 Annual Meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Form 8-K to publish the final results. Who is paying for this proxy solicitation? We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of remote communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We engaged Alliance Advisors to assist us with our stockholder engagement process, and we may pay them an estimated fee of $30,000 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses if they assist us in soliciting proxies. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify Alliance Advisors and certain related persons against certain liabilities relating to or arising out of Alliance Advisor’s engagement. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. When are stockholder proposals and director nominations due for next year’s annual meeting? To be considered for inclusion in next year’s proxy materials, you must submit your proposal, in writing, by December 24, 2025, to our Corporate Secretary c/o Keros Therapeutics, Inc., 1050 Waltham Street, Suite 302, Lexington, Massachusetts 02421, and you must comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”). Nothing in this paragraph shall require us to include in our proxy statement or proxy card for the 2026 Annual Meeting any stockholder proposal that does not meet the requirements of the SEC in effect at the time. Our bylaws also establish an advance notice procedure if you wish to present a proposal before an annual meeting of stockholders but you are not requesting that your proposal or nomination be included in next year’s proxy materials. To be timely for our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our Corporate Secretary must receive the written notice at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on March 6, 2026 nor earlier than the close of business on February 4, 2026. However, if we hold our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders more than 30 days before or after June 4, 2026 (the one-year anniversary date of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders), then timely notice of a stockholder proposal
