To Our Stockholders:
You are cordially invited to attend the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders of ArriVent BioPharma, Inc. to be held at 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time on Wednesday, June 18, 2025. We have decided to hold this year’s annual meeting virtually via live audio webcast on the internet. We believe hosting a virtual annual meeting enables greater stockholder attendance and participation from any location around the world, improves meeting efficiency and our ability to communicate effectively with our stockholders, and reduces the cost and environmental impact of our annual meeting. You will be able to attend the annual meeting, vote and submit your questions during the annual meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AVBP2025. You will not be able to attend the annual meeting in person.
Details regarding the meeting, the business to be conducted at the meeting, and information about ArriVent BioPharma, Inc. that you should consider when you vote your shares are described in the accompanying proxy statement.
At the annual meeting, two persons will be elected to our board of directors. In addition, we will ask stockholders to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The board of directors recommends the approval of each of these proposals. Such other business will be transacted as may properly come before the annual meeting.
Under Securities and Exchange Commission rules that allow companies to furnish proxy materials to stockholders over the Internet, we have elected to deliver our proxy materials to the majority of our stockholders over the Internet. This delivery process allows us to provide stockholders with the information they need, while at the same time conserving natural resources and lowering the cost of delivery. On April 28, 2025, we intend to begin sending to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Internet Availability Notice”) containing instructions on how to access our proxy statement for our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and our 2024 annual report to stockholders. The Internet Availability Notice also provides instructions on how to vote online or by telephone, how to access the virtual annual meeting and how to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail.
We hope you will be able to attend the annual meeting. Whether you plan to attend the annual meeting or not, it is important that you cast your vote either in person or by proxy. You may vote over the Internet as well as by telephone or by mail. When you have finished reading the proxy statement, you are urged to vote in accordance with the instructions set forth in the proxy statement. We encourage you to vote by proxy so that your shares will be represented and voted at the meeting, whether or not you can attend.
Thank you for your continued support of ArriVent BioPharma, Inc.
Sincerely,
Zhengbin (Bing) Yao, Ph.D.
