The directors said they would be resigning effective immediately — arguing that, while they still believed in 23andMe’s mission, their departures were for the best due to Wojcicki’s concentrated voting power and a “clear” difference of opinion on the company’s future., saying she was “surprised and disappointed” by the directors’ decision. Still, she maintained that taking 23andMe private and “outside of the short term pressures of the public markets” would be best for the company long term.

Shares for 23andMe have also plummeted — with the company’s stock closing at 33 cents Thursday, down more than 97% since its 2021 stock market debut, according to FactSet.
