As described in Note 6, “Collaborations,” in July 2018, the Company and GSK entered into the original GSK Agreement, and there were transactions with GSK during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. At the time the original GSK Agreement was entered into, GSK also purchased shares of Series F-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock of 23andMe, Inc. These shares were converted into a like number of shares of 23andMe, Inc. Class B common stock immediately prior to the Merger and were exchanged pursuant to the share conversion ratio provided for in the Merger agreement, which the Company entered into with VGAC on February 4, 2021 and amended on February 13, 2021 and March 25, 2021, into shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. GSK had a 21.7% and 19.9% voting interest in the Company as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Anne Wojcicki Foundation, which subscribed for 125,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in the PIPE investment in connection with the Merger, is affiliated with the Company’s co-founder, former chief executive officer, and current member of the Board of Directors, Anne Wojcicki, and therefore a related party.
In January 2024, the Company entered into a research services agreement (the “TWF Agreement”) and related statement of work (the “initial SOW”) with the Troper Wojcicki Foundation (“TWF”) with the goal of expanding scientific knowledge in the field of lung cancer using the Company’s phenotype and genotype data to build large scale research cohorts. At the time, Susan Wojcicki was a director and officer of TWF, and a sibling of the Company’s former CEO and current member of the Board of Directors, Anne Wojcicki, and therefore the Company determined that TWF is a related party. The TWF Agreement has a term of five years through December 21, 2028. The fees under the initial SOW are $5.4 million, payable in installments over the term of the TWF Agreement, with certain payments being subject to the achievement of specified milestones. The Company recognized revenue from the TWF Agreement of $0.7 million and $0.3 million during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had deferred revenue of $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, associated with the TWF Agreement.
