 (e.g., a temporary or prolonged power outage), Cara will determine whether the Cara special meeting can be promptly reconvened (if the technical difficulty is temporary) or whether the Cara special meeting will need to be reconvened on a later day (if the technical difficulty is more prolonged). In any situation, Cara will promptly notify stockholders of the decision via www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CARA2025SM. Cara will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the Cara special meeting website. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the Cara special meeting website during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the Cara special meeting website log-in page at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CARA2025SM.

If you own shares in street name through an account with a bank, broker or other nominee, please send proof of your Cara share ownership as of the record date (for example, a brokerage firm account statement or a “legal proxy” from your intermediary) along with your registration request. If you are not sure what proof to send, check with your intermediary.

If your shares are registered in your name with Cara’s stock registrar and transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, no proof of ownership is necessary because Cara can verify your ownership.

**Q:**

#### What is the quorum requirement?
A:

A quorum of Cara stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. The presence virtually or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of one-third of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote, as of the record date, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Cara special meeting. As of the record date there were 4,571,229 shares of Cara common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Accordingly, the holders of at least 1,523,743 shares of Cara common stock must be present virtually or by proxy at the Cara special meeting to establish a quorum.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you attend the Cara special meeting and vote your shares during the Cara special meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if applicable, will also be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, the person presiding over the Cara special meeting, or the holders of a majority of shares present at the Cara special meeting or represented by proxy
