NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Company Information

Tempus AI, Inc., together with the subsidiaries through which it conducts business (the “Company”), is a healthcare technology company focused on bringing artificial intelligence and machine learning to healthcare in order to improve the care of patients across multiple diseases. The Company combines the results of laboratory tests with other multimodal datasets to improve patient care by supporting all parties in the healthcare ecosystem, including physicians, researchers, payers, and pharmaceutical companies. The Company primarily derives revenue from selling comprehensive genetic testing to physicians and large academic research institutions, licensing data to third parties, matching patients to clinical trials, and related services.

The Company, based in Chicago, Illinois, was founded by Eric P. Lefkofsky, the Company’s CEO and Executive Chairman, and evolved from a business Mr. Lefkofsky founded called Bioin. Bioin originally was established as a limited liability company. Effective September 21, 2015, Bioin converted its legal form to a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Bioin subsequently changed its legal name to Tempus Health, Inc. in September 2015, to Tempus Labs, Inc. in October 2016 and to Tempus AI, Inc. in December 2023. Effective August 7, 2025, the Company reincorporated, by conversion, from a Delaware corporation to a Nevada corporation.

Segment Information

The Company operates as one operating and reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its chief executive officer, who reviews financial information for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance and allocating resources. The Company’s CODM evaluates financial information on a consolidated basis.

The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net loss that is reported on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The CODM uses consolidated net loss to evaluate income generated from segment assets. Net loss is used to monitor budget versus actual results.

Outside of the expenses reported on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, the CODM regularly reviews personnel costs and cloud costs within selling, general, and administrative expenses, which the Company has identified as significant segment expenses.

The following summarizes the significant segment expenses reconciled to total selling, general and administrative expenses shown on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Other selling, general, and administrative expenses include facilities, professional fees, marketing, travel and entertainment, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation (see Note 12).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tempus AI, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial information and include the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of all wholly owned subsidiaries. Investments in unconsolidated entities in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, but has the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Investments in unconsolidated entities in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Certain information and disclosures

9


 

normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. Accordingly, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and reflect, in management’s opinion, all the adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any other period.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of June 30, 2025 and its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements.

The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents and marketable equity securities at June 30, 2025, inclusive of the proceeds from the Offering (as defined in Note 13) received in July 2025, will be sufficient to allow the Company to fund its current operating plan through at least a period of one year from the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As the Company continues to incur losses, its transition to profitability is dependent upon a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. Future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing and extent of spending on research and development activities and growth related expenditures.

Other than described in Note 4, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 that have had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Based on the aggregate market value of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock held by non-affiliates as of June 30, 2025, the Company expects to become a “large accelerated filer” and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2025.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates are related to revenue, accounts receivable, stock-based compensation, operating lease liabilities, the useful lives of property, equipment and intangible assets, and the cash flows used in determining the fair value of acquired intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09 requires additional disclosures aimed at enhancing the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company's disclosures. The Company plans to adopt the guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 on a prospective basis.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosures aimed at enhancing the transparency and decision usefulness of income statement expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 as well as interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on the related disclosures.

3.
REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company derives revenue from selling lab services (“Genomics”) to physicians, genetic counselors, academic research institutions, and other parties. The Company also derives revenue from the commercialization of data generated in the lab (“Data and services”) through the licensing of de-identified datasets to third parties and by providing clinical trial support, such as matching patients to clinical trials enrolled in its clinical trial network, and related services. The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated in North America.

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company commences revenue recognition when control of these products is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for such products. This principle is achieved by applying the five-step approach: (i) the Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, (ii) the rights of the parties are identified, (iii) payment terms are identified, (iv) the contract has commercial substance and (v) collectability of consideration is probable. Revenues and any contract assets are not recognized until such time that the required conditions are met.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company provides disaggregation of revenue based on Genomics and Data and services on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, as it believes these best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Genomics

The Company generally recognizes revenue for its Genomics product offering when it has met its performance obligation relating to an order. The Company has determined its sole performance obligation to be the delivery of the testing results to the ordering party. The Company receives payments from Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance for clinical orders and directly from research institutions, pharmaceutical companies or other third parties for direct bill orders. The Company recognized Genomics revenue of $241.8 million and $112.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recognized Genomics revenue of $435.6 million and $214.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

For clinical orders from Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance, the Company determines transaction price by reducing the standard charge by the estimated effects of any variable consideration, such as contractual allowance and implicit price concessions. The Company estimates the contractual allowances and implicit price concessions based on historical collections in relation to established rates, as well as known current or anticipated reimbursement trends not reflected in the historical data. Estimates are inclusive of the consideration to which the Company will be entitled at an amount for which it is probable that a reversal of cumulative consideration will not occur. The Company monitors the estimated amount to be collected at each reporting period based on actual cash collections in order to assess whether a revision to the estimate is required. Payment is typically due after the claim has been processed by the payer, generally 30-120 days from date of service. While management believes that the estimates are accurate, actual results could differ and the potential impact on the financial statements could be significant. The Company recognized revenue for clinical orders of $221.7 million and $101.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recognized revenue for clinical orders of $403.2 million and $195.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

For direct bill orders from research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, or other third parties, the Company determines the transaction prices based on established contractual rates with the customer, net of any applicable discounts. Payment is typically due between 30 and 60 days following the date of invoice. The Company recognized Genomics revenue for direct bill orders of $20.1 million and $10.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recognized Genomics revenue for direct bill orders of $32.4 million and $19.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Data and services

Data and services revenue primarily represents data licensing and clinical trial services that the Company provides to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. The Company’s arrangements with these customers often have terms that span multiple years. However, these contracts generally also include customer opt-in or early termination clauses after twelve months without contractual penalty. The customer’s option to renew is generally not viewed as a material right, and as a result, the Company’s contract period for these agreements is generally considered less than one year. The Company determines the transaction price based on established contractual rates with the customer, net of any applicable discounts. The Company recognizes revenue for its Data and services product offering when it has met its performance obligation under the terms of the agreement with the customer. The Company’s two product offerings are as follows:

Insights

The Company’s Insights product consists primarily of licensing and analysis of de-identified records. Each Insights contract is unique and may include multiple promises, including the delivery of licensed de-identified records, including refreshes, analytical services or access to the Company’s enhanced Lens application. The Company evaluates each contract to determine which performance obligations are capable of being distinct and separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, represent distinct performance obligations. The actual timing of data deliveries can be based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the customer’s requirement and/or the Company’s technological, operational, and human capital capacity; in addition, management assesses relevant contractual terms in contracts with customers and applies significant judgment in identifying and accounting for all terms and conditions in certain contracts. The transaction price is allocated to the distinct performance obligations and revenue is recognized once the performance obligation has been fulfilled. The standalone selling prices are based on the Company’s normal pricing practices when sold separately with consideration of market conditions and other factors, including customer demographics.

The Company has determined that the delivery of de-identified records and, when applicable, analytical services, and access to its enhanced Lens application are separate and distinct performance obligations. The primary Insights contract types are as follows:

Data licensing on a one-time or limited duration basis – Customer licenses a specific dataset of records, and the Company accounts for individual licensed data records as a right to use license. Revenue is typically recognized upon delivery of the data to the customer, as the Company’s obligations for an individual record is complete once the data has been delivered, and the customer is able to benefit from the provision of data as it is received.
Multi-year data subscriptions – Customer licenses de-identified records, and the Company accounts for the service as a right to access license and one performance obligation. Revenue is recognized as access to the dataset is provided, ratably over-time, with the measure of progress time-based.
Analytical services and other services – Services typically involve data analysis and research performed on behalf of the customer by the Company. The resulting delivery of data, or a report addressing a series of questions and analytical results, is considered a single performance obligation. Revenue is generally recognized upon the delivery of these services, as defined by the contract.
Enhanced Lens application subscription services – Customer licenses access to the Company’s enhanced Lens application under a software-as-a-service model. Customers do not have the right to take possession of the Lens platform application,

12


 

and the online software product is fully functional once a customer has access. Lens subscription revenues are recognized ratably over the contract terms beginning on the date the Company’s service is made available to the customer. For the periods presented, revenue from Lens subscription services are not material.
Cloud hosting services – The Company provides cloud hosting services to customers via a third party cloud infrastructure provider. Revenue is recognized as the related compute and storage costs are incurred by the customer.

The Company recognized revenue from Insights products of $57.2 million and $40.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively and $106.7 million and $72.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Trials

The Company’s Trials product includes TIME clinical trial matching services and other clinical trial services.

TIME consists primarily of matching patients to clinical trial sponsors of a potential match. To the extent the contract requires, the Company may also assist in opening the clinical trial site and enrolling the patient in the clinical trial. The Company has determined that, depending on the type of agreement, the performance obligation of these contracts is the delivery of a notification or the enrollment of a patient in a clinical trial. As such, revenue is recognized upon one of the following: delivery of a notification to the physician alerting them to a clinical trial match, or once a patient is enrolled in a trial. Concurrently, the customer, which is the clinical trial sponsor, also receives notification from the Company to establish the performance obligations delivered or fulfilled for the billing period.

In addition to TIME, the Company provides other clinical trial services conducting or supporting studies. Tempus Compass LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, is a contract research organization ("CRO"), which manages and executes early and late-stage clinical trials, primarily in oncology. Contracts for clinical trial services can take the form of fee-for-service or fixed-price contracts. Fee-for-service contracts are typically priced based on time and materials, and revenue is recognized based on hours and materials used as the services are provided. Fixed-price contracts generally represent a single performance obligation and are recognized over-time using a cost-based input method. Progress on the performance obligation is measured by the proportion of actual costs incurred to the total costs expected to complete the contract. This cost-based method of revenue recognition requires the Company to make estimates of costs to complete its projects on an ongoing basis. Contract costs principally include direct labor and reimbursable out-of-pocket costs.

The Company recognized revenue from Trials products of $9.8 million and $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively and $19.5 million and $21.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

For Insights and Trials arrangements, pricing is fixed and the Company may be compensated through a combination of an upfront payment and performance-based, non-refundable payments due upon completion of the stated performance obligation(s). Payment is generally due 60 to 90 days after the date of service. The Company has no significant obligations for refunds, warranties, or similar obligations for Data and services product offerings. The Company has elected the practical expedient, which allows the Company to not disclose remaining performance obligations for contracts with original terms of twelve months or less. Cancelable contracted revenue is not considered a remaining performance obligation. The Company recognized Data and other revenue from pharmaceutical companies, non-for-profits, and researchers of $72.8 million and $53.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively and $134.7 million and $96.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Multi-year Contract Performance Obligations

The Company has limited multi-year contracts that do not contain early termination or customer opt-in clauses. These contracts contained defined, noncancelable performance obligations that will be fulfilled in future years. The Company’s remaining performance obligations related to multi-year contracts was $390.5 million as of June 30, 2025, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately 45% as revenue over the next year, and the remaining 34% and 21% of its remaining performance obligations as revenue in years two and three, respectively.

Contract Assets

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Certain performance obligations may require payment before delivery of the service to the customer. The Company recognizes contract assets when the Company has an unconditional right to payment, and when revenues earned on a contract exceeds the billings. Contract assets are presented under accounts receivable, net. Accounts receivable as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 included contract assets of $3.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, and in conjunction with the signing of a November 2021 Master Services Agreement (“the MSA”) with customer AstraZeneca AB (“AstraZeneca”), the Company recognized a contract asset for consideration payable concurrent with the issuance of the common stock warrant in accordance with ASC 606. The contract asset was initially measured equal to the initial fair value of the warrant liability based on the authoritative guidance under FASB ASC 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation. As revenue is recognized over the period of the contractual commitment of the MSA, the associated contract asset amortization is recorded as reduction of revenue. At each reporting period, the short-term portion of the warrant asset is adjusted based on the financial commitment and reclassified to Prepaid expenses and other current assets. The warrant was terminated for no consideration on December 31, 2024.

In November 2023, the Company entered into a Commercialization and Reference Laboratory Agreement with Personalis, Inc. (“Personalis”), which was subsequently amended in August 2024. The Company will pay up to $12.0 million to Personalis over three years as certain milestones are met, $11.0 million of which has been paid as of June 30, 2025. These payments are treated as contract assets and amortized into revenue over the life of the contract. Contract asset balances are offset by deferred revenue generated from receipt of warrants for Personalis common stock (see Note 16). As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $4.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of net contract assets related to this agreement recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, respectively.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue consists of billings or cash received for services in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized as revenue when all the Company’s revenue recognition criteria are met. The deferred revenue balance is influenced primarily by upfront contractual payments from the Company’s Data and Services product offerings and timing of delivery of the Company’s de-identified licensed data and clinical test results. The portion of deferred revenue that is anticipated to be recognized as revenue during the succeeding twelve-month period is recorded as deferred revenue, current and any remaining portion is recorded as deferred revenue, non-current. The Company recognized $50.4 million and $39.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, that was included in the corresponding deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the periods.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Ambry

On February 3, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed its acquisition (the "Ambry Acquisition") of Ambry Genetics Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Ambry"), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") entered into on November 4, 2024 with Realm, IDX, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Seller") and the Seller's ultimate parent, Konica Minolta, Inc., a Japanese corporation, as guarantor.

The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Ambry. Consideration for the acquisition consisted of $375.0 million in cash, subject to adjustment for cash, unpaid indebtedness, unpaid transaction expenses and net working capital of Ambry, plus the issuance of an aggregate of 4,843,136 shares of the Company's Class A common stock (the "Stock Consideration"). Stock Consideration was valued at $61.54 per share, which was the closing price of the Company's Class A common stock on the Closing Date. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, 2,152,505 shares issued as Stock Consideration are subject to a lock-up for a period of one year following the Closing Date. The Company was an Ambry customer prior to the acquisition and, pursuant to that preexisting relationship, owed $3.8 million to Ambry as of the Closing Date. This balance was effectively settled upon the Ambry Acquisition and was treated as a reduction to consideration transferred.

Ambry is a leader in hereditary cancer screening. The Ambry Acquisition provides the Company with expanded testing capabilities for inherited cancer risk. In addition, the Ambry Acquisition complements the Company's strategy of using data to advance clinical and scientific innovation. Ambry's extensive product offerings will allow the Company to expand into new disease categories, including pediatrics, rare disease, immunology, women's reproductive health, and cardiology.

The Company incurred $7.2 million of transaction costs related to the Ambry Acquisition, of which $1.5 million and $4.5 million were recorded within Selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which is primarily attributed to the assembled workforce of the acquired company and expected growth from the horizontal integration of Ambry's genomics testing. $0.6 million of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The identifiable intangible assets acquired consisted of customer relationships, developed technology - biotech, developed technology - software, and trade names.

The fair value of customer relationships was estimated using the multi period excess earnings method, which isolates the net earnings attributable to the asset being measured. Significant assumptions used in the valuation of customer relationships included forecasted revenue and expenses, customer attrition, and discount rate.

The fair values of developed technology - biotech, developed technology - software, and trade names were estimated using the relief from royalty method, which considers the market-based royalty a company would pay to enjoy the benefits of the trade name or technology in lieu of actual ownership of the trade name or technology. Significant assumptions used in the valuation of these assets included forecasted revenue and expenses, royalty rate, and discount rate. In addition, the valuation of developed technology assets included assumed obsolescence rates.

As described, the valuation of identifiable intangible assets acquired required various estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the purchase price adjustments are preliminary and are subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed, and such further adjustments may be material. The Company's management believes the fair values recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable estimates and assumptions.

The pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying the Company's accounting policies and adjusting the results of Ambry to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property and equipment, net and intangible assets had been applied from January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 combines the Company's financial results and the historical results of Ambry for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Included in the adjustment is a $46.2 million tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from the release of a portion of the valuation allowance attributable to estimated deferred tax liabilities as of the opening balance sheet. The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations had the acquisition taken place as of the beginning of the period presented, or the results that may occur in the future.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, Ambry contributed $97.3 million in net revenue within Genomics revenue and $2.2 million of net income to the consolidated Tempus results. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, Ambry contributed $160.8 million in net revenue within Genomics revenue and $7.7 million of net income to the consolidated Tempus results.

Pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"), the Company accounted for the Ambry Acquisition as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not been finalized as of June 30, 2025. While all amounts remain subject to adjustments, the areas subject to the most significant potential adjustments are intangible assets and deferred income taxes. As a result, the Company recorded preliminary estimates for the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Closing Date.

Deep 6

On March 11, 2025, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding interests of Deep 6 AI, Inc. ("Deep 6"), a Delaware corporation, that enables healthcare organizations to de-risk clinical trials, accelerate recruitment, and generate real-world evidence with speed and precision. Deep 6's AI-powered software matches patients to clinical trials by mining real-time structured and unstructured electronic medical record data across a broad ecosystem.

The acquisition resulted in goodwill of $21.1 million. The aggregate acquisition date fair value of consideration for the Deep 6 acquisition totaled $17.4 million. Consideration consisted of $4.3 million of cash and $13.1 million of Class A common stock. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, $0.8 million in equity consideration was held back and is payable within five business days of March 11, 2026. The $0.8 million holdback liability is recognized within Other current liabilities. The holdback liability is remeasured at fair value in each period following the closing within selling, general and administrative expense.

SEngine

16


 

On October 3, 2023, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding interests of SEngine Precision Medicine LLC (“SEngine”), a Delaware limited liability company. The acquisition gives the Company access to SEngine’s meaningful organoid repository, advanced bioinformatics capabilities, and PARIS test platform.

The acquisition resulted in goodwill of $9.6 million. The aggregate acquisition date fair value of consideration for the SEngine acquisition totaled $9.9 million. Consideration consisted of $2.8 million of cash and $6.3 million of non-voting common stock. The transaction also includes contingent consideration of up to 35,000 additional shares of non-voting common stock if a liquidity event is completed prior to December 31, 2027. The contingent consideration liability is remeasured at fair value in each period following the closing within selling, general and administrative expense. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, $1.4 million in equity was held back and is payable on October 3, 2024, which is net of a net working capital adjustment less than $0.1 million. The Company issued 429 shares of non-voting common stock to the selling corporation in February 2024 related to the net working capital adjustment. In December 2024, the Company issued 19,620 shares of Class A common stock as payment of the contingent consideration. As of June 30, 2025, no other amounts are due under the contingent consideration or holdback agreements.

Mpirik

On March 8, 2023, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding interests of Mpirik, Inc.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, goodwill of $252.3 million was recorded in connection with the Ambry Acquisition and Deep 6 Acquisition. There were no goodwill additions for the three months ended June 30, 2025 or the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company recorded no impairment loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recorded at their acquisition cost, or fair value if acquired as part of a business combination and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets consist of a website domain, customer relationships and trade names acquired as part of a business combination, and licensed data acquired by entering into research collaboration agreements. In each license arrangement, the other party provides the Company with specified data, which currently is used primarily for research and development purposes but may also be licensed to third parties. The asset represents the Company’s right to use these datasets. The Company also recognizes a liability for the associated minimum payments that are presented within accrued data licensing fees.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025 the Company recorded $5.7 million in licensed data related to de-identified data obtained through amended agreements and $2.0 million in capitalized software. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an additional $234.0 million in customer relationships, $114.0 million in developed technology - biotech, $33.0 million in trade names, $18.0 million in developed technology - software, $5.7 million in licensed data, and $3.3 million in capitalized software. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company did not record any additions in intangible assets.

There were no impairment charges recognized related to intangible assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

JOINT VENTURE

SB Tempus

On May 18, 2024, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the "Joint Venture Agreement") with SoftBank Group Corporation ("SoftBank") to form SB Tempus Corp. (the "Joint Venture" or "SB Tempus"). The Joint Venture closed on July 18, 2024, at which time the Company and SoftBank each contributed ¥15 billion ($95.2 million). Each party received 50% of SB Tempus's outstanding capital stock and board seats. SB Tempus will engage in certain business activities in Japan similar to those conducted by the Company in the United States, including performing clinical sequencing, organizing patient data, and building a real world data business in Japan.

SB Tempus is considered a VIE as the Company does not have sufficient equity at risk and is entitled to receive residual returns of SB Tempus through its equity stake. Decisions that significantly impact the economic performance of SB Tempus require the consent of both the Company and SoftBank. Therefore, the Company concluded that neither party is deemed to have predominant control over SB Tempus, and the Company is not considered to be the primary beneficiary.

The Company's maximum exposure to loss from SB Tempus is equal to the carrying value of the Company's investment. As of June 30, 2025, the carrying value of the investment in SB Tempus was $95.7 million. The Company's share of losses from SB Tempus are recorded in Other income (expense), net.

In connection with entering into the Joint Venture Agreement, the Company entered into a Data License Agreement (the "Data License Agreement"), under which the Company granted SB Tempus a limited, non-exclusive, transferable license with a limited right to sublicense certain de-identified data for certain specified uses solely in Japan. Under the Data License Agreement, SB Tempus paid the Company ¥7.5 billion ($47.9 million) in exchange for the license to an initial records batch, which is recorded in deferred revenue and will be recognized into data and services revenue over the term of the license subscription which ends on March 31, 2026. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $6.2 million and $12.5 million, respectively, in Data and services revenue related to the Data License Agreement.

In addition, on July 18, 2024, the Company and SB Tempus entered into an Intellectual Property Agreement (the "IP License Agreement") under which SB Tempus paid the Company an additional ¥7.5 billion ($47.9 million) in exchange for a non-exclusive license to certain of the Company's technologies for certain specified uses solely in Japan. The payment is recorded in deferred other income and will be amortized into Other income (expense), net over three years, based on the estimated time for SB Tempus' systems and technologies to diverge from the Company's. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $4.0 million and $8.0 million, respectively, related to the IP License Agreement.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

Prior to the initial public offering of our Class A common stock ("IPO"), the Company had authorized two classes of common stock, voting and non-voting. In March 2021, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to bifurcate the voting common stock into two classes, Class A common stock and Class B common stock. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had authorized 200,228,024 shares of Class A common stock, 5,374,899 shares of Class B common stock, and 66,946,627 shares of non-voting common stock. In April 2024, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock to 204,590,500 in conjunction with the Series G-5 Preferred stock financing (see Note 11, Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock). In connection with the IPO, the Restated Certificate became effective, which authorized 1,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, 5,500,000 shares of Class B common stock, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

Class A common stock and Class B common stock are collectively referred to as “Common Stock” throughout the notes to these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements unless otherwise noted.

The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to thirty votes per share. Prior to the IPO, the Company also had shares of non-voting common stock authorized and outstanding, which were not entitled to any voting rights. Following the IPO, no shares of non-voting common stock are authorized or outstanding.

Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of Class A common stock.

Under the Restated Certificate, any holder’s shares of Class B common stock will convert automatically into Class A common stock, on a one-to-one basis, upon certain circumstances, including: (1) the sale or transfer of such shares of Class B common stock, other than to a “controlled entity,” which is any person or entity which, directly or indirectly, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the holder of such shares of Class B common stock; (2) the trading day that is no less than 90 days and no more than 150 days following the twenty-year anniversary of the filing of the Restated Certificate, which was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 17, 2024; (3) the date on which Mr. Lefkofsky is no longer providing services to the Company as an executive officer or member of the board of directors; and (4) the trading day that is no less than 90 days and no more than 150 days following the date that Mr. Lefkofsky and his controlled entities hold, in the aggregate, fewer than 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s capital stock (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions and recapitalizations).

Once transferred and converted into Class A common stock, the Class B common stock may not be reissued.

The Company issues stock-based awards to its employees in the form of stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units and restricted stock, all of which have the potential to increase the outstanding shares of common stock in the future (see Note 12, Stock-Based Compensation).

21


 

Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will be entitled to share equally, identically, and ratably in all assets remaining after the payment of any liabilities, liquidation preferences, and accrued or declared but unpaid dividends, if any, with respect to any outstanding preferred stock, unless a different treatment is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such affected class, voting separately as a class.

Common Stock Warrant

In connection with the MSA with AstraZeneca, the Company granted AstraZeneca warrants to purchase $100 million in shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at an exercise price equal to the IPO price of $37.00 per share. The number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant is 2,702,703, based on the IPO price of $37.00 per share.

The warrant was automatically cancelled and terminated for no consideration as AstraZeneca declined to extend its financial commitment before December 31, 2024. See Note 16 for further information.

On December 8, 2023, the Company issued Allen a warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price per share of $10.00. The warrant was issued as compensation for Allen’s assistance with the issuance of the Company’s Series G-4 preferred stock, and as such has been treated as an issuance cost and presented net of proceeds from Series G-4 preferred stock in Convertible redeemable preferred stock on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. In connection with the IPO, the Company issued 109,459 shares of Class A common stock upon the net exercise of the warrant.

11.
REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

In October 2023, the Company issued 785,245 shares of Series G-4 convertible preferred stock (“Series G-4 Preferred”) for aggregate proceeds of $45.0 million. Each share had a par value of $0.0001. Under the terms of Series G-4 Preferred, holders receive an amount equal to 5% of the per share original issue price for each share of Series G-4 Preferred (the “G-4 Special Payment”), in the event that following an IPO, the average of the last trading price on each trading day during the ten day trading period beginning on the first day of trading of the Company’s Class A common stock is less than 110% of the price per share of Class A common stock sold in the IPO. Following the Company’s IPO, the average ten day trading price was less than 110% of the price per share of Class A common stock sold in the IPO. As such, holders of Series G-4 Preferred were owed an aggregate payment of $2.3 million, which was made in July 2024.

In January 2024, the Company issued 66,465 shares of Series G-3 convertible preferred stock and 10,666 shares of Series G-4 convertible preferred stock as payment of paid-in-kind dividends.

In April 2024, the Company issued 3,489,981 shares of Series G-5 convertible preferred stock (“Series G-5 Preferred”) for aggregate proceeds of $200.0 million. Each share has a par value of $0.0001. The Company will use the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In connection with the IPO, all of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock and accrued but unpaid dividends were automatically converted into 71,976,178 shares of Class A voting common stock and 5,043,789 shares of Class B voting common stock.

 

12.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

2015 Stock Plan

In 2015, the Company adopted the Tempus AI, Inc. 2015 Stock Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which has been amended and restated numerous times to increase the aggregate shares authorized to be issued to employees, consultants, and directors of the Company. As of December 31, 2023, there were 28,115,750 shares authorized under the 2015 Plan.

On January 18, 2023, the Company approved a two-year extension of the expiration date of RSUs for then-current employees whose RSUs would otherwise expire in 2023 or 2024. The Company accounted for the extension as a stock compensation modification, which resulted in an increase in unrecognized compensation cost of $35.3 million at the time the extension was approved and an additional $12.2 million as the extensions occurred. The RSUs approved for the two-year extension were fully vested as of the IPO date. As such, the Company recognized the full impact of the expiration extension in stock-based compensation in the three months ended June 30, 2024.

After the IPO, no further grants will be made under the 2015 Stock Plan.

22


 

2024 Equity Incentive Plan

In February 2024, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and in April 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”), which became effective in connection with the IPO in June 2024. The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, (“ISOs”) nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSUs, restricted stock unit awards (“RSAs”), performance-based restricted stock awards (“PSUs”) and other awards. The original maximum number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued under the 2024 Plan was 7,430,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and automatically increases on January 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2025 and continuing through and including January 1, 2034 in an amount equal to either (i) a number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Evergreen Increase”), such that the sum of (x) the remaining number of shares available under the 2024 Plan and (y) the Evergreen Increase is equal to 5% of the total number of shares of common stock (both Class A and Class B) outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, or (ii) a lesser number of shares determined by the Company’s board of directors prior to the applicable January 1. The maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs under the 2024 Plan is 22,290,000 shares. As of June 30, 2025, there were 6,355,699 shares of the Company's Class A common stock that may be issued under the 2024 Plan.

The Company granted 1,616,377 and 1,838,670 RSUs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The Company granted 0 and 26,059 RSAs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $45.58. Stock-based compensation on these awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards. The Company recognized an immaterial amount of stock-based compensation related to the RSAs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

DEBT

Credit Facilities

On September 22, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Original Credit Agreement”) with Ares Capital Corporation (“Ares”) for a senior secured loan (the “Term Loan Facility”), in an original principal amount of $175.0 million, less original issue discount of $4.4 million and deferred financing fees of $2.6 million. The Original Credit Agreement was amended on April 25, 2023 to, among other things, increase the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility by $50.0 million, less original issue discount of $1.3 million, and was further amended on October 11, 2023 to, among other things, increase the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility by $35.0 million, less original issue discount of $0.9 million. On February 3, 2025, the Company entered into a Third Amendment Agreement (the "Third Amendment Agreement") which, among other things, provided for an additional $200.0 million tranche of senior secured term loans (the “Additional Term Loan Facility”), and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Term Loans”) and $100.0 million in priority revolving loan commitments (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and loans thereunder, the “Revolving Loans”). The Company received $194.0 million under the Additional Term Loan Facility, which is the aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million, less original issue discount of $4.0 million and $2.0 million in legal fees paid to third parties, and $97.1 million in revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, which is the aggregate amount of $100.0 million, less original issue discount of $2.0 million and $0.9 million in legal fees paid to third parties, the proceeds of which were used to fund the cash consideration for the Ambry Acquisition and to pay related fees. The Additional Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility mature on February 3, 2030. The Term Loan Facility matures in September 2027. The Term Loan Facility and the Additional Term Loan Facility (together, the Term Loan Facilities") and Revolving Credit Facility (together with the Term Loan Facilities, the “Credit Facilities”) are subject to quarterly interest payments for Base Rate loans and at the end of the applicable interest rate period for Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) loans. The Third Amendment Agreement was accounted for as a debt modification.

The Company has the option to convert the borrowing type to either a Base Rate Borrowing, which bears interest based on a Base Rate, defined as the greatest of the (a) the “Prime Rate” appearing the “Money Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal or another national publication selected by the Agent, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (c) Term SOFR for a one-month tenor in effect on such day plus 1.00% in each instance as of such day and (d) 2.00%, or a SOFR Borrowing, which bears interest based on

23


 

Term SOFR. Additionally, the Company may make either a paid-in-kind ("PIK") election or a Cash election. Pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement, as amended by the Third Amendment Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), through December 31, 2025, interest on the Term Loans accrues at a per annum rate as follows: (i) for any interest period for which the Company elects to pay interest in cash, the cash interest rate for Base Rate and Term SOFR borrowings will be the Base Rate plus 6.25% and Term SOFR plus 7.25%, respectively, and (ii) for any interest period for which the Company elects to pay interest in kind, the cash interest rate for Base Rate and Term SOFR borrowings will be the Base Rate plus 4% and Term SOFR plus 5%, respectively, and the PIK interest rate will be 3.25%.

 

From and after January 1, 2026, interest on the Term Loans accrues at a per annum rate as follows: (i) for any interest period for which the Company elects to pay interest in cash, the cash interest rate for Base Rate and Term SOFR borrowings will be the Base Rate plus a margin ranging from 5.75% to 6.75% and Term SOFR plus a margin ranging from 6.75% to 7.75%, respectively, and (ii) for any interest period for which we elect to pay interest in kind, the cash interest rate for Base Rate and Term SOFR borrowings will be the Base Rate plus a margin of 4% or 4.5% and Term SOFR plus a margin of 5% or 5.5%, respectively, and the PIK interest rate will be 3.25%. The applicable margin for any interest period for which the Company elects to pay interest in cash will be based on a consolidated first lien leverage ratio and whether the Company has satisfied certain junior capital raising requirements. The applicable margin for any interest period for which the Company elects to pay interest in kind will be based on whether the Company has satisfied certain junior capital raising requirements.

Interest on the Revolving Loans accrues interest at a per annum rate equal to either, the Base Rate plus 2.75% or Term SOFR plus 3.75% At all times prior to the termination of the Revolving Credit Facility, to the extent that, on any date, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Facility is less than the greater of (x) 50.0% of the revolving commitments and (y) $50.0 million, the amount of interest payable on the Revolving Loans shall be equal to the amount of interest that would be payable had the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans equaled the greater of (x) 50.0% of the revolving commitments and (y) $50.0 million (the “Minimum Revolving Interest Amount”). A commitment fee will accrue on the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility at a per annum rate of 0.50%; provided, however, that no such fee shall accrue to the extent the Company is being charged the Minimum Revolving Interest Amount.

In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, financial and other covenants, and events of default, including but not limited to, limitations on earnout, milestone, or deferred purchase obligations, dividends on preferred stock and stock repurchases, cash investments, and acquisitions. The Company is required to maintain a minimum liquidity of at least $25 million and maintain specified amounts of consolidated revenues for the trailing twelve month period ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter. Minimum consolidated revenues shall equal either $1.0 billion for the immediately trailing twelve month period or $1.0 billion on a pro forma basis and for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2025 through December 31, 2025, and shall equal $1.1 billion for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The Credit Agreement also contains a maximum first lien leverage from and after the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2027. The Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2025.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of its subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the Company’s and such subsidiaries’ assets.

On June 30, 2025, in conjunction with the private offering (the “Offering”) of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”), the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment Agreement”). The Fourth Amendment Agreement amended the terms of the Credit Agreement to (i) permit the Offering and the related derivative transactions and (ii) provide that the Offering satisfies the junior capital raise requirement set forth in the Credit Agreement. A failure to timely satisfy the junior capital raise requirement would have resulted in a 0.50% per annum increase in the applicable margin from and after January 1, 2026. Except as noted above, the material terms of the Credit Agreement were not amended. See Note 18, Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the Offering. The Fourth Amendment Agreement was accounted for as a debt modification.

24


 

The original issue discount of $10.5 million and deferred financing fees of $2.6 million on the Term Loans are amortized over the term of the underlying debt and unamortized amounts have been offset against long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the unamortized original issue discount was $6.8 million and $3.8 million, respectively, and the unamortized deferred financing fees were $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The original issue discount of $2.0 million and deferred financing fees of $1.0 million on the Revolving Credit Facility are amortized over the term of the underlying debt and unamortized amounts are recorded in Investments and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2025, the unamortized original issue discount and deferred financing fees on the Revolving Credit Facility was $1.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Through June 30, 2025, the Company has not made any principal repayments on the Credit Facilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company made $24.0 million in interest payments.

The Company recognized interest expense of $15.2 million and $27.7 million related to the Term Loans, which represented an effective interest rate of 3.2% and 5.9%, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The Company recognized interest expense of $9.2 million and $18.3 million related to the Term Loan Facility, which represented an effective interest rate of 3.4% and 6.9%, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The Company recognized interest expense of $2.0 million and $3.3 million related to the Revolving Credit Facility, which represented an effective interest rate of 2.0% and 3.3% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

Convertible Promissory Note

On February 22, 2025, the Company amended its convertible promissory note (the "Second Amended Note") with Google LLC ("Google"), originally entered into on June 22, 2020 (the "Note"), and subsequently amended on November 19, 2020 (the "Amended Note"). The amendment extended the maturity date of the Second Amended Note from March 22, 2026 to December 31, 2030. In addition, the amendment provides the Company the option upon maturity to repay up to 50% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest balance (the "Outstanding Amount") in shares of the Company's Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the Outstanding Amount on the maturity date, by (2) the average of the last trading price on each trading day during the twenty day period ending immediately prior to the maturity date.

The amendment was accounted for as a modification. The principal balance of the Second Amended Note was reset to $238.8 million, which is the total of the then-outstanding principal and accrued interest. Consistent with the terms of the Amended Note, the Second Amended Note bears interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum, compounded annually. The principal amount is automatically reduced each year based on a formula taking into account the aggregate value of the Google Cloud Platform services used by the Company. The Company accounts for the principal reductions as an offset to its cloud and compute spend within selling, general and administrative in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Outstanding Amount under the Second Amended Note is due and payable on the earlier of (1) December 31, 2030, which is the maturity date of the Amended Note, (2) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, and (3) upon the occurrence of an acceleration event, which includes any termination by the Company of its Google Cloud Platform agreement. The Company generally may not prepay the Outstanding Amount, except that the Company may, at its option, prepay the Outstanding Amount in an amount such that the principal amount remaining outstanding after such repayment is $150.0 million.

The Company recognized interest expense of $3.6 million and $3.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recognized interest expense of $7.1 million and $7.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Accrued interest on the Second Amended Note is recorded as Interest Payable within Other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

NET LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of Common Stock each period. The Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock share equally in distributed and undistributed earnings; therefore, no allocation to participating securities or dilutive securities is performed. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by giving effect to all potential dilutive Common Stock equivalents, which includes stock options, RSUs, RSAs, PSUs, and preferred stock. Because the Company incurred net losses each period, the basic and diluted calculations are the same. The Company used the if-converted method to calculate diluted EPS. As the Company had net losses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as their effect is anti-dilutive.

The following outstanding shares of common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for each period, as the impact of including them would have been anti-dilutive. As disclosed in Note 10, the Company issued a warrant for $100 million in shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. As per the terms of the warrant, potentially dilutive shares are based on the latest equity financing price. The warrant was terminated for no consideration on December 31, 2024.

As the liquidity event performance condition was satisfied upon completion of the IPO, as of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, these shares are included in potentially dilutive shares.

As disclosed in Note 13, the Second Amended Note may be fully converted to shares upon maturity at the holder’s option, or up to 50% may be converted to shares upon maturity at the Company's option. The number of shares to be issued is based on the amount outstanding at the maturity date, which is subject to reduction based on services used by us prior to the maturity date. As such, these are treated as contingently issuable shares and will be excluded from potential dilutive impact.

15.
INCOME TAXES

Accounting for income taxes for interim periods generally requires the provision for income taxes to be determined by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to income or loss before income taxes, adjusted for discrete items, if any, for the reporting period. The Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate each quarter and makes a cumulative adjustment in such period.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $0.2 million and income tax benefit of $46.0 million, respectively. This benefit is the result of a discrete tax benefit of $46.2 million recorded from the release of a portion of the valuation allowance attributable to a preliminary estimate of $46.2 million net deferred tax liabilities recorded on Ambry's opening balance sheet which offset certain net deferred tax assets of the Company. Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was not material.

26


 

Due to the Company’s history of losses in the United States, a full valuation allowance on all of the Company’s deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards and other book versus tax differences, was maintained.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 differs from the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the discrete tax benefit recognized from the reduction of the valuation allowance as a result of the Ambry Acquisition during the quarter.

The Company will continue to evaluate the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and adjust the valuation allowance as necessary based on the weight of available evidence.

16.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, finance lease obligations, minimum royalties, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the related party receivable, finance lease obligations, and minimum royalties approximate fair value because the interest rates used fluctuate with market interest rates or the fixed rates are based on current rates offered to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities.

The valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value and their classification in the valuation hierarchy are summarized below:

Marketable equity securities—The Company holds marketable equity securities, all of which are publicly traded shares of common stock, which have quoted prices in active markets and are classified as short-term. The securities are measured at fair value each reporting period. The Company classifies the marketable equity securities as Level 1 as they are valued using quoted market prices at each reporting period.

 

Contingent consideration—The Company is also subject to a contingent consideration arrangement of 35,000 additional shares of non-voting common stock in connection with the SEngine acquisition, the amount of which is determined based on the per share price of the Company’s non-voting common stock in a liquidity event completed prior to December 31, 2027. The contingent consideration has an acquisition fair value date of $0.8 million. See Note 4, Business Combinations for further discussion of that acquisition.

Liabilities for contingent consideration are measured at fair value each reporting period, with the acquisition date fair value included as part of the consideration transferred in the related business combination and subsequent changes in fair value recorded in earnings within operating expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company used a risk-neutral simulation model and option pricing framework to value the contingent consideration. Prior to the IPO, the Company classified the contingent consideration liabilities as Level 3 due to the lack of relevant observable market data over fair value inputs such as probability-weighting of payment outcomes. Subsequent to the IPO completed in June 2024, the Company classified the contingent consideration arrangement of up to 35,000 additional shares of non-voting common stock as Level 1 as the shares are valued using a quoted market price.

Holdback liability—The Company held back 17,372 shares in connection with the Deep 6 acquisition. See Note 4, Business Combinations for further discussion of that acquisition.

Holdback liabilities are measured at fair value each reporting period, with the acquisition date fair value included as part of the consideration transferred in the related business combination and subsequent changes in fair value recorded in earnings within operating expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company classified the holdback liability as Level 1 as the shares are valued using a quoted market price.

Warrant liability—As discussed in Note 10, the Company issued a $100 million warrant to AstraZeneca. The warrant liability is measured at fair value each reporting period, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company classifies the warrant liability as Level 3 due to the lack of relevant observable market data over fair value inputs such as the expected term. The warrant was terminated for no consideration on December 31, 2024.

27


 

The Credit Facilities and the Second Amended Note were not recorded at fair value. The fair values of the Credit Facilities and the Second Amended Note approximated their carrying values as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Estimates of the fair values of the Credit Facilities and the Second Amended Note are classified as Level 3 due to the lack of relevant observable market data over fair value inputs.

The following tables summarize assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not recognize any gain or loss due to a change in fair value for assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized a gain of $1.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in Other income (expense), net due to the change in fair value of the warrant liability determined by Level 3 valuation techniques.

Marketable Equity Securities

The Company holds marketable equity securities, which are all publicly traded shares of Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Recursion") Class A common stock and Personalis common stock.

Recursion shares of Class A common stock were received as payment of accounts receivable. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not sell any shares of Recursion Class A common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company sold 737,466 shares of Recursion Class A common stock at a weighted average price of $11.28 per share for aggregate proceeds of $8.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold 1,725,902 shares of Recursion Class A common stock at a weighted average price of $13.38 for aggregate proceeds of $23.1 million.

As consideration for the Company's obligations to Personalis under the Commercialization and Reference Laboratory Agreement entered into with Personalis in November 2023, Personalis issued warrants to the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,218,800 shares of Personalis' common stock, up to 4,609,400 of which were exercisable for cash at any time prior to December 31, 2024 at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, and up to 4,609,400 of which were exercisable for cash at any time prior to December 31, 2025 at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. In August 2024, the Company exercised the warrants in full at their respective exercise prices for an aggregate of 9,218,800 shares of Personalis common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $18.4 million. Concurrently, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement with Personalis, pursuant to which the Company purchased an additional 3,500,000 shares of Personalis common stock for $17.7 million. The Company owns less than 20% of Personalis' outstanding common stock and has no significant influence or control over Personalis.

Strategic Investment

The Company's Founder and Chief Executive Officer is a co-founder and serves as Executive Chairman of the board of Pathos AI, Inc. ("Pathos"). On August 19, 2021, the Company entered into a Master Agreement with Pathos, which was subsequently amended on February 12, 2024 (as amended, the "Amended and Restated Master Agreement"), for the purpose of furthering the commercialization efforts of drug development. In connection therewith, the Company received a warrant to purchase 23,456,790 shares, or approximately 15% of the then current outstanding equity in Pathos, for $0.0125 per share. The warrant will automatically exercise upon a change of control (as defined therein) or upon an IPO of Pathos’ securities. The Company also has an optional exercise election window during the last 10 days of the 20 year term of the warrant agreement. The Amended and Restated Master Agreement provides for an initial term of five years, measured from February 2024, with a subsequent five-year renewal provision unless the agreement is terminated. Either party may terminate the agreement after the initial five-year term by prior written notice to the other party.

On April 17, 2025, the Company entered into an Order Form (the "Order Form") regarding both the development of a foundation large multimodal model in the field of oncology (the “Foundation Model”) and the licensing of certain de-identified multi-modal data to assist in the development of the Foundation Model, with Pathos under the Amended and Restated Master Agreement (the Amended and Restated Master Agreement and the Order Form collectively referred to herein as the “Pathos Master Agreement”).

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Convertible Senior Notes

On July 3, 2025, the Company completed the Offering of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030, including the exercise in full of the initial purchasers’ over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional $100.0 million principal amount of the Notes.

The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and will mature on July 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Interest on the Notes will accrue at a rate of 0.75% per year from July 3, 2025 and will be payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2026. The Notes are convertible at the option of the holders at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding April 15, 2030, only upon satisfaction of one or more of the following conditions: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2025 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the Notes on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock and the conversion rate for the Notes on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls such Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the Notes called for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after April 15, 2030, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at their option at any time, regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock, at the Company’s election.

The conversion rate for the Notes will initially be 11.8778 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $84.19 per share of Class A common stock. The conversion rate for the Notes is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption in respect of the Notes, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate of the Notes for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with a corporate event or convert its Notes called for redemption during the related redemption period.

The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to July 20, 2028. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after July 20, 2028, if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for the Notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company redeems less than all the outstanding Notes, at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption, as of, and after giving effect to, delivery of the relevant notice of redemption. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the pricing of the Notes on June 30, 2025, and in connection with the exercise in full by the initial purchasers of their over-allotment option to purchase additional Notes on July 1, 2025, the Company entered into capped call transactions (the "Capped Call"), effective as of July 3, 2025, with one of the initial purchasers and certain other financial institutions. The Capped Call is expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on a cap price initially equal to $111.1950 per share and is subject to certain adjustments.

Proceeds

The Company's net proceeds from the Offering were approximately $725.9 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to repay $293.5 million of the Term Loan Facilities, which includes repayment of the principal, accrued interest, and prepayment premium. The repayment results in a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $18.5 million. Additionally, the Company paid approximately $41.8 million cost of the Capped Call. The Company expects to use the remaining net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions or strategic investments in complementary businesses or technologies, working capital, operating expenses, capital expenditures and repayment of additional indebtedness.

Leases

On August 1, 2025 (the "Commencement Date"), the Company entered into a lease agreement for office space located in New York, New York. The term of the lease agreement is for 120 months, with rent payments commencing on November 1, 2026 (the "Rent Commencement Date") and ending on October 31, 2036. The Company expects total rent payments to equal approximately $35.0 million over the lease term.

One Big Beautiful Bill Act

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”) was enacted into law in the U.S. The Act includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are currently assessing its impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the discussion under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 . Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis, including information with respect to our planned investments in our sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative functions, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the sections titled “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a discussion of forward- looking statements and important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Overview

Tempus is a technology company focused on healthcare that straddles two converging worlds. We strive to combine deep healthcare expertise, providing next-generation diagnostics across multiple disease areas, with leading technology capabilities, harnessing the power of data and analytics to help personalize medicine. We endeavor to unlock the true power of precision medicine by creating Intelligent Diagnostics through the practical application of artificial intelligence, or AI, in healthcare. Intelligent Diagnostics use AI, including generative AI, to make laboratory tests more accurate, tailored, and personal. Unlike traditional diagnostic labs, we can incorporate unique patient information, such as clinical, molecular, and imaging data, with the goal of making our tests more intelligent and our results more insightful. Unlike other technology companies, we are deeply rooted in clinical care delivery as one of the largest sequencers of cancer patients, and patients with other diseases, in the United States. Straddling both worlds is advantageous as we believe Intelligent Diagnostics represent the future of precision medicine, informing more personalized and data-driven therapy selection and development. We believe their adoption could empower physicians to deliver better care and researchers to develop more precise therapies, with the potential to save millions of lives.

In order to bring AI to healthcare at scale, we believe the foundation of how data flows throughout the ecosystem needs to be rebuilt. We established new data pipes, going to and from providers, to allow for the free exchange of data between physicians, who interpret data, and diagnostic and life science companies, who provide data, integrating relevant clinical data, such as outcomes, or adverse events, which are essential for many clinical decisions. Without this capability, we believe that data would continue to accumulate without impacting patient care. To accomplish this, we built both a technology platform to free healthcare data from silos and an operating system to make this data useful, the combination of which we refer to as our Platform. Our Platform connects multiple stakeholders within the larger healthcare ecosystem, often in real time, to assemble and integrate the data we collect, thereby providing an opportunity for physicians to make data-driven decisions in the clinic and for researchers to discover and develop therapeutics. We aim to help physicians find the best therapies for their patients, help pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies make the best drugs possible, and enable patients to access emerging therapies and clinical trials when appropriate.

We currently offer three product lines: Genomics, Data and AI Applications. Each product line is designed to enable and enhance the others, thereby creating network effects in each of the markets in which we operate. We are able to commercialize records multiple times, both at the time a test is run and thereafter. Our Genomics product line leverages our state-of-the-art laboratories to provide next generation sequencing, or NGS diagnostics, polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, profiling, molecular genotyping and other anatomic and molecular pathology testing to healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, researchers, and other third parties. The data generated in our lab or ingested into our platform as part of the Genomics product line is structured and de-identified, prior to commercialization. This de-identified database is then commercialized to our pharmaceutical and biotechnology partners to facilitate drug discovery and development through two primary Data and Services products, Insights and Trials. Our third product line, AI Applications, is focused on developing and providing diagnostics that are algorithmic in nature, implementing new software as a medical device, and building and deploying clinical decision support tools.

We primarily operate in the United States and generated total revenue of $314.6 million and $166.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $570.4 million and $311.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We also incurred net losses of $42.8 million and $552.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $110.9 million and $617.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We generated adjusted EBITDA of $(5.6) million and $(31.2) million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $(21.8) million and $(75.1) million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance

34


 

with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, and for additional information about adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, see "—Non-GAAP Financial Measure."

Convertible Senior Notes

On July 3, 2025, we completed a private offering, or the Offering, of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030, or the Notes, including the exercise in full of the initial purchasers’ over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional $100.0 million principal amount of the Notes. The Notes are our general unsecured obligations and will mature on July 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Interest on the Notes will accrue at a rate of 0.75% per year from July 3, 2025 and will be payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2026. Refer to Note 18 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding the issuance and terms of the Notes and the Capped Call transaction (as defined in “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Senior Convertible Notes”).

Our net proceeds from the Offering were approximately $725.9 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to repay $293.5 million of the Term Loan Facilities (as defined in “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Credit Facilities”), which includes repayment of the principal, accrued interest, and prepayment premium and to pay approximately $41.8 million cost of the Capped Call. We expect to use the remaining net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions or strategic investments in complementary businesses or technologies, working capital, operating expenses, capital expenditures and repayment of additional indebtedness.

Acquisition of Ambry Genetics Corporation

On February 3, 2025, or the Closing Date, we completed our acquisition, or the Ambry Acquisition, of Ambry Genetics Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or Ambry, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, entered into on November 4, 2024 with REALM IDx, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or the Seller, and the Seller’s ultimate parent, Konica Minolta, Inc., a Japanese corporation, as guarantor. We acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Ambry. Consideration for the acquisition consisted of $375.0 million in cash, subject to adjustment for cash, unpaid indebtedness, unpaid transaction expenses and net working capital of Ambry, or the Cash Consideration, plus the issuance of an aggregate of 4,843,136 shares of our Class A common stock, or the Stock Consideration. The Stock Consideration was valued at $61.54 per share, which was the closing price of our Class A common stock on the Closing Date. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, 2,152,505 shares issued as Stock Consideration are subject to a lock-up for a period of one year following the Closing Date. In addition, $5.0 million of the Cash Consideration are held in an escrow account for purposes of satisfying any post-closing purchase price adjustments.

In connection with the closing of the acquisition, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (as defined in “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Credit Facilities”), providing for an additional $200.0 million in senior secured term loans, or the Additional Term Loan Facility, and $100.0 million in senior secured revolving loan commitments, or the Revolving Credit Facility. We utilized borrowings under the Additional Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility to fund the Cash Consideration for the acquisition and to pay fees and expenses related thereto.

Strategic Collaborations

AstraZeneca and Pathos

In April 2025, we entered into a series of agreements with AstraZeneca AB, or AstraZeneca, and Pathos regarding both the development of a foundation large multimodal model in the field of oncology, or the Foundation Model, and the licensing of certain de-identified multi-modal data to assist in the development of the Foundation Model.

As previously disclosed, in November 2021, we entered into the MSA with AstraZeneca. Under the MSA, we agreed, on a non-exclusive basis, to provide AstraZeneca with certain of our products and services, including licensed data, sequencing, clinical trial matching, organoid modeling services, algorithm development, and others. In exchange for certain discounted prices, AstraZeneca has committed to spend a minimum of $220 million on such products and services during the term of the MSA. The term of the MSA will continue through December 31, 2026, unless terminated sooner. The minimum commitment may increase from $220 million to $320 million through December 2028 at AstraZeneca's election.

GlaxoSmithKline

In August 2022, we entered into a Strategic Collaboration Agreement, or, as amended in May 2024, the GSK Agreement, with GlaxoSmithKline, or GSK. Under the GSK Agreement, we agreed, on a non-exclusive basis, to provide GSK with certain of our products and services, including licensed data, sequencing, clinical trial matching, organoid modeling services, algorithm development, and others. In exchange for certain discounted prices, GSK has committed to spend a minimum of $180 million on such products and services during the term of the GSK Agreement, of which $70 million was paid upon execution. The term of the GSK Agreement will continue through December 31, 2027, unless terminated sooner. An additional commitment of up to $120 million may be triggered at GSK’s election for the years 2028, 2029 and 2030.

Recursion Master Agreement

In November 2023, we entered into a Master Agreement, or the Recursion Agreement, with Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Recursion. Under the Recursion Agreement, we agreed to provide certain of our services and to license certain data to Recursion, including a limited right to access our proprietary database of de-identified clinical and molecular data for certain therapeutic product development purposes. In exchange for these rights, Recursion will pay an initial license fee of $22 million and an annual license fee throughout the term of the agreement, which, together with the initial license fee, totals up to $160 million.

In addition to mutual rights to terminate for an uncured breach of the Recursion Agreement, Recursion may terminate the agreement for convenience after three years upon 90 days prior notice, subject to payment by Recursion of an early termination fee.

The initial license fee and each annual license fee are payable at Recursion’s option either in the form of (x) cash, (y) shares of Recursion’s Class A common stock, or (z) a combination of cash and shares of Recursion’s Class A common stock in such proportion as is determined by Recursion in its sole discretion; provided that the aggregate number of shares of Recursion’s Class A common stock to be issued to us under the Recursion Agreement shall not exceed 19.9% of the aggregate total of shares of Recursion Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding on November 3, 2023, or the date immediately preceding the date any shares of Class A common stock are issued pursuant to the Recursion Agreement, whichever is less. We have customary registration rights with respect to any shares of Recursion’s Class A common stock issued pursuant to the Recursion Agreement.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe there are several important factors that have impacted and that we expect will impact our operating performance and results of operations. While each of these areas presents significant opportunities for us, they also pose significant risks and challenges that we must address.

Research and Development and New Products

We expect to maintain high levels of investment in product innovation over the coming years as we continue to develop new laboratory assays, develop algorithms, and expand our Platform into new disease areas. These investments will include laboratory

36


 

costs incurred in validating new or improving current assays, licensing of data sets to accelerate our efforts in new diseases, and development and validation costs for new Algos products. We invested $41.6 million and $68.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $77.5 million and $92.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 respectively, in research and development. Our ability to develop new products, obtain regulatory approvals when required, launch them into the market, and drive adoption of these products by our customers will continue to play a key role in our results.

Customer Acquisition and Expansion

To grow our business requires both identifying new customers and expanding our partnerships with existing ones across each of our product lines. For Genomics, this entails our field salesforce developing relationships with individual physicians, genetic counselors, and hospital systems, demonstrating the power our Platform has in enabling them to provide personalized care to their patients. For Data, this entails our pharmaceutical business development teams demonstrating the power our Platform and database have in enabling drug discovery, development and clinical trial matching for our pharmaceutical partners. For AI Applications, this entails demonstrating the utility of these algorithms in a clinical setting. Since our inception, our offerings have been used by more than 8,000 physicians and we have worked with over 200 biotech companies, as well as 19 of the 20 largest public pharmaceutical companies based on 2024 revenue, albeit with many we are still at an early stage of adoption. Our financial performance relies heavily on our ability to add customers to our Platform and expand the relationships with our current customers through adoption of our new products.

Investments in Technology

Technology is at the core of everything we do. From receiving orders and ingesting data through our various provider integrations to delivering test results and access to our analytical platform, our Platform plays a key role in driving our business. We will continue to make significant investments in our Platform to continually improve our user experience and allow us to generate, ingest and structure data more efficiently as we expand our offerings. We invested $34.5 million and $77.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $67.9 million and $105.0 million, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in technology. We expect to maintain high levels of investment in our technology over the coming years as we continue to develop new features to support our current and future business needs. Our ability to execute on the development of such technology will continue to play a key factor in our results. In addition, the announcement of substantial new tariffs and other restrictive trade policies, to the extent such current and future tariffs apply to hardware, networking infrastructure or other technology infrastructure used by us or our third-party vendors, could raise costs, constrain supply or affect service reliability.

Payer Coverage and Reimbursement

Our financial performance relies heavily on our ability to secure reimbursement from payers and government health benefits programs. A substantial majority of the genomic testing we perform is clinical in nature. We typically receive reimbursement for these tests from commercial payers and from government health benefits programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid. The amount of payment we receive varies widely and depends on a variety of factors, including the payer, the assay run, and other characteristics about the patient. As of December 31, 2024, we had received payment on approximately 55% of our clinical oncology NGS tests across all payers performed from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023. We calculated this metric on a trailing basis based on payer adjudication timing. However, we continued to perform our NGS tests through December 31, 2024. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, our average reimbursement for NGS tests in oncology was approximately $1,510 and $1,450, respectively. We will continue to invest significantly in various efforts aimed at improving our average reimbursement, including performing clinical studies to generate evidence of clinical utility, seeking regulatory approval for our tests, and opening additional lab locations. Any changes to medical policies impacting how our tests are reimbursed could have a significant impact on our results.

Macroeconomic Conditions

A significant portion of our current Data and services products sales are to customers in the life sciences industry, in particular the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. Demand for our Data and services products could be affected by factors that adversely affect the life sciences industry, including macroeconomic and market conditions that may adversely impact earlier stage biotechnology companies such as substantial new tariffs and other restrictive trade policies.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We currently primarily derive our revenue from two product lines: (1) Genomics and (2) Data and services.

Genomics

37


 

Genomics primarily includes revenue from Oncology testing (legacy Tempus) and Hereditary testing (legacy Ambry Genetics). Oncology testing includes revenue from diagnostics, PCR profiling, and other anatomic and molecular pathology testing to oncologists, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, researchers, and other third parties. Hereditary testing includes revenue from inherited cancer risk, whole exome and genome profiling for rare conditions, and all other inherited screening testing primarily to genetic counselors.

Data and Services

Data and services primarily includes revenue from de-identified data generated through our Genomics product line to our pharmaceutical and biotechnology partners for use in their drug development efforts. These transactions consist of data licensing agreements, AI-enabled clinical trial matching, and analytical services. Our Data revenue is typically back-weighted towards the second half of the year based on the budgeting cycles of our customers. We currently report our AI Applications revenue within this line item as it is immaterial.

Cost and Operating Expenses

We incur costs to generate revenue for each of our two primary product lines. Cost of revenues for our Genomics product line is a higher percentage of the Genomics revenue than cost of revenues for Data and services is as a percentage of Data and services revenue. As revenue shifts between these product lines, total cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue will be impacted.

Cost of Revenues, Genomics

Cost of revenues for Genomics primarily includes personnel lab expenses, including salaries, bonuses, employee benefits and stock-based compensation expenses (which we refer to as “personnel costs”), and amortization of intangible assets, cost of laboratory supplies and consumables, laboratory rent expense, depreciation of laboratory equipment and shipping costs. Costs associated with performing our tests are recorded as the tests are processed at the time of report delivery. We expect these costs will increase in absolute dollars as our Genomics revenue continues to grow.

Cost of Revenues, Data and Services

Cost of revenues for Data and services primarily includes data acquisition and royalty fees, and personnel costs related to delivery of our data services and platform, cloud costs, and certain allocated overhead expenses. Costs associated with performing data product services are recorded as incurred. We expect these costs will increase in absolute dollars as our Data and services revenue continues to grow. We currently report our AI Applications cost of revenue within this line item as it is immaterial.

Research and Development

Research and development expense primarily includes costs incurred to develop new assays and products, including validation costs, research and development and allocated lab personnel costs, salaries and benefits of the company’s scientific and laboratory research and development teams, amortization of intangible assets, inventory costs, overhead costs, contract services and other related costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We plan to continue to invest in new assay development and expansion into new disease areas. As a result, we expect that research and development expenses will increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest to support these activities.

Technology Research and Development

Technology research and development expense primarily includes personnel costs incurred related to the research and development of our technology platform and applications and the research and development of new products that we hope to bring to the market. Technology research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We plan to continue to invest in technology personnel to support our Platform and new algorithm development. We expect that technology research and development expenses will increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest to support these activities.

Selling, General and Administrative

Our selling, general and administrative expense primarily includes personnel costs for our sales, executive, accounting and finance, legal and human resources functions, commissions, and other general corporate expenses, including software and tools, professional services, real estate costs, and travel costs.

38


 

We expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars after our IPO, primarily due to increased headcount and costs associated with operating as a public company, including expenses related to legal, accounting, regulatory, maintaining compliance with exchange listing and requirements of the SEC, director and officer insurance premiums and investor relations. These expenses, though expected to increase in absolute dollars, are expected to decrease modestly as a percentage of revenue in the long term, though they may fluctuate as a percentage from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses. As the performance-based vesting condition of our RSUs was satisfied in connection with our IPO, we will continue to record stock-based compensation expenses associated with the vesting of RSUs in the quarter in which such vestings occur.

Interest Income

Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest from our Second Amended Note and Credit Facilities (each as defined in “—Liquidity and Capital Resources”). Interest expense related to our Second Amended Note will continue, but should decrease over time as the principal amount decreases.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net consists of foreign currency exchange gains and losses, gains and losses on marketable equity securities, income from the Intellectual Property Agreement, or the IP License Agreement, with SB Tempus Corp., or SB Tempus, and any changes in fair value related to our warrant assets and liabilities. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses relate to transactions and asset and liability balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We expect our foreign currency gains and losses to continue to fluctuate in the future due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We hold shares of common stock of Recursion and Personalis, Inc., or Personalis, which are recorded within marketable equity securities. These shares are marked to market each reporting period. We issued a warrant to our customer AstraZeneca in conjunction with the signing of the MSA in November 2021. We have a warrant asset related to a November 2023 Commercialization and Reference Laboratory Agreement with Personalis, which was exercised in August 2024. The fair value of the warrant assets and liabilities are measured each reporting period.

(Provision for) benefit from income taxes

(Provision for) benefit from income taxes consists of U.S. federal and state income taxes and income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business, as adjusted for non-deductible expenses, and changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. We maintain a full valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Losses from Equity Method Investments

Losses from equity method investments consist of earnings from our joint venture, SB Tempus. See Note 7 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding SB Tempus.

The increase in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was due to increased volume of tests performed in Genomics and increased data deliveries in our Data and Services product line.

Genomics

The increase in Genomics revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to an increase in the number of Oncology tests and the addition of Hereditary tests through the acquisition of Ambry. Volume of tests increased from approximately 66,500 tests for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to approximately 212,000 tests for the three months ended June 30, 2025, of which 128,000 tests related to Hereditary testing.

Oncology tests increased from approximately 66,500 tests for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to approximately 84,000 tests for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Additionally, there was an increase in average revenue per Oncology test, which increased from approximately $1,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to approximately $1,580 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in average revenue per Oncology test was driven primarily by increased Medicare reimbursement rates. The increase in the number of Oncology tests and average revenue per Oncology test resulted in a $33.0 million increase in Genomics revenue.

Hereditary tests increased to approximately 128,000 tests for the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to the acquisition of Ambry in February 2025 and resulted in an increase of $97.3 million in Genomics revenue.

Data and Services

The increase in Data and services revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was driven primarily by $16.5 million from increased demand for our Insights products. Across all Data and services products, the increase in revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily attributable to continued growth from within our existing customer base, specifically the Pathos Foundation Model agreement.

The change in provision for income tax benefit (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was due to a $46.2 million discrete tax benefit recorded from the release of a portion of the valuation allowance attributable to net deferred tax liabilities related to the acquisition of Ambry which offset certain net deferred tax assets of us.

The increase in losses from equity method investments for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was due to the losses from SB Tempus.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, we use adjusted EBITDA to facilitate analysis of our financial and business trends and for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude (i) interest income, (ii) interest expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (v) losses on equity method investments, (vi) changes in fair value of our warrant liability, warrant asset, marketable equity securities, contingent consideration liabilities and indemnity-related holdback liabilities, (vii) stock-based compensation expense, (viii) employer payroll tax related to stock-based compensation expense, (ix) acquisition-related expenses, (x) the G-4 Special Payment (as defined in Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), (xi) amortization of deferred other income from our IP License Agreement with SB Tempus and (xii) franchise taxes related to our IPO. We use adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with net income or loss, its corresponding GAAP measure, as a performance measure to assess our operating performance and operating leverage in our business. The above items are excluded from our adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, or they are not driven by core results of operations, thereby rendering comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, adjusted EBITDA is a key measurement used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to analyzing operating expenses, evaluating performance, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for, or superior to, the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are that adjusted EBITDA:

does not reflect interest income which increases cash available to us;
excludes depreciation and amortization expense, and although these are non-cash expenses, the asset being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future, increasing our cash requirements;
does not reflect provision for or benefit from income taxes that reduces cash available to us; and
excludes change in fair value of warrant liabilities, contingent consideration and warrant asset.

46


 

Because of these limitations, we consider, and you should consider, adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net loss and our other GAAP results. A reconciliation of our adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP, is provided below. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The following table summarizes our adjusted EBITDA, along with net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for each period presented below:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception, and as of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $2.3 billion.

We expect to incur additional operating losses in the near future and our operating expenses will increase as we continue to invest and develop new offerings, expand our sales organization, and increase our marketing efforts to drive market adoption of our tests. As demand for our tests continues to increase from physicians and biopharmaceutical companies, we anticipate that our capital expenditure requirements could also increase if we require additional laboratory capacity.

We have funded our operations to date principally from the sale of stock, convertible debt, term debt, the Revolving Credit Facility, and sales of our products. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $188.1 million. In April 2024, we sold an aggregate of 3,489,981 shares of our Series G-5 convertible preferred stock at a price per share of $57.3069, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $200.0 million in a private placement to an accredited investor. In June 2024, we completed our IPO, which resulted in net proceeds of $382.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $28.7 million. In July 2025, we completed the Offering, which resulted in net proceeds of $725.9 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us

Based on our current business plan, we believe our current cash and cash equivalents, marketable equity securities and anticipated cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for more than twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We may raise additional capital to expand our business, to pursue strategic

47


 

investments, to take advantage of financing opportunities or for other reasons. As we grow our revenue, our accounts receivable and inventory balances will increase. Any increase in accounts receivable and inventory may not be completely offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, which could result in greater working capital requirements.

If our available cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements because of lower demand for our products as a result of lower than currently expected rates of reimbursement from our customers or other risks described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, we may seek to sell additional common or preferred equity or convertible debt securities, enter into a credit facility or another form of third-party funding or seek other debt financing. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities, or exercise of warrants may result in dilution to our stockholders and, in the case of preferred equity securities or convertible debt, those securities could provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock. The terms of debt securities issued or borrowings pursuant to a credit agreement could impose significant restrictions on our operations. If we raise funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we might be required to relinquish significant rights to our platform technologies or products or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. Additional capital may not be available to us on reasonable terms, or at all. The failure to obtain any required future financing may require us to reduce or eliminate certain existing operations.

Convertible Senior Notes

On July 3, 2025, we completed the Offering of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030, including the exercise in full of the initial purchasers’ over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional $100.0 million principal amount of the Notes.

The Notes are general unsecured obligations of ours and will mature on July 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Interest on the Notes will accrue at a rate of 0.75% per year from July 3, 2025 and will be payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2026. The Notes are convertible at the option of the holders at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding April 15, 2030, only upon satisfaction of one or more of the following conditions: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2025 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the Notes on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock and the conversion rate for the Notes on each such trading day; (3) if we call such Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the Notes called for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after April 15, 2030, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at their option at any time, regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock, at our election.

The conversion rate for the Notes will initially be 11.8778 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $84.19 per share of Class A common stock. The conversion rate for the Notes is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or if we deliver a notice of redemption in respect of the Notes, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate of the Notes for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with a corporate event or convert its Notes called for redemption during the related redemption period.

We may not redeem the Notes prior to July 20, 2028. We may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after July 20, 2028, if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for the Notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If we redeem less than all the outstanding Notes, at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption, as of, and after giving effect to, delivery of the relevant notice of redemption. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

If we undergo a fundamental change, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

48


 

In connection with the pricing of the Notes on June 30, 2025, and in connection with the exercise in full by the initial purchasers of their over-allotment option to purchase additional Notes on July 1, 2025, we entered into capped call transactions, or the Capped Call, effective as of July 3, 2025, with one of the initial purchasers and certain other financial institutions. The Capped Call is expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on a cap price initially equal to $111.1950 per share and is subject to certain adjustments.

Our net proceeds from the Offering were approximately $725.9 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to repay $293.5 million of the Term Loan Facility (as defined below), which includes repayment of the principal, accrued interest, and prepayment premium. The repayment results in a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $18.5 million.

Additionally, we paid approximately $41.8 million cost of the Capped Call from the proceeds of the Offering. We expect to use the remaining net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions or strategic investments in complementary businesses or technologies, working capital, operating expenses, capital expenditures and repayment of additional indebtedness.

 

Credit Facilities

On September 22, 2022, we entered into a Credit Agreement, or the Original Credit Agreement, with Ares Capital Corporation, or Ares, for a senior secured loan, or the Term Loan Facility, in an original principal amount of $175.0 million, less original issue discount of $4.4 million and deferred financing fees of $2.6 million. The Original Credit Agreement was amended on April 25, 2023 to, among other things, increase the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility by $50.0 million, less original issue discount of $1.3 million, and was further amended on October 11, 2023 to, among other things, increase the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility by $35.0 million, less original issue discount of $0.9 million. On February 3, 2025, we entered into a Third Amendment Agreement, or the Third Amendment Agreement, which, among other things, provided for an additional $200.0 million tranche of senior secured term loans, or the Additional Term Loan Facility, and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities,” and the loans thereunder, the “Term Loans,” and $100.0 million in priority revolving loan commitments, or the Revolving Credit Facility, and loans thereunder, the “Revolving Loans”. We received $194.0 million under the Additional Term Loan Facility, which is the aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million, less original issue discount of $4.0 million and $2.0 million in legal fees paid to third parties, and $97.1 million in revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, which is the aggregate amount of $100.0 million, less original issue discount of $2.0 million and $0.9 million in legal fees paid to third parties, the proceeds of which were used to fund the cash consideration for the Ambry Acquisition and to pay related fees. The Additional Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility mature on February 3, 2030. The Term Loan Facility matures in September 2027. The Term Loan Facilities and Revolving Credit Facility, or together, the Credit Facilities, are subject to quarterly interest payments for Base Rate loans and at the end of the applicable interest rate period for Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, loans. The Third Amendment Agreement was accounted for as a debt modification.

The Company has the option to convert the borrowing type to either a Base Rate Borrowing, which bears interest based on a Base Rate, defined as the greatest of the (a) the “Prime Rate” appearing the “Money Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal or another national publication selected by the Agent, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (c) Term SOFR for a one-month tenor in effect on such day plus 1.00% in each instance as of such day and (d) 2.00%, or a SOFR Borrowing, which bears interest based on Term SOFR. Additionally, the Company may make either a paid-in-kind, or PIK, election or a Cash election. Pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement, as amended by the Third Amendment Agreement, or the Credit Agreement, through December 31, 2025, interest on the Term Loans accrues at a per annum rate as follows: (i) for any interest period for which we elect to pay interest in cash, the cash interest rate for Base Rate and Term SOFR borrowings will be the Base Rate plus 6.25% and Term SOFR plus 7.25%, respectively, and (ii) for any interest period for which we elect to pay interest in kind, the cash interest rate for Base Rate and Term SOFR borrowings will be the Base Rate plus 4% and Term SOFR plus 5%, respectively, and the PIK interest rate will be 3.25%.

From and after January 1, 2026, interest on the Term Loans accrues at a per annum rate as follows: (i) for any interest period for which we elect to pay interest in cash, the cash interest rate for Base Rate and Term SOFR borrowings will be the Base Rate plus a margin ranging from 5.75% to 6.75% and Term SOFR plus a margin ranging from 6.75% to 7.75%, respectively, and (ii) for any interest period for which we elect to pay interest in kind, the cash interest rate for Base Rate and Term SOFR borrowings will be the Base Rate plus a margin of 4% or 4.5% and Term SOFR plus a margin of 5% or 5.5%, respectively, and the PIK interest rate will be 3.25%. The applicable margin for any interest period for which we elect to pay interest in cash will be based on a consolidated first lien leverage ratio and whether we have satisfied certain junior capital raising requirements. The applicable margin for any interest period for which we elect to pay interest in kind will be based on whether we have satisfied certain junior capital raising requirements.

Interest on the Revolving Loans accrues interest at a per annum rate equal to either, the Base Rate plus 2.75% or Term SOFR plus 3.75% At all times prior to the termination of the Revolving Credit Facility, to the extent that, on any date, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Facility is less than the greater of (x) 50.0% of the revolving commitments and (y)

49


 

$50.0 million, the amount of interest payable on the Revolving Loans shall be equal to the amount of interest that would be payable had the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans equaled the greater of (x) 50.0% of the revolving commitments and (y) $50.0 million, or the Minimum Revolving Interest Amount. A commitment fee will accrue on the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility at a per annum rate of 0.50%; provided, however, that no such fee shall accrue to the extent we are being charged the Minimum Revolving Interest Amount.

In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, financial and other covenants, and events of default, including but not limited to, limitations on earnout, milestone, or deferred purchase obligations, dividends on preferred stock and stock repurchases, cash investments, and acquisitions. We are required to maintain a minimum liquidity of at least $25 million and maintain specified amounts of consolidated revenues for the trailing twelve month period ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter. Minimum consolidated revenues shall equal either $1.0 billion for the immediately trailing twelve month period or $1.0 billion on a pro forma basis and for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2025 through December 31, 2025, and shall equal $1.1 billion for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The Credit Agreement also contains a maximum first lien leverage from and after the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2027. We were in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2025.

On June 30, 2025, in conjunction with the Offering, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, or the Fourth Amendment Agreement. The Fourth Amendment Agreement amends the terms of the Credit Agreement to (i) permit the Offering and the related derivative transactions and (ii) provide that the Offering satisfies the junior capital raise requirement set forth in the Credit Agreement. A failure to timely satisfy the junior capital raise requirement would have resulted in a 0.50% per annum increase in the applicable margin from and after January 1, 2026. Except as noted above, the material terms of the Credit Agreement were not amended.

Convertible Promissory Note

On February 22, 2025, we amended our convertible promissory note, or the Second Amended Note, with Google LLC, or Google, originally entered into on June 22, 2020, or the Note, and subsequently amended on November 19, 2020, or the Amended Note. The amendment extended the maturity date of the Second Amended Note from March 22, 2026 to December 31, 2030. In addition, the amendment provides us the option upon maturity to repay up to 50% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest balance, or the Outstanding Amount, in shares of our Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the Outstanding Amount on the maturity date, by (2) the average of the last trading price on each trading day during the twenty day period ending immediately prior to the maturity date.

The principal balance of the Second Amended Note was reset to $238.8 million, which is the total of the then-outstanding principal and accrued interest. Consistent with the terms of the Amended Note, the Second Amended Note bears interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum, compounded annually. The principal amount is automatically reduced each year based on a formula taking into account the aggregate value of the Google Cloud Platform services used by us. We account for the principal reductions as an offset to its cloud and compute spend within selling, general and administrative in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Outstanding Amount under the Second Amended Note is due and payable on the earlier of (1) December 31, 2030, which is the maturity date of the Amended Note, (2) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, and (3) upon the occurrence of an acceleration event, which includes any termination by us of ours Google Cloud Platform agreement. We generally may not prepay the Outstanding Amount, except that we may, at our option, prepay the Outstanding Amount in an amount such that the principal amount remaining outstanding after such repayment is $150.0 million.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $61.5 million, which resulted from a net loss of $110.9 million and a net change in our operating assets and liabilities of $10.4 million, offset by non-cash charges of $59.9 million. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $48.4 million of depreciation and amortization, $45.4 million of stock-based compensation,

50


 

$7.2 million of PIK interest added to principal, and $4.6 million of non-cash operating lease costs, offset by deferred income taxes of $46.2 million, and $6.0 million of gain on marketable equity securities. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of a $49.2 million increase in accounts receivable due to increased sales and the timing of customer payments, offset by a $36.8 million increase in deferred revenue, which is primarily due to the Pathos Foundation Model agreement.

 

Cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $198.5 million, which resulted from a net loss of $617.0 million and a net change in our operating assets and liabilities of $103.8 million, offset by non-cash charges of $522.3 million. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of stock-based compensation of $488.3 million, $18.3 million of depreciation and amortization, a decrease in the fair value of the warrant asset of $7.7 million, and $3.3 million of non-cash operating lease costs. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of decreases in accounts payable and deferred revenue of $33.4 million and $28.7 million, respectively, and a $24.0 million increase in accounts receivable.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $385.3 million, which was the result of $380.8 million cash paid related to the Ambry and Deep 6 acquisitions, purchases of property and equipment of $9.6 million, and $3.3 million of purchases of capitalized software from the Ambry Acquisition, offset by proceeds from the sale of marketable equity securities of $8.3 million.

Cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $9.0 million, which was the result of proceeds from the sale of marketable equity securities of $23.1 million, offset by purchases of property and equipment of $14.1 million.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $293.0 million, which was the result of net proceeds from the Additional Term Loan Facility of $196.0 million, and net proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility of $98.0 million, offset by $1.0 million of payment of deferred financing fees.

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $502.6 million, which was the result of proceeds from the issuance of common stock in connection with our IPO, net of underwriting discounts and commissions of $382.0 million, and the issuance of Series G-5 Preferred Stock of $199.8 million, offset by $69.9 million of taxes paid related to the net settlement of a portion of the RSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2024 for which the service-based vesting condition was satisfied before June 14, 2024 and for which the performance-based vesting condition was satisfied in connection with the IPO, or the RSU Net Settlement.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have during the period presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Our preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as revenue and expenses recorded during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could therefore differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Other than the accounting policy disclosed below, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as described in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Business Combinations

51


 

In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, the Company uses the acquisition method of accounting to allocate the purchase price of an acquired business to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Assigning fair market values to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of an acquisition often requires the application of judgment regarding estimates and assumptions. These estimates include, but are not limited to, a market participant’s expectation of future cash flows from acquired customer relationships, acquired trade names, and acquired developed technology. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, our company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Based on the aggregate market value of shares of our Class A common stock held by non-affiliates as of June 30, 2025, we expect to become a “large accelerated filer” and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2025.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates related primarily to our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, and our indebtedness. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $188.1 million held primarily in cash deposits and money market funds. As of June 30, 2025, we had $579.6 million outstanding under our Term Loan Facilities and Revolving Credit Facility, which are subject to quarterly interest payments. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates under our Term Loan Facilities and Revolving Credit Facility would not be material to our financial condition or results of operations.

Foreign Currency Risk

The majority of our revenue is generated in the United States. Through June 30, 2025, we have generated an insignificant amount of revenues denominated in foreign currencies. As we expand our presence in the international market, our results of operations and cash flows are expected to increasingly be subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates

52


 

and may be adversely affected in the future due to these related changes. As of June 30, 2025 the effect of a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates would not be material to our financial condition or results of operations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging arrangements with respect to foreign currency risk. As our international operations grow, we will continue to reassess our approach to manage our risk relating to fluctuations in currency rates.

Inflation Risk

We are also exposed to inflation risk and inflationary factors, such as increases in raw material and overhead costs, which could impair our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and operating expenses as a percentage of revenue.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2025.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, the effectiveness of any internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Part II – Other Information

From time to time, we may be involved in various legal proceedings, including commercial claims from customers and vendors, potential lawsuits seeking damages and/or injunctive relief, employment disputes, subpoenas, government investigations, regulatory or administrative proceedings, and other types of matters arising from the normal course of business activities. We may also initiate such proceedings against various third parties. Defending against and pursuing such proceedings is costly and can impose a significant burden on management and employees. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. Except as described below, we believe there are currently no pending legal proceedings to which we or our property are subject that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Although no formal legal proceeding has been instituted, from time to time, we receive requests from governmental agencies, or third parties working on their behalf, for documents and information related to our products and services. For example, on May 19, 2022, we received a subpoena from the Office of the Ohio Attorney General. The subpoena required production of certain billing and patient records associated with nine Ohio Medicaid patients who received our clinical diagnostic tests between 2019 and 2022. We provided responsive documents in June 2022 and have not received additional inquiry from the Ohio Attorney General’s office since that time.

Similarly, on March 4, 2024, we received a Civil Investigative Demand, or CID, from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York. The CID requested documents and other information related to our compliance with the False Claims Act, the Anti-Kickback statute, and in particular 42 C.F.R. § 414.510(b), which is commonly referred to as the Medicare 14-Day or Date of Service Rule. We provided an initial production on April 4, 2024, and have produced additional responsive documents on a rolling basis since that time. We have not received additional inquiry from the U.S. Attorney’s Office since our last document production.

While we believe our programs and payments comply with the Anti-Kickback statute, no assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of the government’s investigation, or that it will not result in a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, we have received requests for medical records and billing information from certain Unified Program Integrity Coordinators or other third parties working on the government’s behalf regarding clinical diagnostic services provided by us to patients enrolled in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. We have responded to all such requests for information.

On June 11, 2024, Guardant Health Inc., or Guardant, filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint alleges that the Tempus xF, Tempus xF+, Tempus xM Monitor and Tempus xM MRD products use liquid biopsy technology that infringes five Guardant U.S. patents. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, unspecified monetary damages (including enhanced damages), a future mandatory royalty, costs and attorneys fees. On January 17, 2025, Guardant separately sought a Declaratory Judgment against Tempus in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware regarding the veracity of certain advertisements Guardant has published regarding the companies’ respective products. On March 14, 2025, Tempus filed multiple counterclaims against Guardant under the Lanham Act and related states statutes alleging, among other things, that Guardant’s advertisements were false and misleading. Tempus filed a separate patent infringement complaint against Guardant in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California alleging that certain Guardant products infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 12,112,839, 11,640,859, 10,957,041, and 10,991,097. All cases are pending.

On June 12, 2025, the Company, Mr. Lefkofsky, our Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Rogers, our Chief Financial Officer, were named as defendants in a federal securities class-action lawsuit titled Shouse v. Tempus AI, Inc. et al, which is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint alleges that between August 6, 2024 and May 27, 2025, the defendants made false or misleading statements or omitted to state material facts regarding Tempus's business, operations, and prospects. We believe the complaint to be without merit, and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously against the allegations.

We assess legal contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual in its financial statements. When evaluating legal contingencies, we may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and/or the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matters. In addition, damage amounts claimed may be unsupported, exaggerated or unrelated to possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of potential liability. Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

54


 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, financial condition and operating results are affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including risks specific to us or the healthcare industry as well as risks that affect businesses in general. In addition to the information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should consider carefully the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2025. The risks and uncertainties disclosed in such Annual Report could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations and thus our stock price. Except as set forth below, during the second quarter of fiscal 2025, there were no material changes to our previously disclosed risk factors.

 

These risk factors may be important to understanding other statements in this Quarterly Report and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” and Part I, Item 2,“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Quarterly Report. Because of such risk factors, as well as other factors affecting our financial condition and operating results, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

Risks Related to Our Convertible Notes

Our Notes and the issuance of shares of our Class A common stock upon conversion of the Notes, if any, may impact our financial results, result in dilution to our stockholders, create downward pressure on the price of our Class A common stock, and restrict our ability to raise additional capital or to engage in a beneficial takeover.

In July 2025, we issued approximately $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030, or the Notes. We are subject to a variety of risks related to the Notes, such as:

 

servicing our debt requires a certain level of cash flow or financing from other sources, and our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal and interest, or to refinance or repurchase our Notes depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control;
our ability to refinance or repurchase our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time, and if we are unable to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, we may be unable to meet the obligations of our Notes;
if shares of our Class A common stock are issued to the holders of the Notes upon conversion, there will be dilution to our stockholders’ equity and the market price of our Class A common stock may decrease due to the additional selling pressure in the market.
certain provisions in the indentures governing the Notes may delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover attempt of us; and
we may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt, including the Notes, through cash purchases and/or exchanges for other securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. Further, any such purchases or exchanges may result in us acquiring and retiring a substantial amount of such indebtedness, which could impact the trading liquidity of such indebtedness.

The conditional conversion feature of the Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

In the event the conditional conversion feature of the Notes is triggered, holders of the Notes will be entitled to convert their Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their Notes, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our Class A common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.

The capped call transactions may affect the value of the Notes and our Class A common stock.

55


 

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, we entered into capped call transactions with one of the initial purchasers and certain other financial institutions, or the option counterparties. The capped call transactions cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of our Class A common stock initially underlying the Notes. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our Class A common stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.

In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates likely entered into various derivative transactions with respect to our Class A common stock and/or purchased shares of our Class A common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes, including with, or from, as the case may be, certain investors in the Notes. In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our Class A common stock and/or purchasing or selling our Class A common stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions following the issuance of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and are likely to do so during the 20 trading day period beginning on the 21st scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date of the Notes, or, to the extent we exercise the relevant election under the capped call transactions, following any repurchase, redemption, or conversion of the Notes). The potential effect, if any, of these transactions and activities on the market price of our Class A common stock or the Notes will depend in part on market conditions and cannot be ascertained at this time. Any of these activities could adversely affect the value of our Class A common stock and the value of the Notes.

We are subject to counterparty risk with respect to the capped call transactions.

The option counterparties are financial institutions, and we will be subject to the risk that any or all of them might default under the capped call transactions. Our exposure to the credit risk of the option counterparties will not be secured by any collateral.

Global economic conditions have from time to time resulted in the actual or perceived failure or financial difficulties of many financial institutions and could adversely affect the option counterparties’ performance under the capped call transactions. If an option counterparty becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our exposure at that time under the capped call transaction with such option counterparty. Our exposure will depend on many factors but, generally, an increase in our exposure will be correlated to an increase in the market price and in the volatility of our Class A common stock. In addition, upon a default by an option counterparty, we may suffer more dilution than we currently anticipate with respect to our Class A common stock. We can provide no assurances as to the financial stability or viability of the option counterparties.

In addition, the terms of the capped call transactions may be subject to adjustment, modification or, in some cases, renegotiation in the event of certain corporate and other transactions. The capped call transactions may not operate as we intend in the event that we are required to adjust the terms of such instruments as a result of transactions in the future or in the event of other unanticipated developments that may adversely affect the functioning of the capped call transactions.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

None.

Use of Proceeds

On June 17, 2024, we completed our IPO in which we issued and sold 11,100,000 shares of Class A common stock, at a public offering price of $37.00 per share. We received net proceeds of $382.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $28.7 million. In connection with the closing of the IPO, all shares of our then-outstanding convertible preferred stock automatically converted into an aggregate of 66,640,660 shares of Class A common stock. All shares sold were registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-279558), as amended (the “Registration statement”), declared effective by the SEC on June 13, 2024. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Allen acted as representatives of the underwriters for the IPO. The offering terminated after the sale of all securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement. No payments for such expenses were made directly or indirectly to (i) any of our officers or directors or their associates, (ii) any persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities, or (iii) any of our affiliates.

We used a portion of the net proceeds from our IPO to satisfy tax withholding and remittance obligations related to RSU Net Settlement and for working capital for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. There has been no material change in the expected use of the

56


 

net proceeds from our IPO as described in the Final Prospectus dated as of June 13, 2024 and filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) on June 17, 2024.

Item 5. Other Information

Reincorporation

On August 7, 2025, we filed (i) a certificate of conversion with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and (ii) articles of conversion with the Nevada Secretary of State, pursuant to which the reincorporation of the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada, or the Reincorporation, became effective on August 7, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, or the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, (i) our state of incorporation changed from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada; and (ii) the affairs of our Company ceased to be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and our Thirteenth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, and instead became governed by the laws of the State of Nevada and the articles of incorporation filed with the Nevada Secretary of State, or the Nevada Articles and the bylaws approved by our board of directors, or the Nevada Bylaws. The Reincorporation did not result in any change in the headquarters, business, jobs, management, properties, location of any of our offices or facilities, number of employees, obligations, assets, liabilities or net worth (other than as a result of the transaction costs related to the Reincorporation). The Reincorporation did not materially affect any of our material contracts with any third parties, and our rights and obligations under those material contractual arrangements continue to be the rights and obligations of our Company after the Reincorporation.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Delaware corporation, or Delaware Corporation Class A Common Stock automatically converted into one outstanding share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Nevada corporation, or Nevada Corporation Class A Common Stock or Class A Common Stock, and each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock of the Delaware corporation, par value $0.0001 per share, or Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock, automatically converted into one outstanding share of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Nevada corporation, or Nevada Corporation Class B Common Stock. Each book entry credit with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, will be automatically updated without any action required on behalf of the stockholders. At the Effective Time, each outstanding restricted stock award, restricted stock unit (including performance units), option, warrant or other right to acquire shares of Delaware Corporation Class A Common Stock or Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock automatically became a restricted stock award, restricted stock unit (including performance units), option, warrant or other right to acquire an equal number of shares of Nevada Corporation Class A Common Stock or Nevada Corporation Class B Common Stock, as applicable, under the same terms and conditions. The Nevada Corporation Class A Common Stock continues to be traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “TEM.”

Certain rights of our stockholders were changed as a result of the Reincorporation. A more detailed description of the Plan of Conversion, the Nevada Articles, the Nevada Bylaws, and the effects of the Reincorporation is set forth in our definitive proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2025. In addition, certain ministerial changes were made to the indenture for our 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030, or the Notes. The foregoing descriptions of the Plan of Conversion the Nevada Articles and the supplemental indenture for the Notes, or the Supplemental Indenture, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety to the Plan of Conversion, the Nevada Articles and the Supplemental Indenture filed as Exhibits 2.1, 3.1 and 4.5, respectively, to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference.

Amended and Restated Bylaws

On August 7, 2025, immediately following the Effective Time, our board of directors approved the amendment and restatement of the Nevada Bylaws, or the A&R Nevada Bylaws, to remove the requirement to provide a list of stockholders entitled to vote at stockholder meetings and to remove the restrictions on what can be delegated by our board of directors to committees of the board of directors as such restrictions are not required by the Nevada Revised Statutes, or the NRS. The foregoing description of the A&R Nevada Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety to the A&R Nevada Bylaws filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference.

Amended and Restated Articles

On August 7, 2025, immediately following the Effective Time, our board of directors approved an amendment of the Nevada Articles, or the A&R Articles, subject to obtaining the required stockholder approval thereof, to among other things, waive jury trials for internal actions in conformity with recent amendments to Nevada law, opt us out of certain statutory requirements regarding dividends and other distributions pursuant to NRS 78.288(2)(b), and opt out of the provisions of Nevada’s “combinations with interested stockholders” statutes (NRS 78.411 to 78.444). On August 8, 2025, stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock, or the Majority Stockholder, pursuant to an in accordance with NRS 78.320, 78.385, 78.390 and 78.403, approved the A&R Articles. We intend to file an information statement on Schedule 14C with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the actions taken by the Majority Stockholder and the A&R Articles will not become effective until the date that is 20 calendar days after a definitive information statement on Form 14C is first mailed or otherwise delivered to holders of our capital stock.

58


 

At the Market Sales Agreement

On August 8, 2025, we entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement, or the Sales Agreement, with Morgan Stanley & Co., LLC, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., TD Securities (USA), LLC and Allen & Company LLC, as sales agents, or collectively, the Sales Agents, pursuant to which we may offer and sell from time to time, at our option, shares of Class A Common Stock through the Sales Agents. The issuance and sale, if any, of shares of Class A Common Stock under the Sales Agreement will be made pursuant to an automatically effective registration statement on Form S-3 and the related prospectus included therein, or the ATM Prospectus, in each case to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, under the ATM Prospectus, we may offer and sell shares of Class A Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $500.0 million from time to time through the Sales Agents.

The sale, if any, of shares of our Class A Common Stock under the Sales Agreement will be made by any method permitted that is deemed to be an “at-the-market” equity offering as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, including sales made directly on The Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other trading market for the Class A Common Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agents will use their commercially reasonable efforts to sell the shares of Class A Common Stock from time to time, based upon our instructions.

The compensation payable to the Sales Agents as sales agents shall be up to 3.0% of the gross sales price of the shares of Class A Common Stock sold through the Sales Agents pursuant to the Sales Agreement. In addition, we will reimburse the Sales Agents for certain expenses incurred in connection with the Sales Agreement, and we have agreed in the Sales Agreement to provide indemnification and contribution to the Sales Agents against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

We are not obligated to make any sales of shares of Class A Common Stock under the Sales Agreement. The offering of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon (a) the election of the Sales Agents upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, (b) ten days’ advance notice from the Company to the Sales Agents or ten days’ advance notice from any of the Sales Agents to the Company or (c) otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement.

The foregoing summary of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety to the Sales Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference..

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Sales Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Sales Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, the Sales Agreement is incorporated herein by reference only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Sales Agreement and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company or its business, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in our periodic reports and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the shares of our Class A Common Stock discussed herein, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation, or sale of the shares of Class A Common Stock in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.

Grants of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

On August 7, 2025, the Compensation Committee of our board of directors, or the Committee, approved the following grants of performance-based restricted stock units, or PSUs, under the Tempus AI, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, or the Plan, to our named executive officers and principal financial officer: (i) Eric Lefkofsky, our Chief Executive Officer: 750,000 PSUs; (ii) Ryan Fukushima, our Chief Operating Officer: 199,800 PSUs; (iii) Andrew Polovin, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary: 99,900 PSUs; and (iv) Jim Rogers, our Chief Financial Officer: 99,900 PSUs.

The PSUs can be earned based on the satisfaction of certain performance-based vesting conditions during three overlapping performance periods—calendar year 2025, calendar years 2025 and 2026, and calendar years 2025, 2026 and 2027—and service-based vesting conditions following each of the performance periods. The performance-based vesting conditions are based 50% on the Company’s compound revenue growth for the applicable performance period and 50% on a comparison of the Company’s total shareholder return to the return of the Nasdaq Composite Index over the applicable performance period, and one-sixth of the total PSUs can be earned with respect to each performance goal for a performance period. If the Committee determines that a performance goal has been achieved for a performance period, the corresponding number of PSUs will vest on the vesting date (August 15, 2026, August 15, 2027, or August 15, 2028) that immediately follows the end of the applicable performance period, subject to the recipient’s continuous service through such date. If either performance goal is not achieved during one of the first two performance periods, but is

59


 

achieved during the final performance period, any PSUs with respect to such performance goal that had not previously been earned based on performance will vest on the final vesting date, subject to the recipient’s continued service through such date.

The PSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and the form of restricted stock unit agreement thereunder.

Disclosure of Trading Arrangements

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.

Except as permitted in Section 2(b) of this Part D of Article IV, any dividends or other distributions paid to the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be paid pro rata, on an equal priority, pari passu basis, unless different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.
(b)
The Company shall not declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution to the holders of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock payable in securities of the Company unless the same dividend or distribution with the same record date and payment date shall be declared and paid on all shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that (i) dividends or other distributions payable in shares of Class A Common Stock or rights to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock may be declared and paid to the holders of Class A Common Stock without the same dividend or distribution being declared and paid to the holders of the Class B Common Stock if, and only if, a dividend or other distribution payable

 


 

in shares of Class B Common Stock, or rights to acquire shares of Class B Common Stock, as applicable, are declared and paid to the holders of Class B Common Stock at the same rate and with the same record date and payment date; and (ii) dividends or other distributions payable in shares of Class B Common Stock or rights to acquire shares of Class B Common Stock may be declared and paid to the holders of Class B Common Stock without the same dividend or distribution being declared and paid to the holders of the Class A Common Stock if, and only if, a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Class A Common Stock, or rights to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock, as applicable, are declared and paid to the holders of Class A Common Stock at the same rate and with the same record date and payment date.
(c)

Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as otherwise set forth herein, holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the Articles of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation or applicable law.

(i)
amend, alter, or repeal any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Company (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”) in a manner that modifies the voting, conversion or other powers, preferences, or other special rights or privileges, or restrictions of the Class B Common Stock;

(ii)
Each holder of Class B Common Stock who elects to convert the same into shares of Class A Common Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor (if any), duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Class B Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares of Class B Common Stock being converted. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Class B Common Stock to be converted, or, if the shares are uncertificated, immediately prior to the close of business on the date that the holder delivers notice of such conversion to the Company’s transfer agent and the person entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Class A Common Stock at such time.
6.
Automatic Conversion.
(a)
Automatic Conversion of the Class B Common Stock. Each share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon a Transfer, other than a Permitted Transfer, of such share of Class B Common Stock. Such conversion shall occur automatically without the need for any further action by any holder of such share and whether or not the certificate(s) representing such share (if any) are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Class B Common Stock to be so converted are either delivered to the Company

 


 

or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. Upon the occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Class B Common Stock, the holders of the shares of Class B Common Stock so converted shall surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares (if any) at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Class A Common Stock.
(b)
Final Conversion. On the Final Conversion Date, each issued share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically, without any further action, convert into one share of Class A Common Stock. Following the Final Conversion Date, the Company may no longer issue any additional shares of Class B Common Stock. Such conversion shall occur automatically without the need for any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificate(s) representing such share (if any) are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Class B Common Stock to be so converted are either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. Upon the occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Class B Common Stock, the holders of the shares of Class B Common Stock so converted shall surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares (if any) at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Class A Common Stock.
(c)
Procedures. The Company may, from time to time, establish such policies and procedures relating to the conversion of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock and the general administration of this dual class stock structure, including the issuance of stock certificates (or the establishment of book-entry positions) with respect thereto, as it may deem reasonably necessary or advisable, and may from time to time request that holders of shares of Class B Common Stock furnish certifications, affidavits or other proof to the Company as it deems necessary to verify the ownership of Class B Common Stock and to confirm that a conversion to Class A Common Stock has not occurred. A determination by the Secretary of the Company as to whether a Transfer results in a conversion to Class A Common Stock shall be conclusive and binding.
(d)
Immediate Effect. In the event of a conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock to shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Section 6 of Part D of Article IV, such conversion(s) shall be deemed to have been made at the time that the Transfer of shares occurred or immediately upon the Final Conversion Date, as applicable. Upon any conversion of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock, all rights of the holder of shares of Class B Common Stock shall cease and the person or persons in whose names or names the certificate or certificates (or book-entry position(s)) representing the shares of Class A Common Stock are to be issued shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock.
7.
Redemption. The Common Stock is not redeemable.
8.
Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Class B Common Stock, as applicable, such number of its shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, as applicable, the Company will take such corporate action

 


 

as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to such numbers of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
9.
Prohibition on Reissuance of Shares. Shares of Class B Common Stock that are acquired by the Company for any reason (whether by repurchase, upon conversion, or otherwise) shall be retired in the manner required by law and shall not be reissued as shares of Class B Common Stock or otherwise.
V.

For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Company, and in further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Company, of its directors and of its stockholders or any class thereof, as the case may be, it is further provided that:

A.
Board of Directors.
1.
Generally. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or the NRS, the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The number of directors that shall constitute the Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by resolution(s) adopted by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Final Conversion Date, the number of directors that shall constitute the whole Board of Directors may also be fixed by a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class.

Election.
(a)
Directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of the stockholders to hold office until the next annual meeting.
(b)
No stockholder entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate votes.

Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall be filled by the affirmative vote of (a) a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by the sole remaining director, or (b) if such vacancy is created prior to the Final Conversion Date, the holders of a

 


 

majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified.
5.
Preferred Directors. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more series, have the right to elect additional directors, then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which such right continues: (i) the then otherwise total authorized number of directors of the Company shall automatically be increased by such specified number of directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the additional directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to said provisions; and (ii) each such additional director shall serve until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s right to hold such office terminates pursuant to said provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors in the resolution or resolutions establishing such series, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such stock, the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such stock, or elected or appointed to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate and the total authorized number of directors of the Company shall be reduced accordingly.

D.
Special Meetings of Stockholders.

C.
Any repeal or modification of this Article VI shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Article VI in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act giving rise to liability.
D.
Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada in Clark County, Nevada (the “Nevada Court”) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Nevada statutory or common law: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Company or any stockholder to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against the Company or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Company or any stockholder arising pursuant to any provision of the NRS, the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws (as each may be amended from time to time); (iv) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws (including any right, obligation or remedy thereunder); (v) any internal action (as defined in NRS 78.046) and any action or proceeding as to which jurisdiction of the District Courts of the State of Nevada is conferred by NRS Title 7; and (vi) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director, officer or other employee of the Company or any stockholder, governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. This Article VI shall not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
E.
Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause or causes of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including all causes of action asserted against any defendant named in such complaint. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision is intended to benefit and may be enforced the Company, its officers and directors, the underwriters to any offering giving rise to such complaint, and any other professional entity whose profession gives authority to a statement made by that person or entity and who has prepared or certified any part of the documents underlying the offering.

Section 2.
Annual Meetings.
(a)
The annual meeting of the stockholders of the corporation, for the purpose of election of directors and for such other business as may properly come before it, shall be held on such date and at such time as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the corporation and proposals of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders: (i) pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting of stockholders; (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof; or (iii) by any stockholder of the corporation who was a stockholder of record (and, with respect to any beneficial owner, if different, on whose behalf such business is proposed or such nomination or nominations are made, only if such beneficial owner was the beneficial owner of shares of the corporation) at the time of giving the stockholder’s notice provided for in Section 5(b) below, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 5. For the avoidance of doubt, clause (iii) above shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations and submit

 


 

other business (other than matters properly included in the corporation’s notice of meeting of stockholders and proxy statement under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “1934 Act”)) before an annual meeting of stockholders.
(b)
At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as is a proper matter for stockholder action under Nevada law, the corporation’s articles of incorporation (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Articles of Incorporation”) and these amended and restated bylaws (as further amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”), and as shall have been properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures below.
(i)
For nominations for the election to the Board of Directors to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 5(a), the stockholder must deliver written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(b)(iii) and must update and supplement such written notice on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(c). Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (A) as to each nominee such stockholder proposes to nominate at the meeting: (1) the name, age, business address and residence address of such nominee, (2) the principal occupation or employment of such nominee, (3) the class or series and number of shares of each class or series of capital stock of the corporation that are owned of record and beneficially by such nominee and a list of any pledge of or encumbrances on such shares, (4) the date or dates on which such shares were acquired and the investment intent of such acquisition, (5) the questionnaire, representations and agreements required by Section 5(c), completed and signed by such nominee that describes the statement that such nominee, if elected, intends to tender, promptly following such person’s failure to receive the required vote for election or re-election at the next meeting at which such person would face election or re-election, an irrevocable resignation effective upon acceptance of such resignation by the Board of Directors, and (6) all other information concerning such nominee as would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such nominee as a director in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved and whether or not proxies are being or will be solicited), or that is otherwise required to be disclosed pursuant to Section 14 of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named in the corporation’s proxy statement and associated proxy card as a nominee of the stockholder and to serving as a director if elected); and (B) all of the information required by Section 5(b)(iv). The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the corporation (as such term is used in any applicable stock exchange listing requirements or applicable law) or on any committee or sub-committee of the Board of Directors under any applicable stock exchange listing requirements or applicable law, or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such proposed nominee. The number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at an annual meeting on its own behalf (or in the case of a stockholder giving the notice on behalf of a beneficial owner, the number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at an annual meeting on behalf of such beneficial owner) shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such annual meeting. A stockholder may not designate any substitute nominees unless the stockholder provides timely notice of such substitute nominee(s) in accordance with this Section 5 (and such notice contains all of the information, representations, questionnaires and certifications with respect to such substitute nominee(s) that are required by the Bylaws with respect to nominees for director).
(ii)
Other than proposals sought to be included in the corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act, for business other than nominations for the election to the Board of Directors to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 5(a), the stockholder must deliver written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(b)(iii), and must update and supplement such written notice on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(c). Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (A) as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment), the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, and any material interest (including any anticipated benefit of

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made, or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws (including, without limitation, compliance with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the 1934 Act) and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, or the Proponent does not act in accordance with the representations in Sections 5(b)(iv)(D) and 5(b)(iv)(E), to declare that such proposal or nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded, or that such business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nomination or such business may have been solicited or received. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, unless otherwise required by applicable law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual meeting of stockholders of the corporation to present a nomination or proposed business, such nomination shall be disregarded (and such nominee disqualified from standing for election or re-election) and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that such nomination or proposed business is set forth in (as applicable) the corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials and notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of such vote may have been solicited or received by the corporation. For purposes of this Section 5(e), to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager, trustee or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders, and such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, shall be provided to the Secretary of the corporation at least five Business Days prior to the meeting of stockholders.

Section 3.
Special Meetings.
(a)
Special meetings of the stockholders of the corporation (i) may be called, for any purpose as is a proper matter for stockholder action under Nevada law, by (A) the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, (B) the Chief Executive Officer, or (C) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution is presented to the Board of Directors for adoption), and (ii) until the Final Conversion Date (as defined in the Articles of Incorporation) shall be called, for any purpose as is a proper matter for stockholder action under Nevada law, by the Secretary of the corporation upon written request of stockholders of record entitled to cast not less than a majority of the votes at such special meeting, provided that such written request is in compliance with the requirements of Section 6(b) hereof (“Stockholder-Requested Meeting”).
(b)
For a special meeting called pursuant to Section 6(a)(i), the Board of Directors shall determine the date, the time and place, if any, of such special meeting. Upon determination of the date, time and place, if any, of the meeting, the Secretary shall cause a notice of meeting to be given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7. For a Stockholder-Requested Meeting, the request shall (i) be in writing, signed and dated by a stockholder of record, (ii) set forth the purpose of calling the special meeting and include the information required by the stockholder’s notice as set forth in Section 5(b)(i) and in Section 5(b)(ii) (for the proposal of business other than nominations) and (iii) be delivered personally or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation.

Following determination of the time and place, if any, of the meeting, the Secretary shall cause a notice of meeting to be given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of these Bylaws. No business may be transacted at a special meeting, including a Stockholder-Requested Meeting, otherwise than as specified in the notice of meeting.
(c)
Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof or (ii) by any stockholder of the corporation who is a stockholder of record (and, with respect to any beneficial owner, if different, on whose behalf such nomination or nominations are made, only if such beneficial owner was the beneficial owner of shares of the corporation) at the time of giving notice provided for in this paragraph, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who delivers written notice to the Secretary of the corporation setting forth the information required by Sections 5(b)(i) and 5(b)(iv). The number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at a special meeting on its own behalf (or in the case of a stockholder giving the notice on behalf of a beneficial owner, the number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at a special meeting on behalf of such beneficial owner) shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such special meeting. In the event the corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder of record may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the corporation’s notice of meeting, if written notice setting forth the information required by Sections 5(b)(i) and 5(b)(iv) shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not earlier than 120 days prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such meeting or the tenth day following the day on which the corporation first makes a public announcement of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.

(d)
A person shall not be eligible for election or re-election as a director at the special meeting unless the person is nominated either in accordance with clause (i) or clause (ii) of Section 6(c). Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws (including, without limitation, compliance with Rule 14a-19 under the 1934 Act), or if the Proponent does not act in accordance with the representations in Sections 5(b)(iv)(D) and 5(b)(iv)(E), to declare that such nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded (and such nominee disqualified from standing for election or re-election), notwithstanding that such nomination is set forth in (as applicable) the corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials and, notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of such nomination may have been solicited or received. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, unless otherwise required by applicable law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder (meeting the requirements specified in Section 5(d)) does not appear at the special meeting of stockholders of the corporation to present a nomination, such nomination shall be disregarded (and such nominee disqualified from standing for election or re-election), notwithstanding that the nomination is set forth (as applicable) in the corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials and notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of such nomination may have been solicited or received by the corporation.
(e)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, a stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to matters set forth in this Section 6. Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations for the election to the Board of Directors to be considered pursuant to Section 6(c).
Section 4.
Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, notice, given in writing or by electronic transmission, of each meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. Such notice shall specify the place, if any, date and hour, in the case of special meetings, the purpose or purposes of the meeting, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such record date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at any such meeting. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the corporation. If sent via electronic transmission, notice is given when directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address unless (a) the stockholder has notified the corporation in writing or by electronic transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail or (b) electronic transmission of such notice is prohibited by applicable law. Notice of the time, place, if any, and purpose of any meeting of stockholders (to the extent required) may be waived in writing, signed by the person entitled to notice thereof, or by electronic transmission by such person, either before or after such meeting, and will be waived by any stockholder by his or her attendance thereat in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any stockholder so waiving notice of such meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Bylaws, any notice of a meeting of stockholders delivered pursuant to and in accordance with NRS 78.370(9) shall be deemed to have satisfied any and all requirements applicable to such notice under these Bylaws.
Section 5.
Quorum and Vote Required. At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by the NRS or by the Articles of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, the presence, in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy duly authorized (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on any matter), of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In

 


 

the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, either by the chairperson of the meeting or by vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares represented thereat and entitled to vote thereon, but no other business shall be transacted at such meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Except as otherwise provided by the NRS or by applicable stock exchange rules, or by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) on such matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise provided by the NRS, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except where otherwise provided by the NRS or by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws or any applicable stock exchange rules, a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on any matter), shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. Except where otherwise provided by the NRS or by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws or any applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority (or a plurality, in the case of the election of directors) of the voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) on such matter shall be the act of such class or classes or series.
Section 6.
Adjournment or Postponement and Notice of Adjourned or Postponed Meetings. Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be postponed by the Board of Directors or adjourned from time to time either by the chairperson of the meeting or by the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. When a meeting is adjourned to another date, time or place, if any, (including an adjournment taken to address a technical failure to convene or continue a meeting using remote communication) notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed present in person and may vote at such meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken or are (i) displayed, during the time scheduled for the meeting, on the same electronic network used to enable stockholders and proxy holders to participate in the meeting by means of remote communication or (ii) set forth in the notice of meeting given in accordance with Section 7. At any postponed or adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment or postponement is for more than 60 days from the meeting date set for the original meeting, the Board of Directors must fix a new record date and a notice of the adjourned or postponed meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned or postponed meeting. If after the adjournment or postponement a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned or postponed meeting, the Board of Directors shall give notice of the adjourned or postponed meeting to each stockholder of record as of the new record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned or postponed meeting.
Section 7.
Voting Rights. For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, or any postponement or adjournment thereof, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, only persons in whose names shares stand on the stock records of the corporation on the record date shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Every person entitled to vote shall have the right to do so either in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by an agent or agents authorized by a proxy granted in accordance with Nevada law. An agent so appointed need not be a stockholder. No proxy shall be voted after six months from its date of creation unless the proxy provides for a longer period, which may not exceed seven years. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient

 


 

in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary of the corporation a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot. Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use of the Board of Directors.
Section 8.
Joint Owners of Stock. If shares or other securities having voting power stand of record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety, or otherwise, or if two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect: (a) if only one votes, his or her act binds all; (b) if more than one votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all; or (c) if more than one votes, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally. If the instrument filed with the Secretary shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even-split for the purpose of subsection (c) shall be a majority or even-split in interest.
Section 9.
Reserved.
Section 10.
Action without Meeting.
(a)
Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, any action required by the NRS to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, may, until the Final Conversion Date (as defined in the Articles of Incorporation), be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, or by electronic transmission setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Following the Final Conversion Date, no action shall be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders called in accordance with the Bylaws and no action shall be taken by the stockholders by written consent.
(b)
In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, so long as such action is provided for, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, regardless of the effective date of the resolution.

The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within ten days after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date. If no request to fix a record date is made or no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within ten days of the date on which such a request is received, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Nevada, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

The Board of Directors may appoint and remove transfer agents and registrars of transfers, and may require all stock certificates to bear the signature of any such transfer agent and/or any such registrar of transfers.
Article VIII


OTHER SECURITIES OF THE CORPORATION
Section 1.
Execution of Other Securities. All bonds, debentures and other corporate securities of the corporation, other than stock certificates (covered in Section 35), may be signed by the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or any Vice President, or such other person as may be authorized by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that where any such bond, debenture or other corporate security shall be authenticated by the manual signature, or where permissible facsimile signature, of a trustee under an indenture pursuant to which such bond, debenture or other corporate security shall be issued, the signatures of the persons signing and attesting the corporate seal on such bond, debenture or other corporate security may be the imprinted facsimile of the signatures of such persons. Interest coupons appertaining to any such bond, debenture or other corporate security, authenticated by a trustee as aforesaid, shall be signed by an executive officer of the corporation or such other person as may be authorized by the Board of Directors, or bear imprinted thereon the facsimile signature of such person. In case any officer who shall have signed or attested any bond, debenture or other corporate security, or whose facsimile signature shall appear thereon or on any such interest coupon, shall have ceased to be such officer before the bond, debenture or other corporate security so signed or attested shall have been delivered, such bond, debenture or other corporate security nevertheless may be adopted by the corporation and issued and delivered as though the person who signed the same or whose facsimile signature shall have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer of the corporation.

INDEMNIFICATION
Section 1.
Indemnification of Directors, Executive Officers, Employees and Other Agents.
(a)
Directors and Executive Officers. The corporation shall indemnify to the full extent permitted under and in any manner permitted under the NRS or any other applicable law, any person who is made or threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (as a witness or otherwise) in any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (hereinafter, a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or executive officer (for the purposes of this Article XI, “executive officers” shall be those persons designated by the corporation as (a) executive officers for purposes of the disclosures required in the corporation’s proxy and periodic reports or (b) officers for purposes of Section 16 of the 1934 Act) of the corporation, or while serving as a director or executive officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (collectively, “Another Enterprise”), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines (including ERISA excise taxes or penalties) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such Proceeding if he or she (x) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or (y) acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that the corporation may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with its directors and executive officers; and, provided, further, that the corporation shall not be required to indemnify any director or executive officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by applicable law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under the NRS or any other applicable law or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under subsection (d) of this Section 45.
(b)
Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents. The corporation shall have the power to indemnify (including the power to advance expenses in a manner consistent with subsection (c) of this Section 45) its other officers, employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted under the

 


 

NRS or any other applicable law. The Board of Directors shall have the power to delegate the determination of whether indemnification shall be given to any such person except executive officers to such officers or other persons as the Board of Directors shall determine.
(c)
Expenses. The corporation shall advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or executive officer, of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or executive officer of Another Enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any director or executive officer in connection with such Proceeding provided, however, that if the NRS requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director or executive officer in his or her capacity as a director or executive officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 45 or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 45, no advance shall be made by the corporation to an executive officer of the corporation (except by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the corporation in which event this paragraph shall not apply) in any Proceeding, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by a majority vote of directors who were not parties to the Proceeding, even if not a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
(d)
Enforcement. Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and executive officers under this Section 45 shall be deemed to be contractual rights, shall vest when the person becomes a director or executive officer of the corporation, shall continue as vested contract rights even if such person ceases to be a director or executive officer of the corporation, and shall be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the corporation and the director or executive officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Section 45 to a director or executive officer shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within 90 days of request therefor. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting the claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification, the corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the NRS or any other applicable law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an executive officer of the corporation (except in any Proceeding, by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the corporation) for advances, the corporation shall be entitled to raise a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the NRS or any other applicable law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a director or executive officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that the director or executive officer is

 


 

not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Section 45 or otherwise shall be on the corporation.
(e)
Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Section 45 shall not be exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any applicable statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the NRS, or by any other applicable law.
(f)
Survival of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, executive officer, officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
(g)
Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by the NRS or any other applicable law, the corporation, upon approval by the Board of Directors, may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 45.
(h)
Amendments. Any repeal or modification of this Section 45 shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Section 45 as in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any Proceeding against any agent of the corporation.
(i)
Saving Clause. If this Article XI or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and executive officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Article XI that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law. If this Article XI shall be invalid due to the application of the indemnification provisions of another jurisdiction, then the corporation shall indemnify each director and executive officer to the full extent under any other applicable law.
(j)
Certain Definitions and Construction of Terms. For the purposes of Article XI of these Bylaws, the following definitions and rules of construction shall apply:
(i)
The term “Proceeding” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.

The term “expenses” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, court costs, attorneys’ fees, witness fees, fines, amounts paid in settlement or judgment and any other costs and expenses of any nature or kind incurred in connection with any Proceeding.
(iii)
The term the “corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger that, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section 45 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(iv)
References to a “director,” “executive officer,” “officer,” “employee,” or “agent” of the corporation shall include, without limitation, situations where such person is serving at the

 


 

request of the corporation as, respectively, a director, executive officer, officer, managing member or manager, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
(v)
References to “Another Enterprise” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation that imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this Section 45.
Article XII

Without limiting the manner by which notice may otherwise be given effectively to stockholders under any agreement or contract with such stockholder, and except as otherwise required by applicable law, written notice to stockholders for purposes other than stockholder meetings may be sent by U.S. mail or nationally recognized overnight courier, or by electronic mail or other electronic means.
(b)
Notice to Directors. Any notice required to be given to any director may be given by the method stated in subsection (a), as otherwise provided in these Bylaws (including by any of the means specified in Section 22(d)), or by overnight delivery service.

An affidavit of mailing, executed by a duly authorized and competent employee of the corporation or its transfer agent appointed with respect to the class of stock affected, or other agent, specifying the name and address or the names and addresses of the stockholder or stockholders, or director or directors, to whom any such notice or notices was or were given, and the time and method of giving the same, shall in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts therein contained.
(d)

Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the NRS, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

 


 

(f)
Notice to Stockholders Sharing an Address. Except as otherwise prohibited under the NRS, any notice given under the provisions of the NRS, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. Such consent shall have been deemed to have been given if such stockholder fails to object in writing to the corporation within 60 days of having been given notice by the corporation of its intention to send the single notice. Any consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation.
Article XIII


AMENDMENTS
Section 1.
Amendments. Subject to the limitations set forth in herein or the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws of the corporation by the Board of Directors shall require the approval of a majority of the authorized number of directors. The stockholders also shall have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation; provided, however, that, any time after the Final Conversion Date, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the corporation required by law or by the Articles of Incorporation, such action by stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

The loan, guarantee or other assistance may be with or without interest and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the Board of Directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation. Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the corporation at common law or under any statute.
Article XV


CHANGES IN NEVADA LAW

Article XVI


ACQUISITION OF CONTROLLING INTEREST STATUTES

 


 

Section 1.
Notwithstanding any other provision in these Bylaws to the contrary, and in accordance with the provisions of NRS 78.378, the provisions of NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive (or any successor statutes thereto), relating to acquisitions of controlling interests in the corporation, do not apply to the corporation or to any acquisition of shares of the corporation’s capital stock.

 


Exhibit 4.3

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE

SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

 

The following description of the capital stock of Tempus AI, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “our”), and certain provisions of the Company’s articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws (the “bylaws”), are summaries. These summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to Nevada law and the complete text of the articles of incorporation and restated bylaws, which are incorporated by reference as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to which this description is also an exhibit.

General

Under our articles of incorporation, our authorized capital stock consists of 1,025,500,000 shares, all with a par value of $0.0001 per share, of which:

1,000,000,000 shares are designated Class A common stock;
5,500,000 shares are designated Class B common stock; and
20,000,000 shares are designated preferred stock.

Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock

Voting Rights

The Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share on any matter that is submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to 30 votes per share on any matter submitted to our stockholders. Holders of shares of Class B common stock and Class A common stock vote together as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of stockholders, unless otherwise required by Nevada law or our articles of incorporation.

Under Nevada law, holders of our Class A common stock or Class B common stock would be entitled to vote as a separate class if a proposed amendment to our articles of incorporation would adversely alter or change any preference or any relative or other right given to such class. While our articles of incorporation provide that the holders of our Class A common stock do not have the right to vote as a separate class as to amendments to our articles of incorporation that would increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of Class A common stock, they are entitled to the other class protections provided under Nevada law. As a result, in these limited instances, the holders of a majority of the Class A common stock could defeat any amendment to our articles of incorporation. For example, if a proposed amendment of our articles of incorporation provided for the Class A common stock to rank junior to the Class B common stock with respect to (1) any dividend or other distribution, (2) the distribution of proceeds were we to be acquired or (3) any other right, Nevada law would require the vote of the Class A common stock. In this instance, the holders of a majority of Class A common stock could defeat that amendment to our articles of incorporation.

Our articles of incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors.

Economic Rights

Except as otherwise expressly provided in our articles of incorporation or otherwise required by applicable law, all shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock have the same rights and privileges and rank equally, share ratably and be identical in all respects for all matters, including those described below.

Dividends and Distributions

Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to share equally, identically, and ratably, on a per share basis,


Exhibit 4.3

with respect to any dividend or distribution of cash or property paid or distributed by the company, unless different treatment of the shares of the affected class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such affected class, voting separately as a class.

Liquidation Rights

On our liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to share equally, identically, and ratably in all assets remaining after the payment of any liabilities, liquidation preferences, and accrued or declared but unpaid dividends, if any, with respect to any outstanding preferred stock, unless a different treatment is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such affected class, voting separately as a class.

Change of Control Transactions

The holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are treated equally and identically with respect to shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock owned by them, unless different treatment of the shares of each class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the class treated differently, voting separately as a class, on (a) the closing of the sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, (b) the consummation of a merger, reorganization, consolidation, or share transfer which results in our voting securities outstanding immediately before the transaction (or the voting securities issued with respect to our voting securities outstanding immediately before the transaction) representing less than a majority of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the company or the surviving or acquiring entity or (c) the closing of the transfer (whether by merger, consolidation, or otherwise), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons of securities of the company if, after closing, the transferee person or group would hold 50% or more of the outstanding voting power of the company (or the surviving or acquiring entity), in each case, in which cash or other property is, pursuant to the express terms of such transaction, to be distributed to the stockholders in respect of their shares of our capital stock. However, consideration to be paid or received by a holder of common stock in connection with any such assets sale, merger, reorganization, consolidation, or share transfer under any employment, consulting, severance, or other arrangement will be disregarded for the purposes of determining whether holders of common stock are treated equally and identically.

Subdivisions and Combinations

If we subdivide or combine in any manner outstanding shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock, the outstanding shares of the other classes will be subdivided or combined in the same manner.

No Preemptive or Similar Rights

Our Class A common stock and Class B common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights, and are not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions, except for the conversion provisions with respect to the Class B common stock described below.

Conversion

Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of Class A common stock. On any transfer of shares of Class B common stock, whether or not for value, each such transferred share will automatically convert into one share of Class A common stock, except for certain transfers detailed below and further described in our articles of incorporation.

Any holder’s shares of Class B common stock will convert automatically into Class A common stock, on a one-to-one basis, upon certain circumstances, including: (1) the sale or transfer of such shares of Class B common stock, other than to any person or entity which, directly or directly, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the holder of such shares of Class B common stock making such transfer; (2) the trading day that is no less than 90 days and no more than 150 days following June 17, 2044; (3) the date on which Mr. Lefkofsky is no longer providing services to us as an executive officer or member of our board of directors; and (4) the trading day that is no less than 90 days and no more than 150 days following the date that Mr. Lefkofsky and his controlled entities hold, in the


Exhibit 4.3

aggregate, fewer than 10,000,000 shares of our capital stock (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions and recapitalizations).

Any shares of the Class B common stock that have been converted or are otherwise acquired by us may not be reissued.

Preferred Stock

Under our articles of incorporation, our board of directors may, without further action by our stockholders (except as noted below), fix the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of up to an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and authorize their issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any shares of Class B common stock remain outstanding, no shares of preferred stock with voting rights equal or superior to those of the Class B common stock may be issued without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock. These rights, preferences, and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of our Class A common stock or Class B common stock. Any issuance of our preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our Class A common stock or Class B common stock, and the likelihood that such holders would receive dividend or other distribution payments and payments on liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change of control or other corporate action. We have no present plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Registration Rights

Stockholder Registration Rights

We are party to an investor rights agreement that provides that certain holders of our convertible preferred stock, including certain holders of at least 5% of our capital stock and entities affiliated with certain of our directors, have certain registration rights, as set forth below. This investor rights agreement was entered into in April 2024. The registration of shares of our Class A common stock (including shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of Class B common stock) by the exercise of registration rights described below would enable the holders to sell these shares without restriction under the Securities Act when the applicable registration statement is declared effective. We will pay the registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, of the shares registered by the demand, piggyback, and Form S-3 registrations described below.

Generally, in an underwritten offering, the managing underwriter, if any, has the right, subject to specified conditions, to limit the number of shares such holders may include. The demand, piggyback, and Form S-3 registration rights described below will expire five years after the date of our initial public offering (the “IPO Date”), or with respect to any particular stockholder, such time after the IPO Date that such stockholder (a) holds less than 1% of our outstanding common stock (including shares issuable on conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock) and (b) can sell all of its shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) during any 90-day period.

Demand Registration Rights

The holders of the registerable securities are entitled to certain demand registration rights. At any time after December 13, 2024, the holders of a majority of these shares may, on not more than two occasions, request that we register all or a portion of their shares. Such request for registration must cover shares with an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, of at least $15.0 million.

Piggyback Registration Rights

In the event that we propose to, subject to limited exceptions, register any of our securities under the Securities Act, either for our own account or for the account of other security holders, the holders of these shares are entitled to certain piggyback registration rights allowing the holder to include their shares in such registration, subject to certain marketing and other limitations. As a result, whenever we propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act, other than with respect to a demand registration or a registration statement on Forms S-4 or S-8, the holders of


Exhibit 4.3

these shares are entitled to notice of the registration and have the right to include their shares in the registration, subject to limitations that the underwriters may impose on the number of shares included in the offering.

Form S-3 Registration Rights

The holders of an aggregate of at least 20% of the then outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to certain Form S-3 registration rights. The holders of an aggregate of at least 20% of these shares can make a request that we register their shares on Form S-3 if we are qualified to file a registration statement on Form S-3 and if the reasonably anticipated aggregate gross proceeds of the shares offered would equal or exceed $1.0 million. We will not be required to effect more than two registrations on Form S-3 within any 12-month period.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

Because our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of our shares of common stock are able to elect all of our directors. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide for stockholder actions at a duly called meeting of stockholders or, so long as any shares of Class B common stock remain outstanding, by written consent. A special meeting of stockholders may be called by a majority of our board of directors, the chair of our board of directors, our chief executive officer, or, so long as any shares of Class B common stock remain outstanding, by our secretary upon written consent of our stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes at such meeting. Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to our board of directors.

Our articles of incorporation further provide for a dual-class common stock structure, which provides Eric Lefkofsky, our Chief Executive Officer, Founder, and Chairman, who beneficially owns 100% of our outstanding Class B common stock, with control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets. Additionally, so long as any shares of Class B common stock remain outstanding, a majority vote of the outstanding Class B common stock is required to (1) amend, alter, or repeal any provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws in a manner that modifies the rights of the holders of the Class B common stock, (2) reclassify any outstanding shares of Class A common stock into shares having (a) dividend or liquidation rights that are senior to the Class B common stock or (b) the right to more than one vote per share, (3) issue any shares of preferred stock having voting rights equal or superior to those of the Class B common stock, and (4) issue any additional shares of Class B common stock or other securities convertible into Class B common stock (except for the issuance of Class B common stock issuable upon a dividend or other distribution under certain circumstances).

The foregoing provisions will make it more difficult for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our board of directors. Since our board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated convertible preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue convertible preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change our control.

These provisions, including the dual-class structure of our common stock, are intended to preserve our existing control structure, facilitate our continued product innovation and the risk-taking that it requires, permit us to continue to prioritize our long-term goals rather than short-term results, enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our board of directors and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of us. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in our control or management. As a consequence, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts.


Exhibit 4.3

Nevada “Combinations with Interested Stockholders” Statutes

Nevada’s “combinations with interested stockholders” statutes (Nevada Revised Statutes 78.411 through 78.444, inclusive) prohibit specified types of business “combinations” between certain Nevada corporations and any person deemed to be an “interested stockholder” for two years after such person first becomes an “interested stockholder” unless the corporation’s board of directors approves, in advance, either the combination or the transaction by which such person becomes an “interested stockholder,” or unless the combination is approved by the board of directors and sixty percent of the corporation’s voting power not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder, its affiliates and associates. Further, in the absence of prior approval certain restrictions may apply even after such two-year period. However, these statutes do not apply to any combination of a corporation and an interested stockholder after the expiration of four years after the person first became an interested stockholder. For purposes of these statutes, an “interested stockholder” is any person who is (1) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (2) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the two previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term “combination” is sufficiently broad to cover most significant transactions between a corporation and an “interested stockholder.” These statutes generally apply to Nevada corporations with 200 or more stockholders of record. However, a Nevada corporation may elect in its articles of incorporation not to be governed by these particular laws, but if such election is not made in the corporation’s original articles of incorporation or in an amendment effective prior to the company having 200 or more stockholders of record, then the amendment (1) must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of stock representing a majority of the outstanding voting power of the corporation not beneficially owned by interested stockholders or their affiliates and associates, and (2) is not effective until 18 months after the vote approving the amendment and does not apply to any combination with a person who first became an interested stockholder on or before the effective date of the amendment. We have not made an election to opt out of these statutes in our articles of incorporation, and so these statutes could apply to us in the event we have 200 or more stockholders of record.

Choice of Forum

Our articles of incorporation provide that the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada be the exclusive forum for actions or proceedings brought under Nevada statutory or common law: (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (2) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed to us or our stockholders by any of our current or former directors, officers or other employees, or any of our stockholders; (3) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former directors, officers or other employees, or any of our stockholders, arising pursuant to any provision of the Nevada Revised Statutes, our articles of incorporation or bylaws, as each may be amended from time to time; (4) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our articles of incorporation or bylaws, including any right, obligation or remedy thereunder; (5) any internal action (as defined in NRS 78.046) and any action or proceeding as to which jurisdiction of the District Courts of the State of Nevada is conferred by Title 7 of the Nevada Revised Statutes; and (6) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers or other employees, or any of our stockholders, governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. The provisions would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. Our articles of incorporation further provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America are the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause or causes of action arising under the Securities Act, including all causes of action asserted against any defendant to such complaint. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision is intended to benefit and may be enforced by us, our officers and directors, the underwriters to any offering giving rise to such complaint, and any other professional entity whose profession gives authority to a statement made by that person or entity and who has prepared or certified any part of the documents underlying the offering. Investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Exchange Listing

Our Class A common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “TEM.”

FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of August 7, 2025 (this “Supplemental Indenture”), by and between Tempus AI, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), as issuer, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States of America, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to the Indenture, dated as of July 3, 2025 (as the same may be further supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee.

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered the Indenture, pursuant to which the Company issued its 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) in the original aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000;

WHEREAS, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 7, 2025, the Company shall convert from a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware into a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Nevada Corporation” and such transaction, the “Reincorporation”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Reincorporation, each share of Class A Common Stock (as defined in the Indenture) of the Company will convert into one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Nevada Corporation (the “Nevada Corporation Common Stock”);

WHEREAS, the Reincorporation will constitute a Share Exchange Event pursuant to Section 14.07(a) of the Indenture;

WHEREAS, Section 14.07(a) of the Indenture provides, among other things, that in the event of a Share Exchange Event, the Company will execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that at and after the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Share Exchange Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”) upon such Share Exchange Event; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Share Exchange Event (A) the Company or the successor or acquiring Person, as the case may be, shall continue to have the right to determine the form of consideration to be paid or delivered, as the case may be, upon conversion of Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 of the Indenture and (B)(I) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 of the Indenture shall continue to be payable in cash, (II) any shares of Class A Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 of the Indenture shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Class A Common Stock would have received in such Share Exchange Event and (III) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Class A Common Stock would have received in such Share Exchange Event;

WHEREAS, Section 10.01 of the Indenture provides that the Company and the Trustee may enter into any supplemental indenture without the consent of any Holder, among other things, (i) in connection with any Share Exchange Event, to provide that the Notes are convertible into Reference Property, subject to the provisions of Section 14.02 of the Indenture, and make such related changes to the terms of the Notes to the extent expressly required by Section 14.07 of the Indenture; or (ii) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder;

WHEREAS, in connection with the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee has received an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as contemplated by Sections 10.05 and 17.05 of the Indenture; and

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Tempus AI, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), confirms its agreement (this “Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., TD Securities (USA) LLC and Allen & Company LLC (each, an “Agent” and, together, the “Agents”), as follows:

1.
Issuance and Sale of Shares. The Company agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, it may issue and sell through or to one of the Agents, as sales agents or principals, shares (the “Placement Shares”) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company issue or sell through the Agents such number or dollar amount of Placement Shares that would (a) exceed the number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock registered on the effective Registration Statement (defined below) pursuant to which the offering is being made, (b) exceed the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (less shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any outstanding securities of the Company or otherwise reserved from the Company’s authorized capital stock), (c) exceed the number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock permitted to be sold under Form S-3 (including General Instruction I.B.6 thereof, if applicable) or (d) exceed the number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock for which the Company has filed an ATM Prospectus (defined below) (the lesser of (a), (b), (c) and (d), the “Maximum Amount”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties

 


 

hereto agree that compliance with the limitations set forth in this Section 1 on the number of Placement Shares issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company and that the Agents shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The issuance and sale of Placement Shares through the Agents will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below), although nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Company to use the Registration Statement to issue any Placement Shares.

The Company has filed or will file, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Securities Act”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3, including a base prospectus, relating to certain securities, including the Placement Shares, to be issued from time to time by the Company, and which incorporates by reference documents that the Company has filed or will file in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Exchange Act”). The Company has prepared a prospectus included as part of such registration statement specifically relating to the Placement Shares (the “ATM Prospectus”). The Company will furnish to the Agents, for use by the Agents, copies of any prospectus included as part of such registration statement, including the ATM Prospectus, relating to the Placement Shares. Except where the context otherwise requires, such registration statement(s), including all documents filed as part thereof or incorporated by reference therein, and including any information contained in a Prospectus (as defined below) subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or deemed to be a part of such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B of the Securities Act, and any one or more additional effective registration statements on Form S-3 from time to time that will contain a base prospectus and related prospectus or prospectus supplement, if applicable (which shall be an ATM Prospectus), with respect to the Placement Shares, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” The ATM Prospectus, including all documents incorporated or deemed incorporated therein by reference to the extent such information has not been superseded or modified in accordance with Rule 412 of the Securities Act (as qualified by Rule 430(g) of the Securities Act), included in the Registration Statement, as it may be supplemented, if necessary, by any prospectus supplement, in the form in which such prospectus or prospectuses and/or prospectus supplements have most recently been filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, together with the then issued Issuer Free Writing Prospectus(es) (as defined below), is herein called the “Prospectus.”

Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”), including, unless the context otherwise requires, the documents, if any, filed as exhibits to such Incorporated Documents. Any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act on or after the most-recent effective date of the Registration Statement, or the date of the Prospectus or such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, and incorporated therein by reference. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include the most recent copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System, or if

2

 


 

applicable, the Interactive Data Electronic Application system when used by the Commission (collectively, “EDGAR”).

2.
Placements. Each time that the Company wishes to issue and sell Placement Shares hereunder (each, a “Placement”), it will notify an Agent (the “Designated Agent”) by email notice (or other method mutually agreed to by the parties) of the number of Placement Shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of Placement Shares that may be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made (a “Placement Notice”), the form of which is attached hereto as Schedule 1. The Placement Notice shall originate from any of the individuals from the Company set forth on Schedule 3 (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Company listed on such schedule), and shall be addressed to each of the individuals from the Designated Agent as set forth on Schedule 3, as such Schedule 3 may be amended from time to time. The Placement Notice shall be effective immediately upon receipt by the Designated Agent unless and until (i) the Designated Agent declines in writing to accept the terms contained therein for any reason, in its sole discretion, (ii) the entire amount of the Placement Shares thereunder has been sold, (iii) the Company suspends, amends, supersedes or terminates the Placement Notice or (iv) this Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 12. The amount of any discount, commission or other compensation to be paid by the Company to the Designated Agent in connection with the sale of the Placement Shares shall be calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule 2. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Company nor the Designated Agent will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any Placement Shares unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to the Designated Agent and the Designated Agent does not decline (and the Company does to suspend or terminate) such Placement Notice pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified therein and herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice, the terms of the Placement Notice will control.
3.
Sale of Placement Shares by the Agents. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(a), the Agent, for the period specified in a Placement Notice, the Designated Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Exchange”), to sell the Placement Shares up to the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of, such Placement Notice. The Designated Agent will provide written confirmation to the Company no later than the opening of the Trading Day (as defined below) immediately following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Placement Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Placement Shares sold on such day, the compensation payable by the Company to the Designated Agent pursuant to Section 2 with respect to such sales, and the Net Proceeds (as defined below) payable to the Company, with an itemization of the deductions made by the Designated Agent (as set forth in Section 5(b)) from the gross proceeds that it receives from such sales. Subject to the terms of a Placement Notice, the Designated Agent may sell Placement Shares in negotiated transactions, including block trades or Block Sales, or by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, including without limitation sales made through the Exchange or on any other existing trading market for the Common Stock, or by any other method permitted by law. In the event the Company engages the Designated Agent for a sale of Placement Shares that would constitute a “block” within the meaning of Rule 10b-18(a)(5) under the Exchange Act (a “Block

3

 


 

Sale”), the Company will provide the Designated Agent, at such Agent’s request and upon reasonable advance notice to the Company, on or prior to the Settlement Date (as defined below), the opinions of counsel, accountant’s letter and officers’ certificates set forth in Section 7 hereof with respect to a Representation Date, each dated the Settlement Date, and such other documents and information as the Designated Agent shall reasonably request. “Trading Day” means any day on which shares of Common Stock are purchased and sold on the Exchange.
4.
Suspension of Sales. The Company or the Designated Agent may, upon notice to the other party in writing (including by email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 3, if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged by any of the individuals to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply) or by telephone (confirmed immediately by verifiable facsimile transmission or email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 3), suspend the sale of Placement Shares (a “Suspension”); provided, however, that such Suspension shall not affect or impair any party’s obligations with respect to any Placement Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. While a Suspension is in effect, any obligation under Sections 7(l), 7(m), and 7(n) with respect to the delivery of certificates, opinions, or comfort letters to the Agents shall be waived. Each of the parties agrees that no such notice under this Section 4 shall be effective against any other party unless it is made to one of the individuals named on Schedule 3 hereto, as such Schedule may be amended from time to time, and no such notice by an Agent under this Section shall be effective with respect to another Agent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during any period in which the Company is in possession of material non-public information and at any time during the periods on which trading of the Company’s securities is prohibited under the Company’s insider trading policy, the Company and the Agents agree that (i) no sale of Placement Shares will take place, (ii) the Company shall not request the sale of any Placement Shares, and (iii) the Agents shall not be obligated to sell or offer to sell any Placement Shares.
5.
Sale and Delivery to the Agents; Settlement.
(a)
Sale of Placement Shares. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, upon the Designated Agent’s acceptance of the terms of a Placement Notice, and unless the sale of the Placement Shares described therein has been declined, suspended, or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Designated Agent, for the period specified in the Placement Notice, will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Placement Shares up to the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of, such Placement Notice. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that the Designated Agent will be successful in selling Placement Shares, (ii) the Designated Agent will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Placement Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Designated Agent to use their commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Placement Shares as required under this Agreement and (iii) the Agents shall be under no obligation to purchase Placement Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise agreed by the Designated Agent and the Company.
(b)
Settlement of Placement Shares. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Placement Notice, settlement for sales of Placement Shares will occur on the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which such sales are made (each, a “Settlement Date”). The

Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with each of the Agents that as of the date of this Agreement and as of each Applicable Time (as defined below), unless such representation, warranty or agreement specifies a different time:
(a)
Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has been issued under the 1933 Act, no order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus has been issued and no proceedings for any of those purposes have been instituted or are pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, contemplated. The Company has complied with each request (if any) from the Commission for additional information.

The transactions contemplated by this Agreement meet the requirements for and comply with the applicable conditions set forth in Form S-3 (including General Instructions I.A and I.B) under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement has been or will be filed with the Commission and has been or will be declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act prior to the issuance of any Placement Notices by the Company. The Prospectus will name the Agents as the agents in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.” At the time the Registration Statement becomes effective and at the time the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K was filed with the Commission, if later, the Company was, or will be, a “well known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and will become effective upon filing. The Company has not received, and has no notice of, any order of the Commission preventing or suspending the use of the Registration Statement, objecting to the Company’s use of the automatic shelf registration form, or threatening or instituting proceedings for that purpose. The Registration Statement and the offer and sale of Placement Shares as contemplated hereby meet the requirements of Rule 415 under the Securities Act and comply in all material respects with said Rule. Any statutes, regulations, contracts or other documents that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement have been so described or filed, as applicable. Copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, and any such amendments or supplements and all documents incorporated by reference therein that were filed with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Agreement have been delivered, or are available through EDGAR, to the Agents and their counsel. The Company has not distributed and, prior to the later to occur of each Settlement Date and completion of the distribution of the Placement Shares, will not distribute any offering material in connection with the offering or sale of the Placement Shares other than the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to which the Agents have consented, any such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and is currently listed on the Exchange under the trading symbol “TEM.” The Company has taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act, delisting the Common Stock from the Exchange, nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission or the Exchange is contemplating terminating such registration or listing. To the Company’s knowledge, it is in compliance with all applicable listing requirements of the Exchange.

applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act or, in the case of any document to be incorporated therein by reference, to be filed with the Commission as required pursuant to the Exchange Act, within the time period prescribed (the determination to file or not file any amendment or supplement with the Commission under this Section 7(a), based on the Company’s reasonable opinion or reasonable objections, shall be made exclusively by the Company).
(b)
Notice of Commission Stop Orders. The Company will advise the Agents, promptly after it receives notice or obtains knowledge thereof, of the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, of the suspension of the qualification of the Placement Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose; and it will promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such a stop order should be issued.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Company and the Subsidiaries will maintain and keep accurate books and records reflecting their assets and maintain internal accounting controls in a manner designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and including those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, (iii) that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with management’s and the Company’s directors’ authorization, and (iv) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on its financial statements.

26

 


 

satisfactory to it in its reasonable judgment, and to the continuing satisfaction (or waiver by such Agent in its sole discretion) of the following additional conditions:
(a)
Registration Statement Effective. The Registration Statement shall remain effective and shall be available for the (i) resale of all Placement Shares issued to the Agents and not yet sold by the Agents and (ii) sale of all Placement Shares contemplated to be issued by any Placement Notice.
(b)
No Material Notices. None of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) receipt by the Company of any request for additional information from the Commission or any other federal or state Governmental Authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the response to which would require any post-effective amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state Governmental Authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Placement Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) the occurrence of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any Incorporated Document untrue or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or Incorporated Documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, that in the case of the Prospectus or any Incorporated Document, it will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(c)
No Misstatement or Material Omission. No Agent shall have advised the Company that the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, contains an untrue statement of fact that in such Agent’s reasonable opinion is material, or omits to state a fact that in the Agent’s reasonable opinion is material and is required to be stated therein or is necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
(d)
Material Changes. Except as contemplated in the Prospectus, or disclosed in the Company’s reports filed with the Commission, there shall not have been any material adverse change in the authorized capital stock of the Company or any Material Adverse Effect or any development that would cause a Material Adverse Effect, or a downgrading in or withdrawal of the rating assigned to any of the Company’s securities by any rating organization or a public announcement by any rating organization that it has under surveillance or review its rating of any of the Company’s securities, the effect of which, in the case of any such action by a rating organization described above, in the reasonable judgment of the Agents (without relieving the Company of any obligation or liability it may otherwise have), is so material as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering of the Placement Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.
(e)
Company Counsel Legal Opinions. The Agents shall have received the opinion and negative assurance letter of Company Counsel required to be delivered pursuant to

27

28

 


 

(o)

10.
Indemnification and Contribution.
(a)
Company Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Agents, their affiliates and their respective partners, members, directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls such Agent or affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act as follows:
(i)
against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(ii)
against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, joint or several, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 10(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be delayed or withheld; and
(iii)
against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission (whether or not a party), to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above,

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made solely in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agents Information (as defined below).

(b)
Agent Indemnification. Each of the Agents agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 10(a), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendments thereto), the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or

29

 


 

supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Agents and furnished to the Company in writing by such Agent expressly for use therein. The Company hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Agents have furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) is the name of each such Agent (the “Agent Information”).
(c)
Procedure. Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 10 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 10, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from (i) any liability that it might have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 10 and (ii) any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provisions of this Section 10 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in the defense of the action, provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the prior written consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable and documented costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with such defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (3) a conflict or potential conflict of interest exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (4) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action or counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in each case, within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action; in each of which cases the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm (plus local counsel) admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred after the indemnifying party receives notice of such fees, disbursements and other charges. An indemnifying party will not, in any event, be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 10 (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (1) includes an express and unconditional release of each indemnified

30

 


 

party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (2) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d)
Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 10(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (1) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (2) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (3) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
(e)
Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 10 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable or insufficient from the Company or the Agents, the Company and the Agents will contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted) to which the Company and the Agents may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other hand. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the sale of the Placement Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total compensation received by the Agents from the sale of Placement Shares on behalf of the Company. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Agents, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omission that resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Agents, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Agents agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 10(e) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense, or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 10(e) shall be deemed to include, for the purpose of this Section 10(e), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent consistent with Section 10(c) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10(e), the Agents shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the commissions received by it under

31

 


 

this Agreement and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 10(e), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Securities Act, any affiliates of the Agents and any officers, directors, partners, employees or agents of the Agents or any of their affiliates, will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each director of the Company and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 10(e), will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 10(e) except to the extent that the failure to so notify such other party materially prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party from whom contribution is sought. Except for a settlement entered into pursuant to the last sentence of Section 10(c) hereof, no party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to Section 10(c) hereof.
11.
Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 10 of this Agreement and all representations and warranties of the Company herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive, as of their respective dates, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agents, any controlling persons, or the Company (or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or controlling persons), (ii) delivery and acceptance of the Placement Shares and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.
12.
Termination.
(a)
Each of the Agents may terminate this Agreement, with respect to itself, by notice to the Company, as hereinafter specified at any time (1) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the date as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any change, or any development or event involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the business, properties, earnings, results of operations or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, which individually or in the aggregate, in the sole judgment of such Agent, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to market the Placement Shares or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Placement Shares, (2) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of such Agent, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Placement Shares or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Placement Shares, (3) if trading in the Common Stock has been suspended or limited by the Commission or the Exchange, or if trading generally on the Exchange has been suspended or limited, or minimum prices for trading have been fixed on the Exchange, (4) if any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall have occurred and be continuing, (5) if a major disruption of securities settlements or

32

 


 

clearance services in the United States shall have occurred and be continuing, or (6) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either U.S. Federal or New York authorities. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8 (Payment of Expenses), Section 10 (Indemnification and Contribution), Section 11 (Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery), Section 17 (Governing Law and Time; Waiver of Jury Trial) and Section 18 (Consent to Jurisdiction) hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. If the Agents elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 12(a), the Agents shall provide the required notice as specified in Section 13 (Notices).
(b)
The Company shall have the right, by giving ten (10) days’ notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8 (Payment of Expenses), Section 10 (Indemnification and Contribution), Section 11 (Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery), Section 17 (Governing Law and Time; Waiver of Jury Trial) and Section 18 (Consent to Jurisdiction) hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.
(c)
Each of the Agents shall have the right, by giving ten (10) days’ notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement with respect to such Agent, which termination shall not affect the validity of this Agreement with respect to any other Agent. Any such termination by an Agent shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8 (Payment of Expenses), Section 10 (Indemnification and Contribution), Section 11 (Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery), Section 17 (Governing Law and Time; Waiver of Jury Trial) and Section 18 (Consent to Jurisdiction) hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.
(d)
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 12(a), (b), (c) or (d) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided, however, that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section 8 (Payment of Expenses), Section 10 (Indemnification and Contribution), Section 11 (Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery), Section 17 (Governing Law and Time; Waiver of Jury Trial) and Section 18 (Consent to Jurisdiction) hereof shall remain in full force and effect.
(e)
Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Agents or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Placement Shares, such Placement Shares shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
13.

References to any of the parties contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the successors and permitted assigns of such party. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Neither the

35

15.
Adjustments for Stock Splits. The parties acknowledge and agree that all share-related numbers contained in this Agreement shall be adjusted to take into account any share consolidation, stock split, stock dividend, corporate re-domiciliation or similar event effected with respect to the Placement Shares.
16.
Entire Agreement; Amendment; Severability; Waiver. This Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits attached hereto and Placement Notices issued pursuant hereto) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Company and the Agents.

Tempus AI, Inc.
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of _________________, 20__ and is between Tempus AI, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and ______________ (“Indemnitee”).

Recitals

A. Indemnitee’s service to the Company substantially benefits the Company.

B. Individuals are reluctant to serve as directors or officers of corporations or in certain other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or indemnification against the risks of claims and actions against them arising out of such service.

C. Indemnitee does not regard the protection currently provided by applicable law, the Company’s governing documents and any insurance as adequate under the present circumstances, and Indemnitee may not be willing to serve as a director or officer without additional protection.

D. In order to induce Indemnitee to provide or continue to provide services to the Company, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company to contractually obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, Indemnitee as permitted by applicable law.

E. This Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the indemnification provided in the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and this Agreement shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor shall this Agreement be deemed to limit, diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.

During any period of two consecutive years (not including any period prior to the execution of this Agreement), individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Company’s board of directors and any Approved Directors cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors. “Approved Directors” means new directors (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in Sections 1(b)(i), 1(b)(iii) or 1(b)(iv)) whose election or nomination by the board of directors (or, if applicable, by the Company’s stockholders) was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of such two-year period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved;
(iii)
Corporate Transactions. The effective date of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation that would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation and with the power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of such surviving entity.

Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee.
(g)

to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law” means to the fullest extent permitted by all applicable laws, including without limitation: (i) the fullest extent permitted by the NRS as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the NRS adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a corporation may indemnify its officers and directors.

2.
Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings.

Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.

4.
Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that Indemnitee is a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection therewith.

The parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall provide to the fullest extent permitted by law for indemnification in excess of that expressly permitted by statute, including, without limitation, any indemnification provided by the Company’s articles of incorporation (as amended from time to time, the “Articles of Incorporation”), the Company’s bylaws (as amended from time to time, the “Bylaws”), vote of the Company’s stockholders or disinterested directors or applicable law.

(b)
for an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory law or common law, if Indemnitee is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);
(c)
for any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), if Indemnitee is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

In furtherance of paragraph (d) of this Section 8, Indemnitee hereby agrees to abide by the terms of any Clawback Policy, including, without limitation, by returning any compensation to the Company to the extent required by, and in a manner permitted by, the Clawback Policy, and hereby understands and agrees that Indemnitee shall not be entitled to any (x) indemnification for any liability (including any amounts owed by Indemnitee in a judgment or settlement of any Clawback Proceeding) or loss (including judgments, fines, taxes, penalties or amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of Indemnitee) incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Clawback Proceeding or (y) indemnification or advancement of Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) from the Company and or any subsidiary of the Company incurred by Indemnitee in connection any Clawback Proceeding; provided, however, if Indemnitee is successful on the merits in the defense of any claim asserted against Indemnitee in a Clawback Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified for the Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) Indemnitee reasonably incurred to defend such claim. Indemnitee hereby knowingly, voluntarily and

5


 

intentionally waives, and agrees not to assert any claim regarding, all indemnification, advancement of Expenses and other rights to which the Indemnitee is now or becomes entitled to under this Agreement, the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, the governing documents of each subsidiary of the Company and the NRS, in each case to the extent such waiver and agreement is necessary to give effect to the preceding sentence of this paragraph. Indemnitee agrees and acknowledges that the compensation Indemnitee has or will receive from the Company or any of its subsidiaries constitutes fair and adequate consideration in exchange for the waiver and agreement provided by Indemnitee in this paragraph.
(e)
initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Company’s board of directors authorized the Proceeding (or the relevant part of the Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law, (iii) otherwise authorized in Section 13(d) or (iv) otherwise required by applicable law; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, Indemnitee shall not be deemed for purposes of this paragraph, to have initiated any Proceeding (or any part of a Proceeding) by reason of (i) having asserted any affirmative defenses in connection with a claim not initiated by Indemnitee or (ii) having made any counterclaim (whether permissive or mandatory) in connection with any claim not initiated by Indemnitee; or
(f)
if and then only to the extent prohibited by the NRS or other applicable law.
9.
Advances of Expenses. The Company shall advance the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding prior to its final disposition, and such advancement shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than 30 days, after the receipt by the Company of a written statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time (which shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditure made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be included with the invoice). Advances shall be unsecured and interest free and made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay such advances. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay any advance to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company, except, with respect to advances of expenses made pursuant to Section 13(d), in which case Indemnitee makes the undertaking provided in Section 13(d). This Section 9 shall not apply to the extent advancement is prohibited by law and shall not apply to any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) for which indemnity is not permitted under this Agreement, but shall apply to any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) referenced in Section 8(b) or 8(c) prior to a determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.
10.
Procedures for Notification and Defense of Claim.
(a)
Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing of any matter with respect to which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification or advancement of Expenses as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of notice thereof. The written notification to the Company shall include, in reasonable detail, a description of the nature of the Proceeding and the facts underlying the Proceeding. The failure by Indemnitee to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee hereunder or otherwise than under this Agreement, and any delay in so notifying the Company shall not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any rights, except to the extent that such failure or delay materially prejudices the Company.
(b)
If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a Proceeding pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect that may be applicable to the Proceeding, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of the Proceeding to the insurers

6


 

in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable policies. The Company shall thereafter take all commercially reasonable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.
(c)
In the event the Company may be obligated to make any indemnity in connection with a Proceeding, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee for any fees or expenses of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding. Notwithstanding the Company’s assumption of the defense of any such Proceeding, the Company shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s separate counsel to the extent (i) the employment of separate counsel by Indemnitee is authorized by the Company, (ii) counsel for the Company shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense such that Indemnitee needs to be separately represented, (iii) the Company is not financially or legally able to perform its indemnification obligations, or (iv) the Company shall not have retained, or shall not continue to retain, counsel to defend such Proceeding. Regardless of any provision in this Agreement, Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel in any Proceeding at Indemnitee’s personal expense. The Company shall not be entitled, without the consent of Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Company.
(d)
Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation in connection with the Proceeding as may be reasonably appropriate.
(e)
The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee for any settlement of any Proceeding (or any part thereof) effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company acknowledges that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment may be successful if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption and uncertainty. In the event that any action, claim or proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in a settlement to which the Company has given its prior written consent, such settlement shall be treated as a success on the merits in the settled action, suit or proceeding.
(f)
The Company shall not settle any Proceeding (or any part thereof) in a manner that imposes any Expense, judgment, fine, penalty, liability or limitation on Indemnitee not paid by the Company without Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
11.
Procedures upon Application for Indemnification.
(a)
To obtain indemnification, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and as is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification following the final disposition of the Proceeding. Any delay in providing the request will not relieve the Company from its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent such failure is prejudicial.
(b)
Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 11(a), a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made as follows, provided that a Change in Control shall not have occurred: (i) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Company’s board of directors; (ii) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the

7


 

Company’s board of directors; (iii) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or, if a majority of Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Company’s board of directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; or (iv) if so directed by the Company’s board of directors, by the stockholders of the Company. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, unless Indemnitee requests that the Disinterested Directors make the determination, a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Company’s board of directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee. If it is determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information that is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and that is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Company promptly will advise Indemnitee in writing with respect to any determination that Indemnitee is or is not entitled to indemnification, including a description of any reason or basis for which indemnification has been denied.
(c)
In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 11(b), the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 11(c). If a Change in Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Company’s board of directors, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Company’s board of directors, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within ten days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 1, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after the later of (i) submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 11(a) and (ii) the final disposition of the Proceeding, the parties have not agreed upon an Independent Counsel, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection that shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 11(b). Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 13(a), the Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).
(d)
The Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of any Independent Counsel and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

8


 

(e)
If the Company disputes a portion of the amounts for which indemnification is requested, the undisputed portion shall be paid and only the disputed portion withheld pending resolution of any such dispute.

 

12.
Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.
(a)
In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity making such determination shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 10(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption by clear and convincing evidence..
(b)
Subject to Section 13(e), if the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 11 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee's statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 30-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 12(b) shall not apply (i) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders pursuant to Section 11(b) of this Agreement and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination the Company’s board of directors has resolved to submit such determination to the stockholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within ninety (90) days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of stockholders is called within fifteen (15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within sixty (60) days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat, or (ii) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b) of this Agreement.
(c)
The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
(d)
For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith to the extent Indemnitee relied in good faith on (i) the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, (ii) information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, (iii) the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or its board of directors or counsel selected by any committee of the board of directors or (iv) information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant, an appraiser, investment banker or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Enterprise or its board of directors or any committee of the board of directors. The provisions of this Section 12(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive

9


 

or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.
(e)
Neither the knowledge, actions nor failure to act of any other director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.
13.
Remedies of Indemnitee.
(a)
Subject to Section 13(e), in the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Sections 11(b) of this Agreement within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Sections 4, 5 and 6 of this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 2, 3 or 7 of this Agreement is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, or (vi) the Company or any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or Proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, the Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to the Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of Indemnitee's entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at Indemnitee's option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 13(a). The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee's right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.
(b)
Neither (i) the failure of the Company, its board of directors, any committee or subgroup of the board of directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders to have made a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor (ii) an actual determination by the Company, its board of directors, any committee or subgroup of the board of directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11 that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be, and the burden of proof shall be by clear and convincing evidence.
(c)
To the fullest extent not prohibited by law, the Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 13 that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statements not materially misleading,

10


 

in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.
(d)
It is the intent of the Company that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Indemnitee not be required to incur legal fees or other Expenses associated with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee's rights under this Agreement by litigation or otherwise because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to the Indemnitee hereunder. To the extent not prohibited by law, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action for indemnification or advancement of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement, any other agreement, the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company to the extent Indemnitee is successful in such action, and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than 30 days, after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance such Expenses to Indemnitee, subject to the provisions of Section 9. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such advances to the extent the Indemnitee is ultimately unsuccessful in such action or arbitration.
(e)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.
14.
Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amounts incurred by Indemnitee, whether for Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the events and transactions giving rise to such Proceeding; and (ii) the relative fault of Indemnitee and the Company (and its other directors, officers, employees and agents) in connection with such events and transactions.
15.
Non-exclusivity. The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. To the extent that a change in Nevada law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change, subject to the restrictions expressly set forth herein or therein. Except as expressly set forth herein, no right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Except as expressly set forth herein, the assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.
16.
Primary Responsibility. The Company acknowledges that to the extent Indemnitee is serving as a director on the Company’s board of directors at the request or direction of a private equity or venture capital fund or other entity and/or certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Secondary Indemnitors”), Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by such Secondary Indemnitors. The Company agrees that, as between the Company and the Secondary Indemnitors, the Company is primarily responsible for amounts required to be indemnified or

11


 

advanced under the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or this Agreement and any obligation of the Secondary Indemnitors to provide indemnification or advancement for the same amounts is secondary to those Company obligations. To the extent not in contravention of any insurance policy or policies providing liability or other insurance for the Company or any director, trustee, general partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or any other Enterprise, the Company waives any right of contribution or subrogation against the Secondary Indemnitors with respect to the liabilities for which the Company is primarily responsible under this Section 16. In the event of any payment by the Secondary Indemnitors of amounts otherwise required to be indemnified or advanced by the Company under the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or this Agreement, the Secondary Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement of expenses under the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or this Agreement or, to the extent such subrogation is unavailable and contribution is found to be the applicable remedy, shall have a right of contribution with respect to the amounts paid. The Secondary Indemnitors are express third-party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 16.
17.
No Duplication of Payments. Subject to Section 16, the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (or for which advancement is provided hereunder) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment for such amounts under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.
18.
Insurance. To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, trustees, general partners, managing members, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries of the Company or any other Enterprise, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies to the same extent as the most favorably-insured persons under such policy or policies in a comparable position.
19.
Subrogation. Subject to Section 16, in the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.
20.
Services to the Company. Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director or officer of the Company or, at the request of the Company, as a director, trustee, general partner, managing member or manager, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another Enterprise, for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until Indemnitee tenders his or her resignation or is removed from such position. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law), in which event the Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in such position. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise) and Indemnitee. Indemnitee specifically acknowledges that any employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise) is at will, and Indemnitee may be discharged at any time for any reason, with or without cause, with or without notice, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in any executed, written employment contract between Indemnitee and the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise), any existing formal severance policies adopted by the Company’s board of directors or, with respect to service as a director or officer of the Company, the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or the NRS. No such document shall be subject to any oral modification thereof.
21.
Duration. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of (a) ten years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director or officer of the Company or as a director, trustee, general partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of any other Enterprise, as applicable; or (b) one year after the final termination of any Proceeding, including any appeal,

12


 

then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13 relating thereto.
22.
Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns, including any direct or indirect successor, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Further, the Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
23.
Severability. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law. The Company’s inability, pursuant to court order or other applicable law, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (ii) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (iii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.
24.
Enforcement. The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director or officer of the Company.
25.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws and applicable law and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.
26.
Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment to this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement shall adversely affect any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
27.
Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, sent by facsimile or electronic mail or otherwise delivered by hand, messenger or courier service addressed:

13

28.
Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Except with respect to any arbitration commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13(a), the Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada in Clark County, Nevada (the “Nevada Court”), and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Nevada Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) appoint, to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Nevada, Company’s registered agent in the State of Nevada as its agent in the State of Nevada as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process in connection with any such action or proceeding against such party with the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party personally within the State of Nevada, (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Nevada Court, and (v) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Nevada Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.
29.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature and in counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

30.
