Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate director candidates recommended by stockholders in the same manner in which the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates any other director candidate.

Any recommendation submitted to the Company should be in writing and should include any supporting material the stockholder considers appropriate in support of that recommendation but must include information that would be required under the “advance notice” provisions of the Company’s bylaws and rules of the SEC to be included in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such candidate. Stockholders wishing to propose a candidate for consideration by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to become nominees for election to the Board may do so by submitting the above information to our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at c/o Tempus AI, Inc., 600 West Chicago Avenue, Suite 510, Chicago, Illinois 60654, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Stockholders must also satisfy the notification, timeliness, consent, and information requirements set forth in our bylaws. These requirements are also described under the section entitled “Stockholder Proposals for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders”. For additional information about our director nomination requirements, please see our bylaws.

Board Diversity

While we do not have a formal diversity policy in place, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the diversity of the Board, including diversity of gender, ethnic background and country of origin, age, skills and other factors that it deems appropriate to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience, and capability on the Board. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is committed to actively seeking out and will instruct any search firm it engages to identify, individuals who will contribute to the overall diversity of the Board to be included in the pool of candidates from which nominees to the Board are selected. Our Board monitors the mix of skills and experience of its directors to help ensure it has the necessary tools to perform its oversight function effectively. The Board fully appreciates the value of a diversity of viewpoints, background and experiences as important to the selection of directors to enhance the Board’s cognitive diversity and quality of dialogue in the Boardroom.
