Dear Stockholder:
We are pleased to invite you to attend the special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Vor Biopharma Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Vor Bio” or the “Company”). The Special Meeting will be held solely virtually, via live audio webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/VOR2025SM originating from Cambridge, Massachusetts, on August 25, 2025 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time. You will not be able to attend the Special Meeting in person. The logistics of the virtual meeting are discussed more fully in the attached Proxy Statement. The Special Meeting will be held for the following purposes:
| 1. | To approve, for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the full issuance of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”), issuable by the Company upon exercise of the Warrants (as defined in the Proxy Statement) (the “Issuance Proposal”); |
| 2. | To approve a series of alternate amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to effect, at the option of our board of directors (the “Board”), a reverse stock split of our common stock into a lesser number of outstanding shares at a ratio in the range of 1-for-5 to 1-for-30, inclusive, with such ratio to be determined by our Board in its sole discretion (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”); |
| 3. | To approve the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to, among other things, (i) increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 25,000,000 shares and (ii) decrease the number of shares that will automatically be added to the share reserve thereunder on January 1 of each calendar year from five percent (5%) to four percent (4%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year through and including calendar year 2035 (the “Equity Plan Proposal”); and |
| 4. | To conduct any other business properly brought before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. |
These items of business are more fully described in the Proxy Statement accompanying this notice. The record date for the Special Meeting is July 28, 2025. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on that date are entitled to notice of and may vote at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
Your vote is extremely important, regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we ask that you promptly sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in the envelope provided, or submit your proxy by telephone or over the internet (if those options are available to you) in accordance with the instructions on the enclosed proxy card. If your shares of common stock are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or other nominee, you should instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares of common stock using the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee.
