`
`Good morning Mimmi
`
`thank you for making the arrangements for me to speak with Charles
`
`a most constructive conversation indeed !
`
`Charles has suggest the week of June 6th for a possible visit by us to your facility in California
`
`Dr. Dhallan has indicated a meeting on the 7th or 8th (preferably morning), with the day prior as a travel
`day to get there from the east coast
`
`We could also do the 9th if need be, but earlier in the week would be better for him.
`
`The Patents Summary I sent earlier, will constitute an introduction to the RayGen IP we wish to discuss
`
`At your convenience please let me know if any of these days still work for Charles and others he wishes
`to invite.
`
`thank you again for all your help
`
`best regards
`Frank
`
`ps: Charles asked if I knew the names of the Patent Law Firms that were involved in Ravgen Patent
`applications. They were Morris & Forester, Stern Kessler, and Morgan Lewis. Each chosen for their
`unique specialties and geographic location. I think they will establish that the work was done thoroughly
`and comprehensively.

`
`Dear Mr. Moehle and Mr. Jeff Eidel
`
`I am the financial adviser or Ravgen, Inc and I sent the
`email below to Dr Naclerio a few minutes ago
`
`I received an automatic reply that you were
`now responsible for M&A and Licensing / Partnerships
`
`I was referred to Nick by Burnhard Sakmann at Evercore
`
`RavGen's has a very unique IP portfolio that could provide
`significant leverage to Illumine -- and we wish to discuss
`the opportunity to acquire it or exclusively license it.
`
`please let me know if we can talk -- I am available at your
`convenience
`
`best regards

`Good morning Dr Naclerio
`
`I was given your contact information by a mutual colleague, Dr. Burnhard Sakmann at Evercore Partners
`
`My name is Frank J. Garofalo, and I am the financial adviser to Ravgen Inc., and to its CEO and founder
`Dr. Ravinder Dhallan.
`
`My approach to you is in the context of your position as SVP and Head of Corporate Development --
`except that I see that you were just recently make head of Illumina's private Venture Capital group as
`well. Congratulations.
`

`
`That may give us two reasons to have a telephone conversation.
`
`Ravgen is the holder of several key patents that were fundamental to the creation of the Non-Invasive
`Pre-Natal Testing marketplace. (see attached)
`
`He is a brilliant scientist who is the recognized innovator of enabling technology that makes the NIPTs
`market possible.
`
`Further evidenced by his break-thru publications in JAMA, The Lancet, and the New England Journal of
`Medicine.
`
`Dr. Dhallan, in order to fund on going research has decided now is a good time to monetize his patents.
`
`The patents, to date, have never before been licensed, to any party, and therefore should hold significant
`value to Illumine as the dominate player in the market -- and specifically with respect to strengthening its
`on going IP battle with Hoffman La Roche and others in the market.
`
`If you decide its of interest to meet with us, I would be suggesting that, Charles Dadswell, your in-house
`General Counsel, join us in that session to fully appreciate the opportunity we may be offering.
`
`Trying to keep this email short and succinct:
`
`1) In addition to your new assignment, will you still head the Corporate Development activities for
`the company, and if not, to whom should I be addressing this opportunity?
`
`and
`
`2) now that you are charged with looking at investments consistent with IIlumina's focus and vision I can
`assure you that the company that acquires or licenses the IP Portfolio from Ravgen will be in a unique
`position to nurture a relationship with one of the true innovators in this field which could lead to an even
`more significant product offering in just a few years.
`
`please let me know if we can speak by phone -- Dr Dhallan and I are prepared to travel to meet with you.
`
`sincerely,
`Frank J. Garofalo
