See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of and percentages of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person.

As a result of the consummation of the transaction between the Issuer and SomaLogic (as reported in the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on January 5, 2024), the Reporting Persons' beneficial ownership of Common Stock has been reduced below 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
