Additional Information and Where to Find It

 

Seer, its directors and certain executive officers are participants in the solicitation of proxies from stockholders in connection with Seer’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”).

Information relating to the foregoing can also be found in Seer’s definitive proxy statement for its 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2025 Proxy Statement”), which was filed with the SEC on May 28, 2025, and is available here. Particular attention is directed to the sections of the 2025 Proxy Statement captioned “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance,” “Executive Compensation,” “Named Executive Officer Compensation Overview,” “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” and “Certain Relationships, Related Party and Other Transactions.” To the extent that holdings of such participants in Seer’s securities have changed since the amounts printed in the 2025 Proxy Statement, such changes have been reflected on the following filings: for Mr. Farokhzad, on May 22, 2025, August 21, 2025, November 21, 2025, December 11, 2025, February 5, 2026, and February 19, 2026; for Ms. Gulyani, on July 9, 2025; for Mr. Langer, on July 9, 2025; for Mr. McGuire, on July 9, 2025 and December 11, 2025; for Mr. Nishar, on June 16, 2025 and July 9, 2025; for Mr. Ro, on September 3, 2025; for Mr. Roelofs, on July 9, 2025; and for Mr. Horn, on May 22, 2025; August 21, 2025; November 21, 2025, February 5, 2026, and February 19, 2026.

 

Promptly after filing its definitive 2026 Proxy Statement with the SEC, Seer will mail the definitive 2026 Proxy Statement and a BLUE proxy card to each stockholder entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE 2026 PROXY STATEMENT (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT SEER WILL FILE WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
