Please go ahead, Shahin. Perfect pronunciation.

Shahin BehroyanChair

Thank you very much. Good morning, everyone. It is 10:00 A.M. Eastern Time, and I am pleased to call to order the 2026 special meeting of stockholders of iSpecimen, Inc., a Delaware corporation. My name is Shahin Behroyan, and I will serve as today's Chair of the Meeting. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the management team, I welcome and thank you for joining us. This meeting is held entirely online through Broadridge's virtual meeting platform. Holders of the record of our common stock as of close of business on August 12, 2026, the record date, are entitled to notice of and to vote in this meeting. Each share of the common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter as presented today. Joining me today are members of the iSpecimen Board of Directors and management team. Also with us is Benjamin Sklar.

Shahin BehroyanChair

Sklar, did I pronounce that right? He will act as the Secretary of the Meeting and record today's proceedings. Kevin Chow of Broadridge has been appointed Inspector of the Election in today's meeting and will tabulate the votes and certify the results. The rules of the conduct of this meeting are posted on the meeting website. In the interest of the orderly and efficient meeting, there will not be a live question segment today. As described in the proxy statement, stockholders will be invited and submitted questions in advance through the question for the management feature at www.proxyvote.com. No audio or video recording of this meeting will be permitted.

Shahin BehroyanChair

Broadridge, a proxy and tabulation agent, has provided an affidavit confirming that on or before September 14, 2026, a notice of the internet availability from proxy materials, the notice of proxy materials, the notice of special meeting of stockholders, and the proxy and the statement were mailed or made available to stockholders of the record, of the close of business on August 12, 2026. This affidavit will be filed within the minutes of the meeting. As of record date, there will be 2,518,590 shares of common stock issued, outstanding, and entitled to a vote. Under our third amended and restated bylaws, the holders of 34% of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote, presented in person and represented by proxy, constitute a quorum. The presentation of the broker non-votes count as a present for the purpose of determining a quorum.

Shahin BehroyanChair

The Inspector of the Election has advised me that the holders of the 1,287,547 shares of common stock, representing approximately 51.12% of the 2,518,590 shares outstanding and entitled to vote are present online and represented by proxy. I therefore declare that a quorum is present and this meeting will be duly convened and ready to transact for business. We will now proceed with the formal business of the meeting. The purpose of the special meeting is to consider and vote upon five proposals described in the proxy statement, which have made available to all the stockholders. I will present each proposal in order, and I will note the vote required to approve it. Stockholders of the record who have already voted by proxy do not need to vote again. Stockholders of a record participating online who have their 16-digit control number may vote or change a previously submitted vote.

Shahin BehroyanChair

Through the meeting website until the polls close on each proposal, the beneficial owners holding the shares in the street name should follow the instructions provided by their bank, broker, or other nominee. If you submitted a single proxy without voting instructions, the proxy holders will vote your shares as recommended by the board. A brief note on broker non-votes. Proposal 1, 3, and 4 are non-routine matters, so brokers may not vote uninstructed shares on them. Proposal 2, the reverse stock split proposal, and Proposal 5, the adjournment proposal, are generally considered routine matters in which brokers may vote on uninstructed shares.
