Election of Directors
On April 10, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Oklo Inc. (the “Company”) approved an increase in the size of the Board to eleven directors and appointed David Christian, Derek Kan, David Park, and Dr. Mark Peters to serve as directors. Messrs. Kan and Park were appointed as Class I directors, Dr. Peters was appointed as a Class II director, and Mr. Christian was appointed as a Class III director, in each case to serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal.
There is no arrangement or understanding pursuant to which any of Messrs. Christian, Kan, Park, and Peters were appointed to the Board. The Board has determined that each of Messrs.
