Properties, in its own words

Recursion’s corporate headquarters are located at 41 S Rio Grande Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101 where we lease 99,172 square feet of office, dry and wet laboratory space. The laboratories include both traditional and automated laboratories for drug research. The current term of our lease expires in May, 2028. We have entered into a lease for an additional 103,634 square feet of office, research and laboratory space adjacent to our corporate headquarters under a lease that expires in May, 2032.

Recursion’s New York City office is located at 66 Hudson Boulevard E, New York, NY 10001, where we lease 11,655 square feet of office with a term that expires December, 2028.

The rest of Item 2

Recursion’s United Kingdom operations are headquartered at 3 Pancras Sq, London N1C 4AG, UK where we lease 6,792 square feet of office space through January, 2029. In addition to our London office, we also have laboratory space in Milton Park, Oxfordshire, for our automation chemistry laboratory with approximately 20,151 square feet. The Milton Park lease expires in July, 2031.

In addition to US and UK presence, Recursion also has one lease in Montreal, Canada related to Valence Labs. Valence Labs leases an 8,367 square foot office and dry laboratory space located at 6666 Rue Saint-Urbain, Montreal CA H2S3H1 that expires in March, 2029.

We believe these facilities are adequate and suitable for our current needs and that, should it be needed, suitable additional or alternative space will be available to accommodate our operations.

Post business combination with Exscientia in November, 2024, Recursion has focused on strategically consolidating its workplace environments and leasehold interests, with an aim at optimizing our aforementioned core physical sites and recovering leasehold obligations at non-core sites.

In 2025, Recursion executed an assignment for the 36,362 square foot legacy Exscientia lab and office headquarters located in Oxford, Oxfordshire. Recursion also surrendered a 54,992 square foot laboratory and office space in Vienna, Austria as part of a larger strategic spinout with a previously acquired legacy Exscientia company. In the US, Recursion executed a sublease for a 9,662 square foot legacy Exscientia office in Boston, MA through January, 2030.

In 2026, Recursion will continue to focus efforts on consolidation for facilities we believe do not strategically further our operations or business needs. This includes facilities in the US, Canada and UK.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Recursion Pharmaceuticals names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 25, 2026: 74 risks under these headings, as written.7

  • RISKS RELATED TO OUR LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY, FINANCIAL POSITION, AND NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
  • We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company with a limited operating history and no products approved by regulators for commercial sale, which may make it difficult to evaluate our current and future business prospects.
  • We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception and anticipate that we will incur continued losses for the foreseeable future.
  • We will need to raise substantial additional funding. If we are unable to raise capital when needed, we would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate at least some of our product development programs, business development plans, strategic investments, and potential commercialization efforts, and to possibly cease operations.
  • Raising additional capital and issuing additional securities may cause dilution to our stockholders, restrict our operations, require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or drug candidates, and divert management’s attention from our core business.
  • We may be required to repurchase for cash all, or to facilitate the purchase by a third party of all, of the shares of Class A common stock that were issued to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, or the Gates Foundation, in exchange for the Exscientia American Depositary Shares (ADSs) that the Gates Foundation purchased from Exscientia in an October 2021 private placement if we default under the global access commitments agreement with Exscientia, which could have an adverse impact on us.
  • We are engaged in strategic collaborations and we intend to seek to establish additional collaborations, including for the clinical development or commercialization of our drug candidates. If we are unable to establish collaborations on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or if current and future collaborations are not successful, we may have to alter our development and commercialization plans.
  • We have no products approved for commercial sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales. We or our current and future collaborators may never successfully develop and commercialize our drug candidates, which would negatively affect our results of operation and our ability to continue our business operations.
  • Our quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors and could fall below our expectations or the expectations of investors or securities analysts, which may cause our stock price to fluctuate or decline.
  • If we engage in future acquisitions or strategic partnerships, this may increase our capital requirements, dilute our stockholders’ equity, cause us to incur debt or assume contingent liabilities, and subject us to other risks.
  • Costs of materials necessary for our business increasing more rapidly could increase our net losses.
  • RISKS RELATED TO THE DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT OF DRUG CANDIDATES
The other 63 risks
  • Our approach to drug discovery is unique and may not lead to successful drug products for various reasons, including, but not limited to, challenges identifying mechanisms of action for our candidates.
  • Our drug candidates are in preclinical or clinical development, which are lengthy and expensive processes with uncertain outcomes and the potential for substantial delays.
  • If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.
  • Our planned clinical trials, or those of our current and potential future collaborators, may not be successful or may reveal significant adverse events not seen in our preclinical or nonclinical studies, which may result in a safety profile that could inhibit regulatory approval or market acceptance of any of our drug candidates.
  • We may develop drug candidates for use in combination with other therapies, which exposes us to additional risks.
  • We conduct clinical trials for our drug candidates outside the United States, and the FDA and similar foreign regulatory authorities may not accept data from such trials.
  • It is difficult to establish with precision the incidence and prevalence for target patient populations of our drug candidates. If the market opportunities for our drug candidates are smaller than we estimate, or if any
  • approval that we obtain is based on a narrower definition of the patient population, our revenue and ability to achieve profitability will be adversely affected, possibly materially.
  • Although we intend to explore other therapeutic opportunities in addition to the drug candidates that we are currently developing, we may fail to identify viable new drug candidates for clinical development for a number of reasons.
  • If we are unable to obtain, or if there are delays in obtaining, required regulatory approvals for our drug candidates in the U.S. or other jurisdictions, or if approval is subject to limitations, we will be unable to commercialize, or will be delayed or limited in commercializing, the drug candidates in such jurisdiction and our ability to generate revenue may be materially impaired.
  • Our product candidates may cause significant adverse events, toxicities or other undesirable side effects when used alone or in combination with other approved products or investigational new drugs that may
  • result in a safety profile that could prevent regulatory approval, prevent market acceptance, limit their commercial potential or result in significant negative consequences.
  • Interim, topline and preliminary data from our clinical trials that we announce or publish from time to time may change as more patient data become available and are subject to audit and verification procedures that could result in material changes in the final data.
  • If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment and/or maintenance of patients in clinical trials, our regulatory submissions or receipt of necessary marketing approvals could be delayed or prevented.
  • We may never realize a return on our investment of resources and cash in our drug discovery collaborations.
  • We may never realize a return on our equity investments in our drug discovery collaborators.
  • We face substantial competition, which may result in others discovering, developing, or commercializing products before, or more successfully than, we do.
  • Because we have multiple programs and drug candidates in our development pipeline and are pursuing a variety of target indications and treatment modalities, we may expend our limited resources to pursue a particular drug candidate and fail to capitalize on development opportunities or drug candidates that may be more profitable or for which there is a greater likelihood of success.
  • We and our collaborators may not achieve projected discovery and development milestones and other anticipated key events in the time frames that we or they announce, which could have an adverse impact on our business and could cause our stock price to decline.
  • RISKS RELATED TO OUR PLATFORM AND DATA
  • We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, in research and development efforts to further enhance our drug discovery platform, which is central to our mission. If the return on these investments is lower or develops more slowly than we expect, our business and operating results may suffer.
  • Our information technology systems and infrastructure may fail or experience security breaches and incidents that could adversely impact our business and operations and subject us to liability.
  • Interruptions in the availability of server systems or communications with internet or cloud-based services, or failure to maintain the security, confidentiality, accessibility, or integrity of data stored on such systems, could harm our business.
  • Our solutions utilize third-party open source software (OSS), which presents risks that could adversely affect our business and subject us to possible litigation.
  • Issues relating to the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in our offerings could adversely affect our business and operating results.
  • RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS/COMMERCIALIZATION
  • Even if any drug candidates we develop receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, healthcare payors, and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success.
  • If we are unable to establish sales and marketing capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to sell and market any drug candidates we may develop, we may not be successful in commercializing those drug candidates, if and when they are approved.
  • We are subject to regulatory and operational risks associated with the physical and digital infrastructure at both our internal facilities and those of our external service providers.
  • In the future, we may manufacture drug substances or products at our facilities for preclinical and clinical use, and we may face risks arising from our limited prior manufacturing capability and experience.
  • The manufacture of drugs is complex, and our third-party manufacturers may encounter difficulties in production or supply chain. If any of our third-party manufacturers encounter such difficulties, our ability to
  • provide adequate supply of our product candidates for clinical trials or our products for patients, if approved, could be delayed or prevented.
  • Changes in methods of product candidate manufacturing or formulation may result in additional costs or delay.
  • Recursion, or the third parties upon whom we depend, may be adversely affected by natural disasters, and our business continuity plans and insurance coverage may not be adequate.
  • If we fail to comply with environmental, health and safety, or other laws and regulations, we could become subject to fines, penalties, or personal injury or property damages.
  • Our insurance policies are expensive and protect us only from some business risks, which leaves us exposed to significant uninsured liabilities.
  • Our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.
  • Changes in tax laws or regulations that are applied adversely to us or disagreements between us and tax authorities regarding the application of existing tax laws or regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, financial condition or results of operations.
  • If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies prove to be incorrect, or financial reporting standards or interpretations change, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
  • Product liability lawsuits could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and could limit commercialization of any drug candidates that we may develop.
  • RISKS RELATED TO OUR RELIANCE ON THIRD PARTIES
  • Third parties that perform some of our research and preclinical testing or conduct our clinical trials may not perform satisfactorily or their agreements may be terminated.
  • Third parties that manufacture our drug candidates for preclinical development, clinical testing, and future commercialization may not provide sufficient quantities of our drug candidates or products at an acceptable cost, which could delay, impair, or prevent our development or commercialization efforts.
  • If we are unable to adequately source clinical and commercial supplies, equipment, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) from third party vendors as our drug development pipeline matures, our business could be significantly harmed.
  • RISKS RELATED TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
  • Our success significantly depends on our ability to obtain and maintain patents of adequate scope covering our proprietary technology and drug candidate products. Obtaining and maintaining patent assets is inherently challenging, and our pending and future patent applications may not issue with the scope we need, if at all.
  • Our current proprietary position for certain drug product candidates depends upon our owned or in-licensed patent filings covering components of such drug product candidates, manufacturing-related methods, formulations, and/or methods of use, which may not adequately prevent a competitor or other third party from using the same drug candidate for the same or a different use.
  • We may not be able to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights throughout the world.
  • If we do not obtain patent term extension and data exclusivity for any drug product candidates we may develop, our business may be materially harmed.
  • We may need to license certain intellectual property from third parties, and such licenses may not be available or may not be available on commercially reasonable terms.
  • Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.
  • Issued patents covering our drug product candidates and proprietary technology that we have developed or may develop in the future could be found invalid or unenforceable if challenged in court or before administrative bodies in the United States or abroad.
  • We may be subject to claims challenging the inventorship of our owned or in-licensed patent rights and other intellectual property.
  • Intellectual property rights do not necessarily address all potential threats.
  • If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets and know-how, our business and competitive position may be harmed.
  • We may not identify relevant third-party patents or may incorrectly interpret the relevance, scope or expiration of a third-party patent, which might adversely affect our ability to develop and market our drug product candidates.
  • We may be subject to claims that we or our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of third parties or are in breach of their non-competition or non-solicitation agreements with third parties.
  • Litigation to defend against third party claims of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or other violations against us or our collaborators, or to enforce our intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of our collaborators, presents numerous risks.
  • If we fail to comply with our obligations in the agreements under which we collaborate with or license intellectual property rights from third parties, if the licenses are terminated, if a dispute regarding these licenses arises, or we otherwise experience disruptions to our business relationships with our collaborators or licensors, we could lose rights that are important to our business.
  • Some of our intellectual property has been, and in the future may be, discovered through government-funded programs and thus may be subject to federal regulations such as “march-in” rights, certain reporting requirements, and a preference for U.S.-based companies, and compliance with such regulations may limit our exclusive rights and our ability to contract with non-U.S. manufacturers.
  • If our trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, then we may not be able to build name recognition in our markets of interest and our business may be adversely affected.
  • RISKS RELATED TO ACQUISITIONS
  • The anticipated benefits of the business combination with Exscientia may vary from expectations.
  • The future results of Recursion will suffer if Recursion does not effectively manage its expanded operations resulting from the business combination with Exscientia.
  • Business issues currently faced by Recursion or Exscientia may be imputed to the operations of the other.
  • Recursion is exposed to greater foreign currency exchange risk.
  • As a company with substantial operations outside of the United States, we are subject to economic, political, regulatory and other risks associated with international operations.
  • We have in the past and may in the future acquire other companies or technologies, which could divert our management’s attention, result in additional dilution to our shareholders and otherwise disrupt our operations and adversely affect our operating results.
