Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 27, 2023, Spectral AI, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a contract (the “BARDA Contract”) with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”). BARDA is a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response. Under the BARDA Contract, the Company will receive an award to support the advanced development of the DeepView® System, the Company’s AI-driven burn wound imaging technology, to be used at emergency departments, trauma centers and burn centers, for both routine burn care and as a medical countermeasure for use in burn mass casualty incidents.

The BARDA Contract could result in payments to the Company of up to approximately $149 million. The BARDA Contract consists of an initial base period and option periods that BARDA may exercise, subject to the Company achieving specified milestones and deliverables. Together with the Company’s previously awarded BARDA contracts, the BARDA Contract brings the total support from BARDA to nearly $251 million.

The BARDA Contract contains terms and conditions that are customary for government contracts of this nature, including provisions giving the government the right to terminate the contract at any time for its convenience.

The foregoing is a brief description of the material terms of the BARDA Contract and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the BARDA Contract, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2023.
