Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 amends the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 25, 2022 by Singular Genomics Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), in connection with this offer to exchange on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Exchange Eligible Option(s) for New Option(s) dated July 25, 2022 (the “Exchange Offer”).

This Amendment No. 1 is being filed solely to report the results of the Exchange Offer and to amend and supplement Item 4(a) of the Schedule TO under the caption “Material Terms” to report such results. Except as otherwise noted below, no changes have been made to the Schedule TO. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Schedule TO and the Exchange Offer. All capitalized terms used herein have the same meanings as given in the Exchange Offer.

 

Item 4.

Terms of the Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information under the caption “Material Terms”:

The Exchange Offer expired at 6:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on Friday, August 19, 2022. Pursuant to the Exchange Offer, 142 Eligible Holders elected to exchange Eligible Options for New Options, and the Company accepted for cancellation Eligible Options to purchase an aggregate of 984,291 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, representing 100% of the total shares of Common Stock underlying the Eligible Options outstanding as of the Expiration Time. On August 19, 2022, following the expiration of the Exchange Offer, the Company granted New Options to purchase 984,291 shares of Common Stock to the Eligible Holders who elected to exchange Eligible Options for New Options, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Offer and the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. The exercise price of the New Options granted pursuant to the Exchange Offer was $3.60 per share, which was the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Stock as reported on The Nasdaq Global Select Market for the 20 consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to the grant of the New Options. The vesting terms of the New Options are described in detail in the Exchange Offer.
