Key Terms

proxy card, proteomics, life sciences tools, capital allocation
4 terms
proxy card regulatory
"vote “FOR” ONLY Seer’s Director Nominees on the BLUE Proxy Card"
A proxy card is a document that allows shareholders to give someone else the authority to vote on their behalf at a company’s meeting. Think of it as a permission slip that ensures a shareholder’s interests are represented even if they cannot attend in person. For investors, proxy cards are important because they influence company decisions and governance, giving them a way to participate indirectly.
proteomics medical
"pioneer the nascent space of proteomics using the Board’s decades of industry"
Proteomics is the large-scale study of all the proteins produced by a cell, tissue or organism, like taking a full inventory and watching how the workforce and machines inside a factory behave. For investors, proteomics matters because it helps identify drug targets, disease indicators and responses to treatments—information that can speed development, reduce risk, guide partnerships and reveal new commercial opportunities in biotech and diagnostics.
life sciences tools medical
"guide a category-creating life sciences tools company"
Laboratory instruments, consumables, software and systems used to conduct biological and chemical research, run diagnostic tests, and support drug or device development. Like the tools and appliances in a kitchen that let chefs produce dishes, these products enable scientists to do experiments, analyze samples and scale workflows. Investors watch them because their sales reflect research activity, recurring consumable demand and adoption of new technologies, which affect revenue stability and growth potential.
capital allocation financial
"Proven capital allocation and governance judgment"
Capital allocation is the process of deciding how a company or individual uses their money to grow, pay bills, save, or invest. It matters because good decisions can help build wealth and ensure resources are used wisely, while poor choices can limit growth or cause financial problems. Think of it like managing your allowance—deciding whether to spend, save, or invest to meet your goals.

Urges Stockholders to Vote “FOR” ONLY Seer’s Director Nominees on the BLUE Proxy Card

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEER) (“Seer” or the “Company”) today issued a letter to stockholders containing important information for shareholders to consider in connection with the Company’s upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on July 28, 2026. Stockholders as of May 29, 2026 will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

The Board recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the election of Seer’s seven highly qualified nominees on the BLUE proxy card.

The full text of the letter follows:

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

Omid Farokhzad, M.D.
Co-Founder, CEO and Chair;
Director since 2017


✓ Scientific architect of the
Proteograph® Product Suite
✓ Founder of multiple life
sciences platform companies
✓ Author of 200+ scientific
papers and inventor on 250+
patents
✓ Seer’s largest long-term
stockholder, together with
family entities
Terrance McGuire
Founding Partner of Polaris
Partners; Director since 2017


✓ Decades of healthcare
investing and company-
building experience
✓ Proven capital allocation
and governance judgment
✓ Investor in Seer at
inception and again at Seer’s
IPO
✓ One of Seer’s longest-term
stockholders
Dipchand (Deep) Nishar
Technology and Growth
Leader; Director since 2021


✓ Former Senior Managing
Partner at SoftBank Vision
Fund
✓ Former Managing Director
at General Catalyst
✓ Former senior executive at
LinkedIn and Google
✓ Deep capital markets,
growth investing and
corporate strategy expertise

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.

Support Long-Term Value Creation, Vote “FOR” Seer Today

Do not let Radoff and Torok derail Seer’s progress by replacing three critical members of the Board as we continue to build a new market in deep, unbiased proteomics.

Protect the value of your investment and vote the BLUE proxy card today “FOR” Seer’s seven highly qualified director nominees:

Omid Farokhzad, M.D.; Meeta Gulyani; Robert Langer, Sc.D.; Terrance McGuire; Dipchand (Deep) Nishar; Isaac Ro; and Nicolas Roelofs, Ph.D.

Thank you for your continued support of Seer.

Sincerely,
The Seer Board of Directors
