**Our nominating and corporate governance committee operates under a written charter, available on our website at https://ir.lenz-tx.com/corporate-governance,that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq.

Role of Board in Cybersecurity Oversight One of the key functions of our board of directors is informed oversight of our risk management process, including risks from cybersecurity threats. Our board of directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, and our executive officers are responsible for the day-to-daymanagement of the material risks we face. Our board of directors administers its cybersecurity risk oversight function directly as a whole, as well as through the audit committee. Our Chief Financial Officer is primarily responsible for the assessment and management of our material risks from cybersecurity threats, and the oversight of our cybersecurity policies and processes, including those described in “Risk Management and Strategy” above. Our Chief Financial Officer and our third party managed IT service provider collectively have significant prior work experience in various roles involving managing information security and implementing effective information and cybersecurity programs. They are informed about and monitor the prevention, mitigation, detection and remediation of cybersecurity incidents. Our information technology general controls are firmly established based on recognized industry standards and cover areas such as risk management, data backup, and disaster recovery. We have implemented processes to monitor security threats and vulnerabilities and respond to all cybersecurity incidents that could have an impact on our business operations, including prompt escalation and communication of major security incidents to senior leadership and our board of directors. Our Chief Financial Officer provides annual briefings to the audit committee regarding the Company’s cybersecurity risks and activities, including any recent cybersecurity incidents and related responses, cybersecurity systems testing, activities of third parties, and the like. The audit committee provides regular updates to the board of directors on such reports.
