 2024, no purchases of our equity securities were made by or on behalf of GH Research PLC or any “affiliated purchaser” as such term is defined in Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. F. Change In Registrant’s Certifying Accountant None. G. Corporate Governance As a “foreign private issuer,” as defined by the SEC, we are permitted, consistent with Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5615(a)(3), to follow home country corporate governance practices, instead of certain corporate governance standards required by Nasdaq for U.S. companies. Accordingly, we follow Irish corporate governance rules in lieu of certain of Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements. A foreign private issuer that elects to follow a home country practice instead of any of any such Nasdaq requirements must submit to Nasdaq, in advance, a written statement from an independent counsel in such issuer’s home country certifying that the issuer’s practices are not prohibited by the home country’s laws. We provided Nasdaq with such a letter of non-compliance with respect to:

| • | The Rule requiring maintaining a majority of independent directors (Rule 5605(b)(1)). Although we currently maintain a majority of independent directors, we may follow Irish law and practice in the future, under which we are not 
 required to appoint a majority of independent directors.                                                                                                                                                                             |

| • | The Rule requiring that our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present (Rule 5605(b)(2)). Instead, we follow Irish law according to which independent directors are not 
 required to hold executive sessions.                                                                                                                                                                                                 |

| • | The Rule regarding independent director oversight of director nominations process for directors (Rule 5605(e)). Instead, we follow Irish law and practice according to which our Board of Directors recommends directors for 
 election/re-election by our shareholders.                                                                                                                                                                                    |

| • | The requirement to obtain shareholder approval for the establishment or amendment of certain equity based compensation plans (Rule 5635(c)), an issuance that will result in a change of control of the company (Rule 5635(b)),       
 certain transactions other than a public offering involving issuances of a 20% or more interest in the company (Rule 5635(d)) and certain acquisitions of the stock or assets of another company (Rule 5635(a)). Instead, we follow   
 Irish law and practice in approving such procedures, according to which Board approval may suffice in certain circumstances, depending on the extent existing general authorities to issue shares are
