NOTICE OF 2025 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To be held June 5, 2025
Notice is hereby given that the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, (the “Annual Meeting”), of Pliant Therapeutics, Inc. will be held on Thursday, June 5, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time. The meeting will be held in a virtual format. Stockholders may attend the virtual Annual Meeting by visitingwww.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PLRX2025. To join the Annual Meeting, you will need to have your 16-digit control number, which is included on your proxy materials. The purpose of the Annual Meeting is the following:
| 1 | To elect three class II directors named in this proxy statement to our board of directors; |
| 2 | To approve, by non-binding advisory vote, the resolution approving Named Executive Officer compensation; |
| 3 | To approve an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“certificate of incorporation”) to limit the liability of certain officers of Pliant Therapeutics, Inc. as permitted by Delaware law; |
| 4 | To ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025; and |
| 5 | To transact any other business properly brought before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting. |
Only Pliant Therapeutics, Inc. stockholders of record at the close of business on April 9, 2025 will be entitled to vote during the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.
We are mailing to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) instead of a paper copy of our proxy materials and our 2024 Annual Report to Stockholders (the “2024 Annual Report”). The Notice contains instructions on how to access those documents and to cast your vote via the Internet. The Notice also contains instructions on how to request a paper copy of our proxy materials and our 2024 Annual Report. This process allows us to provide our stockholders with necessary information on a more timely basis, while reducing the environmental impact and lowering the costs of printing and distributing our proxy materials.
Your vote is important. Whether or not you are able to attend the virtual Annual Meeting, it is important that your shares be represented. To ensure that your vote is recorded promptly, please vote as soon as possible, even if you plan to attend the virtual Annual Meeting. You may vote by submitting your proxy via the Internet, by telephone, or by mail (if you received paper copies of the proxy materials) by following the instructions on the proxy card or voting instruction card. Voting over the Internet or by telephone, written proxy or voting instruction card will ensure your representation at the virtual Annual Meeting regardless of whether you attend.
On behalf of the board of directors, thank you for your participation in this important annual process.
By order of the board of directors,
Mike Ouimette
