Re: Resignation Letter Agreement

Dear Brian:

Pursuant Section 1.2(d) of the Amended and Restated Voting Agreement dated January 21, 2022 (the “Agreement), I hereby tender my resignation from the Board of Managers (the “Board”) of Metagenomi Technologies, LLC (the “Company”), effective immediately. Accordingly, PFM agrees to waive its right to designate a PFM Designee in anticipation of the Removal Transaction expected to occur in approximately one (1) month (capitalized terms defined in the Agreement).

My decision to resign from the Board is not the result of any disagreement with the Company’s operations, business, policies, practices and/or other affairs.

By acceptance of this letter agreement, the Company confirms that all material non-public information regarding the Company will be disclosed in the Registration Statement, including the related preliminary prospectus or prospectuses included in the Registration Statement.

I greatly appreciate the opportunity to have served on the Board and wish you and the Company success in the future.

 

Very truly yours,
Santhosh Palani, Ph.D
