PROXY STATEMENT FOR
2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
This proxy statement, or Proxy Statement, is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the board of directors, or Board of Directors or Board, of Achieve Life Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or the Company or Achieve, for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or the Annual Meeting, to be held on June 5, 2024, at 8:00 a.m. Pacific time for the purposes set forth in this Proxy Statement and in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting.
We believe that a virtual stockholder meeting provides greater access to those who may want to attend, and therefore we have chosen that the Annual Meeting be held by virtual meeting. This approach also lowers costs and aligns with our broader sustainability goals. To be admitted virtually to the Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ACHV2024 , you must enter the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice you previously received. You may vote during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website during the Annual Meeting.

Voting Rights
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 10, 2024, the record date, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on April 10, 2024, we had 34,251,911 shares of common stock outstanding.
Each stockholder of record is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on the record date on all matters. Dissenters’ rights are not applicable to any of the matters being voted on.
Virtual Participation in the Annual Meeting
We will be hosting the Annual Meeting live via Internet webcast. A summary of the information you need to participate in the Annual Meeting online is provided below:
Board Recommendation
Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote:
4
Our directors do not have any substantial interest in any matter to be acted upon except with respect to the nomination of such directors for election to our Board of Directors. None of our executive officers have any substantial interest in any matter to be acted upon.
Voting of Proxies
All shares represented by a valid proxy received prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted, and, if you provide specific instructions, your shares will be voted as you instruct. If you sign your proxy card with no further instructions and do not hold your shares beneficially through a broker, bank or other nominee, your shares will be voted FOR each of the nominees for the Board of Directors, FOR the ratification of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, and in the discretion of the proxy holders with respect to any other matters that properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting.
How to Vote Your Shares
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT . Your shares can be voted at the Annual Meeting only if you are represented by proxy, please take the time to vote your proxy.
Stockholders of record, or “registered stockholders,” can vote by proxy in the following three ways:
|
By Telephone : |
|
Call the toll-free number indicated on the enclosed proxy card and follow the recorded instructions. |
|
|
|
|
|
Via the Internet : |
|
Go to the website indicated on the enclosed proxy card and follow the instructions provided. |
|
|
|
|
|
By Mail : |
|
Mark your vote, date, sign and return the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid return envelope provided. |
If your shares are held beneficially in “street” name through a nominee such as a financial institution, brokerage firm, or other holder of record, your vote is controlled by that institution, firm or holder. Your vote by proxy may also be cast by telephone or via the Internet, as well as by mail, if your financial institution or brokerage firm offers such voting alternatives. Please follow the specific instructions provided by your nominee on your voting instruction card.
Please note, that if your shares are held beneficially through a bank, broker or other nominee and you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a proxy issued in your name from the record holder. Should you wish to attend the Annual Meeting virtually, you can join at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ACHV2024 .
Revocability of Proxies
You may revoke or change any previously delivered proxy (including a proxy sent to you by someone other than us) at any time before the Annual Meeting by:
If you hold shares in street name through a broker, bank or other nominee, you must contact that bank, broker or other nominee to revoke any prior voting instructions.
If you receive a proxy from someone other than us, see “Stockholder Nominations” below.
Quorum
The presence, virtually or by proxy, of at least a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding on the record date will constitute a quorum. Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.
5
Votes Required to Approve Matters Presented at the Annual Meeting
Our directors are elected by a plurality of the votes properly cast at the Annual Meeting. Approval of Proposal Two requires a majority of the votes properly cast at the Annual Meeting.
Broker Non-Votes
For banks, brokers or other nominee accounts, they are entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on “routine” matters without instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares. For “non-routine” matters, the beneficial owner of such shares is required to provide instructions to the bank, broker or other nominee in order for them to be entitled to vote the shares held for the beneficial owner. If you hold shares beneficially in street name and do not provide your broker or other agent with voting instructions, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes.” A “broker non-vote” occurs when shares held by a broker that are represented at the meeting are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker has not received voting instructions from its client(s) with respect to such shares on how to vote and does not have or did not exercise discretionary authority to vote on the matter. Your broker, fiduciary or custodian will only be able to vote your shares with respect to proposals considered to be “routine.” Your broker, fiduciary or custodian is not entitled to vote your shares with respect to “non-routine” proposals, which we refer to as a “broker non-vote.” Whether a proposal is considered routine or non-routine is subject to stock exchange rules and final determination by the stock exchange. Even with respect to routine matters, some brokers are choosing not to exercise discretionary voting authority. If a stockholder does not return voting instructions to their broker on how to vote their shares of common stock, such broker may be prevented from voting, or may otherwise choose not to vote, such shares held by such broker, resulting in broker non-votes with respect to such shares. To make sure that your vote is counted, you should instruct your broker to vote your shares of common stock, following the procedures provided by your broker.
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.
Impact on the Vote of Broker Non-Votes, Abstentions and Withholding from Voting
Broker non-votes, abstentions and withholding from voting are counted for purposes of determining whether or not a quorum exists for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. However, broker non-votes, abstentions and withholding from voting, will not be treated as votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal One (election of our directors) and Proposal Two (the ratification of the selection of PwC as our independent public accounting firm).
Solicitation of Proxies
We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies, including preparing, assembling, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement, the proxy card and any additional information furnished to stockholders. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding in their names shares of common stock beneficially owned by others to forward to such beneficial owners. We may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners of common stock for their costs of forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. Original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, telegram, via the Internet or by personal solicitation by our directors, officers or other regular employees. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for such services.
Availability of Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K
Our Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 are available at www.sec.gov and on our website at ir.achievelifesciences.com. We have provided to each stockholder of record as of April 10, 2024 a copy of our consolidated financial statements and related information, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2023. We will mail without charge, upon written request, a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2023, including the consolidated financial statements, schedules and list of exhibits, and any particular exhibit specifically requested.

Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by directors at annual meetings of stockholders, we encourage directors to attend and, historically, most have done so. All of our directors then in office were in attendance at the 2023 annual meeting.
Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board of Directors is required to hold at least four regularly scheduled meetings each year. At least one of these meetings must include budgeting and long-term strategic planning. Each director is expected to attend no fewer than 75% of the total of all meetings of the Board of Directors and meetings of the committees on which he or she serves.
