**Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities**

On August 28, 2025, Standard BioTools Inc. (the "Company") determined to consolidate its South San Francisco-based R&D capabilities into its Singapore facility to co-locate with its manufacturing operations and to implement a reduction-in-force of certain U.S. employees in the Company's R&D function, including members of its management team. This is part of a plan to restructure the Company's operating expenses to improve operational efficiency and reduce operating costs, while supporting the execution of the Company's long-term strategic plan.

The Company currently expects expenses related to the reduction-in-force, consisting primarily of cash severance and termination benefits and related costs, to be approximately $3.6 million, which includes approximately $0.9 million of non-cash expenses related to vesting of share-based awards. These estimates are subject to a number of assumptions, and actual results may differ. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the operational restructuring plan, including the reduction-in-force. The Company expects these costs to be payable over the next several months.

***Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements***

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements related to the expected costs and timing of costs associated with the reduction-in-force and expected reductions of operating expenses. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company's current expectations and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, risks related to cost reduction efforts. In addition, the Company's costs may be greater than anticipated and the workforce and operating expense reductions may have an adverse impact on the Company's sales and development activities. Additionally, these forward-looking statements should be considered in conjunction with the cautionary statements and risk factors described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and its other filings filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.
