PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE 2025 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To Be Held Virtually at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday, June 3, 2025

This proxy statement and the form of proxy card are furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) for use at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders of RxSight, Inc. (the “Annual Meeting”), and any postponements, adjournments or continuations thereof. The Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 3, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time virtually via live webcast. You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting virtually by visiting www.proxydocs.com/RXST, where you will be able to listen to the meeting live, submit questions and vote online after entering the control number listed on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice of Internet Availability”) or proxy card.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

The information provided in the “question and answer” format below addresses certain frequently asked questions but is not intended to be a summary of all matters contained in this proxy statement. Please read the entire proxy statement carefully before voting your shares. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not intended to be incorporated by reference into this proxy statement and references to our website address in this proxy statement are inactive textual references only.

Why am I receiving these materials?

Our Board is providing these “proxy materials” (as defined below) to you in connection with its solicitation of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting, which will take place on Tuesday, June 3, 2025. Stockholders are invited to attend the Annual Meeting virtually and are requested to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. The Notice of Internet Availability, containing instructions on how to access this proxy statement, the accompanying notice of annual meeting and form of proxy card, and our annual report, is first being sent or given on or about April 21, 2025 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. These items, together, may be referred to in this proxy statement as the “proxy materials.”

What proposals will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

There are three proposals scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting:

At the time this proxy statement was mailed, our management and Board were not aware of any other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting other than those set forth in this proxy statement and in the notice accompanying this proxy statement.

How does our Board recommend that I vote?

Our Board recommends that you vote:

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Holders of our common stock at the close of business on April 8, 2025, the record date for the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock held as of the Record Date. As of the Record Date, there were 40,620,239 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Stockholders are not permitted to cumulate votes with respect to the election of directors.

Stockholders of Record – Shares Registered in Your Name. If, at the close of business on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, our transfer agent, then you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and this proxy statement was provided to you directly by us. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card or to vote in person (virtually) at the Annual Meeting. Throughout this proxy statement, we refer to these registered stockholders as “stockholders of record.”

Street Name Stockholders – Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Nominee. If, at the close of business on the Record Date, your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee on your behalf, then you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and this proxy statement was forwarded to you by your broker or nominee, who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares by following the voting instructions your broker, bank or other nominee provides. If you do not provide your broker, bank or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee may, in its discretion, vote your shares with respect to routine matters but may not vote your shares with respect to any non-routine matters. Throughout this proxy statement, we refer to stockholders who hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee as “street name stockholders.” As a street name stockholder, if you plan to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee in advance of the Annual Meeting.

How many votes are needed for approval of each proposal?

What is a quorum?

A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present at the Annual Meeting for it to be properly held under our bylaws and Delaware law. A majority of the shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, in person (virtually) or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions, withhold votes, and broker non-votes are counted as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. If there is no quorum, a majority of the shares present at the Annual Meeting may adjourn the meeting to a later date.

What do I need to do to attend the Annual Meeting?

You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting virtually, submit your questions during the meeting and vote your shares electronically at the meeting by visiting www.proxydocs.com/RXST. You must pre-register to attend the meeting online and/or participate at www.proxydocs.com/RXST. The registration deadline is June 2, 2025 at 8:59 p.m. Pacific Time. To participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the control number from your Notice of Internet Availability or proxy card. The Annual Meeting webcast will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin at 7:45 a.m. Pacific Time.

How do I vote and what are the voting deadlines?

Stockholders of Record. If you are a stockholder of record, you can vote in one of the following ways:

Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting virtually, we recommend that you also vote by proxy so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

Street Name Stockholders. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you will receive voting instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee. You must follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee in order to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares. The availability of Internet and telephone voting options will depend on the voting process of your broker, bank or other nominee. As discussed above, if you are a street name stockholder, you may not vote your shares live at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee.

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

Stockholders of Record. If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy or change your proxy instructions at any time before your proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting by:

Street Name Stockholders. If you are a street name stockholder, you must contact the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares and follow their instructions to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

What is the effect of giving a proxy?

Proxies are solicited by and on behalf of our Board. Our executive officers Ron Kurtz, M.D. and Shelley Thunen have been designated as proxy holders by our Board. When a proxy is properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If the proxy is dated and signed, but no specific instructions are given, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board. If any matters not described in this proxy statement are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your shares. If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned, the proxy holders can vote your shares on the new meeting date, unless you have properly revoked your proxy, as described above.

What if I do not specify how my shares are to be voted?

Stockholders of Record. If you are a stockholder of record and you submit a proxy but you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted:

Street Name Stockholders. If you are a street name stockholder and you do not provide your broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares with voting instructions, then your broker, bank or other nominee will determine if it has discretion to vote on each matter. Brokers do not have discretion to vote on non-routine matters. Proposal No. 1 (election of directors), and Proposal No. 2 (the Say-on-Pay Vote), are non-routine matters, while Proposal No. 3 (ratification of appointment of independent registered public accounting firm) is a routine matter. As a result, if you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, then your broker, bank or other nominee may not vote your shares with respect to Proposal No. 1 or Proposal No. 2, which would result in a “broker non-vote,” but may, in its discretion vote your shares with respect to Proposal No. 3. For additional information regarding broker non-votes, see “What are the effects of abstentions and broker non-votes?” below.

What are the effects of abstentions and broker non-votes?

An abstention represents a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. If a stockholder indicates on its proxy card that it wishes to abstain from voting its shares, or if a broker, bank or other nominee holding its customers’ shares of record causes abstentions to be recorded for shares, these shares will be considered present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As a result, abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum and will also count as votes against a proposal in cases where approval of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting (e.g., Proposal No. 2 and Proposal No. 3). However, because the outcome of Proposal No. 1 (election of directors) will be determined by a plurality vote will be determined based on the frequency receiving the highest number of votes, abstentions will have no impact on the outcome of such proposals as long as a quorum exists.

A broker non-vote occurs when a broker, bank or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker, bank or other nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to such proposal and has

not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. Broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast. Therefore, a broker non-vote will make a quorum more readily attainable but will not otherwise affect the outcome of the vote on any proposal.

How are proxies solicited for the Annual Meeting and who is paying for such solicitation?

Our Board is soliciting proxies for use at the Annual Meeting by means of the proxy materials. We will bear the entire cost of proxy solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, mailing and distribution of the proxy materials. Copies of solicitation materials will also be made available upon request to brokers, banks and other nominees to forward to the beneficial owners of the shares held of record by such brokers, banks or other nominees. The original solicitation of proxies may be supplemented by solicitation by telephone, electronic communication or other means by our directors, officers, employees or agents. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for any such services, although we may reimburse such individuals for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such solicitation. We do not plan to retain a proxy solicitor to assist in the solicitation of proxies. If you choose to access the proxy materials and/or vote over the Internet, you are responsible for Internet access charges you may incur. If you choose to vote by telephone, you are responsible for telephone charges you may incur.

What does it mean if I received more than one Notice of Internet Availability?

If you receive more than one Notice of Internet Availability, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on each Notice of Internet Availability to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Is my vote confidential?

Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within the Company or to third parties, except as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote, or to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.

I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?

We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding,” under which we can deliver a single copy of the proxy materials and annual report to multiple stockholders who share the same address unless we received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing and mailing costs. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written or oral request, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of the proxy materials and annual report to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these documents. To receive a separate copy, or, if you are receiving multiple copies, to request that we only send a single copy of next year’s proxy materials and annual report, you may contact us as follows:

RxSight, Inc.

Attention: Assistant Secretary

100 Columbia, Aliso Viejo, California, 92656

(949) 521-7830

Stockholders who hold shares in street name may contact their brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other nominee to request information about householding.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Voting results will be announced by the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K that we expect to file within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, we will file an amendment to the Form 8-K to disclose the final results.

What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next year’s annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate individuals to serve as directors?

Stockholder Proposals

Stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at next year’s annual meeting of stockholders by submitting their proposals in writing to our Secretary in a timely manner. For a stockholder proposal to be considered

for inclusion in our proxy statement for our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, our Secretary must receive the written proposal at our principal executive office not later than December 22, 2025. In addition, stockholder proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials and be sent to our Secretary at our principal executive office.

Our bylaws also establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders who wish to present a proposal before an annual meeting of stockholders but do not intend for the proposal to be included in our proxy statement. Our bylaws provide that the only business that may be conducted at an annual meeting is business that is (i) specified in our proxy materials with respect to such meeting, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the our Board or any committee thereof that has been formally delegated authority to propose such business pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board (as defined in our bylaws), or (iii) properly brought before the annual meeting by a stockholder of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting who has delivered timely written notice to our Secretary, which notice must contain the information specified in our bylaws. To be timely for our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, our Secretary must receive the written notice at our principal executive office:

In the event that we hold our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders on a date that is more than 25 days from the first anniversary of the date of the Annual Meeting, then notice of a stockholder proposal that is not intended to be included in our proxy statement must be received no earlier than 8:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the 120th day before such annual meeting and no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the later of the 90th day prior to the day of the annual meeting, or if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made by us.

If a stockholder who has notified us of his, her or its intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting does not appear to present his, her or its proposal at such annual meeting, we are not required to present the proposal for a vote at such annual meeting.

Recommendation or Nomination of Director Candidates

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of our Board (the “Governance Committee”) considers recommendations and nominations for candidates to our Board from stockholders so long as such recommendations and nominations comply with our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, our Policies and Procedures for Director Candidates (as set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, available at https://investors.rxsight.com/corporate-governance/governance-overview (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing contained on our investor relations website is incorporated by reference in this proxy statement)), and all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Stockholders holding at least one percent of the fully diluted capitalization of the Company continuously for at least twelve months prior to the date of submission of the recommendation are eligible to recommend director nominees for consideration by the Governance Committee by writing to the General Counsel, Legal Department or Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company at our principal executive office. The recommendation must include the candidate’s name, home and business contact information, detailed biographical data, relevant qualifications, a statement of support of the candidate by the recommending stockholder within the context of the criteria for membership of our Board, evidence of the recommending stockholder’s ownership of our capital stock, a signed letter from the candidate confirming willingness to serve, information regarding any relationships between the candidate and any additional information required by our bylaws. Stockholder recommendations must be received not later than the 90th day nor earlier than the 120th day of the one-year anniversary of the date on which the Company first mailed its proxy materials or notice of availability of proxy materials (whichever is earlier) for the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders, regarding the year in which the recommended candidates will be considered for nomination. In the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or if the date of the annual meeting is changed by more than 25 days from the one-year anniversary of the date of the previous year’s annual meeting, then notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received by our Secretary not earlier than 8:00 a.m. Eastern time on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting, or if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made.

Following verification of the stockholder status of the person submitting the recommendation and verification that all requirements have been met, all properly submitted recommendations will be promptly brought to the attention of the Governance Committee.

In addition, we are required under new SEC Rule 14a-19 to include on our proxy card all nominees for director whom we have received notice under the rule, which must be received no later than 60 calendar days prior to the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting. For any such director nominee to be included on our proxy card for next year’s annual meeting, the Corporate Secretary must receive notice under SEC Rule 14a-19 no later than April 4, 2026. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the notice

requirement under SEC Rule 14a-19 is independent of the applicable notice requirements under the advance notice provisions of our bylaws described above which must also be satisfied.

Availability of Second Amended and Restated Bylaws

A copy of our second amended and restated bylaws may be obtained by accessing our public filings on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. You may also contact our Secretary at our principal executive office for a copy of the relevant bylaw provisions regarding the requirements for making stockholder proposals and nominating director candidates and for a copy of our Policies and Procedures for Director Candidates.

Who counts the votes?

Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Donnelley”) has been engaged as our independent agent to tabulate stockholder votes. If you are a stockholder of record, your executed proxy card is returned directly to Donnelley for tabulation. If you are a street name stockholder, your broker or other nominee will return one proxy card to Donnelley on behalf of all its clients.

Will there be any other items of business on the agenda?

If any other items of business or other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, your proxy gives discretionary authority to the persons named on the proxy card with respect to those items of business or other matters. The persons named on the proxy card intend to vote the proxy in accordance with their best judgment. Our Board does not intend to bring any other matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, and we are not currently aware of any matters that may be properly presented by others for consideration at the Annual Meeting.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board Composition

Our business affairs are managed under the direction of our Board, which currently consists of nine (9) members. Our certificate of incorporation provides that our Board will be divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. Each of our current directors will continue to serve as a director until the election and qualification of his or her successor, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. At each annual meeting of stockholders, upon the expiration of the term of a class of directors, the successor to each such director in the class will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following his or her election and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, in accordance with our certificate of incorporation. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one third of our directors. This classification of our Board may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control of our company.

Upon the recommendation of our Governance Committee, we are nominating Ron Kurtz, M.D., J. Andy Corley and Juliet Tammenoms Bakker, as Class I directors for election at the Annual Meeting. If elected, Dr. Kurtz, Mr. Corley and Ms. Tammenoms Bakker will each hold office for a three-year term until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2028 or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

The following table sets forth the names, ages as of the date of the Annual Meeting and certain other information for each of the directors with terms expiring at the Annual Meeting (who are also nominees for election as a director at the Annual Meeting), and for each of the continuing directors:

Director Nominees

Ron Kurtz, M.D. Dr. Kurtz has served as our President and Chief Executive Officer, as well as on our board since 2016.

Dr. Kurtz has served on the faculty of both the University of California, Irvine, and the University of Michigan. He earned his B.A. in Biochemistry from Harvard College and his M.D. from the University of California, San Diego.

We believe that Dr. Kurtz is qualified to serve on our Board due to his leadership track record, his experience as an ophthalmologist, and his service as our Chief Executive Officer and President.

Ms. Tammenoms Bakker holds an M.P.A. from the Harvard Kennedy School and a B.Sc. from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University, or CALS, and she currently serves as a Trustee on the Board of Trustees at Cornell University.

Director Independence

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. Under the rules of Nasdaq, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, the rules of Nasdaq require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and corporate governance and nominating committees be independent. Audit committee members and compensation committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 and Rule 10C-1, respectively, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Under the rules of Nasdaq, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

To be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 and under the rules of Nasdaq, a member of an audit committee of a listed company, among other things, may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors or any other board committee: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries. Additionally, members of the audit committee must not have participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiary of the Company at any time during the past three years.

The charter of the Compensation Committee requires each member of the Compensation Committee to meet the independence standards established by Nasdaq and the SEC. To be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10C-1 and under the rules of Nasdaq, the board of directors must affirmatively determine that each member of the Compensation Committee is independent, including a consideration of all factors specifically relevant to determining whether the director has a relationship to the company which is material to that director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a Compensation Committee member, including, but not limited to: (i) the source of compensation of such director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee paid by the company to such director and (ii) whether such director is affiliated with the company, a subsidiary of the company or an affiliate of a subsidiary of the company.

Our Board undertook a review of its composition, the composition of its committees and the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board has determined that Messrs. Corley, Warner and Palmisano, Dr. Fountain, and Mses. Tammenoms Bakker, Andrews and Maniar, representing seven of our nine directors, do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the rules of Nasdaq; of the remaining directors, Dr. Kurtz is not “independent” under Nasdaq rules because he is an executive officer of our company and Dr. Link is not

“independent” under Nasdaq rules due to certain payments made by us in 2023 and 2024 to a company in which a trust affiliated with Dr. Link is a significant investor and in which Dr. Link’s son-in-law serves as the chief executive officer, as described further under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” below. Our Board has further determined that each member of our Audit Committee, Dr. Fountain and Mses. Tammenoms Bakker and Andrews, have met the additional independence requirements for Audit Committee members under the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Our Board has affirmatively determined that each member of our Compensation Committee, Messrs. Corley, Palmisano and Warner, is independent in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and has met the additional requirements for Compensation committee members under such rules.

In making these determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions involving them described in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.” There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

Board leadership structure

Our Board is currently chaired by Mr. Corley. As a general policy, our Board believes that separation of the positions of Chair of our Board and Chief Executive Officer reinforces the independence of our Board from management, creates an environment that encourages objective oversight of management’s performance and enhances the effectiveness of our Board as a whole. As such, Dr. Kurtz serves as our Chief Executive Officer while Mr. Corley serves as the Chair of our Board but is not an officer of the Company. We currently expect and intend the positions of Chair of our Board and Chief Executive Officer to continue to be held by two individuals in the future.

Role of the Board in risk oversight

Our Board has an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing the management of our risks. Our Board of Directors is responsible for general oversight of risks and regular review of information regarding our risks, including credit risks, liquidity risks and operational risks. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to accounting matters, financial reporting, internal controls over financial reporting, and cybersecurity. Our Governance Committee assists our Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of risk associated with Board organization, composition, membership and structure, corporate governance and board performance. Although each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, our entire Board is regularly informed through discussions from committee members about such risks. Our Board believes its administration of its risk oversight function has not negatively affected our Board's leadership structure.

Committees of our Board of Directors

Our Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Governance Committee, each of which has the composition and the responsibilities described below. In addition, from time to time, special committees may be established under the direction of our Board when necessary to address specific issues.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee consists of Julie B. Andrews, Juliet Tammenoms Bakker and Tamara R. Fountain, M.D., with Ms. Andrews serving as chair. Our Board has determined that Ms. Andrews is an audit committee financial expert, as that term is defined under Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K, and that each audit committee member possesses financial sophistication, as defined under the rules of Nasdaq. Our Audit Committee oversees our corporate accounting, financial reporting and internal control over financial reporting processes and assists our Board in monitoring our financial systems. Our Audit Committee is also responsible for:

Our Audit Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq. A copy of our Audit Committee charter is available on our investor relations website at https://investors.rxsight.com/corporate-governance/governance-overview (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing contained on our investor relations website is incorporated by reference in this proxy statement). During 2024, our Audit Committee held five meetings.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee consists of Robert J. Palmisano, J. Andy Corley and Robert Warner, with Mr. Palmisano serving as chair. Our Compensation Committee oversees our compensation policies, plans and benefits programs. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for:

Our Compensation Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq. A copy of our Compensation committee charter is available on our investor relations website at https://investors.rxsight.com/corporate-governance/governance-overview (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing contained on our investor relations website is incorporated by reference in this proxy statement). During 2024, our Compensation Committee held five meetings.

Governance Committee

Our Governance Committee consists of Robert Warner, J. Andy Corley, Juliet Tammenoms Bakker and Shweta Singh Maniar, with Mr. Warner serving as chair. Our Governance Committee oversees and assists our Board in reviewing and recommending nominees for election as directors. The Governance Committee is also responsible for, among other things:

Our Governance Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq. A copy of our Governance Committee charter is available on our investor relations website at https://investors.rxsight.com/corporate-governance/governance-overview (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing contained on our investor relations website is incorporated by reference in this proxy statement). During 2024, our Governance Committee held four meetings.

Attendance at Board and Stockholder Meetings

During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, our Board held five meetings (including regularly scheduled and special meetings), and each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of our Board held during the period for which he or she has been a director and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of our Board on which he or she served during the periods that he or she served on such committee.

Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of our Board at annual meetings of stockholders, we strongly encourage, but do not require, our directors to attend. Six of our directors attended our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During 2024, the members of our Compensation Committee were Robert J. Palmisano, J. Andy Corley and Robert Warner. None of the members of our Compensation Committee is or has been an officer or employee of our company. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the Board or Compensation Committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire Board) of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board or Compensation Committee.

Considerations in Evaluating Director Nominees

Our Governance Committee (or for purposes of this section, the “committee”) will use established procedures to identify and evaluate any individual recommended or offered for nomination to the Board. The committee will consider candidates recommended by stockholders in the same manner as candidates recommended to the committee from other sources. In its evaluation of director candidates, including the members of the Board eligible for re-election, the committee will consider the following: current size and composition of the board and the needs of the board and the respective committees of the board; such factors as character, integrity, judgment, diversity of experience, independence, area of expertise, corporate experience, length of service, potential conflicts of interest, other commitments and the like, evaluated among others factors and not assigned any particular weighting or priority; and other factors that the committee may consider appropriate. The committee requires the following minimum qualifications to be satisfied by any nominee for a position on the board: the highest personal and professional ethics and integrity; proven achievement and competence in the nominee’s field and the ability to exercise sound business judgment; skills that are complementary to those of the existing board; the ability to assist and support management and make significant contributions to the Company’s success; and an understanding of the fiduciary responsibilities that are required of a member of the board and the commitment of time and energy necessary to diligently carry out those responsibilities.

If the committee determines that an additional or replacement director is required, the committee may take such measures that it considers appropriate in connection with its evaluation of a director candidate, including candidate interviews, inquiry of the person or persons making the recommendation or nomination, engagement of an outside search firm to gather additional information, or reliance on the knowledge of the members of the committee, the board or management. The committee may propose to the board a candidate recommended or offered for nomination by a stockholder as a nominee for election to the board.

Our Governance Committee considers the suitability of each director candidate, including current directors, in light of the current size and composition of our board. Although our Board does not maintain a specific policy with respect to board diversity, our Board believes that our Board should be a diverse body, and our Governance Committee considers a broad range of backgrounds and

experiences. In addition, we intend to satisfy applicable laws and regulations regarding board composition. In making determinations regarding nominations of directors, our Governance Committee may take into account the benefits of diverse viewpoints. Our Governance Committee also considers these and other factors as it oversees the annual board of director and committee evaluations. After completing its review and evaluation of director candidates, our Governance Committee recommends to our full Board the director nominees for selection.

Skills and Qualifications of Our Director Nominees

The Governance Committee has identified certain skills, experiences and professional qualifications that are important to be represented on the Board for strong collective oversight of the company’s business and strategy. These skills and qualifications, along with the ways these experiences contribute to the Board’s collective oversight of the development and execution of the company’s strategy. Each of our directors’ specific skills and experiences are included in the table below and described more fully in their individual biographies. Even though a particular skill may not be indicated below, our directors often have some level of experience in each of the areas listed.

Stockholder Recommendations for Nominations to the Board of Directors

Our Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders so long as such recommendations or nominations comply with our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, our Policies and Procedures for Director Candidates and applicable laws, rules and regulations, including those promulgated by the SEC. Our Governance Committee will evaluate such recommendations in accordance with its charter, our bylaws and our Policies and Procedures for Director Candidates, as well as the regular director nominee criteria described above. This process is designed to ensure that our Board includes members with diverse backgrounds, skills and experience, including appropriate financial and other expertise relevant to our business.

A stockholder that wants to recommend a candidate to our board of directors may do so by following the procedures set forth above in the section titled “Recommendation or Nomination of Director Candidates.” Our Governance Committee has discretion to decide which individuals to recommend for nomination as directors.

Under our bylaws, stockholders may also directly nominate persons for election to our Board. Any nomination must comply with the requirements set forth in our bylaws and must be sent in writing to our Secretary at RxSight, Inc., 100 Columbia, Aliso Viejo, California 92656. To be timely for the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, nominations must be received by our Secretary observing the deadlines discussed above in the section titled “Recommendation or Nomination of Director Candidates.”

Communications with the Board of Directors

Stockholders and other interested parties wishing to communicate directly with our non-management directors, may do so by writing and sending the correspondence to our Chief Financial Officer by mail to our principal executive offices at RxSight, Inc., 100 Columbia, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656. Our Chief Financial Officer, in consultation with appropriate directors as necessary, will review all incoming communications and screen for communications that (1) are solicitations for products and services, (2) relate to matters of a personal nature not relevant for our stockholders to act on or for our board to consider and (3) matters that are of a type that are improper or irrelevant to the functioning of our board or our business, for example, mass mailings, job inquiries and business solicitations. If appropriate, our Chief Financial Officer will route such communications to the appropriate director(s) or, if none is specified, then to the chairperson of the board or the lead independent director (if one is appointed). These policies and procedures do not apply to communications to non-management directors from our officers or directors who are stockholders or stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

Insider Trading Policy

We have adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities and those of public companies in which we have a business relationship by our directors, officers, employees, consultants, contractors or advisors that we believe is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and the exchange listing standards applicable to us. It is our policy that any transactions in our securities by the company itself shall be in full compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. The code of business conduct and ethics is available on our website at https://investors.rxsight.com (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing contained on our investor relations website is incorporated by reference in this proxy statement). We intend to disclose future amendments to such code, or any waivers of its requirements, applicable to any principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions or our directors on our website identified above. Information contained on the website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy and should not be considered to be part of this proxy.

Outside Director Compensation Policy

Under our Outside Director Compensation Policy, each non-employee director will be eligible to receive compensation for his or her service consisting of annual cash retainers and equity awards under our outside director compensation policy. Our Board will have the discretion to revise non-employee director compensation as it deems necessary or appropriate.

In December 2023, our Board, upon recommendation of our Compensation Committee, amended our Outside Director Compensation Policy, effective January 1, 2024 to increase the cash compensation for services as board member from $45,000 per year to $50,000 per year.

Cash Compensation. For the 2024 fiscal year, all non-employee directors were eligible to receive the following cash compensation for their services:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if our Board or any one committee of our Board meets in excess of 8 times in a year (measured from annual meeting to annual meeting), such non-employee directors will be provided a fee of $1,500 for each additional meeting attended. Each annual cash retainer and additional annual fee will be paid quarterly in arrears on a prorated basis.

In December 2024, our Board, upon recommendation of our Compensation Committee, amended our Outside Director Compensation Policy, effective December 19, 2024, to increase the equity compensation for services as board member from $150,000 per year to $170,000 per year and increase the initial RSU grant from $217,500 to $277,500.

Equity Compensation. Effective as of December 19, 2024, non-employee directors will be eligible to receive all types of awards (except incentive stock options) under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) (or the applicable equity plan in place at the

time of grant), including discretionary awards not covered under the outside director compensation policy. Nondiscretionary, automatic grants of restricted stock units are made to our non-employee directors as follows:

The “value” for the Initial Awards and Annual Awards described above means the fair value on the date of grant for full-value shares and the grant fair value calculated in accordance with a Black-Scholes valuation model for stock options, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or such other methodology our Board or Compensation Committee may determine. In the event of a change in control, as such term is defined in the 2021 Plan, each non-employee director will fully vest in his or her outstanding equity awards, including any Initial Awards and Annual Awards, provided that the non-employee director continues to be a non-employee director through the date of the change in control. Additionally, in the event of a non-employee director’s death or termination due to disability, such non-employee director will fully vest in his or her outstanding equity awards as of immediately prior to the non-employee director’s death or termination due to disability.

Pursuant to our outside director compensation policy, no non-employee director may be issued, in any fiscal year, cash retainers or fees and equity awards with an aggregate value greater than $500,000, increased to $1,000,000 for the fiscal year an individual initially becomes a member of our Board.

Other than as set forth in the table below, we did not pay any other compensation to any of our non-employee directors in 2024. We also reimburse our directors for expenses associated with attending meetings of our Board and its committees.

Director Compensation

The following table presents the total compensation that each of our non-employee directors received during the year ended December 31, 2024. See “Executive Compensation” for a discussion of compensation paid to Dr. Kurtz, our Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Kurtz receives no additional compensation for serving on our Board.

Stock Ownership Guidelines for Non-Employee Directors

In January 2023, our Board approved the equity ownership guidelines for the minimum ownership levels for our Board. We maintain equity ownership guidelines to further align interests of our directors with those of our stockholders. Each of our directors who receive compensation from us shall comply with the minimum ownership levels and timing of compliance outlined in the equity ownership guidelines. Each non-employee director should hold shares of the Company's common stock equal to three times the annual cash retainer for his or her board service. The individuals subject to these guidelines will have until the later of (i) January 1, 2028 or (ii) the end of the fiscal year of the Company that includes the five year anniversary of the date that the applicable individual is appointed as a non-employee director to comply with the minimum stock ownership requirement. If a director who receives compensation from us fails to reach, or falls below, the minimum ownership level set forth in the equity ownership guidelines, he or she may be required to retain 50% of any net shares derived from equity awards under our equity incentive plans until his or her minimum ownership level is met or, if necessary, to retain the minimum ownership level.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board consists of nine members. The number of directors is fixed by our Board, subject to the terms of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Each of our current directors will continue to serve as a director until the election and qualification of his or her successor, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that our Board is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. Our directors are divided among the three classes as follows:

At each annual meeting of stockholders, upon the expiration of the term of a class of directors, the successor to each such director in the class will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following his or her election and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, in accordance with our certificate of incorporation. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one third of our directors.

This classification of our Board may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control of our company.

Nominees

Our Governance Committee has recommended, and our Board has approved, Ron Kurtz, M.D., J. Andy Corley, and Juliet Tammenoms Bakker as nominees for election as Class I directors at the Annual Meeting. If elected, each of Dr. Kurtz, Mr. Corley and Ms. Tammenoms Bakker will serve as a Class I director until the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders or until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. Dr. Kurtz, Mr. Corley and Ms. Tammenoms Bakker are currently directors of our company, and each has agreed to being named in this proxy statement as a nominee. For information concerning the nominees, please see the section titled “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance.”

If you are a stockholder of record and you sign your proxy card or vote over the Internet or by telephone but do not give instructions with respect to the voting of directors, your shares will be voted FOR the election of Dr. Kurtz, Mr. Corley and Ms. Tammenoms Bakker . If you are a street name stockholder of shares of our common stock and you do not give voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, then your broker, bank or other nominee will leave your shares unvoted on this matter. In the event that a director nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who shall be designated by our Board to fill such vacancy.

Vote Required

The election of each Class I director requires a plurality of the votes of the shares of our common stock present in person (virtually) or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon to be approved. “Plurality” means that the three nominees who receive the most votes cast FOR will be elected as Class I directors.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE THREE NOMINEES NAMED ABOVE AS CLASS I DIRECTORS TO SERVE FOR A THREE-YEAR TERM.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking our stockholders to cast an advisory vote to approve the compensation of the named executive officers identified in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table in the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement.

Compensation Program and Philosophy

The primary goal of our executive compensation program is to ensure that we hire and retain talented and experienced executive officers who are motivated to achieve or exceed our short-term and long-term corporate goals. Our compensation philosophy is team-oriented and our success is dependent on what our management team can accomplish together. Therefore, we seek to provide our non-CEO executive officers with comparable levels of base salary, bonuses, and annual equity awards that are based largely on overall company performance.

In determining the form and amount of compensation payable to our executive officers, we are guided by the following objectives and principles:

Our Board believes that our current executive compensation program has been effective at linking executive compensation to our performance and aligning the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders. We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement by voting in favor of the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis in a non-binding vote, the compensation of RxSight, Inc. named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables and narrative disclosures set forth in the proxy statement relating to RxSight’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders.”

Vote Required

The affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present in person (virtually) or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers identified in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table in the "Executive Compensation" section of the proxy statement (the "Say-on-Pay Vote"). You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal. Abstentions have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes are not included in the tabulation of voting results on this proposal, and will not affect the outcome of voting on this proposal.

Although this Say-on-Pay Vote is advisory and, therefore, will not be binding on us, our compensation committee and our Board value the opinions of our stockholders. Accordingly, to the extent there is a significant vote against the compensation of our named executive officers, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns, and the compensation committee will evaluate what actions may be necessary or appropriate to address those concerns.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Our Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP to audit the financial statements of our company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 and recommends that stockholders vote in favor of the ratification of such appointment. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, Ernst & Young LLP served as our independent registered public accounting firm.

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders are being asked to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Stockholder ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP is not required by our bylaws or other applicable legal requirements; however, our Board is submitting the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance. In the event that this appointment is not ratified by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present virtually in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote, such appointment will be reconsidered by our Audit Committee. Even if the appointment is ratified, our Audit Committee, in its sole discretion, may appoint another independent registered public accounting firm at any time during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 if our Audit Committee believes that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to be present virtually at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she wishes to do so, and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

Fees Paid to the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The following table presents fees for professional audit services and other services rendered to us by Ernst & Young LLP for our fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Auditor Independence

In 2024, there were no other professional services provided by Ernst & Young LLP that would have required our Audit Committee to consider their compatibility with maintaining the independence of Ernst & Young LLP.

Audit Committee Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit, Audit Related and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our Audit Committee has established a policy governing our use of the services of our independent registered public accounting firm. Under the policy, our Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all audit, audit-related and permissible non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm in order to ensure that the provision of such services does not impair such accounting firm’s independence. All permissible audit services, audit-related services and permissible non-audit services rendered by, and related fees paid to, Ernst & Young LLP for our fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were pre-approved by our Audit Committee.

Vote Required

The ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present in person (virtually) or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote AGAINST this proposal. Because this is a routine proposal, we do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR OUR FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis is intended to assist our stockholders in understanding our executive compensation program by providing an overview of our executive compensation-related policies, practices, and decisions for fiscal year 2024. It also explains how we determined the material elements of compensation for our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and the executive officers (other than our principal executive officer and principal financial officer) who were our most highly-compensated executive officers as of December 31, 2024, and whom we refer to as our “named executive officers.” We had a total of four executive officers in 2024, all of whom served for the full year. For 2024, our named executive officers were:

Overview

We are a commercial-stage medical technology company dedicated to providing high quality customized vision to patients following cataract surgery. Our proprietary RxSight® Light Adjustable Lens system (“RxSight system”) is the first and only commercially available premium cataract technology that enables doctors to customize and optimize visual acuity for patients after surgery. The RxSight system is comprised of our RxSight Light Adjustable Lens® (“LAL®” and “LAL+®”, collectively the “LAL®”), RxSight Light Delivery Device (“LDD™”), and accessories. Our LAL is a premium intraocular lens (“IOL”) made of proprietary photosensitive material that changes shape in response to specific patterns of ultraviolet (“UV”) light generated by our LDD.

2024 Business Highlights

2024 Executive Compensation Highlights

Consistent with our performance and compensation philosophy as further detailed below, the compensation committee took the following key actions with respect to the named executive officers for and during 2024:

Base Salary. Consistent with our approach to provide compensation competitive with our peer companies, and in consideration of our historical approach of setting target cash compensation at the same level for Dr. Kurtz’s direct reports, in February 2024, the compensation committee recommended to the board of directors, and the board of directors approved, an annual base salary increase for Dr. Kurtz of 6.2%, setting his annual base salary at $685,000, effective as of March 1, 2024. This change positioned Dr. Kurtz's salary within a range that the compensation committee viewed as competitive for chief executive officer roles within our peer companies and industry, in terms of total cash compensation. The compensation committee also recommended to the board of directors, and the board of directors approved, an increase in the annual base salaries of our other named executive officers of 5.4%, in each case setting such named executive officer’s annual base salary at $485,000, effective as of March 1, 2024. On July 15, 2024, the board of directors and compensation committee jointly approved the appointment of each of Ms. Thunen, Mr. Weinberg and Dr. Goldshleger to the position of Co-President, in addition to each such named executive officer’s then-current position. In connection

with these promotions and the increased responsibility of each new position, the board of directors and compensation committee set such named executive officer’s annual base salary at $535,000, effective as of July 15, 2024.

Annual Bonus. Consistent again with our intended approach to provide compensation competitive with peer companies, and in consideration of our historical approach of setting target cash compensation at the same level for Dr. Kurtz’s direct reports, in February 2024, the compensation committee recommended to the board of directors, and the board of directors approved, a target bonus change for Dr. Kurtz, increasing his annual target bonus from 90% to 100% of his base salary. This change positioned Dr. Kurtz’s annual bonus opportunity within a range that the compensation committee viewed as competitive for chief executive officer roles within our peer companies and industry, in terms of total cash compensation. No changes in target bonus were made for our other named executive officers in 2024, which remained at 65% of base salary, as the existing target bonuses were considered market competitive.

In February 2025, the board of directors determined that the company achieved 112% of its corporate goals, which were comprised of specific financial and operating objectives and had been established by the board of directors in February 2024, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee. See the section below entitled “Compensation Elements – Annual Bonuses - Corporate Performance in Fiscal 2024 and Payouts” for information regarding our 2024 performance goals, weightings, and payout methodology.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation. In order to align the long-term interests of our executives and stockholders, support retention and provide motivational value, in February 2024, the compensation committee recommended to the board of directors, and the board of directors approved, long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options to purchase shares of our common stock under our 2021 Plan, effective March 4, 2024 (the third trading day following the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024). The compensation committee believe that stock options are the most appropriate equity vehicle to align management’s interests with those of shareholders, despite the sole use of stock options being an uncommon practice relative to peer company practices. The options vest monthly in equal increments over a period of four years, provided the executive continues to provide services to the company through each vesting date. These awards are intended to provide long-term incentive compensation that is comparable with similar roles in our peer companies.

The compensation committee considers multiple factors in determining long-term incentive awards for executive officers, including, but not limited to, Company financial performance, total shareholder return / stock price performance, competitive market data by individual and in the aggregate for the Executive Officers, tenure and experience, The compensation committee generally utilizes the competitive 50th-75th percentiles as a reference point and a factor in setting pay to ensure the total compensation package is market competitive in order to retain uniquely skilled NEOs and other key employees in a highly competitive market. The compensation committee also considers other factors described below under “Compensation Setting Process” when determining the long-term incentive compensation of executives. The board of directors, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, determined to award stock options to our named executive officers in the amounts described below, in consideration of the substantial increase (93%) in our stock price from November 2023 (as initially taken into account by the compensation committee when considering 2024 equity awards for the named executive officers in December 2023) to February 2024, when the stock option awards were ultimately approved. Consistent with the Company’s team-based approach, Dr. Kurtz voluntarily reduced his long-term incentive award to provide additional long-term incentive awards to the Co-Presidents. The intent of the re-allocation of Dr. Kurtz’s equity awards was to recognize the team-based approach at the Company and enhance retention for the Co-Presidents.

Due to the Black-Scholes option pricing model, our methodology for determining the number of shares subject to stock options to be awarded to a particular recipient under our 2021 Plan (i.e., the value of the total award approved for such recipient, divided by the grant date fair value an option to purchase one share of common stock, calculated based on a 30-day average share price ending on a date close to compensation committee approval of the option award) and the substantial increase in our stock price, granting stock options in February 2024 would have resulted in the named executive officers receiving stock options covering 48% fewer shares than if granted using the same methodology measured as of December 2023, and with a much higher exercise price. The compensation committee did not want to reduce the number of shares subject to stock options to be awarded to the named executive officers, relative to the amounts initially considered by the compensation committee in December 2023, solely on account of a substantial stock price increase which benefitted our stockholders. Accordingly, the board of directors, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, approved the grant of stock options to the named executive officers covering a number of shares which mitigated a significant portion of the impact of the stock price increase, as discussed further below. The grant date fair value of the stock option granted to Dr. Kurtz was $5,537,883 and the grant date fair value of the stock options granted to each of the other named executive officers was $3,426,797.

On July 15, 2024, the board of directors and compensation committee jointly approved the appointment of each of Ms. Thunen, Mr. Weinberg and Dr. Goldshleger to the position of Co-President, in addition to each such named executive officer’s then-current position. In connection with these promotions and the increased responsibility of each new position, the board of directors and compensation committee also approved the grant of stock options to Ms. Thunen, Mr. Weinberg and Dr. Goldshleger, with each such stock option covering 50,000 shares. The board of directors and compensation committee determined the size of the promotion stock

options based on increased responsibility and to retain talented and experienced executive officers who are motivated to achieve or exceed our short-term and long-term corporate goals.

Executive Compensation Policies and Practices

We strive to maintain sound executive compensation policies and practices, including compensation-related corporate governance standards, consistent with our executive compensation philosophy. During 2024, the following executive compensation policies and practices were in place, including both policies and practices we have implemented to drive performance and policies and practices that either prohibit or minimize behaviors that we do not believe serve our stockholders’ long-term interests.

Stockholder Advisory Votes on Named Executive Officer Compensation

Annually, we offer stockholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on our executive compensation program (commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” vote). At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to which this proxy statement relates, we will be conducting a non-binding stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. See Proposal No. 2 in this proxy statement.

We value the opinions of our stockholders. Our board of directors and the compensation committee will consider the outcome of the Say-on-Pay vote, as well as feedback received throughout the year, when making compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

Results of Stockholder Advisory Vote on June 6, 2024

At our annual meeting held on June 6, 2024, approximately 95.3% (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) of the votes were in favor of the Say-on-Pay proposal covering our executive compensation program last year. Although a majority of stockholders expressed support for the compensation of our named executive officers, the compensation committee values any additional stockholder feedback and endeavors to respond to stockholders’ concerns. Additionally, the compensation committee obtains feedback, advice, and recommendations on compensation best practices from its independent external compensation consultant, Aon, and assesses the reports and publications of proxy advisory firms. The compensation committee also reviews our performance, the compensation practices of our peers, and compensation surveys and other materials regarding general and executive compensation.

Executive Pay Philosophy

The overall objectives of the compensation committee in designing our executive compensation programs are to:

The compensation committee uses a comparative framework to define specific peer companies and data sources to be used as one factor in its assessment of executive compensation, as follows:

In determining compensation for the named executive officers, the compensation committee considers the above percentiles in peer group range for similarly situated positions, among other factors described below under “Compensation Setting Process”, in setting compensation amounts in light of the highly competitive labor market in which the company operates and the industry experience of each of the Named Executive Officers. The above 50th percentile compensation targets also consider that these executives are highly sought after given their long tenure and industry knowledge, and thus retention is a paramount consideration of the compensation committee when determining not only total compensation but the compensation mix.

The compensation committee recommends and the independent members of the Board grant equity-based awards, currently in the form of stock options, to our executive officers and other key employees on an annual grant cycle in March of each year and may make off cycle awards from time to time on an as-needed basis such as for promotions or retention. The company does not time the disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation, and it is the Board’s and the compensation committee’s practice to generally avoid granting equity awards during periods in which there is undisclosed material non-public information about the company.

Compensation-Setting Process

Role of the Compensation Committee

The compensation committee, among its other responsibilities, establishes our executive pay philosophy, provides oversight of our compensation policies, and reviews and approves our executive compensation program, including the specific compensation of our named executive officers. The compensation committee has the authority to retain special counsel and other advisors, including compensation consultants, to assist in carrying out its responsibilities to determine the compensation of our executives. The compensation committee’s authority, duties, and responsibilities are described in its charter, which is reviewed regularly and revised and updated as warranted. A copy of the compensation committee charter is available on our investor relations website at https://investors.rxsight.com/corporate-governance/governance-overview (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing contained on our investor relations website is incorporated by reference in this proxy statement).

While the compensation committee determines our overall compensation philosophy and approves the compensation of our executives, it relies on its compensation consultant and legal counsel, as well as our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, and our Vice President, Human Resources, to formulate recommendations with respect to specific compensation actions. The compensation committee recommends to the independent members of the board of directors, and the independent members of the board of directors approve, all final decisions regarding compensation, including base salary levels, target annual bonus opportunities, actual bonus payments, and long-term incentives in the form of equity awards. The compensation of our Chief Executive Officer is additionally reviewed and approved by the compensation committee and the full board of directors without his participation. The compensation committee meets on a regularly scheduled basis and at other times as needed. The compensation committee periodically reviews compensation matters with our board of directors.

At the beginning of each year, the compensation committee reviews our executive compensation program, including any incentive compensation plans and arrangements, to assess whether our compensation elements, actions, and decisions are (i) properly coordinated, (ii) aligned with our vision, mission, values, and corporate goals, (iii) provide appropriate short-term and long-term incentives for our executives, (iv) achieve their intended purposes, and (v) are competitive with the compensation of executives in comparable positions at the companies with which we compete for executive talent. Following this assessment, the compensation committee makes any necessary or appropriate modifications to our existing plans and arrangements or adopts new plans or arrangements.

The factors considered by the compensation committee in determining the compensation of our named executive officers for 2024 included:

The compensation committee did not weight these factors in any predetermined manner, nor did it apply any formulas in making its decisions. The members of the compensation committee considered this information in light of their individual experience, knowledge

of the company, knowledge of each executive officer, knowledge of the competitive market, and business judgment in making their decisions regarding executive compensation and our executive compensation program.

Role of Our Chief Executive Officer and Management

The compensation committee works with members of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President, Human Resources, in determining the compensation of our named executive officers. Our management works with the compensation committee to recommend the structure of the annual bonus plan, and to identify and develop corporate performance objectives for such plan, and to evaluate actual performance against the selected measures. Our Chief Executive Officer also makes recommendations to the compensation committee as described in the following paragraph and is involved in the determination of compensation for executives (other than with respect to the Chief Executive Officer’s own compensation).

At the beginning of each year, Aon develops preliminary recommendations for consideration which are then adjusted, as applicable, by our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, except with respect to his own compensation (other than his request to allocate equity grants from him to the other named executive officers), to account for the company’s historical practices and individual performance. Our Chief Executive Officer reviews the performance of the named executive officers for the previous year and then makes recommendations to the compensation committee for each element of compensation. Using his subjective evaluation of each executive’s performance and taking into consideration historical compensation awards to our executives and named executive officers and our corporate performance during the preceding year, these recommendations include base salary adjustments, target annual bonus opportunities for the subsequent year, actual bonus payments for the previous year, and long-term incentives in the form of equity awards for each of our executives (other than himself). The compensation committee then reviews these recommendations and considers the factors described above and makes recommendations to the board of directors as to the total direct compensation of each executive (other than our Chief Executive Officer), as well as each individual compensation element. While the compensation committee considers our Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations, as well as the competitive market analysis prepared by its compensation consultant, these recommendations and market data serve as only two of several factors in making its decisions with respect to the compensation of our executives. Ultimately, the compensation committee applies its own business judgment and experience to determine the individual compensation elements and amount of each element for our executives and to make recommendations regarding executive compensation to the board of directors. Moreover, no executive participates in the determination of the amounts or elements of his or her own compensation.

Role of the Compensation Consultant

Pursuant to its charter, the compensation committee has the authority to engage its own legal counsel and other advisors, including compensation consultants, as determined in its sole discretion, to assist it in carrying out its responsibilities. The compensation committee makes all determinations regarding the engagement, fees, and services of these advisors, and any such advisor reports directly to the compensation committee.

For fiscal 2024, the compensation committee engaged Aon, a national compensation consulting firm, to provide information, analysis, and other assistance relating to our executive compensation program on an ongoing basis. The nature and scope of the services provided to the compensation committee by Aon were as follows:

Representatives of Aon attend meetings of the compensation committee as requested and also communicate with the compensation committee outside of meetings. Aon reports to the compensation committee rather than to management, although Aon may meet with members of management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President, Human Resources, for purposes of gathering information on proposals that management may make to the compensation committee. During 2024, Aon met with various executives to collect data and obtain management’s perspective on various executive compensation proposals.

The compensation committee may replace its compensation consultant or hire additional advisors at any time. Aon has not provided any other services to us and has received no compensation other than with respect to the services described above. The compensation committee has assessed the independence of Aon taking into account, among other things, the various factors as set forth in Exchange Act Rule 10C-1 and the enhanced independence standards and factors set forth in the applicable listing standards of Nasdaq, and has

concluded that its relationship with Aon and the work of Aon on behalf of the compensation committee has not raised any conflict of interest.

Peer Group Selection

As part of its deliberations, the compensation committee considers competitive market data on executive compensation levels and practices and a related analysis of such data. This data is drawn from a select group of peer companies determined by the compensation committee, as well as compensation survey data. The compensation peer group consists of health care equipment and health care supplies companies that are similar to us in terms of revenue, market capitalization and industry focus. In August 2023, the compensation committee, with the assistance of Aon and input from management, developed and approved the following compensation peer group of 17 publicly traded companies for purposes of understanding the competitive market for executive talent for the purposes of fiscal 2024 compensation decisions:

Relative to the prior year, the following changes were made: (i) Paragon 28, PROCEPT BioRobotics Corporation, Sight Sciences, and Silk Road were added to the peer group and (ii) Cardiovascular Systems, SeaSpine, and ViewRay were removed, either due to acquisition or misalignment with the peer group criteria, as described below.

The companies in this compensation peer group were selected on the basis of their similarity to us in terms of industry and financial characteristics, as determined using the following criteria:

The selection criteria related to market capitalization, revenue, and headcount ranges were increased relative to those used to determine fiscal 2023 compensation decisions to account for our growth.

The competitive data drawn from this compensation peer group is one of several factors that the compensation committee considers in making its decisions with respect to the compensation of our named executive officers. Although the compensation committee does not rely solely on competitive market data to determine any element of compensation or overall compensation, the compensation committee does believe that compensation data is important to assess whether our executive compensation falls within a competitive range against industry norms.

The compensation committee reviews our compensation peer group at least annually and makes adjustments to its composition if warranted, taking into account changes in both our business and the business of the companies in the peer group.

Compensation Elements

In 2024, the three primary elements of our executive compensation program consisted of base salary, annual bonus opportunities, and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options. Our executives also participate in the standard employee benefit plans available to most of our employees. In addition, our executives are eligible for post-employment (severance and change of control) payments and benefits under certain circumstances. Each of these compensation elements is discussed in detail below, including a description of the particular element and how it fits into our overall executive compensation and a discussion of the amounts of compensation paid to our named executive officers in 2024 under each of these elements.

Base Salary

We believe that a competitive base salary is a necessary element of our executive compensation program, so that we can attract and retain a stable management team. Base salaries for our executives are also intended to be competitive with those received by other individuals in similar positions at the companies with which we compete for talent, as well as equitable across the executive team.

Generally, we establish the initial base salaries of our executives through arm’s-length negotiation at the time we hire the individual executive officer, taking into account his or her position, qualifications, experience, prior salary level, and the base salaries of our other executives. Thereafter, the compensation committee reviews the base salaries of our executives annually and makes adjustments to base salaries as it determines to be necessary or appropriate.

In February 2024, the compensation committee reviewed the base salaries of the named executive officers, taking into consideration a competitive market analysis performed by Aon and the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to his own base salary), as well as the other factors described above. Following this review, the compensation committee recommended to the board of directors, and the board of directors approved, increases in the base salaries of our executives at levels that it believed were appropriate to maintain their competitiveness. In the aggregate and before adjustments were made, the base salaries of the named executive officers were generally positioned between the competitive 25th and 50th percentiles, with some percentile variance by executive; and the base salaries for the named executive officers were kept equal consistent with the company’s historical internal approach for Dr. Kurtz’s direct reports. Our practice has been to review base pay in the first quarter with changes effective March 1.

On July 15, 2024, the board of directors and compensation committee jointly approved the appointment of each of Ms. Thunen, Mr. Weinberg and Dr. Goldshleger to the position of Co-President, in addition to each such named executive officer’s then-current position. In connection with these promotions and the increased responsibility of each new position, the board of directors and compensation committee set such named executive officer’s annual base salary at $535,000, effective as of July 15, 2024.

The base salaries of our named executive officers in effect during 2024 and at the end of 2023, as well as the year-over-year increase in base salaries in 2024, were as follows:

* With respect to Ms. Thunen, Mr. Weinberg and Dr. Goldshleger, reflects annual base salary increase to $485,000 as of March 1, 2024, and $535,000 as of July 15, 2024.

The base salaries paid to our named executive officers during 2024 are set forth in the Summary Compensation Table below.

Annual Bonuses

We provide annual bonuses to our named executive officers under the company’s Executive Incentive Compensation Plan based on their meeting of one or more corporate objectives. The performance objectives that the named executive officers must meet change from year to year as market conditions evolve and different priorities are established, but the board of directors, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, selects challenging goals that are only achievable through strong performance. Consistent with our executive pay philosophy, these annual bonuses are intended to help us to deliver a competitive total direct compensation opportunity to our executives. Annual bonuses are not guaranteed and may vary materially from year-to-year.

All of the named executive officers participated in our annual cash incentive compensation program for 2024 (“2024 Bonus Plan”), under which the compensation committee had the authority to select the performance measures and related target levels applicable to the annual bonus opportunities for our named executive officers and other executives. The 2024 Bonus Plan included minimum and maximum achievement levels for purposes of determining bonus payouts under its formula. See “Corporate Performance in Fiscal 2024 and Payouts” below for specific objectives, targets, thresholds and weightings related to the 2024 Bonus Plan.

Under the 2024 Bonus Plan, the compensation committee could, in its sole discretion and at any time, increase, reduce, or eliminate a participant’s actual bonus payment, and/or increase, reduce, or eliminate the amount allocated to the bonus pool for the year. Further, the actual bonus payment could be below, at, or above a participant’s target bonus opportunity, in the compensation committee’s sole discretion. The compensation committee could determine the amount of any reduction or increase on the basis of such factors as it deemed relevant, and it was not required to establish any allocation or weighting with respect to the factors it considers.

Target Bonus Opportunities

In February 2024, as part of its annual review of our executive compensation program, the compensation committee reviewed the target annual bonus opportunities for our named executive officers, taking into consideration a competitive market analysis prepared by its compensation consultant and the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to his own target bonus opportunity), as well as factors described in “Compensation-Setting Process” above. Following this review, the board of directors, upon the recommendation of the compensation committees, determined the target annual bonus opportunities for each of our named executive officers under the 2024 Bonus Plan. The target for Dr. Kurtz was increased from 90% to 100% of his base salary in order, in part, to generally align his total cash compensation package with our peer companies and account for his current scope of responsibilities. The target bonus opportunity as a percent of salary for our other named executive officers was not changed. The target bonus opportunities, expressed as a percentage of the respective named executive officers’ annual base salaries in effect at the end of the year, were as follows:

In aggregate, the target bonus opportunities for the named executive officers were positioned within a range that the compensation committee viewed as competitive. Additionally, the target bonus opportunities for the named executive officers other than Dr. Kurtz were kept equal, consistent with the company’s historical internal equity-based approach for Dr. Kurtz’s direct reports.

Corporate Performance in Fiscal 2024 and Payouts

The compensation committee set annual targets for fiscal 2024, based on operational and financial measures, that the compensation committee and management deemed rigorous, yet possible, to attain. The annual targets were allocated to one of three categories: delighted customers, motivated employees, and shareholder satisfaction. The compensation committee believed that these metrics were highly linked to creating both short and long-term value to stockholders. The committee applied business judgement in setting these objectives and related targets, thresholds, and weightings.

For purposes of the 2024 Bonus Plan:

The operational performance levels for our annual bonus plan are not disclosed because we believe it would be competitively harmful to do so, as it would provide competitors insight into our strategic and financial planning processes. Specifically, performance against set objectives included the following metrics:

In February 2025, based on the assessment of our performance against these objectives, the board of directors, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, determined to award bonuses to our named executive officers pursuant to the 2024 Bonus Plan and approved bonus payouts of 112% of target for our named executive officers. Awards were determined based on objectives and related targets, thresholds, and weightings set in February 2024, which included a potential payout range of 25% of target (minimum payout) to 150% of target (maximum payout). No adjustments were made to performance targets established in February 2024. There was also no discretion applied.

The following table sets forth the target annual bonus opportunities and the actual bonus payments made to our named executive officers for 2024:

The annual bonuses paid to our named executive officers for 2024 are set forth in the Summary Compensation Table below.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

We use long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards to motivate our named executive officers by providing them with the opportunity to build an equity interest in our company and to share in the potential appreciation of the value of our common stock. In general, the compensation committee views equity awards as inherently variable since the grant date fair value of these awards may not necessarily be indicative of their value when, and if, the shares of our common stock underlying these awards are ever earned or purchased. The compensation committee further believes that equity awards enable us to attract and retain key talent in our industry and aligns our executives’ interests with the long-term interests of our stockholders. While peer group practices indicate that granting full-value shares is common, the compensation committee’s and management’s preferred approach is to grant executive officer equity 100% in stock options to ensure alignment between shareholder and management interests and rewards.

Generally, in determining the size of the equity awards granted to our executives, the compensation committee takes into consideration the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer, except with respect to his own equity award (other than his request to allocate a portion of his equity award from him to other named executive officers), as well as the factors described above. The compensation committee also considers the dilutive effect of our long-term incentive compensation practices, and the overall impact that these equity awards, as well as awards to other employees, will have on stockholder value.

In February 2024, in recognition of our financial and operational results and each named executive officer’s individual performance, the board of directors, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, approved the grant of stock options to our named executive officers, effective March 4, 2024 (the third trading day following the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024). In determining the size of each named executive officer’s equity award, the compensation committee took into consideration the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer, except with respect to his own equity award (other than his request to allocate a portion of his equity award from him to other named executive officers), as well as the factors described above. The compensation committee also considered the existing equity holdings of each executive officer, including the current economic value of their unvested equity awards and the ability of these unvested holdings to satisfy our retention objectives.

Further, the compensation committee considered the substantial increase in the company’s stock price from December 2023 to February 2024 (93%) in determining the size of such stock option awards by using a fixed $35.00 share price for purposes of estimating grant date fair value. The $35.00 share price was approximately in the middle of the 30-day average share price of $24.28, as initially presented to the compensation committee in December 2023, and the 30-day average share price of $46.89 measured over the 30-day period ending February 15, 2024. Historically, the company has used a 30-day average share price as of a date close to the approval date to determine the value of a stock option; and the number of shares subject to stock options to be awarded to a particular named executive officer is determined by dividing (x) the target aggregate value for the equity award by (y) the grant date fair value per one share subject to a stock option. In determining to use a fixed $35.00 share price to calculate the number of shares subject to

stock options to be awarded to the named executive officers, the compensation committee considered the following: (i) relative to the 30-day average share price reviewed by the compensation committee in December 2023, the number of shares subject to stock options granted to each named executive officer would be reduced by approximately 30%, as compared to a 48% reduction if the 30-day average share price ended February 15, 2024 were used; (ii) in the aggregate, target total compensation for the executive team would be positioned 15% above the competitive 75th percentile; and (iii) Chief Executive Officer compensation would be positioned at 2% below the competitive 65th percentile.

The stock options granted to our named executive officers on March 4, 2024 are shown in the table below.

On July 15, 2024, the board of directors and compensation committee jointly approved the appointment of each of Ms. Thunen, Mr. Weinberg and Dr. Goldshleger to the position of Co-President, in addition to each such named executive officer’s then-current position. In connection with these promotions and the increased responsibility of each new position, the board of directors and compensation committee also approved the grant of stock options to Ms. Thunen, Mr. Weinberg and Dr. Goldshleger, with each such stock option covering 50,000 shares. The board of directors and compensation committee determined the size of the promotion stock options based on increased responsibility and to retain talented and experienced executive officers who are motivated to achieve or exceed our short-term and long-term corporate goals.

The stock options granted to our named executive officers in 2024 were subject to a time-based vesting requirement providing that these options are to vest over a four-year period, with 1/48th of the total number of shares of our common stock subject to an option vesting on the date that is one month following the vesting commencement date and 1/48th of the shares subject to the option vesting each month thereafter, subject to the continued service of the applicable executive on each such vesting date.

Welfare and Health Benefits

We maintain a defined contribution 401(k) retirement savings plan for the benefit of our employees, including our named executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Under the 401(k) plan, eligible employees may elect to defer a portion of their compensation, within the limits prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), on a pre-tax or after-tax (Roth) basis, through contributions to the 401(k) plan. The 401(k) plan is intended to qualify under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, pre-tax contributions to the 401(k) plan and earnings on those pre-tax contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed from the 401(k) plan, and earnings on Roth contributions are not taxable when distributed from the 401(k) plan. We make matching contributions of up to 2% of eligible compensation, contributed by eligible participating employees. Employer matching contributions vest 25% per year over four years. In addition, we provide other benefits to our named executive officers on the same basis as all of our full-time employees. These benefits include health, dental and vision benefits, health and dependent care flexible spending accounts, short-term and long-term disability insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and basic life insurance coverage. We also provide paid time off and other paid holidays to all employees, including our executives, and named executive officers. We do not offer our employees a non-qualified deferred compensation plan or pension plan. We design our employee benefits programs to be affordable and competitive in relation to the market, as well as compliant with applicable laws and practices. We adjust our employee benefits programs as needed based upon regular monitoring of applicable laws and practices, the competitive market, and our employees' needs.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

Currently, we do not view perquisites or other personal benefits as a significant component of our executive compensation program. Accordingly, we do not provide perquisites to our named executive officers, except in situations where we believe it is appropriate to assist an individual in the performance of his or her duties, to make our executives more efficient and effective, and for recruitment

and retention purposes. In the future, we may provide perquisites or other personal benefits to our executives in limited circumstances, such as where we believe it is appropriate to assist an individual executive officer in the performance of his or her duties, to make our executives more efficient and effective, and for recruitment, motivation or retention purposes. We do not expect that these perquisites or other personal benefits will be a significant aspect of our executive compensation program. All future practices with respect to perquisites or other personal benefits will be approved and subject to periodic review by the compensation committee.

Executive Officer Change in Control and Severance Agreements

We entered into a change in control and severance agreement, effective as of July 16, 2021, with each of Dr. Kurtz, Ms. Thunen, Mr. Weinberg and Dr. Goldshleger. Each change in control and severance agreement was approved by our board of directors in July 2021. Pursuant to each applicable named executive officer’s severance agreement, if, within the change in control period beginning on the date a letter of intent or similar agreement is made between us and an acquiror, provided such date occurs no earlier than nine months prior to a “change in control” (as defined in the applicable agreement), and ending 12 months following a change in control, we terminate the employment of the named executive officer without “cause” or the executive resigns for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the applicable agreement), and within 60 days following such termination, the named executive officer executes a waiver and release of claims in our favor that becomes effective and irrevocable, the named executive officer will be entitled to receive:

Pursuant to each applicable named executive officer’s severance agreement, if, outside of the change in control period, we terminate the employment of the named executive officer without cause (excluding death or disability) or the executive resigns for good reason, and within 60 days following such termination, the named executive officer executes a waiver and release of claims in our favor that becomes effective and irrevocable, the named executive officer will be entitled to receive:

Pursuant to each applicable named executive officer’s severance agreement, if we experience a change in control, and the named executive officer remains our employee through the date of such change in control, 100% of the then-unvested shares subject to the named executive officer’s then outstanding equity awards will accelerate and fully vest (and in the case of awards with performance vesting, unless the applicable award agreement governing such award provides otherwise, all performance goals and other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at target levels of achievement).

Pursuant to each applicable named executive officer’s severance agreement, in the event any payment to an executive would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (as a result of a payment being classified as a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code), the executive will receive such payment as would entitle the executive to receive the greatest after-tax benefit, even if it means that we pay the executive a lower aggregate payment so as to minimize or eliminate the potential excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

Other Compensation Policies

Prohibition of Hedging and Pledging Securities

Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits the members of our board of directors and all employees, including our named executive officers, from, directly or indirectly, (a) trading in publicly-traded options, such as puts and calls, and other derivative securities with respect to our securities (other than stock options, restricted stock units and other compensatory awards issued to them by us) or (b) purchasing financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds), or otherwise engage in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our equity securities either (i) granted to them by us or (ii) held, directly or indirectly, by them.

Our Insider Trading Policy also prohibits the members of our board of directors and all employees, including our named executive officers, from pledging our securities as collateral for any loan or as part of any other pledging transaction.

Clawback Policy

In accordance with SEC and Nasdaq requirements, in November 2023, the board of directors, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy which is intended to further our pay-for-performance philosophy and to comply with applicable laws by providing rules relating to the reasonably prompt recovery of certain incentive-based compensation received by current or former executive officers in the event of an accounting restatement. The application of the policy to such executives is not discretionary (with limited exceptions), and applies whether any such executive was at fault.

Compensation Risk Assessment

The compensation committee has reviewed the concept of risk as it relates to our compensation programs and believes that risks arising from our compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. The compensation committee believes that our compensation programs do not foster undue risk-taking, because they focus on performance of company-wide annual goals that are aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders and they include risk control and mitigation factors.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Under Section 162(m) of the Code, compensation paid to our covered executive officers (including our Chief Executive Officer), except for certain grandfathered arrangements and certain compensation paid pursuant to a compensation plan in existence before the effective date of our IPO, will not be deductible to the extent it exceeds $1,000,000. In fiscal 2024, the compensation committee considered the potential future effects of Section 162(m) when determining named executive officer compensation and the compensation committee is expected to consider the potential future effects of Section 162(m) when determining future named executive officer compensation. While the compensation committee considers the deductibility of awards as one factor in determining executive compensation, the compensation committee also looks at other factors in making its decisions, as noted above, and retains

the flexibility to award compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program even if the awards are not deductible by us for tax purposes, and to modify compensation that was initially intended to be tax deductible if it determines such modifications are consistent with our business needs.

Taxation of “Parachute” Payments

Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code provide that executive officers and directors who hold significant equity interests and certain other service providers may be subject to additional taxes if they receive payments or benefits in connection with a change in control of our company that exceeds certain prescribed limits, and that we (or a successor) may forfeit a deduction on the amounts subject to this additional tax. We did not provide any executive officer, including any named executive officer, with a “gross-up” or other reimbursement payment for any tax liability that he or she might owe as a result of the application of Sections 280G or 4999 during 2024 and we have not agreed and are not otherwise obligated to provide any executive officers, including any named executive officer, with such a “gross-up” or other reimbursement payment.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The compensation committee takes accounting considerations into account in designing compensation plans and arrangements for our executive officers and other employees. Chief among these is Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (“ASC Topic 718”), the standard which governs the accounting treatment of stock-based compensation awards.

ASC Topic 718 requires us to recognize in our financial statements all share-based payment awards to employees, including grants of options to purchase shares of our common stock to our named executive officers, based on their fair values. The application of ASC Topic 718 involves significant amounts of judgment in the determination of inputs into the Black Scholes option pricing model that we use to determine the fair value of stock options. These inputs are based upon assumptions as to the volatility of the underlying stock, risk free interest rates, and the expected life (term) of the options. As required under GAAP, we review our valuation assumptions at each grant date, and, as a result, our valuation assumptions used to value stock options granted in future periods may vary from the valuation assumptions we have used previously.

ASC Topic 718 also requires us to recognize the compensation cost of our share-based payment awards in our income statement over the period that an employee, including our executive officers, is required to render service in exchange for the award (which, generally, will correspond to the award’s vesting schedule).
