively "Oncimmune"), a global immunodiagnostics developer with a commercial product, EarlyCDT Lung, which is a blood test that detects the elevated levels of autoantibodies generated by the body's immune system of patients in the earliest stages of lung cancer. The acquisition of Oncimmune provides the Company with clinical and commercial resources to complement the Company's frontline screening efforts. Oncimmune's pipeline of autoantibody targets for other cancer indications is anticipated to augment the Company's multiomics platform with additional non-tumor-derived signals to capture a more comprehensive view of the tumor microenvironment.

The Company purchased all of the outstanding stock in Oncimmune for total consideration of $16.2 million, with $1.6 million paid in cash to shareholders and $14.5 million paid in cash to existing lenders. The acquisition did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

The Company recognized intangible assets related to this acquisition of $5.5 million for acquired developed technology and $0.5 million for customer relationships, both with an estimated useful life of 6 years (see Note 4).

#### Note 5—Fair Value Measurements
The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires that certain assets and liabilities be reflected at their fair value. The fair value of these financial instruments is based on valuations that include inputs that can be classified within one of three levels of a hierarchy established by U.S. GAAP (see Note 2). The following table summarizes the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and their respective input levels based on the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the periods presented.

The fair value of the Exact Convertible Note was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which causes them to be classified as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the convertible note was determined as of the valuation date using a Monte Carlo Simulation Model. The methodology consists of simulating the value of the stock price to maturity or early conversion to determine the timing and amount of the debt payoff. The payoff amount is then discounted back to the valuation date considering a Company specific cost of debt.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation as of December 31, 2025 included the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Estimated Stock Price | $2.44  |
| Credit Spread | 8.9% |

---

The fair value of the Exact Convertible Note may change significantly by the estimated stock price and credit spread, impacting the Company's assumptions regarding probabilities of outcomes used to estimate the fair value. The estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. Any

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
increase or decrease in the fair value of the Company's estimated stock price would result in an increase or decrease in the valuation of the Exact Convertible Note. A change in the credit spread would not impact the estimated fair value of the Company's stock price. Accordingly, the use of a different market assumption may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts, and such changes could impact the Company's results of operations in future periods. There was no significant change in the fair value of the Exact Convertible Note as of December 31, 2025.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has not realized any impairment charges on its marketable securities related to expected credit losses. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the aggregate difference between the amortized cost and fair value of each security in an unrealized loss position was deemed to be minimal. Since any provision for expected credit losses for a security is limited to the amount the fair value less than its amortized cost, no allowance for expected credit loss was deemed necessary as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. None of the available-for-sale securities held as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 have been in an unrealized loss position for more than one year. See Note 5 for further information regarding the fair value of the Company's investments in marketable securities.

There were no long-term marketable securities as of December 31, 2025, and 2024.

#### Note 9—Commitment and Contingencies

#### Legal Contingencies
The Company may be, from time to time, a party to various disputes and claims arising from normal business activities. The Company accrues for loss contingencies when available information indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of such liability can be reasonably estimated. For cases in which the Company believes that a reasonably possible loss exists, the Company discloses the facts and circumstances of the loss contingency, including an estimable range, if possible. Management believes that there are currently no claims or actions pending against the Company where the ultimate disposition could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

#### Indemnification Agreements
The Company has agreed to indemnify its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while the officer or director was serving at the Company's request in such capacity. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification liability is unlimited; however, the Company holds directors' and officers' liability insurance which limits the Company's exposure and may enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.

In the normal course of business, the Company also enters into contracts and agreements with service providers and other parties with which it conducts business that contain indemnification provisions pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify the party against certain types of third-party claims. From time to time, the Company

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Freenome Holdings, Inc.

#### Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
may receive indemnification claims under these contracts in the normal course of business. The Company has not experienced any material losses related to these indemnification provisions and has no material claims with respect thereto. The Company does not expect significant claims related to these indemnification provisions and, consequently, concluded that the fair value of any obligations is negligible, and no related accruals have been established. In the event that one or more of these matters were to result in a claim against the Company, an adverse outcome, including a judgment or settlement, may cause a material adverse effect on the Company's future business, operating results, or financial condition.

#### Purchase Commitments
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements containing non-cancellable purchase commitments for goods and services with various parties. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has a non-cancellable cloud services agreement and has committed to purchase cloud computing services totaling $119.2 million over the remaining period of the agreement through January 31, 2029. Other non-cancellable unconditional purchase commitments having a remaining term over one year were as follows (in thousands):

#### Note 10—Leases
The Company's lease portfolio consists primarily of operating leases for its current corporate headquarters, laboratory facilities, and warehouse facilities, with lease terms ranging from 1 to 11 years. Certain of the Company's operating leases contain optional renewal periods to extend the lease terms, which are not reasonably assured. As leases approach maturity, the Company considers various factors such as market conditions and the terms of any renewal options that may exist to determine whether it will renew the lease. Consequently, the Company does not include renewal options in its lease terms for calculating its lease liability, as the renewal options allow it to maintain operational flexibility and the Company is not reasonably certain it will exercise these renewal options at the time of the lease commencement. The Company's operating leases include various covenants, indemnities, defaults, termination rights, security deposits and other provisions customary for lease transactions of this nature.

The Company's most significant operating lease pertains to an 11-year lease agreement for approximately 335,419 square feet used as its corporate headquarters, office, and laboratory space in two buildings (building I and building III) located in Brisbane, California. The lease will continue for an initial term of 11 years, with options to extend the term for two successive five-year periods after the initial expiration date. The lease required the Company to deliver an irrevocable standby letter of credit to the lessor for the duration of the lease in the amount of $8.9 million, which may be drawn down by the lessor. The lease for buildings III and I commenced in February 2023 and March 2023, respectively, when the landlord delivered the premises to the Company for construction of certain tenant improvements. In connection with this lease, the landlord agreed to fund $78.9 million in tenant improvements, less approximately $1.0 million administration fee. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has incurred $77.9 million in certain tenant improvement costs, of which $77.9 million had been reimbursed by the landlord. The lease also requires the Company to pay additional amounts for operating and maintenance expenses. At the commencement dates, the lease resulted in an increase to ROU assets of $109.2 million and corresponding lease liabilities of $108.6 million, including net prepaid rent of $0.6 million.

#### Note 11—Convertible Preferred Stock
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold an aggregate of 35.7 million shares of Series F preferred stock at $7.39866 per share for gross cash proceeds of $264.0 million. The issuance of the Series F convertible preferred stock triggered the anti-dilution protection provision for Series D and E preferred stockholders. As a result, the Company recorded a $6.9 million deemed dividend for the change in fair value of the Series D and E convertible

preferred stock before and after the anti-dilution adjustment.

The Company evaluated the rights, preferences, and privileges of each series of convertible preferred stock and concluded that there were no freestanding derivative instruments or any embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation. As of December 31, 2025, the convertible preferred stock has the following rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Dividends Rights** – The holders of shares of convertible preferred stock (the "preferred stockholders") are entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends, as adjusted for stock splits, dividends, reclassifications or the like, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividends to the holders of shares of the Company's common stock ("common stock," and the holders of common stock, the "common stockholders"), when and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), at a rate of 6.0% of the applicable Original Issue Price (as defined) per annum on each outstanding share of convertible preferred stock. The Board has not declared any dividends to date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Voting Rights** – The preferred stockholders are entitled to voting rights equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which each share of convertible preferred stock could be converted. In addition, so long as at least 2,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock are outstanding, the holders of shares of Series A preferred stock, voting together as a separate class, are entitled to elect one member of the Board. So long as at least 2,000,000 shares of Series B preferred stock are outstanding, the holders of shares of Series B preferred stock, voting together as a separate class, are entitled to elect one member of the Board. So long as at least 2,000,000 shares of Series C preferred stock are outstanding, the holders of shares of Series C preferred stock, voting together as a separate class, are entitled to elect one member of the Board. So long as at least 2,000,000 shares of Series E preferred stock are outstanding, the holders of shares of Series E preferred stock, voting together as a separate class, are entitled to elect two members of the Board. The common stockholders, voting exclusively and as a separate class, are entitled to elect one member of the Board. The preferred stockholders and the common stockholders, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, are entitled to elect any remaining members of the Board.

#### Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Liquidation Rights** – In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, including certain mergers, consolidations, and asset sales, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of convertible preferred stock then outstanding, on a pari passu basis, are entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to the common stockholders, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the applicable Original Issue Price, plus declared but unpaid dividends, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of convertible preferred stock been converted into shares of common stock, as adjusted for stock splits, dividends, reclassifications or the like. If, upon occurrence of such an event, the assets and funds distributed among the holders of shares of convertible preferred stock are insufficient to permit the above payment to such holders, then the assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution to the holders of shares of convertible preferred stock will be distributed ratably among the holders in proportion to the preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive. Following these payments, the remaining assets and surplus funds of the Company, if any, will be distributed ratably among the common stockholders based on the number of shares of common stock held.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Redemption Rights** – The convertible preferred stock is not redeemable by the preferred stockholders except in connection with a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined) which does not include the dissolution of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Conversion Rights** – Each share of preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time after the date of issuance into the number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the Original Issue Price by the Conversion Price (as defined). The Conversion Price for each series of convertible preferred stock was initially equal to the Original Issue Price for such series, and as of December 31, 2025, each share of convertible preferred stock (other than for the Series D and E preferred stock) is convertible into one share of common stock. The issuance of the Series F preferred stock triggered the anti-dilution protection provision for the Series D and E preferred stock. As a result, the Conversion Price per share for each of the Series D and E preferred stock was adjusted from $7.54230 and $11.6670 to $7.52334 and $11.10351, respectively, and accordingly, each share of Series D and E preferred stock is convertible into 1.0025 and 1.0507 shares of common stock. Shares of convertible preferred stock automatically convert into shares of common stock upon the earlier of (i) the closing of a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of common stock where the gross proceeds to the Company are not less than $100.0 million, or (ii) the vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis and the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C, D, E, and F preferred stock voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Registration Rights** – The preferred stockholders have the right to request the Company to file certain registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the registration of shares related to the convertible preferred stock. The obligations of the Company regarding such registration rights include, but are not limited to, reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, keep such registration statement effective for up to 120 days, prepare and file amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, and notify each selling holder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed. The terms of the registration rights provide for the payment of certain expenses related to the registration of the shares, including a capped reimbursement of legal fees of a single special counsel for the preferred stockholders but do not impose any obligations for the Company to pay additional consideration to the holders in case a registration statement is not declared effective.

#### Note 12—Common Stock
The Company's Certificate of Amendment of Restated Certificate of Incorporation dated September 23, 2022, authorizes the Company to issue 250,662,559 shares of common stock. In January 2024, the Company adopted the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, pursuant to which the number of shares of all classes of stock which the Company shall have authority to issue was increased to (i) 302,184,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share and (ii) 213,700,719 shares of preferred stock, $.0001 par value per share. The rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of the convertible preferred stock is consistent in all material respects with the disclosures presented in Note 11.

#### Retirement of the Treasury Shares
In 2019, the Company repurchased 3,274,353 shares of common stock, which were not retired, and recorded $2.6 million of treasury stock on the consolidated balance sheet at that time. There was no change to the treasury stock since the repurchase in 2019, and the treasury stock remained at $2.6 million as of December 31, 2024. In February 2025, the Board of Directors approved the retirement of the 3,274,353 shares of common stock that were repurchased by the Company in 2019. Upon the formal retirement of treasury shares, the acquisition cost of repurchased shares of $2.6 million was reclassified out of treasury stock and recognized in additional paid-in capital. The retired treasury shares revert to the status of authorized and unissued common shares.

#### Note 13—Stock-Based Compensation

#### 2016 Equity Incentive Plan
In May 2016, the Company adopted the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2016 Amended Plan"). The Company's employees, directors, officers, and consultants are eligible to receive awards under the 2016 Amended Plan. Under the 2016 Amended Plan, the Company may issue incentive stock options ("ISOs"), non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), restricted stock unit awards ("RSUs"), and other stock awards. In January 2024, the Board approved and adopted an amendment to the 2016 Amended Plan to increase the maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock reserved for issuance of awards thereunder by 12,355,959 shares, from 62,941,738 shares to 75,297,697 shares. As of December 31, 2025, a total of 10.8 million shares of common stock were available for future issuance under the 2016 Amended Plan.

#### Stock Options
Each non-statutory stock option granted under the 2016 Amended Plan has an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock on the grant date. Each ISO granted under the 2016 Amended Plan has an exercise price per share not less than the fair value of a share of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. Options granted under the 2016 Amended Plan expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. For a 10% shareholder, the exercise price of an ISO granted is at least 110% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant with an expiration period of 5 years from the grant date. Options granted to newly hired employees generally vest over a four-year period with 25% vesting at the end of one year and the remaining vesting monthly thereafter. The Company may grant options under different vesting schedules.

The Company may allow employees to exercise options granted under the 2016 Amended Plan prior to vesting. The unvested shares are subject to the Company's repurchase right at the original purchase price in the event the optionee's employment is terminated either voluntarily or involuntarily. The proceeds are initially recorded as an accrued liability from the early exercise of stock options and reclassified to common stock as the Company's repurchase right lapses. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, there were no unvested shares outstanding.

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the pre-tax difference between the underlying common stock fair value and the weighted average exercise price of the stock options. The calculation excludes any stock options with an exercise price higher than the fair value of the Company's common stock as of December 31, 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, there were 23,203,315, and 11,812,686 vested stock options outstanding, respectively.

The Company estimated the fair value of each stock option on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model applying the weighted-average assumptions in the following table:

#### Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock Awards
The vesting of RSUs is conditioned on the satisfaction of two vesting requirements before the expiration date or earlier termination of the RSUs pursuant to the 2016 Amended Plan or the RSU Agreement: a time- and service-based requirement and a Liquidity Event Requirement. The Liquidity Event Requirement will be satisfied on the earliest to occur of: (i) the date that is the earlier of (1) six months after the effective date of an initial public offering of the Company and (2) March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which the initial public offering was declared effective; and (ii) the date of a change of control (as defined). Since the satisfaction of the Liquidity Event Requirement involves numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of the Company's control, the performance condition is not deemed to be probable until the event actually occurs. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation expense for RSUs has been recognized to date and none of the RSUs have satisfied the two-tiered vesting requirement as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Restricted Stock Awards (RSAs) are grants of the Company's common stock where the rights of the recipient are restricted until the shares are completely vested or there is a lapse in restrictions.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Separation Agreement with its former Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, the Company modified the terms of certain outstanding stock options, accelerating the vesting of 1,063,867 outstanding stock options, which was determined to be an improbable-to-probable (Type III) modification. The Company also amended the post-separation exercise period of 6,687,027 shares of vested and unexercised stock options as of the date of separation, which was determined to be a probable-to-probable (Type I) modification. This resulted in the recognition of $7.6 million of incremental stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was approximately $69.4 million and consisted of $17.6 million related to stock options that are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.4 years, and $51.8 million related to RSUs with performance conditions that are not considered probable of vesting.

#### Note 14—Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

The Company's effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 is different from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets as a result of insufficient sources of income.

The reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to the Company's effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 is as follows:

The Company assesses the realizability of the deferred tax assets at each balance sheet date by considering both positive and negative evidence in order to determine the amount which is more likely than not to be realized and records a valuation allowance as necessary. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Due to the Company's cumulative loss position which provides significant negative evidence, which is difficult to overcome, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $391.6 million and $347.4 million as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, representing the portion of the deferred tax asset

that is not more likely than not to be realized. During the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, the valuation allowance increased by $44.2 million and $90.4 million, respectively, which was primarily due to increase in the Company's NOLs for the periods. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted for future factors that would impact the assessment of the objective and subjective evidence of the Company. The Company will continue to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets at each balance sheet date in order to determine the proper amount, if any, required for a valuation allowance.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had the following in relation to net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Amount** | **Expiration (years)**  |
| Net operating losses, federal (post-December 31, 2017) | 892963 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Indefinite  |

Under the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 ("IRC 382"), the utilization of a corporation's net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be limited following a greater than 50% change in ownership over a three-year period. Any unused annual limitation may be carried forward to future years for the balance of the NOL and tax credit carryforward period. Under these rules prior ownership changes may have created a limitation in the Company's ability to use certain tax carryforwards on a yearly basis. Additionally, certain state operating losses may also be limited. The NOL carryforwards reflected in the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 have not been adjusted to reflect any limitations from changes in ownership. The Company has not performed any ownership change analysis under IRC 382 and there is a risk that changes in ownership may have occurred. If a change in ownership were to have occurred, NOL and tax credit carryforwards could be eliminated or restricted. If eliminated, the related asset would be removed from the deferred tax asset schedule with a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance.

Activity related to unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows (in thousands):

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state jurisdictions, and foreign jurisdictions and is not under examination by any of the taxing authorities in these jurisdictions. Due to the Company's history of net operating losses since inception, substantially all of the tax years remain open to examination. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense and include accrued interest and penalties with the related income tax liability in its consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company had no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

#### Exclusive License Agreement with Exact Sciences Corporation ("Exact Sciences")
In August 2025, the Company signed an exclusive collaboration and license agreement with Exact Sciences (the "Exact Sciences License Agreement") to commercialize the Company's blood-based screening test for colorectal cancer ("CRC") in the United States (U.S.). The agreement was deemed effective for accounting purposes upon receipt of approval from the relevant governmental authority on November 7, 2025 (the "Antitrust Clearance Date").

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Freenome Holdings, Inc.

#### Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Pursuant to the Exact Sciences License Agreement, the Company granted Exact Sciences (a) a non-exclusive, fully paid, royalty-free, sublicensable (subject to certain restrictions) license under certain of the Company's intellectual property rights to develop in accordance with the development plan certain in vitro, blood-based products or services for diagnosis, screening or evaluation of CRC or colorectal pre-cancer (excluding certain multi-cancer tests) (each a "Collaboration Product") for all uses and purposes, excluding the diagnosis, screening or evaluation of measurable residual disease (the "Field"), (b) a co-exclusive, royalty-bearing, sublicensable (subject to certain restrictions) license under certain of the Company's intellectual property rights to commercialize Collaboration Products that are laboratory developed tests until the later of (i) the date of approval by the FDA of a premarket approval application for a class III medical device for CRC or colorectal pre-cancer that meets certain requirements for the first Collaboration Product and (ii) antitrust clearance, which occurred on November 7, 2025 and (c) upon approval by the FDA of a Collaboration Product, an exclusive, royalty-bearing, sublicensable (subject to certain restrictions) license under certain of the Company's intellectual property rights to commercialize Collaboration Products in the Field in the U.S. In addition, the Company granted Exact Sciences a non-exclusive, worldwide license to manufacture Collaboration Products for purposes of developing and commercializing Collaboration Products as expressly permitted above. Collaboration Products exclude certain future CRC products for which Exact Sciences is granted a certain right of first negotiation in the U.S.

Pursuant to the Exact Sciences License Agreement, the Company received a one-time, non-refundable, non-creditable, upfront payment of $75.0 million from Exact Sciences on November 3, 2025 as partial consideration for the rights and license granted. The Company is also eligible to receive up to $700.0 million in certain development and regulatory milestones; annual development payments of up to $20.0 million per year over three years for funding of R&D development expenses leveraging the technology for those three years; and tiered royalties ranging from low to high double-digit percentages on U.S. sales of any commercial products that may result from the collaboration, subject to customary deductions under certain circumstances.

The Exact Sciences License Agreement is subject to termination by either party for the other party's uncured material breach or its insolvency. Subject to certain limitations, the Company and Exact Sciences both have certain termination for convenience rights, exercisable upon sufficient prior written notice. Specifically, the Company's right to terminate for convenience may be exercised if Exact Sciences ceases commercialization activities for all Collaboration Products; or if there is a patent challenge with respect to the Company's patent rights in the U.S.; or if Exact Sciences' licensees commercially launch, as a standalone product, the in vitro, blood-based product for the diagnosis, screening or evaluation of colorectal cancer in the U.S. that Exact Sciences is developing. Exact Sciences may terminate the agreement in its entirety, upon prior written notice to the Company, upon earlier of not meeting a certain development milestone event or by January 1, 2028.

Exact Sciences also has a right to terminate the collaborative activities under the Exact Sciences License Agreement at certain specified points during the collaboration term. Other customary termination rights are further provided in the Exact Sciences License Agreement.

The Company concluded at the commencement of the arrangement that Exact Sciences was a customer and the Exact Sciences License Agreement should be accounted for under ASC 606. Performance obligations identified under the Exact Sciences License Agreement includes the delivery of intellectual property and licenses related to development, co-exclusive commercialization, manufacturing, and data; research and development services; the delivery of the exclusive commercialization license; technology transfers; and a material right granted to the customer for certain laboratory tests that will be billed at cost by the Company.

The promises related to the development license, co-exclusive commercialization license, manufacturing license, and data license were considered functional intellectual property and determined to be distinct from the remaining promises in the Exact Sciences License Agreement. These licenses were delivered at the same time, therefore, they are considered one performance obligation at contract inception.

The Company determined the transaction price under ASC 606 at the inception of the Exact Sciences License Agreement to be $143.4 million, consisting of the $75.0 million up front payment, $60.0 million reimbursement for development costs, and $8.4 million allocated to the Exact Sciences License Agreement from the proceeds received in the Exact Sciences Convertible Note (see Note 18). The reimbursement for development costs includes $20.0 million of variable consideration per year, that is expected to be paid by Exact over a three year period from the effective date

of the contract. The Exact Sciences License Agreement includes $700.0 million milestone payments, of which $100.0 million is payable upon FDA approval of the Company's initial version of a Collaboration Product, $100.0 million is payable upon first-line FDA approval for the next-generation test contingent on meeting pre-defined performance benchmarks, and $500.0 million is payable upon a Collaboration Product being rated as a first-line A or B test in the USPSTF guidelines or meeting certain payer contracted coverage requirements. If the pre-defined performance benchmarks are not achieved, or if the Collaboration Product is rated as a second-line A or B test in the USPSTF guidelines, then each respective milestone payment may be reduced as provided in the Agreement. The Company determined that these development and regulatory events are not within the Company's control or the licensee's control and are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. Accordingly, the Company has fully constrained the milestone payments. The Exact Sciences License Agreement also includes sales-based milestone payments and other royalty-based payments, determined on a level of sales for which the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate. The Company will recognize revenue for these payments at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied or partially satisfied.

The Company allocated the transaction price at inception to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price ("SSP") basis. The SSP of the exclusive commercialization license was determined using an income approach, considering the discounted cash flows related to the license. SSPs for each of the data license, development license, and manufacturing license were determined using a replacement cost approach.The SSPs of the technology transfers and research & development services were determined utilizing the cost-plus margin approach, considering the cost for services and an assumed margin that a market participant would pay to obtain the services. The SSP of the material right related to the laboratory tests was also determined utilizing the cost-plus margin approach, based on the expected reimbursed cost of the laboratory tests and an assumed margin that a market participant would charge to perform the laboratory tests.

The Company recognizes the revenue for the intellectual property, exclusive commercialization license and, the technology transfers at a point in time when the performance obligations are satisfied. Revenue related to the research and development services is recognized over time using a cost input method as services are performed while the revenue associated with the material right will be recognized over time using an output method as the laboratory tests are performed, which the Company believes best depicts the transfer of control to the customer.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $27.1 million related to the intellectual property and licenses related to development, co-exclusive commercialization, manufacturing, and data that were satisfied on the anti-trust clearance date. Deferred revenue of $56.3 million was recorded as of December 31, 2025, of which $7.1 million and $49.1 million has been recorded to deferred revenue – current and deferred revenue, net of current portion, respectively, reflecting the expected timing of when the related performance obligations will be satisfied. As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations was $116.3 million, which consists of deferred revenue of $56.3 million and variable consideration for the reimbursement of developmental services of $60.0 million, and is expected to be recognized upon transfer of control of the underlying promised goods or services to Exact Sciences as follows: $92.8 million is expected recognized upon transfer of the exclusive commercialization license, $0.8 million is expected to be recognized upon satisfaction of the technology transfers, $19.1 million is expected to be recognized as the research and development services are performed and $3.6 million is expected to be recognized for the material right as the laboratory tests are performed.

#### Service and Other Revenue
The Company derives revenue from the sale and distribution of tests and services through its U.K.-based subsidiary, Freenome Ltd. Revenue is recognized at a point in time as the Company satisfies performance obligations by transferring the goods and services to its customers. Revenue from the sale and distribution of EarlyCDT Lung test kits in the UK and globally through its U.K.-based subsidiary was $1.4 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Revenue related to royalties on the EarlyCDT Lung tests performed through its U.K.-based subsidiary was $1.1 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Revenue from the sale of EarlyCDT Lung test plates was $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

In addition, the Company currently derives revenue from the performance of diagnostic and research services using its proprietary multiomics platform under a Research Service Agreement with a related party (see Note 20). The transaction price is fixed to a price in the contract with the customer for the tests and services performed, and the current contract includes a single performance obligation. The Company utilizes an input method using a cost-based model based on estimates of effort completed and recognizes revenue proportionally over time as services are performed. The Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.8 million of service revenue under this agreement for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

#### Note 17—Exclusive License and Option Agreement with Roche
In November 2025, the Company entered into an exclusive license and option agreement with Roche Sequencing Solutions, Inc. ("Roche Sequencing"), and a promissory note agreement with Roche Holdings ("Roche Promissory Note Agreement") related to a convertible promissory note (the "Roche Convertible Note") under which the Company received total proceeds of $75.0 million (see Note 18).

The exclusive license and option agreement with Roche Sequencing (the "Roche License and Option Agreement") grants Roche Sequencing two rights: (a) an exclusive option (the "Option") to obtain an exclusive, royalty-bearing, sublicensable (subject to certain restrictions) license to certain of the Company's intellectual property rights for the manufacture and sale of kitted assays for cancer screening, including for colorectal cancer and lung cancer (the "Licensed Products"), outside the U.S.; and (b) in the event that the Company seeks to enter into a partnering transaction to offer centralized testing services for cancer screening outside the U.S., a preferred partner right to negotiate with the Company a definitive agreement for such partnering transaction. In addition, the Company agreed to conduct an evaluation of the Company's cancer detection assays using Roche Sequencing's sequencer (the "SBX Platform") for no more than two years (the "Evaluation Period"), beginning when the SBX Platform is delivered to the Company by Roche Sequencing.

Under the Roche License and Option Agreement, Roche Sequencing is obligated to pay the Company a $10.0 million option exercise fee within thirty (30) days of its written notice to exercise the option.

If Roche Sequencing exercises the Option, the Company may receive up to $100.0 million in milestone payments as well as royalties on non-U.S. test sales that range from low single-digits to mid-teens, depending on sales of the Licensed Products. The Company may also receive up to $24.0 million in SBX research and development related milestones payments.

The Option can be exercised anytime from November 14, 2025 (date of the Roche License and Option agreement) through and until one year after the earlier of (i) Licensed Products for at least five separate indications, including CRC and lung cancer as two of such five separate indications, have been approved or cleared by the FDA, or (ii) (x) Licensed Products for CRC and lung cancer have been approved or cleared by the FDA, and (y) the Company has launched Licensed Products as laboratory developed tests under applicable regulatory requirements in the U.S., or Licensed Products have been approved or cleared by the FDA, for three additional separate indications other than CRC and lung cancer. The agreement terminates upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the royalty term for all Licensed Products in the Territory if the Customer exercises the Option, or (ii) if Roche does not exercise the Option, three years after the Company has made all commercial assays of the Company available on the SBX Platform or the termination of the SBX Evaluation Plan and Implementation Plan. The Roche License and Option Agreement is subject to termination by either party for the other party's uncured material breach. Additionally, both the Company and Roche Sequencing have certain specific termination rights, upon sufficient prior written notice. The Company may terminate if, following the exercise of the Option, Roche Sequencing engages in any patent challenge with respect to any licensed patent. The Company also has termination rights if, following receipt of regulatory approval for a licensed product, Roche Sequencing (i) does not initiate commercialization activities for at least one licensed product during the twelve (12) month period following the date of such regulatory approval, or (ii) ceases all commercialization activities for all licensed products for a continuous period of twelve (12) months. Conversely, Roche Sequencing may terminate the agreement if there is a Change of Control at the Company.

The Company determined that the Roche License and Option Agreement and the Roche Promissory Note Agreement should be assessed as a single combined transaction as the agreements were negotiated and entered into together, with a single commercial objective. The Company allocated the difference between the total upfront proceeds of $75.0 million and the initial fair value of the Roche Convertible Note (see Note 18) to the Roche License and Option

Agreement. The Company recorded the $15.0 million proceed allocated to the Roche License and Option Agreement as other long-term liabilities as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, Roche Sequencing has not exercised the Option and has not provided the SBX Platform to the Company.

#### Note 18—Debt

#### Exact Note Purchase Agreement with Exact Sciences
In August 2025, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note Purchase Agreement with Exact Sciences ("Exact Sciences Note Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company issued a senior unsecured convertible note ("Exact Convertible Note") with an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million to Exact Sciences, which remains fully outstanding as of December 31, 2025.

The Exact Convertible Note bears interest at 5% per annum and matures on the five-year anniversary date of August 12, 2030. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on the last business day of each calendar quarter, beginning on September 30, 2025.

The Exact Convertible Note will automatically convert into shares of the Company's common stock upon the occurrence of a public listing, provided that, the volume-weighted average sales price over a period of 10 consecutive trading days exceeds 1.5 times the original offer price per share following the listing.

The Exact Convertible Note is convertible at any time prior to the maturity date, at the holder's option, into shares of the Company's most senior series of preferred stock (if converted prior to a public filing) or into shares of the Company's common stock (if converted following a public filing). The conversion is calculated by dividing the total principal and accrued and unpaid interest by the applicable conversion price. The conversion price is (i) the original issue price of the Company's most senior series of preferred stock if prior to a public offering, or (ii) a price per share equal to 1.5 times the original public listing price following a public offering.

In the event of a default, Exact Science may accelerate the maturity date of the Exact Convertible Note and require full payment in cash of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Events of default include, among other things: failure to timely pay amounts due, the Company executing a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, the Company filing a petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy statute, or an involuntary petition being filed against the Company under any bankruptcy statute.

The Exact Sciences Note Purchase Agreement was entered into in connection with the Exact Sciences License Agreement (see Note 16). These agreements were evaluated as a single contract for revenue recognition purposes under ASC 606 because they were negotiated as a package with a single commercial objective, and the consideration in one agreement is dependent on the price of the other agreement. Accordingly, the principal amount received by the Company in excess of the initial fair value of the Exact Convertible Note was included in the total transaction price of the Exact Sciences License Agreement and initially recorded as deferred revenue as of issuance date. Refer to Note 16 for further discussion of the revenue recognized related to the Exact Sciences License Agreement during the period ended December 31, 2025.

The Company elected the fair value option to account for the Exact Convertible Note. Issuance costs incurred were not deferred and recognized as an expense. The issuance costs related to the Exact Convertible Note were included in interest expense, in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company measured the Exact Convertible Note, including accrued interest, at fair value upon issuance, resulting in a recorded fair value of $41.6 million as of the issuance date. The difference between the fair value of the Convertible Note and the proceeds received of $50.0 million was included in the transaction price of the Exact Sciences License Agreement and recorded as deferred revenue as of issuance date, see Note 16. Any subsequent changes in the fair value of the Convertible Note are included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. There was no material change in the fair value of the Exact Convertible Note as of December 31, 2025.

#### Promissory Note Agreement with Roche Holdings, a related party
In November 2025, the Company executed the Roche Promissory Note Agreement with Roche Holdings, a related party, for a $75.0 million convertible promissory note, bearing an annual interest rate of 5%. The note is effective November 17, 2025 and matures May 17, 2027.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Freenome Holdings, Inc.

#### Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
The Roche Convertible Note will automatically convert upon the earliest of: (i) the closing of the issuance and sale of capital stock of the Company in the Company's underwritten initial public offering; (ii) any other transaction (such as a SPAC Transaction) that is not a Corporate Transaction (as defined in the Roche Promissory Note Agreement) but results in a class of the Company's shares or any successor entity's shares being registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (iii) the next equity financing for shares of preferred stock.

The Roche Convertible Note is convertible at any time prior to the maturity date, at Roche's option, into shares of the Company's most senior series of preferred stock (if converted prior to a public filing) or into shares of the Company's common stock (if converted following a public filing). The conversion is calculated by dividing the total principal and accrued and unpaid interest by the applicable conversion price, which is: (a) prior to a public listing of the Company, (x) the original issue price per share of the Company's most senior series of preferred stock if prior to a public offering, or (y) the price paid per share for preferred stock by investors in a next equity financing times 80%; or (b) following a public listing of the Company, a price per share equal to 1.2 times the original public listing price.

In the event of a default, Roche may accelerate the maturity date of the Roche Convertible Note and require full payment in cash of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Events of default include, among other things: failure to timely pay amounts due, the Company executing a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, the Company filing a petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy statute, or an involuntary petition being filed against the Company under any bankruptcy statute.

The Roche Convertible Note and the Roche License and Option Agreement (collectively, the "Roche Agreements") were evaluated as a single contract as they were negotiated as a package with a single commercial objective, and the consideration in one agreement is dependent on the price of the other. The Company received total proceeds of $75.0 million upon execution of the Roche Agreements. The Company allocated the $75.0 million upfront proceeds received under the Roche Agreements to the Roche Convertible Note based on its fair value on issuance date of $60.0 million and to the Roche License and Option Agreement based on the excess of the total proceeds received over the issuance date fair value of the Convertible Note of $15.0 million.

The Roche Convertible Note represents a liability under ASC 480, *Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity* ("ASC 480"), and was initially recorded based on the initial amounts allocated less applicable issuance costs. The Roche Convertible Note will subsequently be accounted for using the interest method over the contractual life of the instrument in accordance with ASC 835-30. The Company recorded $1.5 million of interest expense related to the Roche Convertible Note for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Roche Convertible Note was $60.9 million.

The following table summarizes the Company's principal obligations for convertible notes as of December 31, 2025 (in millions):

#### Note 22— Defined Contribution Plan
The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), that allows eligible participating employees to contribute eligible compensation, subject to maximum deferral limits specified by the Code. Since inception, the Company has not made matching contributions or discretionary contributions to the defined contribution plan.

#### Note 23— Segment and Geographic Information
The Company operates as one operating and reportable segment focused on the development of an early cancer detection platform. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2). The Company's chief operating decision maker (the "CODM") is its Chief Executive Officer, who uses consolidated net loss (that is also reported on the consolidated statements of operations) as the key measure of segment profit and loss that the CODM uses to allocate resources and assess performance. The CODM does not evaluate operating segment performance using asset information.

The CODM uses consolidated net loss to evaluate the Company's expenditures from the segment and monitor budget-to-actual results. The CODM also considers budget-to-actual variances and available cash when making decisions about the allocation of resources across the organization. Significant segment expenses within consolidated net loss are cost of services, research and development, general and administrative, and other segment items are interest and investment income, net, interest expense and other income (expense), net, which are separately presented on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

The following table presents a summary of the Company's segment information:

---

|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Year Ended December 31,**  | **Year Ended December 31,**  |
|  | **2025** | **2024**  |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total Revenue  | &nbsp;&nbsp;$30409 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$2882 |

During the year ended December 31, 2025, $27.5 million of the Company's consolidated revenue is attributable to one customer. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, all of the Company's long-lived assets and right-of-use assets are located in the United States.

#### Note 24—Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 30, 2026, the date these audited consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there has been the following event that has occurred that would require disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

#### Option repricing
On October 24, 2025, the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee approved an option repricing (the "Repricing") of outstanding stock options held by certain current employees, including the Company's named executive officers (the "Eligible Participants"), which were granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the "Plan"). The Board approved the Repricing, effective October 2025 (the "Effective Date"), upon the Compensation Committee's recommendation, in order to retain and motivate the Company's key contributors.

On the Effective Date, the exercise price of outstanding stock options (the "Repriced Options") granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan and held by the Eligible Participants, specifically those with an exercise price per share greater than $2.39, was repriced to $2.39 per share (the "New Exercise Price"). The closing of the BCA with PCSC does not qualify as a Corporate Transaction and would not end the required Retention Period (as defined below).

To exercise the Repriced Options at the New Exercise Price, Eligible Participants must remain in service with the Company throughout the Retention Period (as defined herein). The Retention Period begins on the Effective Date and ends on the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date, or (ii) a Corporate Transaction (as defined in the

#### Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
2016 Plan). If the Retention Period is not satisfied, the Eligible Participant will be required to pay the original exercise price of the corresponding option upon exercise. This requirement is waived if the Eligible Participant's service is terminated due to death or disability (as defined in the 2026 Plan). Additionally, if a Corporate Transaction occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Repricing Date, the exercise price of the Option(s) will be equal to $2.39 per share.

The repricing was communicated to employees during 2026. The estimated incremental stock compensation cost of approximately $1.9 million, calculated using a lattice model will be recognized over the retention period.

**Section 8.17 Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed** 

------

that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

**Section 8.18 Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of PCSC, filed with the SEC (File No. 333-279598) on June 12, 2024 (the "*Prospectus*").

For and in consideration of PCSC entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Representatives that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company nor any of its Representatives does now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between PCSC or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and, the Company or any of its Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the "*Trust Account Released Claims*"). The Company (on its own behalf and on behalf of its Representatives) hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that it or any of its Representatives may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, or Contracts with PCSC or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement with PCSC or its Affiliates).**

The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for the purposes of the attorney-client privilege, the Sponsor shall be deemed the client of Cooley with respect to the negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents. All such communications shall remain privileged after the Closing and the privilege and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to the Sponsor, shall be controlled by the Sponsor and shall not pass to or be claimed by PCSC or the Surviving Company; *provided, further,* that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by PCSC or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and its Affiliates) of any applicable privileges or protections that can or may be asserted to prevent disclosure of any such communications to any third party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Parties agree that, notwithstanding the fact that Goodwin Procter LLP ("Goodwin") may have, prior to Closing, represented the Company in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and has also represented the Company and/or its Affiliates in

The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for the purposes of the attorney-client privilege, the Company shall be deemed the client of Goodwin with respect to the negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents. All such communications shall remain privileged after the Closing and the privilege and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to the Company, shall be controlled by the Company and shall not pass to or be claimed by PCSC or the Surviving Company; provided, further, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by PCSC or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and its Affiliates) of any applicable privileges or protections that can or may be asserted to prevent disclosure of any such communications to any third party.

#### Annex C

#### FORM OF SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
This **Subscription Agreement** (this "***Subscription Agreement***") is entered into on December 5, 2025 by and between **Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp**, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the "***Company***"), and the subscriber party set forth on the signature page hereto (the "***Subscriber***"), acting severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber (as defined below).

#### Recitals
**Whereas, substantially concurrently with the execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Company is entering into a business combination agreement (the "*Business Combination Agreement*"), in substantially the form provided to Subscriber prior to the date hereof, with Freenome Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("*Freenome*"), Starnet Merger Sub I, Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("*Merger Sub I*") and Starnet Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("*Merger Sub II*"), pursuant to which (and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein), on the Closing Date, Merger Sub I will merge with and into Freenome (the "*First Merger*"), with Freenome as the surviving company in the First Merger and, after giving effect to the First Merger, continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein;** 

Immediately following the First Merger, Freenome as the surviving company in the First Merger shall merge with and into the Merger Sub II (the "***Second Merger***"), with Merger Sub II as the surviving company in the Second Merger and, after giving effect to the Second Merger, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

At least one day prior to the Closing Date (and as more fully described in the Business Combination Agreement), the Company will domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and Part XII of the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2020 Revision) (the "***Domestication***", and together with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the "***Transactions***"), and in connection therewith the Company shall change its name to a name reasonably determined by Freenome;

**Whereas, in connection with the Transactions, Subscriber desires to subscribe for and purchase from the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Subscription Agreement, following the Domestication and immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with the Closing, that number of shares (the "*Subscribed Shares*") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "*Common Stock*"), obtained by dividing the Subscriber's aggregate purchase price (as set forth on Subscriber's signature page hereto next to the heading "*Purchase Price*") by $10.00 (the "*Per Share Price*"), and the Company desires to issue and sell to Subscriber the Subscribed Shares in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price by or on behalf of Subscriber to the Company;** 

**Whereas, the Company and Subscriber are executing and delivering this Subscription Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "*Securities Act*"); and** 

**Whereas, concurrently with the execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Company is entering into subscription agreements (the "*Other Subscription Agreements*") substantially similar to this Subscription Agreement with certain other investors (the "*Other Subscribers*") pursuant to which each such Other Subscriber has agreed to purchase shares of Common Stock at the Closing (as defined below) at the same Per Share Price as the Subscriber.** 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

#### Agreement
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Subscription; No Fractional Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing (as defined below), Subscriber, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber, hereby agrees to subscribe for and purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, the Subscribed Shares (such subscription and issuance, the "*Subscription*"). Subscriber and the Company

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
acknowledge that, as a result of the Domestication, the Subscribed Shares will be shares of common stock of the Company as a Delaware corporation and will not be ordinary shares of the Company as a Cayman Islands exempted company. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The consummation of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the "*Closing*") shall occur on the closing date of the Transactions (the "*Closing Date*"), following the Domestication and immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Transactions and it is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) At least five (5) Business Days (as defined below) before the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered written notice to Subscriber (the "*Closing Notice*") specifying (i) the anticipated Closing Date, (ii) the wire instructions for delivery of the Purchase Price to an escrow account (the "*Escrow Account*") established by the Company with a third party escrow agent (the "*Escrow Agent*") to be identified in the Closing Notice, and (iii) the expected number of Subscribed Shares. No later than two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date as set forth in the Closing Notice, Subscriber shall deliver the Purchase Price for the Subscribed Shares by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the Escrow Account and deliver to the Company such information as is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for the Company to issue the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber, including, without limitation, the legal name of the person in whose name the Subscribed Shares are to be issued and a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8 (and any required attachments thereto). Upon the Closing, the Company shall provide instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the funds in the Escrow Account to the Company. The Company shall deliver to Subscriber (i) at the Closing, the Subscribed Shares in book entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or applicable securities laws), in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions), and (ii) as promptly as practicable after the Closing, evidence from the Company's transfer agent of the issuance to Subscriber of the Subscribed Shares (in book entry form) on and as of the Closing Date. [Notwithstanding the foregoing three sentences, if Subscriber informs the Company (and it does so hereby inform the Company) (1) that it is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (2) that it is advised by an investment adviser subject to regulation under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or (3) that its internal compliance policies and procedures so require it, then, in lieu of the settlement procedures in the foregoing three sentences, the following shall apply: Subscriber shall deliver as soon as practicable following receipt of evidence from the Company's transfer agent of the issuance to Subscriber of the Subscribed Shares on and as of the Closing Date in the form and substance acceptable to Subscriber (and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company's transfer agent to deliver such evidence), the Purchase Price for the Subscribed Shares by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to an account to be specified by the Company (which account shall not be an escrow account) against delivery by the Company to Subscriber of the Subscribed Shares in book entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or applicable securities laws), in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) and evidence from the Company's transfer agent of the issuance to Subscriber of the Subscribed Shares on and as of the Closing Date; *provided* that settlement shall occur on a "delivery versus payment" basis.] As promptly as practicable after the Closing, but no later than five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Subscriber updated book-entry statements from the Company's transfer agent reflecting the change in name of the Company to occur in connection with the Closing. In the event that the consummation of the Transactions does not occur within two (2) Business Days after the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company and Subscriber, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice) instruct the Escrow Agent to return the Purchase Price to Subscriber by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber (or, in the case of a Subscriber that has elected the alternate settlement provisions above, the Company shall return the Purchase Price so delivered by Subscriber to the Company), and any book entries shall be deemed cancelled. Notwithstanding such return or cancellation (x) a failure to close on the anticipated Closing Date shall not, by itself, be deemed to be a failure of any of the conditions to Closing set forth herein, and (y) unless and until this Subscription Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 6 herein, Subscriber shall remain obligated (A) to redeliver funds to the Escrow Account or to the Company, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 2 following the Company's delivery to Subscriber of a new Closing Notice and (B) to consummate the Closing

------

immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Transactions. For the purposes of this Subscription Agreement, "***Business Day***" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks are required or authorized to close in the State of New York or the Cayman Islands.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction on the Closing Date, or written waiver by each of the parties hereto, of each of the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Common Stock (including the Subscribed Shares) shall have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("*Nasdaq*"), subject only to official notice of issuance and no suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock for offering or sale or trading on Nasdaq and, to the knowledge of the Company, no initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes or delisting, shall have occurred;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) (A) all representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Sections 3(a), (b) and (c) of this Subscription Agreement (collectively, the "*Fundamental Representations*") shall be true and correct in all respects (except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case each such Fundamental Representation shall be true and correct in all respects as of such earlier date) and (B) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transactions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, including all necessary approvals of the Company's and Freenome's shareholders and regulatory approvals, if any, shall have been satisfied (as determined by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement) or, subject to the terms of this Subscription Agreement, waived (other than those conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied only at the closing of the Transactions pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement), and the closing of the Transactions shall be scheduled to occur substantially concurrently with or immediately following the Closing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) no governmental authority of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making the consummation of the Transactions illegal or otherwise restraining, enjoining, or prohibiting consummation of the Transactions, and no such governmental authority shall have instituted or threatened in writing a proceeding seeking to impose any such restraint or prohibition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The obligation of the Company to consummate the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or written waiver by the Company of the additional conditions that, on the Closing Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) all representations and warranties of Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Subscriber Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date, except to the extent that any such representation and warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations or warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Subscriber Material Adverse Effect, which representations or warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date, in each case without giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Subscriber shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing, except where the failure of such performance, satisfaction or compliance would not or would not reasonably be likely to prevent, materially delay, or materially impact the ability of the Company to consummate the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The obligation of Subscriber to consummate the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or written waiver by Subscriber of the additional conditions that, on the Closing Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) except to the extent consented to in writing by Subscriber, the Business Combination Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof) shall not have been amended, modified, or supplemented, and no condition shall have been waived thereunder, in each case, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the economic benefits that Subscriber (in its capacity as such) would reasonably expect to receive under this Subscription Agreement;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) all representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date), in each case, without giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) no Other Subscription Agreement (or other agreements or understandings (including side letters) entered into in connection therewith or otherwise in connection with the sale of shares of Common Stock to any Other Subscriber pursuant to a Subscription Agreement) shall have been amended, modified or waived in any manner that benefits any Other Subscriber unless Subscriber shall have been offered by the Company in writing substantially the same benefits (other than terms particular to the legal or regulatory requirements of such Other Subscriber or its affiliates or related persons);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the Company shall have received at least $240.0 million of gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscribed Shares and the other shares of Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Subscriber to consummate the Closing cannot be limited by the Subscriber's default of its purchase of the Subscribed Shares hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) all consents, waivers, authorizations or orders of, any notice required to be made to, and any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization (including Nasdaq and any stockholder approval required by the rules and regulations of Nasdaq) or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Subscribed Shares) required to be made in connection with the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares shall have been obtained or made, except where the failure to so obtain or make would not prevent the Company from consummating the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares to the Subscriber;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) there has not occurred any Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect (each as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) since the date of this Subscription Agreement that is continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) an authorized officer of the Company shall have delivered to Subscriber at the Closing Date a certificate certifying that each of the conditions specified in Section 2(c) and this Section 2(e) have been fulfilled; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) the Secretary of the Company shall have delivered to Subscriber at the Closing Date, a certificate certifying (i) the Company's organizational documents (as adopted on or prior to the Closing Date) and (ii) resolutions of the Company's Board of Directors (or an authorized committee thereof) approving this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the issuance of the Subscribed Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Prior to or at the Closing, Subscriber shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company all such other information as is reasonably requested and necessary in order for the Company to issue the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Company Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to Subscriber that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company (i) is duly incorporated, validly existing as a company and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, (ii) has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties, to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, the Other Subscription Agreements, and the Business Combination Agreement (collectively, the "*Transaction Documents*"), and (iii) is duly licensed or qualified to conduct its

------

business and, if applicable, is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction (other than its jurisdiction of incorporation) in which the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties or assets requires such license or qualification, except, with respect to the foregoing clause (iii), where the failure to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, a "***Company Material Adverse Effect***" means an event, change, development, occurrence, condition or effect with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken together as a whole (on a consolidated basis), that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company, (ii) the legal authority or the ability of the Company to timely perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares, or (iii) the legal authority or the ability of the Company to timely perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and to consummate the Transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) As of the Closing Date, the Subscribed Shares will be duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to Subscriber against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or applicable federal and state securities laws) and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under the Company's organizational documents (as adopted on or prior to the Closing Date) or the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the same by the applicable counterparties, each Transaction Document shall constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, (ii) the organizational documents of the Company, or (iii) assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber in Section 4, any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the validity or enforceability of the Subscribed Shares or the ability or legal authority of the Company to comply in all material respects with this Subscription Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber in Section 4, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization (including Nasdaq) or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Subscribed Shares), other than (i) filings required by applicable federal and state securities laws, (ii) the filing of the Registration Statement (as defined below) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to Section 5 below, (iii) those required by Nasdaq, including with respect to obtaining shareholder approval, (iv) those required to consummate the Transactions as provided under the Business Combination Agreement, (v) the filing of notification under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, if applicable, in connection with the Transactions, and (vii) those of which the failure to obtain would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) The Company is in compliance with all applicable laws and has not received any written communication from a governmental entity that alleges that the Company is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law or regulation, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Subscriber acknowledges that the information contained in the Investor Presentation

------

is subject to change, and Subscriber is not relying upon any projections contained in the Investor Presentation in order to make any investment decision with respect to the Shares. Subscriber further acknowledges that certain financial information (whether historical, audited, unaudited or otherwise, or in the form of projections) was prepared without the participation of the Placement Agents and that the Placement Agents do not assume responsibility for independent verification of, or the accuracy or completeness of, such information or projections. Subscriber further acknowledges that no disclosure or offering document has been prepared or reviewed by the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates in connection with the offer and sale of the Subscribed Shares, and the Placement Agents and their respective affiliates and any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of the Placement Agents and their respective affiliates have made no independent investigation with respect to the Company, Merger Sub, Freenome, the Subscribed Shares, the Subscription or the Transactions or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to the Placement Agents by the Company, Merger Sub or Freenome.

None of the Placement Agents or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, agents, representatives or controlling persons has made any independent investigation with respect to the Company, Freenome, Merger Sub, the Subscribed Shares or the completeness or accuracy of any information provided to the Subscriber. Subscriber acknowledges that it has not relied on the Placement Agents in connection with its determination as to the legality of its acquisition of the Subscribed Shares or as to the other matters referred to herein.

Subscriber further acknowledges that Subscriber has not relied upon the Placement Agents in connection with Subscriber's due diligence review of the offering of the Subscribed Shares and of the Company, Freenome and Merger Sub. In making its decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares, Subscriber has relied solely upon independent investigation made by Subscriber.

Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber's professional advisor(s), if any, have had the opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Subscriber and Subscriber's professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Subscribed Shares. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to review the Company's SEC Reports. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agents and any of their respective affiliates (i) have not provided Subscriber with any information or advice with respect to the Subscribed Shares nor is such information or advice necessary or desired; (ii) have not made and will not make any representation, whether express or implied, of any kind or character and have not provided any advice or recommendation in connection with the Subscription, the Transactions, the Company, the Acquired Companies, the quality or value of the Subscribed Shares, any of the documents furnished pursuant therewith, or the execution, legality, validity or enforceability (with respect to any person) of any thereof, or the business, condition (financial and otherwise), management, operations, properties or prospects of, or any other matter concerning, the Company, Freenome, Merger Sub, the Subscription or the Transactions; (iii) may have acquired non-public information with respect to the Company or the Acquired Companies which Subscriber agrees need not be provided to it; and (iv) may have existing or future business relationships with the Company, Freenome and Merger Sub (including, but not limited to, lending, depository, risk management, advisory and banking relationships) and will pursue actions and take steps that it deems or they deem necessary or appropriate to protect its or their interests arising therefrom. The Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that the Company's affiliates and/or Placement Agents and/or their respective affiliates may now or in the future own securities of the Company and may purchase securities in connection with the Transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Subscriber acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Subscribed Shares, including those set forth in the SEC Reports. Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Subscribed Shares, and Subscriber has had an opportunity to seek, and has sought, such accounting, legal, business and tax advice as Subscriber has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), Subscriber has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Subscribed Shares and determined that the Subscribed Shares are a suitable investment for Subscriber and that Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber's investment in the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) Subscriber understands and agrees that no federal or state agency, securities commission or similar regulatory authority has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Subscribed Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.

Subscriber also represents that, to the extent required by applicable law, it maintains, either directly or through the use of a third-party administrator, policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of any investors against Prohibited Parties. Subscriber further represents and warrants that, to the extent required by applicable law, the Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by Subscriber and used to purchase the Subscribed Shares were legally derived. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, "***Sanctioned Person***" means at any time any person or entity that is: (i) the subject or target of Sanctions, (ii) a Prohibited Party; or (iii) located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject or target of comprehensive Sanctions, including, as of the date of this Subscription Agreement, Crimea, the so-called Donetsk People's Republic or Luhansk People's Republic regions of Ukraine, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) Subscriber, together with any of its affiliates holding the Subscribed Shares or other securities of the Company, are not currently (and at all times through Closing will refrain from being or becoming) members of a "group" (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision) acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Company, other than a "group" consisting of Subscriber and any such affiliates and persons controlling Subscriber and any such affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) During the period commencing as of the time that Subscriber was first contacted by the Company, a Placement Agent or any other person regarding the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and ending immediately prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber has not entered into any short sales (as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act) with respect to the securities of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) if Subscriber is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of Subscriber's assets, the representation set forth in the first sentence of this subsection shall only apply with respect to the portion of the assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares and (ii) in the case that Subscriber's investment adviser utilized an information barrier with respect to the information regarding the transactions contemplated hereunder after first being contacted by the Company, a Placement Agent or any other person regarding the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, the representation set forth in the first sentence of this subsection shall only apply after the point in time when the portfolio manager who manages Subscriber's assets was informed of the information regarding the transactions contemplated hereunder and, with respect to Subscriber's investment adviser, the representation set forth in the first sentence of this subsection shall only apply with respect to any purchases or sales of the securities of the Company on behalf of other funds or investment vehicles for which Subscriber's investment adviser is also an investment adviser or sub-adviser after the point in time when the portfolio manager who manages the assets of such other funds or investment vehicles for which Subscriber's investment adviser is also an investment adviser or sub-adviser was informed of the information regarding the transactions contemplated hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p) No foreign person (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.224) in which the national or subnational governments of a single foreign state have a substantial interest (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.244) will acquire a substantial interest in the Company as a result of the purchase and sale of Subscribed Shares by Subscriber hereunder such that a declaration to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States would be mandatory under 31 C.F.R. Part 800.401, and no foreign person will have control (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.208) over the Company from and after the Closing, in each case as a result of the purchase by Subscriber of Subscribed Shares hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q) If Subscriber is an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("*ERISA*"), a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "*Code*") or an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or

------

regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code, or an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include "plan assets" of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a "***Plan***") subject to the fiduciary or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code, Subscriber represents and warrants that (i) neither the Company, nor any of its respective affiliates (the "***Transaction Parties***") has been relied on as the Plan's fiduciary, or has been relied on by Subscriber for advice, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Subscribed Shares, and none of the Transaction Parties shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan's fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer the Subscribed Shares and (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Subscribed Shares will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(r) Subscriber at the Closing will have sufficient funds to pay the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(s) No broker or finder has acted on behalf of Subscriber in connection with the sale of the Subscribed Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement in such way as to create any liability on the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(t) Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the certificate or book entry position representing the Subscribed Shares will bear or reflect, as applicable, a legend substantially similar to the following:

"THIS SECURITY WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THIS SECURITY MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) PURSUANT TO ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, (II) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (III) TO THE COMPANY, IN EACH OF CASES (I) THROUGH (III) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE COMPANY MAY REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF A WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATIONS AND/OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION IT REASONABLY REQUIRES TO CONFIRM THE SECURITIES ACT EXEMPTION FOR SUCH TRANSACTION."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. Registration Rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company shall submit or file with the Commission (at the Company's sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Subscribed Shares and naming the Subscriber as a selling stockholder thereunder (the "*Registration Statement*") no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing (such deadline the "*Filing Deadline*"), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60<sup>th</sup> calendar day (or 90<sup>th</sup> calendar day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will "review" the Registration Statement) following the earlier of (A) the filing of the Registration Statement and (B) the Filing Deadline, and (ii) the 5<sup>th</sup> Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be "reviewed" or will not be subject to further review (such deadline the "*Effectiveness Deadline*"), *provided,* that if the Filing Deadline or Effectiveness Deadline falls on Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Filing Deadline or Effectiveness Deadline, as the case may be, shall be extended to the next business day on which the Commission is open for business*, provided, further, however*, that the Company's obligations to include Subscriber's Subscribed Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing such information required by Commission rules for a Registration Statement regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Subscribed Shares (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings) (collectively, the "*Subscriber Information*") as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Subscribed Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, provided that Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Subscribed Shares. Any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to cause the effectiveness of such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or cause the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 5. Upon notification by the Commission that any Registration Statement has been

------

declared effective by the Commission, and within two (2) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall file the final prospectus under Rule 424 of the Securities Act. The Registration Statement shall include a "plan of distribution" that permits all lawful means of disposition of the Subscribed Shares by Subscriber, including block sales, agented transactions, sales directly into the market and other customary provisions (but, excluding for the avoidance of doubt, underwritten public offerings, with respect to the Subscribed Shares).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company will provide a copy of such portions of the draft of the Registration Statement that include Subscriber Information to Subscriber for review and comment at least three (3) Business Days in advance of filing the Registration Statement, *provided, that*, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be required to delay or postpone the filing of such Registration Statement as a result of or in connection with Subscriber's review. With respect to the Subscriber Information, the Company shall request such information at least five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated initial filing date of the Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In no event shall the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission; *provided, that* if the Commission requests that the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement, it being understood that such withdrawal shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to register for resale the Subscribed Shares at a later date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Company agrees that, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to, at its expense, cause such Registration Statement to remain effective with respect to Subscriber, keep any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Company determines to obtain continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Subscribed Shares shall have been sold or (ii) the first date on which the undersigned can sell all of its Subscribed Shares (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 without limitation as to the manner of sale, the amount of such securities that may be sold and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144; *provided*, that the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event, the Company's board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material non-public information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company's board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (such circumstance, a "*Suspension Event*"); *provided, however,* that the Company may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two (2) occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or for more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Company and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality) (A) of the occurrence of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or (B) that, as a result of a Suspension Event, the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that it will promptly discontinue offers and sales of the Subscribed Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144 or any other applicable exemption to the registration requirements under the Securities Act) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Company and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality). If so directed by the Company, Subscriber will deliver to the Company or, in Subscriber's sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares in Subscriber's possession; *provided, however*, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Subscriber is required to

------

retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of the Subscriber in connection with any sale of Subscribed Shares with respect to which the Subscriber has entered into a contract for sale, prior to the Subscriber's receipt of the notice of a Suspension Event and for which the Subscriber has not yet settled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Subscribed Shares by Subscriber, or any other shares of Common Stock by any Other Subscribers or shares of Common Stock by any other selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement, the Company will promptly notify Subscriber of such event, and the Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the Commission determines that (1) the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a bona fide secondary offering and not an offering "by or on behalf of the issuer" within the meaning of Rule 415, and (2) Subscriber is not a statutory underwriter. If the Company is unsuccessful in the efforts described in the preceding sentence, then the Company will cause such Registration Statement to register for resale such number of Subscribed Shares of Common Stock which is equal to the maximum number of Subscribed Shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of shares of Common Stock to be registered for Subscriber, such Other Subscriber or other selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata first among all such selling stockholders who have signed this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements, then pro rata among all such other selling stockholders (or as otherwise directed by the Commission) and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Subscribed Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Registration Statement or file with the Commission and cause to be declared effective, as promptly as allowed by the Commission, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Subscribed Shares that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended and to cause such amendment or Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. Any such amended or new registration statement(s) shall be deemed to be a "*Registration Statement*" and all provisions of Section 5 shall apply with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) In the case of a registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. The Company shall advise Subscriber as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following or such earlier date as indicated:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information with respect to the Subscriber;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose within two (2) Business Days of the Company's notice of such event;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) within two (2) Business Days of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Subscribed Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, non-public information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in clauses (i) through (v) above may constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Subscribed Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Subscribed Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Common Stock has been listed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Subscribed Shares required hereby and to provide all customary and reasonable cooperation necessary to enable Subscriber to resell the Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) For purposes of this Section 5, "*Subscribed Shares*" shall be deemed to include, as of any date of determination, the Subscribed Shares and any equity security issued or issuable with respect to such Subscribed Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event, and "*Subscriber*" shall mean the Subscriber or any affiliate of the Subscriber or other person to whom the rights under this Section 5 shall have been assigned

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof (in each case, except for those provisions expressly contemplated to survive such termination), upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; (b) the mutual written agreement of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement; (c) if, on the Closing Date of the Transactions, any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 2 of this Subscription Agreement have not been satisfied as of the time required hereunder to be so satisfied or waived by the party entitled to grant such waiver and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be or are not consummated at the Closing; or (d) if the Closing has not occurred by the Termination Date (as so defined in the Business Combination Agreement as of the date hereof the "*Outside Closing Date*"); *provided*, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereto prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Company shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement and of any Other Subscription Agreement promptly after the termination thereof. Upon the termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with this Section 6, any monies paid by Subscriber to the Company in connection herewith shall be promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days after such termination) returned in full to Subscriber by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber, without any deduction for or on account of any tax withholding, charges, or set-off.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber hereby acknowledges that, as described in the Company's prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated June 11, 2024, the Company has established a trust account (the "*Trust Account*") containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the "*IPO*") and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company's public shareholders and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO). For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber hereby (a) agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in the Trust Account, and shall not make any claim against the Trust Account, arising as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Subscription Agreement, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the "*Released Claims*"), and (b) irrevocably waives any Released Claims that it may have against the Trust Account now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement; *provided, however,* that nothing in this Section 7 shall (x) be deemed to limit Subscriber's right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account, or any monies held therein, by virtue of such Subscriber's (i) record or beneficial ownership of Cayman Class A Shares or (ii) redemption

------

rights in connection with the Transactions with respect to any Cayman Class A Shares owned by such Subscriber or limit Subscriber's right to distributions from the Trust Account in accordance with the Company Constitutional Documents in respect of the Cayman Class A Shares, (y) serve to limit or prohibit Subscriber's right to pursue a claim against the Company for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief or (z) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that Subscriber may have in the future against the Company's assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such released funds).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. Registration Indemnity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) To the extent Subscriber is named as a selling stockholder under any Registration Statement, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Subscriber, its directors, trustees, officers, partners, members, managers, stockholders, affiliates, employees, advisers and agents, and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of Subscriber (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) from and against any and all losses, charges, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable and documented attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) that arise out of or are caused by, based upon, or relate to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in such Registration Statement, any prospectus included in such Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or document incorporated therein by reference, (ii) or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act, or any state securities laws or rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement, except insofar as, and only to the extent that such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission, or alleged omission is caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) To the extent permitted by law, and in connection with any Registration Statement in which Subscriber is participating as a selling stockholder, Subscriber agrees, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber in the offering contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of the Company against any losses, charges, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission, or alleged omission is caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein; *provided, however*, that the indemnification contained in this Section 8 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, charges, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses if such settlement is effected without the consent of Subscriber. In no event shall the liability of Subscriber payable by way of indemnity or contribution under this Section 8(b) or under Section 8(e) be greater than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such indemnification or contribution obligation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (*provided*, that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person's right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a

------

claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, trustee, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Subscribed Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. The indemnified parties are express third party beneficiaries of this Section 8, entitled to enforce their rights under this Section 8 as if party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If the indemnification provided under this Section 8 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, charges, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, charges, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by or on behalf of (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party's and indemnified party's relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 8 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Any contribution by Subscriber pursuant to this Section 8(e) (together with any indemnity under Section 8(b)) shall be no greater than the amount of net proceeds received by such Subscriber from the sale of such Subscribed Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to this obligation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any party be liable for consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages in connection with this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The indemnification rights and obligations pursuant to this Section 8 are in addition to, and not exclusive of, the indemnification rights and obligations set forth in Section 9 of this Subscription Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. Further Indemnity

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Subscriber and its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, trustees, members, managers, employees, investment advisers and agents (collectively, the "*Related Persons*" and together with the Subscriber, the "*Indemnified Persons*"), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable and documented attorney fees and disbursements of one firm of attorneys and the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding and the costs of enforcement thereof) to which such Indemnified Person may become subject as a result of or arising out of any action, claim or proceeding, against an Indemnified Person as a Subscriber or Related Person by any third party (including a shareholder of the Company), whether directly or in a derivative capacity, who is not an affiliate of the Indemnified Person, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company's aggregate liability to all Indemnified Persons under this Section shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the Subscriber's aggregate purchase price

------

paid for the Subscription Amount. This cap shall apply to all indemnification obligations, including reimbursement of all reasonable and documented expenses, whether incurred as they arise or otherwise. As a condition to indemnification, any claim for indemnification under this Section must be asserted by the Indemnified Person by delivering written notice to the Company no later than six months after the initiation of the action, claim or proceeding that gives rise to the indemnification obligation, which written notice shall be sufficient to cover any indemnifiable losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses that arise out of the relevant action, claim or proceeding even if such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses are incurred more than six months after the initiation thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification obligations contained in this Section 9 shall not apply to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from the actual fraud or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give written notice in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ one separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (C) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give written notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties, and only to the extent such fees and expenses are reasonable and documented. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement unless such judgment or settlement (i) imposes no liability or obligation on, (ii) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving of a complete, explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such indemnified claims of all liability of the indemnified party in respect of such claim or litigation in favor of, and (iii) does not include any admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing, or wrongdoing or malfeasance by or on behalf of, the indemnified party. No indemnified party will, except with the consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The indemnification rights and obligations pursuant to this Section 9 are in addition to, and not exclusive of, the indemnification rights and obligations set forth in Section 8 of this Subscription Agreement, subject in all cases to the aggregate cap described above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. Company's Covenants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) At any time and from time to time in connection with a bona fide sale of Subscribed Shares effected in compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or through any broker-dealer sale transactions described in the plan of distribution set forth within any prospectus and pursuant to the Registration Statement of which such prospectus forms a part, the Company shall, subject to the receipt of customary documentation required from the holder of the applicable Subscribed Shares and broker, if applicable, in connection therewith and compliance with applicable laws, (i) promptly instruct its transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends applicable to the Subscribed Shares being sold and (ii) cause its legal counsel to deliver the necessary legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i). The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent, its legal counsel (including for purposes of giving the opinion referenced herein) and all DTC fees associated with such issuance and legend removal and the Subscriber shall be responsible for its own fees or costs associated therewith (including its legal fees or costs of its legal counsel).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) With a view to making available to Subscriber the benefits of Rule 144 that permit Subscriber to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees, for so long as Subscriber holds Subscribed Shares, to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents as may be required pursuant to the applicable provisions of Rule 144.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) While the Registration Statement is effective, the Company shall cause its counsel, or counsel acceptable to the transfer agent, to issue to the transfer agent a "blanket" legal opinion to allow the legend on the Subscribed Shares to be removed upon a bona fide sale of such Subscribed Shares pursuant to the plan of distribution set forth within any prospectus and pursuant to such effective Registration Statement in accordance with this Section 10. Upon request, the Company shall provide the Subscriber with contact information for the person responsible for the Company's account at the transfer agent to facilitate transfers made pursuant to this Section 10. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and its legal counsel (including for purposes of giving the opinion referenced herein) associated with such issuance and the Subscriber shall be responsible for its own fees or costs associated therewith (including its legal fees or costs of its legal counsel).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. Miscellaneous.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) All notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing. Any notice, request, demand, claim, or other communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when delivered after posting in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) when delivered by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (iv) when delivered by email with no mail undeliverable or rejection notice, during normal business hours on a Business Day and otherwise as of the opening of the immediately following Business Day, in each case, addressed to the intended recipient at its address specified on the signature page hereof or to such electronic mail address or address as subsequently modified by written notice given in accordance with this Section 11(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Subscriber acknowledges that the Company, the Placement Agents and following the Closing Date, Freenome will rely on the truth and accuracy of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement; *provided, however,* that the foregoing clause of this Section 11(b) shall not give the Company, Freenome or the Placement Agents any rights other than those expressly set forth herein. Prior to the Closing, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Company and the Placement Agents if it becomes aware that any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Subscriber set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the purchase by Subscriber of Subscribed Shares from the Company will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by Subscriber as of the time of such purchase. The Company acknowledges that Subscriber and the Placement Agents will rely on the truth and accuracy of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Company agrees to promptly notify Subscriber and the Placement Agents if it becomes aware that any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Company set forth herein are no longer true and accurate in all material respects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each of the Company, Freenome, the Placement Agents and Subscriber is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby to the extent required by law or regulatory bodies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each of the Company and Subscriber shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Subscriber agrees that none of the Placement Agents shall be liable to it (including in contract, tort, under federal or state securities laws or otherwise) for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in good faith in connection with the Transactions and the purchase and sale of the Subscribed Shares hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Subscriber hereby agrees that it shall not, nor shall any person acting at Subscriber's direction or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber, directly or indirectly offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell, sell any option, engage in hedging activities or execute any "short sales" (as such term is defined in Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, 17 CFR 242.200) or engage in other hedging transactions of any kind (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements) directly with respect to the Subscribed Shares during the period from the date of this Subscription Agreement through the Closing or the earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) nothing in this Section 11(f) shall prohibit any entities under common management with Subscriber that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Subscriber's participation in the Subscription or that share an investment adviser with Subscriber from entering into any short sales or engaging in other hedging transactions; (ii) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber's assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of Subscriber's assets, this Section 11(f) shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement; (iii) nothing herein shall prohibit any sale (including the exercise of any redemption right) of securities of the Company (1) held by Subscriber, its affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its affiliates prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (2) purchased by Subscriber, its affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its affiliates after the execution of the Subscription Agreement; or (iv) nothing herein shall prohibit ordinary course hedging transactions so long as the sales or borrowings relating to such hedging transactions are not settled with the Subscribed Shares subscribed for hereunder and the number of securities sold in such transactions does not exceed the number of securities owned or subscribed for at the time of such transactions. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Subscribed Shares may be pledged by Subscriber in connection with a bona fide margin agreement, *provided* that such pledge shall be (i) pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (ii) pursuant to, and in accordance with, a registration statement that is effective under the Securities Act at the time of such pledge, and Subscriber effecting a pledge of the Subscribed Shares shall not be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof; *provided, however*, that neither the Company nor its counsel shall be required to take any action (or refrain from taking any action) in connection with any such pledge, other than providing any such lender of such margin agreement with an acknowledgment that the Subscribed Shares are not subject to any contractual lock up or prohibition on pledging, the form of such acknowledgment to be subject to review and comment by the Company in all respects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder (other than the Subscribed Shares acquired hereunder, if any, and the registration rights set forth in Section 5 in connection with the transfer of any Subscribed Shares) may be transferred or assigned, subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this paragraph. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Company hereunder may be transferred or assigned (*provided,* that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may transfer the Subscription Agreement and its rights hereunder solely in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and exclusively to another entity under the control of, or under common control with, the Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates (including other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager/adviser who acts on behalf of Subscriber) or, with the Company's prior written consent, to another person; *provided*, that such affiliate or other person executes a joinder to this Subscription Agreement, such joinder to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and no such assignment shall relieve Subscriber of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) All the representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing. All of the covenants and agreements made by each party hereunder shall survive the Closing

------

until the applicable statute of limitations or in accordance with their respective terms. For the avoidance of doubt, if for any reason the Closing does not occur prior to the consummation of the Transactions, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties hereunder shall survive the consummation of the Transactions and remain in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Company may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Company may reasonably deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Subscribed Shares and to register the Subscribed Shares for resale, and Subscriber shall promptly provide such information as may be reasonably requested to the extent reasonably available and to the extent consistent with Subscriber's internal policies and procedures, provided that the Company agrees to keep such information confidential. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company may file a copy of the form of this Subscription Agreement with the Commission as an exhibit to a periodic report of the Company or a registration statement of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, supplemented or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver is sought. Additionally, Section 3, Section 4, Section 11(l) and this Section 11(j) of this Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, supplemented or waived without the written consent of each Placement Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) This Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) This Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person. This Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Placement Agents shall be third-party beneficiaries to the representations, warranties, opinions, understandings and undertakings made by the Company, Freenome and their respective counsel and to the representations and warranties made by the Subscriber in this Subscription Agreement and (ii) as set forth in Section 5, Section 8, Section 11(b), Section 11(c), Section 11(j), and this Section 11(l) with respect to the persons specifically referenced therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Subscription Agreement is being entered into in order to induce the Company to execute and deliver the Business Combination Agreement and (ii) immediate and irreparable harm or damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches or restraining any violation or threatened violation of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement in the Designated Courts pursuant to Section 11(s), this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to seek to specifically enforce Subscriber's obligations to fund the Purchase Price and the provisions of the Subscription Agreement, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree: (x) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy; (y) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 11(m) is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable for any reason; and (z) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or

------

remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p) This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q) This Subscription Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Subscription Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Subscription Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other state.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(r) EACH PARTY AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OR RELATED TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY OTHER SUCH PARTY, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(s) The parties agree that all disputes, legal actions, suits and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement must be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (collectively the "*Designated Courts*"). Each party hereby consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Designated Courts. No legal action, suit or proceeding with respect to this Subscription Agreement may be brought in any other forum. Each party hereby irrevocably waives all claims of immunity from jurisdiction, and any objection which such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding in any Designated Court, including any right to object on the basis that any dispute, action, suit or proceeding brought in the Designated Courts has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum or venue. Each of the parties also agrees that delivery of any process, summons, notice or document to a party hereof in compliance with Section 11(a) of this Subscription Agreement shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in a Designated Court with respect to any matters to which the parties have submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(t) This Subscription Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Subscription Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Subscription Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(u) If any change in the Common Stock shall occur between the date hereof and immediately prior to the Closing by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, sub-division (including consolidation) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any share dividend, the number of Subscribed Shares issued to Subscriber and the Per Share Price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Shareholder shall not, and shall direct such Shareholder's Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (1) initiate, seek, solicit, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing any nonpublic information), whether publicly or otherwise, any inquiries with respect to, or the making. or submission of, a Company Acquisition Proposal, (2) enter into or engage in any negotiations or discussions with, or provide any nonpublic information to, or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of any Group Company, PCSC or Merger Subs to, any Person (other than PCSC or any of its Representatives) relating to or for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating any Company Acquisition Proposal (other than to state that the terms of this Agreement prohibit such discussions), (3) amend or grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity interests of any Group Company, PCSC or Merger Subs, (4) approve, endorse, recommend, execute or enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, term sheet, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other Contract relating to any Company Acquisition Proposal, or any proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal, or (5) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing or otherwise authorize or permit any of its Representatives to take any such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that (i) any Subject Company Shares are issued to any Shareholder after the date of this Agreement pursuant to any share dividend, share split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of Subject Company Shares of, on or affecting the Subject Company Shares owned by such Shareholder or otherwise, (ii) such Shareholder purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership of any Subject Company Shares after the date of this Agreement, or (iii) such Shareholder acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of any Subject Company Shares after the date of this Agreement (such Subject Company Shares or other equity securities of the Company, collectively the "New Securities"), then such New Securities acquired or purchased by such Shareholder shall constitute Subject Company Shares and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement (including with respect to the voting and proxy requirements set forth in <u>this Section 1</u>) to the same extent as if they constituted Subject Company Shares owned by such Shareholder as of the date of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Without limiting any other rights or remedies of PCSC, the Shareholder hereby irrevocably appoints PCSC or any individual designated by PCSC as the Shareholder's agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy (with full power of substitution and resubstituting), for the purposes of complying with obligations hereunder in accordance

------

with the laws of the State of Delaware and on such Shareholder's behalf, for and in the name, place and stead of the Shareholder, to attend on behalf of the Shareholder any meeting of the Company Shareholders with respect to the matters described in Section 1(a), to include the Subject Company Shares in any computation for purposes of establishing a quorum at any such meeting of the Company Shareholders, to vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Company Shares or consent (or withhold consent) with respect to any of the matters described in Section 1(a) in connection with any meeting of the Company Shareholders or any action by written consent by the Company Shareholders (including the Company Shareholder Written Consent), in each case, in the event that the Shareholder fails to provide its consent or vote its Subject Company Shares in accordance with Section 1(a) or perform or otherwise comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations set forth in Section 1(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The proxy granted by the Shareholder pursuant to Section 1(d) is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and is granted in consideration for PCSC entering into the Business Combination Agreement and agreeing to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. Each Shareholder authorizes such attorney-in-fact and proxy to substitute any other Person to act hereunder, to revoke any substitution and to file this proxy and any substitution or revocation with the Secretary of the Company. The proxy granted by the Shareholder pursuant to Section 1(d) is also a durable proxy and shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution, death, incapacity or other inability to act by the Shareholder and the Shareholder hereby revokes any and all prior proxies granted by the Shareholder with respect to the Subject Company Shares. The vote or consent of the proxyholder in accordance with Section 1(d) and with respect to the matters in Section 1(a) shall control in the event of any conflict between such vote or consent by the proxyholder of the Subject Company Shares and a vote or consent by the Shareholder of the Subject Company Shares (or any other Person with the power to vote the Subject Company Shares) with respect to the matters in Section 1(a). The proxyholder may not exercise the proxy granted pursuant to Section 1(d) on any matter except those provided in Section 1(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the Shareholder may vote the Subject Company Shares on all other matters, subject to, for the avoidance of doubt, the other applicable covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement. The Shareholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest and may under no circumstances be revoked and that such irrevocable proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the irrevocable proxy granted hereunder shall automatically terminate upon the termination of this Agreement. Each Shareholder agrees not to grant any proxy that conflicts or is inconsistent with the proxy granted to PCSC in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Other Covenants and Agreements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Shareholder hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any such agreement, (i) without the prior written consent of PCSC (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), such Shareholder shall not modify or amend any Contract between or among such Shareholder, anyone related by blood, marriage or adoption to such Shareholder or any Affiliate of such Shareholder (other than the Company or any other Group Company), in each case in his or her capacity as a shareholder of the Company, on the one hand, and the Company or any other Group Company, on the other hand, including, for the avoidance of doubt each of the agreements set forth on Schedule B, (ii) each of the agreements set forth on Schedule B hereto shall be automatically terminated and of no further force and effect (including any provisions of any such agreement that, by its terms, survive such termination) effective as of, and subject to and conditioned upon the occurrence of, the Closing and (ii) upon such termination neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates (including the other Group Companies and, from and after the Effective Time, PCSC and its Affiliates) shall have any further obligations or liabilities under each such agreement; *provided, however*, that the indemnification provisions that are contemplated to survive the agreement marked with an asterisk (\*) on Schedule B shall survive such termination in accordance with their terms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Shareholder hereby agrees to promptly execute and deliver all additional agreements, documents and instruments and take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or reasonably advisable in order to achieve the purpose of the preceding sentence.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Shareholder shall be bound by and subject to (i) Sections 5.3(a) (Confidentiality) and 5.4(a) (Public Announcements) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, as if the Shareholder is directly party thereto, and (ii) the Sections 5.6(a) (Exclusive Dealing) and 8.18 (Trust Account Waiver) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Company, as if the Shareholder is directly party thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that PCSC and the other PCSC Parties are entering into the Business Combination Agreement in reliance upon the Shareholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement and but for the Shareholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement PCSC and the other PCSC Parties would not have entered into or agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Shareholder Representations and Warranties. The Shareholder represents and warrants to PCSC as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Shareholder is a corporation, limited liability company or other applicable business entity duly organized or formed, as applicable, validly existing and in good standing (or the equivalent thereof, if applicable, in each case, with respect to the jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing or any equivalent thereof) under the Laws of its jurisdiction of formation or organization (as applicable).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Shareholder has the requisite corporate, limited liability company or other similar power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its covenants, agreements and obligations hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations hereunder that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement), and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate (or other similar) action on the part of the Shareholder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Shareholder and constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement of the Shareholder (assuming that this Agreement is duly authorized, executed and delivered by PCSC), enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights and subject to general principles of equity).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required on the part of the Shareholder with respect to the Shareholder's execution, delivery or performance of its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement) or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for any consents, approvals, authorizations, designations, declarations, waivers or filings, the absence of which would not adversely affect the ability of the Shareholder to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of its covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder in any material respect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) None of the execution or delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder, the performance by the Shareholder of any of its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement) or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will, directly or indirectly (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) (i) result in any breach of any provision of the Shareholder's Governing Documents, (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a default or give rise to any right of termination, Consent, cancellation, amendment, modification, suspension, revocation or acceleration under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract to which the Shareholder is a party, (iii) violate, or constitute a breach under, any Order or applicable Law to which the Shareholder or any of its properties or assets are bound or (iv) result in the creation of any Lien upon the Subject Company Shares, except, in the case of any of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, as would not adversely affect the ability of the Shareholder to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of its covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder in any material respect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner of the Subject Company Shares and has valid, good and marketable title to the Subject Company Shares, free and clear of all Liens (other than transfer restrictions under applicable Securities Law or under the Company Shareholders Agreement). Except for the Equity Securities of the Company set forth on Schedule A hereto, together with any other Equity Securities of the Company that the

------

Except as otherwise expressly contemplated by the agreements listed on Schedule B and any related acknowledgement agreement existing on the date hereof and made available to PCSC or any agreement that is entered into in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, the Shareholder does not have the right to acquire any Equity Securities of any Group Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Within thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date (the "<u>Filing Deadline</u>"), PCSC shall submit to or file with the Commission a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the "<u>Form S-1 Shelf</u>") or a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the "<u>Form S-3 Shelf</u>"), if PCSC is then eligible to use a Form S-3 Shelf, in each case, covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) Business Days prior to such submission or filing) on a delayed or continuous basis as permitted by Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the Commission notifies PCSC that it will "review" the Registration Statement) following the earlier of (A) the filing of the Registration Statement and (B) the Filing Deadline, and (ii) the 7<sup>th</sup> Business Day after the date PCSC is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be "reviewed" or will not be subject to further review by the Commission (such deadline the "<u>Effectiveness Deadline</u>"); <u>provided</u>*,* that if the Filing Deadline or Effectiveness Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Filing Deadline or Effectiveness Deadline, as the case may be, shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, <u>however</u>, that PCSC's obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Holder furnishing in a completed questionnaire in customary form to PCSC that contains the information required by Commission rules for a Registration Statement regarding the Holder, the securities of PCSC held by the Holder as shall be reasonably requested by PCSC to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as PCSC may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. If the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by the same number of Business Days on which the Commission remains closed. Such Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available (the "<u>Plan of Distribution</u>") to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. PCSC shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event PCSC files a Form S-1 Shelf, PCSC shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after PCSC is eligible to use Form S-3. PCSC's obligation under this <u>Section 2.1.1</u>, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to <u>Section 3.4</u>. Any failure by PCSC to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to cause the effectiveness of such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve PCSC of its obligations to file or cause the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as set forth above in this <u>Section 2.1</u>. Upon notification by the Commission that any Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, and within two (2) Business Days thereafter, PCSC shall file the final prospectus under Rule 424 of the Securities Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) PCSC will provide a copy of such portions of the draft of the Registration Statement that include a Holder's information to such Holder for review and comment at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement, <u>provided</u>, that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PCSC be required to delay or postpone the filing of such Registration Statement as a result of or in connection with a

Holder's review. With respect to the Holder's information, PCSC shall request such information at least five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated initial filing date of the Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In no event shall a Holder be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission; <u>provided</u>, that if the Commission requests that a Holder be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, such Holder will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement, it being understood that such withdrawal shall not relieve PCSC of its obligation to register for resale the Registrable Securities at a later date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.2 <u>Subsequent Shelf Registration</u>. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, PCSC shall, subject to <u>Section 3.4</u>, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a "<u>Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement"</u>) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) Business Days prior to such filing), and pursuant to the Plan of Distribution. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, PCSC shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if PCSC is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that PCSC is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate form. PCSC's obligation under this <u>Section 2.1.2</u>, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to <u>Section 3.4</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.3 <u>Additional Registration Statement(s)</u>. Subject to <u>Section 3.4</u>, in the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, PCSC, upon written request of such Holder at any time beginning 30 days prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (if applicable), shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by filing a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be subject to the terms hereof; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that PCSC shall only be required to cause such additional Registrable Securities to be so covered twice per calendar year for the Sponsor, Perceptive, and the PCSC Existing Investors, and six times for the Freenome Holders (excluding any Freenome Holders that are affiliated with Perceptive).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.4 <u>Requests for Underwritten Offerings</u>. Subject to Section 3.4, at any time and from time to time and beginning 30 days prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period (if applicable), the Sponsor and Perceptive, or a Freenome Holder (any such Holder being in such case, a "<u>Demanding Holder</u>") may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf; provided that PCSC shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Offering following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (if applicable) if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder, either individually or together with other Demanding Holders, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $50,000,000 (the "<u>Minimum Takedown Threshold</u>"). All requests for Underwritten Offerings shall be made by giving written notice to PCSC, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Offering. Subject to Section 2.4.4, the initial Demanding Holder shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to PCSC's prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The (i) Sponsor and Perceptive may demand not more than two (2) Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 in any twelve (12) month period, and (ii) the Freenome Holders (excluding any Freenome Holders that are affiliated with Perceptive), may demand not more than two (2) Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 in any twelve (12) month period, for an aggregate of not

------

more than six (6) Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 in any twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, PCSC may effect any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement, including a Form S-3, that is then available for such offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.5 <u>Reduction of Underwritten Offering</u>. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering, in good faith, advises PCSC, the Demanding Holders and the Holders requesting piggy back rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Underwritten Offering (such Holders, the "<u>Requesting Holders</u>") (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other PCSC Shares or other equity securities that PCSC desires to sell and all other PCSC Shares or other equity securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the "<u>Maximum Number of Securities</u>"), then PCSC shall include in such Underwritten Offering, before including any PCSC Shares or other equity securities proposed to be sold by PCSC or by other holders of PCSC Shares or other equity securities, (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that all of the Demanding Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Offering), (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Registrable Securities of the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that all of the Requesting Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Offering) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the PCSC Shares or other equity securities that PCSC desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, and (iv) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the PCSC Shares or other equity securities of persons other than Holders of Registrable Securities that PCSC is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.6 <u>Withdrawal</u>. Prior to the filing of the applicable "red herring" prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten Offering, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating an Underwritten Offering shall have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Offering for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a "<u>Withdrawal Notice</u>") to PCSC and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Offering; <u>provided</u> that the Sponsor, Perceptive, or a Freenome Holder may elect to have PCSC continue an Underwritten Offering if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Offering by the Sponsor, Perceptive, the Freenome Holders or any of their respective Permitted Transferees, as applicable. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Offering shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Offering by the withdrawing Demanding Holder for purposes of <u>Section 2.1.4</u>, unless such Demanding Holder reimburses PCSC for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Offering (or, if there is more than one Demanding Holder, a pro rata portion of such Registration Expenses based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering); <u>provided</u> that, if the Sponsor, Perceptive, or a Freenome Holder elects to continue an Underwritten Offering pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Offering shall instead count as an Underwritten Offering demanded by the Sponsor, Perceptive, or such Freenome Holder, as applicable, for purposes of <u>Section 2.1.4</u>. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, PCSC shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, PCSC shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten Offering prior to its withdrawal under this <u>Section 2.1.6</u>, other than if a Demanding Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to the second sentence of this <u>Section 2.1.6</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2 <u>Piggyback Registration</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.1 <u>Piggyback Rights</u>. Subject to <u>Section 2.4.3</u>, if any Holder proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or if PCSC proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Registration of, equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for the account of stockholders of PCSC (or by PCSC and by the stockholders of PCSC including, without limitation, an Underwritten Offering pursuant to <u>Section 2.1</u>), other than a Registration Statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of PCSC, (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, (v) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to PCSC's existing securityholders, (vi) for a rights offering, (vii) for an equity line of credit or an at-the-market offering of securities, (viii) a Block Trade or (ix) an Other Coordinated Offering, then PCSC shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than five (5) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the applicable "red herring" prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such offering, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within seven (7) days after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a "<u>Piggyback Registration</u>"); provided, in the case of an "overnight" or "bought" offering, such requests must be made by the Holders within two (2) Business Days after delivery of any such notice by PCSC; provided further that if PCSC has been advised in writing by the managing Underwriter(s) that the inclusion of Registrable Securities for sale for the benefit of the Holders will have an adverse effect on the price, timing, or distribution of PCSC Shares in an Underwritten Offering, then (1) if no Registrable Securities can be included in the Underwritten Offering in the opinion of the managing Underwriter(s), PCSC shall not be required to offer such opportunity to such Holders or (2) if any Registrable Securities can be included in the Underwritten Offering in the opinion of the managing Underwriter(s), then the amount of Registrable Securities to be offered for the accounts of Holders shall be determined based on the provisions of <u>Section 2.2.2</u>. Subject to the foregoing proviso and to <u>Section 2.2.2</u>, PCSC shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this <u>Section 2.2.1</u> to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of PCSC included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of any Holder's Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder agreement to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.2 <u>Reduction of Piggyback Registration</u>. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises PCSC and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of PCSC Shares or other equity securities that PCSC desires to sell, taken together with (i) the PCSC Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to <u>Section 2.2</u> hereof, and (iii) the PCSC Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if the Registration or registered offering is undertaken for PCSC's account, PCSC shall include in any such Registration or registered offering (A) first, the PCSC Shares or other equity securities that PCSC desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to <u>Section 2.2.1</u>, pro rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that

------

the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the PCSC Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if the Registration or registered offering is pursuant to a demand by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then PCSC shall include in any such Registration or registered offering (A) first, the PCSC Shares or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to <u>Section 2.2.1</u>, pro rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the PCSC Shares or other equity securities that PCSC desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the PCSC Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) if the Registration or registered offering and Underwritten Offering is pursuant to a request by Holder(s) of Registrable Securities pursuant to <u>Section 2.1</u> hereof, then PCSC shall include in any such Registration or registered offering securities in the priority set forth in <u>Section 2.1.5</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.3 <u>Piggyback Registration Withdrawal</u>. Any Holder of Registrable Securities (other than a Demanding Holder, whose right to withdraw from an Underwritten Offering, and related obligations, shall be governed by <u>Section 2.1.6</u>) shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to PCSC and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the filing of the applicable "red herring" prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. PCSC (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons or entities pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration (which, in no circumstance, shall include a Shelf) at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than <u>Section 2.1.6</u>), PCSC shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this <u>Section 2.2.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.4 <u>Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights</u>. For purposes of clarity, subject to <u>Section 2.1.6</u>, any Piggyback Registration effected pursuant to <u>Section 2.2</u> hereof shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Offering under <u>Section 2.1.4</u> hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3 <u>Market Stand-off</u>. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of equity securities of PCSC (other than a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering) in which the Holder participates, if requested by the managing Underwriters, each such Holder that is (a) an executive officer, (b) a director or (c) Holder in excess of five percent (5%) of the outstanding PCSC Shares (and for which it is customary for such a Holder to agree to a lock-up) agrees that it shall not Transfer any PCSC Shares or other equity securities of PCSC (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of PCSC, during the ninety (90)-day period (or such shorter time agreed to by the managing Underwriters) beginning on the date of pricing of such offering, except as expressly permitted by such lock-up agreement or in the event the managing Underwriters otherwise agree by written consent. Each such Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this <u>Article II</u>, but subject to <u>Section 3.4</u>, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, at any time and from time to time following the expiration of the Lock-up Period (if applicable), if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in (a) an underwritten registered offering not involving a "roadshow", an offer commonly known as a "block trade" (a "<u>Block Trade</u>"), or (b) an "at the market" or similar registered offering through a broker, sales agent or distribution agent, whether as agent or principal (an "<u>Other Coordinated Offering</u>"), in each case, (x) with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed $30,000,000 in the aggregate or (y) with respect to all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holder, then such Demanding Holder shall notify PCSC of the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering at least five (5) Business Days prior to the day such offering is to commence and PCSC shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering; <u>provided</u> that the Demanding Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage in the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with PCSC and any Underwriters, brokers, sales agents or placement agents prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4.2 Prior to the filing of the applicable "red herring" prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to submit a Withdrawal Notice to PCSC, the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) and any brokers, sales agents or placement agents (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, PCSC shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering prior to its withdrawal under this <u>Section 2.4.2</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, <u>Section 2.2</u> shall not apply to a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering initiated by a Demanding Holder pursuant to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4.4 The Demanding Holder in a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to select the Underwriters and any brokers, sales agents or placement agents (if any) for such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering (in each case, which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4.5 The (i) Sponsor and Perceptive may demand no more than two (2) Block Trades or Other Coordinated Offerings pursuant to this <u>Section 2.4</u> in any twelve (12) month period, and (ii) the Freenome Holders (excluding any Freenome Holders that are affiliated with Perceptive), may demand no more than six (6) Block Trades or Other Coordinated Offerings pursuant to this <u>Section 2.4</u> in any twelve (12) month period. For the avoidance of doubt, any Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering effected pursuant to this <u>Section 2.4</u> shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Offering pursuant to <u>Section 2.1.4</u> hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.5 cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each national securities exchange on which similar securities issued by PCSC are then listed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.6 provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.7 advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.8 notify the selling Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in <u>Section 3.4</u>;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.9 in the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering, or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration, in each of the following cases to the extent customary for a transaction of its type, permit a representative of the Holders, the Underwriters or other financial institutions facilitating such Underwritten Offering, Block Trade, Other Coordinated Offering or other sale pursuant to such Registration, if any, and any attorney, consultant or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person's or entity's own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause PCSC's officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by

------

any such representative, Underwriter, financial institution, attorney, consultant or accountant in connection with the Registration; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that such representatives, Underwriters or financial institutions agree to confidentiality arrangements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to PCSC, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.10 obtain a "cold comfort" letter (including a bring-down letter dated as of the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration) from PCSC's independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering or a Block Trade pursuant to such Registration (subject to such placement agent or sales agent providing such certification or representation reasonably requested by PCSC's independent registered public accountants and PCSC's counsel) in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by "cold comfort" letters for a transaction of its type as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.11 in the event of an Underwritten Offering or a Block Trade pursuant to such Registration, on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, to the extent customary for a transaction of its type, obtain an opinion and negative assurance letter, dated such date, of counsel representing PCSC for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the participating Holders, the broker, placement agents or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the participating Holders, broker, placement agent, sales agent or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.12 in the event of any Underwritten Offering or a Block Trade, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting or other purchase or sales agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter of such offering or sale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.13 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of PCSC's first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule then in effect), which requirement will be deemed satisfied if PCSC timely files Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K as may be required to be filed under the Exchange Act and otherwise complies with Rule 158 under the Securities Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.14 with respect to an Underwritten Offering pursuant to <u>Section 2.1.4</u>, use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of PCSC to participate in customary "road show" presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.15 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the participating Holders, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with such Registration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, PCSC shall not be required to provide any documents or information to an Underwriter, broker, sales agent or placement agent if such Underwriter, broker, sales agent or placement agent has not then been named with respect to the applicable Underwritten Offering or other offering involving a registration as an Underwriter, broker, sales agent or placement agent, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 <u>Registration Expenses</u>. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by PCSC. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters' commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of "Registration Expenses," all fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 <u>Requirements for Participation in Registration Statement and Underwritten Offerings</u>. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not provide PCSC with its requested Holder Information, PCSC may exclude such Holder's Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if PCSC determines, based on the advice of counsel, that it is necessary or advisable to include such information in the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. In addition, no person or entity may participate in any Underwritten Offering or other offering for equity securities of PCSC pursuant to a Registration initiated by PCSC hereunder unless such person or entity (i) agrees to sell such person's or entity's securities on the basis provided in any underwriting, sales, distribution or placement arrangements approved

------

by PCSC and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting or other agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting, sales, distribution or placement arrangements provided that such Holder shall only be subject to the restrictions set forth in any such lock-up agreements if the directors and officers of PCSC are subject to a lock-up obligation to the Underwriters managing the offering and the length of such lock-up for such Holder shall be no longer than the shortest lock-up of any such directors and officers; provided, further, that if PCSC or the Underwriters managing the offering waive or shorten the lock-up period for any of PCSC's officers, directors or stockholders, then (i) all Holders subject to such lock-up shall receive notice of such waiver or modification no later than two (2) business days following such waiver or modification, and (ii) such lock-up will be similarly waived pro rata or shortened for each such Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, the exclusion of a Holder's Registrable Securities as a result of this <u>Section 3.3</u> shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 <u>Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4.1 Upon receipt of written notice from PCSC that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that PCSC hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by PCSC that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4.2 Subject to <u>Section 3.4.4</u>, if the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would (a) require PCSC to make an Adverse Disclosure, (b) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to PCSC, or (c) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the PCSC Board such Registration, be seriously detrimental to PCSC and the majority of the PCSC Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, PCSC may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders (which notice shall not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such delay or suspension), delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by PCSC to be necessary for such purpose. In the event PCSC exercises its rights under this <u>Section 3.4.2</u>, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities until such Holder receives written notice from PCSC that such sales or offers of Registrable Securities may be resumed, and in each case maintain the confidentiality of such notice and its contents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4.3 Subject to <u>Section 3.4.4</u>, (a) during the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior to PCSC's good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a PCSC-initiated Registration and provided that PCSC continues to actively employ, in good faith, all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration, or (b) if, pursuant to <u>Section 2.1.4</u>, Holders have requested an Underwritten Offering and PCSC and Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, PCSC may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to <u>Section 2.1.4</u> or <u>2.4</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4.4 The right to delay or suspend any filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement pursuant to <u>Section 3.4.2</u> or a registered offering pursuant to <u>Section 3.4.3</u> shall be exercised by PCSC, in the aggregate, on not more than two (2) occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days during any twelve (12)-month period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5 <u>Reporting Obligations</u>. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, PCSC, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by PCSC after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings; <u>provided</u> that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered to the Holders pursuant to this <u>Section 3.5</u>. PCSC further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell PCSC Shares held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect). Upon the request of any Holder, PCSC shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 <u>Restrictive Legend Removal</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6.1 At any time and from time to time in connection with a bona-fide sale of Registrable Securities effected in compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or through any broker-dealer sale transactions described in the plan of distribution set forth within any prospectus and pursuant to the Registration Statement of which such prospectus forms a part, PCSC shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, subject to the receipt of customary documentation required from the holder of the applicable Registrable Securities and broker in connection therewith and compliance with applicable laws, (i) promptly instruct its transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends applicable to the Registrable Securities being sold and (ii) cause its legal counsel to deliver the necessary legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i). PCSC shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent, its legal counsel (including for purposes of giving the opinion referenced herein) and all DTC fees associated with such issuance and the Holder shall be responsible for its fees or costs associated with such removal of such restrictive legends (including its legal fees or costs of its legal counsel).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6.2 With a view to making available to each Holder of Registrable Securities the benefits of Rule 144 that permit the Holder to sell securities of PCSC to the public without registration, PCSC agrees, for so long as any Holder holds Registrable Securities, to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) use commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of PCSC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as PCSC remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents as may be required pursuant to the applicable provisions of Rule 144.

#### INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 <u>Indemnification</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.1 PCSC agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents and each person or entity who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented outside attorneys' fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of a Prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made), except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to PCSC by such Holder expressly for use therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to PCSC in writing such information and affidavits as PCSC reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the "<u>Holder Information</u>") and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify PCSC, its directors, officers and agents and each person or entity who controls PCSC (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented outside attorneys' fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of a Prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made), but only to the extent that such untrue statement is contained in (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person or entity who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of PCSC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.3 Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person's or entity's right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus one local counsel if necessary in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. PCSC and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event PCSC's or such Holder's indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under <u>Section 4.1</u> from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and documented out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and documented out-of-pocket expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party's and indemnified party's relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the liability of any Holder under this <u>Section 4.1.5</u> shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in <u>Sections 4.1.1</u>, <u>4.1.2</u> and <u>4.1.3</u> above, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this <u>Section 4.1.5</u> were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this <u>Section 4.1.5</u>. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this <u>Section 4.1.5</u> from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

This Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other state. The parties agree that all disputes, legal actions, suits and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement must be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (collectively the "<u>Designated Courts</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5 <u>TRIAL BY JURY</u>.

No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.7 <u>Other Registration Rights</u>. Other than as provided in the (i) Private Placement Shares Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2024, between PCSC and the Sponsor and (ii) any subscription agreement entered into by PCSC and the investors party thereto in connection with a PIPE Investment, PCSC represents and warrants that no person or entity, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require PCSC to register any securities of PCSC for sale or to include such securities of PCSC in any Registration Statement filed by PCSC for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person or entity. PCSC hereby agrees and covenants that it will not grant rights to register any PCSC Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for PCSC Shares) pursuant to the Securities Act that are more favorable, *pari passu* or senior to those granted to the Holders hereunder without (a) the prior written consent of (i) Perceptive, for so long as Perceptive and its affiliates hold, in the aggregate, Registrable Securities representing at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding PCSC Shares and (ii) a Freenome Holder, for so long as such Freenome Holder and its affiliates hold, in the aggregate, Registrable Securities representing at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding PCSC Shares or (b) granting economically and legally equivalent rights to the Holders hereunder such that the Holders shall receive the benefit of such more favorable or senior terms and/or conditions. Further, PCSC represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.8 <u>Term</u>. This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the fifth (5<sup>th</sup>) anniversary of the date of this Agreement and (b) with respect to any Holder, on the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities. The provisions of <u>Sections 3.5</u> and <u>Article IV</u> shall survive any termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.9 <u>Holder Information</u>. Each Holder agrees, if requested in writing, to represent to PCSC the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder in order for PCSC to make determinations hereunder.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.10 <u>Severability</u>. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.11 <u>Entire Agreement; Restatement</u>. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter. Upon the Closing, the Original RSRA shall no longer be of any force or effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.12 <u>Adjustments</u>. If, and as often as, there are any changes in the Registrable Securities by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or sale, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required, so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations hereunder shall continue with respect to the Registrable Securities as so changed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) Transfers to PubCo pursuant to any contractual arrangement in effect at the Closing that provides for the repurchase by PubCo or forfeiture of Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock in connection with the termination of the Holder's service to PubCo;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) Transfers in connection with a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization, tender offer approved by PubCo's board of directors or a duly authorized committee thereof or other similar transaction which results in all of PubCo's stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property.

*provided, however, that (A) in the case of clauses (a) through (g), the transferee(s) of such Transfer must enter into a written agreement, in substantially the form of this Agreement (it being understood that any references to "immediate family" in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the Holder and not to the immediate family of the transferee), agreeing to be bound by these Transfer restrictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. In furtherance of the foregoing, PubCo, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described therein, are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement, and such purported Transfer shall be null and void *ab initio*. In addition, during the Lock-Up Period, each certificate or book-entry position evidencing the Lock-Up Shares shall be marked with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SECURITIES (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE SECURITIES). A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. PubCo represents that it has not entered into any side letter or agreement with any Holder which provides any rights or benefits to such Holder that are materially more favorable to such Holder than the rights and benefits in this Agreement and will not enter into any such side letter or agreement unless such rights and benefits are also offered to the other Holders. PubCo agrees that this Agreement shall not be amended or modified, and no terms or conditions thereof waived, in a manner that benefits any Holder, unless the terms of such amendment, modification or waiver is also offered to the other Holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. Notwithstanding the other provisions set forth herein, PubCo's board of directors may, in its sole discretion, determine to waive, amend, or repeal the restrictions set forth in paragraph 1 above, whether in whole or in part; provided, that any such waiver, amendment or repeal shall (i) not make such restrictions more restrictive or apply for a longer period of time, and (ii) apply to each Holder.

Except as otherwise expressly stated herein or in any of the agreements referenced herein, there is no condition precedent to the effectiveness of any provision hereof or thereof.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to any other series of Preferred Stock to the extent permitted by law.

ARTICLE V

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

<u>STOCKHOLDER ACTION</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Action without Meeting</u>. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be taken or effected by a consent of stockholders in lieu thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Special Meetings</u>. Except as otherwise required by statute and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Board of Directors, and special meetings of stockholders may not be called by any other person or persons. Only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VI

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

<u>DIRECTORS</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>General</u>. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors except as otherwise provided herein or required by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Number of Directors; Term of Office</u>. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article IV (including any certificate of designation with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) and this Article VI relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional Directors, the number of directors of the Corporation (the "Directors") shall be fixed solely and exclusively by resolution duly adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, shall be classified, with respect to the term for which they severally hold office, into three classes. The term of office of the initial Class I Directors shall expire at the first regularly-scheduled annual meeting of stockholders following the initial effectiveness of this certificate. The term of office of the initial Class II Directors shall expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders following the initial effectiveness of this certificate. The term of office of the initial Class III Directors shall expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the initial effectiveness of this certificate. The Board of Directors is authorized to assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to such classes at the time the classification of the Board of Directors becomes effective. At each annual meeting of stockholders, Directors elected to succeed those Directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Directors elected to each class shall hold office until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier

------

resignation, death, disqualification or removal. No decrease in the number of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director. There shall be no cumulative voting in the election of Directors. Election of Directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation so provide.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever, pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of this Certificate, the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a series or together with holders of other such series, to elect additional Directors, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Certificate, including any certificate of designation applicable to such series of Preferred Stock. During any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more series, have the right to elect additional Directors, then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which such right continues: (i) the then otherwise total authorized number of Directors shall automatically be increased by such specified number of Directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the additional Directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to said provisions, and (ii) each such additional Director shall serve until such Director's successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such Director's right to hold such office terminates pursuant to said provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to such Director's earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, except as otherwise provided by the Board in the resolution or resolutions establishing such series, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional Directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such stock, the terms of office of all such additional Directors elected by the holders of such stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional Directors, shall forthwith terminate (in which case each such Director shall thereupon cease to be qualified as, and shall cease to be, a Director) and the total authorized number of Directors shall automatically be reduced accordingly.

The Board of Directors or a designated committee thereof shall have the power to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the provisions of this Bylaw. If neither the Board of Directors nor such designated committee makes a determination as to whether any stockholder proposal or nomination was made in accordance with the provisions of this Bylaw, the chair of the meeting (as defined in Section 9 of this Article I) shall have the power and duty to determine whether the stockholder proposal or nomination was made in accordance with the provisions of this Bylaw. If the Board of Directors or a designated committee thereof or the chair of the meeting, as applicable, determines that any stockholder proposal or nomination was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Bylaw, such proposal or nomination shall be disregarded and shall not be presented for action at the Annual Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Except as otherwise required by law, nothing in this Article I, Section 2 shall obligate the Corporation or the Board of Directors to include in any proxy statement or other stockholder communication distributed on behalf of the Corporation or the Board of Directors information with respect to any nominee for director or any other matter of business submitted by a stockholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article I, Section 2, if the nominating or proposing stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the Annual Meeting to present a nomination or any business, such nomination or business shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Article I, Section 2, to be considered a qualified representative of the proposing stockholder, a person must be authorized by a written instrument executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders, and such person must produce such written instrument or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the written instrument or electronic transmission, to the chair of the meeting at the meeting of stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Bylaw, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, but not limited to, Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act, with respect to the matters set forth in this Bylaw. If a stockholder fails to comply with any applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, including, but not limited to, Rule 14a-19 promulgated thereunder, such stockholder's proposed nomination or proposed business shall be deemed to have not been made in compliance with this Bylaw and shall be disregarded.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) Further notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Bylaw, unless otherwise required by law, (i) no Proposing Person shall solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Corporation's nominees unless such Proposing Person has complied with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act in connection with the solicitation of such proxies, including the provision to the Corporation of notices required thereunder with timely notice and (ii) if any Proposing Person (A) provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, (B) subsequently fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) or Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act, including the provision to the Corporation of notices required thereunder with timely notice and (C) no other Proposing Person has provided notice pursuant to, and in compliance with, Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act that it intends to solicit proxies in support of the election of such proposed nominee in accordance with Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act, then such proposed nominee shall be disqualified from nomination, the Corporation shall disregard the nomination of such proposed nominee and no vote on the election of such proposed nominee shall occur.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) The number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the Annual Meeting (or in the case of a stockholder giving the notice on behalf of a beneficial owner, the number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the Annual Meeting on behalf of such beneficial owner) shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such Annual Meeting. A stockholder may not designate any substitute nominees unless the stockholder provides timely notice of such substitute nominee(s) in accordance with these By-laws (and such notice contains all of the information, representations, questionnaires and certifications with respect to such substitute nominee(s) that are required by the By-laws with respect to nominees for director).

SECTION 3. <u>Special Meetings</u>. Except as otherwise required by statute and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by or at the direction of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled special meeting of stockholders. Only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and stockholder proposals of other business shall not be brought before a special meeting of stockholders to be considered by the stockholders unless such special meeting is held in lieu of an annual meeting of stockholders in accordance with Article I, Section 1 of these Bylaws, in which case such special meeting in lieu thereof shall be deemed an Annual Meeting for purposes of these Bylaws and the provisions of Article I, Section 2 of these Bylaws shall govern such special meeting.

SECTION 4. <u>Notice of Meetings; Adjournments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) A notice of each Annual Meeting stating the hour, date and place, if any, of such Annual Meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, shall be given not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the Annual Meeting, to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat by delivering such notice to such stockholder or by mailing it, postage prepaid, addressed to such stockholder at the address of such stockholder as it appears on the Corporation's stock transfer books. Without limiting the manner by which notice may otherwise be given to stockholders, any notice to stockholders may be given by electronic transmission in the manner provided in Section 232 of the DGCL.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notice of all special meetings of stockholders shall be given in the same manner as provided for Annual Meetings, except that the notice of all special meetings shall also state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting has been called.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notice of an Annual Meeting or special meeting of stockholders need not be given to a stockholder if a waiver of notice is executed, or waiver of notice by electronic transmission is provided, before or after such meeting by such stockholder or if such stockholder attends such meeting, unless such attendance is for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Board of Directors may postpone and reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled Annual Meeting or special meeting of stockholders and any record date with respect thereto, regardless of whether any notice or public disclosure with respect to any such meeting has been sent or made pursuant to Section 2 of this Article I or otherwise. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment, postponement or rescheduling of any previously scheduled meeting of stockholders commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder's notice under this Article I.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) When any meeting is convened, the chair of the meeting or the stockholders present or represented by proxy at such meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time for any reason, regardless of whether a quorum is present, to reconvene at any other time and at any place at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these Bylaws. When any Annual Meeting or special meeting of stockholders is adjourned to another hour, date or place (including an adjournment taken to address a technical failure to convene or continue a meeting using remote communication), notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are (i) announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, (ii) displayed, during the time scheduled for the meeting, on the same electronic network used to enable stockholders and proxy holders to participate in the meeting by means of remote communication or (iii) set forth in the notice of meeting given in accordance with this Section 4; provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days from the meeting date, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote thereat and each stockholder who, by law or under the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as the same may hereafter be amended and/or restated, the "Certificate") or these Bylaws, is entitled to such notice.

SECTION 5. <u>Quorum</u>. Except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, at each meeting of stockholders, the presence in person or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum. If less than a quorum is present at a meeting, the chair of the meeting or the holders of voting stock, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, may adjourn the meeting from time to time, and the meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice, except as otherwise provided in Section 4 of this Article I. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. The stockholders present at a duly constituted meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

SECTION 6. <u>Voting and Proxies</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Article IV, Section 4 of these Bylaws, subject to Section 217 (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners of stock) and Section 218 (relating to voting trusts and other voting agreements) of the DGCL. Stockholders shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote owned by them of record according to the stock ledger of the Corporation as of the record date, unless otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate. Stockholders may vote either (i) in person, (ii) by written proxy or (iii) by a transmission permitted by Section 212(c) of the DGCL. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission permitted by Section 212(c) of the DGCL may be substituted for or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission. Proxies shall be filed in accordance with the procedures established for the meeting of stockholders. A proxy with respect to stock held in the name of two or more persons shall be valid if executed by or on behalf of any one of them unless at or prior to the exercise of the proxy the Corporation receives a specific written notice to the contrary from any one of them. In the event the Corporation receives proxies for disqualified or withdrawn nominees for the Board of Directors, such votes for such disqualified or withdrawn nominees in the proxies will be treated as abstentions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 7. <u>Action at Meeting</u>. When a quorum is present at any meeting of stockholders, any matter before any such meeting (other than an election of a director or directors) shall be decided by a majority of the votes properly cast for and against such matter, except where a larger vote is required by law, by the Certificate or by these Bylaws. Any election of directors by stockholders shall be determined by a plurality of the votes properly cast on the election of directors.

SECTION 8. <u>Stockholder Lists</u>. The Corporation shall prepare, no later than the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) day before each Annual Meeting or special meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder; provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth (10th) day before the meeting date. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of ten (10) days ending on the day before the meeting date in the manner provided by law.

If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chair of the meeting officer shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Any inspector may, but need not, be an officer, employee or agent of the Corporation. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) <u>Actions, Suits and Proceedings Other than By or In the Right of the Corporation</u>.

------

SECTION 3. <u>Indemnification of Non-Officer Employees</u>. Subject to the operation of Section 4 of this Article V, each Non-Officer Employee may, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against any or all Expenses and Liabilities that are incurred by such Non-Officer Employee or on such Non-Officer Employee's behalf in connection with any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding, or any claim, issue or matter therein, which such Non-Officer Employee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in by reason of such Non-Officer Employee's Corporate Status, if such Non-Officer Employee acted in good faith and in a manner such Non-Officer Employee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The rights of indemnification provided by this Section 3 shall exist as to a Non-Officer Employee after he or she has ceased to be a Non-Officer Employee and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may indemnify any Non-Officer Employee seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Non-Officer Employee only if such Proceeding was authorized in advance by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 4. <u>Determination</u>. Unless ordered by a court, no indemnification shall be provided pursuant to this Article V to a Director, to an Officer or to a Non-Officer Employee unless a determination shall have been made that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Such determination shall be made by (a) a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, (b) a committee comprised of Disinterested Directors, such committee having been designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (even though less than a quorum), (c) if there are no such Disinterested Directors, or if a majority of Disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (d) by the stockholders of the Corporation.

SECTION 5. <u>Advancement of Expenses to Directors Prior to Final Disposition</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Corporation shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Director in connection with any Proceeding in which such Director is involved by reason of such Director's Corporate Status within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Corporation of a written statement from such Director requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by such Director and shall be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of such Director to repay any Expenses so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Director is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Director seeking advancement of expenses hereunder in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Director only if such Proceeding (including any parts of such Proceeding not initiated by such Director) was (i) authorized by the Board of Directors or (ii) brought to enforce such Director's rights to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under these Bylaws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If a claim for advancement of Expenses hereunder by a Director is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Corporation of documentation of Expenses and the required undertaking, such Director may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, such Director shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. The failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of such advancement of Expenses under this Article V shall not be a defense to an action brought by a Director for recovery of the unpaid amount of an advancement claim and shall not create a presumption that such advancement is not permissible. The burden of proving that a Director is not entitled to an advancement of expenses shall be on the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the Director has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.

SECTION 6. <u>Advancement of Expenses to Officers and Non-Officer Employees Prior to Final Disposition</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Corporation may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, advance any or all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Officer or any Non-Officer Employee in connection with any Proceeding in which such

------

person is involved by reason of his or her Corporate Status as an Officer or Non-Officer Employee upon the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from such Officer or Non-Officer Employee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by such Officer or Non-Officer Employee and shall be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay any Expenses so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Officer or Non-Officer Employee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the Officer or Non-Officer Employee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.

SECTION 7. <u>Contractual Nature of Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The provisions of this Article V shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each Director and Officer entitled to the benefits hereof at any time while this Article V is in effect, in consideration of such person's past or current and any future performance of services for the Corporation. Neither amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article V nor the adoption of any provision of the Certificate inconsistent with this Article V shall eliminate or reduce any right conferred by this Article V in respect of any act or omission occurring, or any cause of action or claim that accrues or arises or any state of facts existing, at the time of or before such amendment, repeal, modification or adoption of an inconsistent provision (even in the case of a proceeding based on such a state of facts that is commenced after such time), and all rights to indemnification and advancement of Expenses granted herein or arising out of any act or omission shall vest at the time of the act or omission in question, regardless of when or if any proceeding with respect to such act or omission is commenced. The rights to indemnification and to advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article V shall continue notwithstanding that the person has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If a claim for indemnification hereunder by a Director or Officer is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Corporation of a written claim for indemnification, such Director or Officer may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, such Director or Officer shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. The failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of such indemnification under this Article V shall not be a defense to an action brought by a Director or Officer for recovery of the unpaid amount of an indemnification claim and shall not create a presumption that such indemnification is not permissible. The burden of proving that a Director or Officer is not entitled to indemnification shall be on the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In any suit brought by a Director or Officer to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder, it shall be a defense that such Director or Officer has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.

SECTION 8. <u>Non-Exclusivity of Rights</u>. The rights to indemnification and to advancement of Expenses set forth in this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other right that any Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate or these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise.

SECTION 9. <u>Insurance</u>. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee against any liability of any character asserted against or incurred by the Corporation or any such Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee, or arising out of any such person's Corporate Status, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the DGCL or the provisions of this Article V.

SECTION 10. <u>Other Indemnification</u>. The Corporation's obligation, if any, to indemnify or provide advancement of Expenses to any person under this Article V as a result of such person serving, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or enterprise (the "Primary Indemnitor"). Any indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this

------

Article V owed by the Corporation as a result of a person serving, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall only be in excess of, and shall be secondary to, the indemnification or advancement of Expenses available from the applicable Primary Indemnitor(s) and any applicable insurance policies.

SECTION 11. <u>Savings Clause</u>. If this Article V or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each indemnitee as to any expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees), liabilities, losses, judgments, fines (including, without limitation, excise taxes and penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended) and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including, without limitation, an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article V that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) subject to the provisions of Section 5(c) or Section 6(d), as applicable, to extend at any time the period in which Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) at any time to adopt, alter and repeal such rules, guidelines and practices for administration of the Plan and for its own acts and proceedings as it deems advisable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award (including related written and electronic instruments);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) to make all determinations it deems advisable for the administration of the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) to decide all disputes arising in connection with the Plan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xi) to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.

All decisions and interpretations of the Administrator shall be binding on all persons, including the Company, Affiliates and Plan grantees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Delegation of Authority to Grant Awards</u>. Subject to applicable law, the Administrator, in its discretion, may delegate to a subcommittee comprised of one or more members of the Board or committee comprised of one or more officers of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, all or part of the Administrator's authority and duties with respect to the granting of Awards to individuals who are not (i) subject to the reporting and other provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and (ii) members of the delegated subcommittee or committee. Any such delegation by the Administrator shall include a time period for the delegation and a limitation as to the amount of Stock underlying Awards that may be granted during the period of the delegation and shall contain guidelines as to the determination of the exercise price and the vesting criteria. The Administrator may revoke or amend the terms of a delegation at any time but such action shall not invalidate any prior actions of the Administrator's delegate or delegates that were consistent with the terms of the Plan and limits and guidelines in effect at the time of the prior action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Award Certificate</u>. Other than with respect to Cash-Based Awards, Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by Award Certificates that set forth the terms, conditions and limitations for each Award, which may include, without limitation, the term of an Award and the provisions applicable in the event employment or service terminates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Indemnification</u>. Neither the Board nor the Administrator, nor any member of either or any delegate thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with the Plan, and the members of the Board and the Administrator (and any delegate thereof) shall be entitled in all cases to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage

------

or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under the Company's articles or bylaws or any directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage that may be in effect from time to time and/or any indemnification agreement between such individual and the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Non-U.S. Award Recipients</u>. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to comply, or facilitate compliance, with the laws in other countries in which the Company and its Affiliates operate or have employees or other individuals eligible for Awards, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to: (i) determine which Affiliates are covered by the Plan; (ii) determine which individuals outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan; (iii) modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to individuals outside the United States to comply, or facilitate compliance, with applicable non-U.S. laws; (iv) establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent the Administrator determines such actions to be necessary or advisable (and such subplans and/or modifications shall be incorporated into and made part of this Plan); provided, however, that no such subplans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitations contained in Section 3(a) hereof; and (v) take any action, before or after an Award is made, that the Administrator determines to be necessary or advisable to obtain approval or comply, or facilitate compliance, with any local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that would violate the Exchange Act or any other applicable United States securities law, the Code or any other applicable United States governing statute or law.

SECTION 3. <u>STOCK ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN; MERGERS; SUBSTITUTION</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Stock Issuable</u>. The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be [•] shares (the "*Initial Limit*"), subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 3 plus, on January 1, 2027 and each January 1 thereafter, the number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be automatically cumulatively increased by (i) 5% of the number of Outstanding Shares on the immediately preceding December 31 or (ii) such lesser number of shares of Stock as determined by the Administrator (the "*Annual Increase*"). Subject to such overall limitation, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed the Initial Limit, as cumulatively increased on January 1, 2027 and each January 1 thereafter by the lesser of the Annual Increase for such year or 7,000,000 shares of Stock, subject in all cases to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b). For purposes of these limitations, the shares of Stock underlying any awards under the Plan or the Prior Plan that are forfeited, canceled, held back upon exercise of an Option or settlement of an Award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of Stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) will be added back to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan and, to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the shares of Stock that may be issued as Incentive Stock Options. In the event the Company repurchases shares of Stock on the open market, such shares shall not be added to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitations, shares of Stock may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award. The shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock or shares of Stock reacquired by the Company. Awards that may be settled solely in cash shall not be counted against the share reserve.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Changes in Stock</u>. Subject to Section 3(c) hereof, if, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company's capital stock, Outstanding Shares are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Stock or other securities, or, if, as a result of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, Outstanding Shares are converted into or exchanged for securities of the Company or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the Administrator shall make an appropriate or proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, including the maximum number of shares that may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options, (ii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iii) the repurchase price, if any, per share subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award and (iv) the exercise price for each share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise

------

price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by the number of shares subject to Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) as to which such Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights remain exercisable. The Administrator shall also make equitable or proportionate adjustments in the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration cash dividends paid other than in the ordinary course or any other extraordinary corporate event. The adjustment by the Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the Administrator in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Mergers and Other Transactions</u>. In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event, the parties thereto may cause the assumption or continuation of Awards theretofore granted by the successor entity or the substitution of such Awards with new Awards of the successor entity or parent thereof, with appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and, if appropriate, the per share exercise prices, as such parties shall agree. To the extent the parties to such Sale Event do not provide for the assumption, continuation or substitution of Awards, upon the effective time of the Sale Event, the Plan and all outstanding Awards granted hereunder shall terminate. In such case, except as may be otherwise provided in the relevant Award Certificate, all Awards with time-based vesting, conditions or restrictions shall become fully vested and exercisable or nonforfeitable as of the effective time of the Sale Event, and all Awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals may become vested and exercisable or nonforfeitable in connection with a Sale Event in the Administrator's discretion or to the extent specified in the relevant Award Certificate. In the event of such termination, (i) the Company shall have the option (in its sole discretion) to make or provide for a payment, in cash or in kind, to the grantees holding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the Sale Price multiplied by the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable (after taking into account any acceleration hereunder) at prices not in excess of the Sale Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (provided that, in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right with an exercise price equal to or greater than the Sale Price, such Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be cancelled for no consideration) or (ii) each grantee shall be permitted, within a specified period of time prior to the consummation of the Sale Event as determined by the Administrator, to exercise all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable after taking into account any acceleration hereunder) held by such grantee. The Company shall also have the option, in its sole discretion, to make or provide for a payment, in cash or in kind, to the grantees holding other Awards, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the Sale Price multiplied by the number of vested shares of Stock under such Awards (after taking into account any acceleration hereunder).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Maximum Awards to Non-Employee Directors</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the value of all Awards awarded under this Plan and all other cash compensation paid by the Company to any Non-Employee Director in any calendar year for services as a Non-Employee Director shall not exceed $600,000; provided, however, that such amount shall be $1,000,000 for the calendar year in which the applicable Non-Employee Director is initially elected or appointed to the Board. For the purpose of these limitations, the value of any Award shall be its grant date fair value, as determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 or successor provision but excluding the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Substitute Awards</u>. The Administrator may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for shares and share-based awards held by employees, directors or consultants of another corporation in connection with the merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or a Subsidiary or the acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary of property or shares of the employing corporation. The Administrator may direct that the substitute Awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Administrator considers appropriate in the circumstances. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any substitute Awards granted under the Plan shall not count against the share limitations set forth in Section 3(a).

SECTION 4. <u>ELIGIBILITY</u>

Grantees under the Plan will be such employees, Non-Employee Directors or Consultants of the Company and its Affiliates as are selected from time to time by the Administrator in its sole discretion; provided that Awards may not be granted to employees, Non-Employee Directors or Consultants who are providing services only to any "parent" of the Company, as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the Act, unless (i) the stock underlying the Awards is treated as "service recipient stock" under Section 409A or (ii) the Company, in consultation with its legal counsel, has determined that such Awards are exempt from or otherwise comply with Section 409A.

------

SECTION 5. <u>STOCK OPTIONS</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Award of Stock Options</u>. The Administrator may grant Stock Options under the Plan. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve.

Stock Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company, any "parent corporation" within the meaning of Section 424(e) of the Code or any Subsidiary that is a "subsidiary corporation" within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall be deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

Stock Options shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator deems desirable. If the Administrator so determines, Stock Options may be granted in lieu of cash compensation at the optionee's election, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may establish.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Exercise Price</u>. The exercise price per share for the Stock covered by a Stock Option shall be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the exercise price of such Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the grant date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stock Options may be granted with an exercise price per share that is less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant (i) pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code, (ii) to individuals who are not subject to U.S. income tax on the date of grant or (iii) if the Stock Option is otherwise exempt from or compliant with Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Option Term</u>. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date the Stock Option is granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the term of such Stock Option shall be no more than five years from the date of grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Exercisability; Rights of a Stockholder</u>. Stock Options shall become exercisable at such time or times, whether or not in installments, as determined by the Administrator at or after the grant date. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Method of Exercise</u>. Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Payment of the exercise price may be made by one or more of the following methods except to the extent otherwise provided in the Award Certificate:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) In cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership following such procedures as the Company may prescribe) of shares of Stock that are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) By the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company for the exercise price; provided that in the event the optionee chooses to pay the exercise price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Company may prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) With respect to Stock Options that are not Incentive Stock Options, by a "net exercise" arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price.

Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the shares of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in the optionee's stead in accordance with

------

the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full exercise price for such shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Award Certificate or applicable provisions of laws (including the satisfaction of any withholding taxes that the Company or an Affiliate is obligated to withhold with respect to the optionee). In the event an optionee chooses to pay the exercise price by previously-owned shares of Stock through the attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of attested shares. In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the exercise of Stock Options, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless exercise of Stock Options may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options</u>. To the extent required for "incentive stock option" treatment under Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan and any other plan of the Company or its parent and subsidiary corporations become exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent that any Stock Option exceeds this limit, it shall be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

SECTION 6. <u>STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Award of Stock Appreciation Rights</u>. The Administrator may grant Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan. A Stock Appreciation Right is an Award entitling the recipient to receive shares of Stock (or cash, to the extent explicitly provided for in the applicable Award Certificate) having a value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the Stock Appreciation Right multiplied by the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Exercise Price of Stock Appreciation Rights</u>. The exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted with an exercise price per share that is less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant (i) pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code, (ii) to individuals who are not subject to U.S. income tax on the date of grant or (iii) if the Stock Appreciation Right is otherwise exempt from or compliant with Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Grant and Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights</u>. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted by the Administrator independently of any Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights</u>. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator on or after the date of grant. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right may not exceed ten years.

SECTION 7. <u>RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Nature of Restricted Stock Awards</u>. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Awards under the Plan. A Restricted Stock Award is any Award of Restricted Shares subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Administrator determines at or after the time of grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Rights as a Stockholder</u>. Upon the grant of a Restricted Stock Award and payment of any applicable purchase price, if any, a grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the voting of the Restricted Shares and receipt of dividends; provided that any dividends paid by the Company during the vesting period shall accrue and shall not be paid to the grantee until and to the extent the Restricted Stock Award vests. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, (i) uncertificated Restricted Shares shall be accompanied by a notation on the records of the Company or the transfer agent to the effect that they are subject to forfeiture until such Restricted Shares are vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and (ii) certificated Restricted Shares shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Shares are vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and the grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company such instruments of transfer as the Administrator may prescribe.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Restrictions</u>. Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided herein or in the Award Certificate. Except as otherwise provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 16 below, in writing after the Award is issued, if a grantee's Service Relationship terminates for any reason, any Restricted Shares that have not vested at

------

the time of termination shall automatically and without any requirement of notice to such grantee from or other action by or on behalf of, the Company be deemed to have been reacquired by the Company at their original purchase price (if any) from such grantee or such grantee's legal representative simultaneously with such termination of the Service Relationship, and thereafter shall cease to represent any ownership of the Company by the grantee or rights of the grantee as a stockholder. Following such deemed reacquisition of Restricted Shares that are represented by physical certificates, a grantee shall surrender such certificates to the Company upon request without consideration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Vesting of Restricted Shares</u>. The Administrator at or after the time of grant shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established performance goals, objectives or other conditions on which the non-transferability of the Restricted Shares and the Company's right of repurchase or forfeiture shall lapse. Subsequent to such date or dates and/or the attainment of such pre-established performance goals, objectives or other conditions, the shares on which all restrictions have lapsed shall no longer be Restricted Shares and shall be deemed "vested."

SECTION 8. <u>RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Nature of Restricted Stock Units</u>. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan. A Restricted Stock Unit is an Award of stock units that may be settled in shares of Stock (or cash, to the extent explicitly provided for in the Award Certificate) upon the satisfaction of such restrictions and conditions at the time of grant. Except in the case of Restricted Stock Units with a deferred settlement date that complies with Section 409A, at the end of the vesting period, Restricted Stock Units, to the extent vested, shall be settled in the form of shares of Stock (or cash, to the extent explicitly provided for in the Award Certificate). Restricted Stock Units with deferred settlement dates granted to U.S. taxpayers are subject to Section 409A and shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion in order to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Election to Receive Restricted Stock Units in Lieu of Compensation</u>. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit a grantee to elect to receive a portion of future cash compensation otherwise due to such grantee in the form of an Award of Restricted Stock Units. Any such election shall be made in writing and shall be delivered to the Company no later than the date specified by the Administrator and, if applicable, in accordance with Section 409A and such other rules and procedures established by the Administrator. Any such future cash compensation that the grantee elects to defer will be converted to a fixed number of Restricted Stock Units based on the Fair Market Value of Stock on the date the compensation would otherwise have been paid to the grantee if such payment had not been deferred as provided herein. The Administrator shall have the sole right to determine whether and under what circumstances to permit such elections and to impose such limitations and other terms and conditions thereon as the Administrator deems appropriate. Any Restricted Stock Units that are elected to be received in lieu of cash compensation shall be fully vested, unless otherwise provided in the Award Certificate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Rights as a Stockholder</u>. A grantee shall have the rights as a stockholder only as to shares of Stock acquired by the grantee upon settlement of Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that the grantee may be credited with Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the stock units underlying the grantee's Restricted Stock Units, subject to the provisions of Section 11 and such terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Termination</u>. Except as otherwise provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 16 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee's right in all Restricted Stock Units that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the termination of the grantee's Service Relationship for any reason.

SECTION 9. <u>UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS</u>

<u>Grant or Sale of Unrestricted Stock</u>. The Administrator may grant (or sell at par value or such higher purchase price determined by the Administrator) an Unrestricted Stock Award under the Plan. An Unrestricted Stock Award is an Award pursuant to which the grantee receives shares of Stock free of any restrictions under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of cash compensation due to such grantee.

SECTION 10. <u>CASH-BASED AWARDS</u>

<u>Grant of Cash-Based Awards</u>. The Administrator may grant Cash-Based Awards under the Plan. A Cash-Based Award is an Award that entitles the grantee to a payment in cash upon the attainment of specified performance goals. The

------

Administrator shall determine the maximum duration of the Cash-Based Award, the amount of cash to which the Cash-Based Award pertains, the conditions upon which the Cash-Based Award becomes vested or payable and such other provisions as the Administrator determines. Each Cash-Based Award shall specify a cash-denominated payment amount, formula or payment ranges as determined by the Administrator. Payment, if any, with respect to a Cash-Based Award shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award and may be made in cash.

SECTION 11. <u>DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Dividend Equivalent Rights</u>. The Administrator may grant Dividend Equivalent Rights under the Plan. A Dividend Equivalent Right is an Award entitling the grantee to receive credits based on cash dividends that would have been paid on the shares of Stock specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other Award to which it relates) if such shares had been issued to the grantee. A Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any grantee as a component of an Award of Restricted Stock Units or as a freestanding Award. The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the Award Certificate. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of Stock, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents. Any such reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value on the date of reinvestment or such other price as may then apply under a dividend reinvestment plan sponsored by the Company, if any. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or shares of Stock or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of an Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be settled only upon settlement or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other Award, and such Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Termination</u>. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 16 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee's rights in all Dividend Equivalent Rights shall automatically terminate upon the termination of the grantee's Service Relationship for any reason.

SECTION 12. <u>TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Transferability</u>. Except as provided in Section 12(b) below, during a grantee's lifetime, such grantee's Awards shall be exercisable only by the grantee, or by the grantee's legal representative or guardian in the event of the grantee's incapacity. No Awards shall be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by a grantee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order. No Awards shall be subject, in whole or in part, to attachment, execution or levy of any kind, and any purported transfer in violation hereof shall be null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Administrator Action</u>. Notwithstanding Section 12(a), the Administrator, in its discretion, may provide either in the Award Certificate regarding a given Award or by subsequent written approval that the grantee (who is an employee or director) may transfer such grantee's Non-Qualified Stock Options to such grantee's immediate family members, to trusts for the benefit of such family members or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Award. In no event may an Award be transferred by a grantee for value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Family Member</u>. For purposes of Section 12(b), "family member" means a grantee's child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the grantee's household (other than a tenant of the grantee), a trust in which these persons (or the grantee) have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the grantee) control the management of assets and any other entity in which these persons (or the grantee) own more than 50% of the voting interests.

SECTION 13. <u>TAX WITHHOLDING</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Payment by Grantee</u>. Each grantee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amount received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the grantee for income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any federal, state or local taxes, and non-U.S. or other taxes, of any kind required by law to be withheld by the Company or its Affiliates with respect to such income. The Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee or to satisfy any applicable

------

withholding obligations by any other method of withholding that the Company or its Affiliates deem appropriate. The Company's obligation to deliver evidence of book entry (or stock certificates) to any grantee is subject to and conditioned on tax withholding obligations being satisfied by the grantee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Payment in Stock</u>. The Administrator may require the Company's or Affiliate's tax withholding obligation to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by the Company withholding from shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to any Award a number of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due; provided, however, that the amount withheld does not exceed the maximum statutory tax rate or such lesser amount as is necessary to avoid liability accounting treatment. For purposes of share withholding, the Fair Market Value of withheld shares shall be determined in the same manner as the value of Stock includible in income of the grantees. The Administrator may also require the Company's or Affiliate's tax withholding obligation to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by an arrangement whereby a certain number of shares of Stock issued pursuant to any Award are immediately sold and proceeds from such sale are remitted to the Company or Affiliate in an amount that would satisfy the withholding amount due.

SECTION 14. <u>SECTION 409A AWARDS</u>

Awards are intended to be exempt from Section 409A to the greatest extent possible and to otherwise comply with Section 409A. The Plan and all Awards shall be interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that any Award is determined to constitute "nonqualified deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A (a "*409A Award*"), the Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Administrator from time to time in order to comply with Section 409A. In this regard, if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a "separation from service" (within the meaning of Section 409A) to a grantee who is then considered a "specified employee" (within the meaning of Section 409A), then no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the grantee's separation from service or (ii) the grantee's death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. Further, the settlement of any 409A Award may not be accelerated except to the extent permitted by Section 409A. The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments or benefits described in the Plan will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to any such payment. The grantee shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Section 409A.

SECTION 15. <u>TERMINATION OF SERVICE RELATIONSHIP, TRANSFER, LEAVE OF ABSENCE, ETC.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Termination of Service Relationship</u>. If the grantee's Service Relationship is with an Affiliate and such Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate, the grantee shall be deemed to have terminated such grantee's Service Relationship for purposes of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a termination of a Service Relationship:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a transfer to the service of the Company from an Affiliate or from the Company to an Affiliate, or from one Affiliate to another; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company or its Affiliate, as the case may be, if the employee's right to re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Administrator otherwise so provides in writing; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the transfer in status from one eligibility category under Section 4 hereof to another category.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In the event a grantee's regular level of time commitment in the performance of such grantee's services for the Company and its Affiliates is reduced (including, without limitation, if the grantee has a change in status from a full-time employee to a part-time employee or transitions from an employee to a director or Consultant) or if the grantee takes an extended leave of absence, in either case, after the date of grant of any Award to the grantee, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by applicable law, (x) make a corresponding reduction in the number of shares subject to any portion of such Award that is scheduled to vest or

------

become payable after the date of such change in time commitment or status or during or after any such leave of absence and (y) in lieu of or in combination with such a reduction, extend the vesting or payment schedule applicable to such Award. In the event of any such reduction, the grantee will not have any rights with respect to any portion of the Award that is so reduced.

SECTION 16. <u>AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION</u>

The Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan and the Administrator may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall materially and adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the holder's consent. The Administrator is specifically authorized to exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or effect the repricing of such Awards through cancellation and re-grants or cancellation in exchange for cash or other Awards without stockholder approval. To the extent required under the rules of any securities exchange or market system on which the Stock is listed or to the extent determined by the Administrator to be required by the Code to ensure that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code, Plan amendments shall be subject to approval by Company stockholders. Nothing in this Section 16 shall limit the Administrator's authority to take any action permitted pursuant to Section 3(b) or 3(c).

SECTION 17. <u>STATUS OF PLAN</u>

With respect to the portion of any Award that has not been exercised or settled and any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a grantee, a grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Administrator otherwise expressly determines in connection with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Administrator may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Company's obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder, provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the foregoing sentence.

SECTION 18. <u>GENERAL PROVISIONS</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>No Distribution</u>. The Administrator may require each person acquiring Stock pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Issuance of Stock</u>. To the extent certificated, stock certificates to grantees under this Plan shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company has mailed such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee's last known address on file with the Company or any Affiliate. Uncertificated Stock shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a Stock transfer agent of the Company has given to the grantee by electronic mail (with proof of receipt) or by United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee's last known address on file with the Company or any Affiliate, notice of issuance and recorded the issuance in its records (which may include electronic "book entry" records). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any evidence of book entry or certificates evidencing shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise or settlement of any Award, unless and until the Administrator has determined, with advice of counsel (to the extent the Administrator deems such advice necessary or advisable), that the issuance and delivery is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed, quoted or traded. Any Stock issued pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state or foreign jurisdiction securities or other laws, rules and quotation systems on which the Stock is listed, quoted or traded. The Administrator may place legends on any Stock certificate or notations on any book entry to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Administrator may require that an individual make such reasonable covenants, agreements and representations as the Administrator, in its discretion, deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations or requirements. The Administrator shall have the right to require any individual to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Administrator.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>No Fractional Shares</u>. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Administrator shall determine whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional shares, or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be cancelled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Stockholder Rights</u>. Until Stock is deemed delivered in accordance with Section 18(b), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights of a stockholder will exist with respect to shares of Stock to be issued in connection with an Award, notwithstanding the exercise of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right or any other action by the grantee with respect to an Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Other Compensation Arrangements; No Rights to Continued Service Relationship</u>. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, including trusts, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of this Plan and the grant of Awards do not confer upon any grantee any right to continued employment or other Service Relationship with the Company or any Affiliate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Trading Policy Restrictions</u>. Awards under the Plan are subject to the Company's insider trading policies and procedures, as in effect from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Clawback Policy</u>. A grantee's rights with respect to any Award hereunder shall in all events be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with (i) any right that the Company may have under any Company clawback, forfeiture or recoupment policy as in effect from time to time or other agreement or arrangement with a grantee or (ii) applicable law.

SECTION 19. <u>EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN</u>

This Plan shall become effective upon the date immediately preceding the Closing, subject to prior stockholder approval in accordance with applicable state law, the Company's bylaws and articles of incorporation and applicable stock exchange rules. No grants of Awards may be made hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date and no grants of Incentive Stock Options may be made hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the date the Plan is approved by the Board.

SECTION 20. <u>GOVERNING LAW</u>

This Plan and all Awards and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California applied without regard to conflict of law principles.

#### Annex K
*Agreed Form* 

#### FREENOME, INC.

#### 2026 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The purpose of the Freenome, Inc. 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "*Plan*") is to provide eligible employees of Freenome, Inc. (the "*Company*") and each Designated Company (as defined in Section 11) with opportunities to purchase shares of Stock (as defined in Section 11). An aggregate of [•] shares of Stock have been approved and reserved for this purpose plus, on January 1, 2027 and each January 1 thereafter through January 1, 2036, the number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be cumulatively increased by the least of (i) 1% of the number of Outstanding Shares on the immediately preceding December 31st, (ii) 1,500,000 shares of Stock, or (iii) such number of shares of Stock as determined by the Administrator.

The Plan includes two components: a Code Section 423 Component (the "*423 Component*") and a non-Code Section 423 Component (the "*Non-423 Component*"). It is intended for the 423 Component to constitute an "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "*Code*"), and the 423 Component shall be interpreted in accordance with that intent (although the Company makes no undertaking or representation to maintain such qualification). In addition, this Plan authorizes the grant of Options (as defined in Section 8) under the Non-423 Component, which does not qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Code, and such Options granted under the Non-423 Component shall be granted pursuant to separate Offerings (as defined in Section 2) containing such sub-plans, appendices, rules or procedures as may be adopted by the Administrator (as defined in Section 1) and designed to achieve tax, securities laws or other objectives for eligible employees and the Designated Companies in locations outside of the United States. Except as otherwise provided herein or by the Administrator, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component.

For purposes of this Plan, the Administrator may designate separate Offerings under the Plan, the terms of which need not be identical, in which eligible employees will participate, even if the dates of the applicable Offerings are identical, provided that the terms of participation are the same within each separate Offering under the 423 Component as determined under Section 423 of the Code. Solely by way of example and without limiting the foregoing, the Company could, but is not required to, provide for simultaneous Offerings under the Section 423 Component and the Non-423 Component of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Administration</u>. The Plan will be administered by the person or persons (the "*Administrator*") appointed by the Company's Board of Directors (the "*Board*") for such purpose. The Administrator has authority at any time to: (i) adopt, alter and repeal such rules, guidelines and practices for the administration of the Plan and for its own acts and proceedings as it deems advisable; (ii) interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan; (iii) determine when and how Options will be granted and the provisions and terms of each Offering and/or Purchase Period (which need not be identical); (iv) select Designated Companies; (v) impose a mandatory holding period pursuant to which Participants (as defined in Section 11) may not dispose of or transfer shares of Stock purchased under the Plan for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its discretion; (vi) make all determinations it deems advisable for the administration of the Plan; (vii) decide all disputes arising in connection with the Plan; and (viii) otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. Further, the Administrator may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures, provided that the adoption and implementation of any such rules and/or procedures would not cause the 423 Component to be in noncompliance with Section 423 of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling of participation elections, payroll deductions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of share certificates that vary with local requirements. All interpretations and decisions of the Administrator are binding on all persons, including the Company and the Participants. No member of the Board or individual exercising administrative authority with respect to the Plan will be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option granted hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Offerings</u>. The Company may make one or more offerings to eligible employees to purchase shares of Stock under the Plan ("*Offerings*"), consisting of one or more Purchase Periods. Each Offering will begin and end on the dates determined by the Administrator, provided that no Offering shall exceed 27 months in duration. Unless the

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise prior to an Offering Date (as defined in Section 3), and to the extent an Offering has more than one Purchase Period and to the extent permitted by applicable law, if the Fair Market Value of the Stock on any Exercise Date in an Offering is lower than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Offering Date, then all participants in such Offering will automatically be withdrawn from such Offering immediately after the exercise of their Options on such Exercise Date and automatically re-enrolled in the immediately following Offering as of the first day thereof and the preceding Offering will terminate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Eligibility</u>. All individuals classified as employees on the payroll records of the Company or a Designated Company as of the first day of the applicable Offering (the "*Offering Date*") are eligible to participate in such Offering under the Plan, provided that the Administrator may determine, in advance of any Offering, that employees are eligible only if, as of the Offering Date, (a) they are customarily employed by the Company or a Designated Company for more than (i) 20 hours a week or (ii) five months per calendar year, (b) they have completed such minimum period of service prior to the Offering Date as determined by the Administrator (provided such service requirement does not exceed two years of employment), and/or (c) they are not highly compensated employees (within the meaning of Section 414(q) of the Code). Notwithstanding any other provision herein, individuals who are not contemporaneously classified as employees of the Company or a Designated Company for purposes of the Company's or applicable Designated Company's payroll system are not considered to be eligible employees of the Company or any Designated Company and are not eligible to participate in the Plan. In the event any such individuals are reclassified as employees of the Company or a Designated Company for any purpose, including, without limitation, common law or statutory employees, by any action of any third party, including, without limitation, any government agency, or as a result of any private lawsuit, action or administrative proceeding, such individuals shall, notwithstanding such reclassification, remain ineligible for participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exclusive means for individuals who are not contemporaneously classified as employees of the Company or a Designated Company on the Company's or Designated Company's payroll system to become eligible to participate in this Plan is through an amendment or subplan to this Plan, duly executed by the Company, that specifically renders such individuals eligible to participate herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Participation</u>. An eligible employee who is not a Participant in any prior Offering may participate in a subsequent Offering by submitting an enrollment form to the Company or an agent designated by the Company in a manner determined by the Administrator (including, but not limited to, by electronic means) by the deadline established by the Administrator for the Offering. The enrollment form will (a) state a whole percentage (unless the Administrator determines in advance of an Offering to require that a fixed amount be specified in lieu of a percentage) to be contributed from an eligible employee's Compensation (as defined in Section 11) per pay period and (b) authorize the purchase of shares of Stock in each Offering in accordance with the terms of the Plan. An employee who does not enroll in accordance with these procedures will be deemed to have waived the right to participate. Unless a Participant files a new enrollment form, withdraws from the Plan or otherwise becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan, such Participant's payroll deductions and purchases will continue at the same percentage of Compensation for future Offerings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, participation in the Plan will neither be permitted nor be denied contrary to the requirements of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Employee Contributions</u>. Each eligible employee may authorize payroll deductions at a minimum of 1% up to a maximum of 15% of such employee's Compensation for each pay period or such other minimum or maximum as may be specified by the Administrator in advance of an Offering. The Company will maintain book accounts showing the amount of payroll deductions made by each Participant for each Purchase Period within an Offering. No interest will accrue or be paid on payroll deductions, unless required under applicable law.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in non-U.S. jurisdictions where participation in the Plan through payroll deductions is prohibited or otherwise problematic under applicable law (as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion), the Administrator may provide that an eligible employee may elect to participate through other contributions in a form acceptable to the Administrator in lieu of or in addition to payroll deductions; provided, however, that, for any Offering under the 423 Component, any alternative method of contribution must be applied on an equal and uniform basis to all eligible employees in the Offering. Any reference to "payroll deductions" in this Section 5 (or in any other section of the Plan) will similarly cover contributions by other means made pursuant to this Section 5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Contribution Changes</u>. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, except in the case of withdrawal as described in Section 7, a Participant may not increase or decrease such Participant's payroll deductions during any Offering, but may increase or decrease such Participant's payroll deductions with respect to the next Offering (subject

------

to the limitations of Section 5) by filing a new enrollment form by the deadline established by the Administrator for the Offering. The Administrator may, in advance of any Offering, establish rules permitting a Participant to increase, decrease or terminate such Participant's payroll deductions during an Offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Withdrawal</u>. A Participant may withdraw from participation in the Plan by giving written notice to the Company or an agent designated by the Company in a form acceptable to the Administrator (including, but not limited to, by electronic means) no later than two weeks prior to the end of the then-applicable Offering (or such shorter or longer period as may be specified by the Administrator prior to any Offering). The Participant's withdrawal will be effective as soon as practicable following receipt of written notice of withdrawal by the Company or an agent designated by the Company. Following a Participant's withdrawal, the Company will promptly refund such Participant's entire account balance under the Plan to such Participant (after payment for any shares of Stock purchased before the effective date of withdrawal). Partial withdrawals are not permitted. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, a Participant may not begin participation again in any Offering from which such Participant has withdrawn, but may enroll in a subsequent Offering in accordance with Section 4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Grant of Options</u>. On each Offering Date, the Company will grant to each eligible employee who is then a Participant in the Plan an option ("*Option*") to purchase on the last day of a Purchase Period (an "*Exercise Date*") the lowest of (a) a number of shares of Stock determined by dividing such Participant's accumulated payroll deductions on such Exercise Date by the Option Price (as defined below), (b) the number of shares of Stock determined by dividing $25,000 by the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Offering Date for such Offering or (c) such other number of shares of Stock determined by the Administrator in advance of the Offering; provided, however, that such Option shall be subject to the limitations set forth below. Each Participant's Option shall be exercisable only to the extent of such Participant's accumulated payroll deductions on the Exercise Date. The purchase price for each share of Stock purchased under each Option (the "*Option Price*") will be 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Offering Date or the Exercise Date, whichever is less.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Participant may be granted an Option hereunder if such Participant, immediately after the Option was granted, would be treated as owning stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary (each as defined in Section 11). For purposes of the preceding sentence, the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code will apply in determining the stock ownership of a Participant, and all stock that the Participant has a contractual right to purchase will be treated as stock owned by the Participant. In addition, no Participant may be granted an Option that permits such Participant rights to purchase Stock under the Plan, and any other employee stock purchase plan of the Company and its Parents and Subsidiaries, to accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of such stock (determined on the Option grant date or dates) for each calendar year in which the Option is outstanding at any time. The purpose of the limitation in the preceding sentence is to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and shall be applied taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Exercise of Option and Purchase of Shares</u>. Each employee who continues to be a Participant in the Plan on the Exercise Date shall be deemed to have exercised such Participant's Option on such date and shall acquire from the Company such number of whole shares of Stock as such Participant's accumulated payroll deductions on such date will purchase at the Option Price, subject to any other limitations contained in the Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in advance of any Offering, any balance remaining in a Participant's account at the end of a Purchase Period or Offering will be promptly refunded to the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Delivery of Shares</u>. As soon as practicable after each Exercise Date, the Company will arrange for the delivery to each Participant of the shares of Stock acquired by the Participant on such Exercise Date; provided that the Company may deliver such shares to a broker that holds such shares in street name for the benefit of the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Definitions</u>. The following terms shall be defined as set forth below:

"*Affiliate*" means any entity that is directly or indirectly controlled by the Company that does not meet the definition of a Subsidiary below, as determined by the Administrator, whether now or hereafter existing.

"*Compensation*" means the regular or basic rate of compensation. The Administrator shall have the discretion to determine the application of this definition to Participants outside of the United States.

"*Designated Company*" means each Affiliate and Subsidiary that has been designated by the Administrator from time to time, in its sole discretion, as eligible to participate in the Plan, such designation to specify whether such participation is in the 423 Component or Non-423 Component. A Designated Company may participate in

------

either the 423 Component or Non-423 Component, but not both. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Affiliate or Subsidiary is disregarded for U.S. tax purposes in respect of the Company or any Designated Company participating in the 423 Component, then such disregarded Affiliate or Subsidiary shall automatically be a Designated Company participating in the 423 Component. If any Affiliate or Subsidiary is disregarded for U.S. tax purposes in respect of any Designated Company participating in the Non-423 Component, the Administrator may exclude such Affiliate or Subsidiary from participating in the Plan, notwithstanding that the Designated Company in respect of which such Affiliate or Subsidiary is disregarded may participate in the Plan. The Administrator may so designate any Affiliate or Subsidiary, or revoke any such designation, at any time and from time to time, either before or after the Plan is approved by the Company's stockholders.

"*Effective Date*" means the date immediately preceding the closing of the transactions contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of December 5, 2025 by and among Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp, StarNet Merger Sub I, Corp., StarNet Merger Sub II, LLC, and Freenome Holdings, Inc.

"*Fair Market Value"* of the Stock on any given date means the fair market value of the Stock determined in good faith by the Administrator; provided, however, that if the Stock is listed on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System ("*NASDAQ*"), NASDAQ Global Market, The New York Stock Exchange or another national securities exchange or traded on any established market, the determination shall be made by reference to the closing price on such date. If there is no closing price for such date, the determination shall be made by reference to the last date preceding such date for which there is a closing price.

"*New Exercise Date*" means a new Exercise Date if the Administrator shortens any Offering then in progress.

"*Outstanding Shares*" means, as of a specified date, the sum of (a) number of shares of Stock issued and outstanding and (b) the number of shares of Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of any outstanding, pre-funded warrants to acquire shares of Stock for a nominal exercise price.

"*Parent*" means a "parent corporation" with respect to the Company, as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code.

"*Participant*" means an individual who is eligible, as determined pursuant to Section 3, and who has complied with the provisions of Section 4.

"*Purchase Period*" means a period of time specified within an Offering, as determined by the Administrator in accordance with Section 2.

"*Sale Event*" means (i) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis to an unrelated person or entity, (ii) a merger, reorganization or consolidation pursuant to which the holders of the Company's outstanding voting power and outstanding stock immediately prior to such transaction do not own a majority of the outstanding voting power and outstanding stock or other equity interests of the resulting or successor entity (or its ultimate parent, if applicable) immediately upon completion of such transaction, (iii) the sale of all of the Stock of the Company to an unrelated person, entity or group acting in concert, (iv) any other transaction in which the owners of the Company's outstanding voting power immediately prior to such transaction do not own at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Company or any successor entity immediately upon completion of the transaction other than as a result of the acquisition of securities directly from the Company or (v) the approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

"*Stock*" means the Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company, subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 17.

"*Subsidiary*" means a "subsidiary corporation" with respect to the Company, as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Rights on Termination of Employment</u>. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, if a Participant's employment terminates for any reason before the Exercise Date for any Offering, such Participant's participation in the Plan will terminate immediately and no payroll deductions will be taken from any pay due and owing to the Participant on or after the termination date. The balance in the Participant's account will be paid to such Participant or, in the case of such Participant's death, to the Participant's legal heirs. An employee will be deemed to have terminated employment, for this purpose, if the corporation that employs such employee, having been a Designated Company, ceases to be an Affiliate or a Subsidiary, or if the employee is transferred to any corporation other than the Company or a Designated Company. An employee will not be deemed to have terminated employment for this purpose, if the

employee is on an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employee's right to reemployment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Administrator otherwise provides in writing.

If a Participant transfers employment from the Company or any Designated Company participating in the 423 Component to any Designated Company participating in the Non-423 Component, such transfer will not be treated as a termination of employment, but the Participant will immediately cease to participate in the 423 Component; however, any contributions made for the Offering in which such transfer occurs will be transferred to the Non-423 Component, and such Participant will immediately join the then-current Offering under the Non-423 Component upon the same terms and conditions in effect for the Participant's participation in the 423 Component, except for such modifications otherwise applicable for Participants in such Offering. A Participant who transfers employment from any Designated Company participating in the Non-423 Component to the Company or any Designated Company participating in the 423 Component will not be treated as terminating the Participant's employment and will remain a Participant in the Non-423 Component until the earlier of (i) the end of the current Offering under the Non-423 Component or (ii) the Offering Date of the first Offering in which the Participant is eligible to participate following such transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may establish different rules to govern transfers of employment between companies participating in the 423 Component and the Non-423 Component, consistent with the applicable requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Special Rules and Sub-Plans</u>. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrator may adopt special rules or sub-plans applicable to the employees of a particular Designated Company whenever the Administrator determines that such rules are necessary or appropriate for the implementation of the Plan in a jurisdiction where such Designated Company has employees, regarding, without limitation, eligibility to participate in the Plan, handling and making of payroll deductions by other means, establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold payroll deductions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, obligation to pay payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of share issuances, any of which may vary according to applicable requirements; provided that if such special rules or sub-plans are inconsistent with the requirements of Section 423(b) of the Code, the employees subject to such special rules or sub-plans will participate in the Non-423 Component.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. <u>Optionees Not Stockholders</u>. Neither the granting of an Option to a Participant nor the deductions from a Participant's pay or other contributions will result in such Participant becoming a holder of the shares of Stock covered by an Option under the Plan until such shares of Stock have been purchased by and issued to the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. <u>Rights Not Transferable</u>. Rights under the Plan are not transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and are exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. <u>Application of Funds</u>. All funds received or held by the Company under the Plan may be combined with other corporate funds and may be used for any corporate purpose, unless otherwise required under applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. <u>Adjustment in Case of Changes Affecting Stock</u>. In the event of a subdivision of Outstanding Shares, the payment of a dividend in Stock or any other change affecting the Stock, the number of shares approved for the Plan and any other share limitations in the Plan shall be equitably or proportionately adjusted to give proper effect to such event. In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event, the Administrator, in its discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any right under the Plan or to facilitate such transactions or events:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) To provide for either (i) termination of any outstanding Option in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been obtained upon the exercise of such Option had such Option been currently exercisable or (ii) the replacement of such outstanding Option with other options or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) To provide that the outstanding Options under the Plan will be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or will be substituted for similar options covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Options under the Plan and/or in the terms and conditions of outstanding Options and Options that may be granted in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) To provide that the Offering with respect to which an Option relates will be shortened by setting a New Exercise Date on which such Offering will end. The New Exercise Date will occur before the date of the Sale Event. The Administrator will notify each Participant in writing or electronically prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant's Option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant's Option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering in advance of the New Exercise Date as provided in Section 7 hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) To provide that all outstanding Options shall terminate without being exercised and all amounts in the accounts of Participants shall be promptly refunded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. <u>Section 409A</u>. The 423 Component of the Plan and the Options granted pursuant to Offerings thereunder are intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code. Neither the Non-423 Component nor any Option granted pursuant to an Offering thereunder is intended to constitute or provide for "nonqualified deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Administrator determines that any Option granted under the Plan is or may be or become subject to Section 409A of the Code or that any provision of the Plan may cause an Option granted under the Plan to be or become subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and/or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A of the Code. The Company makes no representation that the Options granted pursuant to the Plan will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to any such Option. Participants will be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. <u>Amendment of the Plan</u>. The Board may at any time and from time to time amend the Plan in any respect, except that without the approval within 12 months of such Board action by the stockholders, no amendment may be made increasing the number of shares of Stock approved for issuance under the Plan or making any other change that would require stockholder approval in order for the 423 Component of the Plan, as amended, to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423(b) of the Code, as determined by the Administrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. <u>Insufficient Shares</u>. If the total number of shares of Stock that would otherwise be purchased on any Exercise Date plus the number of shares of Stock purchased under previous Offerings under the Plan exceeds the maximum number of shares of Stock issuable under the Plan, the shares then available shall be apportioned among Participants in proportion to the amount of payroll deductions accumulated on behalf of each Participant that would otherwise be used to purchase shares of Stock on such Exercise Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. <u>Termination of the Plan</u>. The Plan may be terminated at any time by the Board. Upon termination of the Plan, all amounts in the accounts of Participants shall be promptly refunded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. <u>Governmental Regulations</u>. The Company's obligation to sell and deliver shares of Stock under the Plan is subject to obtaining all governmental approvals required in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale of such Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23. <u>Governing Law</u>. This Plan and all Options and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24. <u>Issuance of Shares</u>. Shares may be issued upon exercise of an Option from authorized but unissued Stock, from shares held in the treasury of the Company or from any other proper source.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25. <u>Tax Withholding</u>. Participation in the Plan is subject to any applicable U.S. and non-U.S. federal, state or local tax withholding requirements on income the Participant realizes in connection with the Plan. Each Participant agrees, by entering the Plan, that the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from a Participant's wages, salary or other compensation at any time the amount necessary for the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make

------

available to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate any tax deductions or benefits attributable to the sale or disposition of Stock by such Participant. In addition, the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the proceeds of the sale of Stock or use any other method of withholding that the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate deems appropriate to the extent permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(f) with respect to the 423 Component. The Company will not be required to issue any shares of Stock under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26. <u>Notification Upon Sale of Shares Under the 423 Component</u>. Each Participant who is subject to tax in the United States and participates in the 423 Component agrees, by entering the Plan, to give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of shares of Stock purchased under the Plan where such disposition occurs within two years after the date of grant of the Option pursuant to which such shares were purchased or within one year after the date such shares were purchased.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;27. <u>Effective Date</u>. This Plan will become effective on the Effective Date, subject to prior stockholder approval in accordance with applicable state law, the Company's bylaws and articles of incorporation and applicable stock exchange rules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;28. <u>Equal Rights and Privileges</u>. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary and in accordance with Section 423 of the Code, all eligible employees who are granted Options under the 423 Component shall have the same rights and privileges.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;29. <u>No Right to Continued Service</u>. None of the Plan, participation in any Offering, or any compensation paid hereunder will confer on any Participant the right to continue as an employee or in any other capacity.

51 Astor Place, 10<sup>th</sup> Floor

New York, NY 10003

To the Special Committee of the Board of Directors:

As per our engagement letter dated September 29, 2025, the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp ("**PCSC**") retained Scalar, LLC (herein referred to as "**Scalar**," "**we**", "**our**", or "**us**") to provide an opinion (this "**Opinion**") as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to (1) the holders of PCSC's Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (such shares, at all times prior to the Effective Time, the "**PCSC Class A Shares**", and such holders, the "**PCSC Class A Shareholders**") (other than (i) Freenome Holdings, Inc. (the "**Company**"), (ii) Perceptive Capital Solutions Holdings (the "**Sponsor**"), (iii) the Key Supporting Company Shareholders, (iv) holders of PCSC Class A Shares who elect to redeem their shares prior to or in connection with the Transaction, and (v) the PIPE Investors, (collectively, along with their respective affiliates, the "**Excluded Parties**")) of the Consideration (as defined below) to be delivered to the Company Shareholders in the proposed business combination with the Company pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement described below (the "**Transaction**"), without giving effect to any impact of the Transaction on any particular PCSC Class A Shareholder other than in its capacity as a PCSC Class A Shareholder, and (2) PCSC.

#### Overview of the Transaction:
The Business Combination Agreement (the "**Agreement**"), to be entered into among PCSC, Starnet Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCSC ("**Merger Sub I**"), Starnet Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCSC ("**Merger Sub II**", and together with Merger Sub I, the "**Merger Subs**") and the Company sets forth the terms of the Transaction. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Opinion have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement. We understand that the Agreement provides, among other things, that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Immediately prior to the Domestication, PCSC Class A Shares held by the PCSC Class A Shareholders who duly elect to exercise the right of the holders of PCSC Class A Shares to redeem all or a portion of their PCSC Class A Shares as set forth in the Governing Documents of PCSC (the "**PCSC Shareholder Redemption**") will have their PCSC Class A Shares redeemed and canceled and such PCSC Class A Shareholders will cease to have any rights as shareholders of PCSC other than the right to be paid their pro rata share of the Trust Account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) At least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, prior to the time at which the Effective Time occurs, PCSC shall transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with the DGCL (the "**Domestication** ");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) On the Closing Date, following the Domestication, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub I will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the "**First Merger**") and, after giving effect to the First Merger, each Company Share will be automatically canceled and extinguished and will be automatically converted, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive a number of PCSC Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement (collectively, the total number of PCSC shares of common stock to be issued for the Company Shares is the "**Consideration** ");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) On the Closing Date, as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, at the Second Effective Time, the surviving corporation of the First Merger will merge with and into Merger Sub II with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving corporation (the "**Second Merger**" and together with the First Merger, the "**Mergers** ");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Concurrently with the execution of the Agreement, the PIPE Investors are each entering into the Investor Subscription Agreements, pursuant to which, among other things, each PIPE Investor has agreed to subscribe for and purchase on the Closing Date, and PCSC has agreed to issue and sell to the each PIPE Investor on the Closing Date immediately following the Closing, the number of PCSC Shares set forth in the applicable Investor Subscription Agreement in exchange for the purchase price set forth therein (the financing under all PIPE Subscription Agreements, collectively, the "**PIPE Financing** "), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable Investor Subscription Agreement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Concurrently with the execution of the Agreement, the Sponsor, the Other Class B Holders, PCSC, and the Company are entering into the Sponsor Letter Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor and each Other Class B Shareholder has agreed to (i) vote in favor of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (including the Mergers), and (ii) waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the Governing Documents of PCSC or any other anti-dilution or similar protection, in each case, with respect to the PCSC Class B Shares, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations, and considered such other information, as we deemed necessary or appropriate.

#### Limiting Conditions and Assumptions:
In performing our analyses and rendering this Opinion, with your consent, we have relied upon and assumed, without assuming liability or responsibility for independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all information and data that was publicly available or was furnished, or otherwise made available to us or discussed with or reviewed by us. We have further relied upon the assurances of the management of PCSC that the financial information provided has been prepared on a reasonable basis in accordance with industry practice, and that they are not aware of any information, facts or circumstances that would make any information provided to us inaccurate, incomplete or misleading in any

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
respect. We also have been advised by PCSC's senior management, and we have assumed, that the prospective information, including, but not limited to, projections for the timely receipt of governmental, regulatory and other third-party approvals, represent a reasonable basis upon which to evaluate the future business and financial prospects of the Company. We have relied upon the assessments of the management of PCSC and the Company as to, among other things, the potential impact on the Company and PCSC of market, competitive, seasonal, macroeconomic, geopolitical and other conditions, trends and developments in and prospects for, and governmental, regulatory and legislative matters relating to or affecting, the industry in which the Company operates and the geographic regions and local communities in which the Company operates.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for the purpose of this Opinion, we have relied upon, with your consent, (a) the assumptions of the management of the Company and PCSC and third-party data sources, as to all accounting, legal, tax and financial reporting matters with respect to the Company and (b) that PCSC has been advised by counsel as to all legal matters with respect to the Transaction, including whether all procedures required by law in connection with the Transaction have been duly, validly and timely taken. We have also assumed that the Transaction will have the tax consequences described in discussions with, and materials furnished to us by, representatives of PCSC and that (i) the Domestication qualifies as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, (ii) the Mergers, taken together, will be treated as an integrated transaction that qualifies as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, and (iii) the Mergers and the PIPE Financing, taken together, will be treated as an integrated transaction qualifying under Section 351(a) of the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

We are not legal, accounting, regulatory or tax experts and this Opinion does not address any legal, regulatory, taxation or accounting matters as to which we understand that you have obtained such advice as you deemed necessary from qualified professionals, and we have assumed the accuracy and veracity of all assessments made by such advisors to the Company or PCSC with respect to such matters.

In arriving at our Opinion, with your consent and without independent verification, we have relied upon the assumption that, except as would not be in any way meaningful to our analysis: (a) the final form of each of the Reviewed Transaction Documents, as executed by the parties thereto, will not differ from the drafts that we have reviewed, (b) the representations and warranties of all parties to the Agreement, and any related Transaction documents, are correct and that such parties will comply with and perform all covenants and agreements required to be complied with or performed by such parties under the Agreement and any related Transaction documents, (c) the Transaction will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and related Transaction documents, without any waiver or amendment of any term or condition thereof, and (d) there has been no material change in the assets, financial condition, business or prospects of any party to the Agreement since the date of the most recent financial statements and other information made available to us. Additionally, we have assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other third-party approvals and consents necessary for the consummation of the Transaction or otherwise contemplated by the Agreement will be obtained without delay, limitation, restriction or condition and otherwise in a way that will not have any adverse effect on the Company or PCSC, or on the expected benefits of the Transaction, in any way meaningful to our analysis.

In addition, we have relied upon (without independent verification and without expressing any view, opinion, representation, guaranty or warranty (in each case, express or implied)) the assessments, judgments and estimates of PCSC's senior management and the Company's senior management as to, among other things, (a) the potential impact on the Company of market, competitive and other trends in and prospects for, and governmental, regulatory and legislative matters relating to or affecting, the industry in which the Company operates and related industries, (b) the Company's existing and future products, services, technology and intellectual property and the associated risks thereto (including, without limitation, the probabilities and timing of successful development and marketing thereof; the timing of successful regulatory approvals and clearances; compliance with relevant regulatory requirements; and the potential impact of competition thereon) and (c) PCSC's and the Company's existing and future relationships, agreements and arrangements with, and the ability to attract, retain and/or replace, key employees, suppliers and other commercial relationships (in each such case to the extent relevant to the Company, the Transaction and its contemplated benefits). We have assumed that there will not be any developments with respect to any of the foregoing matters that would have an adverse effect on PCSC, the Company or the Transaction (including the contemplated benefits thereof) or that otherwise would be meaningful in any respect to our analyses or opinion.

Given PCSC's nature as a special purpose acquisition company, for purposes of our Opinion and with PCSC's consent, we have assumed a value of $10.61 per PCSC Share in calculating the value of the PCSC Shares to be issued as the Consideration under the Agreement, with such $10.61 per share value being based on (a) $91,550,673.98, which is the

------

value of the assets held in PCSC's Trust Account as of November 30, 2025, *divided* by (b) 8,625,000, which is the number of outstanding PCSC Class A Shares subject to redemption as of October 31, 2025. In rendering our Opinion, we do not express any view or opinion as to what the value of any PCSC Shares will be when issued pursuant to the Transaction or the price or range of prices at which any PCSC Class A Shares, PCSC Class B Shares or other securities or financial instruments of or relating to PCSC may trade or otherwise be transferable at any time before or after announcement or consummation of the Transaction. Additionally, we express no opinion with respect to the PCSC Class B Shares and PCSC Preference Shares.

In arriving at our Opinion, we have not performed any appraisals or valuations of any specific assets or liabilities (fixed, contingent or other) of the Company or PCSC and have not been furnished or provided with any such appraisals or valuations, nor have we evaluated the solvency of the Company or PCSC under any state or federal law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. The analyses performed by us in connection with this Opinion were going concern analyses, assuming the Transaction was consummated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we have undertaken no independent analysis of any pending or threatened litigation, regulatory action, possible unasserted claims or other contingent liabilities, to which the Company or PCSC is a party or may be subject, and at your direction and with your consent, our Opinion makes no assumption concerning, and therefore does not consider, the possible assertion of claims, outcomes, liabilities or damages arising out of any such matters.

This Opinion is necessarily based upon financial, economic, monetary, market and other conditions and circumstances as in effect on, the information available to us as of, and the facts and circumstances as they exist on, the date hereof and our Opinion speaks only as of the date hereof; events occurring after the date hereof could materially affect the assumptions used in preparing this Opinion. We have not undertaken to update, reaffirm or revise this Opinion or otherwise comment upon any events occurring after the date hereof, material information provided to us after the date hereof or any change in facts or circumstances occurring after the date hereof and do not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this Opinion.

We have been engaged by the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of PCSC to provide a fairness opinion, and we will receive a fee from PCSC for providing our services and rendering this Opinion. No portion of this fee is refundable or contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction or the conclusion reached in this Opinion. PCSC has also agreed to indemnify us against certain liabilities and reimburse us for certain expenses in connection with our services. In the past two years, we and our affiliates have provided other advisory services, including a fairness opinion, to an affiliate of PCSC for which we and our affiliates received compensation. We and our affiliates may seek to provide services to the Company, PCSC and their respective affiliates in the future and expect to receive fees for the rendering of these services. In the ordinary course of business, certain of our employees and affiliates, or entities in which they have invested, may hold or trade, for their own accounts and the accounts of their investors, securities of the Company and PCSC and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

The issuance of this Opinion was approved by an authorized committee of Scalar.

This Opinion is provided for the information and assistance of the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of PCSC (in its capacity as such) in connection with, and for the purpose of, its evaluation of the Transaction, and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote or act (including with respect to any redemption rights) with respect to the Transaction or any other matter. This Opinion shall not be disclosed, referred to, published or otherwise used (in whole or in part), nor shall any public references to us or this Opinion be made without Scalar's prior written approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Opinion in its entirety may be included in any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("**SEC**") made by PCSC in connection with the Transaction, and a summary of Scalar's work may be included in any filing with the SEC made by PCSC in connection with the Transaction subject to Scalar's prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Our Opinion does not address PCSC's underlying business decision to engage in the Transaction, the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to other business or investment strategies or transactions that might be available to PCSC or whether the Consideration to be delivered to the Company Shareholders pursuant to the Agreement represents the best price obtainable. In connection with our engagement, we were not requested to, and did not, solicit interest from other parties with respect to an acquisition of, or other business combination with, PCSC or any other alternative transaction. This Opinion addresses only the fairness from a financial point of view, as of the date hereof, to the PCSC Class A Shareholders (other than the Excluded Parties) of the Consideration to be delivered to the Company

Shareholders pursuant to the Agreement. We have not been asked to, nor do we, offer any opinion as to the terms, other than the Consideration to the extent expressly specified herein, of the Agreement or the Ancillary Documents or the form of the Transaction or any related transaction (including any agreement or transaction between any Excluded Party and the Company or PCSC), including the fairness of the Transaction to, or any consideration received in connection therewith by, any Excluded Parties, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of PCSC, the Company or any of their respective affiliates. We have not been asked to, nor do we, offer any opinion with respect to any ongoing obligations of the Company, PCSC or any of their respective affiliates (including any obligations with respect to governance, appraisal rights, preemptive rights, registration rights, voting rights or otherwise) contained in any Ancillary Documents or any other agreement related to the Transaction or under applicable law, any allocation of the Consideration (or any portion thereof) or the fair market value of the Company, PCSC, any PCSC Shares or the Company Shares. In addition, we express no opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be received by any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Transaction, any Excluded Parties or any class of such persons, whether relative to the Consideration or otherwise. Our Opinion (a) does not address the individual circumstances of specific holders of PCSC securities (including PCSC Class B Shares and PCSC Preference Shares) with respect to rights or aspects which may distinguish such holders or PCSC securities (including PCSC Class B Shares and PCSC Preference Shares) held by such holders, (b) does not address, take into consideration or give effect to any existing or future rights, preferences, restrictions or limitations or other attributes of any such securities (including PCSC Class B Shares and PCSC Preference Shares) or holders (including the Sponsor), (c) does not address any impact of the Transaction on any particular PCSC Class A Shareholder, other than in its capacity as a PCSC Class A Shareholder, and (d) does not in any way address proportionate allocation or relative fairness (including, without limitation, the allocation of any consideration among or within any classes or groups of security holders or other constituents of PCSC or any other party). We also do not address, or express a view with respect to, any acquisition of control or effective control of PCSC by any shareholder or group of shareholders of the Company. This letter should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty of Scalar (or any of its affiliates) to any other party. To the extent any of the foregoing assumptions or any of the facts on which this Opinion is based prove to be untrue in any material respect, this Opinion cannot and should not be relied upon.

**Based upon and subject to the foregoing, including the various assumptions and limitations set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Consideration to be delivered to the Company Shareholders pursuant to the Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to (1) the PCSC Class A Shareholders (other than the Excluded Parties); and (2) PCSC.**

---

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, actual fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect. We may purchase a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

Our officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the trust account, and have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be satisfied by us if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the trust account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

| **Item 22.**<br>| **Undertakings.**  |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial *bona fide* offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, if the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) That every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the undersigned pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the undersigned has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the undersigned of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the undersigned in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the undersigned will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the proxy statement/prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp

51 Astor Place, 10<sup>th</sup> Floor

New York, NY 10003

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("**PCSC**") in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of December 5, 2025 (as amended or modified from time to time, the "**Business Combination Agreement**"), by and among PCSC, StarNet Merger Sub I, Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of PCSC, StarNet Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of PCSC, and Freenome Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used herein has the meaning ascribed to it in the Registration Statement (defined below).

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, assuming the Domestication Proposal is approved, at least one day before the closing of the Mergers, PCSC will change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and domesticating and continuing as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "**Domestication**").

This opinion is being delivered in connection with the registration statement of PCSC on Form S-4, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as amended and supplemented through the date hereof (the "**Registration Statement**").

In preparing the opinion set forth below, we have examined and reviewed originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of: (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) the Business Combination Agreement; (iii) the representation letter of PCSC delivered to us for purposes of this opinion (the "**Representation Letter**") and (iv) such other documents, certificates and records as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for our opinion. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

In rendering our opinion, we have assumed, without any independent investigation or examination thereof, that (i) the Domestication will be consummated in the manner described in the Registration Statement and the Business Combination will be consummated in the manner described in the Registration Statement and the Business Combination Agreement, each will be effective under applicable law, and none of the terms or conditions contained in either the Registration Statement or the Business Combination Agreement will be waived or modified, (ii) the facts relating to (A) the Domestication are accurately and completely reflected in the Registration Statement and (B) the Business Combination are accurately and completely reflected in the Registration Statement and the Business Combination Agreement, (iii) any representations made in the Representation Letter are true, complete and correct and will remain true, complete and correct at all times up to and including the effective time of the Domestication, and (iv) any representations made in the Representation Letter subject to qualification relating to the knowledge, belief, expectation or intent of any party are true, complete and correct and will remain true, complete and correct at all times up to and including the effective time of the Domestication, in each case, without such qualification. Our opinion assumes and is expressly conditioned on, among other things, the initial and continuing accuracy of the facts, information, covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the documents referred to above.

------

Our opinion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "**Code**"), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service (the "**Service**"), and such other authorities as we have considered relevant, all as in effect on the date of this opinion and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. A change in the authorities upon which our opinion is based could affect the conclusions expressed herein. Moreover, there can be no assurance that positions contrary to our opinion will not be taken by the Service or, if challenged, by a court.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein and in the Registration Statement, we hereby confirm that, in our opinion, the Domestication should qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code.

This opinion is being delivered prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and the Domestication and therefore is prospective and dependent on future events. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof, and we are under no obligation to supplement or revise our opinion to reflect any legal developments, any factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof, or the impact of any information, document, certificate, record, statement, representation, covenant, or assumption relied upon herein that becomes incorrect or untrue.

Except as expressly set forth above, we express no other opinion. This opinion has been prepared solely in connection with the Registration Statement and may not be relied upon for any other purpose without our prior written consent. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 8.1 to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

<u>/s/ Stephanie Gentile</u>

| **Re:** | **Federal Tax Consequences Relating to (i) the Merger of StarNet Merger Sub I, Corp. with and into Freenome Holdings, Inc., and (ii) the Merger of Freenome Holdings, Inc. with and into StarNet Merger Sub II, LLC** |

---

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is delivered to you in our capacity as counsel to Freenome Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Company</u>"), in connection with (i) the merger of StarNet Merger Sub I, Corp., a Delaware corporation ("<u>Merger Sub I</u>") and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("<u>PCSC</u>"), with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation (the "<u>First Merger</u>"), and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, the merger of the Company with and into StarNet Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of PCSC ("<u>Merger Sub II</u>") with Merger Sub II being the surviving corporation (the "<u>Second</u> <u>Merger</u>" and together with the First Merger, the "<u>Mergers</u>"), in each case pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of December 5, 2025, by and among PCSC, Merger Sub I, Merger II and the Company (the "<u>Merger</u> <u>Agreement</u>"). This opinion relates to the qualification of the Mergers, taken together, as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "<u>Code</u>").

For purposes of the opinion set forth below, we have reviewed and relied upon the Merger Agreement, the Joint Proxy Statement of PCSC and the Company (the "Proxy <u>Statement</u>") included in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed by PCSC with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("<u>SEC</u>") in connection with the issuance of shares of PCSC Shares in connection with the Mergers (the "<u>Merger</u> Registration <u>Statement</u>"), and such other documents, records and instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for our opinion. In addition, in rendering our opinion we have relied upon certain statements, representations and warranties made by PCSC, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and the Company in (i) representation letters provided to us in connection with our preparation of this opinion, (ii) the Proxy Statement, and (iii) the Merger Agreement, which we have neither investigated nor verified. We have assumed that such statements, representations and warranties are true, correct, complete and not breached and will continue to be so through the date of the Mergers, that no actions that are inconsistent with such statements, representations and warranties will be taken, and that all representations, statements, and warranties made "to the best knowledge of" any person(s) or party(ies) or with similar qualification are and will be true, correct and complete as if made without such qualification.

Freenome Holdings, Inc.

April 28, 2026

We also have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authority and capacity of the individual or individuals who executed any such documents on behalf of any person, the conformity to the final documents of all documents submitted to us as drafts and the accuracy and completeness of all records made available to us. In addition, we have assumed that the Mergers will be consummated in accordance with the Merger Agreement, that each of the parties to the Merger Agreement will comply with all reporting obligations with respect to the Mergers required under the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and that the Merger Agreement is valid and binding in accordance with its terms.

Any inaccuracy in, or breach of, any of the aforementioned statements, representations, warranties and assumptions or any change after the date hereof in applicable law could adversely affect our opinion. No ruling has been or will be sought from the Internal Revenue Service by any party to the Merger Agreement as to the United States federal income tax consequences of any aspect of the Mergers.

\* \* \* \*

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, as well as the limitations set forth below, it is our opinion, under currently applicable United States federal income tax law, that the Mergers, taken together, should constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

\* \* \* \*

We express no opinion herein other than the opinion expressly set forth above. In particular, no opinion is expressed as to the tax consequences of any of the transactions under any foreign, state, or local tax law. We also express no opinion on the potential application of Section 4501 of Code (regarding the excise tax applicable to certain repurchases of corporate stock) to any portion of the Merger consideration. You should recognize that our opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service and that a court or the Internal Revenue Service may disagree with the opinion contained herein. Although we believe that our opinion should be sustained if challenged, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. The discussion and conclusions set forth above are based upon current provisions of the Code, the Income Tax Regulations and Procedure and Administration Regulations promulgated thereunder, and existing administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all of which are subject to change, potentially with retroactive effect. Changes in applicable law could adversely affect our opinion. We do not undertake to advise you as to any changes after the date hereof in applicable law that may affect our opinion.

**WHEREAS**, Exact possesses expertise in developing and commercializing diagnostic products;

**WHEREAS**, Freenome and Exact desire to expedite access to certain diagnostic and screening blood-based tests for colorectal cancer through a co-exclusive commercialization license for such tests prior to their regulatory approval in the United States, with the goal of expanding distribution of such tests as laboratory developed tests;

**WHEREAS**, the Parties wish for Exact to subsequently assume the exclusive right and responsibility to commercialize such diagnostic products in the United States following regulatory approval for such products, if and when obtained (which may occur as early as [\*\*\*]), on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

**WHEREAS**, if regulatory approval is not obtained for such products, the Parties may continue with their co-exclusive relationship in respect of laboratory developed tests, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 such control exists. For purposes of this Agreement, a Person will be deemed to control another Person if it owns or controls, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the equity securities of such other Person entitled to vote in
 the election of directors (or, in the case that such other Person is not a corporation, for the election of the corresponding managing authority), or otherwise has the power to direct the management and policies of such other Person, whether

 Party reasonably believes that a significant matter must be addressed prior to the next scheduled meeting, in which event such Party will work with the Alliance Managers to provide the members of the JSC, no later than [\*\*\*] Business Days prior
 to the special meeting, with an agenda for the meeting and materials reasonably adequate to enable an informed decision on the matters to be considered. The JSC may meet in person, by videoconference or by teleconference. In-person JSC meetings

 such meeting, and at all such meetings, a quorum will be reached if one (1) voting representative of each Party is present or participating in such meeting. The JSC will not have any power to amend, modify or waive compliance with this Agreement.
 The JSC has no other authority under this Agreement other than what is expressly granted under this Agreement. The JSC will work in good faith to promptly resolve any such matter for which it has authority. If the JSC is unable to reach consensus
 with respect to any such matter for which it is responsible within [\*\*\*] days after a Party affirmatively states to the other Party that a decision needs to be made, then such matter will be subject to Section 2.4 (Resolution of Subcommittee

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.7.1.** **Existing In-License Agreements**. Freenome will be solely responsible for all payments to any Third Party under any Existing Upstream Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.7.2.** **Additional Third Party IP**. If, during the Term, any Party reasonably determines that a license to any Patent Right or Know-How owned or controlled by a Third Party is necessary or reasonably useful to avoid
 infringement, misappropriation or other violation of such Patent Right (including any infringement that may arise from issuance of any patent from a patent application owned or controlled by such Third Party) or Know-How in connection with the
 Development, Manufacture, Commercialization or Exploitation of a Collaboration Product in the Field in the Territory, then such Party will notify the other in writing and, as between the Parties, Exact will have the first right, but not the
 obligation, to negotiate and obtain a license to such Patent Right or Know-How from such Third Party covering such uses in the Field in the Territory; *provided* that [\*\*\*]. If Exact notifies Freenome in writing that it does not intend to
 obtain a license to such Third Party Patent Right or Know-How to Develop, Manufacture, Commercialize or Exploit the Collaboration Product in the Field in the Territory, then Freenome will have the right to negotiate and obtain a license to such
 Third Party Patent Right or Know-How, *provided* that such Third Party Patent Right or Know-How, as applicable, will not be deemed "Controlled" by Freenome or its Affiliates for purposes of this Agreement and Exact will have no obligation
 to make any payments to Freenome or its Affiliates or to any Third Party in connection with such license.

**7.8.** **Right of First Negotiation**. During the Term of this Agreement, Exact will have a first right to exclusively negotiate with Freenome or any of its Affiliates for a Significant Transaction with respect to any

**8.1.** **Upfront Consideration**. In partial consideration of the rights and licenses granted hereunder, on the earlier of (a) [\*\*\*] and (b) the Antitrust Clearance Date, Exact will pay Freenome a non-refundable (except
 as otherwise set forth in this Section 8.1 (Upfront Consideration)), non-creditable, upfront payment of Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) (the "**Upfront Payment**") via wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with
 written wiring instructions to be provided in advance by Freenome to Exact ()"**Wire Instructions** "). In the event that Exact or Freenome has any right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.4 (Outside Date) following payment of
 the Upfront Payment, then, promptly (but no sooner than [\*\*\*] days) following Exact's election, (i) if Freenome has not undergone either a Change of Control or a Public Listing between the Effective Date and the date of Exact's election, then
 Freenome will issue to Exact a number of shares of Freenome's then senior-most series of preferred stock equal to Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) [\*\*\*], (ii) if Freenome has not undergone a Change of Control but has undergone a Public

 ($75,000,000) divided by the 10-Day VWAP, and (iii) if Freenome has undergone a Change of Control between the Effective Date and the date of Exact's election, then Freenome (or its successor entity or acquiror as applicable) will refund the
 Upfront Payment amount to Exact in cash. Any shares issued pursuant to the immediately prior sentence will be validly authorized and issued, and fully paid and nonassessable, upon issuance to Exact.

**8.2.** **Development Milestone Payments**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.2.1.** **General**. Subject to the remainder of this Section 8.2 (Development Milestone Payments), on and following the Antitrust Clearance Date, Exact will make one-time non-refundable, non-creditable development
 milestone payments (each such payment and the Alternative Development Milestone Payment, a "**Development Milestone Payment**") to Freenome upon the first achievement of each of the development milestone events set forth in Table 8.2.1
 (Development Milestone Payments) below (each such event, the Alternative Development Milestone Event and Second-Line USPSTF Milestone Event, a "**Development Milestone Event**") for achievement of the applicable Development Milestone Event; *provided* that Development Milestone Event #3 must occur on or prior to [\*\*\*], unless Freenome has failed to achieve clause (i) of Development Milestone Event #3 because [\*\*\*]. A Party will notify the JSC in writing of the achievement of a Development
 Milestone Event by such Party or its Affiliates no later than [\*\*\*] days following the date of achievement thereof. Thereafter, Freenome will provide Exact with an invoice for the corresponding Development Milestone Payment, and Exact will pay to
 Freenome such Development Milestone Payment no later than [\*\*\*] days after its receipt of an undisputed invoice for such Development Milestone Payment.

For clarity, subject to Section 8.2.2 (Alternative Development Milestone Payment) and Section 8.2.3 (Second-Line USPSTF Milestone Payment), each Development Milestone Payment will be paid only once for the first achievement of the corresponding Development Milestone Event, regardless of the number of times such Development Milestone Event is achieved and regardless of the number of Collaboration Products that achieve such Development Milestone Event. For clarity, in no event will the total amount payable to Freenome under this Section 8.2 (Development Milestone Payments), in the aggregate and taking into account any alternative milestones that may be payable, exceed Seven Hundred Million Dollars ($700,000,000) in the aggregate, assuming that each Development Milestone Event expressly set forth in Table 8.2.1 (Development Milestone Payments) were achieved.

In addition, in the event of any dispute between the Parties as to whether a [\*\*\*].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.2.2.** **Alternative Development Milestone Payment**. Notwithstanding the above, on and following the Antitrust Clearance Date, with respect to Development Milestone Event #2 above, in the event of occurrence of both (a)
 First Commercial Sale of a Collaboration Product by Exact, its Affiliates or its or their Sublicensees, [\*\*\*] and (b) Laboratory Technology Transfer Completion for such Collaboration Product (an "**Alternative Development Milestone Event** "),
 Exact will pay for such event a reduced Development Milestone Payment (the "**Alternative Development Milestone Payment**") as set forth in Table 8.2.2 (Alternative Development Milestone Payment) below [\*\*\*]:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.4.1.** **Royalties**. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.4.2 (Royalty Reductions), Exact will, on a Calendar Quarter basis during the applicable Royalty Term, make non-refundable, non-creditable royalty payments to
 Freenome based on Net Sales by Exact, its Affiliates and its and their Sublicensees of Collaboration Products in the Field in the Territory at the following rates with respect to any Collaboration Product and Calendar Quarter: (a) [\*\*\*] and (b)
 [\*\*\*] (collectively, (a) and (b), "**Royalties** ").

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.4.2.** **Royalty Reductions**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Lack of Valid Claims**. On a Collaboration Product-by-Collaboration Product basis, if, during any Calendar Quarter prior to the expiration of the Royalty Term for a given Collaboration Product, there is no Valid
 Claim of a Royalty-Bearing Patent Covering such Collaboration Product in the Territory, then the Royalties owed will be reduced by [\*\*\*].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Third Party Payments**. For any agreement (other than an Upstream Agreement) with a Third Party pursuant to which Exact is granted rights (whether by acquisition or license, including pursuant to a settlement or
 judgment, and whether constituting damages or royalties) under any [\*\*\*] that are [\*\*\*] for the Exploitation of Collaboration Products in the Field in the Territory, Exact may credit [\*\*\*] of any payments made by Exact to a Third Party under such
 agreement in a given Calendar Quarter against any payments payable by Exact to Freenome in such Calendar Quarter if such payment is for a Collaboration Product that exists as of the Effective Date (including any Collaboration Product that exists
 as of the Effective Date that meets the V1 Collaboration Product Standards or V2 Collaboration Product Standards, or any other Existing CRC Product), [\*\*\*]. Except as otherwise provided in the immediately preceding sentence, for any agreement
 (other than an Upstream Agreement) with a Third Party pursuant to which Exact is granted rights (whether by acquisition or license) under any [\*\*\*] that are [\*\*\*] for the Exploitation of Collaboration Products in the Field in the Territory, Exact
 may credit [\*\*\*] of any payments made by Exact to a Third Party under such agreement with respect to a Collaboration Product in a given Calendar Quarter against any payments payable by Exact to Freenome in such Calendar Quarter with respect to
 such Collaboration Product. [\*\*\*].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Cumulative Reductions Floor**. In no event will the Royalties otherwise due to Freenome for any Collaboration Product in a Calendar Quarter during the applicable Royalty Term for such Collaboration Product be
 reduced pursuant to [\*\*\*] by more than [\*\*\*] of the amount of Royalties otherwise due to Freenome for such Collaboration Product in such Calendar Quarter, *provided* that [\*\*\*]. In no event will the Royalties otherwise due to Freenome for
 any Collaboration Product in a Calendar Quarter during the applicable Royalty Term for such Collaboration Product be reduced pursuant to the first sentence of Section 8.4.2(b) (Third Party Payments) by more than [\*\*\*] of the amount of Royalties
 otherwise due to Freenome in such Calendar Quarter, [\*\*\*].

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.4.3.** **Royalty Reports**. Exact will calculate all amounts payable to Freenome pursuant to this Section 8.4 (Royalties) at the end of each Calendar Quarter during the applicable Royalty Term. Exact will pay to Freenome
 the applicable Royalties due, less any applicable withholding tax that is required by Applicable Law in accordance with Section 8.9 (Taxes), with respect to a given Calendar Quarter within [\*\*\*] days after the end of such Calendar Quarter. Each
 payment of Royalties due to Freenome will be accompanied by a royalty report stating [\*\*\*] during the applicable Calendar Quarter [\*\*\*].

**8.5.** **Development Cost Commitment**. In each of (a) the [\*\*\*] month period beginning as of the Antitrust Clearance Date of this Agreement, (b) the [\*\*\*] month period beginning as of the first anniversary of the
 Antitrust Clearance Date of this Agreement and (c) the [\*\*\*] month period beginning as of the second anniversary of the Antitrust Clearance Date of this Agreement, Exact will expend in such period [\*\*\*] Dollars ($[\*\*\*]) in Development Costs on
 the Development of improvements, modifications or enhancements to, or next generation versions of, the Existing CRC Product as expressly contemplated by and approved in the Development Plan (which will include reimbursement of Development Costs
 incurred by Freenome or its Affiliates in their Development of Collaboration Products under the Development Plan as specified therein) (the "**Development Commitment Amount** ").

**8.6.** **Amounts Payable**. With respect to any amounts owed under this Agreement by one Party to the other for which no other invoicing and payment procedure is specified in this Agreement, within [\*\*\*] days after the
 end of each Calendar Quarter each Party will provide an invoice, together with reasonable supporting documentation, to the other Party for such amounts owed in respect of such Calendar Quarter. The owing Party will pay any undisputed amounts
 within [\*\*\*] days after receipt of the invoice, and will pay any disputed amounts owed by such Party within [\*\*\*] days after resolution of any Dispute (*provided* that a Party disputes such amount prior to the due date for any such amount).

**8.7.** **Payment Terms**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.7.1.** **Manner of Payment**. All payments to be made between the Parties under this Agreement will be made in Dollars and will be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds in accordance with the Wire
 Instructions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.7.2.** **Late Payments**. If a Party does not receive payment of any undisputed sum due to it on or before the due date set forth under this Agreement, then simple interest will thereafter accrue on the sum due to such
 Party from the due date until the date of payment at a [\*\*\*].

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.7.3.** **Currency Exchange**. All amounts due to either Party hereunder will be expressed in Dollars. The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of currency equivalent in Dollars owed to a Party under this
 Agreement will be the exchange rate used by such Party in its financial reporting in accordance with its Accounting Standard.

**8.8.** **Records and Audits**. Each Party (the "**Audited Party**") will keep books and records in accordance with the applicable Accounting Standard in relation to this Agreement, including in relation to COGS, Gross
 Margin and Royalties, as applicable. The Audited Party will keep such books and records for [\*\*\*] years following the Calendar Year to which they pertain. The other Party (the "**Auditing Party**") may, upon written request, cause an
 internationally-recognized independent accounting firm (the "**Auditor**") that is reasonably acceptable to Audited Party to inspect the relevant records of the Audited Party and its Affiliates to verify COGS, Gross Margin or Royalties, as
 applicable, and the related reports, statements and books of accounts, as applicable. Before beginning its audit, the Auditor will execute an undertaking acceptable to the Audited Party by which the Auditor agrees to keep confidential all
 information reviewed during the audit. The Audited Party and its Affiliates will make their records available for inspection by the Auditor during regular business hours at such place or places where such records are customarily kept, upon
 receipt of reasonable advance notice from the Auditing Party. The Auditor will review the records solely to verify the accuracy of COGS, Gross Margin or Royalties, as applicable, and compliance with the financial terms of this Agreement. Such
 inspection right will not be exercised more than once in any Calendar Year and not more frequently than once with respect to records covering any specific period of time. In addition, the Auditing Party will only be entitled to audit the books
 and records of the Audited Party from the [\*\*\*] Calendar Years prior to the Calendar Year in which the audit request is made. The Auditing Party agrees to hold in strict confidence all information received and all information learned in the
 course of any audit or inspection, except to the extent necessary to enforce its rights under this Agreement or to the extent required to comply with any law, regulation or judicial order. The Auditor will provide its audit report and basis for
 any determination to the Audited Party at the time such report is provided to the Auditing Party. In the event that the final result of the inspection reveals an undisputed underpayment or overpayment by the Audited Party, the underpaid or
 overpaid amount will be settled promptly. The Auditing Party will pay for such inspections, as well as its expenses associated with enforcing its rights with respect to any payments hereunder; *provided*, *however*, that in the event
 of an underpayment of more than [\*\*\*] of the total payments due hereunder for the audited period, then the fees and expenses charged by the Auditor will be paid the Audited Party.

**8.9.** **Taxes**. Each Party will be responsible for all Taxes imposed on such Party's net income, or on net income allocated to such Party under Applicable Law. To the extent one Party pays taxes imposed on net income
 of the other Party, the other Party will reimburse the paying Party for any such taxes paid. The amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement (each, a "**Payment**") will not be reduced on account of any Taxes unless required by Applicable Law.
 Exact will deduct and withhold from the Payments any Taxes that it is required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold including from subsequent Payments, and such withheld amounts will be treated as if paid to Freenome. Notwithstanding the
 foregoing, if Freenome is entitled under any applicable tax treaty to a reduction of rate of, or the elimination of, or recovery of, applicable withholding tax, it may deliver to Exact or the appropriate Governmental Authority the prescribed
 forms necessary to reduce the applicable rate of withholding or to relieve Exact of its obligation to withhold tax. In such case Exact will apply the reduced rate of withholding, or not withhold, as the case may be, *provided* that Exact
 is, at least [\*\*\*] days prior to the due date of the applicable Payment, in receipt of evidence, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Exact, of Freenome's entitlement to a reduced or no withholding rate. If, in accordance with the foregoing,
 Exact withholds any amount, it will pay to Freenome the balance when due, make timely payment to the proper taxing authority of the withheld amount, and send Freenome proof of such payment within [\*\*\*] days following that payment. The Parties
 will, upon reasonable request of the other Party, cooperate in good faith to reduce any withholding required under Applicable Law. All value-added, sales, use, goods and services, or similar transaction taxes with respect to any Payment under
 this Agreement shall be borne by the recipient of the applicable Payment unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Prior to Exclusive License Effective Date**. As between the Parties, Freenome will have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or other action to abate any existing, alleged or
 threatened Competitive Infringement involving any Exact Prosecuted Patent Right, Freenome Prosecuted Patent Right, any Joint Collaboration Know-How or any Freenome Know-How specifically Covering a Collaboration Product in the Field in the
 Territory prior to the Exclusive License Effective Date. With respect to any Patent Rights or Know-How in each case that Freenome has the first right to enforce, Freenome will notify Exact of its decision as to whether to take any action in
 accordance with this Section 9.3.2(a) (Infringement Actions; Prior to Exclusive License Effective Date) at least [\*\*\*] days before any time limit set forth in any Applicable Law, or within [\*\*\*] days after being notified of such Competitive
 Infringement, whichever is shorter. If Freenome decides not to take such action with respect to any Patent Rights or Know-How that it has the right to enforce pursuant to this Section 9.3.2(a) (Infringement Actions; Prior to Exclusive License
 Effective Date), then Freenome will so notify Exact in writing, and Exact will have the right, but not the obligation, to commence a suit or take action to enforce the applicable Patent Right or Know-How to abate such Competitive Infringement, by
 counsel of its own choice and at Exact's sole expense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **On and After Exclusive License Effective Date**. As between the Parties, Exact will have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or other action to abate any existing, alleged or
 threatened Competitive Infringement involving any Exact Prosecuted Patent Right, Freenome Prosecuted Patent Right, any Joint Collaboration Know-How or any Freenome Know-How specifically Covering a Collaboration Product in the Field in the
 Territory on and after the Exclusive License Effective Date. With respect to any Patent Rights or Know-How in each case that Exact has the first right to enforce, Exact will notify Freenome of its decision as to whether to take any action in
 accordance with this Section 9.3.2(b) (Infringement Actions; On and After Exclusive License Effective Date) at least [\*\*\*] days before any time limit set forth in any Applicable Law, or within [\*\*\*] days after being notified of such Competitive
 Infringement, whichever is shorter. If Exact decides not to take such action with respect to any Patent Rights or Know-How that it has the right to enforce pursuant to this Section 9.3.2(b) (Infringement Actions; On and After Exclusive License
 Effective Date), then Exact will so notify Freenome in writing, and Freenome will have the right, but not the obligation, to commence a suit or take action to enforce the applicable Patent Right or Know-How to abate such Competitive Infringement,
 by counsel of its own choice and at Freenome's sole expense.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Other Rights**. As between the Parties, except as expressly provided in this Section 9.3 (Third Party Infringement and Defense), each Party will have the sole right to enforce any Patent Right or Know-How that
 such Party solely Controls, and either Party will have the right to enforce any Joint Collaboration Patent Right or Joint Collaboration Know-How.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **Cooperation**. Each Party will provide to the Party enforcing any rights under this Section 9.3.2 (Infringement Actions) reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such enforcing Party's request and expense,
 including joining any applicable action as a party plaintiff if required by Applicable Law to pursue such action or providing the enforcing Party any reasonably requested documentation or other materials. The enforcing Party will keep the other
 Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, including providing the other Party a reasonable opportunity to comment on the enforcing Party's determination of litigation strategy and the filing of important
 papers to the competent court and the enforcing Party will consider such comments in good faith. If one Party elects to bring suit or take action against the Competitive Infringement, then the other Party will have the right, during or prior to
 commencement of the trial, suit or action, to join any such suit or action at such other Party's own expense by counsel of its own choice, but such other Party will at all times reasonably cooperate with the Party bringing such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) **Expenses**. Subject to this Section 9.3.2(e) (Expenses) and Section 9.3.2(g) (Allocation of Proceeds), the enforcing Party will be responsible for all expenses arising from a suit or action against a Competitive
 Infringement. For the avoidance of doubt, the enforcing Party will not be responsible for the other Party's internal expenses (*e.g.*, FTEs) incurred as a result of the other Party's cooperation with the enforcement action as provided in
 this Section 9.3.2 (Infringement Actions).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) **Settlement**. Neither Party will settle any claim, suit or action that it brought under this Section 9.3.2 (Infringement Actions) in a manner that could reasonably be expected to affect the other Party's rights
 or interests without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) **Allocation of Proceeds**. If either Party recovers monetary damages from any Third Party in a suit pursuant to Section 9.3.2(a) or (b) (Infringement Actions) or any royalties from a license agreement with a
 Third Party related to any alleged Competitive Infringement, then such recovery will be allocated first to the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by each Party in such litigation, action or license, and any remaining amounts will be split as
 follows: (i) if Exact brings the action, then [\*\*\*] will be retained by Exact and [\*\*\*] will be paid to Freenome, and (ii) if Freenome brings the action, then [\*\*\*] will be retained by Freenome and [\*\*\*] will be paid to Exact.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.3.3.** **Defense**. As between the Parties, the Party controlling the Prosecution and Maintenance of any Patent Right under Section 9.2 (Prosecution and Maintenance of Patent Rights) will have the right (but not the
 obligation), at its sole discretion, to defend against a declaratory judgment action, post-grant review proceeding, *inter partes* review, opposition proceeding, interference or any other legal or administrative action challenging any such
 Patent Right. Any awards or amounts received in defending any such action will be allocated between the Parties as provided in 9.3.2(g) (Allocation of Proceeds).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.3.4.** **Other Invalidity or Unenforceability Proceedings**. If either Party desires to bring an opposition, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference, declaration for non-infringement, reexamination,
 post-grant proceeding or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability of a Patent Right owned or controlled by a Third Party and having one or more claims that Cover a Collaboration Product, or the Exploitation of a Collaboration
 Product (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, a Third Party's claim or assertion of infringement under Section 9.3.3 (Defense), in which case the provisions of Section 9.3.3 (Defense) will
 govern), such Party will so notify the other Party and the Parties will promptly confer to determine whether to bring such action or the manner in which to settle such action. Exact will have the initial right, but not the obligation, to bring,
 at its own expense and in its sole control, such action in the Territory and will consider Freenome's comments in good faith. Freenome will be entitled to separate representation in such proceeding by counsel of its own choice and at its own
 expense, and will cooperate fully with Exact. Any awards or amounts received in bringing such action will be first allocated to reimburse Exact's expenses in such action, and any remaining amounts will be allocated between the Parties in
 accordance with the principle set forth in Section 9.3.2(g) (Allocation of Proceeds).

**9.4.** **Patent Right Extensions**. Freenome will have the first right to elect and file for patent term restoration or extension, supplemental protection certificate, or any of their equivalents with respect to Freenome
 Prosecuted Patent Rights in the Field in the Territory; *provided* that in the event Freenome elects to not file such an extension, Freenome will (a) promptly notify Exact of its intention not to file and (b) grant Exact the right to file
 for such extension. Exact will have the first right to elect and file for patent term restoration or extension, supplemental protection certificate, or any of their equivalents with respect to Exact Prosecuted Patent Rights in the Field in the
 Territory; *provided* that in the event Exact elects to not file such an extension, Exact will (i) promptly notify Freenome of its intention not to file and (ii) grant Freenome the right to file for such extension. Each Party will provide
 prompt and reasonable assistance, as requested by the other Party, to obtain such extension or supplementary protection certificate, and otherwise cooperate with one another in obtaining such patent term extensions. The Parties will equally share
 the applicable costs incurred by a Party under this Section 9.4 (Patent Right Extensions) in furtherance of such filing in the Field in the Territory for such Collaboration Product.

**Article 10 <br> Confidentiality and Publication**

**10.1.** **Nondisclosure and Non-Use Obligations**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.1.1.** **Non-Disclosure and Non-Use**. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the Receiving Party will, during the Term and for a period of [\*\*\*] years thereafter, keep the Confidential Information of the
 Disclosing Party confidential using at least the same degree of care with which the Receiving Party holds its own confidential information of a similar nature (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care) and will not, without the prior
 written approval of the Disclosing Party, (a) disclose such Confidential Information to any of its Affiliates or any Third Party, except to its Affiliates and its and their directors, officers, employees, consultants, legal advisors, agents and
 representatives, and its and their Sublicensees and Subcontractors, in each case who have a need to know such Confidential Information in order for such Receiving Party to exercise its rights or perform its obligations hereunder and who are bound
 by confidentiality, non-disclosure and non-use provisions at least as restrictive and protective of the Parties as those set forth in this Agreement and for whom the Disclosing Party will be responsible, and (b) use such Confidential Information
 for any purpose other than for the purposes of performing the Receiving Party's obligations or exercising the Receiving Party's rights under this Agreement (including Freenome's use of Freenome Know-How to exercise any of its retained rights
 hereunder). The Receiving Party will use diligent efforts to cause the foregoing Persons to comply with the restrictions on use and disclosure set forth in this Section 10.1.1 (Non-Disclosure and Non-Use) and will be responsible for ensuring that
 such Persons maintain the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information in accordance with this Article 10 (Confidentiality and Publication). For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Freenome may use Freenome
 Know-How and Development Results to exercise its retained rights under Section 7.3 (Retained Rights), including the Development, Manufacturing, and Commercialization of MCED Products, subject to the remainder of this Article 10 (Confidentiality
 and Publication). Each Party will promptly notify the other Party of any misuse or unauthorized disclosure of the other Party's Confidential Information. The Parties agree that, effective as of the Effective Date, the Existing CDA will be
 superseded by this Agreement, and disclosures made prior to the Effective Date pursuant to the Existing CDA will be subject to the confidentiality and non-use provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the
 contrary, (i) Personal Data will be kept in confidence in perpetuity and (ii) Freenome will not disclose any Freenome Know-How to any Third Party unless such Third Party is bound by obligations of confidentiality, non-disclosure and non-use at
 least as restrictive or protective of the Parties as those set forth in this Agreement or otherwise customary for such type and scope of disclosure, subject to the permitted disclosures in Section 10.1.2 (applied *mutatis mutandis*).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.1.2.** **Permitted Disclosures**. Notwithstanding the obligations of confidentiality and non-use set forth above, a Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information (excluding Personal Data) of the Disclosing Party
 as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) to applicable Governmental Authorities in connection with (i) the Prosecution and Maintenance of Patent Rights that it has a right to Prosecute and Maintain hereunder; or (ii) Regulatory Submissions and other filings
 with such Governmental Authorities (including Regulatory Authorities), as necessary for the Exploitation of a Collaboration Product;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) disclosure of the existence and applicable terms of this Agreement and, subject to Section 10.1.2(c) (Permitted Disclosures), the status and results of Exploitation of one or more Collaboration Products to actual or *bona fide* potential investors, acquirors, Sublicensees, lenders, and other financial or commercial partners (including in connection with any royalty factoring transaction), and their respective attorneys, accountants, banks, investors and
 advisors, solely for the purpose of evaluating or carrying out an actual or potential investment, acquisition, sublicense, debt transaction or collaboration; *provided* that, in each such case, (i) such Persons are bound by obligations of
 confidentiality, non-disclosure and non-use provisions at least as restrictive or protective of the Parties as those set forth in this Agreement or otherwise customary for such type and scope of disclosure, (ii) to the greatest extent
 practicable, such disclosure is limited only for the particular context in which it is being disclosed, and (iii) the term of such confidentiality obligation must be consistent with industry standards, but in all cases at least [\*\*\*];

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) if required by Applicable Law, including as may be required in connection with any filings made with, or by the disclosure policies of, a major stock exchange (as set forth in additional detail in Section 10.1.3
 (Confidential Treatment)); *provided* that the Party seeking to disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party: (i) will use all reasonable efforts to inform the other Party prior to making any such disclosures and cooperate with
 the other Party in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy (including redaction); and (ii) will, whenever possible, request confidential treatment of such information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) to prosecute or defend litigation and to enforce Patent Rights; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) in the case of Freenome, disclosure of Freenome Know-How to Third Parties in connection with products other than Collaboration Products, subject to the obligations described in the last sentence of Section 10.1.1
 (Non-Disclosure and Non-Use).

If and whenever any Confidential Information is disclosed in accordance with this Section 10.1.2 (Permitted Disclosures), such disclosure will not cause any such information to cease to be Confidential Information except to the extent that such disclosure results in a public disclosure of such information (other than by breach of this Agreement). In addition, no combination of features or disclosures will be deemed to fall within the foregoing exclusions ((a)-(d)) merely because individual features are published or available to the general public or in the rightful possession of the Receiving Party, unless the combination itself and principle of operation are published or available to the general public or in the rightful possession of the Receiving Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.1.3.** **Confidential Treatment**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party's Confidential Information pursuant to Section 10.1.2(c) (Permitted
 Disclosure), then it will, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law or judicial or administrative process, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such proposed disclosure and use reasonable efforts to secure confidential
 treatment of such information and will only disclose that portion of Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed as advised by its legal counsel. In any event, each Party agrees to take reasonable action to avoid any
 disclosure of Confidential Information of the other Party hereunder.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In addition, the Parties acknowledge that either or both Parties may be obligated to file a copy of this Agreement (or portions of this Agreement or an abstract of the terms of this Agreement) with the United States
 Securities and Exchange Commission ()"**SEC**") or other Governmental Authorities. Each Party will be entitled to make such a required filing, but, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the filed copy of this Agreement (or portions of this
 Agreement or an abstract of the terms of this Agreement, as applicable) will be redacted ()"**Redacted Agreement**") and the filing Party will request confidential treatment of the terms redacted from this Agreement for a reasonable period of
 time, in each case, pursuant to the following procedure. In the event of any such filing, each Party will (i) permit the other Party to review and comment upon the proposed Redacted Agreement at least [\*\*\*] Business Days in advance of its
 submission to the SEC or such other Governmental Authorities, (ii) cooperate in good faith with and reasonably consider and incorporate the other Party's reasonable comments thereon to seek confidential treatment of the terms and conditions of
 this Agreement that such other Party requests to be kept confidential or otherwise afforded confidential treatment, to the extent consistent with the then-current legal requirements governing redaction of information from material agreements (as
 determined based on the advice of such Party's outside counsel) that must be publicly filed in the applicable country, (iii) only disclose Confidential Information that counsel reasonably advises is legally required to be disclosed, (iv) promptly
 advise the other Party of any other substantive communications between it or its representatives with such Governmental Authority with respect to such confidential treatment request, (v) upon the written request of the other Party, request an

 reasonable efforts to support the redactions in the Redacted Agreement as originally filed (to the extent consistent with the then-current legal requirements governing redaction of information from material agreements that must be publicly filed)
 and, to the extent reasonably practicable, not agree to any changes to the redactions proposed in the Redacted Agreement without first discussing such changes with the other Party and taking the other Party's comments into consideration when
 deciding whether to agree to such changes. Each Party will be responsible for its own legal and other external costs in connection with any such filing, registration, or notification.

**10.2.** **Publication and Publicity**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.2.1.** **Publication**. Except for disclosures permitted in accordance with Section 10.1.2 (Permitted Disclosures) and Section 10.1.3(b) (Confidential Treatment), Exact will have the right to review and approve any
 publication or public presentation relating to any Collaboration Product that Freenome or its Affiliates wishes to issue, and, in any event, either Party wishing to make a publication or public presentation that contains the Confidential
 Information of the other Party will deliver to the other Party and the JSC a copy of the proposed written publication or presentation at least [\*\*\*] days prior to submission for publication or presentation. The reviewing Party, through the JSC,
 will have the right to (a) propose modifications to the publication or presentation for patent reasons or trade secret reasons or to remove Confidential Information of the reviewing Party or its Affiliates, and the publishing Party will remove
 all Confidential Information of the reviewing Party if requested by the reviewing Party and otherwise use good faith efforts to reflect such Party's reasonable comments, or (b) request a reasonable delay in publication or presentation in order to
 protect patentable information. If the reviewing Party requests a delay to enable the reviewing Party to file patent applications as permitted under Article 9 (Intellectual Property) protecting such Party's right in such information, then the
 publishing Party will delay such submission or presentation for a period of [\*\*\*] days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Parties). All publications relating to any Collaboration Product will be prepared, presented, and published in
 accordance with applicable industry accepted guidelines including as applicable: (i) International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) guidelines and (ii) Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals: Writing and

 relating to this Agreement, its subject matter, or the activities of the Parties hereunder, in each case, without the prior express written permission of the other Party, except (a) as may be required by Applicable Law (as determined based on the
 advice of outside counsel), including by the rules or regulations of the SEC or similar Governmental Authority or of any stock exchange or listing entity, *provided* that the Party making such disclosure or use of the name or Trademark of
 the other Party or its employees gives the other Party reasonable prior written notice of such disclosure and otherwise complies with Section 10.1.2 (Permitted Disclosures) or Section 10.1.3(b) (Confidential Treatment), or (b) as expressly
 permitted by the terms hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.2.3.** **Press Release**. Each Party may issue an initial press release in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, on a timeline mutually agreed by the Parties following the Effective Date
 (but in any event no later than August 6, 2025), *provided* that the other Party has approved in advance the contents of such press release. Following the initial press release, except as provided in Section 10.1.3 (Confidential Treatment),
 Section 10.2.2 (Publicity) or this Section 10.2.3 (Press Release), neither Party may issue any press release or public announcement or disclosure relating to this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Party, except that on and
 after the Antitrust Clearance Date, Exact will have the right to issue any press release or public announcement or disclosure regarding the Exploitation of Collaboration Products in the Field in the Territory without the prior written approval of
 Freenome. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may (a) once a press release or other public statement is issued in accordance with this Agreement, make subsequent public disclosure of the information contained in such press release or other
 written statement (so long as such information remains true and correct), and (b) issue a press release or public announcement as required by Applicable Law (including a press release corresponding to any securities disclosure, such as pursuant

------

**11.2.** **Representations and Warranties by Freenome**. Freenome represents and warrants to Exact that: (a) except as set forth on Schedule 11.2 (Schedule of Exceptions), as
 of the Effective Date and (b) except as set forth in a disclosure letter delivered by Freenome to Exact as set forth in Section 11.5 (Disclosure Letter), which letter will only set forth specific facts and circumstances that have occurred on or
 after the Effective Date and will not limit or otherwise amend any representations or warranties contained in this Section 11.2 (Representations and Warranties by Freenome) ()"**Disclosure Letter** "), as of the Bring-Down Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.2.1.** **Freenome Patent Rights**. Schedule 1.95 (Existing Freenome Patent Rights) sets forth a complete and accurate list of all Freenome Patent Rights issued or pending, including the owner(s) thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.2.2.** **Freenome Trademarks**. Schedule 1.99 (Existing Freenome Trademarks) sets forth a complete and accurate list of all registered or pending Freenome Trademarks, including the owner(s) thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.2.3.** **Freenome Technology**. Freenome has (a) legal and beneficial title and sole ownership of, or otherwise exclusively Controls, all Freenome Technology, free and clear of all mortgages, pledges, liens,
 encumbrances, security interests, charges or claims of any kind, including claims by any Governmental Authority or academic or non-profit institution; and (b) full right and authority to grant to Exact and its Affiliates the licenses granted or
 purported to be granted in this Agreement under the Freenome Technology. Neither Freenome nor any of its Affiliates has granted any option, right or license to any Person relating to any Freenome Technology or Freenome Trademarks that would
 conflict with or limit the scope of any of the licenses or other rights granted or purported to be granted to Exact hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.2.4.** **Control**. Freenome Controls all Patent Rights and Know-How owned, invented or licensed by Freenome that are necessary or reasonably useful to Develop, Manufacture, Commercialize and otherwise Exploit the
 Existing CRC Product in the Field in the Territory.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.2.5.** **No Payments**. Neither Freenome nor any of its Affiliates is subject to any payment obligations to Third Parties as a result of the execution or performance of this Agreement or the Development, Manufacture,
 Commercialization or other Exploitation of Collaboration Products in the Field in the Territory.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.2.6.** **Ownership of Freenome Technology**. With respect to any Freenome Technology owned or purported to be owned by Freenome, (a) Freenome and its Affiliates have obtained from all employees and independent
 contractors who participated in the invention or authorship thereof, assignments of all ownership rights of such employees and independent contractors in such Freenome Technology pursuant to a written agreement; (b) all of its employees,
 officers, contractors and consultants who will act on Freenome's behalf under this Agreement have executed agreements or have existing obligations under Applicable Law requiring assignment to Freenome or its Affiliate, as applicable, of all
 rights, title, and interests in and to inventions made during the course of and as the result of this Agreement (other than rights to improvements to contractors' background intellectual property that may be retained by such contractors); and (c)
 to Freenome's Knowledge, no officer or employee of Freenome or its Affiliate is subject to any agreement with any other Person that requires such officer or employee to assign any interest in any Freenome Technology to any Person other than
 Freenome or its Affiliate. Freenome exclusively owns all rights, title and interests in and to the Freenome Patent Rights, and where Freenome does not exclusively own any such Patent Right, Schedule 1.95 (Existing Freenome Patent Rights)
 identifies the Person that, to Freenome's Knowledge, Controls such Patent Rights and the agreement pursuant to which Freenome Controls such Patent Right. The Freenome Patent Rights that Freenome owns or for which Freenome has rights to direct
 prosecution are being prosecuted in the USPTO in compliance with Applicable Law, and Freenome and its Affiliates have presented all references, documents or information that it and the inventors had a duty to disclose under Applicable Law,
 including 37 C.F.R. 1.56, to the relevant patent examiners at the USPTO for each such Freenome Patent Right.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.2.7.** **Validity and Enforceability**. With respect to Freenome Patent Rights, there are no oppositions, nullity actions, interferences, *inter partes* reexaminations, *inter partes* reviews, post-grant
 reviews, derivation proceedings or other proceedings pending or, to Freenome's Knowledge, threatened in writing (but excluding office actions or similar communications issued by the USPTO in the ordinary course of Prosecution and Maintenance of
 any patent application) that challenge the ownership, scope, duration, validity, enforceability, priority or right to practice the Freenome Patent Rights owned or purported to be owned by Freenome or, to the Knowledge of Freenome, any other
 Freenome Patent Rights. To Freenome's Knowledge, all issued Freenome Patent Rights are valid and enforceable, and Freenome does not have any Knowledge of any fact or circumstance that would cause Freenome to reasonably conclude that any of the
 Freenome Patent Rights is, or will be upon issuance, invalid or unenforceable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.2.8.** **Inventorship**. Inventorship of each Freenome Patent Right is properly identified on each patent and patent application, and Freenome has no Knowledge of any disputes with respect to inventorship of any Freenome
 Patent Rights.

 Affiliates that would provide a right to terminate, renegotiate, accelerate or materially change any such agreement or terms thereof. Immediately following the Effective Date, Freenome or its Affiliate will continue to be permitted to exercise
 all of its rights under each such Existing Upstream Agreement to which it is party pursuant to the terms thereof without the payment of any additional amounts of consideration beyond ongoing fees, royalties or payments that Freenome or its
 Affiliate would otherwise be required to pay in accordance with the terms of such Existing Upstream Agreement had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not occurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.2.20.** **Compliance with Laws**. Freenome and its Affiliates have conducted, and to Freenome's Knowledge their respective contractors and consultants have conducted, the Exploitation of Collaboration Products in
 compliance with all Applicable Laws, including as applicable FDA Laws, CLIA, conditions of participation, state laws relating to the operation of clinical laboratories, anti-corruption or anti-bribery laws or regulations of any Governmental
 Authority with jurisdiction over such Exploitation and standards of applicable accrediting bodies, as well as in good scientific manner appropriate for scientific, regulatory and intellectual property purposes and in a manner that fully and
 accurately reflects all work done and results achieved in the performance of Development activities conducted by or on behalf of Freenome or its Affiliates with respect to the Collaboration Products. In the past [\*\*\*] years, neither Freenome nor
 any of its Affiliates has received any written notice, order, complaint or other communication from any Governmental Authority or any other Person alleging that Freenome or its Affiliate is not in compliance with any Applicable Laws, conditions
 of participation or accreditation standards in each case related to the Exploitation of the Collaboration Products, and no investigation by any Governmental Authority regarding a violation of any such Applicable Laws is pending or, to Freenome's
 Knowledge, threatened.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.2.23.** **Data Privacy**. The Processing of Personal Data by Freenome, its Affiliates and, to Freenome's Knowledge, its and their contractors, consultants and collaborators (including any transfer of Personal Data across
 national borders) in connection with the Collaboration Products is and has been in compliance with Data Protection Laws in all countries and jurisdictions, all privacy related consents and notices that apply to Collaboration Products and the
 requirements of any contract or codes of conduct to which Freenome or its Affiliate is a party (collectively, the "**Privacy and Security Obligations** "). Freenome has provided all necessary privacy notices related to research participants and
 has an appropriate legal basis under Data Protection Laws to Process all Personal Data in connection with the Collaboration Products. Freenome has developed, implemented and maintains a compliance program, policies and procedures and training
 programs to ensure ongoing compliance with the Privacy and Security Obligations. Freenome has commercially reasonable physical, technical, organizational and administrative measures and policies in place designed to protect all Personal Data
 collected by it or on its behalf from and against unauthorized Processing. Freenome is and has complied in all material respects with all Privacy and Security Obligations relating to data breach reporting and notification obligations. In the last
 [\*\*\*] years, neither Freenome nor any of its Affiliates has received written notice of any alleged material violation from a Regulatory Authority or other Person of any Privacy and Security Obligations and has no Knowledge of facts that would
 give rise to such a violation. Freenome is not under investigation by any Regulatory Authority for a violation of Data Protection Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, all informed consent forms for any of Freenome's or its Affiliates' past and
 ongoing Clinical Trials for any Collaboration Product permit the transfer to Exact as contemplated under this Agreement, and use and other Exploitation by Exact as contemplated under this Agreement, of clinical data and samples collected or
 otherwise generated in such Clinical Trial.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.2.24.** **No Fraudulent Statements**. Neither Freenome nor its Affiliates, nor, to Freenome's Knowledge, any of its or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents has (a) committed an act, (b) made a
 statement or (c) failed to act or make statement, in each case ((a), (b) or (c)), that (i) would be or created an untrue statement of material fact or fraudulent statement to the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority with respect to the
 Development and Manufacture of the Collaboration Products or (ii) could reasonably be expected to provide a basis for the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority to invoke its policy respecting "Fraud, Untrue Statements of Material Facts, Bribery

 Products, as applicable, in a good scientific manner and materially in accordance with all Applicable Laws, including, as applicable, the FDA Laws or regulations of any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the activities performed in the
 Territory by or on behalf of a Party, its Affiliates or its or their Sublicensees or Subcontractors in furtherance of such obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, Applicable Laws include, without limitation, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute (42
 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b(b)), the Eliminating Kickbacks in Recovery Act (18 U.S.C. § 220), and any applicable state laws relating to anti-kickback, fee-splitting, direct billing, or anti-markup prohibitions, as applicable. In addition, if a Party is or

 Sublicensees and Subcontractors to comply with, all applicable Data Protection Laws and provide necessary assistance for the other Party to comply with applicable Data Protection Laws. To the extent that a Party, its Affiliates or its or their
 Sublicensees or Subcontractors access or come into possession of Personal Data in connection with its activities under this Agreement, it will, and will cause its Affiliates and its and their Sublicensees and Subcontractors to, comply with
 applicable Data Protection Laws to which they may be subject as a result thereof. Each Party will take commercially reasonable efforts to protect the privacy and security of Personal Data in its possession and to prevent (a) unauthorized access
 to or disclosure, use, or destruction of Personal Data, (b) accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration (including corruption) of or damage to Personal Data, and (c) all other unauthorized or unlawful forms of processing of Personal
 Data ()"**Data Breach** "). Each Party will further maintain, and ensure that its Affiliates and its and their Sublicensees and Subcontractors in each case that access or come into possession of Personal Data in connection with their activities
 under this Agreement maintain, a commercially reasonable program for protecting against Data Breaches of Personal Data in its possession pursuant to activities under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect
 to all activities performed by or on behalf of a Party under this Agreement, such Party will, and will ensure that its Affiliates and its and their Sublicensees and Subcontractors in each case that access or come into possession of Personal Data
 in connection with their activities under this Agreement, implement reasonable safeguards and access controls for Personal Data.

 Exact in the case of Section 13.3.1 (Freenome Termination upon Specific Events) or Section 13.3.2 (Freenome Termination upon Specific Events) and [\*\*\*] days' prior written notice in the case of Section 13.3.3 (Freenome Termination upon Specific
 Events), if the following event occurs and Freenome provides such notice no later than [\*\*\*] days after Freenome first obtains actual knowledge that Freenome has such termination right:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.3.1.** Exact and its Affiliates cease all Commercialization activities for all [\*\*\*], *provided* that Exact will have an opportunity to cure such inactivity or dispute such inactivity as if such inactivity were a
 material breach in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 13.6 (Termination for Material Breach), applied *mutatis mutandis*.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.3.2.** Exact or any of its Affiliates engages in (or causes or directs any Third Party to engage in) any Patent Challenge with respect to any Freenome Patent Right in the Field in the Territory; *provided* that with
 respect to any Patent Challenge by any Affiliate, Freenome will not have the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 13.3.2 (**Freenome Termination upon Specific Events**) if, within [\*\*\*] days after Freenome's notice to Exact,
 Exact causes such Patent Challenge to be terminated or dismissed; and *provided*, *further*, that this Section 13.3.2 (**Freenome Termination upon Specific Events**) will not apply to, and Freenome may not terminate this Agreement
 (and Exact shall have no liability) with respect to [\*\*\*].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.3.3.** [\*\*\*]

**13.4.** **Termination for Convenience**. Following the earlier of (a) achievement of Development Milestone Event #2 and (b) January 1, 2028, Exact may terminate this Agreement in its entirety (for all Collaboration
 Products) in its sole discretion at any time upon [\*\*\*] days' prior written notice to Freenome.

------

**13.5.** **Termination for Bankruptcy**. Either Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon providing written notice to the other Party on or after the time that such other Party makes a general assignment for
 the benefit of creditors, files an insolvency petition in bankruptcy, petitions for or acquiesces in the appointment of any receiver, trustee or similar officer to liquidate or conserve its business or any substantial part of its assets,
 commences under the laws of any jurisdiction any proceeding involving its insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, adjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or any other similar proceeding for the release of financially distressed debtors, or
 becomes a party to any proceeding or action of the type described above, and such proceeding or action remains un-dismissed or un-stayed for a period of more than [\*\*\*] days. In the case of any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, such right to
 terminate will only become effective if the non-terminating Party consents to the involuntary bankruptcy or such proceeding is not dismissed within [\*\*\*] days after the filing thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.5.1.** **Section 365(n)**. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code and other
 similar laws in any jurisdiction outside the U.S. (collectively, the "**Bankruptcy Laws** "), licenses of rights to "intellectual property" as defined under the Bankruptcy Laws. If a case is commenced during the Term by or against a Party under
 Bankruptcy Laws then, unless and until this Agreement is rejected as provided pursuant to such Bankruptcy Laws, such Party (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a Title 11 trustee) will
 perform all the obligations in this Agreement intended to be performed by such Party. If a case is commenced during the Term by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Laws, this Agreement is rejected as provided for under the Bankruptcy Laws,
 and the other Party elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided for under the Bankruptcy Laws, then the bankrupt Party (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a Title 11 trustee), will
 provide to the non-bankrupt Party copies of all Patent Rights, Know-How and intellectual property necessary for the non-bankrupt Party to prosecute, maintain and enjoy its rights under the terms of this Agreement. All rights, powers and remedies
 of the non-bankrupt Party as provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including the Bankruptcy Laws) in the event of the commencement of a
 case by or against the bankrupt Party under the Bankruptcy Laws. In particular, it is the intention and understanding of the Parties to this Agreement that the rights granted to each Party under this Section 13.5 (Termination for Bankruptcy) are
 essential to such Party's respective businesses and the Parties acknowledge that damages are not an adequate remedy in the event of any termination described in this Section 13.5 (Termination for Bankruptcy).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.5.2.** **Cumulative Remedies**. All rights, powers and remedies of each Party provided in this Section 13.5 (Termination for Bankruptcy) are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights, powers and
 remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including the U.S. Bankruptcy Code) in the event of the commencement of a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with respect the other Party. The Parties intend the following rights to extend
 to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, and to be enforceable under U.S. Bankruptcy Code Section 365(n):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the right of access to any intellectual property rights (and all embodiments thereof) of a Party, or any Third Party with whom a Party contracts to perform any obligation of it (or its Affiliates) under this
 Agreement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the right to contract directly with any Third Party to complete the contracted work.

**13.6.** **Termination for Material Breach**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.6.1.** **By Exact**. Exact may terminate this Agreement in its entirety if Freenome or any of its Affiliates has materially breached this Agreement, subject to the notice, Cure Period and dispute resolution procedures
 set forth in this Section 13.6 (Termination for Material Breach).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.6.2.** **By Freenome**. Freenome may terminate this Agreement (a) with respect to one or more Collaboration Products if Exact or any of its Affiliates has materially breached this Agreement with respect to such
 Collaboration Product or (b) in its entirety in the event Exact or its Affiliate has materially breached this Agreement as a whole or with respect to all Collaboration Products, in each case of the foregoing ((a) and (b)) subject to the notice,
 Cure Period and dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 13.6 (Termination for Material Breach).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.6.3.** **Process for Termination**. If a Party (the "**Breaching Party**") materially breaches this Agreement, then the other Party (the "**Non-Breaching Party**") may give written notice to the Breaching Party
 identifying such alleged material breach in sufficient detail to put the Breaching Party on notice of such material breach, and to give the Breaching Party the opportunity to cure such material breach within [\*\*\*] days after delivery of such
 notice (the "**Cure Period** "). Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.6.3 (Process for Termination) will become effective at the end of the Cure Period, unless the Breaching Party has cured any such material breach
 prior to the expiration of such Cure Period or, if such material breach is not susceptible to cure within the Cure Period, then the Cure Period will be extended so long as (i) the Breaching Party has provided to the Non-Breaching Party a written
 plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a cure of such material breach within the original Cure Period, (ii) such plan is accepted by the Non-Breaching Party (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and
 (iii) the Breaching Party commits to and diligently carries out such plan as provided to the Non-Breaching Party, *provided* that, in no event will the Cure Period be extended to more than a total of [\*\*\*] days. The right of either Party to
 terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 13.6.3 (Process for Termination) will not be affected in any way by such Party's waiver of or failure to take action with respect to any previous breach under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.6.4.** **Disputes Regarding Material Breach**. If the Parties reasonably and in good faith disagree as to whether there has been a material breach of this Agreement, then the Breaching Party that disputes whether there
 has been a material breach may contest the allegation in accordance with Section 15.3 (Dispute Resolution), and the Cure Period will toll upon the initiation of such dispute resolution procedures. If, as a result of such dispute resolution
 process, it is determined pursuant to Section 15.3 (Dispute Resolution) that the Breaching Party committed a material breach of this Agreement, then the Cure Period will resume and if the Breaching Party does not cure such material breach within
 the remainder of the Cure Period (as such Cure Period may be extended pursuant to Section 13.6.3 (Process for Termination) above), then this Agreement will terminate effective as of the expiration of such Cure Period. This Agreement will remain
 in full force and effect during the pendency of any such dispute resolution proceeding and the Cure Period. Any such dispute resolution proceeding will not suspend any obligations of either Party hereunder, and each Party will use reasonable
 efforts to mitigate any damage. Any payments that are made by one Party to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement pending resolution of the Dispute will be promptly refunded if it is determined pursuant to Section 15.3 (Dispute Resolution)
 that such payments are to be refunded by one Party to the other Party. If, as a result of such dispute resolution proceeding, it is determined that the Breaching Party did not commit such material breach (or such material breach was cured in
 accordance with this Section 13.6 (Termination for Material Breach)), then no termination of this Agreement will be effective, and this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

------

**13.7.** **Effects of Termination Generally**. Upon termination (but not expiration) of this Agreement in whole or with respect to one or more Terminated Products, in addition to the other rights and remedies that may be
 available to either of the Parties under this Agreement, the following will apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.7.1.** **Termination of Licenses**. As of the effective date of termination of this Agreement, all licenses granted under Section 7.1 (License Grants to Exact) and Section 7.2(b) (License Grant to Freenome) with respect
 to the Terminated Products will terminate, and all sublicenses granted by a Party or its Affiliates pursuant to Section 7.4 (Sublicensing Terms) with respect to the Terminated Products will also terminate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.7.2.** **Sublicensees**. Upon the request of any Sublicensee of Exact that is not an Affiliate or Subcontractor of Exact and is not then in breach of its sublicense agreement or the terms of this Agreement applicable to
 such Sublicensee, Freenome will enter into a direct license with such Sublicensee on the same terms as this Agreement, taking into account any difference in license scope, territory and duration of sublicense grant (each, a "**New License Agreement** "). [\*\*\*].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.7.3.** **Return of Confidential Information**. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement with respect to a Terminated Product, the Receiving Party will return or
 destroy (the option being the Receiving Party's) all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party related to such Terminated Product, as applicable, that is in the Receiving Party's possession or control, except that the Receiving Party will
 have the right to retain a copy of tangible Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for legal archival purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.7.4.** **Termination of Payment Obligations**. All payment obligations hereunder will terminate, other than those that are accrued and unpaid as of the effective date of such termination, except that notwithstanding
 anything herein to the contrary, Development Milestone Payments will not accrue if achieved as of or after the date of notice of any termination under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.7.5.** **Inventory and Laboratory Services**. Exact will have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of Terminated Products on hand at the time of such termination or in the process of Manufacturing, and finish
 completion of laboratory services for Terminated Products submitted to Exact prior to the effective date of termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.7.6.** **License to Exact-Funded Technology**. As of the effective date of any termination of this Agreement, Freenome hereby grants to Exact a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid up, royalty free, perpetual,
 irrevocable, sublicensable (in multiple-tiers), transferable right and license to use and practice the Exact-Funded Technology for any and all purposes.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.7.7.** **Wind Down; Transition Support**. The Parties will promptly wind down and terminate all activities under the Development Plan as promptly as possible after notice of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
 the event of any termination of this Agreement by Exact following first achievement of First-Line FDA Approval pursuant to Section 13.2 (Exact Termination upon Specific Events) or Section 13.4 (Termination for Convenience) or by Freenome pursuant
 to Section 13.3 (Freenome Termination upon Specific Events), Section 13.5 (Termination for Bankruptcy) or Section 13.6 (Termination for Material Breach), upon written request from Freenome to Exact provided no later than [\*\*\*] days following the
 effective date of termination, unless prohibited by Applicable Law, [\*\*\*] such period not to exceed [\*\*\*] months from the effective date of the termination.

**13.8.** **Alternative Remedy in Lieu of Termination**. If Exact has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.5 (Termination for Bankruptcy) or Section 13.6 (Termination for Material Breach), subject to
 Section 13.6.4 (Disputes Regarding Material Breach), then in lieu of terminating this Agreement Exact may, in its sole discretion, exercise an alternative remedy as follows, which will constitute its sole and exclusive remedy if so exercised:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.8.1.** Exact may retain all of its licenses and other rights granted under this Agreement, subject to all of its payment and other obligations, *provided* that (a) any then-unearned Development Milestone Payments
 payable thereafter under this Agreement will be reduced by [\*\*\*] effective from and after the delivery of the applicable notice of breach, (b) all Royalty rates will be reduced by [\*\*\*] effective from and after the delivery of the applicable
 notice of breach, and (c) Exact's obligations under Section 5.3 (Diligence Obligations) will terminate; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.8.2.** any Confidential Information of Exact provided to Freenome pursuant to this Agreement will be promptly returned to Exact or destroyed, and Exact will be released from its ongoing disclosure and information exchange
 obligations with respect to Development and Commercialization following the date of such election.

For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in this Section 13.8 (Alternative Remedy in Lieu of Termination), if Exact exercises the alternative remedy set forth above in this Section 13.8 (Alternate Remedy in Lieu of Termination), then all rights and obligations of both Parties under this Agreement will continue unaffected, unless and until this Agreement is subsequently terminated by either Party pursuant to this Article 13 (Term and Termination). In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if Freenome disputes the allegation of a material breach pursuant to Section 13.6.4 (Disputes Regarding Material Breach), and it is determined, as a result of the dispute resolution process set forth in Section 15.3 (Dispute Resolution), that Exact has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.6 (Termination for Material Breach) based on the uncured material breach by Freenome or pursuant to Section 13.5 (Termination for Bankruptcy), then the adjustments of Development Milestone Payments contemplated by this Section 13.8 (Alternative Remedy in Lieu of Termination) will be deemed effective since the date of notice of the applicable material breach, and Exact will have the right to credit any overpayment that has been made during the dispute resolution process against future payments payable to Freenome.

------

**13.9.** **Survival**. In addition to the termination consequences set forth in Section 13.7 (Effects of Termination Generally), the following provisions will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any
 reason: Article 1 (Definitions) (for the purposes of interpreting this Agreement); Section 3.3 (Development Costs) (to the extent applicable to payments incurred prior to termination or expiration); Section 3.6 (Records and Compliance); Section
 5.5 (Billing of Third Parties) (to the extent applicable to payments incurred prior to termination or expiration); Section 5.9 (Branding) (last sentence only); Section 7.2 (License Grant to Freenome); Article 8 (Payments) (to the extent
 applicable to payments incurred prior to termination or expiration); Section 9.1 (Ownership); Article 10 (Confidentiality and Publication) (for the length of time set forth therein); Section 11.4 (Compliance with Data Security and Privacy Laws)
 (with respect to Patient Data of the other Party); Article 12 (Indemnification; Limitation of Liability; Insurance) (with respect to Section 12.5 (Insurance), for the length of time set forth therein); Section 13.1 (with respect to the last
 sentence only upon expiration); Section 13.7 (Effects of Termination Generally); this Section 13.9 (Survival); and Article 15 (Miscellaneous). Expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason will not relieve the Parties of any
 liability or obligation which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration, nor preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity, with respect to any
 breach of this Agreement.

**Article 14 <br> ANTITRUST CLEARANCE; COOPERATION AND EFFORTS**

**14.1.** **Antitrust Clearance Date**. The "**Antitrust Clearance Date**" will occur on the date on which all of the following conditions have been met, unless either Party exercises its termination right under Section

**14.2.** **HSR Filings**. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Exact and Freenome will (a) make or cause to be made any registrations, declarations and filings required of such Party under the
 Hart-Scott-Rodino Act of 1976, as amended, along with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder ()"**HSR Act**") with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement ()"**Required Filings**") promptly after the Effective
 Date and in no event later than [\*\*\*] Business Days from the Effective Date, and any filing fees associated therewith shall be paid by Exact and such initial filings from Exact and Freenome will request early termination of any applicable waiting
 period under the HSR Act, (b) with the exception of one pull and refile of the filing made under the HSR Act, not extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority not to consummate the
 transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the other Party, and (c) subject to Applicable Law, furnish to the other Party as promptly as reasonably practicable all information required for any
 application or other filing to be made by the other Party pursuant to the HSR Act in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

------

**14.3.** **Cooperation**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.3.1.** **General**. Each of the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts, and cooperate with the other Party, to obtain the HSR Conditions for this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable, and will keep
 each other apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice, or any other Governmental Authority ()"**Antitrust Agency**") related to this Agreement in connection with antitrust matters. The Parties will instruct their respective counsel to coordinate and cooperate with each other to facilitate and expedite the identification and resolution of any such
 issues and, consequently, the expiration of the applicable HSR Act waiting period as early as reasonably practicable. In the context of this Section 14.3 (Cooperation), commercially reasonable efforts include counsel's undertaking: (a) to
 reasonably keep each other informed of communications received from and submitted to personnel of an Antitrust Agency relating to this Agreement, including by furnishing to the other Party's counsel such necessary information and reasonable
 assistance as such Party may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act and promptly furnishing an Antitrust Agency any information requested in connection with such
 filings (subject to reasonable redactions for privilege and confidentiality concerns); (b) to confer with each other regarding appropriate contacts with, and response to, personnel of any Antitrust Agency and consider in good faith the views of
 the other Party, allowing the other Party to review any proposed material written communications in advance and including all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested by the other Party; (c) to not agree to participate in any
 substantive meeting or discussion with any Antitrust Agency in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement unless such Party consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Antitrust
 Agency, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat. Without limitation to the foregoing, Exact shall control and lead (with prior notice to and consultation of Freenome, and taking Freenome's views into account in
 good faith) all communications and strategy relating to any process under the HSR Act or any Antitrust Laws and with respect to any other approval required from a Governmental Authority under any Applicable Law for the transaction contemplated by
 this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.3.2.** Each Party will be responsible for its own costs and expenses (including costs and expenses of its own legal and other advice) in relation to the Required Filings and satisfaction of the HSR Conditions (other than
 Exact's payment of Freenome's filing fees under the HSR Act).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.3.3.** Each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as may be required under any Antitrust Laws in order to satisfy the HSR Conditions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
 the term "commercially reasonable efforts" does not require each Party to: (a) offer, negotiate, commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, trust or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any capital
 stock, assets, rights, products or businesses of such Party or its Affiliates, (b) agree to any restrictions on, or changes to, the activities of such Party or its Affiliates under this Agreement, (c) pay any material amount or take any other
 action to prevent, effect the dissolution of, vacate, or lift any decree, order, judgment, injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the
 Antitrust Clearance Date, or (d) litigate or contest, administratively or in court, any ruling, order, or other action by any Antitrust Agency.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.3.4.** Exact shall not, and shall cause its respective subsidiaries not to, acquire or agree to acquire, by merging with or into or consolidating with, any Third Party corporation, partnership, association or other business
 organization or division thereof that is developing or maintaining a CRC Blood Product that is not otherwise Controlled by Exact as of the Effective Date, in each case, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the
 consummation of such acquisition, merger, or consolidation would reasonably be expected to impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining the HSR Conditions for this Agreement.

**14.4.** **Outside Date**. This Agreement will terminate (a) at the election of either Party, immediately upon written notice to the other Party, if the U.S. Federal Trade Commission or the U.S. Department of Justice seeks
 a permanent injunction under applicable antitrust and non-competition laws against Exact or Freenome to enjoin the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (b) at the election of Exact or Freenome, immediately upon written notice to the
 other Party, in the event that the Antitrust Clearance Date will not have occurred on or prior to [\*\*\*] days after the effective date of the Required Filings ()"**Outside Date** "); *provided*, *however*, that Exact may elect in its
 sole discretion to extend the Outside Date until the later of (i) an additional [\*\*\*] days if at the end of such period, either Party is subject to a pending action, proceeding or investigation brought by a Governmental Authority related to
 Antitrust Laws or any of the Required Filings, or (ii) the date of First-Line FDA Approval for any Collaboration Product (but not beyond [\*\*\*]). In the event of such termination, this Agreement will be of no further force and effect.

**14.5.** **Exclusive License Effectiveness Date**. In the event that the Parties reasonably anticipate that First-Line FDA Approval for the first Collaboration Product will not occur within [\*\*\*] days following the
 Antitrust Clearance Date, the Parties will confer with one another in good faith regarding re-filing of Required Filings.

**Article 15 <br> Miscellaneous**

**15.1.** **Assignment**. Neither this Agreement nor any interest hereunder will be assignable by a Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, except [\*\*\*]. Each Party will promptly notify the other Party
 of any assignment or transfer under the provisions of Section 15.1 (Assignment). This Agreement will be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties and the name of a Party appearing herein will be deemed to include the names

------

**15.2.** **Governing Law**. This Agreement, and all claims arising under or in connection therewith, will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York, without regard to
 conflict of law principles thereof. The provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this Agreement or any subject matter hereof.

**15.3.** **Dispute Resolution**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.3.1.** **Exclusive Dispute Resolution Mechanism**. The Parties agree that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement (including under Section 2.4.2 (Final Decision-Making Authority)), the procedures set forth in
 this Section 15.3 (Dispute Resolution) will be the exclusive mechanism for resolving any dispute, controversy or claim between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) (each, a "**Dispute** ").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.3.2.** **Resolution by Executive Officers**. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 15.3.2 (Resolution by Executive Officers) or as provided in Section 15.3.4 (Preliminary Injunctions), in the event of any Dispute,
 the Parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by negotiation and consultation between themselves. In the event that such Dispute is not resolved on an informal basis within [\*\*\*] Business Days, the Dispute will, by written
 notice from one Party to the other Party, be referred to the Executive Officers of each Party for attempted resolution by good faith negotiation within [\*\*\*] days after such notice is received. Each Party may, in its sole discretion, seek
 resolution of any and all Disputes that are not resolved under this Section 15.3.2 (Resolution by Executive Officers) in accordance with Section 15.3.3 (Litigation).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.3.3.** **Litigation**. With the exception of legal actions, proceedings or claims described in Section 15.3.4 (Preliminary Injunctions) and Section 15.3.5 (Patent and Trademark Disputes) below, any legal action or
 proceedings to resolve a Dispute that was subject to and not resolved under Section 15.3.2 (Resolution by Executive Officers) will be brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction, federal or state, located in New York, New York, and
 in no other jurisdiction. Each Party hereby irrevocably consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in, and irrevocably agrees to service of process issued or authorized by, any such court in any such action or proceeding. The Parties hereby
 irrevocably waive any objection which they may now have or hereafter have to the laying of venue in the federal or state courts of New York in any such action or proceeding, and hereby irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such
 court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Parties hereby agree that any final judgment rendered by any such federal or state court of New York in any action or proceeding
 involving any Dispute, from which no appeal can be or is taken, may be enforced by the prevailing Party in any court of competent jurisdiction. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE AND FOREGO ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.3.4.** **Preliminary Injunctions**. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event of an actual or threatened breach of a Party's covenants or obligations under this Agreement, a
 Party may seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction in order to prevent immediate and irreparable injury, loss or damage on a provisional basis.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.3.5.** **Patent and Trademark Disputes**. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, any and all issues regarding the scope, construction, validity and enforceability of any Patent Right
 or Trademark relating to a Collaboration Product will be determined in a court or other tribunal, as the case may be, of competent jurisdiction under the applicable patent or trademark laws of the country in which such Patent Rights or Trademarks
 were granted or arose.

**15.4.** **Entire Agreement; Amendments**. This Agreement, including its Schedules and Exhibits, contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous and
 contemporaneous arrangements with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral, including the CDA. In the event of any inconsistency between the Development Plan and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will prevail. This
 Agreement may be amended, or any term hereof modified or waived, only by a written instrument duly-executed by authorized representatives of both Parties. For clarity, the Schedules attached hereto (but not Exhibits) may be amended, or any term
 thereof modified, only by a written instrument duly-executed by authorized representatives of both Parties.

**15.5.** **Severability**. If any provision or portion thereof in this Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the same will not affect any other portion of this Agreement and its
 validity, as it is the intent of the Parties that this Agreement will be construed in such fashion as to maintain its existence, validity and enforceability to the greatest extent possible. In any such event, this Agreement will be construed as
 if such provision or portion thereof had never been contained in this Agreement, and there will be deemed substituted therefore such provision as will most nearly carry out the intent of the Parties as expressed in this Agreement to the fullest
 extent permitted by Applicable Law.

**15.6.** **Headings**. The captions to the Sections hereof are not a part of this Agreement, but are merely for convenience to assist in locating and reading the several Sections hereof.

**15.7.** **Waiver of Rule of Construction**. Each Party has had the opportunity to consult with counsel in connection with the review, drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. Accordingly, the rule of construction that

**4.** **Automatic Conversion Terms.** 

**(a) Automatic Conversion**. In the event that, while this Note remains outstanding, the Company (i) undergoes a Public Listing (as defined below) and (ii) following such Public Listing, the 10-Day VWAP (as defined below) first exceeds a price that is 1.5x the Original Offer Price (as defined below) ((i) and (ii), collectively, the "**Automatic Conversion Trigger**"), then (A) the Company will promptly notify the Purchaser in writing of the occurrence of the Automatic Conversion Trigger and (B) the Repayment Amount will be automatically converted into shares of common stock of the Company or its corporate successor (the "**Successor Company**") at a price per share equal to 1.5x the Original Offer Price (as defined below).

**(b)** **Definitions.** 

"**10-Day VWAP**" means, as of a given date, the volume-weighted average sales price per share of common stock of the Company (or its applicable successor entity), taken to four decimal places, on the applicable securities exchange over the 10-consecutive trading day period immediately preceding such date, as calculated by Bloomberg Financial LP under the function "VWAP" (or, if not available, in another authoritative source reasonably selected by the Purchaser).

"**Conversion Price**" means (a) prior to a Public Listing of the Company, the original issue price per share of the Company's then most senior series of preferred stock issued pursuant to a *bona fide* financing transaction (in right of liquidation preference), whether now or hereafter authorized (as such original issue price per share may be adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations, anti-dilution adjustments and the like for such series of preferred stock), or (b) following a Public Listing of the Company, a price per share equal to 1.5x the Original Offer Price (as defined below).

"**Corporate Transaction**" means any of the following: (i) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, (ii) the consummation of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold over 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company or the surviving or acquiring entity), or (iii) the closing of the transfer (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a Person or group of affiliated Persons (other than an underwriter of the Company's securities), of the Company's securities if, after such closing, such Person or group of affiliated Persons would hold more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company (or the surviving or acquiring entity). Notwithstanding the prior sentence, (A) a transaction shall not constitute a Corporate Transaction if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company's incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the Persons who held the Company's securities immediately prior to such transaction; (B) the sale of shares of preferred stock in a *bona fide* financing transaction shall not be deemed a "Corporate Transaction" and (c) a SPAC Transaction shall not be deemed a "Corporate Transaction."

------

"**Person**" means any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company, association or other entity.

"**Public Listing**" means (i) the closing of the issuance and sale of capital stock of the Company in the Company's underwritten initial public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or (ii) any other transaction (A) that is not a Corporate Transaction and (B) as a result of which a class of shares of the Company or any successor entity is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including a SPAC Transaction.

"**SPAC Transaction**" means a transaction or a series of related transactions by merger, consolidation, share exchange or otherwise of the Company with a publicly traded "special purpose acquisition company" or its subsidiary (collectively, a "**SPAC**"), immediately following the consummation of which the common stock or share capital of the SPAC or its successor entity is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange or another exchange or marketplace.

**5. Prepayment**. At any time following a Public Listing of the Company, while this Note remains outstanding, the Company may deliver a written notice to the Purchaser electing to prepay this Note in its entirety (such notice, the "**Prepayment Notice**"). Any such notice must be given at least 15 days in advance of the proposed date of prepayment. If the Purchaser has not exercised its Optional Conversion Right (as defined below) within 15 days following its receipt of the Prepayment Notice, then the Company may pay the Repayment Amount to the Purchaser in its entirety promptly following the end of such 15-day period. Except as set forth in this <u>Section 5</u>, the Repayment Amount may not be prepaid by the Company at any time, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.

**6. Optional Conversion by Purchaser**. At any time while this Note remains outstanding, the Purchaser may elect, by providing written notice thereof to the Company, to receive, in full satisfaction of the Company's obligations under this Note, that number of shares of applicable Conversion Stock obtained by dividing (i) the Repayment Amount by (ii) the applicable Conversion Price, rounded down to the nearest whole share (such right of the Purchaser, the "**Optional Conversion Right**").

**7. Mechanics of Conversion**. Upon conversion of this Note pursuant to the terms hereof, the Purchaser shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the principal offices of the Company or any transfer agent of the Company. At its expense, the Company will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to the Purchaser, at such principal office, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares to which the Purchaser is entitled upon such conversion. Upon conversion of this Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, the Company will be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note with regard to that portion of the Repayment Amount being converted, including without limitation the obligation to pay such portion of the Repayment Amount.

------

**8. Termination of Rights.** All rights with respect to this Note shall terminate upon a payment or conversion in full of this Note pursuant to <u>Sections</u> <u>1</u>, <u>4</u>, <u>5</u> or <u>6</u> above, whether or not this Note has been surrendered.

**9. Default**. Each of the following events shall be an "**Event of Default**" hereunder:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.1** The Company fails to timely pay any of the Repayment Amount due hereunder for more than thirty (30) days after the date that it becomes due and payable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.2** The Company or any of its subsidiaries executes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.3** The Company or any of its subsidiaries files a petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or moratorium law or any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors, now or hereafter in effect, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.4** An involuntary petition is filed against the Company or any of its subsidiaries (unless such petition is dismissed or discharged within 30 days of the filing thereof) under any bankruptcy statute now or hereafter in effect, or a custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors (or other similar official) is appointed to take possession, custody or control of any property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Subject to the provisions hereof, the Purchaser shall have all rights and may exercise any remedies available to it under law, successively or concurrently. If an Event of Default occurs, the Purchaser may, by notice in writing to the Company, accelerate the Maturity Date and declare this Note to be in default and the Repayment Amount to be immediately due and payable in full, whereupon the Notes shall be repaid in cash.

**10. Fractional Shares**. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of fractional shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the price per share of such securities issued to Purchaser upon such conversion.

**11. No Impairment.** Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Purchaser in accordance with <u>Section 15</u> below, the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of any debt or equity securities (or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, such securities) or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Note in order to protect the rights of the Purchaser hereunder against impairment.

**12. Highest Lawful Rate**. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if**,** during any period for which interest is computed hereunder, the amount of interest computed on the basis provided for in this Note, together with all fees, charges, and other payments or rights which are treated as interest under applicable law, as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, would exceed the amount of such interest computed on the basis of the Highest Lawful Rate (as defined below), the Company shall not be obligated to pay, and the Purchaser shall not be entitled to charge, collect, receive, reserve, or take, interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, and during any such period the interest payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of the Highest Lawful Rate. "**Highest Lawful Rate**" means the maximum non-usurious rate of interest, as in effect from time to time, which may be charged, contracted for, reserved, received, or collected by the Purchaser in connection with this Note under applicable law. In accordance with this <u>Section 12</u>, any amounts received in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be applied towards the prepayment of the Principal Amount then outstanding.

------

**13. Fees for Collection.** If an action is instituted by the Purchaser to collect any amounts owed to such Purchaser under this Note, the Company shall pay all costs and expenses of the Purchaser, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred in connection with such action. The Company hereby waives notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices or demands relative to this instrument except those explicitly set forth in this Note and the Note Purchase Agreement. The Company agrees that any delay on the part of the Purchaser in exercising any rights hereunder will not operate as a waiver of such rights.

**14. Governing Law.** This Note shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware as applied to agreements among Delaware residents, made and to be performed entirely within the State of Delaware.

Stockholder Status.** Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Purchaser the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any other rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company, prior to conversion hereof.

**18.** **Unsecured Obligation**. This Note represents an unsecured general obligation of the Company.

**19. Tax Treatment**. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Note is intended to be characterized as debt for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes.

**20. Assignment**. This Note applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds the successors and assigns of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Note or in the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company may not assign its obligations under this Note without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.

 additional royalties and other payments, together with interest from the date when such additional royalties and payments would have been due will be paid within [\*\*\*] days of written notice from the independent auditor of such discrepancy. If
 such examination reveals an overpayment of royalties or other payments due hereunder, Roche will be permitted to offset any such overpayment against any future amounts owed to Freenome. Any such audit is at Freenome's sole expense and
 performed by a nationally recognized accounting firm under reasonable obligations of confidentiality. If an underpayment of more than [\*\*\*] is discovered, then Roche will reimburse Freenome's reasonable costs of the audit. If Roche in good
 faith disputes the conclusion of the auditor that Roche owes additional royalties or other payments, or any specific aspect of the conclusion, then Roche will inform Freenome by written notice within [\*\*\*] days of receiving a copy of the audit
 containing such conclusion, specifying in detail the reasons for Roche disputing such conclusion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.5 Roche will make all payments to the account provided in Section 6.1 in the full amounts as herein specified; provided, however, that deduction may be made from such
 payments by Roche for amounts lawfully required to be withheld and paid by Roche in respect of any income tax levied or assessed upon such payments.

**7. PATENT PROSECUTION AND ENFORCEMENT**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1 Freenome has the sole right and responsibility to and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to, at its own expense, prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the Licensed
 Patents. Freenome will keep Roche fully informed as to patent prosecution of the Licensed Patents and copy Roche on all patent prosecution and maintenance related correspondence with patent offices in the Territory with respect to Licensed
 Patents (including proposed patent filings, allowances, rejections, office actions and proposed responses to office actions with respect thereto). Freenome will not abandon any Licensed Patents (other than abandonments of claims in the
 ordinary course of prosecution) without first obtaining Roche's approval for the same, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. As between the Parties, Freenome will have the right (but not the obligation), at its sole discretion, to
 defend against a declaratory judgment action, post-grant review proceeding, *inter partes* review, opposition proceeding, interference or
 any other legal or administrative action challenging any of the Licensed Patents; provided, however, that in the case of a challenge to a Licensed Patent that is brought as a counterclaim to an action against a Competitive Infringement (as
 defined below) pursuant to Section 7.2, the Party controlling such infringement action shall also control the response to the such counterclaim.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2 The terms of this Section 7.2 shall apply solely upon effectiveness of the Decentralized Field License. The Parties will consult and cooperate with respect to
 enforcement against third party infringement (and settlement of any enforcement action) of the Licensed Patent(s) in the Territory. Each Party will promptly (but no later than [\*\*\*] days from when it becomes aware of the same) notify the other
 Party in writing if it becomes aware of such potential third party infringers. Following the effectiveness of the Decentralized Field License, where Roche has exclusive rights to the Licensed Patent(s), Roche will have the first right (at its
 discretion) to institute at its expense such enforcement of the Licensed Patent(s) suspected of being infringed, solely to the extent such infringement involves an assay for cancer screening and/or early cancer detection ()"**Competitive Infringement** "). If Freenome is a necessary party to such suit, Freenome hereby agrees to be joined as a party in such suit, at
 Roche's expense. If Roche fails to institute such enforcement or otherwise abate such alleged infringement by the earlier of (a) [\*\*\*] days prior to any deadline set forth in any applicable laws or regulations and (b) [\*\*\*] days after first
 learning of such Competitive Infringement, then Freenome will have the right (at its discretion) to institute at its expense such enforcement of the Licensed Patent(s) against such Competitive Infringement. If Roche is a necessary party to
 such suit, Roche hereby agrees to be joined as a party in such suit, at Freenome's expense. Each Party has the right to recover its actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs (or, proportionate share if the recovery from such third party does not
 cover such out-of-pocket costs) incurred by such Party in connection with such litigation or settlement from the proceeds or awards recovered from third party infringers of such Licensed Patent(s) in a Competitive Infringement. Any remaining
 proceeds or awards recovered against infringers of Licensed Patent(s) in a Competitive Infringement will be kept by the Party bringing the enforcement action. For clarity, Freenome shall retain the sole right (at its discretion) to enforce the
 Licensed Patent(s) against any infringement or violation that is not a Competitive Infringement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3 The Parties will consult and cooperate with one another in the perfection of all rights conveyed under Article 5 of the Agreement. The Party owning the rights conveyed
 under Article 5 of the Agreement will bear all costs associated with perfecting those rights.

**8. WARRANTIES AND WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1 Each Party represents and warrants to the other that:

<br> 8.1.1 It has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement; and

<br> 8.1.2 This Agreement does not conflict with any other agreement entered into between the representing Party and any third party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2 Freenome represents and warrants to Roche as of the Effective Date as follows:

<br> 8.2.1 Freenome has all necessary right, title and interest to the Licensed Technology to convey the rights to Roche set forth in this Agreement;

---

---

<br> 8.2.3 To the best of Freenome's knowledge, Roche's exploitation of the Licensed Products as set forth in this Agreement does not infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any intellectual property of any third party;

------

<br> 8.2.4 There are no suits, claims and proceedings pending or threatened against Freenome or any of its Affiliates that Freenome is aware of in any court or by or before any governmental body or agency with respect to the Licensed Technology or the Freenome Assays; and

<br> 8.2.5 The Licensed Technology has not been obtained through any fraudulent activity or misrepresentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.3 EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR EXTENDS ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (AND EACH
 PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES NOT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT), INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY PATENTS OR KNOW-HOW, OR MATERIALS, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY
 PATENTS, TITLE, QUALITY, COMPLETENESS, ACCURACY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, PERFORMANCE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY PATENTS OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING,
 NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE THAT THE ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SUCCESSFUL, THAT ANY OTHER PARTICULAR RESULTS WILL BE ACHIEVED WITH RESPECT TO THE LICENSED PRODUCTS HEREUNDER OR
 THAT THE MILESTONES OR ROYALTIES HEREUNDER WILL BECOME PAYABLE.

**9. TERM AND TERMINATION**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.1 This Agreement will be effective as of the Effective Date and, unless this Agreement is earlier terminated in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
 (i) if Roche exercises the Option and pays the Option Exercise Fee in accordance with Section 2.4, will continue until the expiration of the Royalty Term for all Licensed Products in the Territory, or (ii) if Roche does not exercise the Option
 and pay the Option Exercise Fee in accordance with Section 2.4, will continue until the earlier of (a) [\*\*\*] years following such time when [\*\*\*] or (b) the termination of the SBX Evaluation Plan and SBX Implementation Plan ()"**Term** ").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.2 Freenome shall provide Roche with notice of a Change of Control within [\*\*\*] days after the consummation of such Change of Control. Within [\*\*\*] days of receiving notice
 from Freenome of a Change of Control to any Third Party identified in Exhibit C, Roche may terminate this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.3 Expiration or termination of this Agreement does not affect Roche's obligations pursuant to Articles 2 or 3 to pay any amounts accrued prior to such expiration or
 termination of this Agreement. Article 1 (solely to the extent relating to the other surviving terms), Section 5.1, Section 5.2, Section 5.3, Section 5.4, Section 5.5 (solely to the extent necessary to enable a Party to perform any of its
 other surviving obligations), Section 5.6 (solely to the extent necessary to enable a Party to perform any of its other surviving obligations), Article 6 (solely to the extent relating to the other surviving terms), Section 8.3, this Section
 9.3, Section 9.6, Article 10, Article 11 and Article 12 survive expiration or termination of this Agreement (for the duration stated therein, if specified).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.4 If either Party commits a material breach hereunder, then the other Party shall notify such allegedly breaching Party in writing of such material breach, in which case
 such allegedly breaching Party will have [\*\*\*] days ([\*\*\*] days in the event of any material breach of a payment obligation) to cure such breach. If the allegedly breaching Party fails to cure such material breach within such cure period, then
 the other Party may, at its sole option, terminate this Agreement in whole or in part by sending the allegedly breaching Party written notice of termination. Without limiting the foregoing, if Roche disputes in good faith Freenome's assertion
 of a material breach of a payment provision, then Roche will pay to Freenome during the cure period any amounts not the subject of a good faith dispute.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.5 Freenome may terminate this Agreement in its entirety at any time upon [\*\*\*] days' prior written notice to Roche, if one of the following events occurs
 and Freenome provides such notice no later than [\*\*\*] days after Freenome first obtains actual knowledge that Freenome has such termination right:

<br> 9.5.1 [\*\*\*].

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 9.5.2 | Upon exercise of the Option, Roche or any of its Affiliates (but not for clarity any sublicensee) engages in (or causes or directs any third party, including any sublicensee, to engage in) any Patent Challenge with respect to any Licensed Patent; provided that with respect to any Patent Challenge by any Affiliate, Freenome will not have the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.5 if, within [\*\*\*] days after Freenome's notice to Roche, Roche causes such Patent Challenge to be terminated or dismissed; and provided, further, that this Section 9.5 will not apply to, and Freenome may not terminate this Agreement (and Roche shall have no liability) with respect to (i) any claim or proceeding that would otherwise be a Patent Challenge hereunder to the extent commenced by a Third Party that after the Effective Date acquires or is acquired by Roche or its Affiliates or its or their business or assets, whether by stock purchase, merger, asset purchase, or otherwise; provided that such proceeding commenced prior to the closing of such acquisition, (ii) any Patent Challenge required to be commenced pursuant to an order of a governmental authority or applicable laws or regulations; (iii) challenges by an open forum entity or other industry group in which Roche or its Affiliates or sublicensees do not direct or control the action of such entity; (iv) general activities not specifically directed to a particular Licensed Patent, such as amicus briefs on cases not involving any Licensed Patent; (v) lobbying or other efforts directed to Licensed Patent issues generally and not to any specific Licensed Patent; (vi) any affirmative defense or other validity, enforceability, or non-infringement challenge, whether in the same action or in any other agency or forum of competent jurisdiction, advanced by Roche, any of its Affiliates or its or their sublicensees in response to any claim or action brought in the first instance by, or on behalf of, Freenome; or (vii) providing documents or testimony in response to any discovery requests or court order in a valid legal process. |

---

------

<br> 9.5.3 If Roche has not paid the milestone in Section 3.1.1 on or before the [\*\*\*] anniversary of Roche's exercise of the Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.6 If this Agreement is terminated or expires for any reason, such termination or expiration is without prejudice to rights and obligations that have accrued prior to or
 because of such termination or expiration. If this Agreement expires pursuant to subsection (i) of Section 9.1, licenses granted by Freenome under the Licensed Technology and under Section 5.5 shall continue on a perpetual, royalty-free
 basis. If this Agreement is terminated: (a) except as set forth in Section 9.3, any licenses granted by Freenome under the Licensed Technology shall cease upon the date of the termination, and any licenses granted by Roche to Freenome shall
 cease upon the date of the termination; and (b) unless such termination is by Freenome pursuant to Section 9.4, Roche has the right for [\*\*\*] months from the date of termination to sell or otherwise dispose of all Licensed Products in the
 process of manufacture, testing, in use or in stock, provided that Roche remains obligated to make payment of royalties to Freenome for such Licensed Products, and Roche will immediately cease the manufacturing of new Licensed Products.

**10. INDEMNIFICATION <u>AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.1 Except for losses, liabilities, damages and expenses arising from the occurrences described in Article 10.2(a) and (b), Roche will indemnify and hold Freenome, and
 Freenome's officers, directors, Affiliates, successors and assigns, harmless from all losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising from any claims, demands, actions or other proceedings by
 any third party arising out of or relating to (a) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Roche under this Agreement, (b) willful misconduct or gross negligence of Roche, or (c) Roche's performance, use, importation,
 manufacture, distribution, marketing, sale and offering for sale of the Licensed Products in the Decentralized Field in the Territory.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.2 Except for losses, liabilities, damages and expenses arising from the occurrences described in Article 10.1(a) and 10.1(b), Freenome will indemnify and hold Roche, and
 Roche's officers, directors, Affiliates, successors and assigns, harmless from all losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising from any claims, demands, actions or other proceedings by any
 third party arising out of or relating to (a) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Freenome under this Agreement, (b) willful misconduct or gross negligence of Freenome, or (c) infringement of third party intellectual
 property by the Licensed Product.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.3 A Party seeking indemnification under Article 10.1 or Article 10.2 (an "**Indemnitee** "),
 will notify the other Party (the "**Indemnitor**") upon becoming aware of any claim that may be subject to indemnification under this Article
 10. Failure to provide such notice does not constitute a waiver or release of the Indemnitee's rights to indemnification, except to the extent that such delay or failure materially prejudices the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee will cooperate
 reasonably with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in connection with the investigation and defense of any claim and/or liability covered by this Article 10. Neither Party may enter into any settlement, consent judgment or other
 voluntary final disposition of any claim and/or liability for which an Indemnitee seeks indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, if such settlement would: (a) impose any monetary obligation on the other
 Party or any of its Affiliates, (b) constitute an admission of guilt or wrong-doing by the other Party or any of its Affiliates, or (c) require the other Party or any of its Affiliates to submit to an injunction or otherwise limit the other
 Party's or any of its Affiliates' rights under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.4 <u>LIMITATION OF LIABILITY</u>. NEITHER PARTY HERETO SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER
 PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY,
 NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 10.4 IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR LIABILITY ARISING FROM A PARTY'S BREACH OF ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 11, A PARTY'S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO
 SECTION 10, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

**11. CONFIDENTIALITY**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.1 The Receiving Party will: (a) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, (b) maintain the Disclosing
 Party's Confidential Information in confidence using the same degree of care that the Receiving Party uses for its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in no event using less than reasonable care, and (c) not disclose or
 transfer any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party (or any materials which contain such Confidential Information) to any third party; provided, however, that disclosure is permitted to the Receiving Party's employees, agents or
 permitted sub-contractors, in each case who reasonably require such Confidential Information to exercise Receiving Party's rights and performing its obligations and who are bound by obligations of non-use, non-disclosure and confidentiality
 with respect to such Confidential Information similar to those set forth in this Article 11.1.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.2 The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent required to be disclosed by applicable law, or judicial or governmental
 regulation or order, or the disclosure policies of a major stock exchange, provided that (i) the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party sufficient prior notice (which shall be [\*\*\*] business days, unless a shorter period is reasonably
 necessary to comply with applicable law, or judicial or governmental regulation or order), including a copy of the proposed disclosure, and (ii) if the Disclosing Party contests such disclosure requirement in the Disclosing Party's reasonable
 discretion, then the Receiving Party shall consider in good faith any redactions or comments to the proposed disclosure that are provided by the Disclosing Party, in each case ((i) and (ii)), to the extent permitted under applicable law, or
 judicial or governmental regulation or order, or the disclosure policies of a major stock exchange, as applicable. In the event the Receiving Party ultimately is required to disclose such Confidential Information by applicable law, or judicial
 or governmental regulation or order, the Receiving Party shall disclose only such portion of the Confidential Information as is required to be disclosed as advised by its legal counsel (e.g., if a range of royalty amounts may be disclosed in
 lieu of disclosing the entire royalty provision, then a range will be disclosed) and shall seek, at the Disclosing Party's request and expense, a protective order to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information. Any
 Confidential Information disclosed under this Article 11.2 remains Confidential Information for all other purposes and continue to be subject to the non-use, non-disclosure and confidentiality obligations hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.3 The Receiving Party may disclose the existence and certain terms of this Agreement to actual or *bona fide* potential investors, acquirors, royalty purchasers, and lenders only with the consent of the Disclosing Party, not to be unreasonably withheld.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.4 Receiving Party's obligations of confidentiality, non-use and non-disclosure under this Article 11 with respect to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party
 under this Agreement survives for a period of [\*\*\*] years from the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.5 Each Party is entitled to seek, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have, at law or in equity, a temporary injunction, without the posting of any bond or
 other security, enjoining or restraining the other Party from any violation or threatened violation of this Article 11.

**12. MISCELLANEOUS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.1 The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Roche Affiliate, including any employee or representative thereof, can exercise the rights and perform the obligations of Roche
 under this Agreement; provided, however, that Roche will be responsible for all acts and omissions of such Affiliates, employees and representatives to the same extent as if such acts or omissions were undertaken by Roche.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.2 No failure or delay on the part of either Party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement may be construed or operates as a waiver thereof, nor does any single
 or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude the further exercise of such right or remedy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.3 Neither Party will act or describe itself as the agent of the other, nor will it make or represent that it has authority to make any commitments on the other's behalf.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.4 Any consent, notice or report required or permitted to be given or made under this Agreement by one of the Parties hereto to the other Party must be in writing, sent to
 such other Party at its address indicated below, or to such other address as the addressee has last furnished in writing to the addresser, and is effective upon receipt by the addressee.

|:---|:---|
| $75000000 | November 17, 2025 |

For value received, Freenome Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "**Company**"), hereby promises to pay Roche Holdings, Inc. or its assignees (the "**Purchaser**"), the Repayment Amount (as defined below), including the principal amount of seventy-five million dollars (US $75,000,000) (the "**Principal Amount**"), together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, due and payable on the date and in the manner set forth below.

The following is a statement of the rights of the Purchaser and the conditions to which this senior unsecured convertible promissory note (the "**Note**") is subject, and to which the Purchaser, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:

**1. Maturity Date**. The Repayment Amount (as defined below) shall become due and payable, on May 17, 2027 (the "**Maturity Date**").

**2. Interest**. This Note shall bear interest at the rate of 5% per year calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

**3. Repayment**. The amount payable in satisfaction of this Note, as of any given time, shall be equal to the sum of the (a) then outstanding Principal Amount and (b) then accrued but unpaid interest under this Note ((a) and (b), together, the "**Repayment Amount***"*). Payment shall be made in lawful money of the United States to the Purchaser at such account in the United States as Purchaser shall designate by written notice to the Company.

**4. Automatic Conversion Terms.** While this Note remains outstanding, the Repayment Amount will be automatically converted into shares of Conversion Stock upon the earlier of (a) or (b) as set forth below.

**(a) Public Listing**. In the event that the Company undergoes a Public Listing (as defined below) the "**Automatic Conversion Trigger**"), then (A) the Company will promptly notify the Purchaser in writing of the occurrence of the Automatic Conversion Trigger and (B) the Repayment Amount will be automatically converted into shares of common stock of the Company, its corporate successor or, in the case of a SPAC Transaction, the ultimate surviving parent entity resulting from such SPAC Transaction, (the "**Successor Company**") at a price per share equal to 1.2x the Original Offer Price (as defined below).

------

**(b) Next Equity Financing**. In the event that the Company completes the Next Equity Financing, the Repayment Amount will be automatically converted into Conversion Stock upon the closing of such Next Equity Financing. The number of shares of Conversion Stock to be issued upon such conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Repayment Amount, on the date of conversion, by the Conversion Price. The issuance of Conversion Stock pursuant to the conversion of this Note shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the preferred stock sold in the Next Equity Financing, other than with respect to (i) the per share liquidation preference and the initial conversion price for purposes of price-based anti-dilution protection, which will equal the Conversion Price; and (ii) the basis for any dividend rights, which will be based on the Conversion Price.

**(c)** **Definitions.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account**.

The Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to the Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.6 Restricted Securities**.

The underwriters in connection with the Company's Public Listing are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 9.9 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. The Purchaser further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with the Company's Public Listing that are consistent with this Section 9.9 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto..

In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the securities of the Lender (and the shares or securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.

It is understood that the Securities may bear the following legend (as well as any other required or appropriate state or federal securities or corporate legends):

"THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.4** An involuntary petition is filed against the Company or any of its subsidiaries (unless such petition is dismissed or discharged within 30 days of the filing thereof) under any bankruptcy statute now or hereafter in effect, or a custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors (or other similar official) is appointed to take possession, custody or control of any property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Tenant shall have the right to the nonexclusive use of the common corridors and hallways, stairwells, elevators (if any), restrooms and other public or common areas located within the Building, and the non-exclusive use of those areas located on the Project that are designated by Landlord (and/or any other owners of the Project) from time to time as common areas for the Building or the Project, and access to all planned and future amenities located within the Project; provided, however, that (i) Tenant's use thereof shall be subject to (A) the provisions of any covenants, conditions and restrictions regarding the use thereof now or hereafter recorded against the Project, and (B) such reasonable, non-discriminatory rules and regulations as Landlord may make from time to time (which shall be provided in writing to Tenant), and (ii) except as needed to exercise its rights under Section 24.35, Tenant may not go on the roof of Building or the Other Building without Landlord's prior consent (which may be withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute (but good faith) discretion) and without otherwise being accompanied by a representative of Landlord. Subject to Tenant's roof rights in Section 24.35, Landlord (and/or any other owners of the Project) reserve the right from time to time to use any of the common areas of the Project, and the roof, risers and conduits of Building III and the Other Building for telecommunications and/or any other purposes, and to do any of the following, so long as the same does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of or access to the Premises or Tenant's parking rights and does not materially increase the obligations or materially decrease the rights of Tenant under this Lease: (1) make any changes, additions, improvements, repairs and/or replacements in or to the Project or any portion or elements thereof, including, without limitation, (x) changes in the location, size, shape and number of driveways, entrances, loading and unloading areas, ingress, egress, direction of traffic, landscaped areas, walkways, public and private streets, plazas, courtyards, transportation facilitation areas and common areas, and (y) expanding or decreasing the size of the Project and any common areas and other elements thereof, including adding, deleting and/or excluding buildings (including the Other Building) thereon and therefrom; (2) close temporarily (i.e., for less than one week) any of the common areas while engaged in making repairs, improvements or alterations to the Project; (3) retain and/or form a common area association or associations under covenants, conditions and restrictions to own, manage, operate, maintain, repair and/or replace all or any portion of the landscaping, driveways, walkways, public and private streets, plazas, courtyards, transportation facilitation areas and/or other common areas located outside of the Building and the Other Building and, subject to Article 4 below, include the common area assessments, fees and taxes charged by the association(s) and the cost of maintaining, managing, administering and operating the association(s), in Operating Expenses or Tax Expenses; and (4) perform such other acts and make such other changes with respect to the Project as Landlord may, in the exercise of good faith business judgment, deem to be appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete and open on or before the first to occur of the Building I Lease Commencement Date and the Building III Lease Commencement Date (or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible) the conference center in Building III, the Fitness Center below Building III, and the café and restaurant on the first floor of Building III; and Tenant shall have the right to use the Fitness Center, conference center and restaurant throughout the Lease Term, subject to Landlord's right to relocate the same to other portions of the Project and (b) Tenant shall have the exclusive right to use the balconies in Building I and on the floors of Building III in which the Premises are located. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not permit any unreasonable noise, vibration, odors or other nuisances to enter the Premises from the café, Fitness Center and restaurant.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2 <u>Condition of Premises</u>. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease and in the Tenant Work Letter, Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement, remodeling or refurbishment work or services related to the improvement, remodeling or refurbishment of the Premises, and Tenant shall accept the Premises in its "As Is" condition on the applicable Lease Commencement Date; provided, however, in the event that, during the first twelve (12) months after the applicable Lease Commencement Date, the Base Building (as defined in Section 1 of **<u>Exhibit B</u>**<u>),</u> which includes the Systems and Equipment, the base building HVAC, plumbing, life safety and electrical systems of the Building as well as the Building parking lot, roof and roof membrane, in its condition existing as of such date (A) does not comply with applicable laws, seismic, fire and life safety codes, and the ADA, in effect as of the date hereof, or (B) contains defects, then Landlord shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense which shall not be included in Operating Expenses (except as otherwise permitted in Section 4.2 hereof), for correcting any such non-compliance to the extent required by applicable laws, and/or correcting any such defects as soon as reasonably possible after receiving notice thereof from Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant fails to give Landlord written notice of any such defects described in clause (B) hereinabove within twelve (12) months after the applicable Lease Commencement Date, then the correction of any such defects shall, subject to Landlord's repair obligations in Section 7.2 hereof (and to the extent such correction is a responsibility of Tenant pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof), be Tenant's responsibility at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant also acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises, the Building, or the Project or their condition, or with respect to the suitability thereof for the conduct of Tenant's business (including, but not limited to, any zoning/conditional use permit requirements which shall be Tenant's responsibility and Tenant's failure to obtain any such zoning/use permits (if any are required) shall not affect Tenant's obligations under this Lease). Subject to Landlord's delivery obligations hereunder, the taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall conclusively establish that the Premises, the Building and the Project were at such time complete and in good, sanitary and satisfactory condition and without any obligation on Landlord's part to make any alterations, upgrades or improvements thereto. For purposes of Section 1938(a) of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp). In addition, the following notice is hereby provided pursuant to Section 1938(e) of the California Civil Code:

"A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3 <u>Rentable Square Feet</u>. The rentable square feet of the Premises is approximately as set forth in Section 6.1 of the Summary. Such square footage figure shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant for the entire Lease Term absent a casualty or condemnation that affects the actual size of the Premises or an actual change in the size of the Building or the Project. In any such event, the rentable square feet of the Premises and the Building shall be calculated by Landlord using a commercially reasonable measurement method that is substantially consistent with then industry custom and practice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.4 <u>Fitness Center</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.4.1 <u>Fitness Center</u>. Provided Tenant's employees execute landlord's standard waiver of liability form, during the term of this Lease Tenant's employees (the "**Fitness Center Users**") shall be entitled to use the fitness center (the "**Fitness Center**") in the Project at no additional charge. The use of the Fitness Center shall be subject to the rules and regulations (including rules regarding hours of use) established from time to time by landlord for the Fitness Center. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the use of the Fitness Center by the Fitness Center Users shall be at their own risk and that for purposes of Section 10.1, the use of the Fitness Center by Tenant's employees shall constitute a use of the Project by Tenant. The costs of operating, maintaining and repairing the Fitness Center may be included in Operating Expenses. Subject to Force Majeure events and Landlord's rights set forth below, Landlord shall continuously maintain the Fitness Center (or any other fitness facility) throughout the term of this Lease. During the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to reconfigure/relocate the Fitness Center in its discretion; provided that the size of the Fitness Center is not materially smaller in size than the Fitness Center initially constructed by Landlord.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.4.2 <u>Release</u>. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant hereby unconditionally releases Landlord and its property manager and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, "**Landlord Parties**"), from all fines, suits, losses, liabilities, expenses, claims, costs (including attorneys' fees and court costs) demands, actions, or causes of actions, of any kind without regard to the cause or causes thereof, or the negligence of one or more of the Landlord Parties, for damage to property, or injury or death to any person arising from, growing out of, or in any way related to the use of the Fitness Center by Tenant, its officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, employees, agents, invitees, visitors, licensees and customers, in addition, Tenant waives any claims it may have against the Landlord Parties arising out of or related to loss (by theft or otherwise) or damage to any property brought to the Fitness Center by Tenant or its officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, employees, agents, invitees, visitors, licensees and customers. Tenant expressly waives all rights under the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, Section 1542 of the California Civil Code provides that "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or expect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release which, if known by him, must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5 <u>Right of First Refusal</u>. Commencing as of the thirty-seventh (37<sup>th</sup>) monthly anniversary of the Building I Lease Commencement Date ("**Right of First Refusal Period**"), Tenant shall have an ongoing (subject to the terms hereof) right of first refusal with respect to space located on the third (<sup>3rd</sup>) floor of Building III (the "**First Refusal Space**"). During the period from the date hereof and continuing until the commencement of the Right of First Refusal Period, Landlord shall have the right to lease the First Refusal Space for third party leases expiring, unless Tenant has exercised Tenant's Termination Option (in which case there shall be no such term limitations), on or before the commencement of the Right of First Refusal Period, as defined below (and Landlord shall not be obligated to provide Tenant with any First Refusal Notice during such period); provided, however, in the event Tenant exercises Tenant's Termination Option with respect to any portion of Building III then Tenant's right of first refusal shall commence on August 1, 2022. Tenant's right of first refusal shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5.1 <u>Procedure for Refusal</u>. Between the 37<sup>th</sup> and 48<sup>th</sup> months following the Building I Lease Commencement Date, Landlord shall offer the First Refusal Space for lease to third parties. During the Right of First Refusal Period, Landlord shall notify Tenant (the "**First Refusal Notice**") when Landlord receives a bona fide offer from a prospective third party tenant that Landlord is willing to accept for the First Refusal Space and/or when Landlord intends to submit a bona fide counteroffer which Landlord would be willing to accept and, to Landlord's actual knowledge, the prospective third party tenant would accept. The economic terms and conditions of Tenant's lease of such First Refusal Space shall be as provided in Landlord's First Refusal Notice ("**First Refusal Economic Terms**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5.2 <u>Procedure for Acceptance</u>. If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant's right of first refusal with respect to the space described in the First Refusal Notice, then within seven (7) days after delivery of the First Refusal Notice to Tenant ("**Election Date**"), Tenant shall deliver an unconditional, irrevocable notice ("**ROFR Exercise Notice**") to Landlord of Tenant's exercise of its right of first refusal with respect to the entire space described in the First Refusal Notice and on the First Refusal Economic Terms contained therein. If Tenant does not exercise its right of first refusal within such seven (7) day time period (on all of the First Refusal Economic Terms), then Landlord shall be free to lease the space described in the First Refusal Notice to anyone to whom Landlord desires on any terms Landlord desires; provided, however, that if Landlord intends to enter into a lease upon First Refusal Economic Terms which are, in the aggregate, materially more favorable to a prospective tenant than those First Refusal Economic Terms proposed by Landlord in the First Refusal Notice to Tenant, then Landlord shall first deliver written notice to Tenant ("**Second Chance Notice**") providing Tenant with the opportunity to lease the First Refusal Space on such more favorable First Refusal Economic Terms (such more favorable terms in the Second Chance Notice are referred to herein as the "Second Chance Economic Terms"). For purposes hereof, Second Chance Economic Terms shall be materially more favorable to a third party if such Second Chance Economic Terms reflect a net effective rental rate (including any rent abatement and tenant improvement costs/allowance and any other economic concessions) less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the net effective rental rate for such First Refusal Space as the First Refusal Economic Terms initially proposed by Landlord in the First Refusal Notice. Tenant's failure to elect to lease the First Refusal Space upon such Second Chance Economic Terms by written notice to Landlord within seven (7) days after Tenant's receipt of such Second Chance Notice from Landlord shall be deemed to constitute Tenant's election not to lease such space upon such Second Chance Economic Terms, in which case Landlord shall be entitled to lease such space to any third party on any terms Landlord desires subject to Landlord's obligations to deliver Tenant a further Second Chance Notice under the circumstances set forth in the preceding two (2) sentences. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant must elect to exercise its right of first refusal, if at all, with respect to all of the space comprising the First Refusal Space (but only space located in the Project) offered by Landlord to Tenant at any particular time (including any space in the Project which is not part of the First Refusal Space), and Tenant may not elect to lease only a portion thereof or, except as provided in Section 1.5.4 below, object to any of the First Refusal Economic Terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5.3 <u>Construction of First Refusal Space</u>. Tenant shall take the First Refusal Space in its "As-Is" condition (except as otherwise provided in the First Refusal Notice), and Tenant shall be entitled to construct improvements in the First Refusal Space at Tenant's expense, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Article 8 of this Lease.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5.4 <u>Lease of First Refusal Space</u>. If Tenant timely exercises Tenant's right to lease the First Refusal Space as set forth herein, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment adding such First Refusal Space to this Lease upon the First Refusal Economic Terms set forth in Landlord's First Refusal Notice and upon the same non-economic terms and conditions as applicable to the Premises then leased by Tenant under this Lease. Unless otherwise specified in the First Refusal Notice, Tenant shall commence payment of rent for the First Refusal Space and the Lease Term of the First Refusal Space shall commence upon the date of delivery of such First Refusal Space to Tenant. The Lease Term for the First Refusal Space shall be as provided in the First Refusal Economic Terms; provided, however, notwithstanding the First Refusal Economic Terms, in the event the term of the lease for the First Refusal Space is shorter than the term of this Lease, then Tenant shall have the right, in the ROFR Exercise Notice, to lengthen the term of the First Refusal Space such that the term for the First Refusal Space will be coterminous with the Lease Term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5.5 <u>No Defaults</u>. The rights contained in this Section 1.5 shall be personal to the original Tenant executing this Lease ("**Original Tenant**") and any Affiliate Assignee, and may not be exercised by the Original Tenant or such Affiliate Assignee (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant's interest (or Affiliate Assignee's interest) in this Lease) if the Original Tenant or such Affiliate Assignee has subleased more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises then leased by Original Tenant or such Affiliate Assignee as of the date of Tenant's exercise of its right of first refusal. In addition, at Landlord's option and in addition to Landlord's other remedies set forth in this Lease, at law and/or in equity, Tenant shall not have the right to lease the First Refusal Space as provided in this Section 1.5 if, as of the date of the First Refusal Notice, or, at Landlord's option, as of the scheduled date of delivery of such First Refusal Space to Tenant, Tenant is in default under this Lease beyond the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5.6 <u>Remedy</u>. The sole remedy of Tenant for a breach by Landlord of its obligations under this Section 1.5 shall be an action against Landlord for direct damages (excluding consequential and punitive damages), and for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, injunction or specific performance, but no other remedy, equitable or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.6 <u>Landlord Charging Stations</u>. Landlord shall install, at Landlord's sole cost, not less than forty (40) electric vehicle charging stations at the Project for the use, on a first-come, first-served basis, of persons working at the Project who drive electric vehicles ("**Landlord Charging Stations**"). No Tenant Party shall have the right to use the Landlord Charging Stations prior to the execution by such Tenant Party of a written agreement prepared by Landlord governing such person's right to use the Landlord Charging Stations (the "**Electric Vehicle Charging Agreement**"). The terms and conditions of the Electric Vehicle Charging Agreement shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable discretion. The cost of installing, operating, maintaining and repairing the Landlord Charging Stations may be included in Operating Expenses, less any revenue received by Landlord therefrom. Landlord will continuously maintain during the term of this Lease Landlord Charging Stations and use commercially reasonable efforts to monitor their usage to ensure efficient use thereof, but Landlord shall have the right without liability to Tenant, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, to change the type or location of Landlord Charging Stations from time to time. Tenant's obligations under this Lease are not contingent or conditioned upon the ability of Tenant Parties to use the Landlord Charging Stations or upon the existence of Landlord Charging Stations. Subject to Tenant's compliance with the terms and conditions of Article 8, Landlord hereby approves, in concept, of Tenant installing electric vehicle charging stations in Tenant's reserved parking spaces.

If Landlord does not deliver possession of the Building I Premises to Tenant on or before the Anticipated Building I Delivery Date in the condition required in **<u>Exhibit B</u>** attached hereto, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability nor shall the validity of this Lease nor the obligations of Tenant hereunder be affected; provided that if Landlord does not deliver possession of (a) the Building I Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition on or before the sixtieth (60<sup>th</sup>) day following the Anticipated Building I Delivery Date (set forth in Section 7.2 of the Summary), subject to deferral for any Tenant Delays and any Force Majeure delays (as defined in Section 24.17 hereof but not to exceed ninety (90) days of Force Majeure delays for reasons other than regulations and restrictions related to COVID-19 or any variant thereof or other pandemic not in effect as of the date hereof (collectively, the "**New Pandemic Exceptions**"), then Tenant shall receive one (1) Free Rent Day (as hereinafter defined) for each day that elapses from and after the sixtieth (60<sup>th</sup>) day following the Anticipated Building I Delivery Date until and including the date on which Landlord delivers possession of the Building I Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition, and (b) the Building I Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition on or before the one hundred twentieth (120<sup>th</sup>) day following the Anticipated Building I Delivery Date (set forth in Section 7.2 of the Summary), subject to deferral for any Tenant Delays and any Force Majeure delays (but not to exceed ninety (90) days for reasons other than the New Pandemic Exceptions), then Tenant shall receive two (2) Free Rent Days for each day that elapses from and after the one hundred twentieth (120<sup>th</sup>) day following the Anticipated Building I Delivery Date until and including the date on possession of the Building I Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition; (c) the Building III Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition on or before the sixtieth (60<sup>th</sup>) day following the Anticipated Building III Delivery Date (set forth in Section 7.3 of the Summary), subject to deferral for any Tenant Delays and any Force Majeure delays (but not to exceed ninety (90) days for reasons other than the New Pandemic Exceptions), then Tenant shall receive one (1) Free Rent Day (as hereinafter defined) for each day that elapses from and after the sixtieth (60<sup>th</sup>) day following the Anticipated Building III Delivery Date until and including the date on which Landlord delivers possession of the Building III Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition; and (d) the Building III Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition on or before the one hundred twentieth (120<sup>th</sup>) day following the Anticipated Building III Delivery Date (set forth in Section 7.3 of the Summary), subject to deferral for any Tenant Delays and any Force Majeure delays (but not to exceed ninety (90) days for reasons other than the New Pandemic Exceptions), then Tenant shall receive two (2) Free Rent Days for each day that elapses from and after the one hundred twentieth (120<sup>th</sup>) day following the Anticipated Building III Delivery Date until and including the date on possession of the Building III Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition.

A "**Free Rent Day**" means a day for which Tenant has no obligation to pay Base Rent nor Additional Rent as to the Building I Premises after the Building I Anticipated Lease Commencement Date or as to the Building III Premises after the Building III Anticipated Lease Commencement Date, and all Free Rent Days shall be applied as soon as possible following the applicable Lease Commencement Date (and the full amount of the Abated Rent shall be applied thereafter).

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary and in addition to Tenant's other rights and remedies, if the topping out of steel in a Building has not occurred within two hundred seventy (270) days of the date set forth in Landlord's Schedule (defined in **<u>Exhibit B</u>**<u>)</u> (as such time period shall be extended due to Tenant Delays and Force Majeure delays (but not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days for reasons other than the New Pandemic Exceptions)), then in addition to Tenant's other rights or remedies, Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord, whereupon any monies previously paid by Tenant to Landlord shall be reimbursed to Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.4 <u>Amenities Delivery Delays</u>. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, (i) in the event the Fitness Center is not substantially completed by Landlord and operational on or before the date Tenant has substantially completed the Tenant Improvements in the Premises and commenced business operations in the Premises, then Tenant shall be entitled to a Base Rent credit equal to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) per month and (ii) in the event the café and restaurant are not substantially completed by Landlord and operational on or before the date Tenant has substantially completed the Tenant Improvements in the Premises and commenced business operations in the Premises, then Tenant shall be entitled to a Base Rent credit equal to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) per month; such Base Rent credits shall be prorated for partial months.

If Tenant fails to execute and return the amendment within such 10-business day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved and confirmed the dates set forth therein, provided that such deemed approval shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to execute and return the amendment (and such failure shall constitute a default by Tenant hereunder after the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2 <u>Tenant's Partial Termination Option</u>. Provided Tenant fully and completely satisfies each of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.2, Tenant shall have the one-time option ("**Termination Option**") to terminate Tenant's lease of Building III (or terminate any contiguous full floor increment leased by Tenant in Building III) effective as of the date set forth in Tenant's Termination Notice (the "**Termination Date**"), but no later than July 31, 2022 (the "**Outside Termination Date**").

In order to exercise the Termination Option, Tenant must fully and completely satisfy each and every one of the following conditions: (i) Tenant must give Landlord written notice ("**Termination Notice**") of its exercise of the Termination Option, which Termination Notice must be delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) business days prior to the Termination Date (and which Termination Notice shall specify the portion(s) of Building III which is being terminated) (the "**Terminated Space**") and (ii) at the time of the Termination Notice, Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease after expiration of applicable cure periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.2 <u>Base Rent Adjustment</u>. If Tenant exercises the Termination Option, Base Rent in Section 8.2 of the Summary shall be adjusted to remove the square footage of the Terminated Space. In the event the Termination Space consists of the entire Premises located in Building III, then the initial Base Rent set forth in Section 8.1 of the Summary shall be increased by Fourteen Cents ($0.14) per rentable square foot per month. In the event the Termination Space consists of three (3) floors in Building III, the initial Base Rent set forth in Section 8 of the Summary shall be increased by Twelve Cents ($0.12) per rentable square foot per month. In the event the Termination Space consists of two (2) floors in Building III, then the initial Base Rent set forth in Section 8 of the Summary shall be increased by Ten Cents ($0.10) per rentable square foot per month. In the event the Termination Space consists of one (1) floor in Building III, then the initial Base Rent set forth in Section 8 of the Summary shall be increased by Eight Cents ($0.08) per rentable square foot per month. Any such increase in Base Rent shall, at Landlord's option, be memorialized in an amendment to this Lease (which Tenant shall execute within ten (10) business days after receipt thereof).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.3 <u>Reduction of Allowances</u>. In the event of any such termination pursuant to this Section 2.2, the Tenant Improvement Allowance, and, if applicable, the Additional Allowance shall be deemed reduced on a proportionate basis based on the reduction of rentable square feet in the Premises. Any such reduction in the Tenant Improvement Allowance, and, if applicable, the Additional Allowance shall, at Landlord's option, be memorialized in an amendment to this Lease (which Tenant shall execute within ten (10) business days after receipt thereof). In the event Landlord has, prior to the Termination Date, disbursed any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and/or the Additional Allowance pertaining to the Terminated Space then such disbursed amount shall be deducted from any remaining portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and Additional Allowance.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.4 <u>General</u>. If Tenant properly and timely exercises its Termination Option in this Section 2.2 in strict accordance with the terms hereof, this Lease (as it pertains to the Terminated Space which is the subject of the Termination Option) shall expire at midnight on the Termination Date. Upon such termination of this Lease (as it pertains to the applicable portion of the Terminated Space which is the subject of any such Termination Option), the parties shall be relieved of all further obligations under this Lease (as it pertains to the Terminated Space which is the subject of the Termination Option) except for those obligations under this Lease which expressly survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and all references in this Lease to "Premises" shall exclude the Terminated Space, and Tenant's Share and the amount of the L-C Amount and Reduction L-C Amount shall be proportionately reduced.

**<u>ARTICLE 3</u>**

**<u>BASE RENT</u>**

Tenant shall pay, without notice or demand, to Landlord via ACH or at the address set forth in Section 3 of the Summary, or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, in currency or a check for currency which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for private or public debts in the United States of America, base rent ("Base Rent") as set forth in Section 8 of the Summary, payable in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 8 of the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and every month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever. On or before the earlier to occur of the Building I Delivery Date or the Building III Delivery Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an amount equal to the Base Rent payable by Tenant for the Premises for the first (1<sup>st</sup>) full month of the Lease Term for the entire Premises (<u>i.e.</u>, $2,213,765.40), which shall be applied to Base Rent first coming due under this Lease. If any rental payment date (including the applicable Lease Commencement Date) falls on a day of the month other than the first day of such month or if any rental payment is for a period which is shorter than one month, then the rental for any such fractional month shall be a proportionate amount of a full calendar month's rental based on the proportion that the number of days in such fractional month bears to the number of days in the calendar month during which such fractional month occurs. All other payments or adjustments required to be made under the terms of this Lease that require proration on a time basis shall be prorated on the same basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and so long as Tenant is not then in default under this Lease (beyond the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods), Landlord hereby agrees to abate Tenant's obligation to pay (i) with respect to the Building I Premises, one hundred percent (100%) of Tenant's monthly Base Rent during the period which is the first (1<sup>st</sup>), second (2<sup>nd</sup>), third (3<sup>rd</sup>), fourth (4<sup>th</sup>), fifth (5<sup>th</sup>) and sixth (6<sup>th</sup>) full calendar months of the initial Lease Term after the Building I Lease Commencement Date (for the Building I Premises), and fifty percent (50%) of Tenant's monthly Base Rent during the period which is the seventh (7<sup>th</sup>), eighth (8<sup>th</sup>), ninth (9<sup>th</sup>), tenth (10<sup>th</sup>), eleventh (11<sup>th</sup>) and twelfth (12<sup>th</sup>) full calendar months of the initial Lease Term after the Building I Lease Commencement Date (for the Building I Premises), and (ii) with respect to the Building III Premises, one hundred percent (100%) of Tenant's monthly Base Rent during the period which is the first (1<sup>st</sup>), second (2<sup>nd</sup>), third (3<sup>rd</sup>), fourth (4<sup>th</sup>), fifth (5<sup>th</sup>) and sixth (6<sup>th</sup>) full calendar months after the Building III Lease Commencement Date (for the Building III Premises), and fifty percent (50%) of Tenant's monthly Base Rent during the period which is the seventh (7<sup>th</sup>), eighth (8<sup>th</sup>), ninth (9<sup>th</sup>), tenth (10<sup>th</sup>), eleventh (11<sup>th</sup>) and twelfth (12<sup>th</sup>) full calendar months of the Lease Term after the Building III Lease Commencement Date (for the Building III Premises) (collectively the "**Abated Rent**"). During such abatement period, Tenant shall still be responsible for the payment of all of its other monetary obligations under this Lease. In the event of a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease that results in early termination pursuant to the provisions of Article 19 of this Lease, then as part of the recovery set forth in Article 19 of this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the recovery of the unamortized portion of the Abated Rent that was abated under the provisions of this Article 3.

The Base Rent and Additional Rent are herein collectively referred to as the "**Rent**." All amounts due under this Article 4 as Additional Rent shall be payable for the same periods and in the same manner, time and place as the Base Rent. Without limitation on other obligations of Tenant which shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term, the obligations of Tenant to pay the Additional Rent provided for in this Article 4 shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2 <u>Definitions</u>. As used in this Article 4, the following terms shall have the meanings hereinafter set forth:

and (xi) the costs and expenses of complying with, or participating in, conservation, recycling, sustainability, energy efficiency, waste reduction or other programs or practices implemented or enacted from time to time at the Building and/or Project, including, without limitation, in connection with any LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating or compliance system or program, including that currently coordinated through the U.S. Green Building Council or Energy Star rating and/or compliance system or program (collectively, "**Conservation Costs**"). If Landlord is not furnishing any particular work or service (the cost of which, if performed by Landlord, would be included in Operating Expenses) to a tenant who has undertaken to perform such work or service in lieu of the performance thereof by Landlord, Operating Expenses shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the additional Operating Expenses which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if it had at its own expense furnished such work or service to such tenant. If any of (x) the Building, (y) the Other Building (but only during the period of time the same is included by Landlord within the Project) and (z) any additional buildings are added to the Project pursuant to Section 1.1.3 above (but only during the period of time after such additional buildings have been fully constructed and ready for occupancy and are included by Landlord within the Project) are less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during all or a portion of any Expense Year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the variable components of Operating Expenses for such year or applicable portion thereof, employing sound accounting and management principles, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been paid had the Building, the Other Building and such additional buildings (if any) been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied; and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for such year, or applicable portion thereof.

------

Subject to the provisions of Section 4.3.4 below, Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably allocate some or all of the Operating Expenses (and/or Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs) between the Building and the Other Building and/or among different tenants of the Project and/or among different buildings of the Project as and when such different buildings are constructed and added to (and/or excluded from) the Project or otherwise (the "Cost Pools"). Such Cost Pools may also include an allocation of certain Operating Expenses (and/or Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs) within or under covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Project. In addition, subject to the provisions of Section 4.3.4 below, Landlord shall have the right from time to time, in its reasonable discretion, to include or exclude existing or future buildings in the Project for purposes of determining Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs and/or the provision of various services and amenities thereto, including allocation of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs in any such Cost Pools.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operating Expenses shall not, however, include: (A) costs of leasing commissions, attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with negotiations or disputes with present or prospective tenants or other occupants of the Project; (B) costs (including permit, license and inspection costs) incurred in renovating or otherwise improving, decorating or redecorating rentable space for other tenants or vacant rentable space; (C) costs incurred due to the violation by Landlord of the terms and conditions of any lease of space in the Project; (D) costs of overhead or profit increment paid to Landlord or to subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord for services in or in connection with the Project to the extent the same exceeds the costs of overhead and profit increment included in the costs of such services which could be obtained from third parties on a competitive basis; (E) costs of interest on debt or amortization on any mortgages, and rent payable under any ground lease of the Project; (F) Utilities Costs; (G) Tax Expenses; (H) costs occasioned by casualties or condemnation; (I) costs to correct violation of law applicable to the Premises or the Project on the applicable Lease Commencement Date: (J) costs incurred in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Materials, except to the extent caused by the release or emission of the Hazardous Material in question by Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties; (K) expense reserves; (L) costs which could properly be capitalized under generally accepted accounting principles, except as specifically provided in 4.2.3(x), above, and only to the extent amortized over the useful life of the capital item in question; (M) costs for services not provided to Tenant under this Lease or are of a nature that are paid directly by Tenant; (N) profit by Landlord for managing or administering the Project except as set forth in Section 4.2.3(v) above; and (O) any costs related to construction of the Project, including the Fitness Center and any other buildings or completion of the work described in Sections 1.1.3 or 24.30 or **<u>Exhibit B</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.4 "**Systems and Equipment**" shall mean any plant (including any central plant), machinery, transformers, duct work, cable, wires, and other equipment, facilities, and systems designed to supply heat, ventilation, air conditioning and humidity or any other services or utilities, or comprising or serving as any component or portion of the electrical, gas, steam, plumbing, sprinkler, communications, alarm, lab, security, or fire/life safety systems or equipment, or any other mechanical, electrical, electronic, computer or other systems or equipment which serve the Building and/or any other building in the Project in whole or in part.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.5 "**Tax Expenses**" shall mean all federal, state, county, or local governmental or municipal taxes, fees, assessments, charges or other impositions of every kind and nature, whether general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, (including, without limitation, real estate taxes, general and special assessments, transit assessments, fees and taxes, child care subsidies, fees and/or assessments, job training subsidies, fees and/or assessments, open space fees and/or assessments, housing subsidies and/or housing fund fees or assessments, public art fees and/or assessments, leasehold taxes or taxes based upon the receipt of rent, including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent, personal property taxes imposed upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and equipment, appurtenances, furniture and other personal property used in connection with the Project), which Landlord shall pay during any Expense Year because of or in connection with the ownership, leasing and operation of the Project or Landlord's interest therein. For purposes of this Lease, Tax Expenses shall be calculated as if (i) the tenant improvements in the Building, the Other Building and any additional buildings added to the Project pursuant to Section 1.1.3 above (but only during the period of time that such Other Building and additional buildings are included by Landlord within the Project) were fully constructed, and (ii) the Project, the Building, the Other Building and such additional buildings (if any) and all tenant improvements therein were fully assessed for real estate tax purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.5.1 Tax Expenses shall include, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any tax on Landlord's rent, right to rent or other income from the Project or as against Landlord's business of leasing any of the Project;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election ("Proposition 13") and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants. It is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies, and charges and all similar assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the definition of Tax Expenses for purposes of this Lease;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any gross income tax upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Any reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in attempting to protest, reduce or minimize Tax Expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.5.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.2.5, there shall be excluded from Tax Expenses (i) all excess profits taxes, transfer taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state net income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord's net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Project), (ii) any items included as Operating Expenses, (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.4 below, and (iv) any assessments in excess of the amount which would be payable if such assessments were paid in installments over the longest permitted term but only to the extent the payment of such assessments is allowed to be paid in installments without any additional costs other than normal interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.6 "Tenant's Share" shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 9 of the Summary. Tenant's Share was calculated by dividing the number of rentable square feet of the Premises by the total rentable square feet in the Building (as set forth in Section 9 of the Summary), and stating such amount as a percentage. Subject to the terms of Section 9 of the Summary and Section 1.3 above, Tenant's Share as set forth in Section 9 of the Summary shall be binding on the parties for the entire Term. If Tenant's Share is adjusted pursuant to Section 1.3 above then, as to the Expense Year in which such adjustment occurs, Tenant's Share for such year shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during such Expense Year that each such Tenant's Share was in effect but only to the extent the payment of such assessments in installments was allowed under applicable laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.7 "**Utilities Costs**" shall mean all actual charges for utilities for the Building and the Project (including utilities for the Other Building and additional buildings, if any, added to the Project during the period of time the same are included by Landlord within the Project) which Landlord shall pay during any Expense Year, including, but not limited to, the costs of water, sewer, gas and electricity, and the costs of HVAC and other utilities, including any lab utilities and central plant utilities (but excluding those charges for which tenants directly reimburse Landlord or otherwise pay directly to the utility company) as well as related fees, assessments, measurement meters and devices and surcharges. Utilities Costs shall be calculated assuming the Building (and, during the period of time when such buildings are included by Landlord within the Project, the Other Building and any additional buildings, if any, added to the Project) are at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied. If, during all or any part of any Expense Year, Landlord shall not provide any utilities (the cost of which, if provided by Landlord, would be included in Utilities Costs) to a tenant (including Tenant) who has undertaken to provide the same instead of Landlord, Utilities Costs shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the additional Utilities Costs which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if Landlord had at its own expense provided such utilities to such tenant. Utilities Costs shall include any costs of utilities which are allocated to the Project under any declaration, restrictive covenant, or other instrument pertaining to the sharing of costs by the Project or any portion thereof, including any covenants, conditions or restrictions now or hereafter recorded against or affecting the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Utilities Costs shall not include: (A) any costs that would be considered a capital expenditure (with such costs treated, instead, as Operating Expenses, as allowed under Section 4.2.3 above), (B) any connection fees, tap-in fees, or other fees for service to the Project not in existence as of the applicable Lease Commencement Date or (C) costs for services or utilities not provided to Tenant under this Lease or of a nature that are paid directly by Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3 <u>Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3.1 <u>Payment of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs</u>. For each Expense Year ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the following, which payment shall be made in the manner set forth in Section 4.3.2 below: (i) Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below; plus (ii) Tenant's Share of Tax Expenses allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below; plus (iii) Tenant's Share of Utilities Costs allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3.2 <u>Statement of Actual Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs and Payment by Tenant</u>. Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant on or before the first (1<sup>st</sup>) day of June following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the "**Statement**") which shall state the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year that are allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below, and which shall indicate therein Tenant's Share thereof. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the full amount of the Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as the Estimated Expenses as defined in and pursuant to Section 4.3.3 below. If any Statement reflects that Tenant has overpaid Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and/or Tenant's Share of Tax Expenses and/or Tenant's Share of Utilities Costs for such Expense Year, then Landlord shall, at Landlord's option, either (i) remit such overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such applicable Statement is delivered to Tenant, or (ii) credit such overpayment toward the Rent next due and payable by Tenant under this Lease. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord from enforcing its rights under this Article 4; provided, however, Tenant shall not be required to pay for any Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses or Utilities Costs until thirty (30) days after receipt of such Statement as provided in the second sentence of this Section 4.3.2 (and Estimated Expenses as provided in Section 4.3.3). Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, if the Statement for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates reflects that Tenant has overpaid and/or underpaid Tenant's Share of the Operating Expenses and/or Tenant's Share of Tax Expenses and/or Tenant's Share of Utilities Costs for such Expense Year, then within thirty (30) days after Landlord's delivery of such Statement to Tenant, Landlord shall refund to Tenant any such overpayment, or Tenant shall pay to Landlord any such underpayment, as the case may be. Tenant's failure to object any Statement within twelve (12) months after Tenant's receipt thereof shall constitute Tenant's irrevocable waiver to object to the same. Subject to the terms of Section 4.6. The provisions of this Section 4.3.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall not be responsible for Tenant's Share of any Operating Expenses, Utilities Costs or Tax Expenses attributable to any calendar year which was first billed to Tenant more than twenty-four (24) months after the date (the "**Cutoff Date**") which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the applicable calendar year or (i) the Lease Expiration Date, except that Tenant shall be responsible for Tenant's Share of any Operating Expenses, Utilities Costs and Tax Expenses levied by any governmental authority or by any public utility company at any time following the applicable Cutoff Date which are attributable to any calendar year occurring prior to such Cutoff Date, so long as Landlord delivers to tenant a bill and supplemental statement for such amounts within ninety (90) days following Landlord's receipt of the applicable bill therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3.3 <u>Statement of Estimated Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs</u>. Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the "**Estimate Statemen**t") which shall set forth Landlord's reasonable estimate (the "**Estimate**") of the total amount of Tenant's Share of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below for the then-current Expense Year shall be, and which shall indicate therein Tenant's Share thereof (the "**Estimated Expenses**"). The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Expenses under this Article 4. Following Landlord's delivery of the Estimate Statement for the then-current Expense Year, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days thereafter, a fraction of the Estimated Expenses for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.3.3). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year to the month of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Expenses set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3.4 <u>Allocation of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs to Building</u>. The parties acknowledge that the Building is part of a multi-building commercial project consisting of the Building, and the Other Building and such other buildings as Landlord (and/or any other owners of the Project) may elect to construct and include as part of the Project from time to time (the Other Building and any such other buildings are sometimes referred to herein, collectively, as the "**Other Buildings**"), and that certain of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project <u>(i.e.</u> the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs) shall be shared among the Building and/or such Other Buildings, while certain other costs and expenses which are solely attributable to the Building and such Other Buildings, as applicable, shall be allocated directly to the Building and the Other Buildings, respectively. Accordingly, as set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 above, Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs are determined annually for the Project as a whole, and a portion of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs, which portion shall be determined by Landlord on an equitable basis, shall be allocated to the Building (as opposed to the tenants of the Other Buildings), and such portion so allocated shall be the amount of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs payable with respect to the Building upon which Tenant's Share shall be calculated. Such portion of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs allocated to the Building shall include all Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs which are attributable solely to the Building, and an equitable portion of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs attributable to the Project as a whole and shall not include Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses or Utilities Costs related solely to Other Buildings. In addition, all utilities shall be separately metered or sub-metered to the Premises and Tenant shall pay such metered amounts rather than a share of the utilities used by other tenants. As an example of such allocation with respect to Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs, it is anticipated that Landlord (and/or any other owners of the Project) may receive separate tax bills which separately assess the improvements component of Tax Expenses for each building in the Project and/or Landlord may receive separate utilities bills from the utilities companies identifying the Utilities Costs for certain of the utilities costs directly incurred by each such building (as measured by separate meters installed for each such building), and such separately assessed Tax Expenses and separately metered Utilities Costs shall be calculated for and allocated separately to each such applicable building. In addition, in the event Landlord (and/or any other owners of the Project) elect to subdivide certain common area portions of the Project such as landscaping, public and private streets, driveways, walkways, courtyards, plazas, transportation facilitation areas and/or accessways into a separate parcel or parcels of land (and/or separately convey all or any of such parcels to a common area association to own, operate and/or maintain same), the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs for such common area parcels of land may be aggregated and then reasonably allocated by Landlord to the Building and such Other Buildings on an equitable basis as Landlord (and/or any applicable covenants, conditions and restrictions for any such common area association) shall provide from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3.5 <u>Cap on Controllable Operating Expenses</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 4, the aggregate "Controllable Expenses" (as hereinafter defined) included in Operating Expenses in any Expense Year after the first Expense Year shall not increase by more than five percent (5%) on a non-cumulative basis, over the actual aggregate Controllable Expenses included in Operating Expenses for any preceding Expense Year, but with no such limit on the amount of Controllable Expenses which may be included in the Operating Expenses incurred during the first Expense Year. Operating Expenses shall, in Landlord's Building- standard manner, be grossed up during any Expense Year that the Project is not fully leased and occupied. For purposes of this Section 4.3.5, "Controllable Expenses" shall mean all Operating Expenses except insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Building and/or the operation thereof. The provisions of this Section 4.3.5 do not apply to the Tax Expenses nor Utilities Costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.4 <u>Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible</u>. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all taxes or assessments required to be paid by Landlord (except to the extent included in Tax Expenses by Landlord), excluding state, local and federal personal or corporate income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources and estate and inheritance taxes, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto, when:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.4.1 said taxes are measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.4.2 said taxes are assessed upon or due to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Project; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.4.3 said taxes are assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.5 <u>Late Charges</u>. If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within five (5) days of the due date therefor, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount due plus any reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord's other rights and remedies hereunder, at law and/or in equity and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord's remedies in any manner. In addition to the late charge described above, any Rent or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid by the date that they are due shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate (the "**Interest Rate**") equal to the lesser of (i) the "Prime Rate" or "Reference Rate" announced from time to time by the Bank of America (or such reasonable comparable national banking institution as selected by Landlord in the event Bank of America ceases to exist or publish a Prime Rate or Reference Rate), plus four percent (4%), or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before assessing a late charge or interest the first time in any one (1) year period, Landlord shall provide Tenant written notice and email of the delinquency, and shall waive such late charge if Tenant pays such delinquency within five (5) days thereafter.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.6 <u>Audit Rights</u>. Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's cost, after reasonable notice to Landlord, to have Tenant's authorized employees or agents inspect, at Landlord's main corporate office during normal business hours, Landlord's books, records and supporting documents concerning the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs set forth in any Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant for a particular Expense Year pursuant to Section 4.3.2 above or Estimate Statement provided pursuant to Section 4.3.3 above; provided, however, Tenant shall have no right to conduct such inspection or object to or otherwise dispute the amount of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs set forth in any such Statement, unless Tenant notifies Landlord of such inspection objection and dispute, completes such inspection within twelve (12) months immediately following Landlord's delivery of a Statement (the "**Review Period**"); provided, further, that notwithstanding any such timely inspection, objection, dispute, and/or audit, and as a condition precedent to Tenant exercise of its right of inspection, objection, dispute, and/or audit as set forth in this Section 4.6, Tenant shall not be permitted to withhold payment of, and Tenant shall timely pay to Landlord, the full amounts as required by the provisions of this Article 4 in accordance with such Statement. However, such payment may be made under protest pending the outcome of any audit. In connection with any such inspection by Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with each other so that such inspection can be performed pursuant to a mutually acceptable schedule, in an expeditious manner and without undue interference with Landlord's operation and management of the Project. If after such inspection and/or request for documentation, Tenant disputes the amount of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs set forth in the Statement, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, within the Review Period, to cause an independent certified public accountant which is not paid on a contingency basis and which is mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant (the "**Accountant**") to complete an audit of Landlord's books and records to determine the proper amount of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs incurred and amounts payable by Tenant for the Expense Year which is the subject of such Statement. Such audit by the Accountant shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree as to the identity of the Accountant within thirty (30) days after Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant desires an audit to be performed, then the Accountant shall be one of the "Big 4" accounting firms selected by Landlord, which is not paid on a contingency basis and is not, and has not been, otherwise employed or retained by Landlord. If such audit reveals that Landlord has over-charged Tenant, then within thirty (30) days after the results of such audit are made available to Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse to Tenant the amount of such over-charge. If the audit reveals that the Tenant was under-charged, then within thirty (30) days after the results of such audit are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord the amount of such undercharge. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such audit unless it is subsequently determined that Landlord's original Statement which was the subject of such audit was in error to Tenant's disadvantage by five percent (5%) or more of the total Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs which was the subject of the audit (in which case Landlord shall pay the cost of such audit). The payment by Tenant of any amounts pursuant to this Article 4 shall not preclude Tenant from questioning the correctness of any Statement provided by Landlord at any time during the Review Period, but the failure of Tenant to object thereto, conduct and complete its inspection and have the Accountant conduct and complete the audit as described above prior to the expiration of the Review Period shall be conclusively deemed Tenant's approval of the Statement in question and the amount of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs shown thereon, subject to Tenant's right to review Statements for the prior twelve (12) months. In connection with any inspection and/or audit conducted by Tenant pursuant to this Section 4.6, Tenant agrees to keep, and to cause all of Tenant's employees and consultants and the Accountant to keep, all of Landlord's books and records and the audit, and all information pertaining thereto and the results thereof, strictly confidential, and in connection therewith, Tenant shall cause such employees, consultants and the Accountant to execute such reasonable confidentiality agreements as Landlord may require prior to conducting any such inspections and/or audits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2 <u>Hazardous Materials</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2.1 <u>Definitions</u>: As used in this Lease, the following terms have the following meanings:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) "**Environmental Permits**" mean collectively, any and all permits, consents, licenses, approvals and registrations of any nature at any time required pursuant to, or in order to comply with, any Environmental Law including, but not limited to, any Spill Control Countermeasure Plan and any Hazardous Materials Management Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) "**Hazardous Materials**" shall mean and include any hazardous or toxic materials, substances or wastes as now or hereafter designated or regulated under any Environmental Law, including, without limitation, asbestos, petroleum, petroleum hydrocarbons and petroleum based products, urea formaldehyde foam insulation, polychlorinated biphenyls ("PCBs"), freon and other chlorofluorocarbons, "biohazardous waste," "medical waste," "infectious agent", "mixed waste" or other waste under California Health and Safety Code §§ 117600 et, seq.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) "**Release**" shall mean with respect to any Hazardous Materials, any release, deposit, discharge, emission, leaking, pumping, leaching, spilling, seeping, migrating, injecting, pumping, pouring, emptying, escaping, dumping, disposing or other movement of Hazardous Materials in violation of Environmental Law or this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2.2 <u>Tenant's Obligations – Environmental Permits</u>. Tenant will (i) obtain and maintain in full force and effect all Environmental Permits that may be required from time to time under any Environmental Laws applicable to Tenant or the Premises and (ii) be and remain in compliance with all terms and conditions of all such Environmental Permits and with all other limitations, restrictions, conditions, standards, prohibitions, requirements, obligations, schedules and timetables contained in all Environmental Laws applicable to Tenant or the Premises.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2.3 <u>Tenant's Obligations – Hazardous Materials</u>. Except as expressly permitted herein (including with respect to Hazardous Materials on the Hazardous Materials List, as to which no consent is required), Tenant agrees not to cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, stored, used, handled, generated, released or disposed of on, in, under or about the Premises, or any other portion of the Property by Tenant, its agents, employees, subtenants, assignees, licensees, contractors or invitees (collectively, "**Tenant's Parties**"), without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent must be provided or withheld within seven (7) days of Tenant's request and which Landlord may withhold in its reasonable discretion. Landlord acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Section 5.2 to prohibit Tenant from operating its business for the uses permitted hereunder and Landlord hereby consents to Tenant's storage, use, generation or release in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws of those Hazardous Materials that are on the Landlord-approved Hazardous Materials List or reasonably required for Tenant's business. Tenant may operate its business according to the custom of Tenant's industry so long as the use or presence of Hazardous Materials is strictly and properly monitored in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws. As a material inducement to Landlord to allow Tenant to use Hazardous Materials in connection with its business, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord prior to the applicable Lease Commencement Date a list identifying each type of Hazardous Material to be present at the applicable portion of the Premises and setting forth any and all governmental approvals or permits required in connection with the presence of such Hazardous Material at the applicable portion of the Premises (the "**Hazardous Materials List**"). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an updated Hazardous Materials List on or prior to each annual anniversary of the Building III Lease Commencement Date. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord true and correct copies of the following documents (hereinafter referred to as the "**Documents**") relating to the handling, storage, disposal and emission of Hazardous Materials prior to the applicable Lease Commencement Date or, if unavailable at that time, concurrently with the receipt from or submission to any Governmental Authority: permits; approvals; reports and correspondence; storage and management plans; notices of violations of applicable Environmental Laws; plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in, on, under or about the Premises (provided that installation of storage tanks shall only be permitted after Landlord has given Tenant its written consent to do so, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute (but good faith) discretion); and all closure plans or any other documents required by any and all governmental authorities for any storage tanks installed in, on, under or about the Premises for the closure of any such storage tanks. For each type of Hazardous Material listed, the Documents shall include (t) the chemical name, (u) the material state (e.g., solid, liquid, gas or cryogen), (v) the concentration, (w) the storage amount and storage condition (e.g., in cabinets or not in cabinets), (x) the use amount and use condition (e.g., open use or closed use), (y) the location (e.g., room number or other identification) and (z) if known, the chemical abstract service number. Tenant shall not be required, however, to provide Landlord with any portion of the Documents containing information of a proprietary nature, which Documents, in and of themselves, do not contain a reference to any Hazardous Materials or activities related to Hazardous Materials. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant agrees to promptly remove from the Premises, the Building and the Project, at its sole cost and expense, any and all Hazardous Materials, including any equipment or systems containing Hazardous Materials which are installed, brought upon, stored, used, generated or released (to the extent clean-up of any release is required by Environmental Laws) upon, in, under or about the Premises, the Building and/or the Project or any portion thereof by Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties during the Term of this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2.4 <u>Landlord's Right to Conduct Environmental Assessment</u>. At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord shall have the right to conduct an environmental assessment of the Premises (as well as any other areas in, on or about the Project that Landlord reasonably believes may have been affected adversely by Tenant's use of the Premises (collectively, the "**Affected Areas**") in order to confirm that the Premises and the Affected Areas do not contain any Hazardous Materials in violation of applicable Environmental Laws or under conditions constituting or likely to constitute a Release of Hazardous Materials. Such environmental assessment shall be a so-called "Phase I" assessment or such other level of investigation which shall be the standard of diligence in the purchase or lease of similar property at the time, together with any additional investigation and report which would customarily follow any discovery contained in such initial Phase I assessment (including, but not limited to, any so-called "Phase II" report). Such right to conduct such environmental assessment shall not be exercised more than once per calendar year unless Tenant is in default under this Section 5.2. Such environmental assessments or inspections shall be subject to Article 22 and be at Landlord's sole cost and expense unless it is discovered that Tenant has violated the terms of this Lease pertaining to Hazardous Materials.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2.5 <u>Tenant's Obligations to perform Corrective Action</u>. If the data from any environmental assessment authorized and undertaken by Landlord pursuant to Section 5.2.4 indicates there has been a Release, threatened Release or other conditions with respect to Hazardous Materials on, under or emanating from the Premises and the Affected Areas by Tenant or Tenant's Parties that may require any investigation and/or active response action, including without limitation active or passive remediation and monitoring or any combination of these activities ("**Corrective Action**"), Tenant shall immediately undertake Corrective Action with respect to such contamination if, and to the extent, required by the governmental authority exercising jurisdiction over the matter. Any Corrective Action performed by Tenant will be performed with Landlord's prior written approval and in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws, at Tenant's sole cost and expense and by an environmental consulting firm (reasonably acceptable to Landlord). Tenant may perform the Corrective Action before or after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, to the extent permitted by governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the Premises, the Building and the Project (provided, however, that any Corrective Action performed after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall be subject to the access fee provisions set forth below). If Tenant undertakes or continues Corrective Action after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord, upon being given forty-eight (48) hours' advance notice, may, in Landlord's sole discretion, elect (without limiting any of the Landlord's other rights and remedies under this Lease, at law and/or in equity), to provide, at an "access fee" equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly Rent in effect for the last month immediately preceding the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (prorated for partial months based on days of actual access and only if the Premises cannot be used by a third party during such period), plus all other sums due under this Lease, access to the Premises, the Building and the Project as may be requested by Tenant and its consultant to accomplish the Corrective Action. Tenant or its consultant may install, inspect, maintain, replace and operate remediation equipment and conduct the Corrective Action as it considers necessary, subject to Landlord's approval. Tenant and Landlord shall, in good faith, cooperate with each other with respect to any Corrective Action after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease so as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of Landlord's or any third party's business on the Premises, the Building and the Project. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, provide access until Tenant delivers evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant's Corrective Action activities on the Premises and the Affected Areas satisfy applicable Environmental Laws. It shall be reasonable for Landlord to require Tenant to deliver a "no further action" letter or substantially similar document from the applicable governmental agency. Tenant shall pay the access fee for each day that Landlord is not able to use the Premises and the Affected Areas for such purposes as Landlord reasonably desires. Landlord's "reasonableness" as used in the immediately preceding sentence shall be based on (i) the zoning of the Premises as of the date in question, and (ii) the logical uses of the Premises as of the date in question. If Landlord desires to situate a tenant in the Premises, the Building and the Project and is unable to do so due to the presence of Hazardous Materials in violation of Environmental Laws and caused by Tenant or Tenant Parties, and remediation of the Premises and the Affected Areas is ongoing, Landlord shall be deemed to be unable to use the Premises, the Building and the Project in the way Landlord reasonably desires and Tenant shall be obligated to continue paying the access fee until such time as Landlord is able to situate said tenant in the Premises, the Building and/or the Project. Tenant agrees to install, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, screening around its remediation equipment so as to protect the aesthetic appeal of the Premises, the Building and the Project. Tenant also agrees to use reasonable efforts to locate its remediation and/or monitoring equipment, if any (subject to the requirements of Tenant's consultant and governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the Premises, the Building and the Project) in a location which will allow Landlord, to the extent reasonably practicable, the ability to lease the Premises, the Building and the Project to a subsequent user. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, if any clean-up or monitoring procedure is required by any applicable governmental authorities in, on, under or about the Premises and the Affected Areas during the Lease Term as a consequence of any Hazardous Materials contamination caused by Tenant or Tenant's Parties and the procedure for clean-up is not completed (to the satisfaction of Landlord and/or the governmental authorities) prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease then, at Landlord's election, (i) this Lease shall be deemed renewed for a term commencing on the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and ending on the date the clean-up procedure is anticipated to be completed; or (ii) Tenant shall be deemed to have impermissibly held over (and Article 16 of this Lease shall apply with full force and effect) and Landlord shall be entitled to all damages directly or indirectly incurred, including, without limitation, damages occasioned by the inability to relet the Premises and/or any other portion of the Building or a reduction of the fair market or rental value of the Premises and/or the Building.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2.6 <u>Tenant's Duty to Notify Landlord Regarding Releases</u>. Tenant agrees to promptly notify Landlord of any Release of Hazardous Materials in the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Project which Tenant becomes aware of during the Term of this Lease, whether caused by Tenant or any other persons or entities. In the event of any release of Hazardous Materials caused by Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to immediately take all reasonable steps Landlord deems necessary or appropriate to remediate such Release and prevent any similar future release as required by Environmental Law to the satisfaction of Landlord and Landlord's mortgagee(s). Tenant will, upon the request of Landlord at any time during which Landlord has reason to believe that Tenant is not in compliance with this Section 5.2 (and in any event no earlier than sixty (60) days and no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of this Lease), cause to be performed an environmental audit of the Premises at Tenant's expense by an established environmental consulting firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord. In the event the audit provides that Corrective Action is required then Tenant shall immediately perform the same at its sole cost and expense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2.7 <u>Tenant's Environmental Indemnity</u>. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to promptly indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord's members, partners, subpartners, independent contractors, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, "Landlord Parties") from and against any and all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of action, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, expenses and costs (including, without limitation, clean-up, removal, remediation and restoration costs, sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys' fees, consultant fees and expert fees and court costs) which arise or result from the Release of Hazardous Materials on, in, under or about the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Project and which are caused by Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties during the Term of this Lease, including arising from or caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by (i) Tenant's or Tenant's Parties' actual, proposed or threatened use, treatment, storage, transportation, holding, existence, disposition, manufacturing, control, management, abatement, removal, handling, transfer, generation or Release (past, present or threatened) of Hazardous Materials to, in, on, under, about or from the Premises and the Affected Areas in violation of Environmental Laws or this Lease; (ii) any past, present or threatened non-compliance or violations of any Environmental Laws in connection with Tenant and/or Tenant's particular use of the Premises and/or the Affected Areas; (iii) personal injury claims; (iv) the payment of any environmental liens, or the disposition, recording, or filing or threatened disposition, recording or filing of any environmental lien encumbering or otherwise affecting the Premises and/or the Affected Areas; (v) diminution in the value of the Premises and/or the Project; (vi) damages for the loss or restriction of use of the Premises and/or the Project, including prospective rent, lost profits and business opportunities; (vii) sums paid in settlement of claims; (viii) reasonable attorneys' fees, consulting fees and expert fees; (ix) the cost of any investigation of site conditions; and (x) the cost of any repair, clean-up or remediation ordered by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency or body. Tenant's obligations hereunder shall include, without limitation, and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification or decontamination of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, or the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial action or other required plans in connection therewith. For purposes of the indemnity provisions in this Section 5.2, any acts of Tenant and/or Tenant's Parties or others acting for or on behalf of Tenant (whether or not they are negligent, intentional, willful or unlawful) shall be strictly attributable to Tenant. The provisions of this Section 5.2.7 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2.8 <u>Limitations on Tenant's Obligations.</u> Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall have no liability in connection with any Hazardous Materials (i) in existence on the Premises, Building or Project prior to the applicable Lease Commencement Date or brought onto the Premises, Building or Project after the applicable Lease Commencement Date by any third party other than a Tenant Party or (ii) which may migrate into the Premises through air, water or soil, through no fault of Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2.9 <u>Landlord's Termination Option for Certain Environmental Problems</u>. If Hazardous Materials are present at the Premises that are required by Environmental Law to be remediated and Tenant is not responsible therefor pursuant to Section 5.2, Landlord shall remediate such Hazardous Materials, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. Landlord shall provide Tenant with abatement of Rent provided in (and subject to) Section 6.8 below, to the extent such work materially interferes with Tenant's conduct of its business in the Premises and Tenant does not occupy all or any material portion of the Premises on account of such work.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2.10 <u>Control Areas</u>. Tenant shall be allowed to utilize up to its pro rata share of the Hazardous Materials inventory within any control area or zone (located within the Premises), as designated by the applicable building code, for chemical use or storage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2.11 <u>Landlord's Environmental Indemnity and Representations</u>. Landlord indemnifies and shall defend, hold and save Tenant and the Tenant Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of action, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, expenses and costs (including, without limitation, clean-up, removal, remediation and restoration costs, sums paid in settlement of claims, reasonable attorneys' fees, reasonable consultant fees and reasonable expert fees and court costs) which arise or result from the presence of Hazardous Materials on, in, under or about the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Project and which arise during or after the Lease Term as a result of the environmental condition at the Project not caused by Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord's indemnity obligation shall not extend to the loss of business, loss of profits or other consequential damages which may be suffered by Tenant. The provisions of this Section 5.2.11 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord represents, to its actual knowledge, except as set forth in reports provided by Landlord to Tenant prior to the date of this Lease, that no Hazardous Materials, including mold or asbestos, exist on, in, under or about the Premises or the Project, including the soil or groundwater thereunder. As Tenant's sole remedy for Landlord's breach of the foregoing representation, Landlord shall remediate such Hazardous Materials but only those Hazardous Materials in violation of Environmental Laws.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3 <u>Odors and Exhaust</u>. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord would not enter into this Lease with Tenant unless Tenant assured Landlord that under no circumstances will the Premises be damaged by any exhaust from Tenant's operations. Landlord and Tenant therefore agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3.1 Tenant shall not cause or permit (or conduct any activities that would cause) any release of any odors or fumes of any kind from the Premises in violation of Environmental Laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3.2 As part of the Base Building, Landlord shall install a ventilation system that, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, is adequate, suitable, and appropriate to reasonably vent the Premises for a typical lab use in a manner that does not release odors detectable by a typical person and not unreasonably affecting any indoor or outdoor part of the Premises, and Tenant shall vent the Premises through such system. The placement and configuration of all ventilation exhaust pipes, louvers and other equipment shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval. Tenant acknowledges Landlord's legitimate desire to maintain the Premises (indoor and outdoor areas) in a commercially reasonable, odor-free manner, and Landlord may require Tenant to abate and remove all unreasonable odors in a manner that goes beyond the requirements of applicable laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3.3 Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, provide odor eliminators and other devices (such as filters, air cleaners, scrubbers and whatever other equipment may in Landlord's judgment be necessary or appropriate from time to time) to completely remove, eliminate and abate any odors, fumes or other substances in Tenant's exhaust stream that, in Landlord's judgment, emanate from the Premises. Any work Tenant performs under this Section 5.3 shall constitute Alterations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3.4 Tenant's responsibility to remove, eliminate and abate odors, fumes and exhaust shall continue throughout the Term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3.5 If Tenant fails to install satisfactory odor control equipment within ten (10) business days after Landlord's demand made at any time, then Landlord may, without limiting Landlord's other rights and remedies, require Tenant to cease and suspend any operations in the Premises that, in Landlord's determination, cause odors, fumes or exhaust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.4 <u>Interruption of Use</u>. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise (subject to Section 6.8), for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including, but not limited to, any central plant or other lab system, telephone and telecommunication services), or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, when such failure or delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by required repairs, replacements, or improvements (in each case scheduled at reasonable times with Tenant, except in cases of emergency), by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building or Project after reasonable effort to do so, by any accident or casualty beyond Landlord's reasonable control, by act or default of Tenant or other parties, or by any other cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control; and such failures or delays or diminution shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the Premises or, subject to Section 6.8 below, relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, subject to Section 6.8 below, Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of, or injury to, property (including scientific research and any intellectual property) or for injury to, or interference with, Tenant's business, including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to a failure to furnish any of the services or utilities as set forth in this Article 6.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.5 <u>Additional Services</u>. Landlord shall also have the right, but not the obligation, at Tenant's request, to provide any additional services which may be required by Tenant, including, without limitation, locksmithing and additional repairs and maintenance, provided that Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after billing and as Additional Rent hereunder, the sum of all costs to Landlord of such additional services plus a five percent (5%) administration fee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.6 <u>Janitorial Service</u>. Landlord shall not be obligated to provide any janitorial services to the Premises or replace any light bulbs, lamps, starters and ballasts for lighting fixtures within the Premises. Tenant shall be solely responsible, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, for (i) performing all janitorial services, trash removal and other cleaning of the Premises, and (ii) replacement of all light bulbs, lamps, starters and ballasts for lighting fixtures within the Premises, all as appropriate to maintain the Premises in a first-class manner consistent with the first-class nature of the Building and Project. Such services to be provided by Tenant shall be performed by contractors and pursuant to service contracts approved by Landlord. Tenant shall deposit trash as reasonably required in the area designated by Landlord from time to time. All trash containers must be covered and stored in a manner to prevent the emanation of odors into the Premises or the Project. Landlord shall have the right to inspect the Premises upon reasonable notice to Tenant and to require Tenant to provide additional cleaning, if necessary. In the event Tenant shall fail to provide any of the services described in this Section 6.6 to be performed by Tenant within five (5) days after notice from Landlord, which notice shall not be required in the event of an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to provide such services and any charge or cost incurred by Landlord in connection therewith shall be deemed Additional Rent due and payable by Tenant upon receipt by Tenant of a written statement of cost from Landlord.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.7 <u>Energy Statements</u>. For any utilities serving the Premises for which Tenant is billed directly by such utility provider, Tenant agrees to furnish to Landlord (a) any invoices or statements for such utilities within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt thereof, (b) within thirty (30) days after Landlord's request, any other utility usage information reasonably requested by Landlord, and (c) within thirty (30) days after each calendar year during the Term, an ENERGY STAR® Statement of Performance (or similar comprehensive utility usage report if requested by Landlord) and any other information reasonably requested by Landlord for the immediately preceding year. Tenant shall retain records of utility usage at the Premises, including invoices and statements from the utility provider, for at least sixty (60) months, or such other period of time as may be requested by Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that any utility information for the Premises may be shared with third parties, including Landlord's consultants and governmental authorities. In the event that Tenant fails to comply with this Section, Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to collect utility usage information directly from the applicable utility providers and agree to pay Landlord a fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per month to collect such utility usage information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.8 <u>Abatement of Rent When Tenant is Prevented From Using Premises</u>. In the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, for five (5) consecutive business days (the "**Eligibility Period**") as a result of (i) any repair, maintenance or alteration performed by Landlord after the applicable Lease Commencement Date and required to be performed by Landlord under this Lease or permitted pursuant to Section 5.2.9 above or Section 24.30 below, or (ii) any failure by Landlord to provide to the Premises any of the facilities for essential utilities and services required to be provided in Section 6.1 above, or (iii) any failure by Landlord to provide access to the Premises, then Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, from and after the first (1st) day following the Eligibility Period and continuing until such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable square feet of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises; provided, however, that Tenant shall only be entitled to such abatement of rent if the matter described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this sentence is within Landlord's reasonable control or caused by Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct or violation of this Lease. To the extent Tenant shall be entitled to abatement of rent because of a damage or destruction pursuant to Article 11 or a taking pursuant to Article 12, then the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.9 <u>Landlord's Emergency Generator</u>. Tenant shall have the right to draw Tenant's Share of power from the emergency generator serving each Building ("**Generator**") at all times when the emergency generator is in emergency operation; provided, however, that (a) Tenant may only draw Tenant's Share of available power for Tenant's critical power requirements (e.g., certain portions of Tenant's labs in the Premises, Tenant's IT room and supplemental cooling for Tenant's IT room), and (b) in the event the Generator is replaced, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any replacement emergency generator to provide at least the same electrical capacity to the Premises (as the Generator provides to the Premises) at all times when the power is out, subject to Force Majeure. Until such Generator is replaced, Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to be operational at all times when power is out, subject to Force Majeure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.10 <u>Tenant's Emergency Generator</u>. Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to install and operate one (1) or more supplemental back-up generators or battery system(s) (each, a "Generator") along with all associated equipment and any necessary cables (together with the Generator, the "Generator Equipment") within or adjacent to or on the roof of the Premises. All of the Generator Equipment and any modifications thereto or placement thereof shall be (a) at Tenant's sole cost and expense, (b) installed and operated to Landlord's reasonable specifications, supervision or review and (c) installed, maintained, operated and removed in accordance with all applicable laws. The Generator Equipment shall remain the property of Tenant and, if so required by Landlord, Tenant shall remove the Generator Equipment upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease and repair any damage to the Project caused by such removal.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.11 <u>Tenant's Security System</u>. Tenant shall be entitled to install, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, a separate security system for the Premises as part of the Tenant Improvements; provided, however, that any such system shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval, and any such system must be compatible with the existing systems of the Project. Tenant's obligation to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless as provided in, and subject to, Article 10 below shall also apply to Tenant's use and operation of any such system, and the installation of such system shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. At Landlord's option, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove such security system and repair any damage to the Premises resulting from such removal. Tenant shall at all times provide Landlord with a contact person who can disarm the security system and who is familiar with the functions of the alarm system in the event of a malfunction, and Tenant shall provide Landlord with the alarm codes or other necessary information required to disarm the alarm system in the event Landlord must enter the Premises in the event of an emergency.

**<u>REPAIRS</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1 <u>Tenant's Repairs</u>. Subject to Landlord's repair obligations in Sections 7.2 and 11.1 below, Tenant shall, at Tenant's own expense, keep the Premises, including all improvements, fixtures and furnishings therein, in good order, repair and condition at all times during the Lease Term, which repair obligations shall include, without limitation, the obligation to promptly and adequately repair all damage to the Premises and replace or repair all damaged or broken fixtures and appurtenances, together with all portions of the HVAC, electrical, mechanical plumbing, life safety and lab systems from the point that such systems are located in and solely serves the Premises and all portions of all fume hoods and other exhaust systems that are located in and exclusively serve the Premises (all such systems collectively being referred to as the **"Premises Systems"),** in the condition received; provided, however, the Premises Systems shall not include the Base Building. Tenant's obligations shall include restorations, replacements or renewals, excluding capital expenditures for restorations, replacements or renewals which will have an expected life beyond the Term (which are Landlord's responsibility), when necessary to keep the Premises and all improvements thereon or a part thereof and the Premises Systems in the order, condition and repair received and in compliance with all applicable laws. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, it is intended by the parties hereto that Landlord shall have no obligation, in any manner whatsoever, to repair or maintain the Premises, the improvements located therein or the equipment therein, or the Premises Systems, all of which obligations are intended to be the expense of Tenant (whether or not such repairs, maintenance or restoration shall have an expected life extending beyond the Term). Tenant's maintenance of the Premises Systems shall comply with the manufacturers' recommended operating and maintenance procedures. Tenant shall enter into and pay for maintenance contracts (in forms satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion, which may require, without limitation, that any third party contractor provide Landlord with evidence of insurance as required by Landlord) for the Premises Systems in accordance with the manufacturers' recommended operating and maintenance procedures. Such maintenance contracts shall be with reputable contractors, satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion, who shall have not less than ten (10) years of experience in maintaining such systems in biotechnical facilities. Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall provide maintenance reports from any such contractors. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of all improvements or alterations to the Premises or the Premises Systems required by law to the extent required under Article 21. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant fails to make such repairs, Landlord may, but need not, make such repairs and replacements, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, including a percentage of the cost thereof (to be uniformly established for the Building) sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs or expenses arising from Landlord's involvement with such repairs and replacements forthwith upon being billed for same. In addition, Landlord reserves the right, upon notice to Tenant, to procure and maintain any or all of such service contracts, and if Landlord so elects, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for the costs thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2 <u>Landlord's Repairs</u>. Anything contained in Section 7.1 above to the contrary notwithstanding, and subject to Articles 11 and 12 below, Landlord shall repair and maintain the structural portions of the Building, including the plumbing, HVAC and electrical systems serving the Building and not located in and exclusively serving the Premises, and the Base Building; provided, however, to the extent such maintenance and repairs are caused by the act, neglect, fault of or omission of any duty by Tenant, its agents, servants, employees or invitees, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, the reasonable cost of such maintenance and repairs. Moreover, Landlord shall perform and construct, and Tenant shall have no responsibility to perform or construct, any repair, maintenance or improvements (a) necessitated by the acts of Landlord, (b) for which Landlord has a right of reimbursement from others, and (c) to any portion of the Building outside of the demising walls of the Premises, and the common areas of the Project. There shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Project, Building or the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. Tenant hereby waives and releases its right to make repairs at Landlord's expense under Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code; or under any similar law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3 <u>Tenant's Right to Make Repairs</u>. Notwithstanding any of the terms set forth in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant provides notice ("**Repair Notice**") to Landlord of an event or circumstance which requires the action of Landlord with respect to repair and/or maintenance required to be performed by Landlord, which event or circumstance materially or adversely affects the conduct of Tenant's business from the Premises, and Landlord fails to commence corrective action within a reasonable period of time, given the circumstances, after the receipt of such notice, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, then Tenant may proceed to take the required action upon delivery of an additional three (3) business days' notice to Landlord specifying that Tenant is taking such required action and if such action was required under the terms of this Lease to be taken by Landlord and was not commenced by Landlord within such three (3) business day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion, then Tenant shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant's reasonable costs and expenses in taking such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in an Emergency (as defined below), the initial thirty (30) day notice and the subsequent three (3) business day notice shall not be required, and Tenant may commence the required action upon reasonable (but not more than twenty-four (24) hours') prior written notice to Landlord. In the event Tenant takes such action, Tenant shall use only those contractors used by Landlord in the Building for work unless such contractors are unwilling or unable to perform, or timely perform, such work, in which event Tenant may utilize the services of any other qualified contractor which normally and regularly performs similar work in Comparable Buildings. Following completion of any work taken by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.3, Tenant shall deliver a detailed invoice of the work completed, the materials used and the costs relating thereto ("**Invoice Notice**"). After receipt of Tenant's Invoice Notice, Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant ("**Landlord's Response Notice**"), setting forth with reasonable particularity Landlord's reasons for its claim (if any) that such action did not have to be taken by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease or that the charges are excessive (in which case Landlord shall pay the amount it contends would not have been excessive). If Tenant disputes Landlord's Response Notice and Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve such dispute then Tenant shall have the right to pursue all of its remedies under this Lease. For purposes of this Section 7.3, an "**Emergency**" shall mean an event threatening immediate and material danger to people located in the Building or immediate, material damage to the Building.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.4 <u>Tenant's Management Option</u>. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, in the event Tenant is leasing an entire building in the Project (and if and for so long as Tenant is leasing an entire building) then Tenant shall have the option ("**Management Option**") to perform Landlord's repair and maintenance obligations with respect to such building as provided in **<u>Exhibit J</u>** attached hereto. In order to exercise such Management Option, Tenant shall provide Landlord with no less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice, which notice shall indicate the date (which shall be no sooner than such one hundred eighty (180) day period) Tenant will commence to perform such repair and maintenance obligations (the "**Takeover Date**"). In the event Tenant exercises such Management Option then, commencing as of the Takeover Date, this Article 7 shall be deemed deleted and replaced with the terms and provisions of **<u>Exhibit J</u>**<u>,</u> and <u>Schedules 1</u> and <u>2</u> of **<u>Exhibit J</u>** will be deemed incorporated into this Lease.

**<u>ARTICLE 8</u>**

**<u>ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1 <u>Landlord's Consent to Alterations</u>. Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the "Alterations") without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to any Alterations which may materially or adversely affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment or which can be seen from outside the Premises ("**Prohibited Alterations**"). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, prior consent shall not be required with respect to painting, wall coverings and floor coverings in the interior of the Premises. In addition, Landlord's prior consent shall not be required for Alterations which (i) are non-structural and do not materially and adversely affect any Building Systems, (ii) affect only the Premises and are not visible from outside of the Premises or the Building, (iii) other than cosmetic alterations and minor electrical, cabling and lighting work (such as adding an outlet or light switch) (the "**Minor Alterations**"), do not require a building permit, variance, waiver or other relief from any applicable law, (iv) comply in all respects with all applicable laws, (v) are not Prohibited Alterations, and (vi) cost less than One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) for any one (1) job, so long as Tenant provides Landlord with prior written notice of such proposed Alterations (other than Minor Alterations which cost less than $50,000.00 for any one (1) job) and so long as the other conditions of this Article 8 are satisfied including, without limitation, conforming to Landlord's rules, regulations and insurance requirements which govern contractors. Tenant shall pay for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses of the Alterations, and shall pay to Landlord a Landlord supervision fee of the lesser of Landlord's actual, reasonable third-party costs and two percent (2%) of the cost of the Alterations for which Landlord's consent is required. The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2 <u>Manner of Construction</u>. Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to all Alterations or repairs of the Premises, such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes only contractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen approved by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may impose such requirements as Landlord may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, with respect to any work materially and adversely affecting the structural components of the Building or Systems and Equipment (including designating specific contractors to perform such work). Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in compliance with any and all applicable rules and regulations of any federal, state, county or municipal code or ordinance and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the city in which the Building is located, and in conformance with Landlord's construction rules and regulations. Landlord's approval of the plans, specifications and working drawings for Tenant's Alterations shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with all laws, rules and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities. All work with respect to any Alterations must be done in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit except during the period of work. Tenant shall cause all Alterations to be performed in such manner as not to obstruct access by any person to the Building or Project or the common areas, and as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants of the Project, or interfere with the labor force working at the Project. If Tenant makes any Alterations, Tenant agrees to carry "Builder's All Risk" insurance in an amount approved by Landlord (not to exceed the first replacement value thereof) covering the construction of such Alterations, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 below immediately upon completion thereof. Landlord may, in its discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations (the estimated cost of which exceeds Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000)) and naming Landlord as a co-obligee. Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall (i) cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county in which the Project is located in accordance with Section 8182 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, (ii) deliver to the management office of the Building a reproducible copy of the "as built" drawings of the Alterations, and (iii) deliver to Landlord evidence of payment, contractors' affidavits and full and final waivers of all liens for labor, services or materials.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.3 <u>Landlord's Property</u>. All Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises (including, but not limited to, all floor and wall coverings, built-in cabinet work and paneling, sinks and related plumbing fixtures, laboratory benches, exterior venting fume hoods and walk-in freezers and refrigerators, ductwork, conduits, electrical panels and circuits), shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord excluding Tenant's fixtures and equipment, including portable benches, autoclaves, glasswashes, freezers, refrigerators, portable fume hoods, and biosafety cabinets. Furthermore, Landlord may require that Tenant remove any specialized/non-Building standard Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment (other than the Tenant Improvements) upon the expiration or early termination of the Lease Term, and repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal; provided that Landlord notifies in writing that such removal will be required at the time Landlord provides its consent to such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment (or at the time Tenant notifies Landlord with respect to Alterations not requiring Landlord's consent). If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair by the end of the Lease Term, Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8 to the contrary, in no event shall Tenant remove any improvement from the Premises as to which Landlord contributed payment, including the Tenant Improvements, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.4 <u>Wi-Fi Network</u>. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Tenant desires to install wireless intranet, Internet and communications network ("Wi-Fi Network") in the Premises for the use by Tenant and its employees, then the same shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.4 (in addition to the other provisions of this Article 8). In the event Landlord consents to Tenant's installation of such Wi-Fi Network, Tenant shall, in accordance with Article 15 below, remove the Wi-Fi Network from the Premises prior to the termination of the Lease. Tenant shall use the Wi-Fi Network so as not to cause any interference to other tenants in the Building or to other tenants at the Project or with any other tenant's communication equipment, and not to damage the Building or Project or interfere with the normal operation of the Building or Project, and Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including attorneys' fees) arising out of Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.4, except to the extent same is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's breach of this Lease. Should any interference occur, Tenant shall take all necessary steps as soon as reasonably possible and no later than three (3) calendar days following such occurrence to correct such interference. If such interference continues after such three (3) day period, Tenant shall immediately cease operating such Wi-Fi Network until such interference is corrected or remedied to Landlord's satisfaction. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has granted and/or may grant telecommunication rights to other tenants and occupants of the Building and Project and to telecommunication service providers and in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any interference of the same with such Wi-Fi Network. Landlord makes no representation that the Wi-Fi Network will be able to receive or transmit communication signals without interference or disturbance. Tenant shall (i) be solely responsible for any damage caused as a result of the Wi-Fi Network, (ii) promptly pay any tax, license or permit fees charged pursuant to any laws or regulations in connection with the installation, maintenance or use of the Wi-Fi Network and comply with all precautions and safeguards recommended by all governmental authorities, (iii) pay for all necessary repairs, replacements to or maintenance of the Wi-Fi Network, and (iv) be responsible for any modifications, additions or repairs to the Building or Project, including without limitation, Building or Project systems or infrastructure, which are required by reason of the installation, operation or removal of Tenant's Wi-Fi Network. Should Landlord be required to retain professionals to research any interference issues that may arise and confirm Tenant's compliance with the terms of this Section 8.4, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the costs incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord's retention of such professionals, the research of such interference issues and confirmation of Tenant's compliance with the terms of this Section 8.4 within twenty (20) days after the date Landlord submits to Tenant an invoice for such costs. This reimbursement obligation is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights or remedies Landlord may have in the event of a breach or default by Tenant under this Lease.

**<u>ARTICLE 10</u>**

**<u>INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.1 <u>Indemnification and Waiver</u>. Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property and injury to persons, in, on, or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever and agrees that Landlord and the Landlord Parties shall not be liable for, and are hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage to property or injury to persons or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage or injury is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant other than that arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, contractors, licensees or invitees or a violation of Landlord's obligations under this Lease or due to defects in the design or condition of the Building that were not caused by Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with or arising from any cause in, on or about the Premises (including, without limitation, Tenant's installation, placement and removal of Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises), and any acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, licensees or invitees of Tenant or any such person, in, on or about the Premises, the Building and Project; provided, however, that the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the negligence, violation of this Lease or willful misconduct of Landlord or defects in the design or condition of the Building that were not caused by Tenant. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant assumes all risk of, damage to personal property or scientific research or intellectual property, including loss of records kept by Tenant within the Premises, caused by fire, electrical malfunction, gas explosion or water damage of any type (including broken water lines, malfunctioning fire sprinkler systems, malfunctioning lab systems including any malfunction of the central plant systems, roof leaks or stoppages of lines). Tenant further waives any claim for injury to Tenant's business or loss of income relating to any such damage or destruction of personal property as described above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.2 <u>Tenant's Compliance with Landlord's Fire and Casualty Insurance</u>. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, comply as to the Premises with all insurance company requirements pertaining to Tenant's particular use of the Premises. If Tenant's conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body to the extent Tenant would be required to comply with the same if they were legal requirements under Article 21.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.3 <u>Tenant's Insurance</u>. Tenant shall maintain the following coverages in the following amounts (which liability insurance limits may be met by umbrella coverage):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.3.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance covering the insured against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage arising out of Tenant's operations, assumed liabilities or use of the Premises, including a Broad Form Commercial General Liability endorsement covering the insuring provisions of this Lease, (and liquor liability coverage if alcoholic beverages are served on the Premises) for limits of liability not less than:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.3.2 Physical Damage Insurance covering (i) all furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, merchandise and all other items of Tenant's property on the Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of Tenant, and (ii) all other improvements, alterations and additions to the Premises contracted for by Tenant, including any improvements, alterations or additions installed at Tenant's request above the ceiling of the Premises or below the floor of the Premises, other than the Tenant Improvements. Such insurance shall be written on a "physical loss or damage" basis under a "special form" policy, for the full replacement cost value new without deduction for depreciation of the covered items and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance and shall include a vandalism and malicious mischief endorsement, sprinkler leakage coverage and earthquake sprinkler leakage coverage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.3.3 Workers' compensation insurance as required by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.3.4 Loss-of-income, business interruption and extra-expense insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct and indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of loss of access to the Premises or to the Building as a result of such perils.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.3.5 If Tenant rents or owns automobiles at the Project, Tenant shall carry comprehensive automobile liability insurance having a combined single limit of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence and insuring Tenant against liability for claims arising out of ownership, maintenance or use of any owned, hired or non-owned automobiles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.3.6 On and after the date Tenant commences business operations in the Premises only, Environmental Liability insurance (in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord) with limits of coverage not less than Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) combined per occurrence and in the aggregate insuring against any and all liability with respect to the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto arising out of any death or injury to any person, damage or destruction of any property, other loss, cost or expense resulting from any release, spill, leak or other contamination of the Premises, or any other property surrounding the Premises attributable to the presence of Hazardous Materials. Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall also obtain (at Tenant's sole cost and expense) environmental impairment liability insurance and environmental remediation liability insurance (in form and substance (including limits) acceptable to Landlord). If, at any time it reasonably appears to Landlord that Tenant is not maintaining sufficient insurance or other means of financial capacity to enable Tenant to fulfill its obligations to Landlord hereunder, whether or not then accrued, liquidated, conditional or contingent, Tenant shall procure and thereafter maintain in full force and effect such insurance or other form of financial assurance, with or from companies or persons and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord, as Landlord may from time to time reasonably request. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all such environmental liability insurance shall specifically insure the performance by Tenant of the indemnity provisions set forth in this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.3.7 <u>Form of Policies</u>. The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease. Such insurance shall: (i) name Landlord, and any other party it so specifies, as an additional insured; (ii) intentionally deleted; (iii) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less than A—/VII in Best's Insurance Guide or which is otherwise acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the state in which the Project is located; (iv) be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance carried by Landlord is excess and is non-contributing with any insurance requirement of Tenant; (v) to the extent consistent with industry custom and practice, provide that said insurance shall not be canceled or coverage changed unless thirty (30) days' prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord and any mortgagee or ground or underlying lessor of Landlord; (vi) contain a cross-liability endorsement or severability of interest clause acceptable to Landlord; and (vii) with respect to the insurance required in Sections 10.3.1, 10.3.2 and 10.3.4 above, have deductible amounts not exceeding One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00). Tenant shall deliver such policies or certificates thereof to Landlord on or before the earlier of the Building I Delivery Date or the Building III Delivery Date and at least thirty (30) days before the expiration dates thereof; provided, however, that the insurance required in Section 10.3.6 shall be provided by Tenant on or before the date Tenant commences business operations in the Premises. If Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificate, within such time periods, Landlord may, at its option, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies under this Lease, and without regard to any notice and cure periods set forth in Section 19.1, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after delivery of bills therefor. Tenant shall have the right to carry the insurance required hereunder in the form of blanket and/or umbrella policies.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.4 <u>Waiver of Subrogation</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any right that either may have against the other on account of any loss or damage to their respective property to the extent such loss or damage is insurable under policies of insurance for fire and all risk coverage, theft, or other similar insurance, without regard to the negligence or willful misconduct of the entity so released. All of Landlord's and Tenant's repair and indemnity obligations under this Lease shall be subject to the waiver contained in this paragraph.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.5 <u>Additional Insurance Obligations</u>. Tenant shall carry and maintain during the entire Lease Term, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, increased amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 10, and such other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant's operations therein, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord so long as such amounts or types are then generally being required by landlords of comparable buildings in the general vicinity of the Building.

**<u>ARTICLE 11</u>**

**<u>DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.1 <u>Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord</u>. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any common areas of the Building or Project serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the estimated date of completion of the repair ("**Estimated Repair Completion Date**"). Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the Premises, including the Tenant Improvements and such common areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Premises, including the Tenant Improvements and common areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Project and/or the Building, or the lessor of a ground or underlying lease with respect to the Building, or any other modifications to the common areas deemed desirable by Landlord, provided access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant's insurance required under Section 10.3 of this Lease attributable to Alterations made by Tenant (other than the Tenant Improvements), and Landlord shall repair any damage to such Alterations installed in the Premises and shall return such Alterations to their original condition; provided that if the costs of such repair of such Alterations by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord therefor from Tenant's insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the excess costs of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord's repair of the damage. In connection with such repairs and replacements of any such Alterations, Tenant shall, prior to Landlord's commencement of such improvement work, submit to Landlord, for Landlord's review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant's business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or common areas necessary to Tenant's occupancy, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs during the time and to the extent the Premises are unusable by Tenant for its business purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.2 <u>Landlord's Option to Repair</u>. Notwithstanding Section 11.1 above to the contrary, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, the Building and/or any other portion of the Project and instead terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date Landlord becomes aware of such damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, and the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) repairs cannot reasonably be substantially completed within three hundred sixty (360) days after the date of such damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Project and/or the Building or ground or underlying lessor with respect to the Project and/or the Building shall require that at least Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000.00) of the insurance proceeds be used to retire the mortgage debt and Tenant does not commit to pay for any uninsured amounts in excess thereof, or shall terminate the ground or underlying lease, as the case may be and Landlord elects to terminate the leases of all other tenants of the Building similarly affected by the damage and destruction; or (iii) at least Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000.00) of the damage is not fully covered, except for deductible amounts, by Landlord's insurance policies and Landlord elects to terminate the leases of all other tenants of the Building similarly affected by the damage and destruction and Tenant does not commit to pay for (and does pay for) any amounts as to which there are no insurance available in excess thereof; provided, however, Landlord may not exercise any of the foregoing rights to terminate this Lease if Landlord intends to restore the damage within twelve (12) months of the date of the damage. In addition, if the Premises and the Building is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent during the last year of the Lease Term, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 11, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant of the exercise of such option within thirty (30) days after such damage, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice. Upon any such termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 11.2, Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of termination, and both parties hereto shall thereafter be discharged of all further obligations under this Lease, except for those obligations which expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. If the foregoing apply to only one Building, Landlord may terminate this Lease as to only the subject Building; provided, however, if Landlord terminates this Lease as to only one Building, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice thereof to Landlord within thirty (30) days after such termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.3 <u>Waiver of Statutory Provisions</u>. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Project, and any statute or regulation of the state in which the Project is located, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Project.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.4 <u>Tenant's Termination Rights Following Damage</u>. Tenant, at any time after the damage until such rebuilding is completed, may terminate this Lease entirely or as to only the Building as to which the following applies by delivering written notice to Landlord of such termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate as of the date of the giving of such notice, in any of the following circumstances: (i) Landlord fails to restore the Premises (including reasonable means of access thereto) within a period which is sixty (60) days longer than the Estimated Repair Completion Date stated in Landlord's notice to Tenant as the estimated rebuilding period (which sixty (60) day period shall be deemed extended due to Force Majeure delays (but not to exceed ninety (90) days for reasons other than the New Pandemic Exceptions) and/or Tenant Delays); (ii) the Estimated Completion Repair Date is more than three hundred sixty (360) days following the damage; or (iii) material damage to a material portion of the Premises occurs within the last year of the Term to the extent that in Tenant's judgment it cannot effectively operate its business in the Building I Premises or the Building III Premises (as the case may be).

**<u>ARTICLE 12</u>**

**<u>CONDEMNATION</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.1 <u>Permanent Taking</u>. If the whole or any substantial part of the Premises, Building or Project shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any substantial part of the Premises, Building or Project, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days' notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking, condemnation, deed or other instrument. If more than ten percent (10%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if any of the Premises is taken that would materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired due to a taking, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease entirely or as to only the Building as to which the foregoing applies upon ninety (90) days' notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant's personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, for the unamortized value of any improvements to the Premises paid for by Tenant and for relocation expenses, so long as such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination, or the date of such taking, whichever shall first occur. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs shall be proportionately abated. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil Procedure.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.2 <u>Temporary Taking</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 12, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.

**<u>ARTICLE 13</u>**

**<u>COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT</u>**

Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent, charges for services and other payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, and agreements hereof without interference by any persons lawfully claiming by or through Landlord. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.

**<u>ARTICLE 14</u>**

**<u>ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.1 <u>Transfers</u>. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord (not to be unreasonably withheld), assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment or other such foregoing transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as "Transfers" and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "Transferee"). If Tenant shall desire Landlord's consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the "Transfer Notice") shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the "Subject Space"), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, (v) a list of Hazardous Materials, certified by the proposed Transferee to be true and correct, that the proposed Transferee intends to use or store in the Premises, and (vi) such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. Any Transfer made without Landlord's prior written consent shall, at Landlord's option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord's option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease after the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods. Whether or not Landlord shall grant consent, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord up to Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) to reimburse Landlord for its review and processing fees, and any legal fees incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant's proposed Transfer.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.2 <u>Landlord's Consent</u>. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any proposed Transfer on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. In no event shall Landlord be deemed to be unreasonable for declining to consent to a Transfer to a transferee jeopardizing directly or indirectly the status of Landlord or any of Landlord's affiliates as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the "**Revenue Code**"). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, (w) no Transfer shall be consummated on any basis such that the rental or other amounts to be paid by the occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on the income or profits derived by the business activities of such occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee; (x) Tenant shall not consummate a Transfer with any person in which Landlord owns an interest, directly or indirectly (by applying constructive ownership rules set forth in Section 856(d)(5) of the Revenue Code); and (z) Tenant shall not consummate a Transfer with any person or in any manner that could cause any portion of the amounts received by Landlord pursuant to this Lease or any sublease, license or other arrangement for the right to use, occupy or possess any portion of the Premises to fail to qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Revenue Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto or which could cause any other income of Landlord to fail to qualify as income described in Section 856(c)(2) of the Revenue Code. The parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply, without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.2.1 The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.2.2 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.2.3 The Transfer will result in more than a safe number of occupants per floor within the Subject Space;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.2.4 The Transferee is an assignee or subtenant of more than one (1) floor of a Building and is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities involved under the Lease or the applicable sublease on the date consent is requested;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.2.5 The proposed Transfer would cause Landlord to be in violation of another lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.2.6 The terms of the proposed Transfer will allow the Transferee to exercise a right of renewal, right of expansion, right of first offer, or other similar right held by Tenant (or will allow an assignee to occupy space to be leased by Tenant pursuant to any such right); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.2.7 Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed Transferee, (i) leases from Landlord space in the Project at the time of the request for consent, (ii) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Project at such time, or (iii) has negotiated with Landlord during the one (1)-month period immediately preceding the Transfer Notice, in each case if Landlord then has suitable space available to such proposed Transferee.

If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 14.4 below), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord's consent, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 above, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice (i) such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, or (ii) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be more favorable to the Transferee than the terms set forth in Tenant's original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord's right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.3 <u>Transfer Premium</u>. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any Transfer Premium received by Tenant from such Transferee. "**Transfer Premium**" shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any reasonable changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with the Transfer (but only to the extent approved by Landlord), (ii) any market standard brokerage commissions and attorneys' fees in connection with the Transfer, and (iii) free rent or sublease allowances (collectively, the "**Subleasing Costs**"). Transfer Premium shall also include, but not be limited to, key money and bonus money paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer. The Transfer Premium shall be calculated as if there was no Abated Rent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.4 <u>Landlord's Option as to Subject Space</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, if Tenant requests Landlord's consent to Transfer that is an assignment of this Lease or a Transfer that is a sublease of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises and for more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the then current Lease Term, then Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Transfer Notice, to recapture the Subject Space. Such recapture notice shall terminate this Lease with respect to the Subject Space as of the date stated in the Transfer Notice as the effective date of the proposed Transfer. If this Lease is terminated with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent and the L-C Amount and the Reduction L-C Amount reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner to recapture the Subject Space under this Section 14.4, then, provided Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to proceed to transfer the Subject Space to the proposed Transferee, subject to provisions of the last paragraph of Section 14.2 above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.5 <u>Effect of Transfer</u>. If Landlord consents to a Transfer: (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified; (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee; (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord; and (iv) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord's consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from liability under this Lease. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency and Landlord's costs of such audit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.6 <u>Additional Transfers</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.7.1 Any such Affiliate was not formed as a subterfuge to avoid the obligations of this Article 14;

**<u>SURRENDER; OWNERSHIP AND REMOVAL OF PERSONAL PROPERTY</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.1 <u>Surrender of Premises</u>. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in a writing signed by Landlord. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.2 <u>Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant</u>. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear, casualties, alterations or other interior improvements which Tenant is permitted to surrender at the termination of this Lease and repairs which are not the responsibility of Tenant hereunder excepted. Tenant's restoration obligations may also include satisfying Landlord's commercially reasonable procedures regarding the cleaning of any lab systems and sealing any connection points of any such lab systems to the Premises, all at Tenant's sole cost and expense. At least ten (10) days prior to Tenant's surrender of possession of any part of the Premises, Tenant shall provide Landlord with (a) a facility decommissioning and Hazardous Materials closure plan for the Premises ("**Exit Survey**") prepared by an independent third party reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (b) written evidence of all appropriate governmental releases obtained by Tenant in accordance with applicable laws, including laws pertaining to the surrender of the Premises. In addition, Tenant agrees to remain responsible after the surrender of the Premises for the remediation of any recognized environmental conditions set forth in the Exit Survey and caused by Tenant or any Tenant's Parties and compliance with any recommendations set forth in the Exit Survey. Tenant shall, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, furnish to Landlord evidence that Tenant has closed all governmental permits and licenses, if any, issued in connection with Tenant's or Tenant's Parties' activities at the Premises. If any such governmental permits or licenses have been issued and Tenant fails to provide evidence of such closure on or before the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then until Tenant does so, the holdover provisions of Article 16 of this Lease shall apply if a third party is unable to use the Premises as a result thereof. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all telephone, data, and other cabling and wiring (including any cabling and wiring associated with the Wi-Fi Network, if any) installed or caused to be installed by Tenant (including any cabling and wiring, installed above the ceiling of the Premises or below the floor of the Premises), all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, free-standing cabinet work, and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal. In no event shall Tenant be required to remove (and Tenant shall not remove) any of the Tenant Improvements installed pursuant to **<u>Exhibit B</u>**. Tenant's obligations under this Section 15.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

------

**<u>ARTICLE 16</u>**

**<u>HOLDING OVER</u>**

If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term hereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate (prorated for partial months) equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease. Such tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Landlord hereby expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.

**<u>ARTICLE 17</u>**

**<u>ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES</u>**

Within ten (10) business days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be in the form as may be reasonably required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project (or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee or Landlord's prospective mortgagees. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. Failure of Tenant to timely execute and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception. Failure by Tenant to so deliver such estoppel certificate shall be a material default of the provisions of this Lease after the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods. In addition, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord, and shall indemnify Landlord from and against any loss, cost, damage or expense, incidental, consequential, or otherwise, including attorneys' fees, arising or accruing directly or indirectly, from any failure of Tenant to execute or deliver to Landlord any such estoppel certificate. Upon request from time to time, which request may only be made if Landlord is selling, financing or refinancing the Building (including in connection with any Landlord entity level financing/restructuring) and if Tenant is not then publicly traded, Tenant agrees to provide to Landlord, within ten (10) days after Landlord's delivery of written request therefor, current financial statements for Tenant, dated no earlier than one (1) year prior to such written request, certified as accurate by Tenant or, if available, audited financial statements prepared by an independent certified public accountant with copies of the auditor's statement. If any guaranty is executed in connection with this Lease, Tenant also agrees to deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) days after Landlord's delivery of written request therefor, current financial statements of the guarantor in a form consistent with the foregoing criteria. Landlord shall hold all such statements confidentially.

**<u>ARTICLE 18</u>**

**<u>SUBORDINATION</u>**

This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and future ground leases of the Project and to the lien of any mortgages or trust deeds, now or hereafter in force against the Project, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages or trust deeds, or the lessors under such ground lease, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto; provided, however, that a condition precedent to the subordination of this Lease to any future ground or underlying lease or to the lien of any future mortgage or deed of trust is that Landlord shall obtain for the benefit of Tenant a commercially reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from the landlord or lender of such future instrument. Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage, or if any ground lease is terminated, to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale, or to the lessor of such ground lease, as the case may be, if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lessor as the lessor under this Lease. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, or ground leases. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale. Within sixty (60) days after the execution of this Lease (or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible), Landlord shall obtain a non-disturbance agreement from the holder of any preexisting mortgage encumbering the Building in the form attached hereto as **<u>Exhibit E</u>**<u>,</u> which Tenant agrees to promptly execute.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.1.3 Abandonment of the Premises by Tenant.

Upon the occurrence of any such default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.2.1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; plus

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) at Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.

As used in Sections 19.2.1(i) and (ii), above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Section 4.5 above. As used in Section 19.2.1(iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.2.3 Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform or otherwise cure any such obligation, provision, covenant or condition on Tenant's part to be observed or performed (and may enter the Premises for such purposes). In the event of Tenant's failure to perform any of its obligations or covenants under this Lease, and such failure to perform poses a material risk of injury or harm to persons or damage to or loss of property, then Landlord shall have the right to cure or otherwise perform such covenant or obligation at any time after such failure to perform by Tenant, whether or not any such notice or cure period set forth in Section 19.1 above has expired. Any such actions undertaken by Landlord pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 19.2.3 shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord's rights and remedies as a result of Tenant's failure to perform and shall not release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.3 <u>Payment by Tenant</u>. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor: (i) sums equal to expenditures reasonably made and obligations incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord's performance or cure of any of Tenant's obligations pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.2.3 above; and (ii) sums equal to all expenditures made and obligations incurred by Landlord in collecting or attempting to collect the Rent or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any rights of Landlord under this Lease or pursuant to law, including, without limitation, all legal fees and other amounts so expended.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.4 <u>Sublessees of Tenant</u>. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 19, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord's sole discretion, succeed to Tenant's interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements. If Landlord elects to succeed to Tenant's interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.5 <u>Waiver of Default</u>. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach by Tenant of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or later violation or breach by Tenant of the same or any other of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord in enforcement of one or more of the remedies herein provided upon a default by Tenant shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default. The acceptance of any Rent hereunder by Landlord following the occurrence of any default, whether or not known to Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such default, except only a default in the payment of the Rent so accepted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.6 <u>Efforts to Relet</u>. For the purposes of this Article 19, Tenant's right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated by efforts of Landlord to relet the Premises, by its acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord's interests hereunder. The foregoing enumeration is not exhaustive, but merely illustrative of acts which may be performed by Landlord without terminating Tenant's right to possession.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.7 <u>Bankruptcy</u>. In the event a debtor, trustee or debtor in possession under the Bankruptcy Code, or another person with similar rights, duties and powers under any other applicable laws, proposes to cure any default under this Lease or to assume or assign this Lease and is obliged to provide adequate assurance to Landlord that (a) a default shall be cured, (b) Landlord shall be compensated for its damages arising from any breach of this Lease and (c) future performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall occur, then such adequate assurances shall include any or all of the following, as designated by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Those acts specified in the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable laws as included within the meaning of "adequate assurance," even if this Lease does not concern a shopping center or other facility described in such applicable laws;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) A prompt cash payment to compensate Landlord for any monetary defaults or actual damages arising directly from a breach of this Lease;

**<u>LETTER OF CREDIT</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.1 <u>Delivery of Letter of Credit</u>. Concurrently with Tenant's execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an unconditional, clean, irrevocable letter of credit (the "**L-C**") in the amount set forth in Section 10 of the Summary (the "**L-C Amount**"), which L-C shall be issued by a money-center, solvent and nationally recognized bank (a bank which accepts deposits, maintains accounts, has a California office which will negotiate a letter of credit, or will accept draw requests by facsimile or overnight courier, and whose deposits are insured by the FDIC) reasonably acceptable to Landlord (such approved, issuing bank being referred to herein as the "**Bank**"), which Bank must have a short term Fitch Rating which is not less than "F1", and a long term Fitch Rating which is not less than "A"(or in the event such Fitch Ratings are no longer available, a comparable rating from Standard and Poor's Professional Rating Service or Moody's Professional Rating Service) (collectively, the "**Bank's Credit Rating Threshold**"), and which L-C shall be in the form of **<u>Exhibit F</u>** attached hereto. Landlord hereby approves of Silicon Valley Bank as the Bank. Tenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining the L-C. The L-C shall (i) be "callable" at sight, irrevocable and unconditional, (ii) be maintained in effect, whether through renewal or extension, for the period commencing on the date of this Lease and continuing until the date (the "**L-C Expiration Date**") that is no less than sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Lease Term as the same may be extended, and Tenant shall deliver a new L-C or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the L-C then held by Landlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, (iii) be fully assignable by Landlord, its successors and assigns, (iv) permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, and (v) be otherwise subject to the International Standby Practices-ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication #590. Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the L-C if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable: (A) such amount is due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease and is not paid within applicable notice and cure periods, or (B) Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or any state bankruptcy code (collectively, "**Bankruptcy Code**"), or (C) an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code and is not dismissed within sixty (60) days, or (D) the Lease has been rejected, or is deemed rejected, under Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, following the filing of a voluntary petition by Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or the filing of an involuntary petition against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or (E) the Bank has notified Landlord that the L-C will not be renewed or extended through the L-C Expiration Date and Tenant fails to provide a replacement letter of credit that complies with the requirements in this section at least thirty (30) days before the expiration date of the L-C, or (F) Tenant is placed into receivership or conservatorship, or becomes subject to similar proceedings under Federal or State law that is not dismissed within sixty (60) days, or (G) Tenant executes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (H) if (1) any of the Bank's Fitch Ratings (or other comparable ratings to the extent the Fitch Ratings are no longer available) have been reduced below the Bank's Credit Rating Threshold, or (2) there is otherwise a material adverse change in the financial condition of the Bank, and Tenant has failed to provide Landlord with a replacement letter of credit, conforming in all respects to the requirements of this Article 20 (including, but not limited to, the requirements placed on the issuing Bank more particularly set forth in this Section 20.1 above), in the amount of the applicable L-C Amount, within ten (10) business days following Landlord's written demand therefor (with no other notice or cure or grace period being applicable thereto, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary) (each of the foregoing being an "**L-C Draw Event**"). The L-C shall be honored by the Bank regardless of whether Tenant disputes Landlord's right to draw upon the L-C. In addition, in the event the Bank is placed into receivership or conservatorship by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any successor or similar entity, then, effective as of the date such receivership or conservatorship occurs, said L-C shall be deemed to fail to meet the requirements of this Article 21, and, within ten (10) business days following Landlord's notice to Tenant of such receivership or conservatorship (the "**L-C FDIC Replacement Notice**"), Tenant shall replace such L-C with a substitute letter of credit from a different issuer (which issuer shall meet or exceed the Bank's Credit Rating Threshold and shall otherwise be acceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion) and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Article 20. If Tenant fails to replace such L-C with such conforming, substitute letter of credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 20.1, then, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to declare Tenant in default of this Lease for which there shall be no notice or grace or cure periods being applicable thereto (other than the aforesaid ten (10) business day period). In the event of an assignment by Tenant of its interest in the Lease (and irrespective of whether Landlord's consent is required for such assignment), the acceptance of any replacement or substitute letter of credit by Landlord from the assignee shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, in Landlord's reasonable discretion. In the event that Landlord draws upon the L-C (i) solely due to Tenant's failure to renew or replace the L-C on a timely basis, such failure shall not constitute a default hereunder and (ii) Tenant shall at any time thereafter be entitled to provide Landlord with a replacement L-C that satisfies the requirements hereunder, at which time Landlord shall return the cash proceeds of the original L-C drawn by Landlord.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.2 <u>Application of L-C</u>. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the L-C upon the occurrence of any L-C Draw Event. In the event of any L-C Draw Event, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant (except in connection with an L-C Draw Event under Section 20.1(H) above), draw upon the L-C, in part or in whole, to cure any such L-C Draw Event and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from Tenant's breach or default of the Lease or other L-C Draw Event and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages arising out of, or incurred in connection with, the termination of this Lease, including, without limitation, those specifically identified in Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code. The use, application or retention of the L-C, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any applicable law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the L-C, and such L-C shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the L-C, either prior to or following a "draw" by Landlord of any portion of the L-C, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord's right to draw upon the L-C. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the L-C conditional to justify the issuer of the L-C in failing to honor a drawing upon such L-C in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (i) the L-C constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Bank, (ii) Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract, (iii) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the L-C or the proceeds thereof, and (iv) in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant is placed into receivership or conservatorship, and/or there is an event of a receivership, conservatorship or a bankruptcy filing by, or on behalf of, Tenant, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant's bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord's claim and/or rights to the L-C and/or the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.3 <u>L-C Amount; Maintenance of L-C by Tenant; Liquidated Damages</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.3.1 <u>L-C Amount</u>. The L-C Amount shall be equal to the amount set forth in Section 10 of the Summary (but subject to reduction as provided in Section 20.9 below).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.3.2 <u>In General</u>. If, as a result of any drawing by Landlord of all or any portion of the L-C, the amount of the L-C shall be less than the L-C Amount, Tenant shall, within five (5) business days thereafter, provide Landlord with (i) an amendment to the L-C restoring such L-C to the L-C Amount or (ii) additional L-Cs in an amount equal to the deficiency, which additional L-Cs shall comply with all of the provisions of this Article 20. If Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing, Landlord shall send a second notice requesting that Tenant provide Landlord with (i) an amendment to the L-C restoring such L-C to the L-C Amount or (ii) additional L-Cs in an amount equal to the deficiency. If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with (i) an amendment to the L-C restoring such L-C to the L-C Amount or (ii) additional L-Cs in an amount equal to the deficiency within five (5) business days of receipt of such second notice, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 19.1, the same shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease (without the need for any additional notice and/or cure period). Tenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the L-C or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.3.3 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the L-C expires earlier than the L-C Expiration Date, Landlord will accept a renewal thereof (such renewal letter of credit to be in effect and delivered to Landlord, as applicable, not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the L-C), which shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable as above provided through the L-C Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring L-C or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. However, if the L-C is not timely renewed, or if Tenant fails to maintain the L-C in the amount and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Article 20, Landlord shall have the right to either (x) present the L-C to the Bank in accordance with the terms of this Article 20, and the proceeds of the L-C may be applied by Landlord against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due and/or to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord (a) has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it will suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease and (b) is permitted to recover in accordance with the other terms and conditions of this Lease, or (y) pursue its remedy under Section 20.3.3 below. In the event Landlord elects to exercise its rights under the foregoing item (x), Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the L-C Expiration Date the amount of any proceeds of the L-C received by Landlord and not applied against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that was not paid when due or used to pay for any losses and/or damages suffered by Landlord (or reasonably estimated by Landlord that it will suffer) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.4 <u>Transfer and Encumbrance</u>. The L-C shall provide that Landlord, its successors and assigns, may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant's consent thereto, transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest in and to the L-C to another party, person or entity, in connection with the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease, or separate from this Lease if such assignment is to Landlord's lender. In the event of a transfer of Landlord's interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the L-C to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, provided the transferee assumes all of Landlord's obligations hereunder, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of said L-C to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the L-C by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate such transfer, and Landlord shall be responsible for paying the Bank's reasonable transfer and processing fees in connection therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.5 <u>L-C Not a Security Deposit</u>. Landlord and Tenant (1) acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the L-C or any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof be deemed to be or treated as a "security deposit" under any law applicable to security deposits in the commercial context, including, but not limited to, Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, as such Section now exists or as it may be hereafter amended or succeeded (the "**Security Deposit Laws**"), (2) acknowledge and agree that the L-C (including any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof) is not intended to serve as a security deposit, and the Security Deposit Laws shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto, and (3) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations that any such party may now, or in the future will, have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and any successor statute, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in effect, which (x) establish the time frame by which a landlord must refund a security deposit under a lease, and/or (y) provide that a landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by a tenant or to clean the premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums specified in this Article 20 and/or those sums reasonably necessary to (a) compensate Landlord for any loss or damage caused by Tenant's breach of this Lease, including any damages Landlord suffers following termination of this Lease, and/or (b) compensate Landlord for any and all damages arising out of, or incurred in connection with, the termination of this Lease, including, without limitation, those specifically identified in Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.6 <u>Non-Interference By Tenant</u>. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with any payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the L-C, either prior to or following a "draw" by Landlord of all or any portion of the L-C, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord's right to draw down all or any portion of the L-C. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the L-C conditional and thereby afford the Bank a justification for failing to honor a drawing upon such L-C in a timely manner. Tenant shall not request or instruct the Bank of any L-C to refrain from paying sight draft(s) drawn under such L-C.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.7 <u>Waiver of Certain Relief</u>. Tenant unconditionally and irrevocably waives (and as an independent covenant hereunder, covenants not to assert) any right to claim or obtain any of the following relief in connection with the L-C:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.7.1 A temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, permanent injunction, or other order that would prevent, restrain or restrict the presentment of sight drafts drawn under any L-C or the Bank's honoring or payment of sight draft(s); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.7.2 Any attachment, garnishment, or levy in any manner upon either the proceeds of any L-C or the obligations of the Bank (either before or after the presentment to the Bank of sight drafts drawn under such L-C) based on any theory whatsoever.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.8 **<u>Remedy for Improper Drafts</u>.** Tenant's sole remedy in connection with the improper presentment or payment of sight drafts drawn under any L-C shall be the right to obtain from Landlord a refund of the amount of any sight draft(s) that were improperly presented or the proceeds of which were misapplied, together with interest at the Interest Rate and reasonable actual out-of-pocket attorneys' fees, provided that at the time of such refund, Tenant increases the amount of such L-C to the amount (if any) then required under the applicable provisions of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that the presentment of sight drafts drawn under any L-C, or the Bank's payment of sight drafts drawn under such L-C, could not under any circumstances cause Tenant injury that could not be remedied by an award of money damages, and that the recovery of money damages would be an adequate remedy therefor. In the event Tenant shall be entitled to a refund as aforesaid and Landlord shall fail to make such payment within ten (10) business days after demand, Tenant shall have the right to deduct the amount thereof together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the next installment(s) of Base Rent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.9 <u>Reduction of L-C Amount</u>. Provided that the "L-C Reduction Condition" (as defined below) is then satisfied, the L-C Amount shall be reduced upon the "Reduction Date" (as defined below) occurring thereafter, by the "**L-C Reduction Amount**"; provided, however, the L-C Amount shall never be less than Four Million Four Hundred Twenty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Thirty and 80/100 Dollars ($4,427,530.80). The "**Reduction Date**" shall mean the last day of the thirty-sixth (36<sup>th</sup>) monthly anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date. The "**L-C Reduction Amount**" shall mean Four Million Four Hundred Twenty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Thirty and 80/100 Dollars ($4,427,530.80). The reduction of the L-C Amount shall be effectuated by Tenant's delivery to Landlord of a certificate of amendment to the existing L-C, conforming in all respects to the requirements of this <u>Article 20,</u> in the amount of the applicable reduced L-C Amount. If Tenant is allowed to reduce the L-C Amount, then Landlord shall, at no cost to Landlord, reasonably cooperate with Tenant in order to effectuate such reduction. "**L-C Reduction Condition**" shall mean that Tenant is not then in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods. If the L-C Reduction Condition is not satisfied as of the Reduction Date, then any decrease may take place retroactively upon satisfaction of the L-C Reduction Condition; provided that no decrease may take place retroactively if this Lease is terminated as a result of an Event of Default by Tenant.

**<u>ARTICLE 21</u>**

**<u>COMPLIANCE WITH LAW</u>**

Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule, regulation or requirement now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated. At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all such governmental measures, other than the making of structural changes or changes to the Building's life safety system or alterations that would be considered capital expenditures (collectively the "**Excluded Changes**"); provided, however, to the extent such Excluded Changes are required due to or triggered by Tenant's improvements or alterations to and/or manner of use of the Premises, Landlord shall perform such work, at Tenant's cost (which shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of invoice therefor from Landlord). In addition, Tenant shall fully comply with all present or future legally required programs intended to manage parking, transportation or traffic in and around the Project, and in connection therewith, Tenant shall take responsible action for the transportation planning and management of all employees located at the Premises by working directly with Landlord, any governmental transportation management organization or any other transportation-related committees or entities. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any judicial action, regardless of whether Landlord is a party thereto, that Tenant has violated any of said governmental measures, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.

------

**<u>ARTICLE 22</u>**

**<u>ENTRY BY LANDLORD</u>**

Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Tenant (of not less than one (1) business day except in the event of an emergency) to enter the Premises to: (i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants, or to the ground lessors; (iii) to post notices of nonresponsibility; or (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises or the Building if necessary to comply with current building codes or other applicable laws, or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the Building, or as Landlord may otherwise deem necessary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 22, Landlord may enter the Premises at any time, without notice to Tenant, in emergency situations and/or to perform janitorial or other services required of Landlord pursuant to this Lease. Any such entries shall be without the abatement of Rent and shall include the right to take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes. Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, lost profits, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the above purposes, Landlord shall at all times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults, safes and special security areas designated in advance by Tenant. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to enter without notice and use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises in the manner hereinbefore described shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any entry by Landlord or Landlord's agents shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's operations more than reasonably necessary, and shall comply with Tenant's reasonable security measures, including wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) where required.

**<u>ARTICLE 23</u>**

**<u>PARKING</u>**

Throughout the Lease Term, (i) Tenant shall have the right to use, on an unreserved basis, in common with other tenants of the Building and free of parking charges, the number of unreserved parking passes set forth in Section 12 of the Summary, which unreserved parking passes are located in the Parking Areas servicing the Building as shall be designated by Landlord from time to time for unreserved parking for the tenants of the Building; and (ii) Tenant shall have the right to use twenty (20) reserved parking spaces that shall not require use of a valet. The location of such reserved parking passes shall be mutually determined by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall (i) abide by (A) the Parking Rules and Regulations which are in effect on the date hereof, as set forth in the attached **<u>Exhibit D</u>** and all reasonable modifications and additions thereto which are prescribed from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the Parking Areas by Landlord, and/or Landlord's Parking Operator (as defined below), and (B) all recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Building, and (ii) cooperate in seeing that Tenant's employees and visitors also comply with the Parking Rules and Regulations (and all such modifications and additions thereto, as the case may be), any such other rules and regulations and covenants, conditions and restrictions. Landlord (and/or any other owners of the Project) specifically reserve the right to change the size, configuration, design, layout, location and all other aspects of the Parking Areas (including without limitation, implementing paid visitor parking), and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, without incurring any liability to Tenant and without any abatement of Rent under this Lease, from time to time, temporarily close-off or restrict access to the Parking Areas, so long as the same does not (other than on a temporary basis of less than one (1) week) reduce the number and availability of parking passes or reserved spaces available to Tenant under this Lease. Landlord may delegate its responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator (the "**Parking Operator**") in which case the Parking Operator shall have all the rights of control attributed hereby to Landlord. Any parking tax or other charges imposed by governmental authorities in connection with the use of such parking shall be paid directly by Tenant or the parking users, or, if directly imposed against Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all such taxes and/or charges thirty (30) days after Landlord's demand therefor. The parking rights provided to Tenant pursuant to this Article 23 are provided solely for use by Tenant's own personnel and such rights may not be transferred, assigned, subleased or otherwise alienated by Tenant without Landlord's prior approval, except in connection with an assignment of this Lease or sublease of the Premises made in accordance with Article 14 above. All visitor parking by Tenant's visitors shall be subject to availability, as reasonably determined by Landlord (and/or the Parking Operator, as the case may be), parking in such visitor parking areas as may be designated by Landlord (and/or the Parking Operator from time to time, and payment by such visitors of the prevailing visitor parking rate (if any) charged by Landlord (and/or the Parking Operator) from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.3 <u>No Waiver</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.4 <u>Modification of Lease</u>. If any current or prospective mortgagee or ground lessor for the Project requires modifications to this Lease, which modifications will not cause an increased cost or expense to Tenant or in any other way materially and adversely change the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder or unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of or access to the Premises, then and in such event, Tenant agrees that this Lease may be so modified and agrees to execute whatever reasonable documents are required therefor and deliver the same to Landlord within ten (10) days following the request therefor. If Landlord or any such current or prospective mortgagee or ground lessor require execution of a short form of Lease for recording, containing, among other customary provisions, the names of the parties, a description of the Premises and the Lease Term, Tenant shall execute such short form of Lease and to deliver the same to Landlord within ten (10) days following the request therefor.

The liability of any transferee of Landlord shall be limited to the amount of the interest of such transferee in the Project including all proceeds therefrom and such transferee shall otherwise be without personal liability under this Lease, and Tenant hereby expressly waives and releases such personal liability on behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant.

Except as provided in Section 24.4 of this Lease, neither this Lease, nor any memorandum, affidavit or other writing with respect thereto, shall be recorded by Tenant or by anyone acting through, under or on behalf of Tenant, and the recording thereof in violation of this provision shall make this Lease null and void at Landlord's election.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.7 <u>Landlord's Title; Air Rights</u>. Landlord's title is and always shall be paramount to the title of Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall empower Tenant to do any act which can, shall or may encumber the title of Landlord. No rights to any view or to light or air over any property, whether belonging to Landlord or any other person, are granted to Tenant by this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.8 <u>Tenant's Signage</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.8.1 <u>Interior Signage</u>. Provided all signs are in keeping with the quality, design and style of the Building and Project, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may install identification signage anywhere in the Premises including, with respect to Building I, in the entry floor lobby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.8.2 <u>Prohibited Signage and Other Items</u>. Any signs, window coverings, or blinds (even if the same are located behind the Landlord-approved window coverings for the Building), or other items visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building, shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord, in its sole discretion.

In addition, the Tenant's Signage shall be subject to Tenant's receipt of all necessary governmental or quasi-governmental approvals and permits (collectively, "**Governmental Approvals**") and shall be subject to the CC&Rs (as the same may be modified). Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at no cost to Landlord, to assist Tenant in obtaining all necessary Governmental Approvals for the Tenant's Signage. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation or warranty to Tenant with respect to the probability of obtaining all necessary Governmental Approvals for the Tenant's Signage. In the event Tenant does not receive the necessary Governmental Approvals for the Tenant's Signage, Tenant's and Landlord's rights and obligations under the remaining terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall be unaffected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.8.5 <u>Objectionable Name</u>. To the extent Tenant desires to change the name and/or logo set forth on the Tenant's Signage, such name and/or logo shall not have a name which relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political faction or orientation, which is inconsistent with the quality of the Project, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of the Comparable Buildings (an "**Objectionable Name**"). Landlord agrees that "Freenome" or "Freenome Holdings" is not an Objectionable Name.

The building top Tenant's Signage rights granted to Tenant under Section 24.8.3 may not be used for subtenants subleasing less than fifty percent (50%) of the space in the applicable Building; provided, however, that any such subtenant or any assignee's right to use such building top sign rights is subject to the name of such assignee or subtenant not being an Objectionable Name.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.8.7 <u>Cost and Maintenance; Change and Replacement</u>. The actual costs of the Tenant's Signage and the installation, design, construction and any and all other costs associated with the Tenant's Signage, including, without limitation, utility charges and hook-up fees, permits, and maintenance and repairs, shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. Should the Tenant's Signage require repairs and/or maintenance, as determined in Landlord's reasonable judgment, Landlord shall have the right to provide notice thereof to Tenant and Tenant (except as set forth below) shall cause such repairs and/or maintenance to be performed within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense; provided, however, if such repairs and/or maintenance are reasonably expected to require longer than thirty (30) days to perform, Tenant shall commence such repairs and/or maintenance within such thirty (30) day period and shall diligently prosecute such repairs and maintenance to completion. Should Tenant fail to perform such repairs and/or maintenance within the periods described in the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall, upon the delivery of an additional five (5) business days' prior written notice, have the right to cause such work to be performed and to charge Tenant as Additional Rent for the actual, reasonable cost of such work. Subject to Tenant's agreement to comply with the terms of this Section 24.8 and Landlord's reasonable approval, Tenant shall be permitted to change and/or replace the Tenant's Signage periodically in Tenant's reasonable discretion. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or upon any earlier termination of Tenant's rights to the Tenant's Signage as set forth herein, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, cause the Tenant's Signage to be removed and shall repair any damage caused by such removal. If Tenant fails to timely remove the Tenant's Signage or to restore the areas in which such the Tenant's Signage was located, as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, then Landlord may perform such work, and all actual, reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in so performing shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of an invoice therefor. The terms and conditions of this Section 24.8.7 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.9 <u>Relationship of Parties</u>. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third party to create the relationship of principal and agent, partnership, joint venturer or any association between Landlord and Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of Rent nor any act of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship between Landlord and Tenant other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.10 <u>Application of Payments</u>. Landlord shall have the right to apply payments received from Tenant pursuant to this Lease, regardless of Tenant's designation of such payments, to satisfy any obligations of Tenant hereunder, in such order and amounts as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may elect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.11 <u>Time of Essence</u>. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each of its provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.12 <u>Partial Invalidity</u>. If any term, provision or condition contained in this Lease shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term, provision or condition to persons or circumstances other than those with respect to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each and every other term, provision and condition of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent possible permitted by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.13 <u>No Warranty</u>. In executing and delivering this Lease, Tenant has not relied on any representation, including, but not limited to, any representation whatsoever as to the amount of any item comprising Additional Rent or the amount of the Additional Rent in the aggregate or that Landlord is furnishing the same services to other tenants, at all, on the same level or on the same basis, or any warranty or any statement of Landlord which is not set forth herein or in one or more of the Exhibits attached hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.14 <u>Landlord Exculpation</u>. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, and notwithstanding any applicable law to the contrary, the liability of Landlord and the Landlord Parties under this Lease (including any successor landlord) and any recourse by Tenant against Landlord or the Landlord Parties shall be limited solely and exclusively to an amount which is equal to the ownership interest of Landlord in the Project (including any proceeds thereof), and neither Landlord, nor any of the Landlord Parties (except for Landlord's liability as limited in the preceding portion of this sentence) shall have any personal liability therefor, and Tenant hereby expressly waives and releases such personal liability on behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.15 <u>Entire Agreement</u>. There are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Lease and this Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between the parties hereto or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter thereof, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or construe this Lease. This Lease and any side letter or separate agreement executed by Landlord and Tenant in connection with this Lease and dated of even date herewith contain all of the terms, covenants, conditions, warranties and agreements of the parties relating in any manner to the rental, use and occupancy of the Premises, shall be considered to be the only agreement between the parties hereto and their representatives and agents, and none of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease can be modified, deleted or added to except in writing signed by the parties hereto. All negotiations and oral agreements acceptable to both parties have been merged into and are included herein. There are no other representations or warranties between the parties, and all reliance with respect to representations is based totally upon the representations and agreements contained in this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.16 <u>Right to Lease</u>. Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Building, the Other Building and/or in any other building and/or any other portion of the Project as Landlord in the exercise of its sole business judgment shall determine to best promote the interests of the Project. Tenant does not rely on the fact, nor does Landlord represent, that any specific tenant or type or number of tenants shall, during the Lease Term, occupy any space in the Building, the Other Building or Project.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.17 <u>Force Majeure</u>. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain services, labor, or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental actions, civil commotions, fire or other casualty, actual or threatened public health emergency (including, without limitation, epidemic, pandemic, famine, disease, plague, quarantine, and other significant public health risk), governmental edicts, declarations or quarantines by a governmental entity or health organization (including, without limitation, any shelter in place orders, stay at home orders or any restrictions on travel related thereto that preclude Tenant, its agents, contractors or its employees from accessing the Premises, national or regional emergency), breaches in cybersecurity and, other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, except with respect to the obligations imposed with regard to Rent and other charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (collectively, a "**Force Majeure**"), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, shall excuse the performance of such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage and, therefore, if this Lease specifies a time period for performance of an obligation of either party, that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in such party's performance caused by a Force Majeure; provided, however, no event of Force Majeure shall: (i) excuse Tenant's obligations to pay Rent and other charges due pursuant to this Lease or Tenant's obligations under the Tenant Work Letter, (ii) be grounds for Tenant to abate any portion of Rent due pursuant to this Lease, or entitle either party to terminate this Lease, except as allowed pursuant to Articles 11 or 12 of this Lease, (iii) excuse Tenant's obligations under Article 5 of this Lease, (iv) delay Tenant's rights to abate or offset rent or terminate this Lease in Sections 2, 11 or 12 or Section 2.2.4 of Exhibit B; or (v) delay Tenant's ability to abate rent in Section 6.8 in the event Landlord is delayed in remedying an event that would otherwise entitle Tenant to abatement under that section; provided, however that the foregoing shall not limit the extension of any time periods under this Lease which are expressly extended due to Force Majeure delays (subject to any express time limits in this Lease). Except as expressly provided in Section 5.6 of **<u>Exhibit B</u>** (pertaining to Landlord Delays pertaining to COVID-19), in no event shall Force Majeure events extend the Building I Lease Commencement Date nor the Building III Lease Commencement Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.18 <u>Waiver of Redemption by Tenant</u>. Tenant hereby waives for Tenant and for all those claiming under Tenant all right now or hereafter existing to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, Tenant's right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.19 <u>Notices</u>. All notices, demands, statements or communications (collectively, "Notices") given or required to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in writing, shall be (A) sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, (B) delivered by a nationally recognized overnight courier, or (C) delivered personally (i) to Tenant at the appropriate address set forth in Section 5 of the Summary, or to such other place as Tenant may from time to time designate in a Notice to Landlord; or (ii) to Landlord at the addresses set forth in Section 3 of the Summary, or to such other firm or to such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in a Notice to Tenant. Any Notice will be deemed given three (3) business days after the date it is mailed as provided in this Section 24.19, the date overnight courier delivery is made or upon the date personal delivery is made or rejected. If Tenant is notified of the identity and address of Landlord's mortgagee or ground lessor, Tenant shall give to such mortgagee or ground lessor written notice of any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease by registered or certified mail, and such mortgagee or ground lessor shall be given a reasonable opportunity to cure such default prior to Tenant's exercising any remedy available to Tenant.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.20 <u>Joint and Several</u>. If there is more than one person or entity executing this Lease as Tenant, the obligations imposed upon such persons and entities under this Lease are and shall be joint and several.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.21 <u>Representations</u>. Tenant guarantees, warrants and represents that (a) Tenant is duly incorporated or otherwise established or formed and validly existing under the laws of its state of incorporation, establishment or formation, (b) Tenant has and is duly qualified to do business in the state in which the Project is located, (c) Tenant has full corporate, partnership, trust, association or other appropriate power and authority to enter into this Lease and to perform all Tenant's obligations hereunder, (d) each person (and all of the persons if more than one signs) signing this Lease on behalf of Tenant is duly and validly authorized to do so and (e) neither (i) the execution, delivery or performance of this Lease nor (ii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will violate or conflict with any provision of documents or instruments under which Tenant is constituted or to which Tenant is a party. In addition, Tenant guarantees, warrants and represents that it is not a person or entity with whom U.S. persons or entities are restricted from doing business under regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control ("**OFAC**") of the Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFAC's Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism) or other similar governmental action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.22 <u>Jury Trial; Attorneys' Fees</u>. IF EITHER PARTY COMMENCES LITIGATION AGAINST THE OTHER FOR THE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS LEASE, FOR DAMAGES FOR THE BREACH HEREOF OR OTHERWISE FOR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY HEREUNDER, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE TO AND HEREBY DO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. In the event of any such commencement of litigation, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party such costs and reasonable attorneys' fees as may have been incurred, including any and all costs incurred in enforcing, perfecting and executing such judgment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.23 <u>Governing Law</u>. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Project is located.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.24 <u>Submission of Lease</u>. Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or an option for lease, and it is not effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.25 <u>Brokers</u>. Landlord and Tenant each hereby represents and warrants to the other party that it (i) has had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, excepting only the real estate brokers or agents specified in Section 11 of the Summary (collectively, the "Brokers"), and (ii) knows of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease. Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, and costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of the indemnifying party's dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with this Lease other than the Brokers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.26 <u>Independent Covenants</u>. This Lease shall be construed as though the covenants herein between Landlord and Tenant are independent and not dependent and Tenant hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute to the contrary and agrees that if Landlord fails to perform its obligations set forth herein, Tenant shall not be entitled to make any repairs or perform any acts hereunder at Landlord's expense or to any setoff of the Rent or other amounts owing hereunder against Landlord; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way impair the right of Tenant to commence a separate action against Landlord for any violation by Landlord of the provisions hereof so long as notice is first given to Landlord and any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Building, Project or any portion thereof, of whose address Tenant has theretofore been notified, and an opportunity is granted to Landlord and such holder to correct such violations as provided above.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.27 <u>Building Name and Signage</u>. Landlord shall have the right at any time to change the name(s) of the Building, the Other Building and Project and to install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the exterior and on the interior of the Building, the Other Building and any portion of the Project as Landlord may, in Landlord's sole discretion, desire. Tenant shall not use the names of the Building, the Other Building or Project or use pictures or illustrations of the Building, the Other Building or Project in advertising or other publicity, without the prior written consent of Landlord.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.28 <u>Building Directory</u>. If the Building contains a tenant name directory, Landlord shall include Tenant's name and location in the Building on one (1) line on the Building directory. The initial cost of such directory signage shall be paid for by Landlord, but any subsequent charges thereto shall be at Tenant's cost.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.29 <u>Confidentiality</u>. Except as may be required by law or in litigation with Landlord, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the content of this Lease and any related documents confidential and not disclose such confidential information to any person or entity other than Tenant's financial, legal, and space planning consultants, proposed subtenants and current and proposed lenders, investors and business partners.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.30 <u>Landlord's Construction</u>. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease or in the Tenant Work Letter: (i) Landlord has no obligation to alter, remodel, improve, renovate, repair or decorate the Premises, the Building, the Other Building, the Project, or any part thereof; and (ii) no representations or warranties respecting the condition of the Premises, the Building, the Other Building or the Project have been made by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that prior to and during the Lease Term, Landlord (and/or any common area association) will be completing construction and/or demolition work pertaining to various portions of the Building, the Other Building, the Premises, and/or the Project, including without limitation, landscaping and tenant improvements for premises for other tenants and, at Landlord's sole election, such other buildings, improvements, landscaping and other facilities within or as part of the Project as Landlord (and/or such common area association) shall from time to time desire (collectively, the "**Construction**"). In connection with such Construction, Landlord may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures in the Building and/or the Other Building, limit or eliminate access to portions of the Project, including portions of the common areas, or perform work in the Building, the Other Building and/or the Project, which work may create noise, dust or leave debris in the Building, the Other Building and/or the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's Construction shall be performed in such a manner as to not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's access to or use of the Premises for Tenant's business purposes, or materially decrease Tenant's rights or increase Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Tenant hereby agrees that such Construction and Landlord's actions in connection with such Construction shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent so long as such Construction does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's access to or use of the Premises for Tenant's business purposes. Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from such Construction, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant's personal property or improvements resulting from such Construction or Landlord's actions in connection with such Construction, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Construction or Landlord's actions in connection with such Construction. Landlord reserves full control over the Project to the extent not inconsistent with Tenant's enjoyment the same as provided in this Lease. This reservation includes Landlord's right to subdivide the Project and convert portions of the Project to condominium units, change the size of the Project by selling all or a portion of the Project or adding real property and any improvements thereon to the Project; grant easements and licenses to third parties and maintain or establish ownership of the Buildings separate from the fee title to the Project.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.31 <u>Intentionally Omitted</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.32 <u>Net Lease</u>. This Lease shall be deemed and construed to be an "absolute net lease" and, except as herein expressly provided, Landlord shall receive all payments required to be made by Tenant free from all charges, assessments, impositions, expenses and deductions of any and every kind or nature whatsoever. Landlord shall not be required to furnish any services or facilities or to make any repairs, replacements or alterations of any kind in or on the Premises except as specifically provided herein.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.33 <u>Water Sensors</u>. Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, be responsible for promptly installing web-enabled wireless water leak sensor devices designed to alert the Tenant on a twenty-four (24) hour seven (7) day per week basis if a water leak is occurring in the floors of Building III that abut other leasable premises or Common Areas (which water sensor device(s) located in such floors in the Premises shall be referred to herein as "**Water Sensors**"). The Water Sensors shall be installed in any areas in such floors in the Premises where water is utilized (such as sinks, pipes, faucets, water heaters, coffee machines, ice machines, water dispensers and water fountains) (the "**Sensor Areas**"). With respect to the installation of any such Water Sensors, Tenant shall obtain Landlord's prior written consent, use an experienced and qualified contractor reasonably approved by Landlord, and comply with all of the other provisions of Article 8 of this Lease. Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, pursuant to Article 7 of this Lease keep any Water Sensors located in the Premises (whether installed by Tenant or someone else) in good working order, repair and condition at all times during the Lease Term and comply with all of the other provisions of Article 7 of this Lease. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, Landlord has neither an obligation to monitor, repair or otherwise maintain the Water Sensors, nor an obligation to respond to any alerts it may receive from the Water Sensors or which may be generated from the Water Sensors. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or immediately following any earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to remove all Water Sensors installed by Tenant, and repair any damage caused by such removal; provided, however, if the Landlord does not require the Tenant to remove the Water Sensors as contemplated by the foregoing, then Tenant shall leave the Water Sensors in place together with all necessary user information such that the same may be used by a future occupant of the Premises (*e.g.,* the Water Sensors shall be unblocked and ready for use by a third-party). If Tenant is required to remove the Water Sensors pursuant to the foregoing and Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or fails to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Water Sensors, Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.34 <u>Earthquake Safety Information</u>. Landlord hereby advises Tenant that information regarding earthquake safety may be obtained from the following publications: (i) information obtained from the California Division of Mines and Geology in its 1997 report "Guidelines for Evaluating and Mitigating Seismic Hazards in California" (which can be downloaded from the Division's home page at <u>www.consrv.ca.gov</u>); (ii) "The Commercial Property Owner's Guide to Earthquake Safety," produced by the Seismic Safety Commission (SSC) and available at 1755 Creekside Oaks Drive, Suite 100, Sacramento, California 95883 or at 916-263-5506; and (iii) "Peace of Mind in Earthquake Country" (Peter Yanev, 1991, Chronicle Books).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.35 <u>Roof Rights</u>. In accordance with, and subject to, this Section 24.35 (including Tenant's obtaining all requisite permits and compliance with Landlord's reasonable construction rules and conditions as well as Landlord's reasonable approval of the contractors, vendors and materialmen in connection with the same (with Landlord having the right to require Tenant to utilize Landlord's roofing contractor)), Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right, at no additional fee, to install, operate and maintain, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, rooftop chillers, mechanical and electrical equipment and back-up generators relating to the conduct of business within the Premises, telecommunications antennas, microwave dishes and other communications equipment, including a reasonable sized dish on the roof of the Building (and reasonable equipment and cabling related thereto), servicing the business conducted by Tenant from within the Premises (all such equipment is defined collectively as the "**Rooftop Equipment**") upon Tenant's pro rata share of the available space on the roof of each Building as shown on **<u>Exhibit I</u>**. Landlord makes no representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to the condition of the roof of the Building (except as expressly set forth in this Lease), or the fitness or suitability of the roof of the Building for the installation, maintenance and operation of the Rooftop Equipment, including, without limitation, with respect to the quality and clarity of any receptions and transmissions to or from the Rooftop Equipment and the presence of any interference with such signals whether emanating from the Building or otherwise. The location, physical appearance, the size, the design and the weight of the Rooftop Equipment shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval. Tenant shall maintain such Rooftop Equipment, at Tenant's sole cost and expense. If the Rooftop Equipment constitutes a Specialty Alteration, Tenant shall remove such Rooftop Equipment upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or upon the termination of Tenant's rights under this Section 24.35, and shall repair any damage caused by such removal. Except together with a Transfer of the Premises or the Lease permitted under Article 14 above. Tenant shall not be entitled to license its Rooftop Equipment to any unrelated third party, nor shall Tenant be permitted to receive any revenues, fees or any other consideration for the use of such Rooftop Equipment by an unrelated third party.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.36 <u>Approvals</u>. Whenever this Lease requires an approval, consent, determination or judgment by either Landlord or Tenant, unless another standard is expressly set forth in this Lease, such approval, consent, determination or judgment and any conditions imposed thereby shall be reasonable and shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.37 <u>Storage Areas</u>. Tenant shall have dedicated general storage in the Parking Facility and the podium portion of the Building in the locations depicted on **<u>Exhibit G</u>** (collectively, the "**Storage Areas**"). The Storage Areas shall be considered part of the Premises under this Lease except that no Rent shall be payable by Tenant for such Storage Areas. Tenant shall take such Storage Areas in their then as-is condition and Landlord shall not be required to provide any improvements to the same.

**<u>LEASE</u>**

This Lease Agreement (this "**<u>Lease</u>**") is entered into as of the Lease Date between Landlord and Tenant (as each such term is defined in the Basic Lease Information).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. **<u>Definitions and Basic Provisions</u>**. The definitions and basic provisions set forth in the Basic Lease Information (the "**<u>Basic Lease Information</u>**") are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. Additionally, the following terms shall have the following meanings when used in this Lease: "**<u>Affiliate</u>**" means any person or entity which, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the party in question; "**<u>Building's Structure</u>**" means the Building's roof and roof membrane, elevator shafts, footings, foundations, structural portions of load-bearing walls, structural floors and subfloors, structural columns and beams, and curtain walls; "**<u>Building's Systems</u>**" means the Building's HVAC, life-safety, plumbing, electrical, mechanical and elevator systems; "**<u>including</u>**" means including, without limitation; "**<u>Laws</u>**" means all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, building codes and standards, rules and regulations, all court orders, governmental directives, and governmental orders and all interpretations of the foregoing, and all restrictive covenants affecting the Project, and "**<u>Law</u>**" means any of the foregoing; "**<u>Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment</u>**" means any of Tenant's equipment or other property that may be located on or about the Project (other than inside the Premises); and "**<u>Tenant Party</u>**" means any of the following persons: Tenant; any assignees claiming by, through or under Tenant; any subtenants claiming by, through or under Tenant; and any of their respective agents, contractors, officers, employees, licensees, guests and invitees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **<u>Lease Grant</u>**. Subject to the terms of this Lease, Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, the Premises. If the Premises include one or more floors in their entirety, all corridors and restroom facilities located on such full floor(s) shall be considered part of the Premises. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the rentable square footage of the Premises is correct; provided, however, that Landlord may from time to time remeasure the Premises and/or the Building in accordance with generally accepted remeasurement standards selected by Landlord and adjust Tenant's Proportionate Share based on such remeasurement; provided further, however, that any such remeasurement based on a change in measurement standard only shall not affect the amount of Basic Rent payable for the Premises (as defined herein), Tenant's Share or any allowance applicable to the then-current Term and based on the Premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **<u>Tender of Possession</u>**. Landlord and Tenant presently anticipate that possession of the Premises will be tendered to Tenant on or about the Estimated Delivery Date (as set forth in the Basic Lease Information). If Landlord is unable to tender possession of the Premises in such condition to Tenant by the Estimated Delivery Date, then (a) the validity of this Lease shall not be affected or impaired thereby, (b) Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or be liable for damages therefor, and (c) Tenant shall accept possession of the Premises when Landlord tenders possession thereof to Tenant. By occupying the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises in their as-is condition and configuration as of the date of such occupancy, subject to the performance of punch-list items that remain to be performed by Landlord, if any. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that the roof and the base Building electrical, HVAC (defined in Section 7.1 below) and plumbing systems located in the Premises shall be in good working order as of the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant. Except to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or any Tenant Party or by any alterations or improvements performed by or on behalf of Tenant, if such systems are not in good working order as of the date possession of the Premises is delivered to Tenant and Tenant provides Landlord with notice of the same within thirty (30) days following the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant, Landlord shall be responsible for repairing or restoring the same. Prior to occupying the Premises, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a letter substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit D</u> hereto confirming (1) the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date of the initial Term, (2) that Tenant has accepted the Premises, and (3) that Landlord has performed all of its obligations with respect to the Premises (except for punch-list items specified in such letter and as stated in this Lease); however, the failure of the parties to execute such letter shall not defer the Commencement Date or otherwise invalidate this Lease. Should Tenant fail to do so within thirty (30) days after Landlord's request, the information set forth in such letter provided by Landlord shall be conclusively presumed to be agreed and correct. Entry into the Premises by any Tenant Party prior to the Commencement Date shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease excepting only those requiring the payment of Basic Rent and Additional Rent unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that physical changes may occur from time to time in the Building or Project, and that the number of buildings and additional facilities which constitute the Project may change from time to time, which may result in an adjustment in Tenant's Proportionate Share, as defined in the Basic Lease Information.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **<u>Rent</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 **<u>Payment</u>**. Tenant shall timely pay to Landlord Rent, without notice, demand, deduction or set off (except as otherwise expressly provided herein), by good and sufficient check drawn on a national banking association, or, at either party's election, by electronic or wire transfer, at Landlord's address provided for in this Lease or such other address as may be specified in writing by Landlord, and shall be accompanied by all applicable state and local sales or use taxes; provided, that following any default by Tenant, Landlord shall be permitted to require alternative methods of payment, in Landlord's sole discretion. The obligations of Tenant to pay Rent to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations. Basic Rent, adjusted as herein provided, shall be payable monthly in advance. The first monthly installment of Basic Rent is due upon execution of this Lease by Tenant; thereafter, Basic Rent shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month. The monthly Basic Rent for any partial month at the beginning of the Term shall equal the product of 1/365 of the annual Basic Rent in effect during the partial month and the number of days in the partial month, and such Basic Rent payment is due upon execution of this Lease by Tenant; however, if the Commencement Date is not a fixed date that is ascertainable as of the Lease Date, then such Basic Rent payment for any fractional calendar month at the beginning of the Term shall be due by Tenant on the Commencement Date. Payments of Basic Rent for any fractional calendar month at the end of the Term shall be similarly prorated. Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly installments of Additional Rent in advance on the first day of each calendar month and otherwise on the same terms and conditions described above with respect to Basic Rent. All sums due and payable by Tenant under this Lease shall be deemed to be rent hereunder and unless a shorter time period is specified in this Lease, all payments of miscellaneous Rent charges hereunder (that is, all Rent other than Basic Rent and Additional Rent) shall be due and payable within 30 days following Landlord's delivery to Tenant of an invoice therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2 **<u>Additional Rent</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.1 **<u>Operating Costs</u>**. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Costs. Landlord may make a good faith estimate of Operating Costs to be due by Tenant for any calendar year or part thereof during the Term. During each calendar year or partial calendar year of the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance concurrently with each monthly installment of Basic Rent, an amount equal to Tenant's estimated Operating Costs for such calendar year or part thereof divided by the number of months therein. From time to time, Landlord may estimate and re-estimate the Operating Costs to be due by Tenant and deliver a copy of the estimate or re-estimate to Tenant. Thereafter, the monthly installments of Operating Costs payable by Tenant shall be appropriately adjusted in accordance with the estimations so that, by the end of the calendar year in question, Tenant shall have paid all of the Operating Costs as estimated by Landlord. Any amounts paid based on such an estimate shall be subject to adjustment as herein provided when actual Operating Costs are available for each calendar year. Except with respect to the amortized amounts of any capital expenditures and tax payments in installments, and/or adjustments to account for any tax appeals as set forth in this Lease, in no event shall Landlord be entitled to a reimbursement from tenants for Operating Costs in excess of one hundred percent (100%) of the costs actually paid or incurred by Landlord in any applicable calendar year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.2 **<u>Operating Costs Defined</u>**. The term "**<u>Operating Costs</u>**" means all costs, expenses and disbursements of every kind and nature (subject to the limitations set forth below) that Landlord incurs in connection with the ownership, management, repair, replacement, preservation, operation, and maintenance of the Building and the Project and its supporting facilities and performing Landlord's obligations under this Lease, in each case, determined in accordance with sound accounting principles consistently applied, including the following costs: (a) wages and salaries of all employees at or below the grade of senior building manager engaged in the operation, maintenance or security of the Building and the Project (together with Landlord's reasonable allocation of expenses of off-site employees at or below the grade of senior building manager who perform a portion of their services in connection with the operation, maintenance or security of the Building and the Project including accounting personnel), including taxes, insurance and benefits relating thereto; (b) all supplies, materials and computer software licenses used in the operation, maintenance, repair, replacement, and security of the Building and the Project; (c) costs for improvements made to the Building and the Project and, to the extent capital in nature, shall be amortized using a commercially reasonable interest rate over the useful life as reasonably estimated by Landlord to recover the costs thereof; (d) cost of all services and utilities, other than the cost of any metered or submetered utilities paid separately by other tenants; (e) insurance expenses, including the cost of any deductibles; (f) repairs, replacements, and general maintenance of the Building and the Project, including, but not limited to, the roof and roof membrane, windows, elevators, restrooms, lobbies, mezzanines, balconies, mechanical rooms, building exteriors, alarm systems, pest extermination, landscaped areas, parking and service areas, driveways, sidewalks, loading areas, fire sprinkler systems, sanitary and storm sewer lines, utility services, heating/ventilation/air conditioning systems, electrical, mechanical or other systems, telephone equipment and wiring servicing, plumbing, lighting, and any other items or areas which affect the operation or appearance of the Building or Project or that are reasonably necessary for the health and safety of the occupants of the Building or Project, which determination shall be at Landlord's discretion; (g) fair market rental and other costs with respect to the management office for the Building and the Project; (h) costs and expenses for the operation of the Project which are equitably allocated to the Building and the Project; (i) payment under or for any easement, license, permit, operating agreement, declaration, restrictive covenant or instrument relating to the Building or Project; and (j) legal expenses and the cost of audits by certified public accountants; provided, however, that legal expenses chargeable as Operating Costs shall not include the cost of negotiating leases, collecting rents, evicting tenants nor shall it include costs incurred in legal proceedings with or against any tenant or to enforce the provisions of any lease; and (k) service, maintenance and management contracts and fees (payable to Landlord, Landlord's affiliate or a third-party management company; provided that any costs paid to Landlord or Landlord's affiliate for management services shall exclude amounts paid in excess of the competitive rates for management services of comparable quality rendered by persons or entities of similar skill, competence and experience) for the operation, maintenance, management, repair, replacement, or security of the Building and the Project (including alarm service, window cleaning, janitorial, security, landscape maintenance and elevator maintenance); and (l) any reasonable costs incurred to make any alterations or improvements to the Building or Project necessary for any voluntary certification as "green" or sustainable, or other similar certifications, and any costs to obtain and maintain such certification. Any property management or other similar fees shall be calculated without regard to free rent or other such concessions. Landlord shall have the right to allocate costs among different uses of space in the Building and the Project if Landlord reasonably determines the costs for operating, maintaining and repairing such different spaces differ from other spaces within the Building and the Project.

Operating Costs shall not include costs for (1) capital improvements made to the Building and the Project, other than capital improvements described in Section **Error!

------

If Landlord incurs Operating Costs for the Project together with another property, Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, shall equitably allocate such shared amounts between the Project and such other property.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.3 **<u>Taxes; Taxes Defined</u>**. Tenant shall also pay Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes. Tenant shall pay Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes in the same manner as provided above for Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Costs. "**<u>Taxes</u>**" means taxes, assessments, and governmental charges or fees whether federal, state, county or municipal, and whether they be by taxing districts or authorities presently taxing or by others, subsequently created or otherwise, and any other taxes and assessments (including non-governmental assessments and charges [including assessments and charges from any applicable property owner's association] under any restrictive covenant, declaration of covenants, restrictions and easements or other private agreement that are not treated as part of Operating Costs) now or hereafter attributable to the Building and the Project (or its operation), excluding, however, penalties and interest thereon and federal and state taxes on income, excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, documentary transfer taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord's general or net income (as opposed to a tax on rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Project), and fines, penalties or interest resulting from late payment of taxes. However, if the present method of taxation changes so that in lieu of or in addition to the whole or any part of any Taxes, there is levied on Landlord a capital tax directly on the rents or revenues received therefrom or a franchise tax, margin tax, assessment, or charge based, in whole or in part, upon such rents or revenues for the Building and the Project, then all such taxes, assessments, or charges, or the part thereof so based, shall be deemed to be included within the term "Taxes" for purposes hereof. The costs of consultants retained in an effort to lower taxes and all costs incurred in disputing any taxes or in seeking to lower the tax valuation of the Building and the Project shall be included in Operating Costs. For property tax purposes, Tenant waives all rights to protest or appeal the appraised value of the Premises, as well as the Building and the Project, and all rights to receive notices of reappraisement. From time to time during any calendar year, Landlord may estimate or re-estimate the Taxes to be due by Tenant for that calendar year and deliver a copy of the estimate or re-estimate to Tenant. Thereafter, the monthly installments of Taxes payable by Tenant shall be appropriately adjusted in accordance with the estimations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.4 **<u>Reconciliation Statement</u>**. By April 30 of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of actual Operating Costs for the previous year, in each case adjusted as provided in Section 4.2.5, and of the Taxes for the previous year (the "**<u>Reconciliation Statement</u>**"). If Tenant's estimated payments of Operating Costs or Taxes under this Section 4.2 for the year covered by the Reconciliation Statement exceed Tenant's Proportionate Share of such items as indicated in the Reconciliation Statement, then Landlord shall credit or reimburse Tenant for such excess within 30 days; likewise, if Tenant's estimated payments of Operating Costs or Taxes under this Section 4.2 for such year are less than Tenant's Proportionate Share of such items as indicated in the Reconciliation Statement, then Tenant shall pay Landlord such deficiency within 30 days of invoice from Landlord. Basic Rent shall be paid to Landlord absolutely net of all Operating Costs and Taxes, except as specifically provided to the contrary in this Lease, and the provisions for payment of Operating Costs and Taxes are intended to pass on to Tenant and reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses of the nature described in this Section 4.2.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.5 **<u>Gross Up</u>**. With respect to any calendar year or partial calendar year in which the Building or the Project is not occupied to the extent of at least 95% of the rentable area thereof, or Landlord is not supplying comparable services to at least 95% of the rentable area thereof, the Operating Costs for such period which vary with the occupancy of the Building or the Project, as applicable, or level of service shall, for the purposes hereof, be increased to the amount which would have been incurred had the Building or the Project, as applicable, been occupied to the extent of at least 95% of the rentable area thereof and Landlord had been supplying comparable services to at least 95% of the rentable area thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.6 **<u>Audit</u>**. Tenant may, within thirty (30) days after receiving Landlord's Reconciliation Statement, give Landlord written notice ("**<u>Review Notice</u>**") that Tenant intends to review Landlord's records of the Operating Costs or Taxes for that calendar year. Within a reasonable time after receipt of the Review Notice, Landlord shall make all pertinent records available for inspection that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its review. If any records are maintained at a location other than the office of the Building, Tenant may either inspect the records at such other location or pay for the reasonable cost of copying and shipping the records. If Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord's records, the agent must be with a licensed, independent CPA firm to perform such review it shall be one of national standing which is reasonably acceptable to Landlord, is not compensated on a contingency basis and is also subject to such confidentiality agreement. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees incurred for the audit. Within sixty (60) days after the records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice (an "**<u>Objection Notice</u>**") stating in reasonable detail any objection to Landlord's Reconciliation Statement for that year. If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice within the sixty (60) day period described above or fails to provide Landlord with an Objection Notice within the thirty (30) day period described above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Landlord's Reconciliation Statement and shall be barred from raising any claims regarding the Operating Costs or Taxes for that year. If Tenant provides Landlord with a timely Objection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve any issues raised in Tenant's Objection Notice. If Landlord and Tenant determine that Operating Costs or Taxes for the calendar year are less than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against the next installment of Rent in the amount of the overpayment by Tenant. Likewise, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Operating Costs or Taxes for the calendar year are greater than reported, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment within thirty (30) days. The records obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord's records or to dispute any statement of Operating Costs or Taxes unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent when due.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **<u>Delinquent Payment; Handling Charges</u>**. All past due payments required of Tenant hereunder shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the lesser of eighteen percent per annum or the maximum lawful rate of interest (such lesser amount is referred to herein as the "**<u>Default Rate</u>**"); additionally, Landlord, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it, may charge Tenant for each month or portion thereof that the delinquency remains outstanding a late fee equal to the greater of (a) five percent of the delinquent payment, and (b) $250, to reimburse Landlord for its cost and inconvenience incurred as a consequence of Tenant's delinquency. In no event, however, shall the charges permitted under this Section 5 or elsewhere in this Lease, to the extent they are considered to be interest under applicable Law, exceed the maximum lawful commercial rate of interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the late fee referenced above shall not be charged with respect to the first occurrence (but not any subsequent occurrence) during any 12-calendar month period that Tenant fails to make any payment of Additional Rent when due, until five days after Landlord delivers written notice of such delinquency to Tenant. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, allocate any rent or monies Tenant pays to Landlord to any sums then due and payable hereunder.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **<u>Security Deposit</u>**. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Security Deposit, which shall be held by Landlord to secure Tenant's performance of its obligations under this Lease. The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of Rent or a measure or limit of Landlord's damages upon a default or breach of this Lease by Tenant. Landlord may, from time to time following a default or breach of this Lease by Tenant and without prejudice to any other remedy, use all or a part of the Security Deposit to perform any obligation Tenant fails to perform hereunder. Following any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Provided that Tenant has performed all of its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall, within 60 days after the expiration of the Term, the cure of any then-outstanding breach or default of this Lease, and Tenant's surrender of the Premises in compliance with the provisions of this Lease, return to Tenant the portion of the Security Deposit which was not applied to satisfy Tenant's obligations. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Landlord may retain the Security Deposit until such time after the expiration of the Term that Landlord is able to reconcile and confirm all amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease have been paid in full by Tenant (e.g., Landlord cannot reconcile and confirm Tenant has paid Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes for the calendar year in which the Term expires if Landlord has not received a Tax bill from all applicable taxing authorities at the time of such expiration). The Security Deposit may be commingled with other funds, and no interest shall be paid thereon. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises then the transferee shall assume Landlord's obligations under this Lease, then Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to the transferee and Landlord thereafter shall have no further liability for the return of the Security Deposit. The rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Section 6 are subject to any other requirements and conditions imposed by Laws applicable to the Security Deposit. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any Laws, now or hereinafter in force, which restricts the amount or types of claim that a landlord may make upon a security deposit or imposes upon a landlord (or its successors) any obligation with respect to the handling or return of security deposits. Landlord is hereby granted a security interest in the Security Deposit in accordance with applicable provisions of the California Commercial Code. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and all other provisions of any Laws, now or hereinafter in force, which restricts the amount or types of claim that a landlord may make upon a security deposit or imposes upon a landlord (or its successors) any obligation with respect to the handling or return of security deposits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **<u>Services and Landlord's Obligations</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1 **<u>Services</u>**. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has inspected and accepts the water, electricity, heat and air conditioning ("**<u>HVAC</u>**") and other utilities and services being supplied or furnished to the Premises as of the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises, as being sufficient and suitable for use of the Premises for the Permitted Use in their present condition, "as is," and for Tenant's intended operations in the Premises except as stated in this Lease. Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone, sewer, sprinkler system charges and other utilities and services used on or from the Premises, together with any taxes, penalties, and surcharges or the like pertaining thereto and any maintenance charges for utilities. Tenant shall furnish all electric light bulbs, tubes and ballasts, battery packs for emergency lighting and fire extinguishers. If any such services are not separately metered to Tenant, Tenant shall pay such proportion of all charges jointly metered with other premises as determined by Landlord, in its sole discretion, to be reasonable. Any such actual charges paid by Landlord and assessed against Tenant shall be immediately payable to Landlord on demand and shall be Additional Rent hereunder. In addition, if applicable, Landlord may install and shall have access to the Premises to monitor a separate meter (or submeter) to determine the actual use of any utility in the Premises or any shared common area and may make available and share actual whole-project energy and water usage data as necessary to maintain the Building's "green building" certification, if any. Tenant will not, without the written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, contract with a utility provider to service the Premises with any utility, including, but not limited to, telecommunications, electricity, water, sewer or gas, which is not previously providing such service to other tenants in the Building. Landlord shall in no event be liable for any interruption or failure of utility services on or to the Premises. To allow for compliance with building performance benchmarking and disclosure regulations, and to facilitate implementation of sustainable improvements to the Building, Tenant shall: (a) retain copies of its "utility data", which includes, but is not limited to, Tenant's utility bills and invoices pertaining to Tenant's energy, water, and trash usage at the Building during the Term of this Lease, and (b) upon request, provide Landlord with copies of such "utility data". Tenant hereby consents to Landlord obtaining utility data directly from the utility provider and, upon twenty (20) business days after written request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord and the service providers such commercially reasonable written releases as the service providers may request evidencing Tenant's consent to deliver the data to Landlord. Landlord shall be entitled to cooperate voluntarily and in a reasonable manner with the efforts of national, state or local governmental agencies or utility suppliers in reducing energy or other resource consumption. The obligation to make services available hereunder shall be subject to the limitations of any such voluntary, reasonable program. In addition, Landlord reserves the right to change the supplier or provider of any such utility or service from time to time and to purchase green or renewable energy. Tenant shall have no right to contract with or otherwise obtain any electrical or other such service for or with respect to the Premises or Tenant's operations therein from any supplier or provider of any such service. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and any supplier or provider of such services designated by Landlord from time to time to facilitate the delivery of such services to Tenant at the Premises and to the Building and Project, including without limitation allowing Landlord and Landlord's suppliers or providers, and their respective agents and contractors, reasonable access to the Premises for the purpose of installing, maintaining, repairing, replacing or upgrading such service or any equipment or machinery associated therewith. Landlord may, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, elect to apply to obtain or maintain a LEED certification for the Building, or other applicable certification in connection with Landlord's sustainability practices for the Building (as such sustainability practices are to be determined by Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time). The reasonable costs to obtain or maintain a LEED certification for the Building shall be included in Operating Costs. Landlord shall have the right to install on-site power generation (i.e., solar or small wind) and/or storage (batteries) at the Building or Project. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord in connection with the installation and on-going operation of such on-site power and/or storage. Tenant shall have no right to any renewable energy credits or similar resulting from on-site energy generation or storage, even if Tenant uses such energy. Landlord may retain or assign such renewable energy credits in Landlord's sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2 **<u>Repair and Maintenance by Landlord</u>**. Landlord shall maintain and repair the common areas of the Project, Building's Structure, the core portions of the Building's Systems, the parking areas and other exterior areas of the Project, including driveways, alleys, landscape and grounds of the Project, utility lines and any items normally associated with the foregoing. The term "exterior areas of the Project" as used herein shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors, special store fronts or office entries. Tenant shall immediately give Landlord written notice of any defect or need of repairs in such components of the Building for which Landlord is responsible, after which Landlord shall have a reasonable opportunity and the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times to repair same. All costs in performing the work described in this Section shall be included in Operating Costs except to the extent expressly excluded by Section 4.2 or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 7.2. Any damage caused by or repairs to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's Parties may be repaired by Landlord at Landlord's option and Tenant's actual expense. In no event shall Landlord be responsible for alterations to the Building or Project required by applicable Law arising from or otherwise related to (i) Tenant's use of the Premises, or (ii) alterations or improvements to the Premises made by or for a Tenant Party (and any such alterations required for the foregoing reasons shall be made by Landlord at Tenant's sole cost and expense and payable as Additional Rent hereunder and on the same terms and conditions as Landlord performed repairs as described in Section 8.2 below). Tenant shall immediately give Landlord written notice of any defect or need of repairs in such components of the Building or Project for which Landlord is responsible, after which Landlord shall have a reasonable opportunity and the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times to repair the same. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall, in its commercially-reasonable discretion, determine whether, and to the extent, repairs or replacements are the appropriate remedial action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **<u>Improvements; Alterations; Repairs; Maintenance</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1 **<u>Improvements; Alterations</u>**. Improvements to the Premises shall be installed at Tenant's expense only in accordance with plans and specifications which have been previously submitted to and approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall be governed by the provisions set forth in this Section 8.1. No alterations or physical additions in or to the Premises (including the installation of systems furniture or other equipment or personal property that affects or otherwise connects to the Building's Systems) may be made without Landlord's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; however, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole discretion to any alteration or addition that would (a) adversely affect (in the reasonable discretion of Landlord) the Building's Structure or the Building's Systems (including the Project's restrooms or mechanical rooms), or (b) affect (in the sole discretion of Landlord) the (1) exterior appearance of the Project, (2) appearance of the Project's common areas or elevator lobby areas, (3) quiet enjoyment of other tenants or occupants of the Project, or (4) provision of services to other occupants of the Project. To the extent that Landlord grants Tenant the right to use areas within the Project, whether pursuant to the terms of this Lease or through plans and specifications subsequently approved by Landlord (and without implying that Landlord shall grant any such approvals), (A) in no event may Tenant use more than Tenant's Proportionate Share of the areas within the Building or utility capacity made available by Landlord for general tenant usage for Tenant's installations and operations in the Premises (including chilled water, electricity, telecommunications room space, electrical room space, plenum space and riser space), and (B) Tenant shall comply with the provisions of this Section with respect to all such items, including Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment. Tenant shall not paint or install lighting or decorations, signs, window or door lettering, or advertising media of any type visible from the exterior of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. All alterations, additions, and improvements shall be constructed, maintained, and used by Tenant, at its risk and expense, in accordance with all Laws, using new Building standard materials and constructed in a first-class manner; Landlord's consent to or approval of any alterations, additions or improvements (or the plans therefor) shall not constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord, nor Landlord's acceptance, that the same comply with sound architectural and/or engineering practices or with all applicable Laws, and Tenant shall be solely responsible for ensuring all such compliance at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant shall at Tenant's sole expense, perform any additional work required under applicable Laws due to construction of any such alterations or improvements. At least ten (10) business days before beginning construction of any alterations or improvements, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of the expected commencement date of that construction to permit Landlord to post and record a notice of non-responsibility. Upon substantial completion of construction, if the Law so provides, Tenant shall cause a timely notice of completion to be recorded in the office of the recorder of the county in which the Building is located.

------

All such alterations or improvements shall remain the property of Tenant until the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, at which time they shall be and become the property of Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord may, at Landlord's option, require that Tenant, at Tenant's expense, remove any or all alterations or improvements made by or on behalf of Tenant, including, without limitation, any cold storage improvements, and restore the Premises by the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, to their condition existing prior to the construction of any such alterations or improvements or Landlord advised Tenant that such item may be removed at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. In any event, Tenant, not Landlord, shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove all cabling and wiring installed by or on behalf of Tenant at or servicing the Premises. All such removals and restoration shall be accomplished in a first-class and good and workmanlike manner so as not to cause any damage to the Premises or Project whatsoever. If Tenant fails to remove such alterations or improvements or Tenant's trade fixtures or furniture or other personal property, Landlord may keep and use them or remove any of them and cause them to be stored or sold in accordance with applicable Law, at Tenant's sole expense. In addition to and wholly apart from Tenant's obligation to pay Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Costs and Taxes, Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay prior to delinquency any taxes or governmental service fees, possessory interest taxes, fees or charges in lieu of any such taxes, capital levies, or other charges imposed upon, levied with respect to or assessed against its fixtures or personal property, on the value of alterations and improvements within the Premises, and on Tenant's interest pursuant to this Lease, or any increase in any of the foregoing based on such alterations and improvements. To the extent that any such taxes are not separately assessed or billed to Tenant, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof as invoiced to Tenant by Landlord.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2 **<u>Repair and Maintenance by Tenant</u>**. Tenant shall maintain the Premises in a clean, safe, and operable condition, and shall not permit or allow to remain any waste or damage to any portion of the Premises. Additionally, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall promptly repair, replace and maintain in good condition and repair and in accordance with all Laws and the equipment manufacturer's suggested service programs, all portions of the Premises (excluding the core portion of the Building's Systems, which shall be maintained by Landlord pursuant to Section 7.2) and Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment and all areas, improvements and systems exclusively serving the Premises, including the branch lines of the plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems, including all duct work and any dock or loading area serving the Premises, promptly making all necessary repairs and replacements, whether ordinary or extraordinary, with materials and workmanship of the same character, kind and quality as the original (including, but not limited to, repair and replacement of all fixtures installed by Tenant, water heaters serving the Premises, windows, glass and plate glass, doors, exterior stairs, skylights, any special office entries, interior walls and finish work, floors and floor coverings, HVAC systems serving the Premises, electrical systems and fixtures, sprinkler systems, dock boards, truck doors, dock bumpers, plumbing work and fixtures, and performance of regular removal of trash and debris). Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, immediately upon notice from Landlord, sanitize the Premises if Landlord reasonably determines the same is necessary utilizing such methods as reasonably determined by Landlord. Tenant's repair and maintenance work shall be undertaken in compliance with Landlord's Building construction standards (if any) from time to time to the extent applicable (which standards shall be made available to Tenant by Landlord's Building manager upon request). Notwithstanding any other provision in this Lease to the contrary, with respect to any portion of the Premises visible from any common area inside or outside of the Building (the "**<u>Visible Premises</u>**"), Tenant shall (a) maintain such Visible Premises and furniture, fixtures and equipment located therein in a neat and first-class condition throughout the Term and any extension thereof, (b) not use the Visible Premises for storage, (c) obtain Landlord's prior reasonable written consent as to the interior paint color, signage, carpeting, furniture and equipment contained in the Visible Premises, (d) complete within the Visible Premises any requested cleaning within one business day after Landlord's written request therefor, and (e) complete within the Visible Premises any requested repairs, alterations or changes within five business days after Landlord's written request therefor. Tenant shall repair or replace, subject to Landlord's direction and supervision, any damage to the Project to the extent caused by a Tenant Party. If any such damage occurs outside of the Premises, or if such damage occurs inside the Premises but affects the Building's Systems and/or Building's Structure or any other area outside the Premises, then Landlord may elect to repair such damage at Tenant's expense, rather than having Tenant repair such damage. If (1) Tenant fails to commence to make such repairs or replacements within 15 days after the occurrence of such damage and thereafter diligently pursue the completion thereof (or, in the case of an emergency, such shorter period of time as is reasonable given the circumstances), or (2) notwithstanding such diligence, Tenant fails to complete such repairs or replacements within 30 days after the occurrence of such damage (or, in the case of an emergency, such shorter period of time as is reasonable given the circumstances), then Landlord may make the same at Tenant's cost. The cost of all maintenance, repair or replacement work performed by Landlord under this Section 8, in each case plus an administrative fee of 15% of such cost, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent hereunder within 30 days after Landlord has invoiced Tenant therefor. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, enter into a regularly scheduled preventive maintenance/service contract with a maintenance contractor reasonably approved by Landlord for servicing all HVAC systems and equipment serving the Premises (and a copy thereof shall be furnished to Landlord). The service contract must include all services suggested by the equipment manufacturer in the operation/maintenance manual and must become effective within thirty (30) days of the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises. Should Tenant fail to do so or if Landlord elects to perform such maintenance for any reason, Landlord may, upon notice to Tenant, enter into such a maintenance/ service contract on behalf of Tenant or perform the work and in either case, charge Tenant the cost thereof along with a reasonable amount for Landlord's overhead.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.3 **<u>Performance of Work</u>**. All work described in this Section 8 shall be performed only by Landlord or by contractors and subcontractors approved in writing by Landlord and only in accordance with plans and specifications approved in advance by Landlord in writing. Landlord shall have the right of written reasonable consent for construction means and methods, all appropriate permits and licenses, and the time for performance of such work. Tenant shall also supply to Landlord any documents and information reasonably requested by Landlord in connection with Landlord's consideration of a request for approval hereunder. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs which Landlord may incur in connection with granting approval to Tenant for any such alterations or improvements, including any costs or expenses which Landlord may incur in electing to have outside architects and engineers review said plans and specifications and Tenant shall pay to Landlord a construction management fee equal to 5% of the cost of such work. Tenant shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to procure and maintain insurance coverage reasonably required by Landlord and naming Landlord, Landlord's Mortgagee, Landlord's property management company and Landlord's asset management company and any other party reasonably designated by Landlord as additional insureds against such risks, in such amounts, and with such companies as Landlord may reasonably require. Tenant shall provide Landlord with the identities, mailing addresses and telephone numbers of all persons performing work or supplying materials prior to beginning such construction and Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable Laws. All such work shall be performed in accordance with all Laws and in a good and workmanlike manner so as not to damage the Building (including the Premises, the Building's Structure and the Building's Systems) and shall use materials of a quality that is at least equal to the quality designated by Landlord as the minimum standard for the Building, and in such manner as to cause a minimum of disruption to the other occupants of the Project and interference with other construction in progress and with the transaction of business in the Project. Landlord may designate reasonable rules, regulations and procedures for the performance of all such work in the Building (including insurance requirements for contractors) and, to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid disruption to the occupants of the Building, shall have the right to designate the time when such work may be performed. All such work which may affect the Building's Structure or the Building's Systems must be approved by the Project's engineer of record, at Tenant's expense and, at Landlord's election, must be performed by Landlord's usual contractor for such work. Tenant shall cause all Tenant's contractors to adhere to the Building's waste and recycling programs. All work affecting the roof of the Building must be performed by Landlord's roofing contractor and no such work will be permitted if it would void or reduce or otherwise adversely affect the warranty on the roof. Upon completion of any work described in this Section 8, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with accurate reproducible "as-built" CADD files of the improvements as constructed.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.4 **<u>Mechanic's Liens</u>**. All work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or at the request of a Tenant Party shall be deemed authorized and ordered by Tenant only, and Tenant shall not permit any mechanic's or construction liens to be filed against the Premises or the Project in connection therewith. Upon completion of any such work, Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord final unconditional lien waivers from all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen who performed such work. If such a lien is filed, then Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after Landlord has delivered notice of the filing thereof to Tenant (or such earlier time period as may be necessary to prevent the forfeiture of the Premises, the Project or any interest of Landlord therein or the imposition of a civil or criminal fine with respect thereto), either (a) pay the amount of the lien and cause the lien to be released of record, or (b) diligently contest such lien and deliver to Landlord a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. If Tenant fails to timely take either such action, then Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay the lien claim, and any amounts so paid, including expenses and interest, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent hereunder within ten days after Landlord has invoiced Tenant therefor. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that their relationship is and shall be solely that of "landlord-tenant" (thereby excluding a relationship of "owner-contractor," "owner-agent" or other similar relationships) and that Tenant is not authorized to act as Landlord's common law agent or construction agent in connection with any work performed in the Premises. Accordingly, all materialmen, contractors, artisans, mechanics, laborers and any other persons now or hereafter contracting with Tenant, any contractor or subcontractor of Tenant or any other Tenant Party for the furnishing of any labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment with respect to any portion of the Premises, at any time from the date hereof until the end of the Term, are hereby charged with notice that they look exclusively to Tenant to obtain payment for same. Nothing herein shall be deemed a consent by Landlord to any liens being placed upon the Premises, the Project or Landlord's interest therein due to any work performed by or for Tenant or deemed to give any contractor or subcontractor or materialman any right or interest in any funds held by Landlord to reimburse Tenant for any portion of the cost of such work. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and its agents and representatives from and against all claims, demands, causes of action, suits, judgments, damages and expenses (including attorneys' fees) in any way arising from or relating to the failure by any Tenant Party to pay for any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or at the request of a Tenant Party. This indemnity provision shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.5 **<u>Waiver</u>**. Except as provided in Article 15, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment in the Building; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit Tenant from making a claim against Landlord but in any such event Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any consequential, special or indirect damages. Instead, any such claim of Tenant shall be limited to the foreseeable, direct and actual damages incurred by Tenant. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code, or any similar or successor Regulations or other laws now or hereinafter in effect.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **<u>Use of the Premises</u>**. Tenant shall continuously occupy and use the Premises only for the Permitted Use and shall comply with all Laws relating to the use, condition, access to, and occupancy of the Premises and will not commit waste, overload the Building's Structure or the Building's Systems or subject the Premises to use that would damage the Premises. The occupancy density within the Premises as a whole shall at no time exceed one person for each 300 rentable square feet in the Premises; however, such population density may from time to time exceed such number on a temporary basis for meetings, conferences and other events of a temporary nature. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, as between Landlord and Tenant, (a) Tenant shall bear the risk of complying with Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, any state laws governing handicapped access or architectural barriers, and all rules, regulations, and guidelines promulgated under such laws, as amended from time to time (the "**<u>Disabilities Acts</u>**") in the Premises, and (b) Landlord shall bear the risk of complying with the Disabilities Acts in the common areas of the Building (and the cost thereof shall be included in Operating Costs), other than compliance that is necessitated by the use of the Premises for other than the Permitted Use or as a result of any alterations or additions, including any initial tenant improvement work, made by or on behalf of a Tenant Party (which risk and responsibility shall be borne by Tenant). The Premises shall not be used for any use which is disreputable, creates extraordinary fire hazards, or results in an increased rate of insurance on the Project or its contents, or, subject to the terms of Section 25.24, for the storage of any Hazardous Materials (other than *de minimis* quantities found in typical office supplies [e.g., photocopier toner] and Hazardous Materials contained in products stored and/or distributed during Tenant's normal course of business in their original, sealed and unopened containers, and then only in compliance with all Laws and in a reasonable and prudent manner). Tenant shall not permit any odors, smoke, dust, gas, substances, noise or vibrations to emanate from the Premises or from any portion of the common areas as a result of Tenant's or any Tenant's Party's use thereof. Except as provided below, the following uses are expressly prohibited in the Premises: schools, governmental offices or agencies; personnel agencies; collection agencies; credit unions; data processing, telemarketing, reservation centers or other "call centers"; medical treatment and health care; radio, television or other communications broadcasting; restaurants and other retail; and customer service offices of a public utility company. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following ancillary uses are permitted in the Premises only so long as they do not, in the aggregate, occupy more than 10% of the rentable square feet in the Premises or any single floor (whichever is less): (1) the following services provided by Tenant exclusively to its employees: schools, training and other educational services; credit unions; and similar employee services; and (2) the following services directly and exclusively supporting Tenant's business: telemarketing; reservations; storage; data processing; debt collection; and similar support services. If, because of a Tenant Party's acts or omissions or because Tenant vacates the Premises, the rate of insurance on the Building or its contents increases, then such acts or omissions shall be an Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such increase on demand, and acceptance of such payment shall not waive any of Landlord's other rights. Tenant shall conduct its business and control each other Tenant Party so as not to create any nuisance or unreasonably interfere with other tenants or Landlord in its management of the Project. Tenant shall not allow or give notice of any sale by auction upon the Premises, or place any loads upon the floors, walls or ceilings which could endanger the structure, or place any harmful substances in the drainage system of the Building or Project. No waste, materials or refuse shall be dumped upon or permitted to remain outside the Premises. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the non-compliance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building or Project with any of the above-referenced restrictions or any other terms or provisions of such tenant's or occupant's lease or other contract. The Premises shall not be used as a place of public accommodation under the Americans With Disabilities Act or similar statute or ordinance or any regulation promulgated thereunder, all as may be amended from time to time. Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938, Landlord hereby notifies Tenant that as of the date of this Lease, the Premises has not undergone inspection by a "Certified Access Specialist" ("**<u>CASp</u>**") to determine whether the Premises meet all applicable construction-related accessibility standards under California Civil Code Section 55.53. Landlord hereby discloses pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938 as follows: "A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises." Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that in the event Tenant elects to perform a CASp inspection of the Premises hereunder (the "**<u>Inspection</u>**"), such Inspection shall be (a) performed at Tenant's sole cost and expense, (b) limited to the Premises and (c) performed by a CASp who has been approved or designated by Landlord prior to the Inspection. Any Inspection must be performed in a manner which minimizes the disruption of business activities in the Building, and at a time reasonably approved by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right to be present during the Inspection. Tenant agrees to: (i) promptly provide to Landlord a copy of the report or certification prepared by the CASp inspector upon request (the "**<u>Report</u>**"), and (ii) keep the information contained in the Report confidential, except to the extent required by Laws, or to the extent disclosure is needed in order to complete any necessary modifications or improvements required to comply with all applicable accessibility standards under state or federal Laws, as well as any other repairs, upgrades, improvements, modifications or alterations required by the Report or that may be otherwise required to comply with applicable Laws or accessibility requirements (the "**<u>Access Improvements</u>**"). If Tenant performs an Inspection, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of the Access Improvements to the Premises or the Building necessary to correct any such violations of construction-related accessibility standards identified by such Inspection as required by Laws, which Access Improvements may, at Landlord's option, be performed in whole or in part by Landlord at Tenant's expense, payable as Additional Rent within ten (10) days following Landlord's demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **<u>Assignment and Subletting</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.1 **<u>Transfers</u>**. Except as provided in Section 10.8, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (a) assign, transfer, or encumber this Lease or any estate or interest herein, whether directly or by operation of law, (b) permit any other entity to become Tenant hereunder by merger, consolidation, or other reorganization, (c) if Tenant is an entity other than a corporation whose stock is publicly traded, permit the transfer of an ownership interest in Tenant so as to result in a change in the current direct or indirect control of Tenant, (d) sublet any portion of the Premises, (e) grant any license, concession, or other right of occupancy of any portion of the Premises, (f) permit the use of the Premises by any parties other than Tenant, or (g) sell or otherwise transfer, in one or more transactions, a majority of Tenant's assets (any of the events listed in Section **Error! Reference source not found.** through **Error! Reference source not found.** being a "**<u>Transfer</u>**"). If Tenant is a corporation, a transfer of corporate shares by sale, assignment, bequest, inheritance, operation of law or other disposition (including such a transfer to or by a receiver or trustee in federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings) resulting in a change in the present control of such corporation or any of its parent corporations by the person or persons owning a majority of said corporate shares, shall constitute an assignment for purposes of this Lease. If Tenant is a partnership, joint venture, unincorporated limited liability company or other unincorporated business form, a transfer of the interest of persons, firms or entities responsible for managerial control of Tenant by sale, assignment, bequest, inheritance, operation of law or other disposition, so as to result in a change in the present control of said entity and/or of the underlying beneficial interests of said entity and/or a change in the identity of the persons responsible for the general credit obligations of said entity shall constitute an assignment for all purposes of this Lease. This Lease is personal to Tenant, and Tenant's rights granted hereunder do not include the right to receive any excess, either in installments or lump sum, over the Rent payable hereunder of which is expressly reserved by Landlord as hereinafter provided, except as otherwise expressly hereinafter provided. No assignment or subletting by Tenant, permitted or otherwise, or other Transfer, shall relieve Tenant of any obligation under this Lease or any guarantor of this Lease of any liability under its guaranty or alter the primary liability of the Tenant named herein for the payment of Rent or for the performance of any other obligations to be performed by Tenant. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1995.310 of the California Civil Code, or any similar or successor laws, now or hereinafter in effect, and all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed transferee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.2 **<u>Consent Standards</u>**. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any assignment of Tenant's entire interest in this Lease or subletting of the Premises. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it is reasonable for Landlord to withhold consent to any Transfer if the proposed transferee (a) is not creditworthy, (b) will use the Premises for other than the Permitted Use (thus, including, without limitation, uses for credit processing and telemarketing) and will not use the Premises in any manner that would conflict with any exclusive use agreement or other similar agreement entered into by Landlord with any other tenant of the Project, (c) will only use the Premises, Building or Project in a manner that shall not materially increase Operating Costs or the pedestrian or vehicular traffic to the Premises, Building or Project, (d) is a governmental or quasi-governmental entity, or subdivision or agency thereof, or any other entity entitled to the defense of sovereign immunity, (e) is another occupant of the Project or an Affiliate of such occupant, (f) is currently and/or has in the past been involved in litigation with Landlord or any of its Affiliates, (g) fails to meet Landlord's reasonable standards for tenants of the Project, (h) may result in, either by the transfer or any consideration payable to Landlord in connection therewith, an adverse effect on any real estate investment trust (or pension fund or other ownership vehicle) qualification tests applicable to Landlord or any of its Affiliates, and (i) is a person or entity with whom Landlord is then, or has been within the six-month period prior to the time Tenant seeks to enter into such assignment or subletting, negotiating to lease space in the Project or any Affiliate of any such person or entity. Additionally, Landlord may withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer if any Event of Default by Tenant then exists. Any Transfer made while an Event of Default exists hereunder, irrespective whether Landlord's consent is required hereunder with respect to the Transfer, shall be voidable by Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion. In agreeing to act reasonably, Landlord is agreeing to act in a manner consistent with the standards followed by large institutional owners of commercial real estate and Landlord is permitted to consider the financial terms of the Transfer and the impact of the Transfer on Landlord's own leasing efforts and the value of the Project. Landlord may condition its consent to a Transfer on an increase in the Security Deposit or receipt of a guaranty from a suitable party. Landlord shall not be required to act reasonably in considering any request to pledge or encumber this Lease or any interest therein.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.3 **<u>Request for Consent</u>**. If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to a Transfer, then, at least 15 business days prior to the effective date of the proposed Transfer and Landlord shall approve or disapprove within twenty (20) days following receipt of all information required hereunder, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written description of all terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, copies of the proposed documentation, and the following information about the proposed transferee: name and address of the proposed transferee and any entities and persons who own, control or direct the proposed transferee; reasonably satisfactory information about its business and business history; its proposed use of the Premises; banking, financial, and other credit information; general references sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the proposed transferee's creditworthiness and character, and any other information and/or documentation reasonably requested by Landlord. Concurrently with Tenant's notice of any request for consent to a Transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee of $1,000 to defray Landlord's expenses in reviewing such request, and Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord immediately upon request for its reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred in connection with considering any request for consent to a Transfer, which shall not exceed $2,500.00. Failure by or refusal of Landlord to consent to a proposed assignee or subtenant shall not cause a termination of this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.4 **<u>Conditions to Consent</u>**. If Landlord consents to a proposed Transfer, then the proposed transferee shall deliver to Landlord a written agreement whereby it expressly assumes Tenant's obligations hereunder; however, any transferee of less than all of the space in the Premises shall be liable only for obligations under this Lease that are properly allocable to the space subject to the Transfer for the period of the Transfer. No Transfer shall release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease, but rather Tenant and its transferee shall be jointly and severally liable therefor. Landlord's consent to any Transfer shall not waive Landlord's rights as to any subsequent Transfers and no subtenant of any portion of the Premises shall be permitted to further sublease any portion of its subleased space. If a breach or default by Tenant occurs while the Premises or any part thereof are subject to a Transfer, then Landlord, in addition to its other remedies, may collect directly from such transferee all rents becoming due to Tenant and apply such rents against Rent as reasonably determined by Landlord. Tenant authorizes its transferees to make payments of rent directly to Landlord upon receipt of notice from Landlord to do so following the occurrence of a breach or default by Tenant hereunder. Tenant shall pay for the cost of any demising walls or other improvements necessitated by a proposed subletting or assignment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.5 **<u>Attornment by Subtenants</u>**. Each sublease by Tenant hereunder shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate, and each subtenant by entering into a sublease is deemed to have agreed that in the event of termination, re-entry or dispossession by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublandlord, under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord's option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not be (a) liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (b) subject to any counterclaim, offset or defense that such subtenant might have against Tenant, (c) bound by any previous modification of such sublease not approved by Landlord in writing or by any rent or additional rent or advance rent which such subtenant might have paid for more than the current month to Tenant, and all such rent shall remain due and owing, notwithstanding such advance payment, (d) bound by any security or advance rental deposit made by such subtenant which is not delivered or paid over to Landlord and with respect to which such subtenant shall look solely to Tenant for refund or reimbursement, or (e) obligated to perform any work in the subleased space or to prepare it for occupancy, and in connection with such attornment, the subtenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord any instruments Landlord may reasonably request to evidence and confirm such attornment. If Landlord does not take over all right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublandlord, pursuant to the foregoing, if this Lease terminates at the time any sublease or other such agreement so affecting any part of the Premise remains in effect, such sublease or other agreement shall also terminate. Each subtenant or licensee of Tenant shall be deemed, automatically upon and as a condition of its occupying or using the Premises or any part thereof, to have agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 10.5. The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall be self-operative, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to this provision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.6 **<u>Cancellation</u>**. Landlord may, within 30 days after submission of Tenant's written request for Landlord's consent to an assignment or subletting, cancel this Lease as to the portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet or assigned as of the date the proposed Transfer is to be effective. If Landlord cancels this Lease as to any portion of the Premises, then this Lease shall cease for such portion of the Premises on the date set forth in Landlord's cancellation notice to Tenant and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rent accrued through the cancellation date relating to the portion of the Premises covered by the proposed Transfer. Thereafter, Landlord may lease such portion of the Premises to the prospective transferee (or to any other person) without liability to Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.7 **<u>Additional Compensation</u>**. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, immediately upon receipt thereof, 50% of the excess of (a) all compensation received by Tenant for a Transfer over (b) the Rent allocable to the portion of the Premises covered thereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.8 **<u>Permitted Transfers</u>**. Notwithstanding Section 10.1, so long as Tenant is not in breach or default of this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods and immediately following the Permitted Transfer, the Permitted Transferee has a Tangible Net Worth not less than the Tangible Net Worth of Tenant as of the date hereof, Tenant may Transfer all or part of its interest in this Lease or all or part of the Premises (a "**<u>Permitted Transfer</u>**") to the following types of entities (a "**<u>Permitted Transferee</u>**") without the written consent of Landlord:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.8.1 an Affiliate of Tenant, but only so long as such transferee remains an Affiliate of Tenant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.8.3 any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity acquiring all or substantially all of Tenant's assets, so long as Tenant's obligations hereunder are assumed by the entity acquiring such assets.

Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any such Permitted Transfer (but in any event no later than ten days prior to the effective date of the Permitted Transfer unless prohibited by Law or other legal agreement, in which event Tenant shall notify Landlord no later than five days following the effective date of the Permitted Transfer. Following the effective date of any such Permitted Transfer, Tenant shall remain liable for the performance of all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, or if Tenant no longer exists because of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition, the surviving or acquiring entity shall expressly assume in writing the obligations of Tenant hereunder. Additionally, the Permitted Transferee shall comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including the Permitted Use, and the use of the Premises by the Permitted Transferee may not violate any other agreements affecting the Premises or the Project, Landlord or other tenants of the Project. No later than ten days after the effective date of any Permitted Transfer, Tenant agrees to furnish Landlord with (1) copies of the instrument effecting any of the foregoing Transfers, (2) documentation establishing Tenant's satisfaction of the requirements set forth above applicable to any such Transfer, and (3) evidence of insurance as required under this Lease with respect to the Permitted Transferee. The occurrence of a Permitted Transfer shall not waive Landlord's rights as to any subsequent Transfers. The right to Transfer to an Affiliate pursuant to Section 10.8.1 shall be subject to the condition that such Permitted Transferee remains an Affiliate of Tenant and that on or before such Transfer being effected both Tenant and such Permitted Transferee must enter into an agreement with Landlord, on Landlord's then standard commercially reasonable form, Tenant and such Permitted Transferee, each acting reasonably, that if such Permitted Transferee ceases to be an Affiliate of Tenant, it shall so notify Landlord in writing within ten days after such event and, upon the written request of Landlord, transfer, assign, set over and/or re-assign this Lease and its interest in the Premises, as applicable, to Tenant or, subject to complying with this condition, another Affiliate of Tenant. "**<u>Tangible Net Worth</u>**" means the excess of total assets over total liabilities, in each case as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied ("**<u>GAAP</u>**"), excluding, however, from the determination of total assets all assets which would be classified as intangible assets under GAAP including goodwill, licenses, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, and franchises. Any subsequent Transfer by a Permitted Transferee shall be subject to the terms of this Section 10.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **<u>Insurance; Waivers; Subrogation; Indemnity</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.1 **<u>Tenant's Insurance</u>**. Effective as of the earlier of (a) the date Tenant enters or occupies the Premises, or (b) the Commencement Date, and continuing throughout the Term, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain the following insurance policies: (1) commercial general liability insurance (including property damage, bodily injury and personal injury coverage, contractual liability) in amounts of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the annual aggregate in primary coverage or, such other amounts as Landlord may from time to time reasonably require; and in the event property of Tenant's invitees or customers are kept in, or about the, Premises, Tenant shall maintain warehousemen's legal liability or bailee customers insurance for the full value of the property of such invitees or customers as determined by the warehouse contract between Tenant and its customer; and if the use and occupancy of the Premises include any activity or matter that is or may be excluded from coverage under a commercial general liability policy [e.g., the sale, service or consumption of alcoholic beverages], Tenant shall obtain such endorsements to the commercial general liability policy or otherwise obtain insurance to insure all liability arising from such activity or matter [including liquor liability, if applicable] in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably require), insuring Tenant (and naming as additional insureds Landlord, Landlord's property management company, Landlord's asset management company and, if requested in writing by Landlord, Landlord's Mortgagee), against all liability for injury to or death of a person or persons or damage to property arising from the use and occupancy of the Premises and (without implying any consent by Landlord to the installation thereof) the installation, operation, maintenance, repair or removal of Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment, (2) cause of loss-special risk form (formerly "all-risk") or its equivalent insurance (including, but not limited to, sprinkler leakage, ordinance and law, sewer back-up, pipe burst, wind-driven rain, water leakage, flood, earthquake, windstorm and collapse coverage) covering the full value of all furniture, trade fixtures, equipment and personal property (including property of Tenant or others), alterations and improvements and betterments in the Premises or otherwise placed in the Project by or on behalf of a Tenant Party (including Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment), naming Landlord and Landlord's Mortgagee as additional loss payees as their interests may appear, (3) contractual liability insurance sufficient to cover Tenant's indemnity obligations hereunder (but only if such contractual liability insurance is not already included in Tenant's commercial general liability insurance policy), (4) employers' liability insurance of at least $1,000,000, (5) commercial auto liability insurance (if applicable) covering automobiles owned, hired or used by Tenant in carrying on its business with limits not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident, insuring Tenant (and naming as additional insureds Landlord, Landlord's property management company, Landlord's asset management company and, if requested in writing by Landlord, Landlord's Mortgagee), (6) workers' compensation insurance as required by the state in which the Premises is located and in amounts as may be required by applicable statute and shall include a waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord, (7) business interruption insurance with a limit representing loss of at least approximately 6 months of income, and (8) Umbrella or Excess Liability Insurance with limits of $5,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 in the aggregate providing coverage over commercial general liability, automobile liability and employers liability required above.

Tenant's insurance shall be primary and non-contributory when any policy issued to Landlord provides duplicate or similar coverage, and in such circumstance Landlord's policy will be excess over Tenant's policy. The limits and types of insurance maintained by Tenant shall not limit Tenant's liability under this Lease. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord certificates of such insurance and such other evidence satisfactory to Landlord of the maintenance of all insurance coverages required hereunder at least ten days prior to the earlier of the Commencement Date or the date Tenant enters or occupies the Premises (in any event, within ten days of the effective date of coverage), and at least 15 days prior to each renewal of said insurance, and Tenant shall obtain a written obligation on the part of each insurance company to notify Landlord at least 30 days before cancellation or a material change of any such insurance policies. All such insurance policies shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and issued by companies with an A.M. Best rating of A:VIII or better. Acceptance by Landlord of delivery of any certificates of insurance does not constitute approval or agreement by Landlord that the insurance requirements of this section have been met, and failure of Landlord to identify a deficiency from evidence provided will not be construed as a waiver of Tenant's obligation to maintain such insurance. If Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing insurance requirements or to deliver to Landlord the certificates or evidence of coverage required herein, Landlord, in addition to any other remedy available pursuant to this Lease or otherwise, may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain such insurance and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the premium costs thereof, plus an administrative fee of 15% of such cost.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.2 **<u>Landlord's Insurance</u>**. Throughout the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall maintain, as a minimum, the following insurance policies: (a) property insurance for the Building's replacement value (excluding property required to be insured by Tenant), less a commercially-reasonable deductible if Landlord so chooses, and (b) commercial general liability insurance on the Project. Landlord may, but is not obligated to, maintain such other insurance and additional coverages as it may deem necessary. The cost of all insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Project shall be included in Operating Costs. The foregoing insurance policies and any other insurance carried by Landlord shall be for the sole benefit of Landlord and under Landlord's sole control, and Tenant shall have no right or claim to any proceeds thereof or any other rights thereunder. Any insurance required to be maintained by Landlord may be taken out under a blanket insurance policy or policies covering other buildings, property or insureds in addition to the Building and Landlord. In such event, the costs of any such blanket insurance policy or policies shall be reasonably allocated to the Project and the other properties covered by such policy or policies as reasonably determined by Landlord and included as part of Operating Costs. Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for any increased premiums or additional insurance which Landlord reasonably deems solely and necessary as a result of Tenant's use of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord's indemnity obligations under this Lease shall be limited to the extent any such claim is insured against under the terms of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord (or is required to be maintained by Landlord under the terms of this Lease).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.3 **<u>No Subrogation; Waiver of Property Claims</u>**. Landlord and Tenant each waives (and shall cause their respective insurers to waive) any claim it might have against the other for any damage to or theft, destruction, loss, or loss of use of any property, to the extent the same is insured against under any fire, extended coverage or other property insurance policy insurance policy of the types described in this Section 11 that covers the Project, the Premises, Landlord's or Tenant's fixtures, personal property, leasehold improvements, or business, or is required to be insured against under the terms hereof, **regardless of whether the negligence of the other party caused such Loss (defined below)**. Additionally, Tenant waives any claim it may have against Landlord for any Loss to the extent such Loss is caused by a terrorist act. Each party shall cause its insurance carrier to endorse all applicable policies waiving the carrier's rights of recovery under subrogation or otherwise against the other party. Neither party nor its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees or contractors shall be liable to the other for loss or damage caused by any risk coverable by all risk or special form property insurance, and each party waives any claims against the other party, and its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors for such loss or damage. The failure of a party to insure its property shall not void this waiver. Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord, its agents, employees and contractors shall not be liable to Tenant or to any party claiming by, through or under Tenant for (and Tenant hereby releases Landlord and its servants, agents, contractors, employees and invitees from any claim or responsibility for) any damage to or destruction, loss, or loss of use, or theft of any property of any Tenant Party located in or about the Project, caused by casualty, theft, fire, third parties or any other matter or cause, **regardless of whether the negligence of any party caused such loss in whole or in part**. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not carry insurance on, and shall not be responsible for damage to, any property of any Tenant Party located in or about the Project.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.4 **<u>Indemnity</u>**. Subject to Section 11.3, except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and as stated in this Lease, Tenant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord and its representatives and agents from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, causes of action, suits, judgments, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from any injury to or death of any person or the damage to or theft, destruction, loss, or loss of use of, any property or inconvenience (a "**<u>Loss</u>**") (a) occurring in or on the Project (other than within the Premises) to the extent caused by and act, negligence or willful misconduct of any Tenant Party, (b) occurring in the Premises, (c) arising out of the installation, operation, maintenance, repair or removal of any property of any Tenant Party located in or about the Project, including Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment, (d) claims of injury to or death of persons or damage to property or business loss occurring or resulting directly or indirectly from the use or occupancy of the Premises, Building or Project by Tenant or Tenant's Parties, or from activities or failures to act of Tenant or Tenant's Parties, (e) claims arising from any breach or default on the part of Tenant in the performance of any covenant contained in this Lease, and/or (f) claims arising from work or labor performed, or for materials or supplies furnished to or at the request or for the account of Tenant in connection with performance of any work done for the account of Tenant within the Premises or Project. **It being agreed that clauses (b) and** Error! Reference source not found. **of this indemnity are intended to indemnify Landlord and its agents against the consequences of their own negligence or fault, even when Landlord or its agents are jointly, comparatively, contributively, or concurrently negligent with Tenant, and even though any such claim, cause of action or suit is based upon or alleged to be based upon the strict liability of Landlord or its agents; however, such indemnity shall not apply to the sole or gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and its agents.** Subject to Section 11.3, Landlord shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tenant and its agents from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, causes of action, suits, judgments, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) for any Loss arising from any occurrence in or on the Building's common areas to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents. The indemnities set forth in this Lease shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease and shall not terminate or be waived, diminished or affected in any manner by any abatement or apportionment of Rent under any provision of this Lease. If any proceeding is filed for which indemnity is required hereunder, the indemnifying party agrees, upon request therefor, to defend the indemnified party in such proceeding at its sole cost utilizing counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **<u>Subordination; Attornment; Notice to Landlord's Mortgagee</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.1 **<u>Subordination</u>**. This Lease shall be subordinate to any deed of trust, mortgage, or other security instrument (each, a "**<u>Mortgage</u>**"), or any ground lease, master lease, or primary lease (each, a "**<u>Primary Lease</u>**"), that now or hereafter covers all or any part of the Premises (the mortgagee under any such Mortgage, beneficiary under any such deed of trust, or the lessor under any such Primary Lease is referred to herein as a "**<u>Landlord's Mortgagee</u>**"). Any Landlord's Mortgagee may elect, at any time, unilaterally, to make this Lease superior to its Mortgage, Primary Lease, or other interest in the Premises by so notifying Tenant in writing. The provisions of this Section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required; however, in confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord (or such other party designated by Landlord) within ten days after written request therefor such documentation, in recordable form if required, as a Landlord's Mortgagee may reasonably request to evidence the subordination of this Lease to such Landlord's Mortgagee's Mortgage or Primary Lease (including a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement) or, if Landlord's Mortgagee so elects, the subordination of such Landlord's Mortgagee's Mortgage or Primary Lease to this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.2 **<u>Attornment</u>**. Tenant shall attorn to any party succeeding to Landlord's interest in the Premises, whether by purchase, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, power of sale, termination of lease, or otherwise, upon such party's request, and shall execute such agreements confirming such attornment as such party may reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.3 **<u>Notice to Landlord's Mortgagee</u>**. Tenant shall not seek to enforce any remedy it may have for any default on the part of Landlord without first giving written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, specifying the default in reasonable detail, to any Landlord's Mortgagee whose address has been given to Tenant, and affording such Landlord's Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to perform Landlord's obligations hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.4 **<u>Landlord's Mortgagee's Protection Provisions</u>**. If Landlord's Mortgagee shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, Landlord's Mortgagee shall not be: (a) liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor (including Landlord); (b) bound by any rent or additional rent or advance rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior lessor (including Landlord), and all such rent shall remain due and owing, notwithstanding such advance payment; (c) bound by any security or advance rental deposit made by Tenant which is not delivered or paid over to Landlord's Mortgagee and with respect to which Tenant shall look solely to Landlord for refund or reimbursement; (d) bound by any termination, amendment or modification of this Lease made without Landlord's Mortgagee's consent and written approval, except for those terminations, amendments and modifications permitted to be made by Landlord without Landlord's Mortgagee's consent pursuant to the terms of the loan documents between Landlord and Landlord's Mortgagee; (e) subject to the defenses which Tenant might have against any prior lessor (including Landlord); and (f) subject to the offsets which Tenant might have against any prior lessor (including Landlord) except for those offset rights which (1) are expressly provided in this Lease, (2) relate to periods of time following the acquisition of the Building by Landlord's Mortgagee, and (3) Tenant has provided written notice to Landlord's Mortgagee and provided Landlord's Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure the event giving rise to such offset event. Landlord's Mortgagee shall have no liability or responsibility under or pursuant to the terms of this Lease or otherwise after it ceases to own fee simple title to the Project. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed to require Landlord's Mortgagee to see to the application of the proceeds of any loan, and Tenant's agreements set forth herein shall not be impaired on account of any modification of the documents evidencing and securing any loan. As used in this Section 12.4, Landlord's Mortgagee shall include any party succeeding to Landlord's interest in the Premises, whether by purchase, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, power of sale, termination of lease, or otherwise.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.5 **<u>Modification of Lease</u>**. If any Landlord's Mortgagee requires a modification of this Lease, which modification will not cause an increased cost or expense to Tenant or in any other way materially and adversely change the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder, Tenant agrees that this Lease may be so modified and agrees to execute whatever documents are reasonably required therefor and to deliver the same to Landlord within ten business days following a request therefor. At the request of Landlord or any Landlord's Mortgagee, Tenant agrees to execute a short form of this Lease and deliver the same to Landlord within ten business days following the request therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **<u>Rules and Regulations</u>**. Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Project which are attached hereto as <u>Exhibit B</u>. Landlord may, from time to time, change such rules and regulations for the safety, care, traffic flow, cleanliness and/or general order of the Project and related facilities, provided that such changes are generally applicable to all tenants of the Project whose leases require such compliance, will not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises and are enforced by Landlord in a non-discriminatory manner among all tenants whose leases require such compliance. Tenant shall be responsible for the compliance or noncompliance with such rules and regulations by each Tenant Party. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the non-compliance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building or Project with any of such rules and regulations, any other tenant's or occupant's lease or any Laws. In the event of any conflict between the rules and regulations and the terms and conditions of this Lease, the terms and conditions of this Lease shall control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **<u>Condemnation</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.1 **<u>Total Taking</u>**. If the entire Building or Premises are taken or condemned for any public use or otherwise by right of eminent domain or conveyed in lieu thereof (a "**<u>Taking</u>**"), this Lease shall terminate as of the date of the Taking. Any regulatory action, ordinance or Law limiting or temporarily prohibiting Tenant's right to enter or use the Premises, the Building and/or the Project shall not be construed as a taking or appropriation under this Section 14 and Tenant shall have no right to rent abatement or termination right as a result thereof notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.2 **<u>Partial Taking - Tenant's Rights</u>**. If any part of the Building becomes subject to a Taking and such Taking will prevent Tenant from conducting its business on a permanent basis in the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such Taking, then Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date of such Taking by giving written notice to Landlord within 30 days after the Taking, and Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such Taking. If Tenant does not terminate this Lease, then Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated on a reasonable basis as to that portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by the Taking.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.3 **<u>Partial Taking - Landlord's Rights</u>**. If any material portion, but less than all, of the Building or Project becomes subject to a Taking, or if Landlord is required to pay any of the proceeds arising from a Taking to a Landlord's Mortgagee, then Landlord may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice thereof to Tenant within 30 days after such Taking, and Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such Taking. If Landlord does not so terminate this Lease, then this Lease will continue, but if any portion of the Premises has been taken, Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall abate as provided in the last sentence of Section 14.2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.4 **<u>Award</u>**. If any Taking occurs, then Landlord shall receive the entire award or other compensation for the Project and other improvements taken; however, Tenant may separately pursue a claim (to the extent it will not reduce Landlord's award) against the condemnor for the value of Tenant's personal property which Tenant is entitled to remove under this Lease, moving costs and loss of business.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.5 **<u>Restoration</u>**. In the event of any Taking of less than the whole of the Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, (a) Landlord, at its expense but only to the extent of the award actually received by Landlord pursuant to such Taking (after deducting any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Taking), shall proceed with reasonable diligence to repair, alter and restore the remaining parts of the affected Building and the Premises therein to the extent practicable, and (b) if requested by either party, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease confirming the deletion from the Premises of the space subject to the Taking.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.6 **<u>Waiver</u>.** Tenant waives the provisions of California Civil Code Procedure Section 1265.130 allowing Tenant to petition the superior court to terminate this Lease as a result of a partial taking. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, however, a regulatory action, ordinance or applicable Laws limiting or temporarily prohibiting Tenant's right to enter or use the Premises or the Building shall not be construed as a Taking or appropriation hereunder and Tenant shall have no right to rent abatement as a result thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **<u>Fire or Other Casualty</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.1 **<u>Repair Estimate</u>**. If the Premises or the Project are damaged by fire or other casualty (a "**<u>Casualty</u>**"), Landlord shall, within 90 days after such Casualty, deliver to Tenant a good faith estimate (the "**<u>Damage Notice</u>**") of the time needed to repair the damage caused by such Casualty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.2 **<u>Tenant's Rights</u>**. If the Premises are damaged by Casualty such that Tenant is prevented from conducting its business in the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such Casualty and Landlord estimates that the damage caused thereby for which Landlord is responsible to repair under this Lease pursuant to Section 15.4 below cannot be repaired within 270 days after the commencement of repairs (the "**<u>Repair Period</u>**"), then Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord of its election to terminate within 30 days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.3 **<u>Landlord's Rights</u>**. If a Casualty occurs and (a) Landlord estimates that the damage cannot be repaired within the Repair Period, (b) the damage exceeds 50% of the replacement cost thereof (excluding foundations and footings), as estimated by Landlord, and such damage occurs during the last two years of the Term, (c) regardless of the extent of damage, the damage is not fully covered by Landlord's insurance policies or Landlord makes a good faith determination that restoring the damage would be uneconomical, or (d) Landlord is required to pay any insurance proceeds arising out of the Casualty to a Landlord's Mortgagee, then, in the event of any of the foregoing, Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of its election to terminate within 30 days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.4 **<u>Repair Obligation</u>**. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease following a Casualty, then Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after such Casualty, begin to repair the Premises and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as they existed immediately before such Casualty; however, Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any improvements, alterations or betterments within the Premises (which shall be promptly and with due diligence repaired and restored by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense) or any furniture, equipment, trade fixtures or personal property of Tenant or others in the Premises or the Project, and Landlord's obligation to repair or restore the Premises shall be limited to the extent of the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord for the Casualty in question. If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of this Section 15, Landlord shall be entitled to the full proceeds of the insurance policies providing coverage for all alterations, improvements and betterments in the Premises (and, if Tenant has failed to maintain insurance on such items as required by this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to the proceeds Landlord would have received had Tenant maintained insurance on such items as required by this Lease).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.5 **<u>Abatement of Rent</u>**. If the Premises are damaged by Casualty, Basic Rent and Additional Rent for the portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by the damage shall be abated on a reasonable basis from the date of damage until the earlier of (a) completion of Landlord's repairs, (b) the date upon which completion of Landlord's repairs would have occurred but for delays caused by Tenant Parties, or (c) the date of termination of this Lease by Landlord or Tenant as provided above, as the case may be, unless a Tenant Party caused such damage, in which case, Tenant shall continue to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent without abatement (and in such event Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the cost and expense of the repair and restoration of the Building or Project caused thereby to the extent such cost and expense is not covered by insurance proceeds).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.6 **<u>Waiver</u>.** Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, or any similar or successor law, statute or ordinance now or hereinafter in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **<u>Personal Property Taxes</u>**. Tenant shall be liable for, and shall pay prior to delinquency, all taxes levied or assessed against personal property, furniture, fixtures, betterments, improvements, and alterations placed by any Tenant Party in the Premises or in or on the Building or Project. If any taxes for which Tenant is liable are levied or assessed against Landlord or Landlord's property and Landlord elects to pay the same, or if the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by inclusion of such personal property, furniture, fixtures, betterments, improvements, and alterations and Landlord elects to pay the taxes based on such increase, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within 30 days following written request therefor, the part of such taxes for which Tenant is primarily liable hereunder; however, Landlord shall not pay such amount if Tenant notifies Landlord that it will contest the validity or amount of such taxes before Landlord makes such payment, and thereafter diligently proceeds with such contest in accordance with Law and if the non-payment thereof does not pose a threat of loss or seizure of the Project or interest of Landlord therein or impose any fee or penalty against Landlord.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. **<u>Events of Default</u>**. Each of the following occurrences shall be an "**<u>Event of Default</u>**":

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.1 **<u>Payment Default</u>**. Tenant's failure to pay Rent within three days after Landlord has delivered written notice to Tenant that the same is due; however, an Event of Default shall occur hereunder without any obligation of Landlord to give any notice if Tenant fails to pay Rent when due and, during the 12 month interval preceding such failure, Landlord has given Tenant written notice of failure to pay Rent on one or more occasions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.2 **<u>Abandonment</u>**. Tenant (a) abandons or vacates the Premises or any substantial portion thereof or (b) fails to continuously operate its business in the Premises. Tenant waives any right to notice Tenant may have under Section 1951.3 of the Civil Code of the State of California, the terms of this Section 17.2 being deemed such notice to Tenant as required by said Section 1951.3;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.3 **<u>Estoppel; Subordination; Financial Reports</u>**. Tenant fails to provide any estoppel certificate, documentation regarding the subordination of this Lease or financial reports after Landlord's written request therefor pursuant to Section 25.5, Section 12.1, and Section 25.19 respectively, and such failure shall continue for five days after Landlord's written notice thereof to Tenant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.4 **<u>Insurance</u>**. Tenant fails to procure, maintain and deliver to Landlord evidence of the insurance policies and coverages as required under Section 11.1;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.5 **<u>Mechanic's Liens</u>**. Tenant fails to pay and release of record, or diligently contest and bond around, any mechanic's or construction lien filed against the Premises or the Project for any work performed, materials furnished, or obligation incurred by or at the request of a Tenant Party, within the time and in the manner required by Section 8.4;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.6 **<u>Other Defaults</u>**. Tenant's failure to perform, comply with, or observe any agreement or obligation of Tenant under this Lease other than provided in this Section 17 and the continuance of such failure for a period of more than thirty (30) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant written notice thereof; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant's default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall commence such cure as soon as reasonably possible, but in any event within said thirty (30) day period, and thereafter Tenant shall diligently prosecute such cure to completion (provided that completion shall be achieved within sixty (60) days); and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.7 **<u>Insolvency</u>**. The filing of a petition by or against Tenant (the term "Tenant" shall include, for the purpose of this Section 17.7, any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder) (a) in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding; (b) seeking any relief under any state or federal debtor relief law; (c) for the appointment of a liquidator or receiver for all or substantially all of Tenant's property or for Tenant's interest in this Lease; (d) for the reorganization or modification of Tenant's capital structure; or (e) in any assignment for the benefit of creditors proceeding; however, if such a petition is filed against Tenant, then such filing shall not be an Event of Default unless Tenant fails to have the proceedings initiated by such petition dismissed within 90 days after the filing thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **<u>Remedies</u>**. Upon any Event of Default, Landlord may, in addition to all other rights and remedies afforded Landlord hereunder or by law or equity, take any one or more of the following actions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.1 **<u>Termination of Lease</u>**. Terminate this Lease and Tenant's right to possession of the Premises provided by Section 1951.2 of the Civil Code of the State of California, or any successor code sections. Upon such termination, in addition to any other rights and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled under applicable law or at equity, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant: (1) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent and other amounts which had been earned at the time of termination, (2) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other amounts that would have been earned after the date of termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other amounts for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that the Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; (4) any other amount and court costs necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom; and (5) any such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time under applicable Law. The "worth at the time of award" as used in (1) and (2) above shall be computed at the Default Rate (defined in Section 5 above). The "worth at the time of award" as used in (3) above shall be computed by discounting such amount at the Federal Discount Rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). If this Lease provides for any periods during the Term during which Tenant is not required to pay Basic Rent or if Tenant otherwise receives a Rent concession, then upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Tenant shall owe to Landlord the full amount of such Basic Rent or value of such Rent concession, plus interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date that such Basic Rent or Rent concession would have been payable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.2 **<u>Termination of Possession</u>**. Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 ("Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant's breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations"), or any successor code section. Accordingly, Landlord has the right to terminate Tenant's right to possess the Premises without terminating this Lease by giving written notice thereof to Tenant, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord (a) all Rent and other amounts accrued hereunder to the date of termination of possession, (b) all amounts due from time to time under Section 19.1, and (c) all Rent and other net sums required hereunder to be paid by Tenant during the remainder of the Term, diminished by any net sums thereafter received by Landlord through reletting the Premises during such period, after deducting all costs incurred by Landlord in reletting the Premises. If Landlord elects to terminate Tenant's right to possession without terminating this Lease, and to retake possession of the Premises (and Landlord shall have no duty to make such election), Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises as further described in Section 19.4 below. Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant's obligations hereunder be diminished because of, Landlord's failure to relet the Premises or to collect rent due for such reletting.Tenant shall not be entitled to the excess of any consideration obtained by reletting over the Rent due hereunder. Reentry by Landlord in the Premises shall not affect Tenant's obligations hereunder for the unexpired Term; rather, Landlord may, from time to time, bring an action against Tenant to collect amounts due by Tenant, without the necessity of Landlord's waiting until the expiration of the Term. Unless Landlord delivers written notice to Tenant expressly stating that it has elected to terminate this Lease, all actions taken by Landlord to dispossess or exclude Tenant from the Premises shall be deemed to be taken under this Section 18.2. If Landlord elects to proceed under this Section 18.2, it may at any time elect to terminate this Lease under Section 18.1;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.3 **<u>Perform Acts on Behalf of Tenant</u>**. Perform any act Tenant is obligated to perform under the terms of this Lease (and may immediately enter upon the Premises in connection therewith if necessary) in Tenant's name and on Tenant's behalf, without being liable for any claim for damages therefor, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease (including, but not limited to, collection costs and legal expenses), plus interest thereon at the Default Rate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.4 **<u>Intentionally Omitted</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.5 **<u>Intentionally Omitted</u>** .

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.6 **<u>Replacement of Statutory Notice Requirements</u>.** When this Lease requires service of a notice, that notice shall replace rather than supplement any equivalent or similar statutory notice, including any notice required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor statute. When a statute requires service of a notice in a particular manner, service of that notice (or a similar notice required by this Lease) in the manner required by this Section 18.6 shall replace and satisfy the statutory service-of-notice procedures, including those required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1162 or any similar or successor statute.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.7 **<u>California Waivers</u>**. TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS CONFERRED BY SECTION 3275 OF THE CIVIL CODE OF CALIFORNIA AND BY SECTIONS 1174 (c) AND 1179 OF THE CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OF CALIFORNIA AND ANY AND ALL OTHER LAWS AND RULES OF LAW FROM TIME TO TIME IN EFFECT DURING THE TERM PROVIDING THAT TENANT SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHT TO REDEEM, REINSTATE OR RESTORE THIS LEASE FOLLOWING ITS TERMINATION BY REASON OF TENANT'S BREACH.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **<u>Payment by Tenant; Non-Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Mitigation of Damage</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.1 **<u>Payment by Tenant</u>**. Upon any Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all amounts, costs, losses and/or expenses incurred, abated or foregone by Landlord (including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in (a) obtaining possession of the Premises, (b) removing, storing and/or disposing of Tenant's or any other occupant's property, (c) repairing, restoring, altering, remodeling, or otherwise putting the Premises into the condition acceptable to a new tenant, (d) if Tenant is dispossessed of the Premises and this Lease is not terminated, reletting all or any part of the Premises (including brokerage commissions, cost of tenant finish work, and other costs incidental to such reletting), (e) performing Tenant's obligations under this Lease which Tenant failed to perform, (f) enforcing, or advising Landlord of, its rights, remedies, and recourses arising out of the default, and (g) securing this Lease, including all commissions, allowances, reasonable attorneys' fees, and if this Lease or any amendment hereto contains any abated Rent granted by Landlord as an inducement or concession to secure this Lease or amendment hereto, the full amount of all Rent so abated (and such abated amounts shall be payable immediately by Tenant to Landlord, without any obligation by Landlord to provide written notice thereof to Tenant, and Tenant's right to any abated rent accruing following such Event of Default shall immediately terminate).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.2 **<u>No Waiver</u>**. Landlord's acceptance of Rent following an Event of Default shall not waive Landlord's rights regarding such Event of Default. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach of any of the terms contained herein shall waive Landlord's rights regarding any future violation of such term. Landlord's acceptance of any partial payment of Rent shall not waive Landlord's rights with regard to the remaining portion of the Rent that is due, regardless of any endorsement or other statement on any instrument delivered in payment of Rent or any writing delivered in connection therewith; accordingly, Landlord's acceptance of a partial payment of Rent shall not constitute an accord and satisfaction of the full amount of the Rent that is due.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.3 **<u>Cumulative Remedies</u>**. Any and all remedies set forth in this Lease: (a) shall be in addition to any and all other remedies Landlord may have at law or in equity, (b) shall be cumulative, and (c) may be pursued successively or concurrently as Landlord may elect. The exercise of any remedy by Landlord shall not be deemed an election of remedies or preclude Landlord from exercising any other remedies in the future. Additionally, Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, Landlord's Mortgagee and their respective representatives and agents from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, causes of action, suits, judgments, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.4 **<u>Mitigation of Damage</u>**. The parties agree any duty imposed by Law on Landlord to mitigate damages after a default by Tenant under this Lease shall be satisfied in full if Landlord uses reasonable efforts to lease the Premises to another tenant (a "**<u>Substitute Tenant</u>**") in accordance with the following criteria: (a) Landlord shall have no obligation to solicit or entertain negotiations with any Substitute Tenant for the Premises until 30 days following the date upon which Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Premises, including the relinquishment by Tenant of any claim to possession of the Premises by written notice from Tenant to Landlord; (b) Landlord shall not be obligated to lease or show the Premises on a priority basis or offer the Premises to any prospective tenant when other space in the Project is or soon will be available; (c) Landlord shall not be obligated to lease the Premises to a Substitute Tenant for less than the current fair market value of the Premises, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion, nor will Landlord be obligated to enter into a new lease for the Premises under other terms and conditions that are unacceptable to Landlord under Landlord's then-current leasing policies; (d) Landlord shall not be obligated to enter into a lease with a Substitute Tenant: (1) whose use would violate any restriction, covenant or requirement contained in the lease of another tenant in the Project; (2) whose use would adversely affect the reputation of the Project; (3) whose use would require any addition to or modification of the Premises or Project in order to comply with applicable Law, including building codes; (4) whose Tangible Net Worth is less than Tenant's Tangible Net Worth as of the Lease Date or who does not have, in Landlord's sole opinion, the creditworthiness to be an acceptable tenant; (5) that is a governmental entity, or quasi-governmental entity, or subdivision or agency thereof, or any other entity entitled to the defense of sovereign immunity or is otherwise prohibited by Section 9 of the Lease; (6) that does not meet Landlord's reasonable standards for tenants of the Project or is otherwise incompatible with the character of the occupancy of the Project, as reasonably determined by Landlord; (7) whose use does not comply with the Permitted Use; (8) whose use or occupancy would result in an increase in the insurance premiums for the Project; or (9) whose use would result in utilization of more parking spaces on the Project in excess of the number previously utilized by Tenant; and (e) Landlord shall not be required to expend any amount of money to alter, remodel or otherwise make the Premises suitable for use by a Substitute Tenant unless: (1) Tenant pays any such amount to Landlord prior to Landlord's execution of a lease with such Substitute Tenant (which payment shall not relieve Tenant of any amount it owes Landlord as a result of Tenant's default under this Lease); or (2) Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion, determines any such expenditure is financially prudent in connection with entering into a lease with the Substitute Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. **<u>Landlord's Lien</u>**. In addition to any statutory landlord's lien, now or hereafter enacted, Tenant grants to Landlord, to secure performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder, a security interest in all of the property situated in or upon, or used in connection with, the Premises or the Project, and all proceeds thereof (except merchandise sold in the ordinary course of business) (collectively, the "**<u>Collateral</u>**"), and the Collateral shall not be removed from the Premises or the Project without the prior written consent of Landlord until all obligations of Tenant have been fully performed. The Collateral includes specifically all furniture and all trade and other fixtures, and inventory, equipment, contract rights, accounts receivable and the proceeds thereof. For the purposes of this Section 20, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that all property located in the Premises is owned by Tenant. Upon the occurrence of a breach or default by Tenant, Landlord may, in addition to all other remedies, without notice or demand except as provided below, exercise the rights afforded to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Premises are located (the "**<u>UCC</u>**"). To the extent the UCC requires Landlord to give to Tenant notice of any act or event and such notice cannot be validly waived before a default occurs, then five-days' prior written notice thereof shall be reasonable notice of the act or event. In order to perfect such security interest, Landlord may file any financing statement or other instrument necessary at Tenant's expense at the state and county Uniform Commercial Code filing offices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, during the Term, Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion, agrees to subordinate or waive any statutory lien Landlord may have on any of Tenant's equipment, trade fixtures, furniture and other personal property located at the Premises to any lien granted by Tenant in the same, any such subordination agreement or waiver shall be on Landlord's standard form of agreement, and Tenant shall be responsible for reimbursing Landlord for any and all reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in connection with such agreement. Such amount shall be due and payable upon Landlord's written demand therefor.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. **<u>Surrender of Premises</u>**. No act by Landlord shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by Landlord. At the expiration or termination of this Lease or Tenant's right to possess the Premises, Tenant shall (a) deliver to Landlord the Premises broom-clean with all improvements located therein in good repair and condition (except for condemnation and Casualty damage not caused by Tenant, as to which Sections 14 and 15 shall control), free of any liens or encumbrances and free of Hazardous Materials placed on the Premises during the Term; (b) deliver to Landlord all keys to the Premises and all access cards to the Project (and shall reimburse Landlord for the then-current replacement cost charged by Landlord for all such keys and access cards that are not returned); (c) remove all trade fixtures, furniture (including demountable walls), and personal property placed in the Premises or elsewhere in the Project by a Tenant Party and equipment located in the Premises (but Tenant may not remove any such item which was paid for, in whole or in part, by Landlord unless Landlord requires such removal); (d) remove any and all cabling (including conduit) installed in the Premises or elsewhere in the Project by or on behalf of a Tenant Party, including all connections for such cabling, at Tenant's sole cost or, if Landlord so elects, Landlord may perform such removal at Tenant's sole cost, with the cost thereof to be paid to Landlord as Rent (Landlord will have the right, however, upon notice to Tenant, given prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, to require Tenant to abandon and leave in place, without additional payment to Tenant or credit against Rent, any and all such cabling [including conduit], whether located in the Premises or elsewhere in the Project, and if Landlord so elects, Tenant covenants that such cabling shall be left in a neat and safe condition in accordance with the requirements of all applicable Laws, including the National Electric Code or any successor statute, and shall be terminated at both ends of a connector, properly labeled at each end and in each electrical closet and junction box); and (e) unless otherwise notified in writing by Landlord, remove alterations, additions, improvements, and Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment and restore the Premises, Building and/or Project, as applicable, to an good condition and in any event no less than their conditions existing immediately prior to the installation of such alterations, additions, improvements, and Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment; however, Tenant shall not remove any addition or improvement to the Premises or the Project if Landlord has specifically agreed in writing that the improvement or addition in question shall not be removed. Tenant shall repair all damage caused by the removal of the items described above. If Tenant fails to remove any property, including any of the property described above, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, (1) deem such items to have been abandoned by Tenant, the title thereof shall immediately pass to Landlord at no cost to Landlord, and such items may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed, or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without notice to Tenant and without any obligation to account for such items; any such disposition shall not be considered a strict foreclosure or other exercise of Landlord's rights in respect of the security interest granted hereunder or otherwise, (2) remove such items, perform any work required to be performed by Tenant hereunder, and repair all damage caused by such work, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations hereunder (including collection costs and attorneys' fees), plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, or (3) elect any of the actions described in clauses (1) and (2) above as Landlord may elect in its sole discretion. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to vacating the Premises and shall meet with Landlord for a joint inspection of the Premises at the time of vacating, but nothing contained herein shall be construed as an extension of the Term or as a consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant. In the event of Tenant's failure to give such notice or participate in such joint inspection, Landlord's inspection at or after Tenant's vacating the Premises shall conclusively be deemed correct for purposes of determining Tenant's responsibility for repairs and restoration. Any delay caused by Tenant's failure to carry out its obligations under this Section 21 beyond the Term hereof, shall constitute unlawful and illegal possession of Premises under this Lease. The provisions of this Section 21 shall survive the end of the Term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. **<u>Holding Over</u>**. If Tenant fails to vacate the Premises at the end of the Term, then Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance whether or not Landlord accepts any rent from Tenant or any other person while Tenant remains in possession of the Premises following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. If Tenant shall retain possession of the Premises or any portion thereof without Landlord's consent following the expiration of this Lease or sooner termination for any reason, then in addition to all other damages and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled for such holding over, (a) Tenant shall pay 150% of the Rent payable during the last month of the Term, and (b) Tenant shall otherwise continue to be subject to all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. The provisions of this Section 22 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. In addition to the payment of the amounts provided above, if Tenant fails to vacate the Premises within fifteen (15) days after Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord has entered into a lease for the Premises or has received a bona fide offer to lease the Premises, and that Landlord will be unable to deliver possession, or perform improvements, due to Tenant's holdover, then Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damages, including, without limitation, consequential damages, that Landlord suffers from the holdover. The provisions of this Section 22 shall survive any expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23. **<u>Certain Rights Reserved by Landlord</u>**. Landlord shall have the following rights so long as such rights do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises for the Permitted Use:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23.1 **<u>Building Operations</u>**. To decorate and to make inspections, repairs, alterations, additions, changes, or improvements, whether structural or otherwise, in and about the Project, or any part thereof; to enter upon the Premises (after giving Tenant reasonable notice thereof, which may be verbal notice, except in cases of real or apparent emergency, in which case no notice shall be required) and, during the continuance of any such work, to temporarily close doors, entryways, public space, and corridors in the Building; to interrupt or temporarily suspend Building services and facilities; to change the name of the Building; and to change the arrangement and location of entrances or passageways, doors, and doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, restrooms, or other public parts of the Building;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23.2 **<u>Security</u>**. To take such reasonable measures as Landlord deems advisable for the security of the Building and its occupants; evacuating the Building for cause, suspected cause, or for drill purposes; temporarily denying access to the Building (Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for providing adequate security for its use of the Premises, the Building and the Project and that Landlord shall have no obligation or liability with respect thereto, except to the extent if any that Landlord has specifically agreed elsewhere in this Lease to provide the same);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23.3 **<u>Prospective Purchasers and Lenders</u>**. Upon reasonable prior notice at least 24 hours (which notice may be verbal) to Tenant, to enter the Premises at all reasonable hours to show the Premises to prospective partners, investors, purchasers or lenders; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23.4 **<u>Prospective Tenants</u>**. At any time during the last 12 months of the Term (or earlier if Tenant has notified Landlord in writing that it does not desire to extend the Term) upon reasonable prior notice at least 24 hours (which notice may be verbal) to Tenant, or at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, to enter the Premises at all reasonable hours to show the Premises to prospective tenants.

In exercising the foregoing rights in this Section 23, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant's occupancy of the Premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24. **<u>Intentionally Omitted</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25. **<u>Miscellaneous</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.1 **<u>Landlord Transfer</u>**. Landlord may transfer any portion of the Project and any of its rights under this Lease. If Landlord assigns its rights under this Lease, then Landlord shall thereby be released from any further obligations hereunder arising after the date of transfer, provided that the assignee assumes in writing Landlord's obligations hereunder arising from and after the transfer date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.2 **<u>Landlord's Liability</u>**. The liability of Landlord (and its successors, partners, shareholders or members) to Tenant (or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Tenant) for any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease or any matter relating to or arising out of the occupancy or use of the Premises and/or other areas of the Building, Project or any related complex shall be limited to Tenant's actual direct, but not consequential, damages therefor and shall be recoverable only from the amount which is equal to the interest of Landlord in the Building. Further, Landlord (Landlord's successors, partners, shareholders or members) shall not be personally liable for any deficiency. The provisions of this Section shall survive any expiration or termination of this Lease. Landlord and its agents, employees and contractors shall not be liable for, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against such parties for losses resulting from an interruption of Tenant's business, or any person claiming through Tenant, resulting from any accident or occurrence in or upon the Premises or the Project from any cause whatsoever, including without limitation, damage caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by the negligence of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors. **At any time when there is outstanding a mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument covering Landlord's interest in the Premises, Tenant may not exercise any remedies for default by Landlord hereunder unless and until the holder of the indebtedness secured by such mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument shall have received written notice of such default and a reasonable time for curing such default shall thereafter have elapsed.**

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.3 **<u>Force Majeure</u>**. Time is of the essence with respect to all provisions of this Lease, except that whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for action to be taken by Landlord or Tenant, Landlord or Tenant, as applicable shall not be liable or responsible for and there shall be excluded from the computation of any such period of time, any delays due to strikes, riots, acts of God, pandemics, shortages of labor or materials, war, governmental laws, regulations or restrictions or any other cause of any kind whatsoever which are beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or Tenant, as applicable (each a "**<u>Force Majeure Event</u>**"). The provisions of this Section shall not operate to excuse Tenant from prompt payment of Rent or any other payments required by the terms of this Lease and shall not extend the Term. Delays or failures to perform resulting from lack of funds shall not be deemed a Force Majeure Event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.4 **<u>Brokerage</u>**. Neither Landlord nor Tenant has dealt with any broker or agent in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Lease, other than the Broker(s), if any, set forth in the basic Lease Information, whose commissions shall be paid pursuant to separate written agreement(s). Tenant and Landlord shall each indemnify the other against all costs, expenses, attorneys' fees, liens and other liability for commissions or other compensation claimed by any other broker or agent claiming the same by, through or under the indemnifying party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.5 **<u>Estoppel Certificates</u>**. From time to time, Tenant shall furnish to any party designated by Landlord, within ten (10) business days after Landlord has made a request therefor, a certificate signed by Tenant confirming and containing such factual certifications and representations as to this Lease as Landlord may reasonably request. Unless otherwise required by Landlord's Mortgagee or a prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Project, the initial form of estoppel certificate to be signed by Tenant is attached hereto as <u>Exhibit E</u>. If Tenant does not deliver to Landlord the certificate signed by Tenant within such required time period, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant without notice and opportunity to cure and Landlord, Landlord's Mortgagee and any prospective purchaser or mortgagee, may conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts: (a) this Lease is in full force and effect; (b) the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (c) not more than one monthly installment of Basic Rent and other charges have been paid in advance; (d) there are no claims against Landlord nor any defenses or rights of offset against collection of Rent or other charges; and (e) Landlord is not in default under this Lease. In such event, Tenant shall be estopped from denying the truth of the presumed facts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.6 **<u>Notices</u>**. All notices and other communications given pursuant to this Lease shall be in writing and shall be (a) mailed by first class, United States Mail, postage prepaid, certified, with return receipt requested, and addressed to the parties hereto at the address specified in the Basic Lease Information, (b) hand-delivered to the intended addressee, or (c) sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service. The parties hereto may change their addresses by giving notice thereof to the other in conformity with this provision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.7 **<u>Severability</u>**. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws, then the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby and in lieu of such clause or provision, there shall be added as a part of this Lease a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.8 **<u>Amendments; Binding Effect; No Electronic Records</u>**. This Lease may not be amended except by instrument in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless such waiver is in writing signed by Landlord, and no custom or practice which may evolve between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof shall waive or diminish the right of Landlord to insist upon the performance by Tenant in strict accordance with the terms hereof. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree not to conduct the transactions or communications contemplated by this Lease by electronic means, except by electronic signatures as specifically set forth in Section 25.9; nor shall the use of the phrase "in writing" or the word "written" be construed to include electronic communications except by electronic signatures as specifically set forth in Section 25.9. The terms and conditions contained in this Lease shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and upon their respective successors in interest and legal representatives, except as otherwise herein expressly provided. This Lease is for the sole benefit of Landlord and Tenant, and, other than Landlord's Mortgagee, no third party shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.9 **<u>Counterparts; Electronic Signatures</u>**. This Lease may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall constitute one Lease. Execution copies of this Lease may be delivered by facsimile or email, and the parties hereto agree to accept and be bound by facsimile signatures or scanned signatures transmitted via email hereto, which signatures shall be considered as original signatures with the transmitted Lease having the same binding effect as an original signature on an original Lease. At the request of either party, any facsimile document or scanned document transmitted via email is to be re-executed in original form by the party who executed the original facsimile document or scanned document. Neither party may raise the use of a facsimile machine or scanned document or the fact that any signature was transmitted through the use of a facsimile machine or email as a defense to the enforcement of this Lease. In addition, the parties agree that this Lease may be signed using electronic signature technology (e.g., via Docusign or similar electronic signature technology), and that such signed electronic record shall be valid and as effective to bind the party so signing as a paper copy bearing such party's hand-written signature. The parties further consent and agree that (1) to the extent a party signs this document using electronic signature technology, by clicking "sign", such party is signing this Lease electronically, and (2) the electronic signatures appearing on this Lease shall be treated, for purposes of validity, enforceability and admissibility, the same as hand written signatures

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.10 **<u>Quiet Enjoyment</u>**. Provided Tenant has performed all of its obligations hereunder, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term, without hindrance from Landlord or any party claiming by, through or under Landlord, but not otherwise, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and all matters of record as of the date of this Lease which are applicable to the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for any hindrance, interruption, interference or disturbance by other tenants or third persons, nor shall Tenant be released from any obligations under this Lease because of such hindrance, interruption, interference or disturbance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.11 **<u>No Merger</u>**. There shall be no merger of the leasehold estate hereby created with the fee estate in the Premises or any part thereof if the same person acquires or holds, directly or indirectly, this Lease or any interest in this Lease and the fee estate in the leasehold Premises or any interest in such fee estate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.12 **<u>No Offer</u>**. The submission of this Lease to Tenant shall not be construed as an offer, and Tenant shall not have any rights under this Lease unless Landlord executes a copy of this Lease and delivers it to Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.13 **<u>Entire Agreement</u>**. This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all verbal statements and prior writings relating thereto. Except for those set forth in this Lease, no representations, warranties, or agreements have been made by Landlord or Tenant to the other with respect to this Lease or the obligations of Landlord or Tenant in connection therewith. Except as otherwise provided herein, no subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease shall be binding unless in writing and signed by Landlord and Tenant. The normal rule of construction that any ambiguities be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply to the interpretation of this Lease or any exhibits or amendments hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.14 **<u>Waivers</u>**. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TENANT (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS AND SUBTENANTS) AND LANDLORD EACH, AFTER CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL, KNOWINGLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION OR TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO. Tenant hereby waives and agrees not to pursue or claim any excuse or offset to Tenant's obligations under this Lease based on the doctrines of impossibility, impracticality, frustration of contract, frustration of purpose, or other similar legal principles. IF THE JURY WAIVER PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 25.14 ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, THEN THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS SHALL APPLY. IT IS THE DESIRE AND INTENTION OF THE PARTIES TO AGREE UPON A MECHANISM AND PROCEDURE UNDER WHICH CONTROVERSIES AND DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR RELATED TO THE PREMISES WILL BE RESOLVED IN A PROMPT AND EXPEDITIOUS MANNER. ACCORDINGLY, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO ACTIONS FOR UNLAWFUL OR FORCIBLE DETAINER OR WITH RESPECT TO THE PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OF ATTACHMENT, ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER (AND/OR AGAINST ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATED ENTITIES) ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, TENANT'S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES AND/OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE HEARD AND RESOLVED BY A REFEREE UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, SECTIONS 638 — 645.1, INCLUSIVE (AS SAME MAY BE AMENDED, OR ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE(S) THERETO) (THE "**REFEREE SECTIONS**"). ANY FEE TO INITIATE THE JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROCEEDINGS AND ALL FEES CHARGED AND COSTS INCURRED BY THE REFEREE SHALL BE PAID BY THE PARTY INITIATING SUCH PROCEDURE (EXCEPT THAT IF A REPORTER IS REQUESTED BY EITHER PARTY, THEN A REPORTER SHALL BE PRESENT AT ALL PROCEEDINGS WHERE REQUESTED AND THE FEES OF SUCH REPORTER – EXCEPT FOR COPIES ORDERED BY THE OTHER PARTIES – SHALL BE BORNE BY THE PARTY REQUESTING THE REPORTER); PROVIDED HOWEVER, THAT ALLOCATION OF THE COSTS AND FEES, INCLUDING ANY INITIATION FEE, OF SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE ULTIMATELY DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ATTORNEYS' FEES PROVISIONS OF THIS LEASE. THE VENUE OF THE PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE IN THE COUNTY IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED. WITHIN 10 DAYS OF RECEIPT BY ANY PARTY OF A WRITTEN REQUEST TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 25.14, THE PARTIES SHALL AGREE UPON A SINGLE REFEREE WHO SHALL TRY ALL ISSUES, WHETHER OF FACT OR LAW, AND REPORT A FINDING AND JUDGMENT ON SUCH ISSUES AS REQUIRED BY THE REFEREE SECTIONS. IF THE PARTIES ARE UNABLE TO AGREE UPON A REFEREE WITHIN SUCH 10 DAY PERIOD, THEN ANY PARTY MAY THEREAFTER FILE A LAWSUIT IN THE COUNTY IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED FOR THE PURPOSE OF APPOINTMENT OF A REFEREE UNDER THE REFEREE SECTIONS. IF THE REFEREE IS APPOINTED BY THE COURT, THE REFEREE SHALL BE A NEUTRAL AND IMPARTIAL RETIRED JUDGE WITH SUBSTANTIAL EXPERIENCE IN THE RELEVANT MATTERS TO BE DETERMINED, FROM JAMS/ENDISPUTE, INC., THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION OR SIMILAR MEDIATION/ARBITRATION ENTITY. THE PROPOSED REFEREE MAY BE CHALLENGED BY ANY PARTY FOR ANY OF THE GROUNDS LISTED IN THE REFEREE SECTIONS. THE REFEREE SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO DECIDE ALL ISSUES OF FACT AND LAW AND REPORT HIS OR HER DECISION ON SUCH ISSUES, AND TO ISSUE ALL RECOGNIZED REMEDIES AVAILABLE AT LAW OR IN EQUITY FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION THAT IS BEFORE THE REFEREE, INCLUDING AN AWARD OF ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS LEASE. THE REFEREE SHALL NOT, HOWEVER, HAVE THE POWER TO AWARD PUNITIVE DAMAGES, NOR ANY OTHER DAMAGES WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED BY THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS OF THIS LEASE, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RECOVER ANY SUCH DAMAGES. THE PARTIES SHALL BE ENTITLED TO CONDUCT ALL DISCOVERY AS PROVIDED IN THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, AND THE REFEREE SHALL OVERSEE DISCOVERY AND MAY ENFORCE ALL DISCOVERY ORDERS IN THE SAME MANNER AS ANY TRIAL COURT JUDGE, WITH RIGHTS TO REGULATE DISCOVERY AND TO ISSUE AND ENFORCE SUBPOENAS, PROTECTIVE ORDERS AND OTHER LIMITATIONS ON DISCOVERY AVAILABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW. THE REFERENCE PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA LAW (INCLUDING THE RULES OF EVIDENCE), AND IN ALL REGARDS, THE REFEREE SHALL FOLLOW CALIFORNIA LAW APPLICABLE AT THE TIME OF THE REFERENCE PROCEEDING. THE PARTIES SHALL PROMPTLY AND DILIGENTLY COOPERATE WITH ONE ANOTHER AND THE REFEREE, AND SHALL PERFORM SUCH ACTS AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO OBTAIN A PROMPT AND EXPEDITIOUS RESOLUTION OF THE DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 25.14. IN THIS REGARD, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE PARTIES AND THE REFEREE SHALL USE BEST EFFORTS TO ENSURE THAT (A) DISCOVERY BE CONDUCTED FOR A PERIOD NO LONGER THAN 6 MONTHS FROM THE DATE THE REFEREE IS APPOINTED, EXCLUDING MOTIONS REGARDING DISCOVERY, AND (B) A TRIAL DATE BE SET WITHIN 9 MONTHS OF THE DATE THE REFEREE IS APPOINTED. IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 644 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, THE DECISION OF THE REFEREE UPON THE WHOLE ISSUE MUST STAND AS THE DECISION OF THE COURT, AND UPON THE FILING OF THE STATEMENT OF DECISION WITH THE CLERK OF THE COURT, OR WITH THE JUDGE IF THERE IS NO CLERK, JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED THEREON IN THE SAME MANNER AS IF THE ACTION HAD BEEN TRIED BY THE COURT. ANY DECISION OF THE REFEREE AND/OR JUDGMENT OR OTHER ORDER ENTERED THEREON SHALL BE APPEALABLE TO THE SAME EXTENT AND IN THE SAME MANNER THAT SUCH DECISION, JUDGMENT, OR ORDER WOULD BE APPEALABLE IF RENDERED BY A JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT IN WHICH VENUE IS PROPER HEREUNDER. THE REFEREE SHALL IN HIS/HER STATEMENT OF DECISION SET FORTH HIS/HER FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW. THE PARTIES INTEND THIS GENERAL REFERENCE AGREEMENT TO BE SPECIFICALLY ENFORCEABLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 25.14 SHALL PREJUDICE THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO OBTAIN PROVISIONAL RELIEF OR OTHER EQUITABLE REMEDIES FROM A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION AS SHALL OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE UNDER THE CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE AND/OR APPLICABLE COURT RULES.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.15 **<u>Governing Law; Jurisdiction</u>**. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Premises are located. The proper place of venue to enforce this Lease will be the county or district in which the Premises are located. In any legal proceeding regarding this Lease, including enforcement of any judgments, Tenant irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of law in the county or district in which the Premises are located; (b) accepts the venue of such courts and waives and agrees not to plead any objection thereto; and (c) agrees that (1) service of process may be effected at the address specified for Tenant in the Lease, or at such other address of which Landlord has been properly notified in writing, and (2) nothing herein will affect Landlord's right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.16 **<u>Recording</u>**. Tenant shall not record this Lease or any memorandum of this Lease without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld or denied in the sole and absolute discretion of Landlord, and any recordation by Tenant shall be a material breach of this Lease. Tenant grants to Landlord a power of attorney to execute and record a release releasing any such recorded instrument of record that was recorded without the prior written consent of Landlord, which power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.17 **<u>Water or Mold Notification</u>**. To the extent Tenant or its agents or employees discover any water leakage, water damage or mold in or about the Premises or Project, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord thereof in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.18 **<u>Joint and Several Liability</u>**. If Tenant consists of more than one party (or if Tenant permits any other party to occupy the Premises), each such party shall be jointly and severally liable for Tenant's obligations under this Lease. All unperformed obligations of Tenant hereunder not fully performed at the end of the Term shall survive the end of the Term, including payment obligations with respect to Rent and all obligations concerning the condition and repair of the Premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.19 **<u>Financial Reports</u>**. If Tenant is an entity that is domiciled in the United States of America, and whose securities are funded through a public securities exchange subject to regulation by the United States of America publicly traded over exchanges based in the United States and whose financial statements are readily available at no cost to Landlord, the terms of this Section 25.19 shall not apply. Otherwise, within 10 days after Landlord's request, Tenant will furnish Tenant's most recent audited financial statements (including any notes to them) to Landlord, or, if no such audited statements have been prepared, such other financial statements (and notes to them) as may have been prepared by an independent certified public accountant or, failing those, Tenant's internally prepared financial statements. Tenant will discuss its financial statements with Landlord and, following the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, will give Landlord access to Tenant's books and records in order to enable Landlord to verify the financial statements. Landlord will not disclose any aspect of Tenant's financial statements that Tenant designates to Landlord as confidential except (a) to Landlord's Mortgagee or prospective mortgagees or purchasers of the Building, (b) in litigation between Landlord and Tenant, and/or (c) if required by Law or court order. Tenant shall not be required to deliver the financial statements required under this Section 25.19 more than once in any 12-month period unless requested by Landlord's Mortgagee, partner or investor or a prospective partner or investor, or buyer or lender of the Building or an Event of Default occurs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.21 **<u>Telecommunications</u>**. Tenant and its telecommunications companies, including local exchange telecommunications companies and alternative access vendor services companies, shall have no right of access to and within the Building, for the installation and operation of telecommunications systems, including voice, video, data, Internet, and any other services provided over wire, fiber optic, microwave, wireless, and any other transmission systems ("**<u>Telecommunications Services</u>**"), for part or all of Tenant's telecommunications within the Building and from the Building to any other location unless Landlord has previously reviewed and approved all plans, specifications and contracts pertaining to telecommunication service entry points, and any documents to which Landlord is a party or which may encumber the Project, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. All providers of Telecommunications Services shall be required to comply with the rules and regulations of the Project, applicable Laws and Landlord's policies and practices for the Project, and shall be required, at Landlord's election, to enter into a license agreement with Landlord to confirm and approve items such as, without limitation, the proposed location (and labeling requirements) of wiring, cabling, fiber lines, points of demarcation, entry into the Project, insurance requirements and the like, all at no cost to Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not be required to provide or arrange for any Telecommunications Services and that Landlord shall have no liability to any Tenant Party in connection with the installation, operation or maintenance of Telecommunications Services or any equipment or facilities relating thereto. Tenant, at its cost and for its own account, shall be solely responsible for obtaining all Telecommunications Services.

Tenant acknowledges that the terms and conditions of this Lease are to remain confidential for Landlord's benefit, and may not be disclosed by Tenant to anyone, by any manner or means, directly or indirectly, without Landlord's prior written consent; however, Tenant may disclose the terms and conditions of this Lease to its attorneys, accountants, employees and existing or prospective financial partners, or if required by Law or court order, provided all parties to whom Tenant is permitted hereunder to disclose such terms and conditions are advised by Tenant of the confidential nature of such terms and conditions and agree to maintain the confidentiality thereof (in each case, prior to disclosure). Tenant shall be liable for any unauthorized disclosures made in violation of this Section by Tenant or by any entity or individual to whom the terms of and conditions of this Lease were disclosed or made available by Tenant. The consent by Landlord to any disclosures shall not be deemed to be a waiver on the part of Landlord of any prohibition against any future disclosure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.24 **<u>Hazardous Materials</u>**. The term "**<u>Hazardous Materials</u>**" means any hazardous, explosive, radioactive or toxic substance, material or waste which is or becomes regulated by any local, state or federal governmental authority or agency, including, without limitation, any material or substance which is (i) defined or listed as a "hazardous waste," "extremely hazardous waste," "restricted hazardous waste," "hazardous substance," "hazardous material," "pollutant" or "contaminant" under any Law, (ii) petroleum or petroleum derivative, (iii) a flammable explosive, (iv) a radioactive material or waste, (v) a polychlorinated biphenyl, (vi) asbestos or asbestos containing material, (vii) infectious waste, or (viii) a carcinogen. No Tenant Party shall use, generate, store, manufacture, transport (collectively, "**<u>Handle</u>**") or Release (defined below), or permit the use, generation, storage, manufacture, transport or Release of Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises or the Project without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. As used herein, "**<u>Release</u>**" means depositing, spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping or disposing. If any Tenant Party breaches its obligations under this Section **Error! Reference source not found.**, Landlord may immediately take any and all action reasonably appropriate to remedy the same, including taking all appropriate action to clean up or remediate any contamination resulting from such Tenant Party's use, generation, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord and its representatives and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, causes of action, suits, judgments, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and cost of clean up and remediation) arising from any Tenant Party's failure to comply with the provisions of this Section **Error! Reference source not found.**. Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable times and if Landlord determines in good faith that Tenant may not be in compliance with this Section 25.24 to inspect the Premises and to conduct tests and investigations to determine whether Tenant is in compliance with the foregoing provisions, the costs of all such inspections, tests and investigations to be borne by Tenant. Neither the consent by Landlord to the use, generation, storage, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all laws pertaining to Hazardous Materials shall excuse Tenant from Tenant's obligation of indemnification pursuant to this Section 25.24. The indemnity contained in this Section 25.24 is intended to allocate responsibility between Landlord and Tenant under environmental Laws and shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease. Prior to Tenant (and at least five (5) days prior to any assignee or any subtenant of Tenant) taking possession of any part of the Premises, and on each anniversary of the Term Commencement Date (each such date is hereinafter referred to as a "**<u>Disclosure Date</u>**"), until and including the first Disclosure Date occurring after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall disclose to Landlord in writing the names and amounts of all Hazardous Materials, or any combination thereof, which were Handled on, in, under or about the Premises or Project for the twelve (12) month period prior to such Disclosure Date, or which Tenant intends to Handle on, under or about the Premises during the twelve (12) month period following the Disclosure Date by executing and delivering to Landlord a "Hazardous Materials Questionnaire", in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (as updated and modified by Landlord, from time to time). Tenant's disclosure obligations under this Section 25.24 shall include a requirement that, to the extent any information contained in a Hazardous Materials Questionnaire previously delivered by Tenant shall become inaccurate in any material respect, Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord a new updated Hazardous Materials Questionnaire. If any Hazardous Materials shall be released into the environment comprising or surrounding the Project in connection with the acts, omissions or operations of Tenant or any Tenant Party, Tenant shall at its sole expense promptly prepare a remediation plan therefor consistent with applicable Laws and recommended industry practices (and approved by Landlord and all governmental agencies having jurisdiction) to fully remediate such release, and thereafter shall prosecute the remediation plan so approved to completion with all reasonable diligence and to the satisfaction of Landlord and applicable governmental agencies. If any Hazardous Materials are Handled in, under, on or about the Premises during the Term, or if Landlord determines in good faith that any release of any Hazardous Material or violation of Law may have occurred in, on, under or about the Premises during the Term, Landlord may require Tenant to at Tenant's sole expense, (i) retain a qualified environmental consultant reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to conduct a reasonable investigation (an "**<u>Environmental Assessment</u>**") of a nature and scope reasonably approved in writing in advance by Landlord with respect to the existence of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Premises and providing a review of all Hazardous Materials activities of Tenant and the Tenant Parties, and (ii) provide to Landlord a reasonably detailed, written report, prepared in accordance with the institutional real estate standards, of the Environmental Assessment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.25 **List of Exhibits**. All exhibits and attachments attached hereto are incorporated herein by this reference.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.27 **<u>Common Area Amenities</u>**. In addition to the Premises, so long as Tenant leases from Landlord any portions of the Project, Tenant shall have a right to the nonexclusive use of the common areas of the Project that may be, from time to time, be designated by Landlord for the use, enjoyment and benefit of all tenants of the Project and their employees (collectively, the "**<u>Common Area Amenities</u>**"), it being expressly understood and agreed that Landlord shall not be obligated to provide any Common Area Amenities, unless otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Lease. From time to time, as each of the Common Area Amenities are made available to Tenant, if any, the number of rentable square feet in the Premises shall increase to reflect Tenant's Proportionate Share of the rentable square feet attributable to the Common Area Amenities that are available at such time. As a condition to Tenant's right to use any Common Area Amenities, Landlord may, at its discretion, require Tenant and its employees, officers, directors, and partners to execute certain other documents, including, without limitation, a license agreement and a waiver of claims and indemnity agreement, prior to granting such individuals access to certain of the Common Area Amenities. Landlord shall have the right to remove or alter the size and location of such Common Area Amenities and the type of equipment provided, and Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of any special services related to Tenant's use of the Common Area Amenities. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant's and any Tenant Party's use of the Common Area Amenities is voluntary and, in consideration of the use of the Common Area Amenities, shall be undertaken by Tenant and such Tenant Party at its sole risk. Neither Landlord nor Landlord's officers, directors, managers, servants, agents and/or employees (collectively, the "**<u>Released Parties</u>**") shall be liable for any claims, demands, injuries, damages, actions or causes of action whatsoever arising out of or connected with Tenant's and any Tenant Party's use of the Common Area Amenities and their facilities and services. **TENANT DOES HEREBY EXPRESSLY FOREVER WAIVE, RELEASE AND DISCHARGE THE RELEASED PARTIES FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM ALL SUCH CLAIMS, DEMANDS, INJURIES, DAMAGES, ACTIONS AND/OR CAUSES OF ACTION, INCLUDING LIABILITY FROM ALL ACTS OF ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE, INCLUDING SOLE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, ON THE PART OF THE RELEASED PARTIES. The waivers contained in this Section 25.27 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.**

In the event that Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that there is any risk that all or part of any Rent shall not qualify as "rents from real property" for the purposes of Sections 512(b)(3) or 856(d) of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, Tenant agrees (a) to cooperate with Landlord by entering into such amendment or amendments as Landlord deems necessary to qualify all Rents as "rents from real property," and (b) to permit an assignment of this Lease; provided, however, that any adjustments required pursuant to this Section 25.28 shall be made so as to produce the equivalent Rent (in economic terms) payable prior to such adjustment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.29 **<u>Cross Default</u>**. A default or event of default (beyond any applicable notice, grace and cure periods) under any other written agreement between Landlord or Landlord's Affiliate and Tenant shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease, and any Event of Default under this Lease shall constitute a default or event of default under such other written agreement between Landlord or Landlord's Affiliate and Tenant (without any obligation to give Tenant any notice or opportunity to cure period thereunder).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.30 **<u>Reserved Rights</u>**. This Lease does not grant any rights to light or air over or about the Project. Landlord excepts and reserves exclusively for itself the use of: (a) roofs, (b) telephone, electrical and janitorial closets, (c) equipment rooms, Building risers or similar areas that are used by Landlord for the provision of Building services, (d) rights to the land and improvements below the floor of the Premises, (e) the improvements and air rights above the ceiling of the Premises, (f) the improvements and air rights outside the demising walls of the Premises, (g) the areas within the Premises used for the installation of utility lines and other installations serving occupants of the Project, and (h) any other areas designated from time to time by Landlord as service areas of the Project.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26.1 **<u>Signage</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26.1.1 Tenant shall not place, install, affix, paint or maintain any signs, notices, graphics or banners whatsoever or any window decor which is visible in or from public view or corridors, the common areas or the exterior of the Premises or the Building, in or on any exterior window or window fronting upon any common areas or service area without Landlord's prior written approval which Landlord shall have the right to withhold in its absolute and sole discretion; provided that Tenant's name shall be included in any Building-standard door and directory signage, if any, in accordance with Landlord's Building signage program, including without limitation, payment by Tenant of any fee charged by Landlord for maintaining such signage, which fee shall constitute Additional Rent hereunder. Any installation of signs, notices, graphics or banners on or about the Premises or Project approved by Landlord shall be subject to any Laws and to any other requirements imposed by Landlord. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall remove all such signs or graphics by the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease. Such installations and removals shall be made in such manner as to avoid injury to or defacement of the Premises, Building or Project and any other improvements contained therein, and Tenant shall repair any injury or defacement including without limitation discoloration caused by such installation or removal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26.2 **<u>Generator.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26.2.1 Tenant, subject to Landlord's review and approval of Tenant's plans therefore, shall have the right to install a 500 kilowatt supplemental generator (the "**<u>Generator</u>**") to provide emergency additional electrical capacity to the Premises during the Term. The Generator shall be placed at the first two (2) stalls nearest to the grade level door or another mutually agreed upon location and made a part hereof (the "**<u>Generator Area</u>**"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant's right to install the Generator shall be subject to Landlord's approval of the manner in which the Generator is installed, the manner in which any fuel pipe is installed, the manner in which any ventilation and exhaust systems are installed, the manner in which any cables are run to and from the Generator to the Premises and the measures that will be taken to eliminate any vibrations or sound disturbances from the operation of the Generator, including, without limitation, any necessary two (2) hour rated enclosures or sound installation. Landlord shall have the right to require an acceptable enclosure to hide or disguise the existence of the Generator and to minimize any adverse effect that the installation of the Generator may have on the appearance of the Building and Project. Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining all necessary governmental and regulatory approvals and for the cost of installing, operating, maintaining and removing of the Generator. Tenant shall not install or operate the Generator until Tenant has obtained and submitted to Landlord copies of all required governmental permits, licenses and authorizations necessary for the installation and operation of the Generator. In addition to, and without limiting Tenant's obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall comply with all applicable environmental and fire prevention Laws pertaining to Tenant's use of the Generator Area. Tenant shall also be responsible for the cost of all utilities consumed in the operation of the Generator. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Tenant does not install the Generator on or before the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, or if Tenant, after installation, removes the Generator from the Generator Area for reasons other than the repair and replacement of the Generator, Tenant's right to install and maintain the Generator and to use the Generator Area shall be null and void.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26.2.2 Tenant shall be responsible for assuring that the installation, maintenance, operation and removal of the Generator shall in no way damage any portion of the Building or Project. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, the Generator and all appurtenances in the Generator Area shall be at the sole risk of Tenant, and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant if the Generator or any appurtenances installations are damaged for any reason. Tenant agrees to be responsible for any damage caused to the Building or Project in connection with the installation, maintenance, operation or removal of the Generator and, in accordance with the terms of Section 11.4 of this Lease, to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and its representatives and agents harmless from all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable architects' and attorneys' fees (if and to the extent permitted by Law), which may be imposed upon, incurred by, or asserted against Landlord or any of its representatives and agents in connection with the installation, maintenance, operation or removal of the Generator, including, without limitation, any environmental and Hazardous Materials claims. In addition to, and without limiting Tenant's obligations under this Lease, Tenant covenants and agrees that the installation and use of the Generator and appurtenances shall not adversely affect the insurance coverage for the Building. If for any reason, the installation or use of the Generator and/or the appurtenances shall result in an increase in the amount of the premiums for such coverage, then Tenant shall be liable for the full amount of any such increase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26.2.3 Tenant shall be responsible for the installation, operation, cleanliness, maintenance and removal of the Generator and appurtenances, all of which shall remain the personal property of Tenant, and shall be removed by Tenant at its own expense at the Expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal, including the patching of any holes to match, as closely as possible, the color surrounding the area where the Generator and appurtenances were attached. Such maintenance and operation shall be performed in a manner to avoid any unreasonable interference with any other tenants or Landlord. Tenant shall take the Generator Area "as is" in the condition in which the Generator Area is in as of the Commencement Date, without any obligation on the part of Landlord to prepare or construct the Generator Area for Tenant's use or occupancy. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord makes no warranties or representations to Tenant as to the suitability of the Generator Area for the installation and operation of the Generator. Tenant shall have no right to make any changes, alterations, additions, decorations or other improvements to the Generator Area without Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant agrees to maintain the Generator, including without limitation, any enclosure installed around the Generator in good condition and repair. Tenant shall be responsible for performing any maintenance and improvements to any enclosure surrounding the Generator so as to keep such enclosure in good condition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26.2.4 Tenant, upon prior notice to Landlord and subject to the rules and regulations enacted by Landlord, shall have access to the Generator and its surrounding area for the purpose of installing, repairing, maintaining and removing said Generator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26.2.5 Tenant shall only test the Generator before or after reasonable business hours and at a time mutually agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant in advance. Tenant shall be permitted to use the Generator Area solely for the maintenance and operation of the Generator, and the Generator and Generator Area are solely for the benefit of Tenant. All electricity generated by the Generator may only be consumed by Tenant in the Premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26.2.6 Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any services, including, without limitation, electric current, to the Generator Area.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26.2.7 Tenant shall have no right to sublet the Generator Area or to assign its interest hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26.2.8 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time during the Term Landlord determines in its sole but bona fide business judgement, that the Generator and/or any appurtenances interfere with the operations of the Building or the operations of any of the occupants of the Building, then Tenant shall, upon notice from Landlord, cease any further operation of the Generator. From and after such notice by Landlord, Tenant shall have no further right to operate the Generator unless and until Tenant shall have redesigned and modified the Generator and/or installations in a manner approved by Landlord, provided however, that Landlord's approval of such redesign and modification shall constitute the mere permission to operate the Generator, which permission shall in no event be construed to abrogate or diminish Landlord's rights or Tenant's obligations under this Section 26.3 or this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26.2.9 During the initial Term, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Landlord any Additional Rent or fee for the use of the Generator Area.

**FIRST AMENDMENT**

**THIS FIRST AMENDMENT** (this "**Amendment**") is made and entered into as of June 9, 2022, by and between **SCG SWIFT AVENUE INDUSTRIAL PARK, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company** ("**Landlord**"), and **FREENOME HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation** ("**Tenant**").

**RECITALS**

A. Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain Lease, dated March 25, 2022 (the "**Lease** "). Pursuant to the Lease, Landlord has leased
 to Tenant space currently containing approximately **19,900** rentable square feet (the "**Premises**") located at 345 Swift Avenue, South San Francisco, California, which is located in the building commonly known as Swift Avenue
 Industrial Park whose street address is 345-367 Swift Avenue, South San Francisco, California (the "**Building** ").

B. Tenant and Landlord mutually desire that the Lease be amended to correct certain scrivener's errors on and subject to the following terms and
 conditions.

**NOW, THEREFORE,** in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

1.  **<u>Amendment.</u>** Effective as of the date of this Amendment, Landlord and Tenant agree that the Lease shall be amended in accordance
 with the following terms and conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1 **Initial Liability Insurance Amount.** The Initial Liability Insurance Amount set forth in the Basic Lease Information of the Lease is
 hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

"$1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the annual aggregate in primary coverage, with an additional $4,000,000 in umbrella coverage."

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2 **Tenant's Insurance.** Section 11.1 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

"11.1 **<u>Tenant's Insurance</u>**. Effective as of the earlier of (a) the date Tenant enters or occupies the Premises, or (b) the Commencement Date, and continuing throughout the Term, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain the following insurance policies: (1) commercial general liability insurance (including property damage, bodily injury and personal injury coverage, contractual liability) in amounts of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the annual aggregate in primary coverage; and in the event property of Tenant's invitees or customers are kept in, or about the, Premises, Tenant shall maintain warehousemen's legal liability or bailee customers insurance for the full value of the property of such invitees or customers as determined by the warehouse contract between Tenant and its customer; and if the use and occupancy of the Premises include any activity or matter that is or may be excluded from coverage under a commercial general liability policy [e.g., the sale, service or consumption of alcoholic beverages], Tenant shall obtain such endorsements to the commercial general liability policy or otherwise obtain insurance to insure all liability arising from such activity or matter [including liquor liability, if applicable] in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably require), insuring Tenant (and naming as additional insureds Landlord, Landlord's property management company, Landlord's asset management company and, if requested in writing by Landlord, Landlord's Mortgagee), against all liability for injury to or death of a person or persons or damage to property arising from the use and occupancy of the Premises and (without implying any consent by Landlord to the installation thereof) the installation, operation, maintenance, repair or removal of Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment, subject to all terms, conditions and exclusions and to the extent such obligations are insurable and commercially reasonable, (2) cause of loss-special risk form (formerly "all-risk") or its equivalent insurance (including, but not limited to, sprinkler leakage, ordinance and law, sewer back-up, pipe burst, wind-driven rain, water leakage, windstorm and collapse coverage) covering the full value of all furniture, trade fixtures, equipment and personal property (including property of Tenant or property of others under Tenant's care, custody, and control), alterations and improvements and betterments in the Premises or otherwise placed in the Project by or on behalf of a Tenant Party (including Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment), naming Landlord and Landlord's Mortgagee as additional loss payees as their interests may appear, (3) contractual liability insurance sufficient to cover Tenant's indemnity obligations hereunder (but only if such contractual liability insurance is not already included in Tenant's commercial general liability insurance policy), (4) employers' liability insurance of at least $1,000,000, (5) commercial auto liability insurance (if applicable) covering automobiles owned, hired or used by Tenant in carrying on its business with limits not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident, insuring Tenant (and naming as additional insureds Landlord, Landlord's property management company, Landlord's asset management company and, if requested in writing by Landlord, Landlord's Mortgagee), (6) workers' compensation insurance as required by the state in which the Premises is located and in amounts as may be required by applicable statute and shall include a waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord, (7) business interruption insurance with a limit representing loss of at least approximately 6 months of income, and (8) Umbrella or Excess Liability Insurance with limits of $4,000,000 per occurrence and $4,000,000 in the aggregate providing coverage over commercial general liability, automobile liability and employers liability required above.

Tenant's insurance shall be primary and non-contributory when any policy issued to Landlord provides duplicate or similar coverage, and in such circumstance Landlord's policy will be excess over Tenant's policy. The limits and types of insurance maintained by Tenant shall not limit Tenant's liability under this Lease. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord certificates of such insurance and such other evidence satisfactory to Landlord of the maintenance of all insurance coverages required hereunder at least ten days prior to the earlier of the Commencement Date or the date Tenant enters or occupies the Premises (in any event, within ten days of the effective date of coverage), and at least 15 days prior to each renewal of said insurance, and Tenant shall obtain a written obligation on the part of each insurance company to notify Landlord at least 30 days before cancellation or a material change of any such insurance policies; provided, however, that in the event that Tenant's insurance carrier will not provide such notice to Landlord, then Tenant must provide such written notice to Landlord within the time frames set forth above. All such insurance policies shall be issued by companies with an A.M. Best rating of A:VIII or better. Acceptance by Landlord of delivery of any certificates of insurance does not constitute approval or agreement by Landlord that the insurance requirements of this section have been met, and failure of Landlord to identify a deficiency from evidence provided will not be construed as a waiver of Tenant's obligation to maintain such insurance."

------

2.  **<u>Miscellaneous.</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1 This Amendment sets forth the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein. There have been no additional
 oral or written representations or agreements. Under no circumstances shall Tenant be entitled to any rent abatement, improvement allowance, leasehold improvements, or other work to the Premises, or any similar economic incentives that may have
 been provided Tenant in connection with entering into the Lease, unless specifically set forth in this Amendment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2 Except as herein modified or amended, the provisions, conditions and terms of the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
 In the case of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Lease and this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment shall govern and control. The capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the same definitions as set forth in the
 Lease to the extent that such capitalized terms are defined therein and not redefined in this Amendment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3 Submission of this Amendment by Landlord is not an offer to enter into this Amendment but rather is a solicitation for such an offer by
 Tenant. Landlord shall not be bound by this Amendment until Landlord has executed and delivered the same to Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4 Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938, Landlord hereby notifies Tenant that as of the date of this Amendment, the Premises have not
 undergone inspection by a "Certified Access Specialist" ()"**CASp**") to determine whether the Premises meet all applicable construction-related accessibility standards under California Civil Code Section 55.53. Landlord hereby discloses
 pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938 as follows: "A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility
 standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for
 the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp
 inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises." The parties agree that Section 9 of Lease remains in full force and effect.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5 This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts
 shall constitute one Amendment. Execution copies of this Amendment may be delivered by facsimile or email, and the parties hereto agree to accept and be bound by facsimile signatures or scanned signatures transmitted via email hereto, which
 signatures shall be considered as original signatures with the transmitted Amendment having the same binding effect as an original signature on an original Amendment. At the request of either party, any facsimile document or scanned document
 transmitted via email is to be re-executed in original form by the party who executed the original facsimile document or scanned document. Neither party may raise the use of a facsimile machine or scanned document or the fact that any signature
 was transmitted through the use of a facsimile machine or email as a defense to the enforcement of this Amendment. In addition, the parties agree that this Amendment may be signed using
 electronic signature technology (e.g., via DocuSign or similar electronic signature technology), and that such signed electronic record shall be valid and as effective to bind the party so signing as a paper copy bearing such party's
 hand-written signature. The parties further consent and agree that (1) to the extent a party signs this document using electronic signature technology, by clicking "sign", such party is signing this Amendment electronically, and (2) the
 electronic signatures appearing on this Amendment shall be treated, for purposes of validity, enforceability and admissibility, the same as hand written signatures.

**LEASE OF THE PREMISES (AND OTHER ROOMS) DATED 23 OCTOBER 2019 AND MADE BETWEEN (1) MEDICITY NOTTINGHAM LIMITED AND (2) ONCIMMUNE LIMITED, AS VARIED AND PARTIALLY SURRENDERED BY A DEED OF SURRENDER OR PART AND DEED OF VARIATION DATED 3 JANUARY 2023 AND MADE BETWEEN (1) ONCIMMUNE LIMITED AND (2) BIOCITY HSRE-TRINITY PROPCO LIMITED ("LEASE")**

**THE LANDLORD AND TENANT ACT 1954 ("1954 ACT")**.

The provisions of ss. 24 to 28 of the 1954 Act are excluded in relation to the Lease. Accordingly, the Lease will come to an end on its contractual expiry date of 22 October 2024.

Whilst the negotiations for the grant of a new lease of the Premises are ongoing, BioCity HSRE-Trinity Propco Limited, the current landlord under the Lease, wishes to regularise the position at the Premises more fully and, to that end, is prepared to allow Freenome Limited to continue to remain in occupation of the Premises as a tenant at will on the terms set out below. However, this is strictly without prejudice to Freenome Limited's right to determine such a tenancy, being a tenancy at will, at any time.

Accordingly, BioCity HSRE-Trinity Propco Limited will permit Freenome Limited to occupy the Premises on the following terms ("**Agreement"**):

1. From and including 23 October 2024, BioCity HSRE-Trinity Propco Limited ()"**Landlord "**) lets and Freenome Limited ()"**Tenant "**) takes the Premises on a tenancy at will ()"**Tenancy at Will "**).

2. Save as set out in this Agreement, the terms of the Tenancy at Will shall be the same as those in
 the Lease as they apply to the Premises and insofar as they are not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and/or a tenancy at will.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. The Annual Rent (as such term is defined in the Lease) shall be payable from and including 23
 October 2024 on the same basis as the Lease save that the Annual Rent payable under this Tenancy at Will shall be £150,501.05 per annum exclusive of VAT.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. The deposit held by the Landlord under the provisions of clause 7 of the Lease (being £27,545.96)
 shall continue to be held by the Landlord as security for the Tenant's obligations in the Lease and this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the deposit shall be refundable at the end of this Tenancy at Will after deduction of the Landlord's
 costs of remedying any breach of the Tenant's covenants in the Lease or this Agreement or in paying to the Landlord any sums due under the terms of the Lease or this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. The Landlord and the Tenant agree that the Tenancy at Will is terminable at any time by either party
 and that neither the payment of nor any demand for the Annual Rent or other monies due under this Agreement nor the fact that the amount of Annual Rent or other monies may be calculated by reference to a period shall create or cause the Tenancy
 at Will to become a periodic tenancy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. The Tenancy at Will shall be granted on the understanding that the Tenant's occupation thereunder
 shall not be such as is protected by Part II of the 1954 Act and that, for the avoidance of doubt, on vacating the Premises, the Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation under section 37 of that 1954 Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. The Tenant shall not make any alterations or additions to the Premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. On termination of the Tenancy at Will:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1 the Landlord shall repay to the Tenant within 21 days any Annual Rent previously paid under this
 Agreement which relate to the period falling after the date of termination; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2 the Premises are to be returned in no worse condition than when occupation was taken by the Tenant
 (howsoever it was documented) and shall be returned free from chattels and any other tenant items, and in a clean, broom swept condition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. The parties agree that the existence, terms and effect of this Agreement shall be disregarded for
 the purposes of any dilapidations or other claim made by the Landlord against the Tenant for breach of any of the Tenant's obligations under the Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. Each party is to bear its own costs in relation to this Agreement, legal or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. The formation, existence, construction, performance, validity and all aspects whatsoever of this
 Agreement or of any term of this Agreement will be governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement. The
 parties irrevocably agree to submit to that jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. If any clause or part of this Agreement is found by any court, tribunal, administrative body or
 authority of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable then that provision will, to the extent required, be severed from this Agreement and will be ineffective without, as far as is possible, modifying any other clause or
 part of this Agreement and this will not affect any other provisions of this Agreement which will remain in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. The signatories to this Agreement are duly authorised by the respective party on whose behalf they
 sign to sign this Agreement and bind the respective party to the terms of it.

Customer's purchase of Supplied Products under this Agreement confers upon Customer, on a unit-by-unit basis, only the use rights under Core IP, to the extent expressly stated in stated in section 3.1. No rights are conferred upon Customer for any Illumina Intellectual Property Rights pertaining to or covering features or uses of the Supplied Product that are particular to specific fields of use or specific applications.

------

4.2 **Other IP**. Customer's intended use of the Supplied Products may require that it obtain license or other rights to third-party Intellectual Property Rights, including Other IP, or Illumina Intellectual Property Rights not included under the Core IP, to use Supplied Products for any and all applications for Freenome Use without infringement or misuse of such Intellectual Property Rights. Subject to and without limiting section 10.1, it is Customer's responsibility to ensure that it has or obtains rights to all Intellectual Property Rights that are required for Customer to use the Supplied Products for Freenome Use without infringement or misuse of such Intellectual Property Rights. If either Party becomes aware of any Illumina Intellectual Property Rights other than Core IP that the Party understands to be related to Freenome's Field of Use, that Party shall provide written notice to the other Party. If and to the extent the Parties determine it is necessary to do so, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to extended rights under such Illumina Intellectual Property on mutually acceptable financial and other terms.

4.3 **All Rights Reserved**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a. The rights conferred upon Customer under this Agreement are limited to those use rights expressly conferred in section 3.1 (Authorized Uses of Supplied Products) upon purchase of each unit of Supplied Products under this Agreement, and Customer agrees that any use of Supplied Products outside the scope of Freenome's Field of Use is a prohibited and unauthorized use. All prohibited and unauthorized uses by the Customer or authorized by the Customer that infringe Illumina Intellectual Property Rights are expressly excluded from Freenome Use. Illumina, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (and their respective successors and assigns), retains all and does not waive the right to enforce Illumina Intellectual Property Rights and bring suit or proceedings against any person or entity, including Customer (and its Affiliates, and their respective successors, and assigns), with respect to any and all prohibited or unauthorized uses of Supplied Product or Existing Hardware as set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2. Customer agrees that actual knowledge by Illumina, Illumina's Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, employees, or agents that Customer is using Supplied Product in any unauthorized or unpermitted manner**,** does not (i) waive or otherwise limit any rights under this Agreement or at Law that Illumina, Illumina's Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns, have to address the unauthorized or unpermitted use, or (ii) grant Customer a license or other right to any Illumina Intellectual Property Right, whether expressly or by implication, estoppel, or otherwise. There are no implied rights under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Except as expressly stated in section 3.1 (Authorized Uses of Supplied Products), no sublicense or other right or license under any Illumina Intellectual Property Rights is or are granted, expressly, by implication, by estoppel or otherwise, under this Agreement. Supplied Products and Existing Hardware may be covered by one or more patents. Illumina does not represent, warrant, covenant or undertake that use of Supplied Products for any or all applications will not infringe or be a misuse of any Illumina Intellectual Property Rights or third-party Intellectual Property Rights, including Other IP, and expressly disclaims and excludes any statement or implication otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by Law. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Customer assumes all risk associated with not obtaining any required rights to Other IP or any Illumina Intellectual Property Rights required but not expressly stated in section 3.1 (Authorized Uses of Supplied Products).

4.4 **No Interruption of Supply.** In no event will Illumina have the right to terminate this Agreement, or cease supplying or shipping Supplied Product, as a result of or on the basis of, in whole or in part, any alleged claim of infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights of Illumina or any of its Affiliates (including without limitation GRAIL).

**V. REGULATORY**

5.1 **Research Supplied Products.** The Supplied Products are labeled "For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures" or with a similar labeling statement. Customer acknowledges that (i) the Supplied Products have not been approved, cleared, or licensed by the United States Food and Drug Administration or any other regulatory entity whether foreign or domestic for any specific intended use, whether research, commercial, diagnostic, or otherwise, and (ii) Customer must ensure it has any Regulatory Approvals that are necessary for Customer's intended uses of the Supplied Product.

5.2 Illumina intends that its products be used only in a lawful and ethical manner. Customer agrees to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and ethical guidelines promulgated by established national and international ethical bodies when using, maintaining, and disposing of the Supplied Products and the information generated from the use of the Supplied Products.

------

5.3 **Regulatory Appropriate Product**. If Illumina [\*\*\*] determines that it is proper from a regulatory standpoint to discontinue sale of any Supplied Product to Customer, then Illumina will promptly notify Customer thereof. If thereafter, Illumina makes available for purchase by Customer a product or combination of products that is more appropriate for use by Customer within the Freenome Field of Use, then Customer agrees to transition to the use of that product or combination of products and cease using the applicable Supplied Product within [\*\*\*] after that product or combination of products is available for purchase by Customer, or (y) such other time period as the Parties may agree upon in good faith in writing (unless, in each case of the foregoing (x) and (y), a shorter time period for transition is required by Law, in which case, within that shorter time period). The price for any replacement products shall be provided in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, section 2.2(d) and section 2.2(e). In any such event, the Parties will work together in good faith to coordinate such transition and, if necessary, to modify other terms and conditions of this Agreement as necessary to accommodate the same.

**VI. PURCHASING; FORECASTS; PAYMENT; DELIVERY; LIFECYCLE**

6.1 **Purchase Orders; Acceptance; Cancellation**. Customer shall order Supplied Product using written purchase orders submitted under and in accordance with this Agreement ("**Purchase Orders**"). Purchase Orders shall state, at a minimum, the Illumina catalogue number, the Illumina provided Quotation number, the quantity ordered, price, requested delivery date, and address for delivery, and shall reference this Agreement. All Purchase Orders shall be sent to the attention of Illumina Customer Solutions or to any other person or department designated by Illumina in writing. Acceptance of a Purchase Order occurs when Illumina (or an Illumina Affiliate) provides Customer a sales order confirmation. Purchase Orders submitted in accordance with this Agreement may be rejected by Illumina only if Illumina does not have sufficient supply of the applicable Supplied Product to fulfill the order or if the Purchase Order is not in accordance with standard lead times for the applicable Supplied Product. In the event that Illumina intends to reject any Purchase Order it shall do so within [\*\*\*] of the receipt of the applicable Purchase Order and state the basis for such rejection; provided that in the event of any shortage of supply, the provisions of section 6.4 shall apply. Subject to Illumina's written consent and in its sole discretion, Customer may cancel or modify accepted Purchase Orders only if Customer submits a new Purchase Order for Supplied Product of an equivalent value to the cancelled amount for delivery within the same time period in which the original product was to be delivered. Such new Purchase Order shall be submitted at least [\*\*\*] days prior to the scheduled shipment date of the prior Purchase Order.

6.2 **Invoices; Payment; Taxes**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. **Invoices and Payment**. Illumina (or an Illumina Affiliate) shall issue invoices upon shipment of Supplied Products. All invoices are payable as of the date of invoice and payments by Customer on such invoices are due within [\*\*\*] after the date of the invoice. Without limiting any remedies available to Illumina, any amounts not paid when due under this Agreement will accrue interest at the rate of [\*\*\*], or the maximum amount allowed by Law, if lower. In the event of nonpayment, Illumina shall have the right to take any action allowed in Law in addition to any rights or remedies under this Agreement, including without limitation, suspend performance, including shipment and acceptance of Purchase Orders until all payments are made current. Each Purchase Order is a separate, independent transaction under this Agreement, and all amounts due under any other Purchase Orders or other transactions with Illumina shall be paid by the Customer in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding. Customer agrees to pay for Supplied Products supplied hereunder in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. **Taxes**. Customer agrees that any applicable sales, use, excise, VAT (value added tax), GST (goods and services tax), withholding, and other taxes will be calculated based on both the tax rates in effect on the date of shipment and the ship to address for the Product. All prices and other amounts payable to Illumina hereunder are exclusive of and are payable without withholding or deduction for taxes, GST, VAT, customs duties, tariffs, charges or otherwise as required by Law from time to time upon the sale of the Supplied Product or provision of services, all of which will be added to the purchase price or subsequently invoiced to the Customer to gross up any payment in respect of which withholding or deduction is required to be made.

6.3 **Shipping Terms; Title and Risk of Loss; Ship Date Changes**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. **Shipping; Title, Risk of Loss**. Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing, all shipments are made DAP (Incoterms 2020) at Customer's address for delivery, provided that Customer is responsible for freight and insurance which will be added to the invoice and paid by Customer. In [\*\*\*] cases, title (except for [\*\*\*]) and [\*\*\*] is made available at such address.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. **Ship Date Changes**. Customer may, no later than [\*\*\*] prior to the then-scheduled delivery date, request staggered delivery of Supplied Products (which delivery shall take place solely within the same quarter) set forth in a confirmed Purchase Order or any shipment schedule, and Illumina shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate such staggered delivery dates. Customer may request staggered delivery (solely within a [\*\*\*]), of an amount that is no greater or less than [\*\*\*] of the amount of Supplied Products scheduled for delivery in such a given quarter, as set forth in a confirmed Purchase Order or any shipment schedule. Illumina will use commercially reasonable efforts to accept the staggered delivery dates for the relevant Supplied Products.

6.4 **Short Supply.** In the event Supplied Products are in short supply so that Illumina cannot meet its obligations under an accepted Purchase Order, Illumina shall notify Customer in writing of such circumstances as soon as reasonably possible, including the underlying reasons for such shortage and the date such inability is expected to end. In the event of the foregoing, Illumina will allocate the existing supply in an equitable manner among its customers (including Affiliates) based on expiring lots, and which shall not favor Affiliates over other customers. In all events, Illumina agrees not to prioritize its Affiliates that are similarly situated to Customer over Customer and not to unreasonably prioritize similarly situated customers over Customer.

6.5 **Specification Changes / Discontinuations**. Subject to Sections 5.3 and 11.2, as well as Section 3.e. of Appendix A, Illumina agrees to use good faith efforts to notify Customer in advance of any (a) change to the Specifications for any Supplied Product, and (b) discontinuation of any Supplied Product, at least [\*\*\*] in advance for any Supplied Product that is Hardware or Software or a Consumable, but in the case of (a) and (b) in no event later than the customary advance notice provided to similarly situated customers, which, for the avoidance of doubt, advance notice shall not favor Affiliates of Illumina. Any such notice shall describe in detail the proposed change to the Specifications or date of discontinuation. In any such case, Illumina shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to accept Purchase orders for such Supplied Products during such period reasonably intended by Customer to meet its needs regardless of its prior forecasting and (ii) (at no additional cost to Customer) reasonably assist Customer, including providing information available to Illumina or its Affiliates, necessary or useful to update any Regulatory Approvals or other regulatory filing with respect to Customer's use of any such Supplied Product. Additionally, Illumina shall continue to provide service support (including spare parts) for any such Supplied Product that is Hardware or Software in accordance with its customary practices, which practices shall not favor Affiliates of Illumina. For clarity, any modified or replacement product to or for a discontinued Supplied Product hereunder shall be added to Exhibit A as a Supplied Product on the terms and conditions herein, provided that discounts shall be determined at the time of purchase (but shall be consistent with Section 2.2(d) and Section 2.2(e)).

6.6 **Product Line Evolution** In the event that Illumina improves, develops, and commercializes new technologies for any of the Supplied Products which Customer purchases pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties agree to review the changes to such Supplied Products (example: [\*\*\*]) that may improve Customer's commercial product or service within the fields of use consistent with Illumina's customary practice for similarly situated customers. Any improved or new product offerings of the aforementioned shall be subject to Customer's evaluation and Illumina shall provide the same reasonable technical consultation to help Customer validate any new products as it customarily provides similarly situated customers.

**VII. WARRANTY**

7.1 **Warranty for Supplied Products**. All warranties are personal to Customer and may not be transferred or assigned to a third-party, including an Affiliate of Customer. All warranties for Hardware are specific to the Facility where such Hardware is originally installed by or on behalf of Illumina and do not transfer and are void if the Hardware is used at or moved to another facility, including moved to, between, or among Facilities of Customer, unless Illumina conducts such move. All warranties for Consumables are specific to the Facility to which it is originally shipped by or on behalf of Illumina and cannot be re-shipped, including re-shipments between or among Facilities of Customer. The warranties set forth in this Agreement only apply to units of Supplied Products purchased under this Agreement. Warranty for Existing Hardware is as stated in the original terms of sale. Without limiting Sections 7.1a or 7.1b, if Illumina develops an 'Advantage' or similar program for any Supplied Product, Customer will have the rights associated with such program for such Supplied Product(s) at no additional costs other than the purchase price for such enhanced Supplied Product.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. **Warranty for Consumables**. Illumina warrants, except as expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement, that Consumables, other than custom Consumables, will conform to their Specifications and Documentation until [\*\*\*] from the date of shipment from Illumina's manufacturing location, and [\*\*\*], but in either event, no later than [\*\*\*] from the date of shipment. To the extent that Illumina [\*\*\*], it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure [\*\*\*]. With respect to [\*\*\*], Illumina only warrants that [\*\*\*]. Illumina makes no warranty that custom Consumables will work as intended by Customer or for Customer's intended uses.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; b. **Warranty for Hardware**. Illumina warrants that Hardware, other than Upgraded Components, will conform to its Specifications and Documentation for a period of [\*\*\*] after its shipment date from Illumina unless the Hardware includes Illumina-provided installation (Illumina shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly complete such installation), in which case the warranty period begins on the [\*\*\*] or [\*\*\*] after the date the Illumina Hardware was delivered, whichever occurs first ("**Base Hardware Warranty**"). "**Upgraded Components**" means Illumina-provided components, modifications, or enhancements to Hardware provided pursuant to the Base Hardware warranty. Illumina warrants that Upgraded Components will conform to their Specifications for the [\*\*\*] of the Base Hardware Warranty or a period of [\*\*\*] from the date the Upgraded Components are installed. Upgraded Components do not extend the Base Hardware Warranty.

7.2 **Exclusions from Warranty Coverage**. The foregoing warranties in section 7.1 shall not apply to the extent a non-conformance is due to (a) abuse, misuse, neglect, negligence, accident, improper storage, or use contrary to the Documentation or Specifications (misuse includes use of a Consumable more than one time) , (b) repair or improper handling, installation or maintenance (other than if by or authorized in writing by Illumina personnel), (c) unauthorized modification, (d) an event of Force Majeure, (e) use with a third party's good not provided by Illumina (unless the applicable Documentation or Specifications expressly state such third party's good is for use with the Supplied Product), or (e) use that is an Excluded Use.

7.3 **Sole Remedy**. The following states Customer's sole remedy and Illumina's sole obligations under the foregoing warranties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a. **Consumables**. Illumina will repair or replace the non-conforming Consumable in its sole discretion. Repaired or replaced Consumables come with a warranty [\*\*\*]. In no event will the warranty for repaired or replaced Consumables [\*\*\*] from the date of shipment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. **Hardware**. Illumina will either repair or replace the non-conforming Hardware, choosing between the two options in its reasonable discretion. Hardware may be repaired or replaced with functionally equivalent, reconditioned, or new Hardware or components (if only a component of Hardware is non-conforming). If the Hardware is replaced in its entirety, or if only components are being repaired or replaced, the warranty period for the replacement Hardware is the longer of [\*\*\*] from the date of its shipment or the remaining period on the original Hardware warranty. Replaced or repaired components do not extend the original Hardware warranty period.

7.4 **Procedure**. In order to be eligible for repair or replacement under this warranty Customer must (a) promptly contact Illumina's customer support department to report the non-conformance, (b) cooperate with Illumina in the diagnosis of the non-conformance, and (c) return the Supplied Product, transportation charges prepaid (which will be reimbursed to Customer, in the event the non-conformance is determined by Illumina to be subject to the warranty), to Illumina following Illumina's instructions or, if agreed by Illumina, grant Illumina's authorized repair personnel access to this Supplied Product in order to confirm the non-conformance and make repairs.

7.5 **Third Party Goods**. Illumina has no warranty obligations with respect to any goods or software originating from a third party, including without limitation, any such goods or software supplied to Customer under this Agreement. Third-party goods or software are those that are labeled or branded with a third-party's name. The warranty for third-party goods or software, if any, is provided by the original manufacturer. Illumina will cooperate with Customer in filing any warranty claims with such third parties.

7.6 **Limited Warranties**. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND SUBJECT TO THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTIES FOR SUPPLIED PRODUCTS SET FORTH IN SECTION 7.1 AND 7.3 OF THIS AGREEMENT, ILLUMINA MAKES NO (AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL) WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, WITH RESPECT TO THE SUPPLIED PRODUCTS, OR ANY SERVICES PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR ARISING FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, ILLUMINA MAKES NO CLAIM, REPRESENTATION, OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND AS TO THE UTILITY OF THE SUPPLIED PRODUCTS FOR CUSTOMER'S INTENDED USES.

**VIII. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION**

8.1 **Confidential Information; Confidentiality**. The Parties acknowledge that a Party (the "**Recipient Party**") may have access to confidential or proprietary information ("**Confidential Information**") of the other Party (the "**Disclosing Party**") in connection with this Agreement. As used herein, Confidential Information of a Party includes any and all technical and non-technical information disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party, which may include, without limitation, proprietary and confidential information regarding: patents, patent applications, ideas, gene sequences, cell lines, samples, media, chemical compounds, assays, biological materials, techniques, sketches, drawings, works of authorship, models, inventions, know-how, processes, apparatuses, equipment, algorithms, software programs, software source documents, and formulae related to the current, future, and proposed products and services of the Disclosing Party, such as information concerning research, experimental work, development, design details and specifications, engineering, financial information, procurement requirements, purchasing, manufacturing, customer lists, investors, employees, business and contractual relationships, business forecasts, sales and merchandising, marketing plans and information regarding third parties. Confidential Information includes (a) any information of the Disclosing Party embodied in tangible material (such as documents, drawings, pictures, graphics, software, hardware, graphs, charts, or disks) and labeled as "Confidential" or with a similar legend, and (b) any oral or visual information disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party and designated as confidential at the time of disclosure and then reduced to writing, marked as "Confidential," and provided to the Receiving Party within [\*\*\*] of such disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a failure to mark documents as "Confidential" or to reduce oral/visual disclosures to writing will not preclude confidential treatment under this Agreement if such Confidential Information is disclosed in furtherance of this Agreement and would reasonably be considered confidential based upon the nature of the Confidential Information and the circumstances surrounding its disclosure. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of [\*\*\*] years after termination or expiration, the Recipient Party shall hold the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information in confidence using at least the degree of care that is used by the Recipient Party with respect to its own Confidential Information, but no less than reasonable care. Each Party will take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of, and avoid unauthorized use or disclosure of the other Party's Confidential Information. Each receiving Party shall immediately notify the disclosing Party upon discovery of any loss or unauthorized disclosure of the disclosing Party's Confidential Information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of confidentiality contained herein shall not apply to the extent the Party that received the information is able to demonstrate that either: (a) it was in possession of the information without an obligation of confidentiality prior to its receipt from the disclosing Party; (b) it independently developed the information; (c) it received the information lawfully from a third party without a corresponding breach of confidentiality obligations; or (d) the information was already publicly disclosed without wrongdoing by the receiving Party.

The confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 8.1 are in addition to those obligations set forth in Section 6.a. of Appendix A.

8.2 **Disclosure of Agreement**. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, neither Party may disclose this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including any financial terms thereof, and the subject matter of this Agreement to any third party (except to its advisors, including lawyers and auditors) without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that a Party may disclose this Agreement and its terms and conditions in late stage diligence in connection with a potential financing or Change of Control (as defined in Section 11.2d) to the extent necessary. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Party acknowledges and agrees that each Party (and its Affiliates), as healthcare companies, may (i) if required by a contractual obligation to a third party disclose the existence of this Agreement, or (ii) if required by applicable Law, disclose this Agreement, its terms, its subject matter, including financial terms (including without limitation, Illumina's compliance with Sunshine Act). Furthermore, a Recipient Party may disclose certain Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, without violating the obligations of this Agreement, to the extent the disclosure is required by a valid order of a court or other governmental body having jurisdiction, *provided that* the Recipient Party provides the Disclosing Party with reasonable prior written notice of such disclosure and makes a reasonable effort to obtain, or to assist the Disclosing Party in obtaining, a protective order preventing or limiting the disclosure and/or requiring that the Confidential Information so disclosed be used only for the purposes for which the law or regulation required, or for which the order was issued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Illumina's [\*\*\*]; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Illumina's failure to comply with applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; d. **Indemnification by Customer**. Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Illumina, its officers, directors, representatives, and employees (Illumina and each of the foregoing an "**Illumina Indemnitee**"), against any Claim including without limitation, claims relating to or arising out of personal injury or death, and claims relating to or arising out of infringement of a third party's Intellectual Property Rights (except to the extent arising out of an Illumina Infringement Claim), to the extent a Claim results from, relates to, or arises out of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) any action described in any Excluded Claim, including without limitation, [\*\*\*],

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Customer's failure to [\*\*\*], and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Customer's [\*\*\*], including without limitation, [\*\*\*].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e. **Conditions of Indemnification**. The Parties' indemnification obligations under this Section 10.1 are subject to the Party seeking indemnification (i) notifying the other, indemnifying Party promptly in writing of the claim, (ii) giving indemnifying Party exclusive control and authority over the defense of such claim, (iii) not admitting infringement of any Intellectual Property Right without prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, (iv) not entering into any settlement or compromise of any such action without the indemnifying Party's prior written consent, and (v) providing all [\*\*\*] to the indemnifying Party that the indemnifying Party requests and ensuring that its officers, directors, representatives and employees and other indemnitees likewise provide assistance (provided that indemnifying Party reimburses the indemnified Party(ies) for its/their [\*\*\*] providing such assistance). An indemnifying Party will not enter into or otherwise consent to an adverse judgment or order, or make any admission as to liability or fault that would adversely affect the indemnified party, or settle a dispute without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party, which consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f. **Third-Party Goods**. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Illumina shall have no indemnification obligations with respect to any goods or software originating from a third party, including without limitation, any such goods or software supplied to Customer under this Agreement. Third-party goods are those that are labeled or branded with a third-party's name. Customer's sole right to indemnification with respect to such third-party goods or software shall be pursuant to the original manufacturer's or original licensor's indemnity, if any, to Customer, to the extent provided by the original manufacturer or original licensor.

10.2 **Insurance**. Each Party shall maintain appropriate commercial general liability insurance sufficient to cover its interest or potential liabilities hereunder, in an amount equal to at least [\*\*\*]. Each Party shall provide to the other, upon request, a copy of its insurance certificate evidencing such insurance.

**XI. TERM AND TERMINATION**

11.1 **Term**. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and terminate on August 18, 2033 unless otherwise terminated early as provided hereunder or extended by the agreement of the Parties. The period from the Effective Date to the date the Agreement terminates or expires is the "**Term**." Illumina cannot terminate this Supply Agreement for convenience during the Term.

11.2 **Early Termination**. Without limiting any other rights of termination expressly provided in this Agreement or under Law, this Agreement may be terminated early as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. **Breach of Provision**. If either Party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within [\*\*\*] after receiving written notice of the breach, the non-breaching Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the other Party; provided, however, that if such breach is curable, but not reasonably curable within such [\*\*\*] period, and the breaching Party is using commercially reasonable efforts to cure the breach, then such cure period will be extended to not longer than [\*\*\*]. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement may not be terminated based solely on a claim relating to infringement of any Illumina Intellectual Property Rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. **Bankruptcy and Insolvency**. A Party may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice, if the other Party becomes the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy, for winding up of that Party, or any proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, administrative receivership, administration liquidation or company voluntary arrangement or scheme of arrangement with its creditors that is not dismissed or set aside within [\*\*\*]. In the event of any insolvency proceeding commenced by or against Customer, Illumina shall be entitled to cancel any Purchase Order then outstanding and not accept any further Purchase Order until bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is resolved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. **Termination for Regulatory Standards**. In the event that either Party is notified by a regulatory agency or government body, including without limitation the FDA or any foreign equivalent, or [\*\*\*], that its performance under this Agreement is illegal or violates any Law, then each Party has the right to terminate the full Agreement or the part(s) of the Agreement negatively affected by such ruling, upon [\*\*\*] prior [\*\*\*] to the other Party and Illumina has the right to cease supplying the affected Supplied Product immediately.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. **Termination for Change in Control**. (i) Customer shall promptly notify Illumina in writing if it undergoes any Change in Control with a Sequencing Products Company including the name of the Sequencing Products Company. Illumina shall have a [\*\*\*] period, that begins on the date of such Change in Control and ends on the date that is the later of [\*\*\*] after the Change in Control or [\*\*\*] after receipt of notice of the Change in Control, to terminate the Agreement by written notice, unless prior to the Change in Control, Customer notified Illumina of the planned Change in Control (including the name of the parties to the transaction) and Illumina agreed in writing to not exercise its right of termination set forth herein. Illumina agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold or delay its agreement to waive exercise of its right of termination. (ii) Termination pursuant to this section 11.2(d) shall become effective, on the date that is [\*\*\*] after the effective date of the Change of Control (iii) "**Change in Control**" will occur when: (A) any person or entity or group of persons or entities becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the issued share capital, or voting rights in, Customer or any Affiliate of Customer that controls Customer; (B) any person or entity or group of persons or entities obtains the direct or indirect ability or power to direct or cause the direction of management policies of such other entity or otherwise direct the affairs of such other entity, whether through ownership of the voting securities of such other entity, by contract, or otherwise; or (C) the board of directors (or similar governing body), or if applicable the stockholders, of Customer or any Affiliate that controls Customer, as the case may be, approves the transfer, sale, or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of Customer or Affiliate that controls Customer in one transaction or a series of related transactions and (iv) "**Sequencing Products Company**" means a third party that is developing or commercializing hardware equipment and consumables for sale to end user customers for use in genetic sequencing analysis (whether for research, clinical or other applications). By way of a non-limiting example, a third party that develops sequencing platform products for such third party's internal use in connection with the provision of clinical services would not be considered a Sequencing Products Company for purposes of this Agreement.

------

11.3 **Right to Cease Delivery**. In addition to any other remedies available to Illumina under this Agreement or at Law, Illumina reserves the right to cease shipping Supplied Product immediately to Customer if Customer (a) uses the Supplied Product in breach of Section 3.1 (Authorized Uses of Supplied Products) or Section 3.2 (Limitations and Unauthorized Uses) of this Agreement, (e) provides notice to Illumina in accordance with Section 11.2(c).

All definitions, all outstanding payment obligations, section 3.2 (Limitations and Unauthorized Uses), Article IV (Intellectual Property Rights), Sections 5.1 (Research Supplied Products), 5.3 (Regulatory Appropriate Product), non-cancellation of Purchase Orders under Section 6.1 (Purchase Orders; Acceptance; Cancellation), title and risk of loss under Section 6.3 (Shipping Terms; Title and Risk of Loss; Ship Date Changes), Articles VII (Warranty), VIII (Confidential Information), IX (Limitations of Liability; Disclaimers; Representations), X (Indemnification; Insurance), Section 11.4 (Survival of Obligations), XII (Additional Terms and Conditions), and sections 6, 7, and 8 of the terms in Appendix A shall survive termination or expiration of the Agreement. With respect to Freenome Use Rights in Section 3.1, Customer has the right to use the units of Consumables supplied under this Agreement with Hardware until the expiration date of those Consumables. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any liability or obligation that accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration nor preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement, nor prejudice either Party's right to obtain performance of any obligation.

**XII. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS**

**** 

<br> 12.1 **Governing Law; Jurisdiction**. This Agreement, its interpretation, and the performance of the Parties shall be governed by the laws of (i) the State of California, U.S.A., if Customer is located in the United States or (ii) the laws of the country where the Illumina entity is located, if Customer is not located in the United States.

If any provision or subsection of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the Parties, and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect. The failure or delay of either Party to exercise any right or remedy provided herein or to require any performance of any term of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver, and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy provided herein, or the waiver by either Party of any breach of this Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent exercise or enforcement of, or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of, the same or any other term of this Agreement. No waiver of any right, condition, or breach of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by the Party who has the right to waive the right, condition or breach and delivered to the other Party.

#### APPENDIX A
1. DEFINITIONS

"**Certain Sequencing Consumables**" means those consumables intended by Illumina to be used to perform a sequencing process on Illumina's NextSeq, NextSeqDx and NovaSeq instruments and any future sequencing hardware launched by Illumina or its Affiliates and includes core consumables that are (i) commercialized or otherwise made available by Illumina to customers or Affiliates of Illumina and (ii) intended by Illumina to be used to perform a sequencing process on any such system. Certain Sequencing Consumables do not include products that were at the "end of life" or "end of sale" or were announced (before January 1, 2021) to customers as a planned "end of life" or "end of sale". Certain Sequencing Consumables are limited to products that are shipped to and used in the United States.

"**Certain Supplied Product(s)**" means Illumina's NextSeq, NextSeqDx and NovaSeq instruments, and any future sequencing instruments launched by Illumina or its Affiliates, or Certain Sequencing Consumables, that are purchased by Customer for any Freenome Use pursuant to the Agreement. Certain Supplied Products do not include products that were at the "end of life" or "end of sale" or were announced (before January 1, 2021) to customers as a planned "end of life" or "end of sale". Certain Supplied Products are limited to products that are shipped to and used in the United States.

"**Equivalent**" means, with respect to the comparison of Customer to another customer, that (a) the aggregate volume of all Certain Supplied Products purchased by such other customer from Illumina in the immediately preceding year (measured in U.S. dollars) is not more than 10% greater than the volume purchased by Customer in prior year, (b) such other customer is a For-Profit Entity, and (c) such other customer is not currently receiving Grandfathered Pricing.

"**Grandfathered Pricing**" means any pricing (either under a quote of duration longer than 30 days or a supply agreement) that is operative for a customer for use of the Certain Supplied Products as of the time that the Transaction closed, provided that this pricing is for ongoing, ordinary course purchases of Certain Supplied Products.

"**Pre-Release Sequencing Product**" means Illumina sequencing hardware or Certain Sequencing Consumables that are not available for purchase in Illumina's product catalogue. Such sequencing hardware or Certain Sequencing Consumables shall include any re-designed or modified products made available to any For-Profit Entity or to GRAIL that optimize, in any material respect, a product's interoperability, capabilities, or performance.

"**Short Term Project**" means a project or circumstance giving rise to a discrete purchase of Certain Sequencing Consumables outside of ongoing ordinary course of purchases made by a For-Profit Entity. The duration of a Short Term Project is no more than two years.

"**Volume-Based Net Price**" means the actual list price of a Certain Supplied Product less the applicable discount for a customer's volume under a volume-based discount schedule.

2. TERM

The terms included in Appendix A to this Agreement shall be effective until August 18, 2033 ("Appendix A Term").

3. ACCESS TO SUPPLIED PRODUCTS

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. **Access to Services.** Customer shall have access to the same product services and support services for purchase relating to the Certain Supplied Products to which GRAIL or any For-Profit Entity has access, or which Customer had access before the Transaction. For such services, Customer shall have access to the same volume-based pricing that GRAIL has access to for the equivalent level of service, or to which Customer had access before the transaction, at the Customer's option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. **Access to Certain Supplied Products.** Customer shall have access to Certain Supplied Products for purchase that GRAIL or any For-Profit Entity has access within five (5) days of when GRAIL or such For-Profit Entity, as applicable, is offered such access (if not earlier) for purchase.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. **Access to Pre-Release Sequencing Products.** Customer shall have access for purchase to any Pre-Release Sequencing Product to which GRAIL, or any For-Profit Entity is offered access within five (5) days of when GRAIL or such For-Profit Entity, as applicable, is offered such access (if not earlier), and for the same categories of uses, specifically: (i) feedback to Illumina for development of NGS products, including through alpha or beta testing; (ii) for clinical trials; (iii) for clinical validation; (iv) for pre-commercial test development not relating to clinical trials; or (v) for a commercialized product. Customer's purchase of any Pre-Release Sequencing Product is subject to the pricing terms in this Appendix A. This provision does not apply to Pre-Release Sequencing Products that are developed by Illumina for a specific For-Profit Entity pursuant to a development agreement under Section 4.d below with such For-Profit Entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. **Development Agreement.** Illumina shall enter into, upon Customer request, a separate development agreement with Customer on commercially reasonable terms, relating to the design or modification of any Certain Supplied Product, in a manner that optimizes interoperability with Customer's tests, including, without limitation, capabilities, performance, speed, efficiency, cost, convenience, accuracy, specificity, precision, ease of use and user experience.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e. **No Obsolescence.** Illumina shall not discontinue any Certain Supplied Product so long as Customer continues to purchase that Certain Supplied Product. Illumina may discontinue a Certain Supplied Product that Customer has not purchased in more than one year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f. **Access to Information.** Customer shall have access to the same information about final product specifications of any new Certain Supplied Product, any new version of a Certain Supplied Product or any Pre-Release Sequencing Product within five (5) days of when GRAIL is provided such information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g. **GRAIL Purchases and Services.** Illumina shall publish, on the "Oncology Contract Terms" website, (i) the Certain Supplied Products, by SKU, that GRAIL is purchasing; (ii) the service plans, by SKU, that GRAIL is purchasing; and (iii) the pricing grid for both products and services under which GRAIL is purchasing Certain Supplied Products and services. To the extent necessary, Illumina shall update this website within five (5) days of entry of any purchase order for Certain Supplied Products or any service contract relating to the Supplied Products by GRAIL.

4. PRICING

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. **Universal Pricing**. Customer shall receive the Volume-Based Net Price for each Certain Supplied Product in accordance with Appendix 1. The universal pricing grid in Appendix 1 contains all currently available universal pricing, including list prices and volume-based discount tiers, for currently available Certain Supplied Products, and such Appendix 1 will be updated as additional pricing tiers or new Certain Supplied Products (including new versions of existing Certain Supplied Products) become available.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. **No Price Increases**. The inflation-adjusted (based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing Index in the Producer Price Index ("PPI")) Volume Based Net Price (under Exhibit A) that Customer has access to for each Certain Supplied Product purchased under this Agreement shall not increase during the Term. To the extent Illumina's costs of goods sold for a Certain Supplied Product materially increase due to factors beyond Illumina's control, then the Volume-Based Net Price (under Exhibit A) may increase solely to reflect that cost increase and solely for the duration of that cost increase, and Illumina shall provide Customer with written notice of such price increase to the extent such notice is provided to similarly situated customers and shall in good faith share information related to such cost increase to the same extent Illumina shares such information with other similarly situated customers.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. **New Product Pricing.** To the extent that Illumina launches a new version of any Certain Supplied Product (e.g., a sequencing instrument of similar throughput, or a Certain Sequencing Consumable of the same sequencing read length and similar number of sequencing reads per flow cell), the inflation- adjusted (based on the PPI) Volume-Based Net Price per gigabase of sequencing shall not be higher as compared to the Volume-Based Net Price of the prior version of the Certain Supplied Product, provided that the new version of the Certain Supplied Product does not result in any material improvements in performance or capability. In addition, by 2025, Illumina commits that, under this Agreement, the Volume-Based Net Price (under Appendix 1) to Customer per gigabase of sequencing using the highest throughput Illumina instrument then available, with the highest throughput, best-performance flow cell and kit then available, at full capacity, will be at least 43% lower than the inflation-adjusted (based on the PPI) Volume-Based Net Price (under Appendix 1 as of March 26, 2021), per gigabase of sequencing using the NovaSeq instrument, with an S4 300 flow cell, at full capacity. For the avoidance of doubt, holding volume constant, every customer (regardless of their application, or whether they are in oncology screening) using the highest throughput instrument and best-performance flow cell would observe by 2025 a reduction in price, under the Universal Pricing option, per gigabase of sequencing, of 43%. By way of example, for a customer at the highest volume discount tier today, the per gigabase sequencing price is $4, using a NovaSeq instrument with an S4 300 flow cell. Under this commitment, the per gigabase of sequencing price for that customer at the same volume discount tier in 2025 would be no greater than $2.26 (inflation-adjusted based on the PPI) using the highest throughput Illumina instrument then available, with the highest-throughput, best-performance flow cell and kit then available. To the extent Illumina's costs of goods sold for a Certain Supplied Product materially increase due to factors beyond Illumina's control, then the Volume-Based Net Price (under Appendix 1) may increase solely to reflect that cost increase and solely for the duration of that cost increase. The price for a new Certain Supplied Product or a new version of a materially improved Certain Supplied Product must be commercially reasonable. For any materially improved Certain Supplied Product, the price of the new version must take into account the value of the improvement. For avoidance of doubt, in any arbitration in which the price of a new version of a Supplied Product or a new Supplied Product is disputed, the arbitrator is empowered to determine the reasonableness of the price, including the value of the any improvement in performance or capability, and to require that Illumina charge a price that is commensurate with the improvement, as well as require any associated refunds to Customer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. **Equivalent Customer.** If Customer is not currently receiving Grandfathered Pricing for a Certain Supplied Product, Customer shall have access to Volume-Based Net Prices (under Appendix 1) for that Certain Supplied Product that are no less favorable (i.e., the same or better) than the Volume-Based Net Prices provided by Illumina to an Equivalent customer after the date the Transaction closes, for that Certain Supplied Product.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e. **GRAIL**. If Customer is not currently receiving Grandfathered Pricing for a Certain Supplied Product, Customer shall have access to Volume-Based Net Prices (under Appendix 1) for that Certain Supplied Product that are no less favorable (i.e., the same or better) than the Volume-Based Net Prices provided to GRAIL (including of transfer pricing, portability fees, and royalties), after the date the Transaction closes, for that Certain Supplied Product.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f. **Notification and Refund**. In the event that sections 4.d or 4.e are triggered, Illumina will notify Customer promptly, and no later than 45 days after the end of the applicable Illumina fiscal quarter, and the pricing made available to Customer for the applicable Certain Supplied Products will be reduced, effective as of the date on which GRAIL or the Equivalent customer received the triggering pricing, and Customer will receive such reduced pricing for the period of time that the triggering pricing is available to GRAIL or the Equivalent customer. With respect to units of Certain Supplied Product ordered and invoiced pursuant to a Purchase Order accepted after the date the triggering purchase was made, and for which Customer has paid the applicable invoice, Illumina will refund to Customer the difference between the pricing made available to Customer and the triggering pricing, multiplied by the number of affected units of Certain Supplied Product.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g. **Short Term Projects.** Customer shall have access to Short Term Project pricing that is no less favorable (*i.e.*, the same or better) than pricing extended to Equivalent customer or GRAIL for a Short Term Project of substantially similar size (*i.e.*, using between 90% and 110% of the volume of Certain Sequencing Consumables) and duration (*i.e.*, for a period of not more than 3 months longer than the other Short Term Project), provided that Customer has requested such pricing. If Illumina offers GRAIL pricing for a Short Term Project under this section, Illumina shall make Customer aware of such pricing promptly, but in no event later than 45 days after the end of the applicable Illumina fiscal quarter. No customer, including GRAIL, may receive Short Term Project pricing for more than two consecutive years. No customer, including GRAIL, may use Short Term Project pricing for ongoing ordinary course purchases, including for its standard commercial testing. Pricing for Short Term Projects will not be considered as triggering with respect to the obligations in sections 4.e and 4.f.

**5. PURCHASE ORDERS**

This Agreement is not contingent on any purchase commitments by Customer, nor does it affect Customer's existing unilateral right to terminate its supply relationship with Illumina at any time and for any reason. Written purchase orders submitted in accordance with this Agreement may be rejected by Illumina only if Illumina does not have sufficient supply of the applicable Certain Supplied Product to fulfill the order or if the Purchase Order is not in accordance with standard lead times for the applicable Certain Supplied Product.

------

**6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. **Confidentiality.** To the extent that Illumina may have access to confidential information ("**Confidential Information**") of Customer in connection with this Agreement or the provision of Certain Supplied Products by Illumina to Customer, Illumina shall in no event ever share such Confidential Information of Customer with GRAIL or any subsidiary of GRAIL, or any employees who work within GRAIL. Any Confidential Information received shall be used by Illumina only (i) to perform Illumina's product supply obligations, service or obligations under any agreement to Customer, or (ii) for performance of general business practices by non-technical functions (e.g., accounting, customer service) within Illumina, which functions shall have access to such information only on a need-to-know basis, and Illumina shall not use such Confidential Information for any other purpose, expressly including without limitation, for any of its own or Affiliates' internal purposes. All employees who may receive Confidential Information will be advised of these confidentiality obligations and use restrictions. Illumina shall continue its practice of maintaining all Confidential Information of Customer confidential as to any other entity, and otherwise in compliance with section 8 of the Supply Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. **GRAIL Firewall.** Illumina shall establish a firewall designed to prevent any GRAIL personnel (and any Illumina personnel carrying out activities with respect to the GRAIL business or products) from accessing any Confidential Information obtained by or made available to Illumina relating to Customer or its business or products, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

**7. TERMINATION**

Customer has a unilateral right to terminate its supply relationship with Illumina at any time and for any reason without termination liability upon ninety (90) days' prior written notice to Illumina, provided, however, that Customer shall honor all invoices, which invoices shall be issued upon shipment, for Certain Supplied Products ordered under a Purchase Order that was accepted by Illumina prior to the termination date. Illumina cannot terminate this Agreement for convenience during the Appendix A Term. If either party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within 60 days after receiving written notice of the breach, the non-breaching party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the other party; provided, however, that if such breach is curable, but not reasonably curable within such 60-day period, and the breaching Party is using commercially reasonable efforts to cure the breach, then such cure period will be extended to not longer than 180 days.

**8. ENFORCEMENT**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. **Audit.** Illumina agrees to conduct a bi-annual (every 6 months) audit by an independent third-party auditor selected by Illumina from among the "Big 4" accounting firms to audit Illumina's compliance with the commitments set forth herein in Appendix A. Illumina will provide Customers with a written report (with reasonable redactions) confirming compliance with the commitments set forth herein in Appendix A. Illumina shall provide cooperation, including access to necessary books and records, in support of any audit conducted. To the extent Customer has a good faith basis for alleging that Illumina is in breach of a commitment contained herein, Illumina shall engage an auditor to assess Customer's allegation separate from and in addition to Illumina's bi-annual audit. In addition to providing the written report, in the event of any finding of potential noncompliance with Illumina's performance under the Supply Agreement, Customer shall be notified within ten (10) days of identifying such a finding of potential noncompliance.

b. **Arbitration.** If any dispute arises from or relates to this Agreement, including as a result of a dispute over terms in a separate agreement that incorporates the terms herein (the "Dispute"), other than claims involving infringement, validity, or enforceability of Intellectual Property Rights (whether Illumina's or Customer's), or about the scope of Intellectual Property Rights in an agreement, Illumina and Customer (each a "party" and together the "parties") shall submit the matter to confidential binding arbitration to determine final terms and conditions of the supply agreement, or to settle the dispute as to the terms of a supply agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. Prior to submitting any matter to arbitration, Illumina and Customer shall each designate a contact having the proper authorization to resolve the Dispute in a final and binding fashion, who shall meet in person or by telephone for a period of thirty (30) days (or such other period of time as Illumina and the Customer shall mutually agree) in an attempt to resolve the Dispute in good faith.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA and as otherwise described in this Section 8.b.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. The location of the arbitration proceeding will be mutually agreed by the parties. In the event there is no agreement as to location, the arbitration proceeding will take place in New York City, NY.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv. Within five business days of the commencement of an arbitration, Customer and Illumina each shall furnish a legally binding writing to the other committing to maintain the confidentiality of the arbitration and of any written statement and discovery materials exchanged during the arbitration, and to limit the use of any such materials to the arbitration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;v. Upon written request by either party to the other party, the parties shall promptly negotiate in good faith to appoint an appropriate Arbitrator. If the parties are not able to agree within ten (10) days after the receipt by a party of the written request in the immediately preceding sentence, the AAA shall be responsible for selecting an Arbitrator with relevant experience related to the dispute of at least ten (10) years and to do so within fifteen (15) days of being approached by a party. The fees and costs of the Arbitrator and the AAA shall be shared equally (50%/50%) by the parties. Each party to the arbitration shall bear its own legal fees and expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vi. Within twenty (20) days after the designation of the Arbitrator, the parties shall each simultaneously submit to the Arbitrator and one another a written statement of their respective positions on such Dispute. Each party shall have fifteen (15) days from receipt of the other party's submission to submit a written response thereto. The Arbitrator shall have the right to meet with the parties, either alone or together, as necessary to make a determination. Further, the Arbitrator shall have the right to request information and materials and to require and facilitate discovery as it shall determine is appropriate in the circumstances, taking into account the needs of the parties and the desirability of making discovery expeditious and cost-effective determinations. In reaching a decision, the Arbitrator may consider only documents exchanged in discovery between the parties, testimony explaining the documents and the parties' written statements and other materials submitted and arguments made by counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vii. No later than thirty (30) days after the parties each submit their written statements to the Arbitrator, or as otherwise agreed by the parties, the Arbitrator shall make a determination by selecting the resolution proposed by one of the parties that as a whole is the most consistent with this Agreement and the most fair and reasonable to the parties in light of the totality of the circumstances. The Arbitrator shall provide the parties with a written statement setting forth the basis of the determination in connection therewith, provided that the Arbitrator shall not have the authority to alter any explicit provision of the Supply Agreement. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final, binding and conclusive, absent manifest error; judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Neither party may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless required by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;viii. The parties may, by agreement, modify any time periods specified in this Section 8.b. At any time after the commencement of arbitration, the parties may agree to suspend the arbitration, for periods not to exceed fourteen (14) days in the aggregate, to attempt to resolve their dispute through negotiation. The parties shall effectuate such suspension through a joint writing filed with the AAA. Either party may terminate the suspension at any time by filing with the AAA a writing calling for the arbitration to resume.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ix. If the Arbitrator determines that Illumina has breached any provision of the Supply Agreement, the Arbitrator may order any relief necessary to restore the status quo prior to Illumina's breach, including monetary and/or injunctive relief. In resolving any dispute under the Supply Agreement, the Arbitrator shall take into account, and the Arbitrator's decision shall reflect, that the purpose of the Supply Agreement is to allay any concerns relating to the Transaction, including that Illumina would disadvantage GRAIL's potential competitors after the Transaction by increasing their sequencing prices or by withholding access to Illumina's latest innovations in NGS.

#### ARTICLE 2

#### PRODUCT SUPPLY

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1 <u>Supply</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, NEB shall supply the Products to Purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2 <u>Forecasts</u>. Beginning no later than thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, and thereafter at least thirty (30) days before the first day of January, April, July and October of each Calendar Year, Purchaser shall provide NEB with a written forecast of Purchaser's estimated Product supply requirements for the following twelve (12) month period (each, a "**Rolling Forecast**"). If the supply requirements in the Rolling Forecast are beyond NEB's then-current production capacity, then NEB will notify the Purchaser of this within ten (10) days of receipt of the Rolling Forecast and has the right to reject the Rolling Forecast as proposed. If NEB rejects such Rolling Forecast, then within ten (10) days of NEB's notification of rejection, NEB and Purchaser shall meet to discuss how to best address this issue and agree on a revised Rolling Forecast. If the Parties cannot agree to a revised Rolling Forecast based on NEB's Inability to Supply, then the process and procedure outlined in subsections 2.6 and 2.7 shall be followed by the Parties. The [\*\*\*] months of each Rolling Forecast will be binding, and the [\*\*\*] months will be non-binding and serve only as a good-faith estimate to facilitate NEB's production scheduling.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3 <u>Purchase Orders</u>. Purchaser shall submit written purchase orders for Products to NEB (each, a "**Purchase Order**"). Each Purchase Order must specify the quantity of each Product to be delivered as well as the delivery destinations and delivery dates, *provided* that Purchaser's requested delivery dates must include lead times that are at least (a) forty-five (45) days from the date the Purchase Order was received by NEB; or (b) equal to the lead times for the particular Products as set out in <u>Exhibit A</u>, whichever is longer, unless otherwise agreed in writing by NEB. Each Purchase Order must meet the applicable minimum order quantity for each Product as set out in <u>Exhibit A</u> ("**Minimum Order Quantity**" or "**MOQ**"). Each Purchase Order will be binding on Purchaser and must be consistent with the binding portion of the Rolling Forecast. NEB will notify Purchaser within five (5) business days if the Purchase Order has been accepted; *provided* that NEB will not reject any Purchase Order so long as the quantity of Product ordered, cumulatively with all other Purchase Orders submitted to NEB for Product delivery during such calendar quarter, is equal to or less than the quantity of Product specified in the binding portion of the then-current Rolling Forecast and the Purchase Order is otherwise compliant with the requirements of this Section 2.3 and the Agreement. NEB shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fill Purchase Orders for any quantity of Product that, alone or cumulatively with other Purchase Orders submitted to NEB for Product delivery during such calendar quarter, exceeds the amount specified in the binding portion of the then-current Rolling Forecast. Any Purchaser-proposed changes in the quantity, method of shipment, schedule or place of delivery after the submission of a Purchase Order must be provided to NEB in writing and will only be effective if approved in writing by NEB.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4 <u>Minimum Purchase Requirements</u>. With respect to the first Calendar Year or portion thereof following the Effective Date, and each Calendar Year during the Term thereafter, NEB shall make available to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from NEB at least the quantity of each of the Products as set forth in <u>Exhibit A</u> (the "**Required Quantity**"). Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date and prior to the start of each full Calendar Year during the Term thereafter, the Required Quantity for each Product for the following Calendar Year shall be reviewed and may be revised by mutual agreement of the Parties. If any NEB products are added to <u>Exhibit A</u> after the Effective Date, the Required Quantity for such products shall be agreed by the Parties and identified in the amendment to add such products to the Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5 <u>Shipping</u>. NEB shall deliver the Products ordered by Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.3 to the location specified in the applicable Purchase Order within ten (10) business days (plus or minus) of the delivery dates specified in the applicable Purchase Order. All locations specified by Purchaser must be in the United States, unless otherwise approved in writing by NEB. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Purchaser shall be responsible for importing Products to any destination outside the United States. All shipments will be DAP named place of destination (Incoterms 2010). Title to Products will pass to Purchaser at the time of delivery of such Products to named place of destination ("**Delivery**"). NEB shall ship Products in accordance with any agreed-upon shipment specifications or as otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties and in accordance with this Agreement and the Quality Agreement. Purchaser shall pay for all Products that are delivered and have been accepted by Purchaser in compliance with any Purchase Order and the terms of this Agreement, including in particular, Section 4.4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6 <u>Inability to Supply</u>. In the event that NEB is unable to meet Purchaser's requirements for the Products as set out in the binding portion of the Rolling Forecast, or is unable, or reasonably anticipates that it will be unable, to deliver the quantities of Products in an accepted Purchase Order within the relevant delivery time period agreed to by the Parties in such Purchase Order (each an "**Inability to Supply**"), NEB shall notify Purchaser in writing and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to overcome the Inability to Supply in accordance with Section 2.7. Without limiting the foregoing, if there is an Inability to Supply due to a shortage of supply of Products, and such Inability to Supply continues for more than forty-five (45) days beyond the delivery time agreed upon in the Purchase Order, then Purchaser may cancel affected Purchase Orders without liability for said cancellation and will be relieved of its requirement to meet the binding portion of the Rolling Forecast for the affected Products.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7 [\*\*\*]

#### ARTICLE 3

#### PRICE AND PAYMENTS

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1 <u>Price</u>. The Initial Price for each Product sold under this Agreement is set forth in <u>Exhibit A</u>. The Parties agree to discuss in good faith adjusting the Price of a Product in the event of any substantial increase in NEB's documented cost with respect to: (a) labor associated with the manufacture of such Product, or (b) raw materials used in the manufacture of such Product that are purchased from Third Party suppliers. In addition, the effective Prices may be increased once annually by NEB by an amount that is [\*\*\*], but in each case only after NEB has provided Purchaser with at least ninety (90) days written notice before such Price increase goes into effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 <u>Invoice; Payment</u>. NEB will submit an invoice to Purchaser upon shipment of the Product ordered by Purchaser under this Agreement. The invoice will be sent to the address specified in the Purchase Order, and each invoice will state the Price for the Product in a given shipment, plus any taxes and other costs incident to the purchase or shipment to be paid by Purchaser. Purchaser shall make all payments by direct bank transfer to an account designed in NEB's invoice or by check payable to NEB. Purchaser shall pay in U.S. Dollars within thirty (30) days from the date of Purchaser's receipt of an invoice from NEB. If the actual quantity of Products ordered by Purchaser are less than those set forth in the binding portion of the Rolling Forecast, Purchaser nonetheless shall be obligated to pay for the amount of Products set forth in the binding portion of the Rolling Forecast at the price set forth in <u>Exhibit A</u>, which amount will be due and payable within thirty (30) days of Purchaser's receipt of NEB's invoice therefor. Purchaser must pay for the amount, if any, by which the Required Quantity for a Calendar Year exceeds the actual quantity of Products ordered by Purchaser for such Calendar Year, such quantity shortfalls to be paid for at the price set forth in <u>Exhibit A</u>, which amount will be due and payable within thirty (30) days of Purchaser's receipt of NEB's invoice therefor. NEB may charge interest for late payment at [\*\*\*] per month. Payment by Purchaser will not constitute acceptance of any shipment of Product or impair Purchaser's right of inspection and rejection under Article 4 below. In addition to any other remedy that NEB may have at law or equity, NEB may stop shipment of Products without violation of any other Section of this Agreement in the event that Purchaser's payment is past sixty (60) days due for any outstanding invoice. Upon payment in full of such outstanding invoices (including applied interest), NEB will commence shipment of Products hereunder.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 <u>Shipping Charges</u>. NEB will not charge freight for orders shipped within the United States when the total Purchase Order value is $350.00 or greater. NEB will charge $35.00 to cover the cost of freight for orders shipped within the United States when the total Purchase Order value is less than $350.00. Purchaser shall be responsible for all freight, shipping, handling fees, import duties, and related charges for orders shipped outside of the United States. All freight charges (and/or the absence thereof) are subject to change by NEB upon written notice to Purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 <u>Taxes</u>. All sales taxes, value added taxes, duties, levies, surcharges or other similar charges and any penalties levied thereon that relate to any amounts paid for the Products hereunder shall be the responsibility of, and paid by, Purchaser. If NEB is required to pay any of these amounts, Purchaser shall reimburse NEB therefor or provide NEB at the time the order is submitted an exemption certificate or other document acceptable to the authority that is imposing the payment.

#### ARTICLE 4

#### QUALITY; ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 <u>Quality Systems and Assurance</u>. The Quality Management System and standards employed by NEB to manage and monitor Product quality are based upon the latest effective versions of ISO9001 and ISO13485. Prior to each shipment of Product, NEB shall perform quality control procedures as set forth in this Agreement, including all applicable exhibits, and the Quality Agreement to ensure that the Product to be shipped conforms fully to the Specifications. Each shipment of Product must be accompanied by a certificate of analysis, or other such documentation as specified in <u>Exhibit B</u> and the Quality Agreement identifying the Product lot number(s) and describing all current requirements of the applicable Specifications and results of tests performed certifying that the quantities of each Product supplied have been manufactured, controlled and released according to the applicable Specifications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2 <u>Quality Agreement</u>. Within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Effective Date, NEB and Purchaser shall enter into a written agreement (the "**Quality Agreement**") outlining the Parties' respective obligations as they relate to quality of the Products supplied hereunder, which Quality Agreement shall be in accordance with the terms of <u>Exhibit D</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3 <u>Acceptance/Rejection</u>. Upon receipt of each quantity of Product and associated manufacturing and quality assurance documentation, Purchaser shall have a period of [\*\*\*] days from the date of Delivery ("**Acceptance Period**") to inspect the Products for patent defects or shortages and to analyze the Products (including performing any testing described in the Quality Agreement) to determine whether such Product meets the Specifications, Purchaser Instructions, and is otherwise in compliance with the Quality Agreement. Conforming Products may not be returned. The Products shall be deemed accepted by Purchaser unless Purchaser notifies NEB in writing at NEB's OEM & Customized Solutions customer service department at bulks@neb.comduring the Acceptance Period that the Product is damaged or does not otherwise comply with the applicable Specifications or other requirements as set forth in the Quality Agreement, or that the quantity of Product delivered is less than the amount specified in the relevant Purchase Order (each a "**Non-Conformity**"). For clarify, Purchaser's acceptance under this Section 4.3 does not affect its ability to make a valid warranty claim under Section 6.3. In the case of any Non-Conformity or warranty claim under Article 6, NEB's OEM & Customized Solutions customer service department will perform quality testing of returned Products in accordance with its standard testing procedures. If the results of the tests confirm the Non-Conformity, then NEB, at Purchaser's discretion, shall either (a) replace (or ship in the case of a shortfall) all properly rejected Product within the shortest commercially reasonable time possible at no additional cost to Purchaser (including transportation costs), or (b) issue a refund or credit for the purchase price (including any transportation paid by Purchaser) of such Product.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.4 <u>Disputes Regarding Conformance</u>. If NEB does not agree with Purchaser's determination regarding the Non-Conformity of a Product as set forth in Section 4.3, then NEB shall so notify Purchaser in writing within [\*\*\*] days of the later of NEB's receipt of Purchaser's notice of Non-Conformity and (if requested) provide a sample of the Product. NEB and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to resolve such disagreement as promptly as possible. Without limiting the foregoing, NEB and Purchaser will implement mutually acceptable testing procedures, as agreed to in the Quality Agreement, pursuant to which both NEB and Purchaser will re-test a sample of the disputed Product to determine whether the Product is Non-Conforming.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.5 <u>Changes to Specifications.</u> NEB will notify Purchaser at least [\*\*\*] days prior to implementing a material change to the Specifications for a Product. For purposes of this Section 4.5, a change to a Specification is material if it would (i) impact the performance characteristics, safety or efficacy of the Product, or (ii) require any notice, approval or filing with or by any governmental authority or regulatory body.

#### ARTICLE 5

#### RESTRICTIONS; DISCLAIMERS

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1 <u>Restricted Use</u>. Purchaser acknowledges that the Products may be subject to limited use statement or limited label license set forth in <u>Exhibit A</u>. Purchaser represents and warrants that it will not, directly or indirectly, perform compositional, structural, functional or other analysis of the Products, or undertake deconvolution or reverse engineering with respect to the Products.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2 <u>Disclaimers</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Products were designed and manufactured for research use. Purchaser acknowledges that the Products have not been tested by or for NEB for safety or efficacy. Purchaser is solely responsible (i) for confirming that the Products are suitable for Purchaser's intended purpose and use; (ii) for confirming that Purchaser's use complies with Applicable Laws and (iii) for obtaining all necessary approvals, licenses and permissions needed for such use. Purchaser represents and warrants to NEB that it will properly test, use, and, to the extent authorized, market any Products, and any final articles made from the Products, in accordance with all Applicable Laws. As requested and required by the FDA (or equivalent regulatory authorities outside of the United States) in order for Purchaser to obtain regulatory approval for Purchaser products manufactured using the Products ("**Purchaser Products**"), NEB will provide to the applicable regulatory authorities, data and information regarding the Products, but under no circumstances will NEB be required to disclose proprietary information that would compromise its intellectual property assets. NEB also agrees to use commercial reasonable efforts to provide reasonable support services (including rights of reference to regulatory submissions controlled by NEB) to satisfy Purchaser's regulatory requirements for the Purchaser Products, such services to be agreed upon from time to time by both Parties and compensated by Purchaser at NEB's then-current time and materials rates.

#### ARTICLE 6

#### REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1 <u>Mutual Representations and Warranties</u>. Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Party are within its power and authority and has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action; (b) this Agreement is legal and valid and the obligations binding upon such Party are enforceable by their terms; and (c) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Party does not conflict with any agreement, instrument or understanding, oral or written, to which it is a party or by which it may be bound.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2 <u>Purchaser Acknowledgement</u>. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as a representation or warranty that the specific use of the Products contemplated by Purchaser is or will be free from infringement of Third-Party Intellectual Property Rights. Purchaser acknowledges that it is the sole responsibility of Purchaser to determine whether it may be required to obtain any Third-Party Intellectual Property Rights depending upon the particular application in which the Product is used.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.3 <u>Product Warranty</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) NEB warrants that the Products (i) will be manufactured in accordance with the Specifications, Purchaser Instructions, Quality Agreement and Applicable Law, and (ii) will meet the applicable Specifications until the expiration dates specified on the Product packaging, or if not specified, then [\*\*\*] from the date that NEB delivers such Product to Purchaser. This warranty shall not be effective if NEB determines, in its sole discretion, that Purchaser has altered or misused the Product or has failed to use or store such Product in accordance with instructions furnished by NEB or the defects to the Product result from negligence, neglect or accident of any party other than NEB and its agents. NEB's sole and exclusive liability, and Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy with respect to Product that is defective or nonconforming, will be the replacement of such Product free of charge upon the return of such Product in accordance with NEB's instructions; *provided, however*, at Purchaser's discretion, NEB may instead provide a credit or refund in accordance with Section 4.3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) THE WARRANTY ABOVE EXTENDS ONLY TO PURCHASER, AND PURCHASER CANNOT TRANSFER IT EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SECTION 10.3. THE WARRANTY ABOVE IS EXCLUSIVE, AND NEB MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR REGARDING RESULTS OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE. IF NEB MANUFACTURES CUSTOM PRODUCTS FOR PURCHASER BASED ON PURCHASER'S INSTRUCTIONS, NEB SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCTS TO THE EXTENT ATTRIBUTABLE TO SUCH PURCHASER INSTRUCTIONS, PROVIDED SUCH PRODUCTS WERE OTHERWISE SUPPLIED BY NEB IN ACCORDANCE WITH PURCHASER'S INSTRUCTIONS, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE QUALITY AGREEMENT.

#### ARTICLE 7

#### INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1 <u>NEB's Indemnity</u>. NEB shall indemnify and defend Purchaser, its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against all liabilities, expenses, and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) (collectively, "**Damages**") arising out of any Third Party claim, complaint, suit, proceeding or cause of action against any of them (each, a "**Claim**") to the extent resulting from one or more of the following: (a) NEB's gross negligence or intentional misconduct; (b) NEB's breach of its representations and warranties under Section 6.1; (c) NEB's failure to comply with Appliable Law; [\*\*\*]; or (e) NEB's material breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NEB shall have no obligations under this Article 7 for any Damages to the extent that they are related to Purchaser's own negligence or willful misconduct or Purchaser's indemnity obligations set out in Section 7.2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2 <u>Purchaser's Indemnity</u>. Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend NEB, its directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any Damages arising out of any Third Party Claims to the extent resulting from one or more of the following: (a) Purchaser's gross negligence or intentional misconduct; (b) Purchaser's breach of its representations and warranties under Section 6.1; (c) Purchaser's material breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement; (d) NEB's manufacture or sale of a Product to the extent made under Purchaser's Instructions; or (e) any modification, use or resale of the Product and any final articles made therefrom by Purchaser or its distributors or customers, including without limitation, any Claims related to product liability or infringement of Third-Party Intellectual Property Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no obligations under this Article 7 for Damages to the extent that they are related to NEB's own negligence, willful misconduct, failure to comply with Applicable Law, or NEB's indemnity obligations set out in Section 7.1.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3 <u>Indemnification Procedure</u>. Any Party seeking indemnification under this Article 7 (the "**Indemnitee**") must promptly notify the indemnifying Party (the "**Indemnitor**") in writing of any possible Damages or Claim, and the Indemnitor shall assume and have exclusive control over the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnitor that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; *provided, however*, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to fully participate in any such action or proceeding and to retain its own (additional) counsel at its own expense (provided that the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnitee shall be paid by the Indemnitor only if representation of such Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceedings). Neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement agreement with any Third Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such settlement: (i) includes an unconditional release of Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such claim; (ii) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of Indemnitee; and (iii) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term (other than the fact of payment or the amount of such payment) that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of Indemnitee. The failure to deliver notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action, to the extent prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, will relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Article 7, but the failure to deliver notice to the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor of any obligations that it may have to any Indemnitee hereunder otherwise than as stated in this sentence. The Indemnitee shall, at the reasonable and verifiable out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnitor, cooperate with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any Claim covered by this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.4 <u>Limitation of Liability</u>. [\*\*\*]

#### ARTICLE 8

#### TERM AND TERMINATION

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1 <u>Term</u>. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for an initial term of five (5) years ("**Initial Term**"). Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive two (2) year periods (each, a "**Renewal Term**" and the Initial Term together with any and all applicable Renewal Terms, the "**Term**"), unless either Party notifies the other Party in writing at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the then-current Term that such Party does not wish to continue this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2 <u>Termination for Breach.</u> Either Party may terminate this Agreement if the other Party commits a material breach of any of its warranties, covenants, conditions, obligations or agreements contained herein, *provided* that such breach continues for a period of thirty (30) days after the non-breaching Party provides the breaching Party with written notice thereof. Such termination shall be immediately effective upon the non-breaching Party providing the breaching Party with further written notice of termination after the breaching Party failed to cure such breach within such thirty (30) day cure period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.3 <u>Termination for Bankruptcy</u>. Either Party may immediately terminate this Agreement, upon giving written notice to the other Party, in the event that the other Party is declared bankrupt by a court of competent jurisdiction or is the subject of any reorganization (other than a corporate reorganization effected in the ordinary course of business and not arising out of any insolvency) or winding up, receivership or dissolution, bankruptcy or liquidation proceeding, or any proceeding or action similar to one or more of the above, which proceeding is not dismissed within one hundred and twenty (120) days. The failure of either Party to give notice of termination upon obtaining knowledge of any such event shall not be interpreted as a waiver of such Party's rights under this Section 8.3, and such Party reserves the right to exercise any such rights at any time after the occurrence of any such event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.4 <u>Termination By Mutual Agreement; Termination for Convenience</u>. The Parties may terminate this Agreement for any reason at any time by mutual agreement if set forth in writing and executed by an authorized representative of each Party. Purchaser may terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason upon ninety (90) days' advance written notice to NEB.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.5 <u>Termination for Stoppage</u>. NEB may terminate this Agreement with respect to one or more Products after providing at least twelve (12) months' prior written notice to Purchaser if NEB has determined, in its sole discretion, to cease all manufacture and sale of such Products. In such event, unless NEB ceases manufacture of the Products because its continued manufacture or sale would violate Applicable Law or infringe a Third Party's Intellectual Property Rights, then Purchaser may submit Purchase Orders to NEB representing Purchaser's last time buy of Products from NEB ("**Last Time Buy Orders**"). Unless otherwise agreed to by both Parties, the Last Time Buy Orders are limited to the amount of Product representing the binding portion of the current Rolling Forecast. NEB will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the requested amounts, subject to Product availability. The Parties will agree on timing for delivery of the Products ordered under the Last Time Buy Orders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.6 <u>Effects of Termination</u>. It is understood that termination or expiration of this Agreement will not relieve a Party from any liability that, at the time of such termination or expiration, has already accrued to the other Party. For clarity, expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason other than material breach will not relieve Purchaser's obligation to purchase or NEB's obligation to supply any Product ordered under any outstanding Purchase Orders or subject to the binding portion of the Rolling Forecast but not yet ordered. The provisions of Articles 1, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10, and Sections 6.2, and 6.3 will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, subject to any time limitations stated therein. All other rights and obligations of the Parties will cease upon termination of this Agreement.

#### ARTICLE 9

#### CONFIDENTIALITY; PUBLICITY

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.1 <u>Definitions</u>.

Purchaser's Instructions shall be deemed the Confidential Information of Purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.2 <u>Non-Disclosure and Non-Use</u>. During the Term and for five (5) years thereafter (unless the Confidential Information constitutes a trade secret under Applicable Laws and the Disclosing Party has notified the Receiving Party as such, in which case, until such Confidential Information no longer constitutes a trade secret), the Receiving Party shall (a) keep confidential and not publish or otherwise disclose Confidential Information or use Confidential Information for any purpose other than as permitted under, or required to perform its obligations under, this Agreement; (b) protect the Confidential Information with the same degree of care as it normally uses to preserve and safeguard its own proprietary information of like nature, but not less than a reasonable degree of care; and (c) disclose Confidential Information only to its employees, advisors, agents herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.3 <u>Exclusions</u>. Confidential Information will not include information that the Receiving Party can establish by competent written proof (a) was already known to the Receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (b) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the Receiving Party; (c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure and other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party in breach of this Agreement; (d) was disclosed to the Receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, by a Third Party who had no obligation to the Disclosing Party not to disclose such information to others; or (e) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without the aid, use or application of the Confidential Information. In addition, disclosure of Confidential Information is not prohibited to the extent required to comply with Applicable Laws or regulations, or with a valid court or administrative order, *provided* that the Receiving Party (i) promptly notifies the Disclosing Party in writing of the existence, terms and circumstances of such required disclosure; (ii) consults with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such disclosure; and (iii) takes all reasonable and lawful actions to obtain confidential treatment for such disclosure.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.4 <u>Return of Confidential Information</u>. Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, at the written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall return to the Disclosing Party or destroy all originals, copies, and summaries of documents, materials, and other tangible manifestations of Confidential Information in the possession or control of the Receiving Party (including its employees, advisors, agents and Affiliates); *provided, however*, that one (1) copy of the Confidential Information may be retained by the Receiving Party for the sole purpose of monitoring its ongoing obligations hereunder and if Purchaser is obligated to submit Confidential Information as part of a FDA application, or to other regulatory authorities, then such Confidential Information need not be returned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.5 <u>Publicity</u>. Except as required by Applicable Laws, neither Party shall use the name of the other Party in any publicity or advertising without the prior written approval of the other Party. The Parties agree not to disclose any terms or conditions of this Agreement to any Third Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as required by Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to providing any documentation or other materials referring to a Party to, or making any filing referring to such Party with, a regulatory or other government authority or other Third Party, the other Party (i.e., Party making the filing) shall provide such first Party with an advance copy of such documentation with reasonable time to allow such first Party to review and comment on such documentation. Further, the Party making the filing shall incorporate any reasonable changes to language relating to the other Party and/or its products requested by such other Party prior to making the filing or disclosure. The restrictions on the use of a Party's name in this Section 9.5 shall pertain to the name of the Party and the name of any Affiliates of such Party.

Each Party shall comply in all material respects with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to its conduct pursuant to this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that the Products are subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.2 <u>Force Majeure</u>. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any provision of this Agreement when such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party including, without limitation, fire, floods, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war is declared or not), insurrections, riots, terrorism, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority or the other Party; *provided, however*, that the Party so affected shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance, and shall continue to perform hereunder with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed; *and provided, further*, that in no event shall a Party be required to settle any labor dispute or disturbance. A Party shall provide the other Party with prompt written notice of any delay or failure to perform that occurs by reason of *force majeure*. The Parties shall mutually seek a resolution of the delay or the failure to perform as noted above. The Parties shall use their respective reasonable efforts to prevent or mitigate the consequences of such events.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.3 <u>Assignment</u>. This Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; *provided, however*, that each of the Parties may, without such consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder (a) in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the portion of its business to which this Agreement relates; and (b) to its Affiliates. In the event of any assignment, (i) the assigning Party shall deliver written notice of the assignment to the other Party, (ii) the assignee shall agree to be bound to the obligations of the assigning Party, (iii) the assigning Party shall remain liable for the performance of all obligations under this Agreement as if the assignment did not occur, except in the case of a consolidation or merger where the assigning Party is not the surviving entity, and (iv) in the event the assignee fails to meet its performance obligations under the Agreement the assignee shall be subject to the terms and conditions for breach and termination under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.4 <u>Severability</u>. If any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Party to circumstance is, to any extent, held to be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term, covenant or condition to the Parties or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, will not be affected thereby and each term, covenant or condition of this Agreement will be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

#### SUPPLY AGREEMENT

#### Amendment No. 1

This Amendment No. 1 **("Amendment No. 1")** is made as of November 9, 2022 (the **"Amendment No. 1 Effective Date")** between New England Biolabs, Inc., having a principal address at 240 County Road, Ipswich, Massachusetts 01938 ("**NEB**") and Freenome Holdings, Inc., having a principal address at 279 E. Grand Avenue, 5<sup>th</sup> Floor, South San Francisco, CA 94080 **("Purchaser").** NEB and Purchaser are each a "Party" and together the "Parties." Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Original Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, NEB and Purchaser entered into a supply agreement with an effective date of February 16, 2022 **("Original Agreement");**

WHEREAS, the Parties now desire to amend the Original Agreement to incorporate an arrangement whereby NEB provides Freenome certain exclusive rights to purchase a subset of Products for Freenome in order to perform NEB's EM-seq Method (as defined below) in a particular field and territory, all in accordance with the terms set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, NEB and Purchaser agree that the Original Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

**Recitals.** The recitals to the Original Agreement are hereby deleted and replaced with the following language:

**WHEREAS,** NEB is in the business of the design, development, manufacture and commercialization of the life science reagents and kits;

**Exclusivity.** A new Section 2.8 is added to the Original Agreement as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.8 <u>Exclusivity</u>. Contingent on Purchaser (a) meeting the requirements set out in this Section 2.8 [\*\*\*]; and (b) issuing to NEB a warrant to purchase up to [\*\*\*] shares of Purchaser's common stock at [\*\*\*] per share, as set forth in the Warrant Purchase Agreement attached as <u>Exhibit H</u>, Purchaser has the exclusive right, under NEB's rights in the EM-seq Patents, to practice the EM-seq Method using the EM-seq Products purchased from NEB under this Agreement, in the Field and in the Territory. Purchaser's exclusive rights will begin on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date and continue, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 2.8 or 2.10, until the expiration or termination of the Agreement.

In addition to the warrant to purchase Purchaser common stock as set out above and in <u>Exhibit H</u>, the exclusivity described in this Section 2.8 is contingent on Purchaser meeting all the following milestones:

[\*\*\*]

[\*\*\*] Should Purchaser and NEB expand exclusivity in the Field to include other single cancer indications in addition to the Initial Cancer Indications (in accordance with Section 2.9), then the Parties will update the milestones to reflect these additions.

**Field Expansion.** A new Section 2.9 is added to the Agreement as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.9 <u>Field Expansion</u>. Provided Purchaser is not in material default of the Agreement, Purchaser may expand the Field as set out below in this Section 2.9:

<u>Additional Single Cancer Indications</u>. Purchaser may approach NEB during the Term to inquire about expanding the Field to add one or more single cancer indications (other than the Initial Cancer Indications) to the Agreement (each a "**Single Cancer Indication Request**"). If NEB has not already entered into an agreement with a Third Party for rights to such requested single cancer indication, then NEB and Purchaser will enter into good faith discussions regarding expanding the Field to include exclusive rights to the single cancer indication. Each Single Cancer Indication Request must include the name of the single cancer indication and a development plan for the FDA submission of the Freenome Diagnostic Assay for the single cancer indication (including development milestones and a projected timeline for achieving such milestones). If NEB agrees to expand the Field to include exclusive rights to the requested applicable single cancer indication, then the Parties will prepare and execute a written amendment to this Agreement to add exclusive rights to the single cancer indication, including any requisite milestones to maintain exclusivity to such single cancer indication, and payment of any additional exclusivity fees.

------

<u>Additional Field</u>. Provided Purchaser is not in material default of the Agreement, Purchaser shall, during the Term, have a right of first refusal to add a new and different field to the Agreement [\*\*\*]. Should Purchaser exercise this right to such additional field, then NEB and Purchaser will enter into good faith negotiations regarding adding the new field to the Agreement.

**New Section 2.10.** A new Section 2.10 is added to the Original Agreement as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.10 <u>EM-seq Product Labeling and Enforcement</u>.

Purchaser understands that NEB sells, will sell, and has sold, EM-seq Products for use outside of the Field and Territory, and nothing in this Agreement will limit NEB's ability to continue to do so. Provided, however, when NEB sells EM-seq Products to Third Parties and to Distributors for use outside the Field, but in the Territory, the EM- seq Products will include documentation and labeling indicating that the EM-seq Products may not be used to practice the EM-seq Method in the Field and in the Territory. NEB will also notify NEB customers within the Territory who have purchased EM-seq Products from NEB [\*\*\*], regarding the Field limitations. NEB shall also train its sales force to convey to NEB customers, other than Purchaser, that the EM-seq Products may not be sold or used to practice the EM-seq Method in the Field and in the Territory. The exclusivity will also be publicized by means of press releases by the Parties and any other publications agreed-upon by the Parties. If the Field is expanded in accordance with this Section 2.9, then the Parties will agree in good faith on how to notify Third Parties of the expanded Field.

If a Third Party is using EM-seq Products purchased from NEB or its Distributors to practice the EM-seq Method, in the Field and in the Territory (each an "**Infringing Customer**"), then upon becoming aware, Purchaser will promptly notify NEB and NEB will communicate the Field limitations to the Infringing Customer (if sold directly by NEB), or to the Distributor (if sold to the Infringing Customer through a Distributor). Similarly, if in the exercise of reasonable diligence NEB suspects, or becomes aware of an Infringing Customer, NEB will communicate the Field limitations to the Infringing Customer (or the Distributor, as appropriate and applicable). If, following notification from NEB, NEB determines that the Infringing Customer is continuing to use the EM-seq Products to practice the EM-seq Method in the Field and in the Territory, then NEB will stop selling the EM-seq Products to the Infringing Customer or to the Distributor supplying the EM-Seq Products to the Infringing Customer, until such time that the Infringing Customer stops using the EM-seq Products to practice the EM-seq Method in the Field and in the Territory.

**Modification to Section 6.3.** Section 6.3 of the Original Agreement is deleted and replaced with the following language:

<u>Product Warranty</u>.

NEB warrants that the Products (i) will be manufactured in accordance with the Specifications, Purchaser Instructions, Quality Agreement and Applicable Law, and (ii) will meet the applicable Specifications until the expiration dates specified on the Product packaging, or if not specified, [\*\*\*] from the date that NEB delivers such Product to Purchaser. The foregoing warranty shall not be effective if NEB determines, in its sole discretion, that Purchaser has altered or misused the Product or has failed to use or store such Product in accordance with instructions furnished by NEB or the defects to the Product result from negligence, neglect or accident of any party other than NEB and its agents. NEB's sole and exclusive liability, and Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy with respect to Product that is defective or nonconforming, will be the replacement of such Product free of charge upon the return of such Product in accordance with NEB's instructions; *<u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>,* at Purchaser's discretion, NEB may instead provide a credit or refund in accordance with Section 4.3.

[\*\*\*]

------

THE WARRANTIES ABOVE EXTEND ONLY TO PURCHASER, AND PURCHASER CANNOT TRANSFER THEM EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SECTION 10.3. THE WARRANTIES ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE, AND NEB MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR REGARDING RESULTS OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE. IF NEB MANUFACTURES CUSTOM PRODUCTS FOR PURCHASER BASED ON PURCHASER'S INSTRUCTIONS, NEB SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCTS TO THE EXTENT ATTRIBUTABLE TO SUCH PURCHASER INSTRUCTIONS, PROVIDED SUCH PRODUCTS WERE OTHERWISE SUPPLIED BY NEB IN ACCORDANCE WITH PURCHASER'S INSTRUCTIONS, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE QUALITY AGREEMENT.

**Modification to Section 7.4.** Section 7.4 of the Original Agreement is deleted and replaced with the following language:

<u>Limitation of Liability.</u> [\*\*\*]

**Modification to Section 8.1.** Section 8.1 of the Original Agreement is deleted and replaced with the following language:

Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for an initial term of ten (10) years ("Initial Term"). Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive two (2) year periods (each, a "Renewal Term" and the Initial Term together with any and all applicable Renewal Terms, the "Term"), unless either Party notifies the other Party in writing at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the then-current Term that such Party does not wish to continue this Agreement.

**Modification to Section 8.2.** Section 8.2. of the Original Agreement is deleted and replaced with the following language:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2 Termination for Breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement if the other Party commits a material breach of any of its warranties, covenants, conditions, obligations or agreements contained herein, provided that such breach continues for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after the non-breaching Party provides the breaching Party with written notice thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that NEB will have [\*\*\*] to cure a material breach of Section 2.10. Termination under this Section 8.2 shall be immediately effective upon the non-breaching Party providing the breaching Party with further written notice of termination after the breaching Party failed to cure such breach within the applicable cure period.

**New Exhibit F.** <u>Exhibit F - Exclusivity Milestones; Initial Cancer Indications</u>, attached hereto, is hereby added to the Original Agreement.

**New Exhibit G.** <u>Exhibit G - EM-seq Products and EM-seq Patents</u>, attached hereto, is hereby added to the Original Agreement.

------

**New Exhibit H.** <u>Exhibit H - Warrant Purchase Agreement</u>, attached hereto, is hereby added to the Original Agreement.

**Entire Agreement and Amendments and Counterparts.** Except as expressly stated otherwise in this Amendment No. 1, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings as ascribed to them in the Original Agreement, and all other terms, provisions and conditions set forth in the Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Amendment No. 1, along with the Original Agreement, together formulate the entire agreement between the Parties and supersede all other agreements with respect to the subject matter of this Amendment No. 1. The Original Agreement and this Amendment (including the attachments hereto) shall be read and construed together as a single agreement and the term "<u>Agreement</u>" used in the Original Agreement shall henceforth be deemed a reference to the Original Agreement as amended by this Amendment. If there is any conflict between the provisions of this Amendment No. 1 and the Original Agreement, the provisions of this Amendment govern. This Amendment No. 1 may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

**EXERCISE**.

**<u>Method of Exercise</u>.** Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, and the provisions of subsection 2.10(c) of the Supply Agreement as added by the First Amendment to the Supply Agreement, Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, but only with respect to the number of shares that have become Vested Shares pursuant to Section 2.2 above, by surrendering this Warrant at the principal offices of the Company, with the subscription form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u> (*"****Subscription Form****"*) duly executed by Holder, and payment of an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Vested Shares to be purchased by Holder by (b) the Warrant Price or adjusted Warrant Price therefor, if applicable, as determined in accordance with the terms hereof.

**<u>Net Exercise Election</u>.** Holder may elect to convert all or any portion of Vested Shares subject to this Warrant, without the payment by Holder of any additional consideration, by the surrender of this Warrant to the Company, with the net exercise election selected in the Subscription Form, duly executed by Holder, into up to the number of Shares that is obtained under the following formula:

X = <u>Y (A-B)</u>

A

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Where: | X = | the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to Holder pursuant to this Section 3.2. |
|  | Y = | the number of shares of Warrant Stock as to which this Warrant is then being net exercised that are Vested Shares in accordance with the provisions of the above Section 2.2, as of the date of such net exercise. |
|  | A = | the fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock, as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors, as at the time the net exercise election is made pursuant to this Section 3.2. |
|  | B = | the Warrant Price. |

---

For purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock shall be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in good faith; *provided*, *however*, that where there exists a public market for Common Stock at the time of such exercise, the fair market value per share shall be the average of the closing bid and asked prices of Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or the last reported sale price of Common Stock or the closing price quoted on any exchange on which Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published in the Western Edition of *The Wall Street Journal* for the five (5) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Warrant is exercised in connection with the Company's initial public offering of Common Stock, the fair market value per share shall be the per share offering price to the public of the Company's initial public offering. The Company will promptly respond in writing to an inquiry by Holder as to the then current fair market value of one Share.

------

**<u>Automatic Net Exercise</u>.** If this Warrant has not been exercised by Holder pursuant to Sections 3.1 or 3.2 above prior to the consummation of a Liquidation Event, then immediately prior to the completion of a Liquidation Event, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised pursuant to Section 3.2 above.

**<u>Form of Payment</u>.** Payment may be made by (a) a check payable to the Company's order, (b) wire transfer of funds to the Company, (c) cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to Holder, or (d) any combination of the foregoing.

**<u>No Fractional Shares</u>.** No fractional shares may be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant, and any fractions shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. If upon any exercise of this Warrant a fraction of a share results, the Company will pay the cash value of any such fractional share, calculated on the basis of the Warrant Price.

**<u>Restrictions on Exercise</u>.** This Warrant may not be exercised if the issuance of the Warrant Stock upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws or other laws or regulations. As a condition to the exercise of this Warrant, Holder shall execute the Subscription Form, confirming and acknowledging that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 are true and complete as of the date of exercise.

**<u>Partial Exercise</u>.** Upon a partial exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such exercise shall be reduced by the aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock issued upon such exercise of this Warrant.

**<u>ISSUANCE OF STOCK</u>.** This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business at the Company's principal executive office on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above or subject to exercise under Section 3.3 above, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on such date. As soon as practicable on or after such date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise; *provided*,*however*, that the Company will be under no obligation to issue such certificate until Holder shall have surrendered this Warrant for cancellation.

**<u>ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS</u>.** The number and character of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities or property at the time receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) and the Warrant Price therefor, are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of the following events between the date this Warrant is issued and the date it is exercised:

**<u>Adjustment for Stock Splits and Stock Dividends</u>.** The Warrant Price of this Warrant and the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall each be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of Warrant Stock (or such other stock or securities).

**<u>Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions</u>.** In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable respect to the Warrant Stock that is payable in (a) securities of the Company (other than issuances with respect to which adjustment is made under Sections 5.1 or 5.3) or (b) assets (other than cash dividends paid or payable solely out of retained earnings), then, and in each such case, Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation, effective date or record date of such event, shall receive, in addition to the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise prior to such date, the securities or such other assets of the Company to which Holder would have been entitled upon such date if Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).

------

**<u>Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger</u>.** In case of any recapitalization or reorganization of the Company after the date of this Warrant, or in case, after such date, tire Company shall consolidate with or merge into another entity, then, and in each such case, Holder, upon the exercise of this Warrant (as provided in Section 3), at any time after the consummation of such recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation or merger, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation or merger if Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant, and the successor or purchasing corporation in such reorganization, consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) shall duly execute and deliver to Holder a supplement hereto acknowledging such corporation's obligations under this Warrant; and in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger.

**<u>Notice of Adjustments</u>.** The Company shall promptly give written notice of each adjustment or readjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares of Warrant Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The notice shall describe the adjustment or readjustment and show in reasonable detail the facts on which the adjustment or readjustment is based.

**<u>No Change Necessary</u>.** The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Warrant Price or in the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon its exercise.

**<u>Reservation of Shares</u>.** Company must, at all times, reserve a sufficient number of shares such that Holder can exercise the Warrant. If at any time the number of shares of Warrant Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Warrant Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

**<u>REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF HOLDER</u>.** Holder hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company, that:

**<u>Authorization</u>.** Holder has the full power and authority to enter into this Warrant. The Warrant constitutes Holder's valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (b) as may be limited by the effect of rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies.

**<u>Purchase for Own Account</u>.** The Warrant is being acquired for investment for Holder's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act, and Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Holder does not have any contract, undertaking agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or any third person with respect to the Warrant. Holder has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Warrant.

**<u>Disclosure of Information</u>.** At no time was Holder presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of the Warrant. Holder believes it has received or has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Warrant. Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Warrant and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to Holder or to which Holder had access.

------

**<u>Investment Experience</u>.** Holder understands that the purchase of the Warrant involves substantial risk. Holder: (a) has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that Holder is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of Holder investment in the Warrant and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Warrant and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment and/or (b) has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons. Holder represents the office in which its investment decision was made is located at the address on the signature page hereto.

**<u>Accredited Investor Status</u>.** Holder is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (i.e. (a) a natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that person's spouse, at the time of his or her purchase exceeds $1,000,000 (excluding the value of such person's primary residence), (b) a natural person who had an individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person's spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those two years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year, (c) a corporation, limited liability company or partnership having total assets in excess of $5,000,000 that was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the Warrant or (d) otherwise meets the requirements for an "accredited investor" under Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act).

**<u>Restricted Securities</u>.** Holder understands that the Warrant and the Purchase Shares are characterized as "restricted securities" under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, Holder represents that Holder is familiar with Rule 144 of the SEC, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Holder understands that the Company is under no obligation to register any of the securities sold hereunder. Holder understands that no public market now exists for any of the Warrant or the Purchase Shares and that it is uncertain whether a public market will ever exist for the Warrant or the Purchase Shares,

**<u>Disqualification</u>.** Holder represents that neither Holder, nor any person or entity with whom Holder shares beneficial ownership of the Company securities, is subject to any of the "Bad Actor" disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(l)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act.

**<u>Legends</u>.** Holder understands and agrees that the certificates evidencing the Securities will bear legends substantially similar to those set forth below in addition to any other legend that may be required by applicable law, by the Restated Certificate or bylaws of the Company, or by any agreement between the Company and Holder:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A TRANSFER RESTRICTION, AS PROVIDED IN THE BYLAWS OF THE CORPORATION.

------

The legend set forth above shall be removed by the Company from any certificate evidencing the Securities upon delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that a registration statement under the Securities Act is at that time in effect with respect to the legended security or that such security can be freely transferred in a public sale (other than pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 145) without such a registration statement being in effect and that such transfer will not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions from registration pursuant to which the Company issued the Securities. No opinion shall be required for routine transactions under Rule 144.

**<u>''Market Stand-Off" Agreement</u>.** Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the registration by the Company for its own behalf of shares of its Common Stock or any other equity securities under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-l, and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in the case of the IPO, or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (1) the publication or other distribution of research reports, and (2) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2241, or any successor provisions or amendments thereto), (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Common Stock held immediately before the effective date on the registration statement for such offering or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 7</u> shall only apply to the IPO, shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, or the transfer of any shares to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of Holder or the immediate family of Holder, *provided* that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and *provided further* that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, and shall be applicable to Holder only if all officers and directors are subject to the same restrictions and the Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a similar agreement from all stockholders individually owning more than one percent (1%) of the Company's outstanding Common Stock (after giving effect to conversion into Common Stock of all outstanding Preferred Stock). The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this <u>Section 7</u> and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent with this <u>Section 7</u> or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Company or the underwriters shall apply pro rata to all holders of the Company's capital stock subject to such agreements, based on the number of shares subject to such agreements.

**<u>NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS STOCKHOLDER</u>.** This Warrant does not by itself entitle Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. In the absence of affirmative action by Holder to purchase Warrant Stock by exercise of this Warrant, no provisions of this Warrant, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall cause Holder to be a stockholder of the Company for any purpose.

**<u>RESTRICTIONS IN BYLAWS</u>.** Holder agrees that the Purchase Shares shall subject to the limitations on transfer contained in the Company's Bylaws (as may be amended from time to time, the "***Bylaws***") and acknowledges that Holder has received a copy of the Bylaws containing such provisions

------

**<u>NO IMPAIRMENT</u>.** The Company will not, by amendment of the Charter or the Bylaws, or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, willfully avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of Holder against wrongful impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may duly and validly issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Warrant Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(1) Prior to the consummation of the business
combination described in the proxy statement/prospectus forming part of this
registration statement (the "proxy statement/prospectus"), Perceptive Capital
Solutions Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("PCSC"), will de-register
from the Register of Companies in the Cayman Islands and transfer by way of
continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to
migrate to and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with PCSC's
amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, Section 388 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") and Part 12 of the Companies Act
(Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the "Domestication"). All securities being
registered will be issued by PCSC (after its domestication as a corporation
incorporated in the State of Delaware), the continuing entity following the Domestication,
which will be renamed "Freenome, Inc." In connection with and immediately prior
to the Domestication, each of the then-issued and outstanding Class B ordinary
shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of PCSC (the "PCSC Class B Shares") will be
elected to convert, on a one-for-one basis, into Class A ordinary shares, par
value $0.0001 per share, of PCSC (the "PCSC Class A Shares"), as further
described in the proxy statement/prospectus. At the effective time of the
Domestication, each of the then-issued and outstanding PCSC Class A Shares will
convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of common stock,
par value $0.0001 per share, of Freenome, Inc. (the "New Freenome Common
Stock"). The proposed maximum offering price per share of New Freenome Common
Stock is estimated in accordance with Rules 457(c) and 457(f)(1) promulgated
under the Securities Act solely for the purpose of calculating the registration
fee and is based upon a per share price of $11.275,
which is the average of the high and low prices per share of the PCSC Class A
Shares on April 23, 2026,
as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market. Pursuant to Rule 416(a) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), there are also being
registered an indeterminable number of additional shares of New Freenome Common
Stock as may be issued to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock
dividends or similar transactions.

(2) Represents a good faith estimate of the maximum number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock to be issued to holders of shares of Freenome Holdings, Inc. common stock and preferred stock ("Freenome Stockholders") upon completion of the Business Combination, estimated solely for the purposes of calculating the registration fee. The consideration to Freenome Stockholders will be determined on the closing date of the Business Combination by reference to an exchange ratio based on an implied Freenome base equity value of $725,000,000, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Freenome is a private company, no public market exists for its securities, and it has an accumulated capital deficit. Therefore, the proposed maximum aggregate offering price is calculated pursuant to Rules 457(o) and 457(f)(2) as one-third of the aggregate par value of the Freenome securities expected to be exchanged in connection with the Business Combination.
