NOTICE OF THE 2025 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON JUNE 30, 2025

Dear Stockholder:

Notice is hereby given that the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Tivic Health Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), will be held on Monday, June 30, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time. We have adopted a virtual format for our Annual Meeting to provide a consistent and convenient experience to all stockholders regardless of location. You may attend the Annual Meeting virtually via the Internet at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TIVC2025, where you will be able to vote electronically and submit questions for management’s consideration. You may also attend the Annual Meeting and submit your vote by proxy and may submit questions ahead of the Annual Meeting through the designated website. For further information, please see the Questions and Answers about these Proxy Materials and Voting beginning on the first page of the accompanying Proxy Statement. The purposes of the Annual Meeting are as follows:

i

Our Board of Directors (the “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” the Class I director nominee and “For” each of Proposals 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. 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 Annual Meeting on the date specified above or on any date or dates to which the meeting may be postponed or adjourned. We do not expect to transact any other business at the Annual Meeting.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on May 14, 2025 (the “Record Date”) as the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Holders of outstanding shares of our Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote on any of the matters to be presented to our stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, only stockholders of record of shares of our common stock as of the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. A list of the stockholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date will be available for inspection by our stockholders for any purpose germane to the Annual Meeting during normal business hours at our principal executive offices, located at 47685 Lakeview Blvd., Fremont, California 94538, beginning ten days before the Annual Meeting through the date of the Annual Meeting.

On or about June 2, 2025, we are mailing this Notice, along with the accompanying Proxy Statement, proxy card and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, to each of our stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Accompanying this Notice is the Proxy Statement and a proxy card that includes voting instructions. Whether or not you expect to attend our Annual 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.

We cordially invite you to virtually attend the Annual 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 Annual Meeting virtually, you are urged to promptly complete, date, sign, and return the enclosed proxy card 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 your shares. Please review the instructions on each of your voting options described in the enclosed Proxy Statement as well as in the enclosed proxy card. This will not limit your right to virtually attend or vote at the Annual 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 Annual Meeting.

Even if you plan to attend the virtual Annual 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 Annual Meeting if you are unable to attend.

By order of the Board of Directors,

/s/ Sheryle Bolton
