TABLE OF CONTENTS

Will a list of record stockholders as of the Record Date be available? For the ten days prior to the Annual Meeting, a list of our record stockholders will be available for examination by appointment by any stockholder of record for a legally valid purpose at our corporate headquarters during regular business hours. To schedule an appointment to access the list of record stockholders beginning May 4, 2025 and until the Annual Meeting, stockholders should email ir@veratx.com. Who can vote at the Annual Meeting? Only holders of Class A common stock of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On this Record Date, there were 63,771,720 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name If on the Record Date your shares of Class A common stock were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, then you are a stockholder of record. We urge you to fill out and return the proxy card that you may request or that we may elect to deliver at a later time or vote by proxy over the telephone or on the internet as instructed below to ensure your vote is counted. Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank If on the Record Date your shares of Class A common stock were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares of Class A common stock held in “street name” and the Notice is being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other agent regarding how to vote the shares of Class A common stock in your account. What am I voting on? There are four matters scheduled for a vote:

| • | Proposal 1: To elect the three Class I directors named herein to hold office until the Company’s 2028 annual meeting of stockholders. |

| • | Proposal 3: To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. |

| • | Proposal 4: To indicate, on an advisory basis, the preferred frequency of stockholder advisory votes
