Leveraging the Power of Proteins to Deliver Precision Health
Safe Harbor Statement Some of the statements in this presentation constitute forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “seek,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “pro forma,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” or the negative of these terms orother comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Examples of these statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the following: our projected future spending plans and operating results, our tests’ potential clinical utility and advantages over competitive offerings, market opportunities for current and planned tests, market adoption of current and planned tests, development of enhanced and new tests, potential additional applications for data generated by our tests, our go-to-market strategy, potential reimbursement or payor coverage for our tests, cost reduction efforts, sales productivity, intellectual property protection, potential out-licensing or spin-out transactions, upside opportunities, our future capital needs and the timing and availability of additional financing. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. These statements involve substantial known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and our projections of the future, about which we cannot be certain.

Why Proteins?

Receptors bind
DNAUnique hereditary
material that encodes biological
molecules
mRNA Molecule that
carries the “directions” for
protein synthesis
Proteins Functional and
structural molecules for all biological
processes
Unlike Genes — Proteins are Contextual
While the genome stays the same, each human proteome is dynamic — protein levels within the
body are constantly changing
▶ Proteins are the best source of available biological information for health, wellness anddisease management
▶ Proteins mediate the effects of all known drugs

Solving the Commercial Protein Puzzle
▶ Proven ability to measure ~5,000 (~7,000 in next 12-18 months) proteins from a single sample input
▶ Capability to run assays simultaneously, at high-throughput — faster, less costly
▶ Established CLIA/CAP-certified lab infrastructure
▶ Small biological sample volume required

Access to World-Leading Biobanks Supports High-
Quality Database
▶ SomaSignal tests are created using machine learning and advanced pattern recognition modeling
▶ In each model, an individual’s risk is determined by the pattern of expression of between 16 and 300 proteins
How To Transform Healthcare with a Proteomics Dx Platform
Ø SomaSignal tests have a transformational ability to identify individuals thought to be at “no risk” for a condition who actually are — and those “optimally treated” for conditions, with residual significant risk
Ø This information is currently not available to clinicians

Proteomic Testing vs. Genetic Testing
12
Genomic tests: “one and done.” Re-doing genetic tests over time usually will not give any indication of changing condition or disease risk.
Proteomic tests: can be repeated over time - to understand if a biologic condition or disease risk is changing.
X (one)
X (many)
The “cost” incurred by SomaLogic for delivering more than one test at a time is simply running a different algorithm

The Democratization of Health Information
for Individuals

Becoming the leading-edge provider of individual health, wellness and disease information to power and capture the increasing trend and demand for democratization of healthcare information and technology

Proof Of Benefit For Clinical Market Acceptance
▶ SomaSignal tests benefits not requiring intensive study• Identification of patients at risk with no known risk factors for
disease who are actually at risk• Identification of patients under “optimal treatment” who are still
at significant risk despite treatment• Identification of patients who are candidates, or not, for certain
therapeutics
▶ Proof of Benefit Studies• Negotiating with health systems currently to demonstrate
health economics benefits, or physician/patient activation• A number of tests on the SomaSignal test menu that will allow
us to do these studies over a period of months, rather than years (e.g., CHF hospitalization risk, likelihood of a positive workup for ambulatory chest pain, etc.)
20
▶ > 250 peer-reviewed manuscripts
▶ 2019 Nature Medicine Paper - plasma samples on ~17K patients to assess 11 health and disease states, provides “scientific underpinnings” for SomaSignal tests
▶ Trials to prove that SomaSignal tests “work” will likely not be necessary on a large scale
Well-Formulated Regulatory Approach▶ SomaScan Assay
• Will pursue FDA clearance as De Novo Platform / Assay Tool (e.g., Illumina MiSeq)
• Will only need to file updates as content increases or assay platform substantially changes• Will maintain CAP / CLIA certification for RUO and LDT where applicable
▶ SomaSignal Tests• Will seek “modular” approach (similar to Apple and others)• Will file de novo clearance for 1-3 SomaSignal tests as 510k Software as a Medical Device (SaMD)• Subsequent filings will use SaMD Special Controls, rather than entire re-approval process
▶ Regulatory Strategy• Short-term goal is clinical acceptance in Risk-Bearing SomaSignal market and DTC SomaSignal clearance à
direct reimbursement facilitation• Not seeking near-term third-party payment for most SomaSignal tests, as pipeline has >100 tests
• Will encourage bundled purchase of tests from Risk-Bearing SomaSignal market in capex fashion• Will likely seek payment for some tests involved in “complex” guidelines (e.g., cancer biologic therapy response
prediction) later

Initial FDA filing on SomaScan Assay (platform) + ~1-3 initial tests anticipated in 1H:2021

Proprietary, Expanding High-Quality Proteomics Database
▶ Rigorously curated: enables advanced understanding of the proteome and SomaSignal tests development (including regulatory filing preparation)
▶ Powerful asset and substantial source of value over time, as broader dataset is implemented on incremental biopharma partnerships and FDA filing (in 1H:2021)
▶ Multiple monetization opportunities – curated access to discovery market customers, development of recommendation engines, development of clinical decision support products, among others
~300k samples run on the assay to-date and anticipated to have ~2M cumulative samples by 2024
