SUPPLEMENT TO

PROXY STATEMENT DATED APRIL 24, 2024

FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

OF

IMPINJ, INC.

TO THE HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK OF IMPINJ, INC.:

This proxy statement supplement (this “Supplement”) updates and amends our definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 24, 2024 regarding the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Impinj, Inc. (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on June 6, 2024, 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time via live webcast at https://web.lumiconnect.com/253024847. Except as updated by this Supplement, all information set forth in the Proxy Statement remains unchanged and should be considered in casting your vote by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting. This Supplement; our Proxy Statement; and our 2023 annual report to stockholders, which includes our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, are available at http://www.astproxyportal.com/ast/20867. The Proxy Statement contains important information, and this Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement. From and after the date of this Supplement, all references to the “Proxy Statement” are to the Proxy Statement as amended hereby.

The purpose of this document is to furnish you with the complete text of the certificate of amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation referenced in the Proxy Statement as Annex A to that document, which is attached to this Supplement as Annex A to this document and is further described in the Proxy Statement in connection with Proposal No. 4.

If you have already voted and would like to change or revoke your vote on any proposal, please refer to the disclosure in the Proxy Statement under “THE PROXY PROCESS AND STOCKHOLDER VOTING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING— Can I change my vote?” for instructions on how to do so.

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT. PLEASE VOTE YOUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK PROMPTLY.

To ensure your representation at the Annual Meeting, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the proxy card accompanying the Proxy Statement as soon as possible. If you are a stockholder of record holding one or more shares of common stock as of April 17, 2024, you may also cast your vote via the Internet, telephone or mail. If your broker holds your shares as your nominee, you will need to follow the instructions your broker provides to instruct your broker on how to vote your shares. If you do not give instructions to your broker, your broker can vote your shares with respect to “routine” items, but not with respect to “non-routine” items. Proposal No. 4 is a non-routine matter under applicable rules. Absent direction from you, your broker will not have discretion to vote on non-routine matters and therefore there may be broker non-votes in connection with these proposals.

The approval of Proposal No. 4 for the amendment of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to limit the liability of certain officers as permitted by Delaware law must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding as of the record date for the Annual Meeting. Abstentions are considered votes cast and thus have the same effect as a vote “Against” the proposal. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “Against” this proposal.

For more information about our Annual Meeting, please see the Proxy Statement.

Thank you for your participation. We look forward to your continued support.
