PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE
2021 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Why are you holding a virtual Annual Meeting?
The safety of our stockholders is important to us and given the current guidance by public health officials surrounding
COVID-19 and group gatherings, this years Annual Meeting will be a virtual meeting of stockholders. We have implemented the virtual format in order to facilitate stockholder attendance at our
Annual Meeting. We have designed our virtual format to enhance, rather than constrain, stockholder access, participation and communication. For example, the virtual format allows stockholders to communicate with us in advance of, and during, the
Annual Meeting so they can ask questions of our board of directors or management.
How do I attend and participate in the Annual Meeting online?
To attend and participate in the Annual Meeting, stockholders will need to access the live audio webcast of the meeting. To do so, stockholders of
record will need to visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FMTX2021 and use their control number provided in the proxy card to preregister to this website, and beneficial owners of shares held in street name will need to follow the same
instructions. Registration will open 15 minutes prior to the meeting.
The live audio webcast of the Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 2 p.m. Eastern
Time.
How can I get help if I have trouble checking in or listening to the meeting online?
There will be a support number available on the login page of the virtual meeting 15 minutes before the meeting begins for any shareholders having technical
difficulties. The technical support line will not be able to provide control numbers, but will be able to assist with any technical issues.
