Fellow Stockholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to invite you to attend our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of NeoGenomics, Inc., which will be held on Thursday, May 23, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time (the "2024 Annual Meeting"). The 2024 Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting conducted via live webcast.

Details regarding the 2024 Annual Meeting and the business to be conducted are described in the accompanying Proxy Statement. In addition to considering the matters described in the Proxy Statement, we will report on matters of interest to our stockholders.

We are pleased to inform you that instead of a paper or electronic copy of our proxy materials, most of our stockholders will be mailed a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice of Internet Availability”) on or about April 8, 2024. The Notice of Internet Availability contains instructions on how to access proxy materials and how to submit your proxy over the Internet. The Notice of Internet Availability also contains instructions on how to request a paper copy of our proxy materials, if desired. All stockholders who do not receive a Notice of Internet Availability, or who have not consented to receive their proxy materials electronically by email, will be mailed a paper copy of the proxy materials. Furnishing proxy materials over the Internet allows us to provide our stockholders with the information they need in a timely manner, while reducing the environmental impact and lowering the costs of printing and distributing our proxy materials.

Your vote is important to us. Please act as soon as possible to vote your shares. It is important that your shares be represented at the 2024 Annual Meeting whether or not you plan to attend the live webcast of the 2024 Annual Meeting. Please vote electronically over the Internet, by telephone, or, if you receive a paper copy of the proxy card by mail, by returning your signed proxy card in the envelope provided. You may also vote your shares online during the 2024 Annual Meeting. Instructions on how to vote while participating at the 2024 Annual Meeting live via the Internet are posted at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/NEO2024.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and management, we thank you for your continued support and confidence in NeoGenomics, Inc.
