By conducting our Annual Meeting in person and online via the internet, we believe the Annual Meeting will provide greater access to those stockholders who want to attend and improve our ability to communicate more effectively with our stockholders during the Annual Meeting.

Table of Contents

3. To authorize, for purposes of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d), the reservation and issuance of shares of Common Stock for sale to Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd. (“Hudson Bay”) pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated October 24, 2025 (the “Purchase Agreement”) at a purchase price per share as determined pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (Proposal No. 3).

4. To transact any other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Record Date, Voting Rights and Outstanding Shares

The Board of Directors has fixed April 1, 2026, as the record date for determining the holders of our Common Stock who are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

We have one class of Common Stock issued and outstanding: Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share.

With respect to the matters submitted for a vote at the Annual Meeting, each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. Our Common Stock will vote as a single class on the matters submitted at the Annual Meeting. On April 1, 2026, there were 31,823,985 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Quorum

The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority in voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, entitled to vote, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, at the close of business on April 1, 2026, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, you must instruct the broker how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. This is called a “broker non-vote.” We will count broker non-votes, votes withheld, and abstentions as being present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.

Stockholders of Record and Beneficial Owners

Many of our stockholders hold their shares through a broker, or other nominee, rather than directly in their own names. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between these beneficial owners and stockholders of record described below.

Beneficial Owner

If your shares are held through a broker, or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or the proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker, trustee or nominee together with a voting instruction card. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee or nominee how to vote and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting.

Since a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares at the Annual Meeting, unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting. Your broker, trustee or nominee should provide voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker, trustee or nominee how to vote your shares.

Stockholder of Record

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record, and we are sending the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or the proxy materials directly to you. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to vote in person or virtually at the meeting.

How to Vote

Holders of our Common Stock who do not attend the Annual Meeting may vote their shares electronically via the internet or by telephone or may request printed proxy materials and submit the proxy card enclosed therein by mail.

Table of Contents

Internet and telephone voting are available through 9:29 a.m. CDT on May 29, 2026. Proxy cards sent by mail, if received in time for voting and not revoked, will be voted at the Annual Meeting according to the instructions on the proxy cards. If no instructions are indicated, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted:

• FOR the election of the director nominees named herein;

• FOR the ratification of the appointment of Forvis Mazars, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year;

• FOR the authorization of, for purposes of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d), the reservation and issuance of Shares for sale to Hudson Bay pursuant to the Purchase Agreement at the purchase price per share as determined pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; and

• In accordance with the judgment of the proxy holders as to any other matter that may be properly brought before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments of the Annual Meeting.

Voting of Proxies

If you hold shares of our Common Stock, please refer to the Notice for instructions regarding how to access our proxy materials and vote your shares electronically via the internet or by telephone. The Notice also contains instructions if you would like to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials and vote by mail. You may also vote at the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, it will give you separate instructions for voting your Shares.

Revocability of Proxies

Any stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is exercised. You may revoke the proxy by filing an instrument of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date with our Secretary at our principal executive offices, 2515 McKinney Avenue, Suite 1000, Dallas, TX 75201. You may also revoke your proxy by attending the Annual Meeting, in person or virtually, and voting through the Annual Meeting platform. If you do not revoke your proxy, we will vote the proxy at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated on your proxy card.

Householding of Annual Meeting Materials

As permitted by the SEC, we have adopted a procedure called “householding” to satisfy the rules regarding delivery of proxy materials. This means that unless the Company received contrary instructions only one copy of our Notice or proxy materials may have been sent to multiple stockholders with the same last name in your household. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of any document to you upon oral or written request. Requests may be made by contacting our Secretary at our principal executive offices, 2515 McKinney Avenue, Suite 1000, Dallas, TX 75201 or by phone at 972-499-4934. If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, such bank, broker or nominee will give you separate instructions for householding requests.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, our Board held seven meetings. Each of our directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of our Board and the total number of our Board’s committee meetings for the committee(s) on which that director served during the periods they served.

Leadership Structure. In 2025, Dr. J. Michael DiMaio served as our Chairman of the Board and Chairman of the Office of the Chairman. The Office of the Chairman consisted of the Company’s leadership team, including Vincent Capone, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, Stan Micek, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, Louis Percoco, the Company’s General Manager, and Jeremiah Sparks, the Company’s former Chief Commercialization Officer. On February 9, 2026, the Board dissolved the Office of the Chairman and appointed Vincent Capone as Chief Executive Officer. Dr. DiMaio continues to serve as the Chairman of the Board.

Director Independence. The Board has reviewed the materiality of relationships between the directors and the Company and determined that Messrs. Cotton, Mellish and Sadagopan and Ms. Snyder are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq Listing Rules, based on information known to the Company and on the annual questionnaire completed by each director.

Risk Oversight. The Board is responsible for monitoring the risks that affect the Company, including operational, legal, regulatory, strategic and reputational risks. As part of routine Board meetings, management presents the Board with updates regarding key facets of the Company’s operations. The Board is responsible for assessing risks based on their working knowledge of the Company and the risks inherent in its business. As discussed below, the Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the Company’s financial risk, the Compensation Committee is responsible for monitoring the Company’s compensation risk, the Executive Committee is responsible for monitoring the Company’s enterprise risk, the Science and Technology Committee is responsible for monitoring the Company’s technology, research and development risk, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for monitoring the Company’s governance risk.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee currently consists of Richard Cotton (Chair), Martin Mellish and Marion Snyder. Our Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee satisfies the independence and financial literacy requirements as defined by applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules and SEC rules governing the qualifications of Audit Committee members. Martin Mellish qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules of the SEC and satisfies the financial sophistication requirements under applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Audit Committee assists our Board of Directors in fulfilling its legal and fiduciary obligations in matters involving our accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal compliance functions by approving the services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm and reviewing their reports regarding our accounting practices and systems of internal accounting controls. The Audit Committee also oversees the audit efforts of our independent registered public accounting firm and takes those actions as it deems necessary to satisfy itself that the independent registered public accounting firm is independent of management. The Board has delegated to the Audit Committee the responsibility of monitoring the Company’s financial risks. Any material financial risks identified by the Audit Committee are reported to the full Board. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee currently consists of Martin Mellish (Chair), Richard Cotton and Deepak Sadagopan, each of whom our Board has determined are independent directors under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and SEC rules governing the independence of directors. The Compensation Committee determines our general compensation policies and the compensation provided to our officers and makes recommendations to our Board regarding director compensation. In addition, the Compensation Committee reviews and determines security-based compensation for our directors, officers, employees and consultants and administers our equity incentive plans. Our Compensation Committee also oversees our corporate compensation programs. The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board.

Table of Contents

Executive Committee. The Executive Committee currently consists of Dr. J. Michael DiMaio (Chair), Richard Cotton and Martin Mellish. The Executive Committee shall, during the intervals between meetings of the Board, have all delegable power and authority of the Board regarding the management of the business and affairs of the Company that are not separately delegated to other committees of the Board. In addition, the Executive Committee shall assist the Company in discussing and reviewing all manner of significant financial transactions and related opportunities prior to review and approval or denial by the Board. The Executive Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board.

Science and Technology Committee. The Science and Technology Committee consists of Dr. J. Michael DiMaio (Chair), Deepak Sadagopan and Marion Snyder.

The Science and Technology Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of Dr. J. Michael DiMaio (Chair) and Richard Cotton. Our Board has determined that Mr. Cotton is an independent director under the Nasdaq Listing Rules governing the independence of directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s responsibilities include identifying individuals qualified to become Board members and recommending to the Board the director nominees for the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders, as well as candidates to fill vacancies on the Board. Additionally, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends to the Board the directors to be appointed to Board committees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also developed and recommended to the Board a set of corporate governance guidelines and oversees the effectiveness of our corporate governance in accordance with those guidelines. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board.

To assist in identifying director candidates in the future, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may engage the services of third-party firms. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers director candidates suggested by members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, other directors, management and stockholders. The process followed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to evaluate director candidates, includes evaluating biographical information and background materials relating to potential candidates and interviewing (with Board members) selected candidates.

In considering whether to recommend any candidate for inclusion in the Board’s slate of director nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate the candidate against the standards and qualifications set out in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, including, among others:

• the extent to which the candidate’s skills, experience, and perspective adds to the range of talent appropriate for the Board and whether such attributes are relevant to the needs of our Company;

• the candidate’s ability to dedicate the time and resources sufficient for the diligent performance of Board duties;

• whether the candidate meets the independence requirements under applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules; and

• the extent to which the candidate holds any position that would conflict with responsibilities to the Company.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of the directors, considered as a group, should provide a significant composite mix of experience, knowledge, and abilities that will allow the Board to fulfill its responsibilities.

In identifying nominees for director consideration is given to the diversity of professional experience, education and backgrounds among the directors so that a variety of points of view are represented in Board discussions and deliberations concerning our business.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

Base Salary

We provide each named executive officer with a base salary for the services that the executive officer performs for us. This compensation component constitutes a stable element of compensation while other compensation elements are variable. Base salaries are reviewed annually and may be adjusted based on the individual performance of the named executive officer, company performance, any change in the executive’s position within our business, the scope of their responsibilities and market data.

Short Term Incentives (Annual Bonuses)

We provide annual bonuses to key employees (including our named executive officers) based on certain performance metrics. The amount of such bonuses is determined and paid out on a annual basis.

Table of Contents

Long Term Incentives (Equity Incentive Awards)

In May 2024, we adopted the Spectral AI, Inc. 2023 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”). All previously issued equity awards were converted to the 2023 Plan. The 2023 Plan provides for the discretionary grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, performance shares, performance units, incentive bonus awards, dividend equivalents and other cash-based or stock-based awards to our employees, directors and consultants. We generally award stock options or restricted stock units to key employees (including our named executive officers) for retention, engagement and bonus compensation awards. These awards are designed to align a portion of our named executive officers’ and key employees’ compensation with the interests of our existing stockholders and to build retention value by incentivizing our named executive officers to remain in our service.

Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to the timing of our equity award grants, the majority of our equity awards have historically been granted on an annual basis in the second quarter of the fiscal year. New hire and ad hoc grants may be granted throughout the year. We do not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information and we do not time the release of material nonpublic information based on equity award grant dates or for the purpose of affecting the value of named executive officer compensation.

The 2023 Plan provides that upon a “Change in Control” (as defined therein), our Compensation Committee may accelerate the vesting of options and restricted stock units granted pursuant to the 2023 Plan or make such adjustments to the existing grants as the committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change in Control transaction. Upon the termination of employment of our executive officers, all options granted under the 2023 Plan are required to be exercised within 90 days of termination of such executive’s employment with us or such options will be forfeited and included back in the 2023 Plan.

Health and Retirement Benefits

We provide medical, dental, vision, life insurance and disability benefits to all eligible employees. Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in these benefits on the same basis as all other employees. We maintain a 401(k) savings plan that allows participants, including our named executive officers, to defer cash compensation into the plan up to the maximum annual deferral limit under applicable IRS guidelines. Eligible employees begin to receive benefits on their first day of employment and are fully vested in their salary deferrals. We provide fully vested safe-harbor employer matching contributions equal to 100% of the first 6% of cash compensation deferred into the 401(k) plan by participants for each year.

The 2023 Plan provides that upon a “Change in Control” (as defined therein), our Compensation Committee may accelerate the vesting of options granted pursuant to the 2023 Plan or make such adjustments to the existing grants as the committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change in Control transaction. Upon the termination of employment of our executive officers, all options granted under the 2023 Plan are required to be exercised within 90 days of termination of such executive’s employment with us or such options will be forfeited and included back in the 2023 Plan.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The following is the report of the Audit Committee with respect to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee the Company’s accounting and financial reporting, internal controls, and audit functions. The Audit Committee Charter describes in greater detail the full responsibilities of the committee.

PROPOSAL NO. 2: RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of the Board has appointed Forvis Mazars, LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year. Previously, KPMG LLP served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The dismissal of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is discussed below, under “Other Information-Information Regarding Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.” The appointment of Forvis Mazars, LLP was made on May 29, 2025, effective as of that date. Representatives of Forvis Mazars, LLP are expected to attend the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and will also have the opportunity to make a statement, if they desire.

Detailed disclosure of the audit, audit-related and tax fees we paid to Forvis Mazars, LLP in 2025 is set forth below. Based on these disclosures and information in the Audit Committee Report on page 21 of this proxy statement, our Audit Committee is satisfied that our accountants are sufficiently independent of management to perform their duties properly.

Although not legally required to do so, our Board considers it desirable to seek, and recommends, stockholder ratification of our selection of Forvis Mazars, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year. If the stockholders fail to ratify our selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

Required Vote

The ratification of Forvis Mazars, LLP as our independent public accounting firm will require a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote on this proposal at the meeting. Abstentions, broker non-votes, and votes withheld will not be treated as votes cast for this purpose and will not affect the outcome of the election.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the ratification of Forvis Mazars as the Company’s
independent public accounting firm.

Other Information-Information Regarding Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

As described under Proposal No. 2 above, the Audit Committee of the Board has appointed Forvis Mazars, LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the financial statements of the Company for the 2026 fiscal year.

(b) a lack of adequately designed controls to ensure the proper recording of operating expenses, related accruals and unbilled revenue in the correct period, and (c) financial close process controls which relate to all financial statement accounts not consistently operating effectively or lacking appropriate evidence to ensure that account reconciliations, transactions, and journal entries were performed or reviewed at the appropriate level of precision and on a timely basis. These reportable events were discussed among the Audit Committee and KPMG LLP. KPMG LLP has been authorized by the Company to respond fully to the inquiries of Forvis Mazars, LLP concerning these reportable events.

We provided KPMG LLP with a copy of the disclosures in the Form 8-K prior to filing the Form 8-K. We requested that KPMG LLP furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stated that the statements made by us regarding KPMG LLP in the Form 8-K and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of KPMG LLP’s letter dated June 2, 2025 to the SEC stating that it generally agrees with the statements made in the Form 8-K was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Form 8-K filed on June 3, 2025.

PROPOSAL NO. 3: APPROVAL OF THE RESERVATION OF SHARES

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to approve the reservation and issuance of up to an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Hudson Bay pursuant to purchases under the Purchase Agreement (the “Hudson Bay Transaction”), as required by and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).

Overview

On October 22, 2025, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with Hudson Bay for the sale of 3,065,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”), at an offering price of $1.90 per Share (such transaction, the “Offering”).

Additionally, in a concurrent private placement pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to Hudson Bay (i) warrants (each a “Warrant and collectively, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, and (ii) pre-funded warrants (each a “Pre-Funded Warrant” and collectively, the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 935,000 shares of our Common Stock. Each Warrant has an exercise price per share of $2.51, will exercisable on the earlier of (a) the effective date of stockholder approval (the “Stockholder Approval”) for the issuance of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants (the “Stockholder Approval Date”) and (b) the date that is six months following the issuance date of the Warrants (the earlier of the dates specified in (a) and (b), the “Initial Exercise Date”) and will have a term of five (5) years from the initial issuance date. Each Pre-Funded Warrant has a purchase price of $1.8999, an exercise price per share of $0.0001, is exercisable immediately and may be exercised at any time until such Pre-Funded Warrant is exercised in full. The Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants, along with the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants, were offered pursuant to the exemptions provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants

The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of Common Stock, will be exercisable upon issuance and will expire when exercised in full. At any time, the holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the Pre-Funded Warrants through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder receives upon such exercise the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrants.

The exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrants, and the number of shares issuable pursuant to the Pre-Funded Warrants, will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend or split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, as described in the Pre-Funded Warrants.

A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of such warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage up to 9.99%, provided that any increase will not be effective until the 61st day after the election.

In the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as such term is defined in the Pre-Funded Warrants), the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for the Company, and may exercise every right and power that the Company may exercise and will assume all of its obligations under the Pre-Funded Warrants with the same effect as if the successor entity had been named in the warrant itself. If holders of Common Stock are given a choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the holder will be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants following the Fundamental Transaction.

Except as otherwise provided in the Pre-Funded Warrants or by virtue of such holders’ ownership of shares of Common Stock, the holder of Pre-Funded Warrants will not have the rights or privileges of a holder of Common Stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the Pre-Funded Warrants.

Table of Contents

Terms of the Warrants

The Warrants have an exercise price of $2.51 per share of Common Stock and will be exercisable commencing on the Initial Exercise Date and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the issuance dates of the Warrants. The Company has agreed to obtain Stockholder Approval at the next meeting of stockholders with the recommendation of the Company’s Board that such proposal be approved. If the Company does not obtain Stockholder Approval by June 1, 2026, the Company will call a meeting every 90 days thereafter to seek Stockholder Approval until the date Stockholder Approval is obtained.

If at any time after the Stockholder Approval Date, a registration statement registering the issuance of the Common Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is not effective or available, the holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the Warrants through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in the Warrants.

The exercise price of the Warrants, and the number of Warrant Shares, will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend or split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, as described in the Warrants.

A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage up to 9.99%, provided that any increase will not be effective until the 61st day after the election.

In the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as such term is defined in the Warrants), the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for the Company, and may exercise every right and power that the Company may exercise and will assume all of its obligations under the Warrants with the same effect as if the successor entity had been named in the warrant itself. If holders of Common Stock are given a choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the holder will be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of the Warrants following the Fundamental Transaction. In addition, the successor entity, at the request of holders of Warrants, will be obligated to purchase any unexercised portion of the Warrants in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the holders of the Warrants have the right to require the Company or a successor entity to redeem the Warrants for cash in the amount of the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Warrants) of the unexercised portion of the Warrants concurrently with or within thirty (30) days following the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction. However, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction that is not in the Company’s control, including a Fundamental Transaction not approved by the Company’s board of directors, the holders of the Warrants will only be entitled to receive from the Company or its successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of the Warrant that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration is in the form of cash, stock or any combination of cash and stock, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction.

Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of Common Stock, the holder of Warrants will not have the rights or privileges of a holder of Common Stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the Warrants

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants, the Company may issue up to 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the ability to issue up to 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Hudson Bay pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company will not issue more than 5,522,016 shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Cap”) unless the Company receives the consent of its stockholders as the Exchange Cap represents approximately 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement.

The sale and issuance of the Shares was made pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (file number 333-282681) (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 16, 2024 and declared effective on October 31, 2024, and the Company’s prospectus supplement relating to the Offering, which was filed with the SEC on October 23, 2025, that forms part of the Registration

Table of Contents

Statement. The issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants were registered pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (file number 333-291173) (the “Resale Registration Statement”), filed with the SEC on October 30, 2025 and became effective on November 19, 2025 pursuant to Section 8(a) under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder.

Reasons for the Financing

We believe that the Hudson Bay Transaction provides additional sources of capital to the Company. The proceeds that we have received, and will receive in the future, from the Hudson Bay Transaction allow the Company to fund its business operations. We believe that the Hudson Bay Transaction is a natural progression for the Company and is attractive relative to other alternatives. We remain focused on creating long-term value for our stockholders, and the Hudson Bay Transaction will allow us to be strategic in how we access and deploy capital primarily in support of the ongoing commercialization and development of our AI-driven DeepView® System.

Reasons for the Stockholder Approval

Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and as a result, we are subject to the Nasdaq Listing Rules. In order to comply with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we are seeking stockholder approval of this proposal to potentially sell additional shares of Common Stock above the Exchange Cap as is available pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) in an amount equal to 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance at a price less than the “Minimum Price”. The Minimum Price is defined as the lower of (i) the closing price of the common stock immediately preceding the signing of the sale agreement or (ii) the average closing price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the sale agreement.

Accordingly, we are seeking stockholder approval under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) for the sale, issuance or potential issuance by us of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for our Common Stock) in excess of 20% of the shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the CEF at an exercise price less than the Minimum Price in connection with the Purchase Agreement.

Consequences of Not Approving this Proposal

The Board is not seeking the approval of our stockholders to authorize our entry into the Hudson Bay Transaction. The Purchase Agreement has already been executed and delivered, and the closing of the Hudson Bay Transaction has occurred. The failure of our stockholders to approve this proposal will mean that the Company shall convene subsequent stockholder meetings no less frequently than once every 90 days until such time as the stockholder approval is obtained or the Warrants are no longer outstanding. The Company shall incur the cost of hosting subsequent stockholder meetings.

Potential Adverse Effects of Approving this Proposal

If approved, this proposal will provide for the issuance of up to an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Hudson Bay. The issuance of shares of Common Stock to Hudson Bay will dilute the percentage ownership interest of all stockholders, will dilute the book value per share of the Common Stock and will increase the number of the Company’s outstanding shares, which could depress the market price of the Common Stock.

Vote Required

To be approved by the stockholders, the proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the reservation and issuance of up to an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Hudson Bay pursuant to purchases under the Purchase Agreement as required by and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Other Matters

The Board is unaware of any business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting other than the matters described in the Notice to Stockholders. If other business is properly presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting, the enclosed proxy authorizes the persons named therein to vote the shares in their discretion on that matter.

Employee, Officer and Director Hedging

Other than its insider trading policy, which prohibits purchases and sales of its securities and related derivative securities while in possession of material non-public information, the Company does not have any policies that prevent employees (including officers) or directors from purchasing financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds), or otherwise engaging in hedging transactions related to the Company’s equity securities.

Communications from Stockholders

The Board will give appropriate attention to written communications submitted by stockholders, and will respond if and as appropriate.

Communications specifically addressed to a particular director will be forwarded to that director.

Communications will be forwarded to all directors if they relate to substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that the Chair of the Audit Committee considers to be important for the directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to personal grievances or duplicative communications.
