Recommended Candidates for Director

The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates for director persons recommended by shareholders entitled to vote on the election of directors. Such recommendations must be made to the Board of Directors in writing and delivered to Inotiv, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 2701 Kent Avenue, West Lafayette, Indiana 47906. There is no fixed process for identifying and evaluating potential candidates to be nominees for directors, and there is no fixed set of qualifications that must be satisfied before a candidate will be considered. Rather, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee has the flexibility to consider such factors as it deems appropriate. These factors may include education, diversity, experience with business and other organizations comparable with the Company, the interplay of the candidate’s experience with that of other members of the Board of Directors, and the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the Board of Directors and to any of the committees of the Board of Directors. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy regarding the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees, but the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee does consider, among other things, a director nominee’s potential contribution to the diversity of background and experience of our Board of Directors, including with respect to age, gender, international background, race and specialized experience. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate nominees for director submitted by shareholders in the same manner in which it evaluates other director nominees.

A shareholder who wishes to nominate an individual for director without the recommendation of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee must comply with the advance notice and informational requirements set forth in our Bylaws, which are more fully explained later in this proxy statement under “Shareholder Proposals for 2026 Annual Meeting.”

Board Diversity

Board composition is a critical area of focus for the Board, and the Board seeks representation across a range of attributes, including age, ethnicity, gender, international background, and race. The Board considers diversity in its review of Board composition and also takes into account industry knowledge, executive experience, operational experience, scientific and academic expertise, geography, and personal background of each member of the Board and potential nominees to join the Board. The emphasis throughout the process of identifying, evaluating, and nominating candidates and continuing members of the Board is to ultimately produce a group of directors that functions effectively as a leadership team.

The Board currently includes one female director and one racially/ethnically diverse director.
