Item 5.02(b)

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On July 8, 2024, Rachel Haurwitz, Ph.D. informed Seer, Inc. (the “Company”) of her resignation as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and all committees thereof, effective immediately (the “Director Resignation”).

On July 11, 2024, the Company notified The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that upon the effectiveness of the Director Resignation, the Company will no longer be in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires that (i) the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) be composed of at least three members, and (ii) that one member of the Audit Committee has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or any other comparable experience or background which results in the individual's financial sophistication, including being or having been a chief executive officer, chief financial officer or other senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities. Due to the vacancy on the Audit Committee that will exist as a result of the Director Resignation, the Company intends to rely on the cure period provided by the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4)(B). The Company is evaluating the appropriate membership and composition of its Board and Board committees and intends to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) prior to the expiration of the applicable cure period granted under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4)(B).
