Dear Fellow Seer Stockholder,

At our upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders on July 28, 2026, your vote is critical to the continued success of Seer.

Seer has a purpose-built Board of Directors with the expertise needed to guide a category-creating life sciences tools company. This Board is committed to overseeing our strategy to pioneer the nascent space of proteomics using the Board’s decades of industry knowledge and insight.

At the Annual Meeting, Bradley Radoff and Michael Torok are attempting to replace three of your Board’s sitting directors — Seer’s Co-Founder, CEO and Chair Omid Farokhzad, M.D., Terrance McGuire and Dipchand (Deep) Nishar — with candidates who bring no proteomics experience, no life sciences tools experience and no platform operating experience. Radoff and Torok have offered no plan to build Seer. Their only desire is to strip Seer of its cash. Additionally, their nominees raise serious concerns regarding independence and their ability to act in the best interests of all stockholders.


The Three Directors that Radoff and Torok Are Trying to Remove Are Critical to Seer’s Future

The Board thoughtfully evaluated the three director candidates identified by Radoff and Torok and unanimously determined that they lack the relevant skillsets, experience and independence required to oversee a complex proteomics company at a critical stage of its evolution in a nascent market. The Board also offered, in good faith, to interview these candidates. Radoff and Torok declined to make them available for customary interviews. Radoff and Torok’s actions demonstrate an unwillingness to work constructively with the Board, and we believe that their nominees would diminish the overall quality of our purpose-built Board.

The issue is not whether Radoff and Torok’s nominees have experience in other fields. The issue is whether they have the right experience for Seer. They do not.

Radoff and Torok are not merely proposing alternative directors. They are trying to install nominees who, in our view, appear selected to advance their short-term agenda.
