Item 8.01. Other Events.

iSpecimen Inc. (the “Company”) currently plans to hold its 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”) on July 19, 2024. The Company intends to set the record date for determining the stockholders of record who will be entitled to vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting as the close of business on June 3, 2024. The time and location of the 2024 Annual Meeting will be as set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Because the scheduled date of the 2024 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days after the anniversary of the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, prior disclosed deadlines regarding the submission of stockholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (“Rule 14a-8”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for the 2024 Annual Meeting are no longer applicable. The Company is hereby providing notice of certain revised deadlines for the submission of stockholder proposals in connection with the 2024 Annual Meeting. In order for a stockholder proposal, submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8, to be considered timely for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2024 Annual Meeting, such proposal must be received by the Company by May 27, 2024. The Company has determined that May 27, 2024 is a reasonable time before the Company plans to begin printing and mailing its proxy materials. Therefore, in order for a stockholder to submit a proposal for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2024 Annual Meeting, the stockholder must comply with the requirements set forth in Rule 14a-8, including with respect to the subject matter of the proposal, and must deliver the proposal and all required documentation to the Company no later than May 27, 2024. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting will not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for submitting a proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8.

Generally, timely notice of any director nomination or other proposal that any stockholder intends to present at the 2024 Annual Meeting, but does not seek to have included in the proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8, must be delivered no later than May 27, 2024. The Company has determined that May 27, 2024 is a reasonable time before the Company plans to begin printing and mailing its proxy materials. Therefore, in order for a stockholder to timely submit a director nomination or other proposal that the stockholder intends to present at the 2024 Annual Meeting, the stockholder must deliver the director nomination or proposal to the Company no later than May 27, 2024.

All proposals must be addressed to the Corporate Secretary at “iSpecimen Inc., 450 Bedford Street, Lexington, MA 02420, Attention: Corporate Secretary.”
