 EXHIBIT A 

PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT 
 This Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (“Agreement’’) is entered into by and between Juan Sebastian Saldivar (“Employee”), on the one hand, and AltheaDx, Inc.
(together with its parent, subsidiary and affiliated corporations and entities, and their successors and assigns, the “Company”), on the other hand. 
 WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in a continuous program of research, development and production; 

WHEREAS, the Employee is employed by the Company and is expected to make new contributions and inventions of value to the Company; and 

WHEREAS, Employee’s employment creates a relationship of confidence and trust between the Employee and the Company with respect to confidential
business information. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations set forth below, and for other valuable consideration,
including Employee’s employment and/or continued employment and compensation received by Employee from the Company, Employee and the Company agree as follows: 
  

	1.	PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. 

 a.
Employee understands that, by virtue of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee will acquire and be exposed to Proprietary Information of the Company. “Proprietary Information” includes all ideas, information and materials,
tangible or intangible, not generally known to the public, relating in any manner to the business of the Company, its products and services (including all trade secrets), its personnel (including its officers, directors, employees, and contractors),
its clients, vendors and suppliers and all others with whom it does business that Employee learns about or acquires during Employee’s employment with the Company. Proprietary Information includes, but is not limited to, manuals, documents,
computer programs and software used by the Company, all formulas or processes, know-how, improvements, techniques, marketing plans, strategies, forecasts, user manuals, compilations of technical, financial, legal or other data, salary information,
client or prospective client or customer lists, names of suppliers or vendors, client, supplier or vendor contact information, customer contact information, business referral sources, specifications, designs, devices, inventions, business or
marketing plans or strategies, pricing information, mock-ups, prototypes, and works in progress, all other research and development information, forecasts, financial information, and all other technical or business information. Proprietary
Information does not include publicly available information or information that is generally known and used within the biotechnology research industry in which the Company engages in business. 

b. Employee agrees to hold in trust and confidence all Proprietary Information during and after the period of Employee’s employment
with the Company. Employee shall not use or disclose any Proprietary Information to anyone outside the Company for any purpose other than for the benefit of the Company as required by Employee’s authorized

  
 4 

 
duties for the Company. At all times during Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee shall comply with all of the Company’s policies and procedures relating to the protection
and confidentiality of Proprietary Information. Upon termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, (a) Employee shall not use or disclose Proprietary Information to anyone, for any purpose, unless expressly requested to do so in
writing by an authorized officer of the Company, (b) Employee shall not retain or take with Employee any Proprietary Information in a Tangible Form (defined below), and (c) Employee shall immediately deliver to the Company any Proprietary
Information in a Tangible Form that Employee may then or thereafter hold or control, as well as all other property, equipment, documents or things that Employee was issued or otherwise received or obtained during Employee’s employment with the
Company. “Tangible Form” includes ideas, information or materials in written or graphic form, on a computer disc or other medium, or otherwise stored in or available through electronic, magnetic, videotape or other form. 

 

	2.	COMPETING ACTIVITIES. 

 To
protect the Company’s Proprietary Information and to avoid conflicts of interest, during Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee shall not engage in any activity that is or may be competitive with the Company in any city, county,
parish or state in the United States, where the Company engages in business, whether or not for compensation; provided, however, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting Employee’s ability to engage in any lawful off-duty
conduct 
  

	3.	RETURN OF DOCUMENTS AND MATERIALS. 

 Immediately upon the termination of Employee’s employment or at any time prior thereto if requested by the Company, Employee shall return all documents, data, records, apparatus, equipment,
chemicals, molecules, organisms and other physical property, proposals, notes, lists, files, and any and all other materials, including but not limited to Proprietary Information in a Tangible Form, that refers, relates or otherwise pertains to the
Company and its business, including its products and services, personnel, customers or clients (actual or potential), investors (actual or potential), and/or vendors and suppliers (actual or potential), and any and all business dealings with said
persons and entities (the “Returned Property and Equipment”) to the Company. Employee is not authorized to retain any copies or duplicates of the Returned Property and Equipment or any Proprietary Information that Employee obtained or
received as a result of Employee’s employment or other relationships with the Company. 
  

	4.	PROPRIETARY INFORMATION OF OTHERS. 

 Employee shall not, during employment with the Company, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer, or other person or entity. The
Employee will not bring to the Company any such proprietary or trade secret ideas, information or materials belonging to such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity.

	5.	INVENTIONS. 

 a. Employee hereby
assigns, and irrevocably agrees to assign, to the Company all patents, rights, title and interest in and to all work performed, and all materials, creations, designs, technology, discoveries, inventions, ideas, information and other subject matter
(whether or not patentable or copyrightable), conceived, developed or created by Employee, alone or with others, during the period of Employee’s employment with the Company, including, but limited to, all copyrighted, trade secret, patent,
trademark and other intellectual property rights, subject to the exclusions of Section 5(b) (“lnventions”). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Inventions shall be deemed works made for hire, and all rights, title and
interest in and to the Inventions shall vest automatically in the Company. The Company shall have the sole right, in its own name, to obtain, hold, register and otherwise perfect, protect and enforce (including bringing actions for past or future
infringement of) all rights relating to the Inventions, including, but not limited to, any renewals or extensions thereof. Employee shall, whether during or after Employee’s employment with the Company, (1) notify the Company of any
Inventions, and deliver to the Company the Tangible Form of all Inventions (including any copies) and (2) provide the Company and any person designated by the Company, at the Company’s expense, any assistance and cooperation requested by
the Company to obtain, hold, register and otherwise perfect, protect and enforce (including brining actions for past or future infringement of) all rights relating to the Inventions, including, but not limited to, executing written instruments and
serving as a witness. If, in breach of Employee’s obligations under this Agreement, Employee uses any Proprietary Information in conceiving, developing or creating any materials, creations, designs, technology, discoveries, inventions, ideas,
information or other subject matter after the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee acknowledges and agrees that such subject matter constitutes Inventions subject to this assignment requirement and all other terms and
conditions of this Agreement. 
 b. Employee understands that Inventions (as defined above) do not include subject matter that
meets all of the following criteria: (1) is conceived, developed and created by Employee on Employee’s own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies or facilities or any Proprietary Information, (2) is unrelated to the
actual or reasonably anticipated business or research and development of the Company of which Employee is or becomes aware, and (3) does not result from any work performed by Employee for the Company; provided, further, nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to require Employee to assign to the Company any Inventions that are excluded from any such assignment under California Labor Code section 2670. A copy of California Labor Code section 2870 is reproduced under Exhibit 1.
Employee shall be deemed to be aware of all activities of the Company. 
 c. To avoid any misunderstanding, Employee has listed
on Exhibit 2: (1) all materials, creations, designs, technology, discoveries, inventions, ideas, information and other subject matter, including, but not limited to, copyrights, trade secrets, patents, trademarks and other intellectual property
rights, if any, developed or created by Employee, alone or with others, before the period of Employee’s employment with the Company in which Employee claims any ownership or rights, and (2) all agreements or arrangements that may affect
the rights to any such subject matter or Employee’s ability to be employed by and perform services for the Company and comply with the requirements of this Agreement. Employee acknowledges and

  
 6 

 
agrees that (i) by not listing particular subject matter, Employee is warranting that the subject matter was not conceived, developed or created before commencement of Employee’s
employment, and (ii) by not listing particular agreements or arrangements, Employee is warranting that no such agreements or arrangements exist. 
  

	6.	SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES 

Employee agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of Employee’s relationship with
the Company for any reason, whether or without cause, Employee shall not use the Company’s Proprietary Information to directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s employees or consultants to leave their
employment, or to attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, or encourage the Company’s employees or consultants to leave their employment, for any reason. 
  

	7.	RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON BREACH. 

If Employee breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this Agreement, Employee agrees that, in aid of
arbitration and as a provisional remedy (or permanent remedy ordered by an arbitrator), the Company shall have the right to have each and every one of the covenants in this Agreement specifically enforced and to obtain temporary and permanent
injunctive relief, it being acknowledged and agreed by Employee that any breach or threatened breach of any of the covenants and agreements contained herein would cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages would not provide an
adequate remedy at law to the Company. In any proceeding seeking to enforce Sections 1 through 6 of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, including expert fees,
which were incurred by that party in connection with any such proceeding. 
  

	8.	SEVERABILITY. 

 Employee
acknowledges and agrees that (a) the covenants and agreements contained herein are reasonable and valid, and do not impose limitations greater than are necessary to protect the goodwill, Proprietary Information, and other business interests of
the Company; and (b) if one or more of the provisions in this Agreement are deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid portions.

  

	9.	CONFIRMATION OF AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT. 

 Unless Employee and the Company have otherwise entered into an express, written employment contract or agreement for a specified term, Employee and the Company agree that: (a) Employee’s
employment with the Company is and shall be at all times on an at-will basis, and the Company or Employee may terminate Employee’s employment at any time, for any reason, with or without cause or advance notice; (b) nothing in this
Agreement or in the Company’s employee manuals, handbooks or other written materials, and no oral statements or representations of any Company officer, director, agent or employee, create or are intended to create an express or implied contract
for employment or continuing employment; and (c) nothing in the Agreement obligates the Company to hire, retain or promote Employee. 

  
 7 

	10.	ENTIRE AGREEMENT/MODIFICATION

any and all previous contracts, arrangements or understandings between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and (c) may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties hereto.

  

	11.	GOVERNING LAW. 

 This Agreement
shall be construed, interpreted and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of California regardless of choice of law principles. 
  

	12.	PARTIES IN INTEREST/ASSIGNMENT/SURVIVAL. 

 Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by Employee. The Company may sell,
assign, and transfer all of its right, title and interests in this Agreement without the prior consent of Employee, whether by operation of law or otherwise, in which case this Agreement shall remain in full force after such sale, assignment or
other transfer and may be enforced by (a) any successor, assignee or transferee of all or any part of the Company’s business as fully and completely as it could be enforced by the Company if no such sale, assignment or transfer had
occurred, and (b) the Company in the case of any sale, assignment or other transfer of a part, but not all, of the business. The benefits under this Agreement shall inure to and may be enforced by the Company, and its parent, subsidiary and
affiliated corporations and entities, and their successors, transferees and assigns.

 EXHIBIT B 

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT 
 This Arbitration Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Juan-Sebastian Saldivar (“Employee”), on the one hand, and AltheaDx, Inc. (together with its parent, subsidiary
and affiliated corporations and entitles, and their successors and assigns, the “Company”), on the other hand. 
 1.
How This Agreement Applies: 
 This Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. and evidences
a transaction involving commerce. 
 This Agreement applies to any dispute, past, present or future, arising out of or related in any way to
Employee’s employment with the Company or termination of employment. The Agreement applies to any such disputes even if they are brought by Employee’s parents, guardians, assigns, beneficiaries, spouse, children or heirs on Employee’s
behalf. 
 Except as it otherwise provides, this Agreement is intended to apply to the resolution of past, present and future disputes that
otherwise would be resolved in a court of law, and requires all such disputes to be resolved only by an arbitrator through final and binding arbitration and not by way of court or jury trial. Such disputes include without limitation disputes arising
out of or relating to interpretation or application of this Agreement, but not as to the enforceability, revocability or validity of the Agreement or any portion of the Agreement, which disputes can only be resolved by a court of competent
jurisdiction. The Agreement also applies, without limitation, to disputes regarding the employment relationship, compensation, wages, meal and/or rest breaks, benefits, discrimination, harassment, wrongful discipline, breach of contract, unfair
competition, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, violation of public policy, retaliation (including retaliation under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act), fraud, defamation, invasion of privacy, negligence, assault or
battery. Claims for discrimination and harassment include, but are not limited to, those based on race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, age, marital status, physical disability, pregnancy, mental
disability or medical condition and veteran status. The Agreement further applies to all claims arising under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Family
Medical Leave Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act, the Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Labor Code and all other state or federal statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters,
and all other state statutory and common law claims. 
 2. Limitations On How This Agreement Applies: 

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or excuse Employee from utilizing the Company’s existing internal procedures for
resolution of complaints, and this Agreement is not intended to be a substitute for the utilization of such procedures. 

  
 12 

 Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude or excuse a party from bringing an
administrative claim before any agency in order to fulfill the party’s obligation to exhaust administrative remedies before making a claim in arbitration. Claims may also be brought before an administrative agency to the extent applicable law
permits access to such an agency notwithstanding the existence of an agreement to arbitrate. Such administrative claims include without limitation claims or charges brought before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of
Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, or the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing. 
 This Agreement also does not cover disputes that may not be subject to pre-dispute arbitration agreements as provided by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. This Agreement also
does not cover: claims for workers compensation, state disability or unemployment insurance benefits; any criminal complaint or proceeding filed by a governmental agency; claims for restitution or civil penalties owed by an employee for an act for
which the Company sought criminal prosecution; and claims for benefits under any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company and covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or funded by insurance. Private attorney general actions are
not subject to this Agreement and therefore must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction. 
 3. Commencing
Arbitration 
 All claims in arbitration are subject to the same statutes of limitation that would apply in court. Either party may commence
the arbitration process by filing a written demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), 600 “B” Street, Suite 1450 San Diego, CA 92101, and sending a copy by hand or first class mail to the other
party. If Employee initiates the arbitration process, Employee will send the notice to the Company at the following address: ATTN: Adria Curtis, AltheaDx, 3550 Dunhill St., San Diego, CA 92121. If the Company initiates arbitration, it will send the
notice to Employee’s last known home address as reflected in the Company’s personnel records. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes regarding the timeliness or propriety of the demand for arbitration. 

4. Selecting The Arbitrator 
 The arbitrator shall either be an attorney licensed to practice in the location where the arbitration proceeding will be conducted or a retired federal or state judicial officer who presided in the
jurisdiction where the arbitration will be conducted. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the Company and the Employee or, if the parties cannot agree, the arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to according to the procedures
established by the AAA. The location of the arbitration proceeding shall be in San Diego, unless each party to the arbitration agrees in writing otherwise. 
 5. How Arbitration Proceedings Are Conducted 
 Except as provided herein, the Parties will
conduct the arbitration according to the rules stated in California Code of Civil Procedure sections 1281-1287, et seq. 

  
 13 

 In arbitration, the parties will have the right to conduct adequate civil discovery, bring dispositive
motions, and present witnesses and evidence as needed to present their cases and defenses, and any disputes in this regard shall be resolved by the arbitrator. 
 Should a non-party witness refuse to comply with a subpoena issued by the arbitrator and the arbitrator is unable to enforce compliance with the subpoena, the Parties agree to submit the subpoena to a
court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of the subpoena. 
 Employee and the Company agree to bring any dispute in arbitration on an
individual basis only, and not on a class or collective action basis. Accordingly, there will be no right or authority for any dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class or collective action (“Class and Collective Action
Waiver”). Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Agreement, the Class and Collective Action Waiver shall not be severable from this Agreement in any case in which: (1) the dispute is filed as a class or collective action
and (2) a civil court of competent jurisdiction finds the Class and Collective Action Waiver is unenforceable. In such instances, the class or collective action must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction. 

Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Agreement, any claim that all or part of the Class and Collective Action Waiver is unenforceable,
unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. 
 The Class and
Collective Action Waiver, and any other provision of this Agreement, shall be severable in any case in which the dispute is filed as an individual action and severance is necessary to ensure that the individual action proceeds in arbitration.

 Although Employee will not be retaliated against, disciplined or threatened with discipline for exercising rights under Section 7 of the
National Labor Relations Act by the filing of or participation in a class or collective action, the Company may lawfully seek enforcement of this Agreement, including the Class and Collective Action Waiver under the Federal Arbitration Act, and may
seek dismissal of any such class or collective action. 
 6. Paying For The Arbitration 

If Employee initiates arbitration against the Company, the Employee’s portion of the filing fee, if required, will be the lesser of the comparable
state and/or federal court filing fee applicable to Employee’s claims. If Employee can show that Employee’s portion of the filing fee creates an undue hardship, Employee may contact the arbitrator for consideration to have it waived.

 The Company will pay the remainder of the filing fee, the arbitrator’s fee and any administrative expenses. If the arbitrator finds in
favor of Employee, the Company will reimburse Employee’s portion of the filing fee. 
 Employee will also be responsible for paying
Employee’s litigation costs and Employee’s attorneys’ fees if Employee chooses to have representation in any arbitration proceeding. The Company will be responsible for paying its litigation costs and attorneys’ fees if it
chooses to have representation in any arbitration proceeding. However, if the Employee or the Company prevails on a statutory claim which allows the prevailing party to recover attorneys’ fees and

  
 14 

 
litigation costs, or if there is a written agreement providing for attorneys’ fees and/or litigation costs, the arbitrator shall rule on a motion for attorneys’ fees and/or litigation
costs under the same standards a court would apply under the law applicable to the claim at issue. 
 Any disputes regarding payment of
attorneys’ fees, administrative expenses and costs will be resolved by the arbitrator. 
 7. The Arbitration Hearing And
Award 
 The parties will arbitrate their dispute before the arbitrator, who shall confer with the parties regarding the conduct of the
hearing and resolve any disputes the parties may have in that regard. Within 30 days of the close of the arbitration hearing, any party will have the right to prepare, serve on the other party and file with the arbitrator a brief. The arbitrator may
award any party any remedy to which that party is entitled under applicable law, but such remedies shall be limited to those that would be available to a party in his or her individual capacity in a court of law for the claims presented to and
decided by the arbitrator, and no remedies that otherwise would be available to an individual in a court of law will be forfeited by virtue of this Agreement. The arbitrator will issue a decision or award in writing, stating the essential findings
of fact and conclusions of law. Except as may be permitted or required by law, as determined by the arbitrator, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written
consent of all parties. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enter a judgment upon the award made pursuant to the arbitration. 
 8. It is against Company policy for any Employee to be subject to retaliation if he or she exercises his or her right to assert claims under this Agreement if any Employee believes that he or she has been
retaliated against by anyone at the Company, the Employee should immediately report this to the Human Resources Department

 c/o AltheaDx, Inc. 

Re:     Separation and Consulting Agreement 

Dear Shannon: 
 This letter sets forth the terms of the
separation and consulting agreement (the “Agreement”) that AltheaDx, Inc. (the “Company”) is offering to aid in your employment transition. 

1. Separation Date. Your last day of work with the Company and your employment termination date will be effective November 28,
2014 (the “Separation Date”). As of the Separation Date, you will no longer be employed as Chief Commercial Officer of the Company or hold any other employment or officer positions with the Company. 

2. Accrued Salary and Vacation. The Company will pay you on the Separation Date all accrued salary, and all accrued and unused vacation
earned through the Separation Date, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings. 
 3. Health Insurance. Provided that
you timely elect, pursuant to the federal COBRA law or, if applicable, state insurance laws, to continue your group health insurance benefits (at the same level of coverage for you and your dependents as you were receiving as of the Separation
Date), the Company will pay the premiums for such continued coverage until the earlier of: (i) seven months following the Separation Date; or (ii) the date upon which you become eligible for group health insurance coverage from another
employer (and you hereby agree to promptly notify the Company if and when you become eligible). You will be provided with a separate notice describing your rights and obligations under the applicable state and/or federal insurance laws. 

4. Severance Payment. If: (a) you sign, date and return this Agreement to the Company on or within twenty-one (21) days and
allow it become effective, and (b) you comply with the terms of this Agreement and your other continuing obligations owed to the Company (including but not limited to those in the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 5.6
below)) (collectively, the “Obligations”), the Company will pay you cash severance in an amount equal to six (6) months of your base salary in effect as of November 1, 2014, subject to standard payroll deductions and
withholdings (the “Severance Payment”). The Severance Payment will be paid to you in substantially equal installments on the Company’s normal payroll periods beginning with the first regular payroll period following the
Effective Date of this Agreement (as defined in Section 13.4 below), provided, that, any payments scheduled to be paid before the Effective Date, will be delayed and paid without interest no sooner than the first payroll period following
the Effective Date, and all other payments of the Severance Payment shall be made on the scheduled payment dates. You agree and acknowledge that the Severance Payment will fully satisfy the Company’s obligations with regard to any severance
benefits that you may be eligible to receive from the Company (including but not limited to severance benefits under your Offer Letter Agreement with the Company dated May 30, 2013 (the “Employment Agreement”)). 

 November 28, 2014

 5. Consulting Agreement. In addition to the Severance Payment, if you satisfy the
Obligations in Section 4 above, the Company agrees to retain you, and you agree to provide consulting services for the Company, under the following terms and conditions (the “Consulting Relationship”): 

5.1 Consulting Period. The Consulting Relationship will commence on the Effective Date of this Agreement (as defined in
Section 13.4 below) and will continue for a period of thirteen (13) months, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 5.7 below or extended by written agreement between you and the Company (the “Consulting
Period”). Any agreement to extend the Consulting Period after the initial period must be set forth in writing signed by you and either the Chief Executive Officer or the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the
“Board”), and can extend the Consulting Period for only one additional month at a time. 
 5.2 Consulting Services.
You agree to provide remote consulting services to the Company in any area of your expertise, including but not limited to, transitioning outstanding projects, tasks and relationships to other Company personnel (the “Consulting
Services”). You will not be required to provide Consulting Services for more than eight (8) working hours in any month during the Consulting Period. You agree to render the Consulting Services in a professional manner and utilize your
expertise and creative talents in performing these services. You will not be required to report to the Company’s offices during the Consulting Period. When providing such services, you shall abide by the Company’s policies and procedures.
The Company agrees to promptly, and in any event within ten (10) business days, reimburse you for your preapproved (approval not to be unreasonably withheld), reasonable and documented expenses incurred in connection with your performance of
the Consulting Services. 
 5.3 Independent Contractor Relationship. Your relationship with the Company during the Consulting Period
will be that of an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or should be construed to, create a partnership, agency, joint venture or employment relationship after the Separation Date. Other than your COBRA rights, you
will not be entitled to any of the benefits which the Company may make available to its employees, including but not limited to, group health or life insurance, profit-sharing or retirement benefits, and you acknowledge and agree that your
relationship with the Company during the Consulting Period will not be subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act, the California Labor Code or other laws or regulations governing employment relationships. 

5.4 Consulting Fees. For each month during the Consulting Period, and provided that you remain in compliance with your obligations
hereunder and any other agreements or policies of the Company, you will receive as consulting fees the amount of (a) the target bonus percentage determined for executive officers of the Company for 2014 service multiplied by (b) $116,000,
divided by (c) thirteen (13) (“Consulting Fees”). Until such time as the 2014 target bonus percentage for executive officers has been determined, the Company shall pay your Consulting Fees based on an assumed target bonus
of 100%. Following the determination of the 2014 target bonus percentages for executive officers, the amount of any previous overpayment or underpayment of Consulting Fees to you shall be calculated based on the difference between the amount of
Consulting Fees actually paid to you prior to the date of determination of target bonus percentages for executive officers and the amount of Consulting Fees you would have been entitled to receive prior to the date of determination of target bonus
percentages for executive officers based on the actual 2014 target bonuses percentages determined for executive officers, and any such overpayment shall be subtracted from or any such underpayment shall be added to, as applicable, your future
Consulting Fees on an equal basis over the remaining months of your Consulting

Period. Each payment will be issued within fifteen (15) days of the end of the month of service provided. Because you will be providing the Consulting Services as an independent contractor,
the Company will not withhold any amount for taxes, social security or other payroll deductions from the Consulting Fees. The Company will report the Consulting Fees on an IRS Form 1099. You acknowledge that you will be entirely responsible for
payment of any taxes that may be due on the Consulting Fees. 
 5.5 Limitations on Authority. You will have no responsibilities or
authority as a consultant to the Company other than as provided above. You will have no authority to bind the Company to any contractual obligations, whether written, oral or implied, except with the written authorization of the Chairman of the
Board. You agree not to represent or purport to represent the Company in any manner whatsoever to any third party unless authorized by the Company, in writing, to do so. 

5.6 Proprietary Information and Inventions. You agree that, during the Consulting Period and thereafter, you will not use or disclose,
other than in furtherance of the Consulting Services, any confidential or proprietary information or materials of the Company, including any confidential or proprietary information that you obtain or develop in the course of performing the
Consulting Services. Any and all work product you create in the course of performing the Consulting Services (if any) will be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. You hereby assign to the Company all right, title, and interest in all
inventions, techniques, processes, materials, and other intellectual property developed in the course of performing the Consulting Services. You further acknowledge and reaffirm your continuing obligations under your signed Proprietary Information
and Inventions Agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

5.7 Other Work Activities. 

(a) Throughout the Consulting Period, and subject to this Section 5.7, you retain the right to engage in employment, consulting,
or other work relationships in addition to your Consulting Services for the Company. You acknowledge and agree that you have had access to competitively valuable trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information during the course of your
work for the Company (including but not limited to information regarding the Company’s products, business plans, sales and marketing plans, research and development, finances, operations and personnel). Therefore, in order to protect the trade
secrets and confidential and proprietary information of the Company, you agree that, during the Consulting Period, you will not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of either the Chief Executive Officer or the Chairman of the
Board, own, manage, operate, join, control, finance or participate in the ownership, management, operation, control or financing of, or be connected as an officer, director, employee, partner, principal, agent, investor, representative, or
consultant, in any locations worldwide, of any person or entity that at any time while you are providing Consulting Services is engaged in clinical pharmacogenetic testing (“Competitive Activity”). If you engage in such competitive
activity without the express written consent of either the Chief Executive Officer or the Chairman of the Board, or otherwise materially breach this Agreement or your obligations under any other agreements or policies of the Company (including but
not limited to the Confidentiality Agreement), the Company shall terminate this Consulting Relationship, and its obligation to pay you any unpaid portion of the Severance Payment and Consulting Fees will cease immediately. In the event that it is
unclear to you whether a particular business entity or activity is competitive with the Company, you agree to contact either the Chief Executive Officer or the Chairman of the Board to seek clarification. The Company agrees to consider and promptly
respond in writing to any request you submit for clarification or a waiver of the Company’s rights under this Section 5.7. Any such written response provided to you by the Company shall be considered to be final and binding upon the
Company.

 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may make and retain investments, for investment
purposes only, in less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding capital stock of any publicly-traded corporation engaged in a Competitive Activity if the stock of such corporation is listed on a national securities exchange and if you are not
otherwise associated with such corporation. 
 6. Equity. The Company confirms and agrees that it shall not exercise its rights
arising pursuant to Section 1.9 of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization by and among the Company, Project Guardian Acquisition Corp., IDGenetix, Inc., and Jorge Garces as Stockholders’ Representative, as amended pursuant to
that First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated as of June 13, 2014 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) to redeem your shares of Common Stock of the Company or to terminate your Warrant (as
defined below) as a result of the termination of your employment with the Company. All other rights of the Company to redeem your equity and/or to terminate your Warrant arising pursuant to the Merger Agreement (including those set forth in
Section 1.9(A) resulting from any breach by you of Section 2 of your Confidentiality Agreement) shall remain in full force and effect. You also acknowledge your obligation to enter into a form of lockup agreement with respect to all shares
of capital stock of the Company owned by you pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Stockholders Agreement (as defined below) and you further agree to enter into a form of lockup agreement in connection with any firm commitment underwritten public
offering of the Company’s Common Stock to the extent requested by the Company and any underwriter, provided that the terms of such agreement comply with Section 3.3(a) and 3.3(b) of the Stockholders Agreement. 

7. No Other Compensation or Benefits. You acknowledge that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, you have not earned and
will not receive from the Company any additional compensation (including base salary, bonus, incentive compensation, variable compensation/commission, or profit sharing), severance, or benefits prior to, on or after the Separation Date, with the
exception of any vested benefits you may have under the express terms of a written ERISA-qualified benefit plan (e.g., 401(k) account). 

8. Expense Reimbursements. You agree that, within thirty (30) days following the Separation Date, you will submit your final
documented expense reimbursement statement reflecting all business expenses you incurred through the Separation Date, if any, for which you seek reimbursement. The Company will reimburse you for these expenses pursuant to its regular business
practice. 
 9. Return of Company Property. By the close of business on the Separation Date, or at any other time if requested by the
Company, you agree to return to the Company all Company documents (and all copies thereof) and other Company property which you have in your possession or control, including but not limited to any materials of any kind which contain or embody any
proprietary or confidential information of the Company (and all reproductions thereof in whole or in part). You agree that you will make a diligent search to locate any such documents, property and information within the required timeframe. In
addition, if you have used any personally owned computer, smartphone, tablet, handheld device, server, or e-mail system to receive, store, review, prepare or transmit any Company confidential or proprietary data, materials or information, then
within five (5) business days after the Separation Date, you must provide the Company with a computer-useable copy of such information and then permanently delete and expunge such Company confidential or proprietary information from those
devices and systems without retaining any reproductions (in whole or in part). The Company will provide you with access to Company property, as necessary, to the extent needed for you to perform your Consulting Services; provided that you must
return such Company property upon request and not later than the last day of the Consulting Period.

 10. Mutual Nondisparagement. You agree not to disparage the Company, and the
Company’s officers, directors, employees, shareholders, investors and agents, in any manner likely to be harmful to them or their business, business reputation or personal reputation, and the Company (through its officers and directors) agrees
not to disparage you in any manner likely to be harmful to your business reputation or personal reputation; provided that the parties may respond accurately and fully to any question, inquiry or request for information when required by legal
process (e.g., a valid subpoena or other similar compulsion of law) or as part of a government investigation. 
 11. No
Admissions. The promises and payments in consideration of this Agreement shall not be construed to be an admission of any liability or obligation by either party to the other party, and neither party makes any such admission. 

12. Cooperation and Assistance. You agree that you will not voluntarily provide assistance, information or advice, directly or
indirectly (including through agents or attorneys), to any person or entity in connection with any claim or cause of action of any kind brought against the Company, nor shall you induce or encourage any person or entity to bring such claims.
However, it will not violate this Agreement if you testify truthfully when required to do so by a valid subpoena or under similar compulsion of law, or respond accurately and fully to any question, inquiry or request for information when required by
legal process (e.g., a valid subpoena or other similar compulsion of law) or as part of a government investigation. Further, you agree to voluntarily cooperate with the Company, if you have knowledge of facts relevant to any threatened or
pending claim, investigation, audit or litigation against or by the Company, by making yourself reasonably available without further compensation (other than your preapproved (approval not to be unreasonably withheld), reasonable and documented
expenses for travel and lodging, for which the Company agrees to reimburse you promptly, and in any event within ten (10) business days) for interviews with the Company or its legal counsel, for preparing for and providing deposition testimony,
and for preparing for and providing trial testimony. 
 13. Release of Claims.  

13.1 General Release. In exchange for the consideration provided to you under this Agreement to which you would not otherwise be
entitled, including but not limited to the Severance Payment and the Consulting Relationship, you hereby generally and completely release the Company and its current and former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, agents,

present, you acknowledge that you have read and understand Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the
creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” You hereby expressly waive and
relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law or legal principle of similar effect in any jurisdiction with respect to your release of claims herein, including but not limited to the release of unknown and unsuspected claims.

 14. Representations. You hereby represent that you have been paid all compensation owed and for all time worked, you have received

compensation claim. 
 15. Miscellaneous. This Agreement, including Exhibit A, constitutes the complete, final and
exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between you and the Company with regard to the subject matter hereof. It is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation, written or oral, other than those expressly contained herein,
and it supersedes any other agreements, promises, warranties or representations concerning its subject matter (including but not limited to those in the Employment Agreement). This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in a writing signed
by both you and a duly authorized officer of the Company. This Agreement will bind the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of both you and the Company, and inure to the benefit of both you and the Company, their heirs, successors
and assigns. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, this determination shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement and the provision in question shall be modified so as to be
rendered enforceable in a manner consistent with the intent of the parties insofar as possible under applicable law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of
law principles. Any ambiguity in this Agreement shall not be construed against either party as the drafter. Any waiver of a breach of this Agreement, or rights hereunder, shall be in writing and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any successive
breach or rights hereunder. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts which shall be deemed to be part of one original, and facsimile and PDF signatures shall be equivalent to original signatures.

 EXHIBIT A 

PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT 

This Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Shannon Blalock (“Employee”), on the
one hand, and AltheaDx, Inc. (together with its parent, subsidiary and affiliated corporations and entities, and their successors and assigns, the “Company”), on the other hand. 

WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in a continuous program of research, development and production; 

WHEREAS, the Employee is employed by the Company and is expected to make new contributions and inventions of value to the Company; and 

WHEREAS, Employee’s employment creates a relationship of confidence and trust between the Employee and the Company with respect to confidential business
information. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations set forth below, and for other valuable consideration, including
Employee’s employment and/or continued employment and compensation received by Employee from the Company, Employee and the Company agree as follows: 

1. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. 
 a.
Employee understands that, by virtue of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee will acquire and be exposed to Proprietary Information of the Company. “Proprietary Information” includes all ideas, information and materials,
tangible or intangible, not generally known to the public, relating in any manner to the business of the Company, its products and services (including all trade secrets), its personnel (including its officers, directors, employees, and contractors),
its clients, vendors and suppliers and all others with whom it does business that Employee learns about or acquires during Employee’s employment with the Company. Proprietary Information includes, but is not limited to, manuals, documents,
computer programs and software used by the Company, all formulas or processes, know-how, improvements, techniques, marketing plans, strategies, forecasts, user manuals, compilations of technical, financial, legal or other data, salary information,
client or prospective client or customer lists, names of suppliers or vendors, client, supplier or vendor contact information, customer contact information, business referral sources, specifications, designs, devices, inventions, business or
marketing plans or strategies, pricing information, mock-ups, prototypes, and works in progress, all other research and development information, forecasts, financial information, and all other technical or business information. Proprietary
Information does not include publicly available information or information that is generally known and used within the biotechnology research industry in which the Company engages in business. 

b. Employee agrees to hold in trust and confidence all Proprietary Information during and after the period of Employee’s employment with
the Company. 

  
 A-1 

 
Employee shall not use or disclose any Proprietary Information to anyone outside the Company for any purpose other than for the benefit of the Company as required by Employee’s authorized
duties for the Company. At all times during Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee shall comply with all of the Company’s policies and procedures relating to the protection and confidentiality of Proprietary Information. Upon
termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, (a) Employee shall not use or disclose Proprietary Information to anyone, for any purpose, unless expressly requested to do so in writing by an authorized officer of the Company,
(b) Employee shall not retain or take with Employee any Proprietary Information in a Tangible Form (defined below), and (c) Employee shall immediately deliver to the Company any Proprietary Information in a Tangible Form that Employee may
then or thereafter hold or control, as well as all other property, equipment, documents or things that Employee was issued or otherwise received or obtained during Employee’s employment with the Company. “Tangible Form” includes
ideas, information or materials in written or graphic form, on a computer disc or other medium, or otherwise stored in or available through electronic, magnetic, videotape or other form. 

2. COMPETING ACTIVITIES. 
 To
protect the Company’s Proprietary Information and to avoid conflicts of interest, during Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee shall not engage in any activity that is or may be competitive with the Company in any city, county,
parish or state in the United States, where the Company engages in business, whether or not for compensation; provided, however, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting Employee’s ability to engage in any lawful off-duty
conduct. 
 3. RETURN OF DOCUMENTS AND MATERIALS. 

Immediately upon the termination of Employee’s employment or at any time prior thereto if requested by the Company, Employee shall return
all documents, data, records, apparatus, equipment, chemicals, molecules, organisms and other physical property, proposals, notes, lists, files, and any and all other materials, including but not limited to Proprietary Information in a Tangible
Form, that refers, relates or otherwise pertains to the Company and its business, including its products and services, personnel, customers or clients (actual or potential), investors (actual or potential), and/or vendors and suppliers (actual or
potential), and any and all business dealings with said persons and entities (the “Returned Property and Equipment”) to the Company. Employee is not authorized to retain any copies or duplicates of the Returned Property and Equipment or
any Proprietary Information that Employee obtained or received as a result of Employee’s employment or other relationships with the Company. 

4. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION OF OTHERS. 

Employee shall not, during employment with the Company, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former
or concurrent employer, or other person or entity. The Employee will not bring to the Company any such proprietary or trade secret ideas, information or materials belonging to such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such
employer, person or entity. 

  
 A-2 

 5. INVENTIONS. 

a. Employee hereby assigns, and irrevocably agrees to assign, to the Company all patents, rights, title and interest in and to all work
performed, and all materials, creations, designs, technology, discoveries, inventions, ideas, information and other subject matter (whether or not patentable or copyrightable), conceived, developed or created by Employee, alone or with others,
during the period of Employee’s employment with the Company, including, but limited to, all copyrighted, trade secret, patent, trademark and other intellectual property rights, subject to the exclusions of Section 5(b)
(“Inventions”). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Inventions shall be deemed works made for hire, and all rights, title and interest in and to the Inventions shall vest automatically in the Company. The Company shall have
the sole right, in its own name, to obtain, hold, register and otherwise perfect, protect and enforce (including bringing actions for past or future infringement of) all rights relating to the Inventions, including, but not limited to, any renewals
or extensions thereof. Employee shall, whether during or after Employee’s employment with the Company, (1) notify the Company of any Inventions, and deliver to the Company the Tangible Form of all Inventions (including any copies) and
(2) provide the Company and any person designated by the Company, at the Company’s expense, any assistance and cooperation requested by the Company to obtain, hold, register and otherwise perfect, protect and enforce (including brining
actions for past or future infringement of) all rights relating to the Inventions, including, but not limited to, executing written instruments and serving as a witness. If, in breach of Employee’s obligations under this Agreement, Employee
uses any Proprietary Information in conceiving, developing or creating any materials, creations, designs, technology, discoveries, inventions, ideas, information or other subject matter after the termination of Employee’s employment with the
Company, Employee acknowledges and agrees that such subject matter constitutes Inventions subject to this assignment requirement and all other terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

b. Employee understands that Inventions (as defined above) do not include subject matter that meets all of the following criteria: (1) is
conceived, developed and created by Employee on Employee’s own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies or facilities or any Proprietary Information, (2) is unrelated to the actual or reasonably anticipated business or
research and development of the Company of which Employee is or becomes aware, and (3) does not result from any work performed by Employee for the Company; provided, further, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require Employee to
assign to the Company any Inventions that are excluded from any such assignment under California Labor Code section 2870. A copy of California Labor Code section 2870 is reproduced under Exhibit 1. Employee shall be deemed to be aware of all
activities of the Company. 
 c. To avoid any misunderstanding, Employee has listed on Exhibit 2: (1) all materials, creations,
designs, technology, discoveries, inventions, ideas, information and other subject matter, including, but not limited to, copyrights, trade secrets, patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights, if any, developed or created by
Employee, alone or with others, before the period of Employee’s employment with the Company in which Employee claims any ownership or rights, and (2) all agreements or arrangements that may affect the rights to any such subject matter or
Employee’s ability to be employed by and perform services for the Company and comply with the requirements of this Agreement. Employee acknowledges and agrees that (i) by not listing particular subject matter, Employee is warranting that
the subject matter was not

agreements or arrangements exist. 
 6. SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES 

Employee agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of Employee’s relationship with the
Company for any reason, whether or without cause, Employee shall not use the Company’s Proprietary Information to directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s employees or consultants to leave their
employment, or to attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, or encourage the Company’s employees or consultants to leave their employment, for any reason. 

7. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON BREACH. 

If Employee breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this Agreement, Employee agrees that, in aid of arbitration
and as a provisional remedy (or permanent remedy ordered by an arbitrator), the Company shall have the right to have each and every one of the covenants in this Agreement specifically enforced and to obtain temporary and permanent injunctive relief,
it being acknowledged and agreed by Employee that any breach or threatened breach of any of the covenants and agreements contained herein would cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy at
law to the Company. In any proceeding seeking to enforce Sections 1 through 6 of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, including expert fees, which were incurred by
that party in connection with any such proceeding. 
 8. SEVERABILITY. 

Employee acknowledges and agrees that (a) the covenants and agreements contained herein are reasonable and valid, and do not impose
limitations greater than are necessary to protect the goodwill, Proprietary Information, and other business interests of the Company; and (b) if one or more of the provisions in this Agreement are deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remainder
of the Agreement shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid portions. 
 9. CONFIRMATION OF
AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT. 
 Unless Employee and the Company have otherwise entered into an express, written employment contract or agreement for
a specified term, Employee and the Company agree that: (a) Employee’s employment with the Company is and shall be at all times on an at-will basis, and the Company or Employee may terminate Employee’s employment at any time, for any
reason, with or without cause or advance notice; (b) nothing in this Agreement or in the Company’s employee manuals, handbooks or other written materials, and no oral statements or representations of any Company officer, director, agent or
employee, create or are intended to create an express or implied contract for employment or continuing employment; and (c) nothing in the Agreement obligates the Company to hire, retain or promote Employee.

 10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT/MODIFICATION 

This Agreement (a) represent the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, (b) shall supersede any
and all previous contracts, arrangements or understandings between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and (c) may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties hereto.

 11. GOVERNING LAW. 
 This
Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of California regardless of choice of law principles. 

12. PARTIES IN INTEREST/ASSIGNMENT/SURVIVAL. 

Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by
operation of law or otherwise, by Employee. The Company may sell, assign, and transfer all of its right, title and interests in this Agreement without the prior consent of Employee, whether by operation of law or otherwise, in which case this
Agreement shall remain in full force after such sale, assignment or other transfer and may be enforced by (a) any successor, assignee or transferee of all or any part of the Company’s business as fully and completely as it could be
enforced by the Company if no such sale, assignment or transfer had occurred, and (b) the Company in the case of any sale, assignment or other transfer of a part, but not all, of the business. The benefits under this Agreement shall inure to
and may be enforced by the Company, and its parent, subsidiary and affiliated corporations and entities, and their successors, transferees and assigns.
