G LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Although stockholder approval of the selection of KPMG LLP is not required by law, our Board believes that it is advisable to give stockholders an opportunity to ratify this selection.

If stockholders do not approve this proposal at the Annual Meeting, our Audit Committee will reconsider their selection of KPMG LLP. If stockholders do ratify this appointment, the Audit Committee, which has direct authority to engage our independent registered public accounting firm, may appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that the change would be in the best interests of MiNK and our stockholders.

The Audit Committee has approved all services provided to MiNK by KPMG LLP during 2024. Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the 2025 Annual Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

KPMG LLP has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2020.
