Annual meeting year 2026 annual meeting Meeting at which the Radoff-JEC Group is soliciting votes
universal proxy card regulatory
"a definitive proxy statement and accompanying WHITE universal proxy card"
A universal proxy card is a single voting ballot sent to shareholders that lists every director nominee put forward by both the existing board and any challengers, allowing investors to pick any mix of candidates they prefer. Like a combined ballot at a community election, it makes voting easier, increases individual shareholder control, and can materially change the dynamics, cost and likely outcome of contested board elections.
Tax Benefit Preservation Plan regulatory
"AGAINST the ratification of the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan"
A tax benefit preservation plan is a company policy and set of legal steps designed to protect valuable tax attributes—like carryforward losses or credits—from being lost if ownership changes. Think of it as locking up a store’s coupons so a new owner can’t void them; preserving those tax items can lower future tax bills and effectively increase the company’s value, so investors watch these plans as protection of potential after‑tax cash flows.
NOL Pill regulatory
"Vote “AGAINST” the NOL Pill"
strategic alternatives financial
"review of strategic alternatives that results in a value-maximizing outcome"
Strategic alternatives are different options a company considers to improve its value or achieve its goals, such as selling the business, merging with another company, or restructuring operations. For investors, understanding these options is important because they can significantly impact the company's future direction and its stock value, often signaling potential changes or opportunities.

Bradley L. Radoff, Michael Torok and the other participants named herein (collectively, the “Radoff-JEC Group”) have filed a definitive proxy statement and accompanying WHITE universal proxy card with the Securities and Exchange Commission to be used to solicit votes for the election of its slate of highly qualified director nominees at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of Seer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

 

On July 23, 2026, the Radoff-JEC Group issued the following press release after the close of business:

 

Radoff-JEC Group Urges Seer Stockholders to Vote “FOR” All Three of its Independent, Highly Qualified Nominees on the WHITE Proxy Card TODAY

 

All Three Independent Proxy Advisors Unanimously Recommend Stockholders Vote “FOR” Radoff-JEC Group Nominees, “WITHHOLD” Support on Seer Directors Terrance McGuire and Dipchand Nishar and Vote “AGAINST” the NOL Pill

 

Believes New, Independent Directors Are Required to Run a Credible, Transparent Review of Strategic Alternatives That Results in a Value-Maximizing Outcome for ALL Stockholders

 

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bradley L. Radoff and Michael Torok (together with certain of their affiliates, the “Radoff-JEC Group” or “we”), who collectively own approximately 7.7% of Seer, Inc.’s (NASDAQ: SEER) (“Seer” or the “Company”) outstanding common stock, today issued the following statement reminding their fellow stockholders to vote “FOR” the election of Howard H. Berman, Ph.D., Luis E. Rinaldini and Joshua S. Horowitz to Seer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), “WITHHOLD” on incumbent directors Terrance McGuire, Dipchand Nishar and Omid Farokhzad, M.D., and “AGAINST” the ratification of the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan.

 

We believe stockholders are at the final fork in the road at Seer, with a vote for our nominees representing a path to value creation and a vote for the incumbent directors representing a continued path to more irreversible value destruction:

 

·All three independent proxy advisors (Institutional Shareholder Services Inc., Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC and Egan-Jones Proxy Services) endorsed the Radoff-JEC Group’s case for urgent change at Seer.

 

·Seer’s stock has declined by 97% since its 2020 IPO.

 

·The Board rejected multiple premium acquisition proposals – including offers from both us and Chairman and CEO Omid Farokhzad, M.D. – without running a robust, transparent process, casting major doubt on its commitment to objectively maximizing stockholder value.

 

·Only two members of Seer’s seven-member Board are sufficiently independent to serve on its Special Committee charged with evaluating Seer’s strategic alternatives. The two-member Special Committee has still not disclosed its independent financial and legal advisors.

 

·The Board has allowed Seer to trade at a massive discount to net cash with no meaningful insider buying, repeatedly approved of dilutive equity grants and options repricing, and maintained multiple entrenchment devices to the detriment of stockholders.

 

 

 

·Our nominees – Howard H. Berman, Ph.D., Luis E. Rinaldini and Joshua S. Horowitz – are truly independent and bring complementary life sciences, transaction and investor experience that can strengthen the Board’s objective oversight of strategy and capital allocation and ensure that all strategic alternatives are fully and fairly evaluated with stockholders’ best interests in mind.

 

As we have stated previously, we agree with Dr. Farokhzad that Seer has no future as a publicly traded company. We believe Seer should be sold to the highest bidder in a transaction that maximizes value for ALL stockholders – and we strongly believe that the only way to achieve a value-maximizing outcome is to elect truly independent and qualified directors who are capable of running a robust and transparent review of strategic alternatives.
