Your vote takes less time than this post will take to read.

Daré Bioscience's (Nasdaq: DARE) 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is June 11. If you own shares, you can vote right now — it can take under five minutes.

Vote online at <u>proxyvote.com</u> using the control number on your proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability.

One thing that catches people: if your shares are held through a broker, bank or similar organization, that organization will not automatically vote your shares on all matters being submitted for a vote. If you want your shares to be voted on all matters, you have to give voting instructions to that organization, and the deadline for receiving your instructions is likely earlier than June 11.
