Proposal 1 - Election of Directors Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, our Board is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. The total number of authorized directors on our Board is currently fixed at seven. Our Board consists of two Class I directors — Nelson C. Chan and Dr. Kukjin Chun; two Class II directors —Robert J. Barker and Hyunsoo Shin; and three Class III directors — Dr. Kyeongho Lee, John Schlaefer, and Jeff Tuder. The Class I, Class II, and Class III directors will serve until our annual meetings of stockholders to be held in 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively, or until the director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until the director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification, or removal. Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, our Board has nominated Nelson C. Chan and Dr. Kukjin Chun as Class I directors at the Annual Meeting. Nelson C. Chan and Dr. Kukjin Chun are current Class I directors and standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders cannot submit proxies voting for a greater number of persons than the two nominees named in this Proposal 1. Each director to be elected will hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2028 and until their successor is elected and qualified or until the director’s death, retirement, resignation, or removal. Each nominee is currently a director of GCT and has agreed to serve if elected, and we have no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. There are no family relationships between any of our directors, nominees, or executive officers. There are also no arrangements or understandings between any director, nominee, or executive officer and any other person pursuant to which the person has been or will be selected as a director or executive officer.
