Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Ikena Oncology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) on October 11, 2023. As of the close of business on September 7, 2023, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 37,464,898 outstanding shares of the Company’s voting common stock.

The Company’s stockholders voted on the following proposals at the Special Meeting, each of which was approved. Detailed descriptions of each proposal are included in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 25, 2023. The final vote tabulation for each proposal is set forth below.

(a) Proposal No. 1: The Company’s stockholders approved, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), the issuance of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), upon conversion of the Company’s Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Proposal No. 1”), issued in connection with the acquisition of Pionyr Immunotherapeutics, Inc. (the “Acquisition”). The votes cast at the Special Meeting were as follows:

For	Against	Abstain
25,681,604	12,086	1,156

The above voting results for Proposal No. 1 do not include the 1,647,531 shares of Common Stock that were issued in the Acquisition that were not entitled to vote on Proposal No. 1 for purposes of the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. These 1,647,531 shares of Common Stock were entitled to vote in favor of Proposal No. 1 for purposes of adopting the proposal under Delaware law. However, to comply with the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company instructed the inspector of elections to conduct a separate tabulation, which is set forth above, that subtracted 1,647,531 shares from the total number of shares voted in favor of Proposal No. 1 for purposes of determining whether Proposal No. 1 was approved.

(b) Proposal No. 2: The Company’s stockholders approved the adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting, if necessary, to continue to solicit votes for Proposal No. 1. The votes cast at the Special Meeting were as follows:

For	Against	Abstain
26,947,409	394,239	729

No other matters were submitted to or voted on by the Company’s stockholders at the Special Meeting.
