NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON JANUARY 31, 2025

Dear Stockholder:

Notice is hereby given that a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Tivic Health Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), will be held on Friday, January 31, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Standard Time. We have adopted a virtual format for our Special Meeting to provide a consistent and convenient experience to all stockholders regardless of location. You may attend the Special Meeting virtually via the Internet atwww.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TIVC2025SM, where you will be able to vote electronically and submit questions. You may also attend the Special Meeting and submit your vote by proxy ahead of the Special Meeting through the designated website. For further information, please see the Questions and Answers about the Special Meeting beginning on the first page of the accompanying Proxy Statement. The purposes of the Special Meeting are as follows:

Our Board has carefully reviewed and considered the foregoing proposals, and has concluded that each proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Therefore, our Board has approved each proposal and recommends that you vote “FOR” each of Proposals 1 and 2. These proposals are more fully described in the Proxy Statement accompanying this Notice. Action may be taken on any one of the foregoing proposals at the Special Meeting on the date specified above or on any date or dates to which the Special Meeting may be postponed or adjourned. We do not expect to transact any other business at the Special Meeting.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on December 20, 2024, as the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting. Accordingly, only stockholders of record at the close of business on that date will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. A list of the stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 20, 2024, will be available for inspection by any of our stockholders for any purpose germane to the Special Meeting during normal business hours at our principal executive offices, located at 47685 Lakeview Blvd., Fremont, CA 94538, beginning ten days before the Special Meeting through the date of the Special Meeting.

On or about January 3, 2025, we are mailing this Notice, along with the accompanying Proxy Statement and proxy card, to each of our stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting. Accompanying this Notice is the Proxy Statement and a proxy card that includes voting instructions. Whether or not you expect to attend our Special Meeting, please read these materials carefully, complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly, or complete and submit your proxy via phone or the internet in accordance with the instructions provided on the enclosed proxy card.

i

We cordially invite you to virtually attend the Special Meeting. Your vote is important, no matter how large or small your holdings in the Company may be. If you do not expect to be present at the Special Meeting virtually, you are urged to promptly complete, date, sign, and return the proxy card you receive or to submit your vote using another method included in the proxy card you receive in the mail. If you hold your shares beneficially in street name through a nominee, you should follow the instructions you receive from your nominee to vote these shares. Please review the instructions on each of your voting options described in the enclosed Proxy Statement as well as in enclosed proxy card that you receive in the mail. This will not limit your right to virtually attend or vote at the Special Meeting, but will help to secure a quorum and avoid added solicitation costs. You may revoke your proxy at any time before it has been voted at the Special Meeting.

Even if you plan to attend the virtual Special Meeting, we request that you submit a proxy by following the instructions provided in the enclosed proxy card you receive in the mail as soon as possible in order to ensure that your shares will be represented at the Special Meeting if you are unable to attend.

By order of the Board of Directors,
