#### Executive Compensation
Compensation Determination Process

#### Role of Compensation Committee
Our Compensation Committee oversees our compensation policies, plans and benefits programs and determines and approves or makes recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding the compensation of our executive officers. In addition, our Compensation Committee reviews and approves or makes recommendations to our Board of Directors with respect to our major compensation plans, policies and programs and assesses whether our compensation structure establishes appropriate incentives for officers and employees. The Compensation Committee conducts an annual review of all components of executive compensation for all executive officers and approves compensation for all executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer, for whom it recommends compensation to the Board of Directors. Chief Executive Officer compensation and overall bonus achievement are then approved by the independent members of our Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee also reviews and recommends non-employee directors’ compensation to the full Board of Directors on an annual basis. The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to select, retain, terminate and approve the fees and other retention terms of consultants as it deems appropriate to perform its duties.

### Role of Management
Veracyte’s Chief Executive Officer is involved in the design and implementation of our executive compensation and is typically present at Compensation Committee meetings, except that the Chief Executive Officer is not present during any voting or deliberations on his compensation. In 2024, the Chief Executive Officer reviewed the analysis and recommendations of Aon, with the Compensation Committee and made recommendations regarding proposed salary, cash bonus opportunities and equity awards for our officers (other than himself). Management also participates in conducting annual risk assessments and ensuring that any risks involving compensation are properly mitigated. The Compensation Committee exercises its business judgment in accepting, rejecting and/or modifying any such executive compensation recommendations and approves all compensation and equity awards for all executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer.

#### Role of Independent Compensation Consultant
The Compensation Committee retains an independent compensation consultant to provide professional expertise regarding a variety of executive compensation and market practices. The Compensation Committee believes that working with an independent compensation consultant furthers our objectives to recruit and retain qualified executives, align their interests with those of stockholders and ensure that their compensation packages will appropriately motivate and reward ongoing achievement of business goals. The independent consultant assists the Compensation Committee in setting compensation and designing a comprehensive plan. In 2024, the Compensation Committee retained Aon to provide the following services:

• Reviewing and modifying the compensation peer group;

• Evaluating executive and director market pay analysis;

#### •

#### Developing executive and director pay programs;
