 formal policy regarding consideration of such recommendations. However, any recommendations received from stockholders will be evaluated in the same manner that individuals recommended by our directors or officers or other parties are evaluated. Accordingly, our Board does not believe a formal policy regarding consideration of stockholder director nomination recommendations is necessary. Any such recommendations should be made in writing to the N&CG Committee, care of our Secretary at our principal executive office and must include the information required by our by-laws with respect to stockholder director nominations, including information regarding the nominee and stockholder, or beneficial owner, on whose behalf the nomination is made.

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which stockholders may recommend nominees to our Board since such procedures were last described in our definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 27, 2023.

Attendance of Directors at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

We expect all of our directors to attend the Annual Meeting. Our Board has adopted a policy under which each director makes every effort to, but is not required to, attend each annual meeting of our stockholders. All of our directors attended last year's annual meeting of stockholders.

#### Stockholder Communications with the Board
Our Board has adopted a formal process by which stockholders may communicate with our Board or any of its members. Stockholders who wish to communicate with our Board may do so by sending written communications addressed to the Secretary of Daré Bioscience, Inc., 3655 Nobel Drive, Suite 260, San Diego, CA 92122. These communications will be reviewed by the Secretary, who will determine whether the communication is appropriate for presentation to our Board or the relevant director. The purpose of this screening is to avoid having our Board consider irrelevant or inappropriate communications (such as advertisements, solicitations and hostile communications).
