Miramar stockholders should consult their tax advisors as to their qualifications for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining such an exemption.

In addition, any Form 1099-B a U.S. Holder receives with respect to Milestone Payments may reflect the entire amount of the Milestone Payments paid to the IRSU.S. Holder (except imputed interest) and therefore may not take into account the fact that the U.S. Holder already included the value of the Milestone Payments in such U.S. Holder’s amount realized in the year of the Merger. As a result, U.S. Holders reporting under this method should not rely on the amounts reported to them on Forms 1099-B with respect to the Merger.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Generally, Recursion must report annually to the IRS the amount of dividends paid to holders of Recursion Shares and certain information about each such holder (including each such holder’s name and address, and the amount of tax withheld, if any). A similar report will be sent to each holder. Pursuant to applicable income tax treaties or other agreements, the IRS may make these reports available to tax authorities in a holder’s country of residence. Payments of dividends on or of proceeds from the disposition of Exscientia ADSs, Exscientia Shares or Recursion Shares made to stockholders in the Offer or the Merger a holder may be reported subject to the IRS. In addition, under the U.S. federal income tax laws, information reporting and backup withholding at the statutory rate unless a holder establishes an exemption, for example, by properly certifying its exempt status (currently 24%) may apply to the amount paid to certain stockholders (who are not “exempt” recipients) pursuant to the Offer or the Merger. To prevent such backup withholding, each stockholder who if it is a U.S. Holder and who does not otherwise establish an exemption from backup withholding must notify the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent of the stockholder’s taxpayer identification number (generally an employer identification number or social security numberholder) and provide certain other information by completing, under penalty of perjury, an IRS Form W-9, on a copy of which is included in the Letter of Transmittal. Failure to timely provide the correct taxpayer identification number on the properly completed IRS Form W-9 may subject the stockholder to a penalty imposed by the IRS. Certain “exempt” recipients (including, among others, generally all corporations and certain or its non-U.S. Holders) are not subject to these backup withholding requirements (though U.S. corporations may be required to submit an IRS Form W-9 to establish such exemption). For status on a non-U.S. Holder to qualify for such an exemption from backup withholding, such Non-U.S. Holder must submit a statement (generally, an properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or other applicable another appropriate version of IRS Form W-8). Notwithstanding the foregoing, signed under penalty of perjurybackup withholding and information reporting may apply if the applicable withholding agent has actual knowledge, attesting or reason to such Non-know, that holder has provided an incorrect certification (e.g., if it knows that a holder falsely certified that it is not a U.S. Holder’s exempt status.

Taxpayers may use amounts withheld as a credit against their ; rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability or may claim of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may generally be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the information reporting and backup withholding requirements, as well as any other applicable tax reporting obligations (including the rules TABLE OF CONTENTS applicable to the reporting of specified foreign financial assets and the reporting of “loss transactions” in which a U.S. holder recognizes a tax loss in excess of certain thresholds), in connection with their receipt of proceeds pursuant to the Transaction and their ongoing ownership of Recursion Shares. Certain provisions of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act of 2010, commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, Treasury Regulations issued thereunder and official IRS guidance, or, collectively, FATCA, generally impose a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends on, and, subject to the discussion of certain proposed Treasury Regulations below, the gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of Recursion Shares, paid to a “foreign financial institution” (as specially defined under these rules), unless such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to, among other things, withhold on certain payments and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding the U.S. account holders of such amounts if they timely provide institution (which includes certain required information equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners) or otherwise establishes an exemption. FATCA also generally imposes a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends on and, subject to the IRSdiscussion of certain proposed Treasury Regulations below, the gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of Recursion Shares paid to a “non-financial foreign entity” (as specially defined under these rules) unless such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification identifying the substantial direct and indirect U.S. owners of the entity, certifies that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners, or otherwise establishes an exemption. Holders are urged to The withholding tax will apply regardless of whether the payment otherwise would be exempt from U.S. nonresident and backup withholding tax, including under the other exemptions described above. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify the requirements described in this section. Non-U.S. holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the application of backup FATCA withholding to their particular investment in, and ownership and disposition of, Recursion Shares. The Treasury Secretary has issued proposed Treasury Regulations, which, if finalized in their present form, would eliminate withholding under FATCA with respect to payment of gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of Recursion Shares. In its preamble to such proposed Treasury Regulations, the U.S. Treasury stated that taxpayers may generally rely on the proposed Treasury Regulations until final regulations are issued. TABLE OF CONTENTS The comments set out below summarize certain limited aspects of the UK tax treatment of certain Exscientia shareholders under the Transaction and in respect of the Recursion Shares received pursuant to the Transaction and do not purport to be a complete analysis of all tax considerations relating to the Transaction or the holding of Recursion Shares. They are based on current UK legislation and current published HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) practice (which may not be binding on HMRC), in each case as at the latest practicable date before the publication of this joint proxy statement, both of which are subject to change, possibly with retrospective effect. The comments are intended as a general guide and do not deal with certain types of Exscientia shareholder such as charities, trustees, dealers in securities, persons who have or could be treated for tax purposes as having acquired their interests in Exscientia or Recursion by reason of an office or their employment or as carried interest, collective investment schemes, persons subject to UK tax on the remittance basis or insurance companies. References below to “UK Holders” are to Exscientia shareholders who are resident (and, in the case of individuals, domiciled) for tax purposes in, and only in, the United Kingdom (and to whom split-year treatment does not apply), who hold their interests in Exscientia and Recursion as an investment (other than under a self-invested personal pension plan or individual savings account) and who are the absolute beneficial owners of such interests in Exscientia and Recursion. References below to “Exscientia Shares” are to Exscientia Shares and/or Exscientia ADSs, where appropriate. The following assumes that the holder of an Exscientia ADS is the beneficial owner of the underlying Exscientia Share for U.K. tax purposes. Liability to UK taxation of chargeable gains in respect of the transfer of their Exscientia Shares will depend on the individual circumstances of UK Holders as described in more detail below. Except as otherwise provided below, a UK Holder receiving Recursion Shares in exchange for Exscientia Shares under the Scheme should not be treated as having made a disposal of Exscientia Shares. Instead any gain or loss which would otherwise have arisen on the disposal of the relevant interests in Exscientia Shares will be “rolled-over” into the Recursion Shares received so that the Recursion Shares will be treated as the same asset, acquired at the same time and for the same acquisition cost as such interests in Exscientia Shares. In relation to UK Holders who, alone or together with persons connected with them, hold interests in more than 5% of, or of any class of, shares in or debentures of Exscientia, “roll-over” treatment is subject to the exchange of interests in Exscientia Shares for Recursion Shares being effected for bona fide commercial reasons and not forming part of a scheme or arrangements of which the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, is avoidance of liability to UK capital gains tax or UK corporation tax. An application for clearance will not be made to HMRC under section 138 of the UK Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 in this regard. An individual UK Xxxxxx who has ceased to be resident in the United Kingdom for tax purposes for a period of 5 complete tax years or less and who realizes a gain in respect of their Exscientia Shares during that period may also be liable on returning to the United Kingdom to tax on any capital gain realized. This TABLE OF CONTENTS also applies to individuals who have not ceased to be resident in the United Kingdom but who have become non-UK resident pursuant to the application of a double taxation treaty. The proceeds from the sale of fractional entitlements to Recursion Shares that would otherwise have been required to be delivered to a UK Holder pursuant to the Scheme in respect of a holding of Exscientia Shares, and the receipt of cash by a UK Holder in respect of a holding of Exscientia ADSs payable under the terms of the Scheme in substitution for such proceeds, will be treated as arising from a part-disposal of Exscientia Shares, in which case such UK Holder may, depending on the particular circumstances, incur a liability to UK capital gains tax or UK corporation tax. However, in the case of the cash proceeds from the sale of fractional entitlements paid in respect of a holding of Exscientia Shares where the amount of such cash received is “small”, the receipt of the cash will not trigger a disposal at that time unless the UK Holder elects otherwise. A disposal will then be triggered only when the Recursion Shares are disposed of and the amount of the cash received will be deducted from the UK Holder’s chargeable gains acquisition cost in the Recursion Shares. The current practice of HMRC is to regard a sum as “small” for these purposes if either (i) it is 5% or less of the value of the particular UK Holder’s Exscientia Shares; or (ii) it is £3,000 or less, regardless of whether it satisfies the 5% test. The advisability of using this alternative treatment will depend upon a UK Holder’s individual circumstances, in particular the availability ofto a UK Holder of any exemptions and reliefs from tax on chargeable gains or allowable losses in the tax year in which the cash is received. This treatment, in relation to cash proceeds of a sale of fractional entitlements where the amount is “small”, is not expected to be available in relation to cash received by a UK Holder in respect of a holding of Exscientia ADSs in substitution for such proceeds. The following statement about UK stamp duty and procedure for obtainingSDRT applies regardless of whether a UK Holder is resident, an exemption from backup withholdingdomiciled or deemed domiciled in the United Kingdom. No UK stamp duty or SDRT will be payable by the Exscientia shareholders on the transfer of Exscientia Shares under the Scheme.
