 and the environmental impact of our annual meetings of stockholders.

What do I need to be able to attend the Annual Meeting virtually?

The Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders, which will be conducted exclusively by webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PACB2025 on June 4, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

In order to vote or submit a question during the Annual Meeting, you will need to follow the instructions posted at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PACB2025 and will need the control number included on your Notice or proxy card. If you do not have a control number, you will be able to listen to the meeting only and you will not be able to vote or submit your questions during the meeting.

The online meeting will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time on June 4, 2025. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time to leave ample time for check-in.

#### Why would you hold a virtual Annual Meeting?
We are continuously exploring technologies and services that will best permit our stockholders to engage with us from any location around the world and exercise their vote, and we have decided to conduct the Annual Meeting on a virtual basis because we believe it will be more beneficial than holding a live meeting. We are excited to embrace the latest technology to provide ease of access and real-time communication, while reducing the environmental impact and costs associated with an in-person meeting. We believe that by hosting our Annual Meeting virtually, our stockholders will be provided the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would at an in-person meeting, while offering a greater level of flexibility for many of our stockholders who may not be able to attend an annual meeting of stockholders in person.

Stockholders of record and street name stockholders with a legal proxy from their broker, bank, or other nominee will be able to attend the Annual Meeting by www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PACB2025, which will allow such stockholders to submit questions before and during the Annual Meeting and vote shares electronically prior to or during the meeting. We believe our stockholders’ increased opportunity to participate in the Annual Meeting virtually should alleviate any concerns about disenfranchisement of our stockholder base as a result of our decision not to hold the Annual Meeting in person.
