 stockholders. We believe that this electronic proxy process expedites stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials and lowers the costs and reduces the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting.

On or about April 28, 2025, we will commence sending a Notice of Annual Meeting and Internet Availability to our stockholders along with instructions on how to access our Proxy Statement and Annual Report and authorize a proxy to vote your shares online.Please use this opportunity to take part in our affairs by voting on the business to come before the Annual Meeting. Our board of directors has fixed the close of business on April 22, 2025, as the record date for the Annual Meeting, or the Record Date, and only stockholders of record as of the Record Date may vote at the Annual Meeting and any postponements or adjournments of the meeting. All stockholders are cordially invited to participate in the Annual Meeting and any postponements or adjournments of the meeting. Returning the paper proxy card or voting electronically does NOT deprive you of your right to participate in the virtual meeting and to vote your shares for the matters acted upon at the meeting.

Your vote is important. Whether or not you expect to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting, please vote as soon as possible by submitting your proxy electronically via the internet or, if you requested paper copies of the proxy materials, by telephone by following the instructions in the proxy materials or by completing, signing and dating the proxy card and returning it in the enclosed postage paid envelope.

On behalf of the board of directors, thank you for your participation in this important annual process.

Sincerely,
Hing C. Wong, Ph.D.Founder and Chief Executive Officer
