This Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to Schedule 13D relates to the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of GeneDx Holdings Corp. (formerly known as Sema4 Holdings Corp., which was formerly known as CM Life Sciences, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and amends and supplements the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed on August 30, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on January 20, 2022, and Amendment No. 2 filed on May 3, 2022 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Explanatory Note: This Amendment No. 3 is filed due to the reduction in the percent of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons because of an increase in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding resulting from registered offerings of such shares by the Issuer, which closed on January 31, 2023 (the “Issuer Offerings”).

Item 1. Security and Issuer

Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

Effective as of January 9, 2023, the Issuer changed its name from “Sema4 Holdings Corp.” to “GeneDx Holdings Corp.”

Item 2. Identity and Background

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by incorporating herein by reference the information set forth on the updated Schedule I attached to this Amendment No. 3.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Items 5(a)-(c) and (e) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) and (b) Calculations of the percentage of the shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned assumes that there were 793,214,935 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of January 31, 2023 (based on 386,795,130 shares outstanding as of November 4, 2022 as disclosed in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed on November 14, 2022, plus 406,419,805 shares issued in the Issuer Offerings as disclosed by the Issuer in its press release dated January 31, 2023), and takes into account shares of Class A Common Stock underlying warrants beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, as applicable.

The aggregate number and percentage of the Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person and, for each Reporting Person, the number of shares as to which there is sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition are set forth on rows 7 through 11 and row 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D, as of February 2, 2023, and are incorporated herein by reference.

None of the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying Earnout Rights are included in the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons because none of the related thresholds have been satisfied.

As of February 2, 2023,

(i) BTO Sema4 Holdings L.P. directly holds 26,839,187 shares of Class A Common Stock and Earnout Rights with respect to up to 3,203,218 shares of Class A Common Stock;

Any beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock by any of the persons listed on Schedule I is set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.
