Transforming Surgery: Open - like Access, Minimally Invasive Vicarious Surgical LEGAL DISCLAIMERS This presentation includes “forward - looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Vicarious Surgical’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates, and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward - looking statements as predictions of future events. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained herein, including without limitation, expected development timelines, estimated total addressable market, the potential benefits of the Vicarious Surgical System compared to existing alternatives, and potential indications, are forward - looking statements that reflect the current beliefs and expectations of management. These forward - looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward - looking statements. Most of these factors are outside Vicarious Surgical’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the ability to maintain the listing of Vicarious Surgical’s Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange; the approval, commercialization and adoption of Vicarious Surgical’s initial product candidates and the success of its single - port surgical robot, called the Vicarious Surgical System, and any of its future product candidates and service offerings; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the ability of Vicarious Surgical to raise financing in the future; the success, cost and timing of Vicarious Surgical’s product and service development activities; the potential attributes and benefits of Vicarious Surgical’s product candidates and services; Vicarious Surgical’s ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for the Vicarious Surgical System, and any related restrictions and limitations of any approved product; the size and duration of human clinical trials for the Vicarious Surgical System; Vicarious Surgical’s ability to identify, in - license or acquire additional technology; Vicarious Surgical’s ability to maintain its existing license, manufacture, supply and distribution agreements; Vicarious Surgical’s ability to compete with other companies currently marketing or engaged in the development of products and services that Vicarious Surgical is currently marketing or developing; the size and growth potential of the markets for Vicarious Surgical’s product candidates and services, and its ability to serve those markets, either alone or in partnership with others; the pricing of Vicarious Surgical’s product candidates and services and reimbursement for medical procedures conducted using its product candidates and services; the company’s estimates regarding expenses, revenue, capital requirements and needs for additional financing; Vicarious Surgical’s financial performance; economic downturns, political and market conditions and their potential to adversely affect Vicarious Surgical’s business, financial condition and results of operations; Vicarious Surgical’s intellectual property rights and its ability to protect or enforce those rights, and the impact on its business, results and financial condition if it is unsuccessful in doing so; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in Vicarious Surgical’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Vicarious Surgical cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive and cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward - looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Vicarious Surgical does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward - looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. All surgical images contained in this presentation are sourced from cadaveric procedures.

Vicarious Surgical Minimally Invasive Surgery Small incisions, but limited anatomical access, visualization and reach, especially in the abdomen. Open Surgery Full anatomical access, but high complications and difficult recovery. Today, Surgeons Choose Between Anatomical Access & Invasiveness Result: Many abdominal surgeries are still performed open, despite the known and agreed upon benefits of MIS. “We eliminate the tradeoff: open - surgery experience through a single incision.”

Vicarious Surgical Legacy Robot Adoption is Heavily Concentrated in Prostatectomy Not By Design, But By Limitation Current Robotics: Prostatectomy: Built as a General - Purpose System Multi - port entry, rigid arms, and limited freedom of motion. One size fits all approach. The Dominant Robotic Procedure >95% adoption rate Confined pelvic anatomy aligns with robot’s strengths: ● Operates well in a small, narrow space ● Straightforward setup & triangulation ● Stable visualization ● Tremor reduction There is massive upside in procedures that don’t fit existing systems.

Vicarious Surgical High Adoption: Anatomy Fits Current Robot Strengths Low Adoption: Anatomy Requires Open - Like Dexterity Beyond Prostatectomy: Adoption Drops Sharply Hernia repair, cholecystectomy, hysterectomy, and stomach/intestinal procedures require broad maneuverability, complex suturing and multi - quadrant access.

Vicarious Surgical We Are Launching in Ventral Hernia Repair Starting Where Others Can’t Go: Redefining Abdominal Access With the ability to work up, down and even backwards, Vicarious Surgical can reach areas of the abdominal wall that are currently difficult or even impossible with other systems . The anterior abdominal wall is a conundrum for “straight”, rigid technology and as a result 54 % of all Ventral Hernias in the U . S . are still performed open . Vicarious Surgical’s unique capabilities may lead to better patient outcomes and operational efficiency in a procedure where it matters most. “We are redefining robotic surgery — expanding access to millions of procedures beyond the reach of today’s systems.”
