| Corporate Governance |

We remain committed to high standards of corporate governance, which we believe are foundational to the success of our business, create stockholder value and maintain our credibility in the marketplace.

| Strong Corporate Governance Policies and Practices |

Our policies and practices are the framework by which we govern our business. Our Board, along with management, regularly reviews our corporate governance policies and practices to ensure that they are appropriate and reflect our high standards. In reviewing these policies and practices and making recommendations, management and our Board consider the feedback of stockholders to be essential.

We maintain a corporate governance page on our website which includes many of our policies and practices, including our Global Code of Conduct (our “Code”), Corporate Governance Guidelines (our “Guidelines”), and the charters for each of the standing committees of our Board. The corporate governance page can be found by clicking on the “Corporate Governance” link in the “Investors” section of our website at www.aligntech.com .

The various policies and practices that we maintain and review regularly, including during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, foster responsible corporate governance. These policies include the following:
