Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, we have determined that all the members of our Board, except Mr. Bowman, are independent directors, including for purposes of Nasdaq and SEC rules. In making that determination, our Board considered the relationships that each director has with us and all other facts and circumstances the Board deemed relevant in determining independence, including the potential deemed beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each director, including non-employee directorsthat are affiliated with certain of our major stockholders. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers. Mr. Bowman is not an independent director under these rules because he is currently employed as the Chief Executive Officer of our Company. Board Leadership Structure and Board’s Role in Risk Oversight Mr. Bowman, our Chief Executive Officer, currently serves as the Chairman of our Board and has served in that role since the Company went public in 2021. Our amended and restated bylaws do not require that our chair and chief executive officer positions be separate. Given his primary responsibility for managing our day-to-dayoperations as Chief Executive Officer, our Board believes that as Chairman, Mr. Bowman’s detailed and in-depthknowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing us and our business enhances the quality of the Board’s overall decision-making process. As the Company continues to grow, the Board continues to evaluate the benefits of separating the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or introducing a role of lead independent director. Such an action would, in each case, allow for the separation of day-to-daymanagement of business affairs from Board management and enhance the independence of the Board in its oversight of the business and in its objective evaluation and oversight of management’s performance. Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including risks relating to our financial condition, development and commercialization activities, operations, strategic direction and intellectual property as more fully discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” appearing in the Annual Report on Form 10-Kfor the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “ Annual Report on Form 10-K”) accompanying this proxy statement. Management is responsible for the day-to-day managementof risks we face
