**Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

***Loan Agreement***

On February 27, 2026 (the "Closing Date"), GeneDx Holdings Corp. (the "Company") entered into a Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement"), with Blackstone Alternative Credit Advisors LP and Blackstone Life Sciences Advisors L.L.C. (collectively, the "Blackstone Representative" and referred to herein as "Blackstone"), certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as Guarantors, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Agent and the lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively, the "Lenders").

The Loan Agreement provides for a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million funded to the Company on the Closing Date (the "Term Loan"). The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to repay in full the Company's existing term loan under its existing Credit Agreement and Guaranty, dated as of October 27, 2023, by and among Sema4 OpCo, Inc. and GeneDx, LLC, as Borrowers, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Perceptive Credit Holdings IV, LP as the administrative agent and as a lender (the "Existing Credit Agreement"), and are also expected to be used for other balance sheet optimization initiatives, including potential reductions of certain operating obligations, as well as for general corporate purposes.

The Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to the Term SOFR adjusted secured overnight financing rate plus a margin of 4.50%. The Term Loan includes a SOFR floor of 1.50%. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, all amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement will bear additional interest at a per annum rate equal to 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to the Term Loan. The Term Loan will mature and the principal amount (including any interest and fees) must be repaid on the date that is five years from the Closing Date.

The Term Loan will be subject to mandatory prepayment provisions that may require prepayment upon a change of control, the incurrence of certain additional indebtedness, certain asset sales, or an event of loss, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Company may prepay the Term Loan in whole or in part at its option at any time. Any prepayment of the Term Loan is subject to certain yield protection premiums.

The obligations under the Loan Agreement will be guaranteed by the Guarantors and secured by a first lien security interest in substantially all assets of the Company and Guarantors.

The Loan Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default applicable to the Company and the Guarantors. The Loan Agreement also contains a minimum liquidity covenant of $50 million. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Lenders may declare all amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Loan Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreements and, as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Loan Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, the Loan Agreement is incorporated herein by reference only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Loan Agreement, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company or its business, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in the Company's periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.

**Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.**

The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding termination of the Existing Credit Agreement in connection with the payoff of this agreement is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.02.

**Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.**
