Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 10, 2021, 10x Genomics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Company’s lease agreement (the “Lease”) with 6200 Stoneridge Mall Road Investors LLC (“Landlord”), dated August 2, 2018, as amended on May 20, 2019 and July 24, 2020, pursuant to which the Company leases approximately 150,151 rentable square feet within the building known as 6230 Stoneridge Mall Road, Pleasanton, California 94588 (the “Building”). Among other things, the Third Amendment set forth the cost allocation for certain costs related to air-conditioning the Building. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the Company and Landlord agreed that Landlord would upgrade certain controllers related to the Building’s air-conditioning system and that the costs incurred in connection with such upgrades would be included within Operating Expenses (as such term is defined in the Lease).

A copy of the Third Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and the foregoing description is only a summary of the Third Amendment, and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

a.On June 11, 2021, the Company held its annual meeting of stockholders as a virtual meeting held over the internet via live webcast (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on three proposals, each of which is described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2021. Present at the Annual Meeting via webcast or by proxy were holders representing 96,459,700 shares of the Company's Class A and Class B common stock (the “Common Stock”), representing 289,806,395, or approximately 92.74%, of the 312,488,722 eligible votes, constituting a quorum.

b.The matters described below were voted on at the Annual Meeting and the number of votes cast with respect to each matter was as indicated.

Proposal 1. Holders of the Company’s Common Stock voted to elect the two Class II directors, each to hold office for a three-year term expiring at the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders or until his or her respective successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. The final voting results are as follows:

Director Name	For	Against	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes
Kimberly J. Popovits	265,673,293	13,599,200	32,276	10,501,626
Bryan E. Roberts	264,777,496	14,482,115	45,158	10,501,626

Proposal 2. Holders of the Company’s Common Stock voted to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. There were no broker non-votes on this proposal. The final voting results are as follows:

For	289,750,930
Against	18,971
Abstain	36,494

Proposal 3. Holders of the Company’s Common Stock voted, on a non-binding, advisory basis, for a “one year” frequency of future non-binding, advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. The final voting results are as follows:

One Year	276,867,568
Two Years	81,645
Three Years	2,260,963
Abstain	94,593
Broker Non-Votes	10,501,626

c. A majority of the votes cast by the stockholders voted, on an advisory basis, to hold an annual advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, which was consistent with the recommendation of the Board of Directors included in the Company’s proxy statement. As a result, the Board of Directors of the Company has decided that the Company will include an advisory vote on executive compensation in its proxy materials every year until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of holding future advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, which is expected to occur no later than the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2027.
