- Communitivity 6y agoI wonder what this will mean for 23andMe customers in terms of accessing their data and data updates.
- helen___keller 6y agoProbably nothing immediately: > Current shareholders of 23andMe will own 81% of the combined company However, as a public company, whatever data policies are in place would be subject to change to the ever-shifting shareholders, so in the long-run who knows.
- fragmede 6y agoImportantly, while 23andme won’t sell customer data, it’s not considered selling if they’re sharing it with other parts of the same conglomerate they’re now part of.
- Wronnay 6y agoVGAC shareholders will only get 11 Percent of the combined company: https://vgacquisition.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/23andMe-Investor-Presentation.pdf https://vgacquisition.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/23andMe... - so the current VGAC market cap with 876.30 Mn is way higher than the $3.5 billion valuation.
