 that are submitted by stockholders, and will respond if and as appropriate. Our Secretary is primarily responsible for monitoring communications from stockholders and for providing copies or summaries to the directors as he considers appropriate.

Communications are forwarded to all directors if they relate to important substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that our Secretary and Chairman of the Board consider to be important for the directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and matters as to which we tend to receive repetitive or duplicative communications. Stockholders who wish to send communications on any topic to the Board should address such communications to the Board in writing: c/o Secretary, Erasca, Inc., 3115 Merryfield Row, Suite 300, San Diego, California 92121.

The Board has concluded that our current leadership structure is appropriate at this time. In 2023, in recognition of the importance of independent oversight over management, the Board created the position of Lead Independent Director. The Lead Independent Director is elected by the independent members of the Board. The Board will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate.

#### Lead Independent Director
The responsibilities of the Lead Independent Director, as set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, include, but are not limited to: presiding over all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman of the Board is not present, including any executive sessions of the independent directors; calling separate meetings of the independent directors, if needed; providing feedback on Board meeting schedules and agendas; acting as the liaison between the independent directors and the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board; providing the Chairman of the Board with feedback and
