Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Khosla Ventures Acquisition Co. (“KVSA”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On June 9, 2021, KVSA entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Valo Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Valo”), Valo Health, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Valo Holdco” and, together with Valo, the “Valo Parties”) and Killington Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of KVSA (“Merger Sub”).

On June 9, 2021, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, KVSA entered into subscription agreements (the “PIPE I Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (collectively, the “PIPE I Investors”), pursuant to, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, the PIPE I Investors have collectively subscribed for 16,855,000 shares of KVSA Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“KVSA Common Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price equal to $168,550,000 (the “PIPE I Investment”). The PIPE I Investment will be consummated substantially concurrently with the closing of the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”).

On July 30, 2021, KVSA entered into additional subscription agreements (the “PIPE II Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (collectively, the “PIPE II Investors”), pursuant to, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, the PIPE II Investors have collectively subscribed for an additional 3,231,250 shares of KVSA Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price equal to $32,312,500 (the “PIPE II Investment”). The PIPE II Investment will be consummated substantially concurrently with the Closing.

The PIPE II Subscription Agreements for the PIPE II Investors are substantially the same as the PIPE I Subscription Agreement, including with respect to certain registration rights. In particular, KVSA is required to no later than 30 calendar days following the Closing, submit to or file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement registering the resale of such shares. Additionally, KVSA is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day following the Closing if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the registration statement and (ii) the fifth business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. The Company must use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement effective until the earliest of: (a) the date the PIPE II Investors no longer hold any registrable shares, (b) the date all registrable shares held by the PIPE II Investors may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 and (c) two years from the date of effectiveness of the registration statement.

The PIPE II Subscription Agreements will terminate with no further force and effect upon the earliest to occur of: (i) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; (ii) the mutual written agreement of the parties to such PIPE II Subscription Agreement; (iii) if any of the conditions to closing set forth in such PIPE II Subscription Agreements are not satisfied on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by the PIPE II Subscription Agreements fail to occur; and (iv) at the election of the investor, January 26, 2022, if the Closing has not occurred on or before such date.

The foregoing description of the PIPE II Subscription Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of subscription agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to KVSA’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 9, 2021, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the PIPE II Investment is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.02. The shares of KVSA Common Stock to be issued in connection with the PIPE II Investment will not be registered under the Securities Act, and will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements thereof provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

This Current Report on Form 8-K relates to a proposed transaction between KVSA and Valo. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or exchange, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange, any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or exchange would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. In connection with the proposed transaction, KVSA filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC on July 1, 2021, which includes a document that serves as a prospectus and proxy statement of KVSA, referred to as a proxy statement/prospectus. A proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to


all KVSA stockholders. KVSA also will file other documents regarding the proposed transaction with the SEC. Before making any voting decision, investors and security holders of KVSA are urged to read the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction as they become available because they will contain important information about the proposed transaction.

Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by KVSA through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

The documents filed by KVSA with the SEC also may be obtained free of charge at KVSA’s website at https://khoslaventuresacquisitionco.com/kvsa.

Participants in Solicitation

KVSA and Valo and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from KVSA’s stockholders in connection with the proposed transaction. A list of the names of such directors and executive officers and information regarding their interests in the business combination is contained in the proxy statement/prospectus. You may obtain free copies of these documents as described in the preceding paragraph.

Non-Solicitation

This Current Report on Form 8-K is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential transaction and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of KVSA, the combined company or Valo, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed transaction between KVSA and Valo. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of KVSA’s securities, (ii) the risk that the transaction may not be completed by KVSA’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by KVSA, (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction, including the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of KVSA, the satisfaction of the minimum trust account amount following redemptions by KVSA’s public stockholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals, (iv) the lack of a third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed transaction, (v) the inability to complete the PIPE II investment in connection with the transaction, (vi) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, (vii) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on Valo’s business relationships, operating results and business generally, (viii) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of Valo and potential difficulties in Valo employee retention as a result of the transaction, (ix) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Valo or against KVSA related to the Merger Agreement or the proposed transaction, (x) the ability to maintain the listing of KVSA’s securities on a national securities exchange, (xi) the price of KVSA’s securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which KVSA plans to operate or Valo operates, variations in operating performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting KVSA’s or Valo’s


business and changes in the combined capital structure, (xii) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities, and (xiii) the risk of downturns and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive healthcare industry. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of KVSA’s registration on Form S-1 (File No. 333-253096), the registration statement on Form S-4 discussed above and other documents filed by KVSA from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and KVSA and Valo assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither KVSA nor Valo gives any assurance that either KVSA or Valo or the combined company will achieve its expectations.
