Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws"), to be considered timely, stockholders who intend to present proposals for director nominations or any other proposal at the Annual Meeting must provide notice in writing to the Company at 9191 Towne Centre Drive, Suite 150, San Diego, CA 92122 no later than 5:00 P.M.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under the Company’s Bylaws, to comply with the SEC’s universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees, must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than October 14, 2023.
