Wenbin Jiang
President and CEO, Cytek Biosciences

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I am Wenbin Jiang, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cytek Biosciences. It is a pleasure to welcome you to Cytek's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. I'd also like to welcome the company directors who are with us today, including Eleanor Kincaid and Richard Chin. Director nominee, Glenn P. Miur, is also on the line. Also present are Kenny Wang, the company's Deputy General Counsel, William McCombe, the company's Chief Financial Officer, and Paul Goodson, the company's Head of Investor Relations. May Yu from our auditors, Deloitte & Touche, who are available to respond to appropriate questions. Gordon Ho, our external legal counsel from Cooley, and Richard L. Reeser Jr., our Inspector of Election for the meeting. Kenny Wang will record the minutes of this meeting. This annual meeting is being held in accordance with the company's bylaws and Delaware law.

We will begin today with the formal business of the meeting. During the formal meeting, we will address the matter described in the company's proxy statement dated April 28, 2026. When we complete the balloting, we will announce the preliminary results of the vote. Then we will adjourn the formal meeting. After we complete the formal meeting, we will follow with a question and answer session. Stockholders who wish to submit questions may do so in the Ask a Question section at the bottom of the screen. We will now proceed with the meeting. I have proof by affidavit certifying that notice of this meeting has been duly given and that the notice of internet availability of proxy materials was mailed on April 28, 2026, to all stockholders of record at the close of business on April 13, 2026, the record date for this annual meeting.

The Inspector of Election has signed the Oath of the Inspector of Election. The affidavit of mailing notice and oath will be filed with the minutes of this meeting. The Inspector of Election has advised me that we have present in person and by proxy a sufficient number of shares to constitute a quorum. The meeting is duly constituted. For the purpose of this annual meeting, we will vote by proxy and by online ballot today. For all proposals, each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record at the close of business on the record date. If you have turned in a proxy and do not intend to change your vote, it is not necessary that you vote because we will count your proxy.

Those of you who did not turn in a proxy or who wish to change your vote may do so during this annual meeting. The votes cast today will be counted in the final tally along with the proxies previously received. It is now 11:04 A.M. on June 10, 2026. The polls for each matter to be voted on at this meeting are now open. The first order of business is the election of three Class II directors, each to hold office until the 2029 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The company's bylaws required that a stockholder wishing to nominate a director candidate provide advance notice to the company of the stockholder's intent on or prior to March 20, 2026. No such notice was received. Accordingly, I declare the nominations for directors closed. The board of directors has nominated Eleanor Kincaid, Glenn P.

Mill, and Ming Yan to serve as our Class II directors and recommends a vote for each nominee. The next order of business is the non-binding advisory vote regarding the compensation of our named executive officers for the year ended December 31st, 2025. Our board of directors recommends a vote for this proposal. The final order of business is the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026. Our board of directors recommends a vote for this proposal. Are there any other questions relating to the procedures for the meeting or the proposals under consideration?

If you intend to vote at this annual meeting and have not already done so, please do so now. The Inspector of Election will not accept the votes or any changes or revocations submitted after the closing of the polls. It is now 11:06 A.M. on June 10th, 2026, and the polls at this annual meeting are now closed. No additional proxies, votes, changes, or revocations will be accepted. The Inspector of Election has informed me that based upon the preliminary report of the votes which we have received, the director nominees have been elected as Class II directors. Compensation of our named executive officers for the year ending December 31st, 2025 has been approved, and the selection of Deloitte & Touche as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026 has been ratified.

We expect to report our final voting results on a current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days after the end of this meeting. There being no further business to come before this meeting, the annual meeting is now adjourned. We will now proceed with a question and answer period. We will respond to any appropriate questions from stockholders. Thank you for attending today's meeting and for the interest you have shown in the affairs of our company. We appreciate your attendance and support. Meeting has now officially concluded. Thank you for attending today's meeting. You may now disconnect your line.
