To Our Stockholders:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (Annual Meeting) of Nurix Therapeutics, Inc. (Nurix) is scheduled to be held on Monday, May 20, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. (Pacific Time). The meeting will be held as a virtual meeting only, via live audio webcast. You will not be able to attend the meeting in person. We believe that hosting a “virtual meeting” will enable greater stockholder attendance and participation from any location around the world.

You will be able to participate in and vote during the meeting by joining the live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/NRIX2024 on Monday, May 20, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. (Pacific Time). It is important that you retain a copy of the control number found on the proxy card or voting instruction form, as such number will be required in order for stockholders to gain access to the virtual meeting.

We are holding the meeting for the following purposes, which are more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement:

In addition, stockholders may be asked to consider and vote upon such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on March 21, 2024, are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the meeting and any adjournments thereof.

The Notice of Internet Availability also provides instructions on how to vote through the internet or by telephone and includes instructions on how to receive paper copies of the proxy materials by mail, if desired.

For ten days prior to the meeting, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting will be available upon request by any stockholder for any purpose relating to the meeting. Stockholders can request the list of stockholders through our investor relations website at ir.nurixtx.com/shareholder-resources/contact-ir.

Your vote as a Nurix stockholder is very important. Each share of common stock that you own represents one vote.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the virtual Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 20, 2024: the Proxy Statement and our Annual Report are available at http://www.proxyvote.com. You will need the control number included on your proxy card or voting instruction form, or included in the e-mail to you if you received the proxy materials by e-mail, as such number will be required in order for stockholders to gain access to the virtual meeting.

The accompanying proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of Nurix Therapeutics, Inc. (Nurix, the company, we, us, or our) for use at Nurix’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (Annual Meeting) to be held via a virtual meeting. You will be able to participate in the Annual Meeting and vote during the Annual Meeting via live webcast by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/NRIX2024 on Monday, May 20, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. (Pacific Time), and any adjournment or postponement thereof. You will need the control number included on your proxy card or voting instruction form, or included in the e-mail to you if you received the proxy materials by e-mail, as such number will be required in order for stockholders to gain access to the virtual meeting.

We are making this proxy statement and the accompanying form of proxy and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023 (Annual Report), first available to stockholders on or about March 27, 2024. An electronic copy of this proxy statement and Annual Report are available at http://www.proxyvote.com.

Under rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), we are furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders primarily via the Internet, instead of mailing printed copies to each stockholder. On or about March 27, 2024, we expect to send to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the Notice of Internet Availability) containing instructions on how to access our proxy materials, including our proxy statement and our Annual Report. The Notice of Internet Availability also provides instructions on how to vote and includes instructions on how to receive paper copies of the proxy materials by mail, or an electronic copy of the proxy materials by email.

This process is designed to reduce our environmental impact and lower the costs of printing and distributing our proxy materials while providing our stockholders timely access to this important information. If you would prefer to receive printed proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability.

At the meeting, stockholders will act upon the proposals described in this proxy statement. In addition, we will consider any other matters that are properly presented for a vote at the meeting. We are not aware of any other matters to be submitted for consideration at the meeting. If any other matters are properly presented for a vote at the meeting, the persons named in the proxy, who are officers of the company, have the authority in their discretion to vote the shares represented by the proxy.

Only holders of record of Nurix common stock at the close of business on March 21, 2024, the record date, will be entitled to vote at the meeting. At the close of business on March 21, 2024, a total of 49,150,794 shares of Nurix common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote.

The holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting as of the record date must be present or represented by proxy at the meeting in order to hold the meeting and conduct business. This presence is called a quorum. Your shares are counted as present at the meeting if you are present and vote online at the virtual meeting or if you have properly submitted a proxy. Abstentions, withhold votes, and broker non-votes are counted as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.

Each holder of shares of Nurix common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held as of the close of business on March 21, 2024, the record date. You may vote all shares owned by you at such date, including (1) shares held directly in your name as the stockholder of record and (2) shares held for you as the beneficial owner in street name through a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee. Dissenters’ rights are not applicable to any of the matters being voted on.

If on March 21, 2024, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, then you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As a stockholder of record, you may vote at the meeting, or vote in advance through the internet or by telephone, or if you request to receive paper proxy materials by mail, by filling out and returning the proxy card.

If on March 21, 2024, your shares were held in an account with a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of the shares held in street name. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your nominee on how to vote the shares held in your account, and your nominee has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing it on how to vote your shares. However, the organization that holds your shares is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. Because you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from the organization that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.

Each director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, which means that the two individuals nominated for election to our Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected. You may vote “FOR ALL,” “WITHHOLD ALL,” or vote “FOR ALL EXCEPT” one or more of the nominees you specify. You may not cumulate votes in the election of directors. Ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2024, will be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock entitled to vote on the matter that are present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and are voted either “FOR” or “AGAINST” the proposal. Approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers will be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock entitled to vote on the matter that are present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and are voted either “FOR” or “AGAINST” the proposal.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR ALL” nominees for the election of the Class I directors named in this proxy statement (Proposal 1); “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2024 (Proposal 2); and “FOR” the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement (Proposal 3).

None of the directors or executive officers has any substantial interest in any matter to be acted upon, other than Proposal 3 and elections to office with respect to the directors so nominated in Proposal 1.

Abstentions occur when shares present at the Annual Meeting are marked “Abstain.” Under Delaware law, abstentions are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present but are voted neither “for” or “against” a matter, and therefore, at the Annual Meeting, abstentions will have no effect on Proposals 1, 2 or 3.

A proxy submitted by a stockholder may indicate that the shares represented by the proxy are not being voted (stockholder withholding) with respect to a particular matter. In addition, a broker may not be permitted to vote on shares held in street name on a particular matter in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owner of the stock (broker non-vote). These broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted because the broker did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and lacked discretionary authority to vote the shares. The shares subject to a proxy which are not being voted on a particular matter because of either stockholder withholding or broker non-votes will count for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but are not treated as votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect on Proposals 1, 2 or 3.

Brokers have limited discretionary authority to vote shares that are beneficially owned. While a broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on “routine” matters without instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares, absent instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on “non-routine” matters. At our Annual Meeting, only Proposal 2 is considered a routine matter and brokers have discretionary authority to vote shares that are beneficially owned on Proposal 2. If a broker chooses not to vote shares for or against Proposal 2, it will have no effect because it will not be treated as a vote cast for or against the matter. The other proposals presented at the Annual Meeting, Proposals 1 and 3, are non-routine matters and therefore broker non-votes will have no effect on the matters voted upon.

If you hold your shares in street name, it is critical that you cast your vote if you want it to count on all matters to be decided at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a stockholder of record, you may:

Votes submitted through the internet or by telephone must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 19, 2024. Submitting your proxy, whether by telephone, through the internet or by mail if you requested or received a paper proxy card, will not affect your right to vote online should you decide to attend the virtual meeting. If you are not the stockholder of record, please refer to the voting instructions provided by your nominee to direct how to vote your shares.

For Proposal 1, you may vote “FOR ALL,” “WITHHOLD ALL,” or vote “FOR ALL EXCEPT” one or more of the nominees to the Board of Directors you specify. For Proposals 2 and 3, you may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting. Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure that your vote is counted.

All proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions specified on the proxy card. If you sign a physical proxy card and return it without instructions as to how your shares should be voted on a particular proposal at the Annual Meeting, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors stated above.

If you do not vote and you hold your shares in street name, and your broker does not have discretionary power to vote your shares, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes” (as described above) and will not be counted in determining the number of shares necessary for approval of the proposals. However, shares that constitute broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum for the Annual Meeting.

If you receive more than one proxy card, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. To make certain all of your shares are voted, please follow the instructions included on each proxy card and vote each proxy card by telephone, through the internet or by mail. If you requested or received paper proxy materials by mail, please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

We will pay the expenses associated with soliciting proxies. Following the original distribution and mailing of the solicitation materials, we or our agents may solicit proxies by mail, email, telephone, facsimile, by other similar means, or in person. Our directors, officers and other employees, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies personally or in writing, by telephone, email or otherwise. Following the original distribution and mailing of the solicitation materials, we will request brokers, custodians, nominees and other record holders to forward copies of those materials to persons for whom they hold shares and to request authority for the exercise of proxies. In such cases, we, upon the request of the record holders, will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses. If you choose to access the proxy materials and/or vote through the internet, you are responsible for any internet access charges you may incur.

A stockholder of record who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time before the closing of the polls by the inspector of elections at the Annual Meeting by:

Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, and you wish to revoke a proxy, you must contact that firm to revoke or change any prior voting instructions.

Voting results will be tabulated and certified by the inspector of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting. We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will also disclose voting results on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K as soon as they become available.

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements. These reduced reporting requirements include reduced disclosure about the company’s executive compensation arrangements.

We are committed to good corporate governance practices. These practices provide an important framework within which our Board of Directors and management pursue our strategic objectives for the benefit of our stockholders.

Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that set forth expectations for directors, director independence standards, Board committee structure and functions, and other policies for the governance of the company. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are available without charge on the investor relations section of our website at ir.nurixtx.com/corporate-governance/overview.

The positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chair of our Board of Directors are held by two different individuals (currently, Arthur T. Sands and David L. Lacey, respectively; as of the conclusion of the Annual Meeting, Julia P. Gregory will assume the role of Chair of our Board of Directors). This structure allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on our day-to-day business while our Chair leads our Board of Directors in its fundamental role of providing advice to, and independent oversight of, management. We believe Dr. Lacey’s extensive experience both in leading drug discovery and as an advisor to companies in the life sciences industry provides him with the expertise and judgement necessary to effectively oversee our company, our key risks, business strategy and management. Likewise, Ms. Gregory’s industry leadership and expertise in strategy development and implementation, investment banking and business development, make her well-suited to fulfill the duties of our independent Chair. Our Board of Directors believes such separation is appropriate, as it enhances the accountability of the Chief Executive Officer to the Board of Directors and strengthens the independence of the Board of Directors from management.

Our Board of Directors believes that open communication between management and the Board of Directors is essential for effective risk management and oversight. Our Board of Directors meets with our Chief Executive Officer and other members of the senior management team at quarterly Board of Director meetings, where, among other topics, they discuss strategy and risks in the context of reports from the management team and evaluate the risks inherent in significant transactions. While our Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, our Board committees assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in certain areas of risk. The Audit Committee assists our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk management in the areas of major financial risk exposures, internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, legal and regulatory compliance and cybersecurity and data privacy. The Compensation Committee assists our Board of Directors in assessing risks created by the incentives inherent in our compensation policies. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of corporate, legal and regulatory risk. The Development Advisory Committee assists our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to our scientific integrity and clinical research and development strategies, programs and opportunities.

Securing the information of the participants in our clinical trials, employees, partners, and other third parties is important to us. We have adopted physical, technological, and administrative controls on data security, and have a defined procedure for data incident detection, containment, response, and remediation. While everyone at the company plays a part in managing these risks, oversight responsibility is shared by our Board of Directors, our Audit Committee, and management. Our management team provides regular cybersecurity updates in the form of written reports and presentations to our Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee also reviews metrics about cyber threat response preparedness, program maturity milestones, risk mitigation status, and the current and emerging threat landscape. Our Audit Committee reports to our Board of Directors regarding its activities, including those related to key cybersecurity risks, mitigation strategies and ongoing developments. We also maintain information security risk insurance coverage.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. Under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq), independent directors must constitute a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, the Nasdaq listing rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees must be an “independent director.” Under the Nasdaq listing rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Additionally, compensation committee members must not have a relationship with the listed company that is material to the director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member.

Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors or any other board committee: (i) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

Our Board of Directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and considered whether each director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. As a result of this review, our Board of Directors determined that David L. Lacey, Julia P. Gregory, Lori A. Kunkel, Judith A. Reinsdorf, Edward C. Saltzman, and Paul M. Silva, representing six of our seven incumbent directors, are “independent directors” as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing requirements and rules of Nasdaq. In making these determinations, our Board of Directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each directors’ business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director and any affiliates.

The Board of Directors is committed to a robust self-evaluation process designed for continuous improvement. To achieve this, the Board of Directors conducts an annual self-evaluation for itself and its committees. As part of this process, each member of the Board of Directors completes a survey to provide feedback on the processes, structure, composition and effectiveness of the Board of Directors. The survey is a detailed written questionnaire designed to help the Board of Directors assess the performance of the Board of Directors and its committees, a director’s own individual performance and the individual performances of fellow directors. The feedback received is shared first with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and then made available to the individual directors and the full Board of Directors.

Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and a Development Advisory Committee, each of which has the composition and responsibilities described below. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our Board of Directors. Each of these committees has a written charter, copies of which are available without charge on the investor relations section of our website at ir.nurixtx.com/corporate-governance/overview.

Our Audit Committee is composed of Ms. Gregory, Ms. Reinsdorf and Mr. Silva, with Ms. Gregory serving as the chairperson of our Audit Committee. The composition of our Audit Committee meets the requirements for independence under the current Nasdaq and SEC rules and regulations. In addition, our Board of Directors has determined that each of Ms. Gregory and Mr. Silva is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. This designation does not impose on Ms. Gregory or Mr. Silva any duties, obligations or liabilities that are greater than are generally imposed on members of our Audit Committee and our Board of Directors. Our Audit Committee is directly responsible for, among other things:

Our Compensation Committee is composed of Dr. Lacey, Dr. Kunkel and Mr. Saltzman, with Dr. Lacey serving as the chairperson of our Compensation Committee. Each member of our Compensation Committee is a non-employee director, as defined by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and meets the requirements for independence under current Nasdaq and SEC rules and regulations. Our Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

The Compensation Committee has the sole authority and responsibility, subject to any approval by the Board of Directors which the Compensation Committee or legal counsel determines to be desirable or required by applicable law or the Nasdaq listing rules, to determine all aspects of executive compensation packages for our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers. The Compensation Committee also makes recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding the form and amount of compensation of non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee may take into account the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer with respect to the compensation of the other executive officers, and the recommendations of the Board of Directors or any member of the Board of Directors with respect to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers.

The Compensation Committee engaged an independent executive compensation consulting firm, Aon’s Human Capital Solutions practice, a division of Aon plc (“Aon”), to evaluate our executive compensation and non-employee director compensation program and practices and to provide advice and ongoing assistance on these matters for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023. Specifically, Aon was engaged to:

Representatives of Aon attended the regular meetings of the Compensation Committee, including executive sessions from time to time without any members of management present. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, Aon worked directly with the Compensation Committee (and not on behalf of management) to assist the Compensation Committee in satisfying its responsibilities and undertook no projects for management without the Compensation Committee’s prior approval. The Compensation Committee has determined that none of the work performed by Aon during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, raised any conflict of interest.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is composed of Ms. Gregory, Ms. Reinsdorf and Mr. Silva, with Ms. Gregory serving as the chairperson of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Effective as of the conclusion of the Annual Meeting, Ms. Reinsdorf will assume the role of chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and Ms. Gregory and Mr. Silva will continue serving as committee members. Each member of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets the requirements for independence under the current Nasdaq listing rules. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things:

Our Development Advisory Committee is composed of Dr. Kunkel, Dr. Lacey and Mr. Saltzman, with Dr. Kunkel serving as the chairperson of our Development Advisory Committee. Our Development Advisory Committee is responsible for, among other things:

Our Board of Directors has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other executive and senior financial officers. We intend to disclose future amendments to certain provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or waivers of these provisions, on our website or in public filings. The full text of our code of conduct is posted on the investor relations section of our website at ir.nurixtx.com/corporate-governance/overview.

We believe that corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives are important to our business and to creating sustainable value for our stockholders and wider stakeholder group. Our Board of Directors and management are committed to these initiatives and believe these efforts will benefit our employees, partners, and the communities in which we operate.

We are committed to improving diversity and inclusion in the workplace by creating a values-driven culture and investing in our employees’ career growth through competitive pay and benefits and development and training. Social and Ethical CSR highlights include:

As of November 30, 2023, approximately 52% of our full-time and part-time employees were self-reported as female. Of our vice president-level and above employees, approximately 42% were self-reported as female.

In addition, as of November 30, 2023, approximately 57% of our full-time employees were self-reported as ethnic or racial minorities in the United States, with 42% Asian, 2% Black or African American, 8% Hispanic or Latino and 6% of other minority groups or two or more races. Of our vice president-level and above employees, 25% were self-reported as ethnic or racial minorities in the United States, with 17% Asian and 8% Black or African American.

We are committed to corporate governance policies and practices demonstrating the highest standards of business ethics. We have procedures in place to help ensure compliance with governmental regulations. We review industry trends and best practices so we can continue to foster an environment centered around accountability. Governance CSR highlights include:

The Board of Directors and its committees meet regularly throughout the year and also hold special meetings and act by written consent from time to time. During fiscal year 2023, the Board of Directors held six meetings; the Audit Committee held four meetings; the Compensation Committee held six meetings; the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held three meetings; and the Development Advisory Committee held five meetings. During fiscal year 2023, none of the directors attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings held by the Board of Directors during his or her tenure and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board of Directors on which such director served during his or her tenure. The independent members of the Board of Directors also meet separately without management directors on a regular basis to discuss such matters as the independent directors consider appropriate.

We invite and encourage each member of our Board of Directors to attend our annual meetings of stockholders; however, we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by the members of our Board of Directors at our annual meetings of stockholders. All of the then-serving members of our Board of Directors attended our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (2023 Annual Meeting).

Stockholders and interested parties who wish to communicate with our Board of Directors, the non-management members of our Board of Directors as a group, a committee of the Board of Directors or a specific member of our Board of Directors (including our Chair) may do so by letter addressed to:

Nurix Therapeutics, Inc.

c/o Secretary

1700 Owens Street, Suite 205

San Francisco, California, 94158

All communications by letter addressed to the attention of our Secretary will be reviewed by the Secretary and provided to the members of the Board of Directors unless such communications are unsolicited items, sales materials and other routine items and items unrelated to the duties and responsibilities of the Board of Directors.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, considering and recommending candidates to the Board of Directors for Board membership. A variety of methods are used to identify and evaluate director nominees, with the goal of maintaining and further developing a diverse, experienced and highly qualified Board of Directors. Candidates may come to our attention through current members of our Board of Directors, professional search firms, stockholders or other persons.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will recommend to the Board of Directors for selection all nominees to be proposed by the Board of Directors for election by the stockholders, including approval or recommendation of a slate of director nominees to be proposed by the Board of Directors for election at each annual meeting of stockholders, and will recommend all director nominees to be appointed by the Board of Directors to fill interim director vacancies.

Our Board of Directors encourages selection of directors who will contribute to the company’s overall corporate goals and diversity. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may from time to time review and recommend to the Board of Directors the desired qualifications, expertise and characteristics of directors, including such factors as diversity, breadth of experience, knowledge about our business and industry, willingness and ability to devote adequate time and effort to the Board of Directors, ability to contribute to the Board of Directors’ overall effectiveness, and the needs of the Board of Directors and its committees. Exceptional candidates who do not meet all of these criteria may still be considered. In evaluating potential candidates for the Board of Directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers these factors in the light of the specific needs of the Board of Directors at that time.

In addition, under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, a director is expected to spend the time and effort necessary to properly discharge such director’s responsibilities. Accordingly, a director is expected to regularly attend meetings of the Board of Directors and committees on which such director sits, and to review, prior to meetings, the materials distributed in advance for such meetings. Thus, the number of other public company boards and other boards (or comparable governing bodies) on which a prospective nominee is a member, as well as his or her other professional responsibilities, will be considered. Also, under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, there are no limits on the number of three-year terms that may be served by a director. However, in connection with evaluating recommendations for nomination for reelection, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers director tenure. We value diversity on a company-wide basis but have not adopted a specific policy regarding Board diversity.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider properly submitted stockholder recommendations for candidates for membership on our Board of Directors who meet the minimum qualifications as described above. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not intend to alter the manner in which it evaluates candidates, including the minimum criteria set forth above, based on whether or not the candidate was recommended by a stockholder. A stockholder of record can nominate a candidate for election to the Board of Directors by complying with the procedures in Article I, Section 1.12 of our amended and restated bylaws. Any eligible stockholder who wishes to submit a nomination should review the requirements in the amended and restated bylaws on nominations by stockholders. Any nomination should be sent in writing to our Secretary, Nurix Therapeutics, Inc., 1700 Owens Street, Suite 205, San Francisco, California, 94158. Submissions must include the full name of the proposed nominee, complete biographical information, a description of the proposed nominee’s qualifications as a director, other information specified in our amended and restated bylaws, and a representation that the nominating stockholder is a beneficial or record holder of our stock. Any such submission must be accompanied by the written consent of the proposed nominee to be named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected. These candidates are evaluated at meetings of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and may be considered at any point during the year. If any materials are provided by a stockholder in connection with the recommendation of a director candidate, such materials are forwarded to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Additional information regarding the process for properly submitting stockholder nominations for candidates for membership on our Board of Directors is set forth below under “Stockholder Proposals to Be Presented at Next Annual Meeting.”

Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes. Each class serves for three years, with the terms of office of the respective classes expiring in successive years. Directors and director nominees in Class I will stand for election at the Annual Meeting. The terms of office of directors in Class II and Class III do not expire until the annual meetings of stockholders to be held in 2025 and 2026, respectively. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended to our Board of Directors, and our Board of Directors nominated, Dr. Lacey and Ms. Gregory, each an incumbent Class I director, for election as Class I directors at the Annual Meeting. At the recommendation of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, our Board of Directors proposes that each of the Class I nominees be elected as a Class I director for a three-year term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2027 and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier resignation or removal.

Each director will be elected by a plurality of the votes present at the virtual Annual Meeting or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that the two individuals nominated for election to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected. As a result, any shares not voted “FOR” a particular nominee, whether as a result of a withhold vote or a broker non-vote, will not be counted in such nominee’s favor and will have no effect on the outcome of the election. You may vote “FOR ALL,” “WITHHOLD ALL,” or vote “FOR ALL EXCEPT” one or more of the nominees you specify. Shares represented by proxies will be voted “FOR ALL” unless the proxy is marked to withhold authority to so vote. You may not cumulate votes in the election of directors. If either nominee for any reason is unable to serve, the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominee as the proxy holders, who are officers of our company, might determine. Each nominee has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected. Proxies may not be voted for more than two directors.

The nominees and their ages as of March 21, 2024, are provided in the table below. Additional biographical information for each nominee is set forth in the text below the table.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR ALL” NOMINEES IN THE ELECTION OF CLASS I DIRECTORS.

Our Audit Committee has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our principal independent registered public accounting firm to perform the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2024. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP audited our financial statements for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2023 and 2022. We expect that representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting, will be able to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders are being asked to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2024. Although ratification by stockholders is not required by law, our Audit Committee is submitting the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to our stockholders because we value our stockholders’ views on our independent registered public accounting firm and as a matter of good corporate governance. If this proposal does not receive the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal that are voted “FOR” or “AGAINST” the matter, the Audit Committee would reconsider the appointment. Notwithstanding its selection and even if our stockholders ratify the selection, our Audit Committee, in its discretion, may appoint another independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee believes that such a change would be in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders.

The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the audit of our annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2023 and 2022.

Our Audit Committee generally pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. Our independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. Our Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis. All of the services relating to the fees described in the table above were approved by our Audit Committee.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL NO. 2.

In accordance with the rules of the SEC, we are providing stockholders with an opportunity to make a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. This non-binding advisory vote is commonly referred to as a “say on pay” vote. Approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement, will be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock entitled to vote on the matter that are present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and are voted either “FOR” or “AGAINST” the proposal.

Stockholders are urged to read the “Executive Compensation” section of the proxy statement, which discusses how our executive compensation policies and procedures implement our compensation philosophy and contains tabular information and narrative discussion about our executive compensation policies and procedures and the compensation of our named executive officers. Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors believe that these policies and procedures are effective in implementing our compensation philosophy and in achieving our goals. Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting.

“RESOLVED, that our stockholders approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the proxy statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation disclosures, the compensation tables and narrative discussion and the other related disclosures.”

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. However, our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee, which is responsible for designing and administering our executive compensation program, value the opinions expressed by stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL NO. 3, APPROVING THE COMPENSATION PAID BY US TO OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

The information contained in the following report of the Audit Committee is not considered to be “soliciting material,” “filed” or incorporated by reference in any past or future filing by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless and only to the extent that we specifically incorporate it by reference.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with our management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP our audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023. The Audit Committee has also discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP its independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, for filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

In this Overview and Narrative (“Compensation Disclosure”), we provide an overview of the philosophy and objectives of our executive compensation program, as well as a description of its material components. In addition, we explain how and why our Compensation Committee arrived at specific compensation policies and decisions involving our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, or fiscal year 2023. This Compensation Disclosure is intended to be read in conjunction with the tables that immediately follow this section, which provide additional compensation information for our named executive officers. We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act and, as such, we are not required to provide the additional disclosures included in this Compensation Disclosure. However, we believe the additional narrative disclosure with respect to our executive compensation program will provide our stockholders with further information regarding our company and our executive compensation program and practices and therefore will assist in their consideration of Proposal No. 3, the non-binding vote with respect to named executive officer compensation.

As of November 30, 2023, our named executive officers consisted of:

The past year was a significant and highly productive year for Nurix as we advanced our wholly-owned programs from our proprietary DELigase platform into clinical development and demonstrated clinical benefit for patients with advanced B-cell malignancies and ability to overcome BTK inhibitor resistant mutations.

In the past year, we have accomplished much, including:

This Compensation Disclosure outlines how our executive compensation programs incentivize our management team to lead our company’s success going forward and align the team’s interests with our stockholders. We have ambitious clinical trial, pipeline and business development goals for fiscal year 2024. We believe we are well-positioned and look forward to sharing clinical data from our clinical programs as we continue to advance our internal pipeline and make progress in our strategic collaborations with Sanofi, Gilead and Pfizer.

Our Compensation Committee believes an appropriate, well-designed compensation program should align executive interests with the drivers of growth and stockholder returns by supporting Nurix’s achievement of its primary business goals. Further, the compensation program must enable us to attract and retain employees whose talents, expertise and leadership can drive our success and sustained growth in long-term stockholder value.

We have designed and implemented a compensation program that is appropriate for our company given our business, industry, growth and other factors.

We operate in an intensely competitive market and seek to attract and retain a highly talented management team. To meet this challenge, we have embraced a performance-oriented compensation philosophy focused on creating long-term value. Our executive compensation program is heavily weighted toward variable, at-risk pay through

short-term cash incentives and long-term equity awards. Our Compensation Committee used its judgment, as well as market data in consultation with its independent compensation consultant, to establish an appropriate mix of pay elements that will reward our named executive officers for the achievement of specific financial and key strategic objectives while also creating long-term stockholder value.

To inform and guide our pay structure, we adhere to certain practices that encourage decision-making grounded in the long-term interests of our stockholders and Nurix alike.

At our 2023 Annual Meeting, we conducted a non-binding stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers (commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal). Our stockholders approved the fiscal 2022 compensation of our named executive officers with approximately 61% of the votes cast in favor of our say-on-pay proposal. In contrast, at our annual meeting of stockholders in May 2022, which was the first year our say-on-pay proposal was presented to our stockholders, our say-on-pay proposal received the support of 96% of the votes cast. Our Compensation Committee believes the decreased support for fiscal year 2022 compensation as compared to fiscal year 2021 compensation occurred primarily as a result of a one-time company-wide equity award retention program during fiscal year 2022, which included our named executive officers. Our Compensation Committee determined that this fiscal year 2022 company-wide equity award retention program provided a necessary incentive to keep our team focused on driving towards our success at a time when many stock options held by our employees, including our named executive officers, were significantly underwater and were no longer providing incentive or retentive value. During fiscal year 2023, we did not grant similar one-time retention equity awards to our employees, including our named executive officers.

Following our 2023 Annual Meeting, our Compensation Committee reviewed the results of our say-on-pay proposal and concluded that, although the results with respect to our fiscal 2022 compensation were disappointing, it continues to believe that our executive compensation program is correctly aligned with the current stage of our company’s maturity and is effective at attracting and retaining top-tier executives to drive our strategic initiatives in a highly competitive market. Consequently, our Compensation Committee did not make any significant changes to our executive compensation program based on its review of the voting results, other than making a decision not to grant any additional one-time retention equity awards in fiscal 2023. Our Board of Directors values the opinions of our stockholders, and our Compensation Committee will continue to consider the results of future stockholder votes, as well as feedback received throughout the year, when making compensation decisions for our executives, including our named executive officers.

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the total compensation of our named executive officers, including the underlying philosophy and related policies of our compensation program. In its capacity, the Compensation Committee designs, implements, reviews, approves and, as it deems appropriate, recommends for approval to our Board of Directors, all compensation for our CEO and our other named executive officers. From time to time, and in conjunction with our Compensation Committee, the independent members of our Board of Directors may also be involved in setting the compensation of our CEO and other named executive officers and determining the corporate objectives upon which our short-term and long-term incentives are based. Our Compensation Committee’s decisions and recommendations regarding executive compensation are based on the Compensation Committee’s assessment of the performance of Nurix and each individual executive officer, as well as other factors, such as prevailing industry trends and the competitive market for executive talent.

Our CEO contributes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the base compensation and target incentive amounts of our named executive officers, though not with respect to his own compensation. These recommendations take into account factors such as internal pay equity, changes in responsibilities, personal performance and contributions, and retention requirements, as well as applicable peer and industry compensation levels.

Our Compensation Committee considers, but is not required to follow, management’s recommendations, and may adjust compensation up or down as it determines in its discretion. The CEO is not present for discussions regarding his pay but is present during discussions of pay for the other named executive officers.

The Compensation Committee retained Aon as its independent outside compensation consultant to provide objective analysis in support of our compensation program. The Compensation Committee has sole authority to retain or replace its independent compensation consultants, and annually evaluates Aon’s independence and performance under applicable SEC rules and Nasdaq listing rules. The Compensation Committee believes that working with an independent compensation consultant helps inform and support our objectives to recruit and retain qualified executives and align executive and stockholder interests, and ensures that executive compensation packages appropriately motivate and reward ongoing achievement of our long term business goals. The Compensation Committee conducted a specific review of its relationship with Aon in fiscal year 2023 and determined that Aon’s work for the Compensation Committee did not raise any conflicts of interest.

For our fiscal year 2023, Aon assisted the Compensation Committee with, among other things:

With Aon’s analysis and recommendations, in August 2022 the Compensation Committee developed and approved a peer group of companies to inform a broad perspective on competitive pay levels and practices for making fiscal year 2023 compensation decisions. When selecting peers, the Compensation Committee used the following criteria:

Using the above criteria, the Compensation Committee determined the fiscal year 2023 peer group would consist of the following 21 companies:

In setting compensation for our executive officers, including our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee uses competitive compensation data from an Aon annual total compensation study of the selected peer group companies and other relevant survey sources to inform its decisions about overall compensation opportunities and specific compensation elements. The Compensation Committee uses our peer group as one data point among many when setting executive pay packages.

The Company’s executive compensation program consists of three primary elements: base salaries, annual cash incentives, and long-term equity awards, which for fiscal year 2023 was provided in the form of stock options and RSUs. As noted above, our Compensation Committee consults with our independent compensation consultant and, among other considerations, reviews the pay practices of our peer group in determining the mix and size of each element of our compensation program.

Base salary is the only fixed component of our named executive officers’ total cash compensation and provides competitive and stable pay to attract and retain our executives. We make annual salary decisions by taking into account competitive data, the skills and experience that each executive brings to Nurix, and the performance contributions of each executive. The base salaries for our named executive officers for fiscal year 2023, which went into effect on January 1, 2023, are included below.

We believe that a portion of the target total cash compensation for each named executive officer should be in the form of an annual cash incentive opportunity, which is intended to motivate our executive officers to achieve annual corporate and individual performance objectives. The CEO does not have individual performance objectives as he is more directly responsible for the achievement of our corporate objectives.

Each named executive officer’s target bonus is calculated as a percentage of his or her base salary. In February 2023, the Board of Directors, upon a recommendation from the Compensation Committee, determined the target bonus percentage for Drs. Sands and Hansen and Mr. van Houte for fiscal year 2023. Based on their consideration of the compensation practices of the fiscal year 2023 peer group, the Board of Directors determined that the CEO’s target bonus percentage and the other named executive officers’ target bonus percentages would remain unchanged at 60% and 40%, respectively.

For fiscal year 2023, the annual bonuses for our named executive officers were based on the achievement of corporate objectives and, for the named executive officers other than the CEO, individual performance objectives, with bonuses weighted at 70% for corporate performance objectives (100% for the CEO) and 30% for individual objectives for the named executive officers other than the CEO. We believe this weighting is appropriate as it incentivizes significant focus on strategic corporate goals, as well as individual growth and leadership.

The corporate performance goals for the fiscal year 2023 bonuses were determined by our Board of Directors, upon recommendation from the Compensation Committee, and included certain developmental, research,

financial, and operational milestones. In addition, our fiscal year 2023 bonus program included two stretch goals under which any actual annual cash bonus otherwise payable could be increased if our stretch goals were achieved, such that the maximum bonus that could have been achieved for fiscal year 2023 was 125% of the executive’s target bonus opportunity. We did not provide for any guaranteed minimum bonus payment. The Compensation Committee did not weight our 2023 corporate goals and retained full discretion to determine the corporate goal achievement based on all factors and circumstances effecting achievement.

The corporate objectives were designed to directly impact our ability to advance and expand our product portfolio platform, advance our strategic business and financial partnerships, advance our hiring needs with sufficient fiscal discipline to retain cash runway, and increase the overall value of the Company in the future. In particular, our product development goals emphasized the importance of meeting key clinical milestones and creating shareholder value. Likewise, our product development goals were aligned with our strategic investment in research and development. The goals pertain to confidential company development and business plans, the disclosure of which in any additional granularity would result in competitive harm to the Company. The Board of Directors believed that each of these goals would be significantly challenging and would require a high level of performance in order to be achieved.

In February 2024, the independent members of our Board of Directors reviewed performance against the fiscal year 2023 corporate goals. The independent members of our Board of Directors recognized the effective execution and significant progress made on certain critical business goals, including the advancement of our clinical programs and the achievement of our internal research goals and those related to our partnered programs. The independent members of our Board of Directors considered these achievements to be significant. Accordingly, our Board of Directors determined that our corporate goals were achieved at 100% of target.

The Compensation Committee and the independent members of our Board of Directors, following recommendations from our Compensation Committee, determined that Dr. Hansen achieved her individual performance objectives at 110% of target for a total bonus achievement of 103% of target and Mr. van Houte achieved his individual performance objectives at 100% of target for a total bonus achievement of 100% of target. Since the CEO’s performance objectives are equivalent to the corporate performance objectives, Dr. Sands’ bonus was earned at 100% of target. The independent members of our Board of Directors and our Compensation Committee approved cash bonuses for fiscal year 2023 for the named executive officers as follows:

Because of the direct relationship between the value of our equity awards and the fair market value of our common stock, we believe that granting long-term equity awards is the best method of motivating our named executive officers in a manner that aligns their interest with our long-term strategic direction and the interests of our stockholders, as well as providing our executive officers with an incentive to remain with us as their equity awards vest. We have historically granted equity awards to new executive officers upon the commencement of their employment and consider additional grants to existing executive officers, including our named executive officers, annually, based on our overall corporate performance, individual performance, the equity award practices of our peer group, the executive’s potential for future responsibility, the criticality of his or her work to our long-term success, and the retentive value of the executive officers’ outstanding awards.

For fiscal year 2023, our long-term incentive program consisted of stock options granted to the CEO and a mix of stock options and RSUs granted to the other named executive officers. As discussed above, these stock options are intended to incentivize delivery of sustainable long-term value and to provide strong retentive value for our executive officers.

We believe stock options continued to be an appropriate equity instrument for our named executive officers for fiscal year 2023, as stock options will only have value if our stock price rises and therefore reward performance and strong growth and provide strong retentive value for our named executive officers. Additionally, we grant time-based RSUs to our named executive officers (other than the CEO) as we believe RSUs also serve as an

important retention vehicle and align the interests of management and stockholders to promote stability and retention of our executive team while being less dilutive than stock options.

Our Compensation Committee worked with its independent compensation consultant to determine the appropriate pay mix between equity compensation and cash compensation and considered the practices of our peer group as one data point in their determination of the appropriate proportion and size of the equity grants. The Compensation Committee also took into consideration each named executive officer’s recent performance history, his or her potential for future responsibility and the criticality of his or her work to the long-term success of our company as well as the retentive hold of his or her then-outstanding equity awards and our retention needs. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to give relative weight to each of these factors as it sets the size of the equity grant to appropriately create an opportunity for reward based on increasing stockholder value.

Consistent with prior years, and based on the analysis and considerations described above, our Compensation Committee granted annual refresh equity awards to our named executive officers in February 2023. As noted above, our CEO received only stock options and our other named executive officers received a split of 70% stock options and 30% RSUs. Our annual stock options and annual RSUs have three-year vesting provisions in order to align with long-term value creation and provide a strong retention incentive for our named executive officers.

Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans on the same basis as our other employees, including our 401(k) plan, health and welfare plans, cell phone costs and reimbursement for certain wellness benefits. Additionally, Dr. Sands and Mr. van Houte received reimbursement for certain housing related costs as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table.

All of our employees, officers and directors, consultants, and contractors (covered persons) are subject to our Insider Trading Policy, which prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of any material nonpublic information acquired in the workplace and the misuse of material nonpublic information in securities trading. The policy also includes specific provisions which bar covered persons from hedging and pledging our securities. Covered persons are prohibited from pledging Nurix securities as collateral in a margin account or for loans unless specific pre-approval has been obtained from Nurix’s Chief Legal Officer. Additionally, covered persons are barred from engaging in transactions in publicly-traded options, such as puts and calls, and other derivative securities with respect to the company’s securities. This prohibition extends to any hedging or similar transaction designed to decrease the risks associated with holding the company’s securities.

In July 2023, our Board of Directors adopted a compensation recovery policy (the “Compensation Recovery Policy”) intended to comply with applicable SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards. The Compensation Recovery Policy is administered by our Compensation Committee (in such capacity, the “Administrator”) and enables us to recover from current and former officers, and such additional employees as may be identified by the Administrator from time to time, incentive-based compensation, as defined in the Compensation Recovery

Policy, in the event of an accounting restatement resulting from material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under federal securities laws. For more information, see the full text of our Compensation Recovery Policy, which is filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report.

Each of our named executive officers is employed at-will and their compensation is reviewed periodically and subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee. We have entered into offer letters with each of our named executive officers. Each of these offer letters include each officer’s base salary, an annual incentive cash bonus opportunity and standard employee benefit plan participation. The offer letters also acknowledge that each named executive officer will participate in our Severance and Change in Control Plan. Any potential payments and benefits due upon a termination of employment or in connection with a change in control of the company are described below in “ —Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.”

We account for equity-based compensation under FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation–Stock Compensation,” which requires us to value and record an expense over the service period of the award. Thus, we may record an expense in one year for awards granted in earlier years. Accounting rules also require the recording of cash compensation as an expense when earned.

The Compensation Committee considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code) in designing, establishing, and implementing our executive compensation policies and practices. Section 162(m) generally prohibits us from deducting any compensation over $1 million per taxable year paid to certain of our named executive officers.

While the Compensation Committee considers the deductibility of awards as one factor in determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee also looks at other factors in making its decisions and retains the flexibility to award compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program even if the awards are not deductible by us for tax purposes.

In addition to considering the tax consequences, the Compensation Committee considers the accounting consequences of its decisions, including the impact of expenses being recognized in connection with equity-based awards, in determining the size and form of different equity-based awards.

The Compensation Committee reviews our compensation policies and practices to determine areas of potential risks and the actions we have taken, or should take, to mitigate any such identified risks. Based on the Compensation Committee’s review of our compensation policies and practices, we do not believe that any risks relating to our compensation policies and practices are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business.

In accordance with rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, we provide the following disclosure regarding executive compensation for our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and Non-PEO NEOs and Company performance for the fiscal years listed below. The Compensation Committee did not consider the pay versus performance disclosure below in making its pay decisions for any of the years shown.

The following chart sets forth the relationship between Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO, the average of Compensation Actually Paid to our Non-PEO NEOs, and the Company’s cumulative TSR over the two most recently completed fiscal years.

 

The following chart sets forth the relationship between Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO, the average of Compensation Actually Paid to our Non-PEO NEOs, and our Net Income during the two most recently completed fiscal years.

 

Certain of our officers, including our named executive officers, participate in our Executive Severance and Change in Control Plan (Executive Severance Plan).

Outside of a Change in Control. Pursuant to the Severance Plan and his Executive Severance Plan participation agreement, if Dr. Sands is terminated without “cause” or resigns for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the Executive Severance Plan) prior to a “change in control” (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan”) of the company or following the 12-month anniversary of a change in control of the company, he will be entitled to receive a cash amount, payable in a lump sum, equal to his (i) annual base salary and (ii) any annual bonus earned for our prior completed fiscal year to the extent not yet paid. In addition, Dr. Sands will be entitled to continued coverage under our group-healthcare plans for a period ending on the earlier of (x) 12 months following the termination date and (y) the date that he and his covered dependents become eligible for coverage under another employer’s plans.

Pursuant to the Executive Severance Plan and their applicable Executive Severance Plan participation agreements, if our other named executive officers (other than Dr. Sands) are terminated without cause or resign for good reason prior to a change in control of the company, or following the 12-month anniversary of a change in control of the company, they will be entitled to receive a cash amount, payable in a lump sum, equal to (i) 0.75 times their annual base salary and (ii) any annual bonus earned for our prior completed fiscal year to the extent not yet paid. In addition, they will be entitled to continued coverage under our group-healthcare plans for a period ending on the earlier of (x) nine months following the termination date and (y) the date that they and their covered dependents become eligible for coverage under another employer’s plans.

In Connection with a Change in Control. In the event that Dr. Sands is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason within 12 months following a change in control of the company, then in lieu of the foregoing, he will be entitled to receive a cash amount, payable in a lump sum, equal to (i) two times his annual base salary, (ii) any annual bonus earned for our prior completed fiscal year to the extent not yet paid and (iii) his target bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs. Dr. Sands will also be entitled to continued coverage under our group-healthcare plans for a period ending on the earlier of (x) 24 months following the termination date and (y) the date that Dr. Sands and his covered dependents become eligible for coverage under another

employer’s plans. In addition, each then-outstanding equity award that vests subject to Dr. Sand’s continued service will automatically become vested and exercisable in full and any equity awards subject to performance-based vesting criteria will be treated in accordance with the applicable award agreement or other applicable equity incentive plan governing the terms of such equity award.

In the event that our named executive officers other than Dr. Sands are terminated without cause or resign for good reason within 12 months following a change in control of the company, then in lieu of the payments and benefits set forth above, they will be entitled to receive a cash amount, payable in a lump sum, equal to (i) their annual base salary, (ii) any annual bonus earned for our prior completed fiscal year to the extent not yet paid and (iii) their target bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs. Such named executive officers will also be entitled to continued coverage under our group-healthcare plans for a period ending on the earlier of (x) 12 months following the termination date and (y) the date that they and their covered dependents become eligible for coverage under another employer’s plans. In addition, each then-outstanding equity award that vests subject to their continued service will automatically become vested and exercisable in full and any equity awards subject to performance-based vesting criteria will be treated in accordance with the applicable award agreement or other applicable equity incentive plan governing the terms of such equity award.

The vesting of any outstanding equity award that is not assumed by a successor company following a change in control of the company will automatically accelerate in full without regard to the named executive officer’s termination of service.

For purposes of the Executive Severance Plan, “cause” means: an Executive Severance Plan participant (i) has been convicted of, or has pleaded guilty or nolo contendere to, any felony or crime involving moral turpitude, (ii) has engaged in a willful act of misconduct, or committed any act of fraud, theft, embezzlement, misappropriation of funds, breach of fiduciary duty or other willful act of material dishonesty against us, (iii) other than in the case of a termination of employment during the period commencing on the change in control and ending 12 months following the change in control (the “change in control period”), has materially failed or refused to satisfactorily perform the material duties lawfully and reasonably assigned to the him or her or has performed such material duties with gross negligence; (iv) has breached any material term or condition of his or her employment agreement, or Employment, Confidential Information and Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement with us or any other material agreement with us; or (v) acted in willful violation or disregard of any written policy or practice of ours, including a code of conduct, which results in material loss, damage or injury to us; in each case provided that any of the foregoing may be cured, if curable, within 30 days’ notice from us.

For purposes of the Executive Severance Plan, “good reason” means: a cessation of an Executive Severance Plan participant’s employment as a result of the participant’s resignation within 120 days after the occurrence of one or more of the following without the participant’s consent: (i) a reduction of more than 10% in participant’s base salary as an employee of the company, except to the extent we implement an equal percentage reduction applicable to all executive officers and management personnel; (ii) a material reduction in the participants duties, responsibilities or authority at the company; provided that this clause (ii) will only apply in the case of a termination during a change in control period; (iii) a change in the geographic location at which the participant must perform services which results in an increase in the one-way commute of the participant by more than 50 miles, provided that our requirement that participant work remotely or return to work at participant’s designated company office following a current or future remote work period required by the company in its sole discretion will not constitute the foregoing change in geographic location; or (iv) a successor of the ours does not assume the Executive Severance Plan. A resignation for good reason will not be deemed to have occurred unless the participant gives us written notice of the condition within 90 days after the condition comes into existence and we fail to remedy the condition within 30 days after receiving the participant’s written notice.

For purposes of the Executive Severance Plan, “change in control” means: the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the company representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by our then outstanding voting securities; (ii) the consummation of the sale or disposition by the company of all or substantially all of our assets; or (iii) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the our voting securities outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being

converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or its parent) more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by our voting securities or such surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; provided that the event also qualifies as a change in control under U.S. Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v) or 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii).

All such severance payments and benefits are subject to each named executive officer’s execution of a general release of claims against us. The terms of the Executive Severance Plan supersede all prior agreements with our named executive officers, including their respective individual offer letters and employment agreements, with respect to any severance payments and equity acceleration to which any such named executive officers may be entitled upon a termination of service or change in control of the company.

The Executive Severance Plan includes a 280G “best-net” cutback, which would cause an automatic reduction in any payments or benefits that the named executive officer would receive that constitute parachute payments within the meaning of Code Section 280G, in the event such reduction would result in the named executive officer receiving greater payments and benefits on an after-tax basis.

The following table presents information as of November 30, 2023, with respect to compensation plans under which shares of our common stock may be issued.

From December 1, 2021 to the present, there have been no transactions, and there are currently no proposed transactions, in which the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of the company’s total assets at year-end for the prior two completed fiscal years and in which we or any of our subsidiaries was (or is to be) a party and in which any director, director nominee, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of or person sharing the household with any of these individuals, had (or will have) a direct or indirect material interest, except for payments set forth under “Proposal No. 1 Election of Class I Directors” and “Executive Compensation” above.

Our Board of Directors has adopted a written related person transactions policy. Under this policy, our executive officers, directors, nominees for election as a director, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our common stock, and any members of the immediate family of and any entity affiliated with any of the foregoing persons, are not permitted to enter into a material related person transaction with us without the review and approval of our Audit Committee, or a committee composed solely of independent directors in the event it is inappropriate for our Audit Committee to review such transaction due to a conflict of interest. The policy provides that any request for us to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, nominee for election as a director, beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock or with any of their immediate family members or affiliates in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years will be presented to our Audit Committee for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, our Audit Committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to the Audit Committee, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction.

Requirements for Stockholder Proposals to be Brought Before an Annual Meeting. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that for stockholder nominations to our Board of Directors or other proposals to be considered at an annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholder must give timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary at Nurix Therapeutics, Inc., 1700 Owens Street, Suite 205, San Francisco, California, 94158.

To be timely for our company’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2025 (the 2025 Annual Meeting), a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to our Secretary at our principal executive offices not earlier than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on January 20, 2025, and not later than the 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 19, 2025. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the 2025 Annual Meeting the information required by applicable law and our amended and restated bylaws. However, if the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after the one-year anniversary of the date of our 2024 Annual Meeting, for the stockholder notice to be timely, it must be delivered to the Secretary at our principal executive offices not earlier than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the 120th day prior to the date of our 2025 Annual Meeting and not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the later of (1) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or (2) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by us.

To comply with our amended and restated bylaws as well as the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees for the 2025 Annual Meeting must ensure that our Secretary receives written notice that sets forth all information required by our amended and restated bylaws and by Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act within the time frames set forth above.

Requirements for Stockholder Proposals to be Considered for Inclusion in our Proxy Materials. Stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and intended to be presented at our 2025 Annual Meeting must be received by us not later than November 27, 2024, in order to be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for that meeting. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the 2025 Annual Meeting the information required by applicable law and our amended and restated bylaws.

Section 16 of the Exchange Act requires our directors, certain officers, and beneficial owners of more than ten percent of our common stock to file reports with the SEC indicating their holdings of and transactions in the company’s equity securities. Based solely on a review of such copies and written representations from our reporting persons, the company believes that all Section 16 filing requirements were fulfilled on a timely basis during fiscal year 2023.

The Annual Report is also available at ir.nurixtx.com.

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers) to implement a delivery procedure called “householding.” Under this procedure, multiple stockholders who reside at the same address may receive a single copy of our Annual Report and proxy materials, unless the affected stockholder has provided other instructions. This procedure reduces printing costs and postage fees, and helps protect the environment as well.

We expect that a number of brokers with account holders who are our stockholders will be “householding” our Annual Report and proxy materials. A single set of Annual Report and other proxy materials will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from one or more of the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that it will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. Stockholders of record may revoke their consent at any time by contacting Equiniti

Trust Company, LLC, either by calling toll-free (800) 937-5449, or by writing to Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, 55 Challenger Road, Ridgefield Park, NJ 07660. Stockholders who are the beneficial owners of shares held in an account with a brokerage firm, bank, trustee or similar organization may revoke their consent at any time by contacting their broker, bank, or other holder of record.

Upon written or oral request, we will undertake to promptly deliver a separate copy of the proxy statement, proxy card, Annual Report and other proxy materials to any stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of any of those documents was delivered. To receive a separate copy of the proxy statement, proxy card, Annual Report and other proxy materials, you may write our Investor Relations Department at Nurix Therapeutics, Inc., 1700 Owens Street, Suite 205, San Francisco, California, 94158, Attn: Investor Relations, or submit a request on our website at ir.nurixtx.com/shareholder-resources/contact-ir.

Any stockholders who share the same address and currently receive multiple copies of our Annual Report and other proxy materials who wish to receive only one copy in the future can contact their bank, broker or other holder of record to request information about “householding” or our Investor Relations Department at the address or telephone number listed above.

Our Board of Directors does not presently intend to bring any other business before the Annual Meeting and, so far as is known to the Board of Directors, no matters are to be brought before the Annual Meeting except as specified in the notice of the Annual Meeting. As to any business that may arise and properly come before the Annual Meeting, however, it is intended that proxies, in the form enclosed, will be voted in respect thereof in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting such proxies.
