To Stockholders of 10x Genomics, Inc.:

Our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“2025 Annual Meeting”) will be held on Tuesday, June 3, 2025 at 1:30 p.m. PDT. The 2025 Annual Meeting will be conducted exclusively online via a live webcast. You will be able to attend the meeting, submit your questions online during the meeting and vote your shares electronically at the meeting by visiting https://web.lumiconnect.com/213535898. Because the meeting is completely virtual and being conducted via the internet, stockholders will not be able to attend the meeting physically in person. The attached notice and proxy statement describe the formal business to be transacted at the meeting.

Whether or not you attend the virtual 2025 Annual Meeting, it is important that your shares be represented and voted at the meeting. Therefore, I urge you to vote promptly and submit your proxy via regular mail, online or by telephone. The 2025 Annual Meeting is being held so that stockholders may consider:

Proposal One: the election of the Class III directors listed in the accompanying proxy statement, each to serve a three-year term expiring at the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders or until such director's successor is duly elected and qualified or until such director's earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal;

Proposal Two: the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025; and

Proposal Three: a vote to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers.

The board of directors recommends that you vote FOR the election of the nominees named in Proposal One of the accompanying proxy statement and FOR each of Proposals Two and Three. Information about the matters to be acted upon at the 2025 Annual Meeting is contained in the accompanying proxy statement.

On behalf of the board of directors and the officers and employees of 10x Genomics, Inc., I would like to take this opportunity to thank our stockholders for their continued support.

Sincerely,

Serge Saxonov

Chief Executive Officer and Director
