Introductory Note
As previously announced, on January 18, 2022, Sema4 Holdings Corp. (the “Company” or “Sema4”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated January 14, 2022 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, GeneDx, Inc. (“GeneDx”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OPKO Health, Inc. (“OPKO”), OPKO, Orion Merger Sub I, Inc. (“Merger Sub I”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Orion Merger Sub II, LLC (“Merger Sub II” and together with Merger Sub I, “Merger Subs”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and GeneDx Holding 2, Inc. (“Holdco”), which provided for, among other things, the Company’s acquisition of GeneDx. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers (as defined below), are referred to herein as the “Acquisition”. On April 29, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), following approvals by the stockholders of the Company at a special meeting held on April 27, 2022 (the “Special Meeting”), the Mergers were consummated (the “Closing”) and the Company took various other actions, as discussed further below.
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Transition Services Agreement
In connection with the Closing, GeneDx and OPKO entered into a Transition Services Agreement dated as of April 29, 2022 (the “Transition Services Agreement”) pursuant to which OPKO has agreed to provide, at cost, certain services in support of the acquisition of the GeneDx business through December 31, 2022, subject to certain limited exceptions, in order to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including human resources, information technology support, and finance and accounting.
The foregoing description of the Transition Services Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Transition Services Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On April 29, 2022, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub I merged with and into HoldCo (the “First Merger”), with HoldCo being the surviving entity of the First Merger and following the First Merger, HoldCo merged with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II being the surviving entity of this second merger (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of HoldCo common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive the following consideration (such aggregate consideration, the “Merger Consideration”), with OPKO receiving, subject to the Merger Agreement’s escrow fund provisions described above, (i) $150 million in cash, subject to adjustment at Closing pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (the “Cash Consideration”) and (ii) 80 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Stock Consideration”). OPKO will also be entitled to receive, if and only to the extent payable, up to $150 million if certain revenue-based milestones are achieved for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023 (the “Milestone Payments”). As previously disclosed, each Milestone Payment, if and to the extent earned under the terms of the Merger Agreement, will be satisfied through the payment and/or issuance of a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (valued at $4.86 per share based on the average of the daily volume average weighted price of the Class A common stock over the period of 30 trading days ended January 12, 2022), with such mix to be determined in the Company’s sole discretion.
The Milestone Payment in respect of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 is subject to acceleration on the terms described in the Merger Agreement.
The parties have also provided for an indemnification escrow consisting of a mix of cash and shares of the Company’s Class A common stock for certain indemnifiable matters pursuant to the terms of, and subject to the applicable limitations set forth in, the Merger Agreement.
The description of the Merger Agreement and related transactions (including, without limitation, the Mergers) in this Report does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

OPKO and the PIPE Investors represented their intentions to acquire the shares for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution, and appropriate restrictive legends were affixed to the certificates representing all of the shares issued in the Acquisition and the PIPE Investment (or reflected in restricted book entry with the Company’s transfer agent). The parties also had adequate access, through business or other relationships, to information about the Company.
