Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity. Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information. We design and assess our program based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF). This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use the NIST CSF as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business. Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall risk management program, and shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply across the risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas. Key elements of our cybersecurity risk management program include but are not limited to the following: - risk assessments designed to help identify material risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical systems and information; - a security team principally responsible for managing (1) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) our security controls, and (3) our response to cybersecurity incidents; - a documented set of cybersecurity policies and procedures that specifies the manner in which security controls are implemented; - the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security processes ; - cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, including incident response personnel, and senior management; - a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and - a third-party risk management process for key service providers based on our assessment of their criticality to our operations and respective risk profile,, suppliers, and vendors who have access to our critical systems and information. There can be no assurance that our cybersecurity risk management program and processes, including our policies, controls or procedures, will be fully implemented, complied with or effective in protecting our systems and information. We face risks from cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected us . For more information, see the section titled “Risk Factor- Our information technology systems, or those of our collaborators, CROs or other contractors or consultants, may fail or suffer security breaches, which could adversely affect our business. Security breaches, loss of data or financial assets, and other disruptions could compromise sensitive information related to our business or prevent us from accessing critical information and expose us to liability.” Cybersecurity Governance Our board of directors considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit Committee, or the Committee, oversight of cybersecurity risks, including oversight of management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program. The Committee is composed of members of our board of directors with diverse expertise, including risk management, public accounting, biotechnology, chief executive officer roles, and multiple public company directorships, which has prepared them to oversee our cybersecurity risks. The Committee receives quarterly reports from management on our cybersecurity risks. In addition, management updates the Committee where it deems appropriate, regarding any cybersecurity incidents it considers to be significant or potentially significant. 104 The Committee reports to our full board of directors regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. The full board of directors also receives briefings from management on our cybersecurity risk management program. Board members receive presentations on cybersecurity topics from our Senior Vice President, or SVP, Head of Finance and Investor Relations, Senior Vice President, General Counsel, internal security staff and external experts as part of the board of directors’ continuing education on topics that impact public companies. Andres Briseno, our SVP, Head of Finance and Investor Relations and, Douglas Snyder, our Senior Vice President, General Counsel, are primarily responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. Mr. Briseno and Mr. Snyder have primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. Mr. Briseno has served in a number of significant leadership roles at our company since 2016, including oversight of investor relations, business operations and corporate developments, and was appointed as SVP, Head of Finance and Investor Relations in 2023. Mr. Snyder has served in a number of significant leadership roles in various companies in the healthcare industry, and provided an oversight to legal and compliance teams with his broad legal background. Prior to joining our company, Mr. Snyder served in senior leadership and operations roles across healthcare field, including biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and the FDA . Further, our management team’s experience includes monitoring the cybersecurity landscape for new risks and best practices, developing and executing cybersecurity strategies, overseeing related governance policies, testing compliance with applicable technical standards, remediating known risks and leading employee training programs. Our management team takes steps to stay informed about and monitor efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include briefings from internal security personnel; threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the information technology environment.
