Recapitalization	3. Recapitalization As discussed in Note 1, “Organization and Description of Business,” on the Closing Date, VGAC completed the acquisition of 23andMe, Inc. and acquired 100% of 23andMe, Inc.’s shares and 23andMe, Inc. received gross proceeds of $559.7 million, which includes $309.7 million in proceeds from issuance of common stock upon the consummation of the Merger and $250.0 million in proceeds from the PIPE Investment (as defined below). The Company recorded $33.7 million of transaction costs, which consisted of legal, accounting, and other professional services directly related to the Business Combination. These costs were included in additional paid-in capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The cash outflows related to these costs were presented as financing activities on the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows. These deferred offering costs are offset against proceeds upon accounting for the consummation of the Merger. On the Closing Date, each holder of 23andMe, Inc. Class A common stock received approximately 2.293698169 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and each holder of 23andMe, Inc. Class B common stock received approximately 2.293698169 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. See Note 12, “Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock” and Note 13, “Common Stock and Warrants,” for additional details of the Company’s stockholders’ equity prior to and subsequent to the Merger. All equity awards of 23andMe, Inc. were assumed by the Company and converted into comparable equity awards that are settled or exercisable for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. As a result, each outstanding stock option was converted into an option to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock based on an exchange ratio of 2.293698169, and each outstanding restricted stock unit was converted into restricted stock units of the Company that, upon vesting, may be settled for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock based on an exchange ratio of 2.293698169. Each public and private warrant of VGAC that was unexercised at the time of the Merger was assumed by the Company and represented the right to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock upon exercise of such warrant. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization with 23andMe, Inc. as the accounting acquirer and VGAC as the acquired company for accounting purposes. 23andMe, Inc. was determined to be the accounting acquirer since 23andMe, Inc.’s stockholders prior to the Merger had the greatest voting interest in the combined entity, 23andMe, Inc.’s stockholders appointed the initial directors of the combined Board of Directors and control future appointments, 23andMe, Inc. comprises all of the ongoing operations, and 23andMe, Inc.’s senior management directs operations of the combined entity. Accordingly, all historical financial information presented in these consolidated financial statements represents the accounts of 23andMe, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. Net assets were stated at historical cost consistent with the treatment of the transaction as a reverse recapitalization of 23andMe, Inc. Lock-up and Earn-Out Shares Pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws, shares of Class A common stock received as consideration in connection with the Merger (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock) could not be sold or otherwise disposed of or hedged by its stockholders for a period of 180 days after the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”). Except with respect to securities subject to the Sponsor Letter Agreement (as defined below) or as otherwise restricted by applicable securities laws or Company policies, following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period on December 14, 2021, the Company’s stockholders were no longer restricted from selling securities held by them. Pursuant to a Letter Agreement (the “VGAC IPO Letter Agreement”) entered into on October 1, 2020 by and among VGAC, VG Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), and the then officers and directors of VGAC (collectively, the “VGAC Insiders”), as amended by a Sponsor Letter Agreement (the “Sponsor Letter Agreement”), dated as of February 4, 2021, by and among 23andMe, Inc., VGAC, the Sponsor, the VGAC Insiders and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC as representative of the several underwriters named in the underwriting agreement with respect to the initial public offering of VGAC (the “Underwriters”), the VGAC Insiders agreed to certain transfer restrictions applicable to 12,713,750 of the Class B ordinary shares of VGAC held by the Sponsor and VGAC Insiders (the “Founder Shares”), which were converted in the Business Combination to a like number of shares of Class A common stock of the Company. Pursuant to the VGAC IPO Letter Agreement, as amended by the Sponsor Letter Agreement, 70% of the Founder Shares cannot be transferred (subject to certain limited exceptions) until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the Closing Date, or (ii) the date following the completion of the Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, or other similar transaction that results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities, or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading-day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination, 70% of the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up. As of March 31, 2022, the Company did not meet any thresholds for the shares to be released from lock-up. The Founders Shares are issued and outstanding Class A common shares that cannot be forfeited, and as such meet the criteria for equity classification in accordance with ASC 505, Equity (“ASC 505”). Following the closing of the Merger, 3,814,125 of the Class B ordinary shares of VGAC held by the Sponsor as of the date of the Sponsor Letter Agreement (the “Earn-Out Shares”), which constitute the remaining 30% of the Founder Shares, and were converted in the Business Combination into a like number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, are subject to a lock-up of seven years. The lock-up has an early release effective (i) with respect to 50% of the Earn-Out Shares, upon the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock equaling or exceeding $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading-day period, and (ii) with respect to the other 50% of the Earn-Out Shares, upon the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock equaling or exceeding $15.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading-day period; provided that the transfer restrictions applicable to the Earn-Out Shares will terminate on the date following the closing date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, capital stock exchange, reorganization, or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities, or other property (a “Liquidation Event”), if such Liquidation Event occurs prior to the date that the stock price thresholds referenced in (i) and (ii) are met. As of March 31, 2022, the Company did not meet any earn out thresholds. The Earn-Out Shares are issued and outstanding Class A common shares that cannot be forfeited, and as such meet the criteria for equity classification in accordance with ASC 505. PIPE Investment On February 4, 2021, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, VGAC entered into subscription agreements with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) to which such investors collectively subscribed for an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at $10.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $250.0 million (the “PIPE Investment”). The Anne Wojcicki Foundation, which subscribed for 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, is affiliated with the Company’s CEO and therefore a related party.
