 Directors is comprised of nine sitting members. In accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our Board of Directors is divided into three staggered classes of directors. One class is elected each year during the annual meeting of stockholders for a term of three years. The term of the Class III directors expires at the Annual Meeting, the term of the Class I directors expires at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, and the term of the Class II directors expires at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. After their initial terms expire, directors are expected to be elected to hold office for three-year terms and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified, subject to their earlier death, resignation, or removal.

#### Nominees
Our Class III directors, whose terms will expire at the Annual Meeting, are Stacey Cunningham, Mark Hawkins, and Carl Ledbetter. Our nominating and corporate governance committee has recommended, and our Board of Directors has approved, each of Ms. Cunningham, Mr. Hawkins, and Dr. Ledbetter as nominees for election as Class III directors in the Annual Meeting. If elected, each of Ms. Cunningham, Mr. Hawkins, and Dr. Ledbetter will serve as a Class III director until the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, subject to their earlier death, resignation, or removal. Each of the nominees is a current Class III director and member of our Board of Directors. For information concerning the nominees, please see “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance.”

If you are a stockholder of record and you sign your proxy card or vote by telephone or over the Internet but do not give instructions with respect to the voting of directors, your shares will be voted “FOR” the election of Ms. Cunningham, Mr. Hawkins, and Dr. Ledbetter. We expect that each of Ms. Cunningham, Mr. Hawkins, and Dr. Ledbetter will accept such nomination; however, in the event that a director nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee designated by our Board of Directors to fill such vacancy. If you are a street name stockholder and you do not give voting instructions to your broker, bank, or other nominee, your broker, bank, or other nominee will leave your shares unvoted on this matter.

#### Vote Required
The election of directors requires a plurality of the voting power of the shares of our common stock present virtually or
