Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K amends the Form 8-K originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2025 (the “Original Form 8-K”). At the time of the Original Form 8-K, iSpecimen Inc. (the “Company”) had not yet determined the compensation arrangements for Ms. Katharyn Field, who was appointed as President of the Company on February 19, 2025. This amendment is being filed to disclose the employment agreement entered into with Ms. Field on February 28, 2025. Other than the inclusion of Ms. Field’s employment agreement, this amendment does not modify any other disclosure in the Original Form 8-K.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

This Amendment No. 1 to the Original Form 8-K is being filed by iSpecimen Inc. to disclose the terms of the employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) entered into with Ms. Katharyn Field on February 28, 2025, under which Ms. Field will receive an annual base salary of $240,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll schedule. She will also be eligible to participate in the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan and receive standard fringe benefits available to full-time employees.

The Employment Agreement provides that Ms. Field’s employment is at-will, meaning that either she or the Company may terminate the employment relationship with thirty (30) days’ notice. The foregoing summary of the Employment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Employment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K/A and incorporated herein by reference.
