Re: Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-262706)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Social Capital Suvretta Holdings Corp. I, a Cayman Islands company limited by shares (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement (as defined below) relating to, among other things, (i) the merger of Karibu Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), with and into Akili Interactive Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Akili”), with Akili surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 26, 2022, by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Akili (the “Merger Agreement”), and (ii) as a condition to the effectiveness of the Merger, the proposal of the Company to change its jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and domesticating as a Delaware corporation pursuant to Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL” and such domestication, the “Domestication”), subject to the approval thereof by the shareholders of the Company.

Prior to and as a condition of the Merger, in connection with the Domestication, the Company will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by effecting a deregistration under the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) and a domestication under Section 388 of the DGCL and, in connection therewith, the Company will file the Certificate of Domestication (as defined below) simultaneously with the Certificate of Incorporation (as defined below), in each case, in respect of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “DE Secretary of State”). In this opinion, we refer to the Company following effectiveness of the Domestication and/or the Merger, as applicable, as “Akili, Inc.” Upon the Certificate of Domestication and the Certificate of Incorporation becoming effective under Section 103 of the DGCL (the “Domestication Effective Time”), among other things, pursuant to the Plan of Domestication (as defined below): (i) each of the then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A ordinary shares”), will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Akili, Inc. (the “Akili, Inc. common stock”); and (ii) each of the then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class B ordinary shares” and, together with the Class A ordinary shares, the “ordinary shares”), will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Akili, Inc. common stock (collectively, the “Akili, Inc. Domestication Shares”).

As a result of and at the effective time of the Merger (the “Merger Effective Time”), among other things:

 

  (i).

each share of Akili capital stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (other than (x) any shares of Akili capital stock held in treasury by Akili, which treasury shares will be canceled as part of the Merger, and (y) any shares of Akili capital stock held by stockholders of Akili who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL), will be canceled and converted as follows:

 

  a.

each share of Akili common stock will be canceled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Akili, Inc. common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (I) the Aggregate Merger Consideration (as defined below) by (II) the aggregate fully diluted number of shares of Akili common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger as calculated pursuant to the Merger Agreement;

 

  b.

each share of Akili Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Akili Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Akili Series B Preferred Stock, Akili Series C Preferred Stock and Akili Series D Preferred Stock will be canceled, converted into shares of Akili common stock and converted into the right to receive a pro rata portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, after giving effect to the appropriate conversion ratios; and

  c.

if not previously paid, any dividend accrued on the Akili Series D Preferred Stock for a partial period will convert or be paid, as applicable, in additional shares of Akili Series D Preferred Stock at the Akili Series D Preferred Stock purchase price upon the consummation of the Merger. Dividends accrue on the Akili Series D Preferred Stock at an annual rate of 10% and are to be paid annually in additional shares of Akili Series D Preferred Stock at the Akili Series D Preferred Stock purchase price;

 

  (ii).

each warrant to purchase shares of Akili common stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than warrants that will be deemed automatically exercised in accordance with their terms) will be converted into a warrant to purchase shares of Akili, Inc. common stock, and the exercise price thereof shall be adjusted, in each case, as set forth in the applicable warrant to purchase shares of Akili common stock; and

 

  (iii).

each option to purchase shares of Akili common stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into an option to purchase shares of Akili, Inc. common stock, and the exercise price thereof shall be adjusted, with clauses (i) through (iii) representing an aggregate of 60,000,000 shares of Akili, Inc. common stock (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”), and a pre-transaction equity value of Akili of $600 million, as determined pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Akili, Inc. Merger Shares”).

At the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), SCS will deposit into an escrow account for the benefit of the pre-Closing Akili stockholders, optionholders and warrantholders an aggregate number of shares of Akili, Inc. common stock equal to 7.5% of the fully diluted shares of Akili, Inc. common stock (including shares reserved under the equity incentive plan to be adopted by Akili, Inc. in connection with the Closing but excluding the Earnout Shares and rights to Earnout Shares), determined as of immediately following the Closing (collectively, the “Earnout Shares”), which Earnout Shares will be subject to release from escrow to the pre-Closing Akili stockholders, optionholders and warrantholders in three equal tranches upon the daily volume weighted average price of a share of Akili, Inc. common stock reaching $15.00/share, $20.00/share and $30.00/share, respectively, over any 20 trading days within any 30 consecutive trading day period following the Closing and prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing, in each case, on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement.
