A stockholder that instead desires to nominate a person directly for election to the Board at an Annual Meeting of the Stockholders must meet the deadlines and other requirements set forth in our bylaws and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act. For information regarding stockholder proposals and director nominations, please see the section titled “Proposals of Stockholders for 2026 Annual Meeting”.

Stockholder Engagement Concerns

Between 2018 and 2024, stockholder support for our Board-Nominated directors had been extremely strong. However, at the last annual meeting of stockholders held in June 2024, 48% of the votes cast on the election of Elizabeth Mora as a Class I director (excluding broker non-votes and abstentions) were cast in favor of her election. In light of this result, and consistent with our commitment to connect with and respond to our stockholders, we increased our stockholder outreach and engagement efforts to better understand current perspectives on our director election. Management and our Chairperson of the Compensation Committee, Ms. Ladone, reached out to and had discussions with stockholders. The conversations included discussions on common issues raised, including with regards to over-boarding. In response to these engagement efforts, Ms. Mora has resigned from the board of two public companies.

Communicationswith the Board

The Board believes that management speaks for the Company. Individual Board members may, from time to time, communicate with various constituencies that are involved with the Company, but it is expected that Board members would do this with knowledge of management and, in most instances, only at the request of management.

In cases where stockholders and other interested parties wish to communicate directly with our non-management directors, messages can be sent to our Corporate Secretary, at Inogen, Inc., 859 Ward Drive, Suite 200, Goleta, California 93111, Attn: Corporate Secretary. Our Corporate Secretary monitors these communications and will provide a summary of all received messages to the Board at each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board. Our Board generally meets on a quarterly basis. Where the nature of a communication warrants, our Corporate Secretary may determine, in his or her judgment, to obtain the more immediate attention of the appropriate committee
