Investment in 23andMe In December 2012, Google Ventures invested approximately $1.5 million in the Series D preferred stock financing of 23andMe, Inc., a privately-held personal genetics company dedicated to helping individuals understand their genetic information through DNA analysis technologies and web-based interactive tools. Google Ventures made its investment in the Series D preferred stock financing of 23andMe pursuant to existing rights to purchase a pro rata share of new securities issued by 23andMe. Google Inc. is the sole limited partner of Google Ventures. Google, directly or through Google Ventures, previously invested approximately $3.9 million in the Series A preferred stock financing of 23andMe in May 2007, approximately $2.6 million in the Series B preferred stock financing of 23andMe in June 2009, and approximately $3.2 million in the Series C preferred stock financing of 23andMe in November 2010. In November 2007, Google purchased additional shares of Series A preferred stock of 23andMe from another stockholder for approximately $500,000. In June 2009, Google also entered into a lease agreement with 23andMe. An independent real estate appraiser reviewed the terms and conditions of the lease with 23andMe. 23andMe’s Series D preferred stock financing involved a number of additional investors, including a new investor. Anne Wojcicki, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of 23andMe, and a stockholder and member of its board of directors, is married to Sergey Brin, Google’s Co-Founder and a member of Google’s board of directors. As of September 30, 2012, Sergey beneficially owned approximately 7.7% of Google’s outstanding capital stock, which represented approximately 27.8% of the voting power of Google’s outstanding capital stock. Sergey is also an investor in 23andMe and invested approximately $20.0 million in 23andMe’s Series D preferred stock financing. Google’s Audit Committee reviewed and approved Google Ventures’ investment in the Series D preferred stock financing of 23andMe as part of Google’s procedures for entering into transactions with related parties.
