EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amended Form 8-K”) amends Item 5.07 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Fate Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 30, 2025 (the “Original Form 8-K”). Item 5.07 of the Original Form 8-K reported the results of the matters submitted for stockholder action at the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders held on May 29, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amended Form 8-K is to disclose, in accordance with Item 5.07(d) of Form 8-K, the Company’s decision as to the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. Except as set forth herein, no other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

At the 2025 Annual Meeting, consistent with the recommendation of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), the Company’s stockholders approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, to hold future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every one year. In light of these results, the Board has determined to hold future non-binding advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers annually until the next advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, which is required to occur no later than the Company’s 2031 annual meeting of stockholders.
