Schedule 14D-9/A Filed December 5, 2023
File No. 005-93360
Dear Linda Ramirez-Eaves:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments.
Please respond to these comments by providing the requested information or advise us as
soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts
and circumstances, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing your response to these comments, we may have additional
comments. All defined terms used herein have the same meaning as in your Schedule 14D-9, as
amended, unless otherwise indicated.
Schedule 14D-9/A Filed December 5, 2023
Identity and Background of Filing Person
1.We reissue prior comment 1 in our letter dated November 13, 2023. While you indicated
in the Amendment that "struck through language [was] removed from the first full
paragraph on page 2 in the 'The Offer' section," no such language was struck through in
the Amendment. Please revise to clearly remove the references to guaranteed delivery
procedures in this section.
Certain Management Projections
2.We reissue in part prior comment 5 in our letter dated November 13, 2023. Please revise
this section to include a meaningful discussion of the assumptions and limitations of the
Management Projections to facilitate investor understanding of the basis for them, which
should be more specific than the revised disclosure included in the Amendment. See Item
10(b)(3)(i) of Regulation S-K.

3.We reissue in part prior comment 7 in our letter dated November 13, 2023. While you
have added cautionary language regarding reliance on the Management Projections, the
parties and their financial advisors still disclaim responsibility for the Management
Projections in the Amendment. It is inappropriate for the party that prepared projections to
disclaim responsibility for them, even when qualified by the requirements of applicable
law. Please further revise.
Opinions of Olink's Financial Advisors
4.We reissue in part prior comment 9 in our letter dated November 13, 2023. While you
state in your response letter that J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs have each consented to
the references to their respective opinions and the filing of their opinions as exhibits to the
Schedule 14D-9, we do not see similar disclosure reflected in the Amendment. Please
revise your offer materials accordingly.
Additional Information
5.We reissue in part prior comment 15 in our letter dated November 13, 2023. While you
explain in your response letter how the Arbitral Tribunal would determine the redemption
price if there was a dispute regarding the Offer Consideration to be paid in the
Compulsory Redemption and that the Arbitral Tribunal would likely not set such
redemption price below the highest consideration offered during the Offer, we do not see
similar disclosure reflected in the Amendment. Please revise your offer materials
accordingly, or advise.
We remind you that the filing persons are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of
their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff.
Please direct any questions to Christina Chalk at 202-551-3263, Shane Callaghan at 202-
330-1032, or Eddie Kim at 202-679-6943.
Sincerely,
Division of Corporation Finance
