Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 16, 2021, Berkeley Lights, Inc. (the "Company") issued the statement below, which was published on CNBC Fast Money, in response to the report issued by Scorpion Capital on September 15, 2021:

"Berkeley Lights Statement

We have strong and continued confidence in our business, technology, customer relationships, and the value we deliver. The Berkeley Lights technology enables our customers to find the biology that cures disease.

The report from Scorpion, a self-proclaimed short seller, contains highly misleading statements, groundless claims and a clear lack of industry understanding. It's important to note that Scorpion never reached out to us prior to the publication of their report. We believe the sole purpose of the report was to serve the short seller's interests at the expense of Berkeley Lights shareholders.

Berkeley Lights is well positioned to continue to drive customer success and execute our business strategy."

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
