Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

Andrew Rickman is the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer and the Chairman of the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”).

The principal business address of the Reporting Person is 1 Ashley Road, Altrincham, Cheshire, WA14 2DT, United Kingdom.

Pursuant to Instruction C of Schedule 13D, the name, business address, present principal occupation or employment, and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted for each of the persons who may be deemed to exert control over the Reporting Person is set forth in this Schedule 13D.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

All of the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer reported herein as beneficially owned by the Reporting Person were acquired pursuant to a Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 19, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, SC Health Corporation (“SC Health”), Rockley Photonics Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales with company number 08683015 (“Rockley”), and Rockley Mergersub Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Issuer became the ultimate parent company of each of Rockley and SC Health, and SC Health merged with Merger Sub, with SC Health being the surviving entity in such merger (the “Merger” and, collectively with the other transactions described in the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination closed on August 11, 2021 (the “Closing”).

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, prior to the Merger Effective Time, Rockley proposed a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the UK Companies Act 2006 as a transfer scheme pursuant to which the Rockley shareholders transferred all of their Rockley ordinary shares to the Issuer in exchange for the same number of Issuer Ordinary Shares.

Immediately prior to closing of the Business Combination, all of SC Health’s issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares converted to SC Health Class A ordinary shares and were ultimately converted to the single class of Issuer Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis as further described below.

CUSIP No. G7614L 109 Schedule 13D Page 4 of 10 Pages

At the Merger Effective Time, immediately following the SC Health Class B Conversion, by virtue of the Merger:

1.each SC Health Class A ordinary share (other than any SC Health Class A ordinary shares held in treasury by SC Health (if any) (each, an “Excluded Share” and, collectively, “Excluded Shares”)) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time were automatically exchanged for one Ordinary Share of the Issuer, in accordance with Section 233(5) of the Cayman Islands Companies Act;

2.all SC Health Class A ordinary shares (other than the Excluded Shares) ceased to be outstanding, were cancelled and ceased to exist and (A) each certificate formerly representing SC Health Class A ordinary shares (other than Excluded Shares) and (B) each entry in the SC Health’s register of members formerly representing SC Health Class A ordinary shares (other than Excluded Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time thereafter, in case of both (A) and (B), only represented the right to receive Merger Consideration into which such SC Health Class A ordinary shares were exchanged (and contributed-in-kind) pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement;

3.each Excluded Share did, by virtue of the Merger, cease to be outstanding, was cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor, and ceased to exist; and

4.each ordinary share, par value $0.00001 per share, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub ordinary shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time were converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of SC Health.

These agreements, among other things, require the Issuer to indemnify the Issuer’s directors and executive officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by a director or executive officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of the Issuer’s directors or executive officers or as a director or executive officer of any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the Issuer’s request. The disclosure contained in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-255019) (the “Registration Statement”) in the sections titled “Management of HoldCo Following the Business Combination” on pages 250-251 of the Registration Statement, and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions – Indemnification Agreements” beginning on page 278 of the Registration Statement is incorporated herein by reference.

Rickman Executive Employment Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, on August 11, 2021, the Issuer entered into an employment agreement amendment with Dr. Rickman, pursuant to which Dr. Rickman will serve as the chief executive officer of the Issuer and will report directly to the board of directors of the Issuer. Dr. Rickman’s employment with the Issuer will continue until terminated in accordance with its terms.

Under the employment agreement amendment, among other terms, Dr. Rickman is expected to receive an initial annual base salary of $500,000, which will be subject to increase at the discretion of the board of directors of the Issuer or the Compensation Committee thereof and to be eligible to receive an annual performance bonus targeted at 100% of Dr. Rickman’s then current annual base salary. The actual amount of any such bonus will be determined by reference to the attainment of applicable Issuer and/or individual performance objectives, as determined by the board of directors of the Issuer or the Compensation Committee.

Dr. Rickman will also be eligible to participate in the customary health, welfare, and fringe benefit plans provided by the Issuer to its employees.

Both Dr. Rickman’s stock options and his RSUs would be subject to ratable vesting over four (4) years beginning on the closing of the Business Combination, subject to acceleration upon involuntary termination in connection with a change in control, as defined in the 2021 Plan.

CUSIP No. G7614L 109 Schedule 13D Page 7 of 10 Pages

Under his employment agreement amendment, the Issuer must provide Dr. Rickman at least twelve months’ notice, or pay in lieu of notice, prior to any termination of his employment unless that termination is for “cause” (as defined under his employment agreement amendment). Dr. Rickman must provide the Issuer with at least twelve months’ notice prior to his resignation, unless the Issuer reasonably determines that such resignation is for “good reason” (as defined in his employment agreement amendment).

If Dr. Rickman’s employment is terminated by the Issuer without “cause,” or by Dr. Rickman for “good reason”, subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims and continued compliance with his confidentiality and non-solicitation requirements, then, in addition to any accrued amounts, Dr. Rickman will be entitled to receive the following severance payments and benefits: (i) an amount equal to the sum of (a) his annual base salary then in effect and (b) 100% of his target annual bonus amount, payable in equal instalments over one year and reduced by any basic salary paid in lieu of notice; and (ii) continuation of all benefits for a period of twelve months.

The employment agreement amendment contains non-competition and non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions which, among other restrictions, and except in the case of an involuntary termination, restrict Dr. Rickman’s ability to be engaged or employed by, undertake duties for or be otherwise interested in the Issuer’s competitors, customers or suppliers, for a period of twelve (12) months following his termination (reduced by any portion of Dr. Rickman’s pre-termination notice period during which time he is not providing services, or “garden leave”).
