Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc. (CELZ) will hold its 2026 annual meeting on December 28, 2026. Stockholders will vote on five director nominees, an advisory vote on executive compensation, ratification of Haynie & Company for 2026, and an amendment to the 2021 Equity Plan. Subject to stockholder approval, the amendment would automatically add reserved shares each January 1 from 2027 through 2031. Under its proposed terms, each addition is capped at the lesser of 5% of shares outstanding on an as-converted, fully diluted basis at the prior year-end or the number set by the Compensation Committee. The plan had 48,818 shares available as of December 31, 2025.

On September 24, 2026, CELZ purchased 4,000,000 BioDefense shares from Creative Acquisition Corp. for $200,000 in cash and 1,000,000 CELZ shares, bringing its BioDefense ownership to 80%. CELZ's net loss was $5,995,008 in 2025, compared with $5,493,481 in 2024. The Board unanimously recommends voting FOR the four named proposals.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Evergreen Provision technical
"implementing the Evergreen Provision"
An evergreen provision is a clause in a financing or contract that automatically renews or replenishes the arrangement unless one party actively cancels it, like a subscription that keeps renewing each term. For investors it matters because it creates predictable, ongoing access to funding or ongoing contractual obligations — helping liquidity and planning — but can also hide long-term commitments or dilution risks if not reviewed.
say-on-pay regulatory
"commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal"
A say-on-pay is a shareholder vote that gives investors a chance to approve or disapprove a company’s executive compensation packages, typically held at annual meetings. It matters because the vote signals investor satisfaction with how leaders are paid—like customers rating how well managers are rewarded—and can push boards to change pay plans, reducing governance risk and affecting investor confidence and stock value even though the vote is usually advisory rather than legally binding.
original issue discount financial
"included an original issue discount of $6,000"
Original issue discount (OID) is the difference between a debt security’s face value and the lower price at which it is first sold, treated as additional interest that accrues over the life of the instrument. For investors it matters because OID raises the effective yield and changes taxable income and the holding’s cost basis over time — think of buying a $100 voucher for $90 and recognizing the $10 gain as earned interest as the voucher approaches maturity.
as-converted, fully-diluted basis financial
"on an as-converted, fully-diluted basis"
broker non-votes regulatory
"resulting in broker non-votes"
Broker non-votes occur when a brokerage firm is unable to vote on a shareholder’s behalf during a company election or decision because the shareholder has not given specific voting instructions, and the broker is not allowed or chooses not to vote on certain matters. They are important because they can affect the outcome of votes, especially when the results are close, by effectively reducing the total number of votes cast.
Name Total Compensation
Timothy Warbington $653,000
Donald Dickerson $530,000
Say-on-Pay Result Advisory, nonbinding vote on named executive officer compensation.
Key Proposals
  • Election of five directors
  • Advisory approval of named executive officer compensation
  • Ratification of Haynie & Company as independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026
  • Amendment to the 2021 Equity Plan implementing an evergreen provision

Q:

Who may vote at the Annual Meeting?

 

 

A:

Stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 30, 2026 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to receive notice of, to attend, and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 7,591,955 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding, held by approximately 75 holders of record.

 

 

Q:

How many votes do I have?

 

 

A:

For each proposal, you have one vote for each share of Common Stock you owned as of the Record Date.

 

 

Q:

What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?

 

 

A:

The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by holders of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon is required for the election of directors; only votes “FOR” or “WITHHELD” will affect the outcome. A plurality vote means that the directors who receive the most votes in an election, though not necessarily a majority, will be elected.

 

 

For Proposal 2 concerning executive compensation, Proposal 3 to ratify the selection of Haynie & Company, Proposal 4 to implement the Evergreen Provision and any proposal to adjourn the Annual Meeting or other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting, the affirmative vote from holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present and entitled to vote thereon either in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be required.

 

 

For Proposals 2, 3 and 4, a properly marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to any such matter will not be voted, although it will be counted for purposes of determining the number of shares represented and entitled to vote in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

 

 

Q:

How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the Annual Meeting?

 

 

A:

At the Annual Meeting, the presence in person or by proxy of one-third of the aggregate voting power of the Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required for the Annual Meeting to proceed. If you have returned valid proxy instructions or attend the Annual Meeting, your shares of Common Stock will be counted for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum, even if you wish to abstain from voting on some or all matters at the meeting.

 

 

Q:

If I am a stockholder of record, how do I vote?

 

 

A:

If you are a stockholder of record, there are four ways to vote:

   

 

 

·

At the Annual Meeting. You may vote in person at the Annual Meeting if you are the record owner of the shares to be voted. You can also vote in person at the Annual Meeting if you present a properly signed proxy that authorizes you to vote shares on behalf of the record owner.

Table of Contents

  

Q:

If I am a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, how do I vote?

A:

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you should have received from your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee instructions on how to vote or instruct the broker to vote your shares, which are generally contained in a “vote instruction form” sent by the broker, bank, trustee or other nominee. Please follow their instructions carefully. Street name stockholders generally may vote by one of the following methods:

 

 

·

At the Annual Meeting. If you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from the organization that holds your shares. Please contact that organization for instructions regarding obtaining a legal proxy to you by your broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee.

 

 

 

 

·

Via the Internet. You may vote by proxy via the Internet by following the instruction form provided to you by your broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee.

 

 

 

 

·

By Telephone. You may vote by proxy by calling the toll-free number found on the vote instruction form provided to you by your broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee.

 

 

 

 

·

By Mail. You may vote by proxy by filling out the vote instruction form and returning it in the envelope provided to you by your broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee.

 

 

 

 

  

Q:

What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a beneficial owner of shares held in street name?

 

 

A:

Stockholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, vStock Transfer, LLC, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and the Notice or these proxy materials were sent directly to you by us.

 

 

Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name,” and the Notice or these proxy materials were forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct that organization on how to vote the shares held in your account.

 

 

Q:

How may my brokerage firm or other intermediary vote my shares if I fail to provide timely directions?

 

 

A:

Brokerage firms and other intermediaries holding shares of our Common Stock in street name for their customers are generally required to vote such shares in the manner directed by their customers. In the absence of timely directions, your broker will have discretion to vote your shares on the proposal to ratify the appointment of Haynie & Company, as our independent registered public accounting firm. Your broker will not have discretion to vote on our other proposals, all of which are “non-routine” matters, absent direction from you, resulting in broker non-votes.

 

 

Q:

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

 

 

A:

You may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time prior to the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting.

 

 
4

Table of Contents

 

 

If you are the stockholder of record, you may change your vote by (1) granting a new proxy bearing a later date (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy) using any of the methods described above (and until the applicable deadline for each method), (2) providing a written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary at Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc., 211 E Osborn Road, Phoenix, AZ 85012 prior to your shares being voted, or (3) attending the Annual Meeting and voting at the Annual Meeting. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request or vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

 

 

 

For shares you hold beneficially in street name, you generally may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank, trustee, or nominee following the instructions they provided, or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank, trustee, or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the Annual Meeting and voting during the meeting.

 

 

Q:

If I submit a proxy, how will it be voted?

 

 

A:

When proxies are properly dated, executed, and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If no specific instructions are given, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors as described above. If any matters not described in the Proxy Statement are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your shares. If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned, the proxy holders can vote your shares on the new meeting date as well, unless you have revoked your proxy instructions, as described below under “Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?”

 

 

Q:

How are proxies solicited for the Annual Meeting?

 

 

A:

Our Board of Directors is soliciting proxies for use at the Annual Meeting. All expenses associated with this solicitation will be borne by us. We may, on request, reimburse brokers or other nominees for reasonable expenses that they incur in sending our proxy materials to you if a broker, bank, or other nominee holds shares of our Common Stock on your behalf. In addition, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Our directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies.

 

 

Q:

What should I do if I get more than one proxy or voting instruction card?

 

 

A:

Stockholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of the proxy materials and multiple Notices, proxy cards, or voting instruction cards. For example, stockholders who hold shares in more than one brokerage account may receive separate sets of proxy materials for each brokerage account in which shares are held. Stockholders of record whose shares are registered in more than one name will receive more than one set of proxy materials or one Notice. You should vote in accordance with all of the proxy cards and voting instruction cards you receive relating to our Annual Meeting to ensure that all of your shares are counted.

 

 

Q:

I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?

 

 

A:

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process is commonly referred to as “householding.”

 

 

 

A single set of proxy materials may be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you notify your broker or us that you no longer wish to participate in householding.

 

 
5

Table of Contents

 

 

If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, you may (1) notify your broker, or (2) direct your written request to: Corporate Secretary, Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc., 211 E Osborn Road, Phoenix, AZ 85012. Stockholders who receive multiple copies of the proxy statement or annual report at their address and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their broker. In addition, we will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request to the address or telephone number above, a separate copy of the Annual Report and Proxy Statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered.

 

 

Q:

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

 

 

A:

We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will also disclose voting results on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

 

 

Q:

What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders or to nominate individuals to serve as directors?

 

 

A:

Stockholder Proposals: Stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at our next annual meeting of stockholders by submitting their proposals in writing to our Corporate Secretary in a timely manner. For a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for our 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our Corporate Secretary must receive the written proposal at our principal executive offices no later July 13, 2027. If we hold our 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders more than 30 days before or after December 28, 2027 (the one-year anniversary date of the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders), we will disclose the new deadline by which stockholders proposals must be received in a press release or under Item 5 of Part II of our earliest possible Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or a Current Report on Form 8-K. In addition, stockholder proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and related SEC regulations under Rule 14a-8 regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials.

Each executive officer serves at the discretion of our Board of Directors and holds office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. Except as set forth above, there are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

 

Director Independence

 

Our Board of Directors currently consists of five directors, three of whom are “independent” as defined under the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market because they are not employees or executive officers of ours, and have not been paid more than $120,000 of compensation by us in any consecutive 12-month period during the past three years. Timothy Warbington, our Chief Executive Officer, and Donald Dickerson, our Chief Financial Officer, are not independent directors due to their employment by us as executive officers.

 

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

 

Our Board of Directors focuses on the most significant risks facing us and our general risk management strategy, and also ensuring that risks undertaken by us are consistent with the Board’s appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our company’s risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing us and that our Board leadership structure supports this approach.

 

Our Board of Directors does not currently have a policy as to whether the roles of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer should be separate or combined. Currently, Mr. Warbington serves as both our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, and we do not currently have a Lead Director. Given the current size of our Board of Directors and our company, as well as Mr. Warbington’s history and intimacy with our company, and the effective oversight role played by our independent directors, we believe our current board structure is appropriate for us and our shareholders. Our Board of Directors may in the future reassess our board structure to ensure the interests of our stockholders are best served.

Board Meetings and Director Communications

 

In 2025, the Board of Directors held five meetings and each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors held during the period for which he or she has been a director and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board of Directors on which he or she served during the periods that he or she served. We have no formal policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings.

 

Stockholders and other interested parties may communicate with the non-management members of the Board of Directors by mail sent to the Company’s Corporate Secretary, addressed to the intended recipient and care of the Corporate Secretary. The Corporate Secretary will review all incoming stockholder communications (except for mass mailings, job inquiries, business solicitations and patently offensive or otherwise inappropriate material) and route such communications as appropriate to member(s) of the Board of Directors. For a more detailed description of stockholder communications, see “Communications with Our Board of Directors.”

 

Considerations in Evaluating Director Nominees

 

Our corporate governance and nominating committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director nominees. In its evaluation of director candidates, our corporate governance and nominating committee will consider the current size and composition of our Board of Directors and the needs of our Board of Directors and the respective committees of our Board of Directors. Some of the qualifications that our corporate governance and nominating committee considers include, without limitation: issues of character, integrity, and judgment; independence; diversity, including diversity of experience; experience in corporate management, operations, finance, business development, and mergers and acquisitions; experience relevant to the Company’s industry; experience as a board member or executive officer of another publicly held company; length of service; and any other relevant qualifications, attributes, or skills. Nominees also must have the ability to offer advice and guidance to our Chief Executive Officer based on past experience. Director candidates must have sufficient time available in the judgment of our corporate governance and nominating committee to perform all Board of Directors responsibilities and responsibilities of those committees on which they serve.

 

Members of our Board of Directors are expected to prepare for, attend, and participate in all Board of Directors and applicable committee meetings. Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although our corporate governance and nominating committee may also consider such other factors as it may deem, from time to time, are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

 

The policy of our corporate governance and nominating committee is to consider properly submitted stockholder recommendations for candidates for membership on the Board. In evaluating such recommendations, the corporate governance and nominating committee will address the membership criteria set forth above.

Table of Contents

  

Although our Board of Directors does not maintain a specific policy with respect to board diversity, our Board of Directors believes that it should be a diverse body, and our corporate governance and nominating committee considers a broad range of backgrounds and experiences. In making determinations regarding nominations of directors, our corporate governance and nominating committee may take into account the benefits of diverse viewpoints. Our corporate governance and nominating committee also considers these and other factors as it oversees the annual Board of Directors and committee evaluations. After completing its review and evaluation of director candidates, our corporate governance and nominating committee recommends to our full Board of Directors the director nominees for selection.

Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid, and Cumulative Total Shareholder Return and Net Income and Loss

 

As presented in the table above, the compensation actually paid to our Named Executive Officers is not correlated with total shareholder return or net income (loss). While total compensation actually paid to our Named Executive Officers increased from 2023 to 2024, and from 2024 to 2025, our total shareholder return increased during 2023 but decreased in each subsequent year, while our net loss increased from 2023 to 2024, and from 2024 to 2025. As a biotechnology company focused on the development of novel biological therapeutics, we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and do not use (or expect to use) net income (loss) or shareholder return as performance measures in our executive compensation programs.

$200,000, upon completion of the IRB clinical trial.

 

 

o

$300,000 in the event we commercialize the technology via use of autologous cells by a physician without a clinical trial.

·

In the event we determine to pursue the technology via use of allogenic cells, we are required to pay CMH:

 

o

$100,000 upon filing an IND with the FDA.

 

o

$200,000 upon dosing of the first patient in a Phase 1-2 clinical trial.

o

$400,000 upon dosing the first patient in a Phase 3 clinical trial.

 

·

Each payment may be made in cash or shares of our common at a discount of 30% to the recent trading price.

We paid CMH the $100,000 obligation of the initial payment due under this agreement, by a $50,000 cash payment and the issuance of 6,667 shares of Common Stock on December 12, 2019. On December 31, 2019, following our announcement with respect to the clinical commercialization of the StemSpine technology, we paid CMH $50,000 of the $300,000 obligation due under this agreement through the issuance of 133 shares of Common Stock. On September 30, 2020 we paid CMH an additional $40,000 of the $300,000 obligation due under this agreement through the issuance of 84,656 shares of Common Stock, and in January 2021 we paid CMH an additional $50,000 of the $300,000 obligation due under this agreement through the issuance of 89,286 shares of Common Stock. The remaining portion of the $300,000 obligation has been paid in cash. In August 2023, we paid CMH $100,000 related to the filing of an IND with the FDA per the terms of the agreement.

 

Research and Development Purchase

 

On December 15, 2022, we purchased a set of components referred to as “research tools” for $5,000,000 from Narkeshyo LLC, an entity a former director and current consultant of ours is affiliated with, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement between the Company and Narkeshyo. Some of the acquired research tools were originally developed by the former director and current consultant. Under the terms of the agreement, we made an initial payment to Narkeshyo in the amount of $2,000,000 upon execution of the agreement, with the remaining amounts to be paid at various times through March 15, 2023, which were made as scheduled. Upon execution of the agreement, we recorded $5,000,000 as research and development expenses.

The vision and pipeline of the Company is based on robust and thorough development of its biological platforms, therapies and products. This acquisition of the research tools aligned with the Company’s priority of advancing and augmenting its suite of cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) cellular therapy products. The Company believes that the acquired research tools will allow it to protect its intellectual property while complying with regulatory requirements, and accelerate product development. The information contained in the research tools will not only be used to support and fast-track the Company’s regulatory filings (such as IND, NDA, ANDA and export applications), but also, provide clinical and regulatory support to potential partners and collaborators without having to divulge trade secrets and know-how.

 

A third-party analysis of this acquisition concluded it would accelerate development time by 3-5 years and result in a substantial reduction in the Company’s research and development expenses over the long term.

 

The purchased tools included (but were not limited to):

 

 

·

Toxicology

 

·

Screening

 

·

Preclinical Testing

 

·

Assays

 

·

Authorization

 

·

Tools of Biological Transaction

Bionance Initiative

 

The Company is the principal member of Bionance LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Bionance”), formed for the purpose of making investments in the securities of publicly traded companies (“Investments”). On October 1, 2025, following the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company and Timothy Warbington, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, entered into Bionance’s Operating Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company and Mr. Warbington committed to make up to $500,000 and $100,000 of capital contributions, respectively, to Bionance, to fund Investments. The Managing Member of Bionance, Bionance Management LLC, is owned in equal parts by Mr. Warbington, Donald Dickerson, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and Dr. Amit Patel, a consultant to the Company. The Managing Member is entitled to 30% of all distributions made by Bionance after Bionance’s other members have received the return of 100% of their capital contributions to Bionance. Bionance has no members other than the Company, Mr. Warbington and Bionance Management LLC. As of December 31, 2025, Mr. Warbington contributed $10,000 to Bionance.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, Bionance purchased a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) issued by a third party (the “Issuer”). The Note has a face principal amount of $60,000 of which $50,500 were the net proceeds to the third party. This included an original issue discount (“OID”) of $6,000 and other costs of $3,500. The Note was issued on November 10, 2025 and matures 12 months from issuance (November 10, 2026). The Note provides for a 12% interest amount that is earned as of issuance and includes default interest of 16% per annum on amounts past due.

 

The Note is convertible, at the Company’s option, into shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The conversion price is based on a discount to the Issuer’s trading price, defined as 65% of the lowest traded price during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The Note also includes customary protective provisions and remedies, including (i) penalties for failure to timely deliver conversion shares, (ii) limited optional prepayment by the Issuer during the first 181 days after issuance subject to increasing prepayment premiums, and (iii) an accelerated “default amount” payable upon an event of default.

Investment in SPAC Sponsor

 

In February, 2026, following the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company contributed $125,000 to the capital of Creative Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), as an investment in the Sponsor. The Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company formed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for the purpose of acting as the sponsor of a proposed special purpose acquisition company (the “SPAC”) that would conduct a public offering and thereafter seek to effect a merger or other business combination with an acquisition target. Following its formation, the Sponsor’s only members were the Company and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has invested $125,000 of his personal funds in the Sponsor. Both the SPAC and Sponsor have conducted limited organizing activities, and the SPAC is no longer pursuing an initial public offering. Accordingly, in September 2026, the Sponsor returned the $125,000 capital contribution to the Company in exchange for the cancellation of the Company’s interest in the Sponsor.

 

BioDefense Stock Purchase

 

On September 24, 2026, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Creative Acquisition Corp. (“CAC”), pursuant to which we purchased 4,000,000 shares of common stock of BioDefense, Inc. from CAC for an aggregate purchase price consisting of $200,000 in cash and 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. After giving effect to the transactions under the Purchase Agreement, we own 16,000,000 shares of BioDefense common stock, constituting 80% of the outstanding shares of common stock of BioDefense, and CAC owns 4,000,000 shares of BioDefense common stock, constituting 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of BioDefense. Timothy Warbington, our President and Chief Executive Officer, is also the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CAC and indirectly owns all of its outstanding shares of capital stock.

 

Related-Person Transactions Policy and Procedures

 

We have a written Related-Person Transactions Policy that sets forth the Company’s policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of “related-persons transactions.” For purposes of our policy only, a “related-person transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which the Company and any “related person” are participants involving an amount that exceeds $25,000. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to the Company as an employee, director, consultant or similar capacity by a related person are not covered by this policy. A related person is any executive officer, director, or more than 5% stockholder of the Company, including any of their immediate family members, and any entity owned or controlled by such persons.

 

Under the policy, where a transaction has been identified as a related-person transaction, management must present information regarding the proposed related-person transaction to the Audit Committee (or, where Audit Committee approval would be inappropriate, to another independent body of the Board) for consideration and approval or ratification. The presentation must include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the interests, direct and indirect, of the related persons, the benefits to the Company of the transaction and whether any alternative transactions were available. To identify related-person transactions in advance, the Company relies on information supplied by its executive officers and directors. In considering related-person transactions, the Committee takes into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including, but not limited to (a) the risks, costs and benefits to the Company, (b) the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated, (c) the terms of the transaction, (d) the availability of other sources for comparable services or products, and (e) the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from employees generally. In the event a director has an interest in the proposed transaction, the director must recuse himself or herself form the deliberations and approval. The policy requires that, in determining whether to approve, ratify or reject a related-person transaction, the Committee look at, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, as the Committee determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of October 30, 2026, based on 7,591,955 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of such date, by:

 

 

·

each person, or group of affiliated persons, who we know to beneficially own more than 5% of our Common Stock;

 

·

each of our named executive officers;

 

·

each of our directors and director nominees; and

 

·

all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

 

Information with respect to beneficial ownership has been furnished by each director, officer or beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Common Stock. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities. In addition, the rules include shares of our Common Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

COMMUNICATIONS WITH OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

Interested parties who wish to communicate with our Board of Directors or any specified individual director, including our non-employee directors, may send their communications in writing to the Corporate Secretary at Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc., 211 E Osborn Road, Phoenix, AZ 85012, Attn: Corporate Secretary. The Corporate Secretary shall review all incoming communications (except for mass mailings, job inquiries, business solicitations and patently offensive or otherwise inappropriate material) and, if appropriate, route such communications to the appropriate member(s) of the Board of Directors or, if none is specified, to the Chair of the Board.

 

The Corporate Secretary may decide in the exercise of his or her judgment whether a response to any communication is necessary and shall provide a report to the corporate governance and nominating committee on a quarterly basis of any communications received for which the Corporate Secretary has either responded or determined no response is necessary.

 

This procedure for communications with the non-management directors is administered by the Company’s corporate governance and nominating committee. This procedure does not apply to (a) communications to non-employee directors from officers or directors of the Company who are stockholders, or (b) stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

 

PROPOSAL ONE: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

 

Our Board of Directors has nominated five candidates for election as director for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders. All of the nominees are currently members of our Board. Directors are elected to serve for their respective terms of one year or until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified. The Board has no reason to believe that any of the nominees named below will be unavailable, or if elected, will decline to serve.

 

Pursuant to our Bylaws, generally the number of directors is fixed and may be increased or decreased from time to time by resolution of our Board. The Board has fixed the number of directors at five members. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named. In the event one or more of the named nominees is unable to serve, the persons designated as proxies may cast votes for other persons as substitute nominees.

 

Nominees

 

Our corporate governance and nominating committee of the Board of Directors recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, Timothy Warbington, Donald Dickerson, Michael H. Finger, Susan Snow and Bruce S. Urdang as nominees for re-election to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting.

 

Please see “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance” in this Proxy Statement for information concerning the nominees.

 

Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them FOR Timothy Warbington, Donald Dickerson, Michael H. Finger, Susan Snow and Bruce S. Urdang. If a nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for another nominee designated by the Board of Directors. We are not aware of any reason that a nominee would be unable or unwilling to serve as a director.

 

Required Vote

 

Each director is elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

 

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the re-election of each of Timothy Warbington, Donald Dickerson, Michael H. Finger, Susan Snow and Bruce S. Urdang to the Board of Directors.

PROPOSAL TWO: ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), our stockholders are entitled to vote to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with the SEC’s rules. Please read the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement for additional details about our executive compensation program.

 

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our named executive officer compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we will ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

 

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.”

 

We believe that our compensation policies and procedures are intended to be aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders. The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the compensation committee or the Board. However, the Board and compensation committee value the opinions of our stockholders, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns, and the compensation committee will consider the results of this vote in making determinations in the future regarding executive compensation arrangements.

 

Required Vote

 

Assuming that a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present and entitled to vote thereon either in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

 

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the approval, on a nonbinding advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers.

PROPOSAL FOUR: APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR 2021 EQUITY PLAN

 

 IMPLEMENTING THE EVERGREEN PROVISION

 

We are seeking stockholder approval of an amendment to our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) to implement an evergreen provision (the “Evergreen Provision”) by which the number of reserved shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Equity Plan will automatically increase on January 1, 2027 and on each subsequent January 1 through and including January 1, 2031, by up to 5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year (the “Equity Plan Amendment”). A copy of the proposed Equity Plan Amendment is attached hereto as Annex A.

 

When we adopted the Equity Plan in September 2021, the Equity Plan reserved a total of 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance. Since that time, we completed a 1-for-500 reverse stock split in November 2021 in connection with our initial listing on Nasdaq, and we completed a 1-for-10 reverse stock split in June 2023 in order to maintain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Requirements. As a result, our initial share reservation under the Equity Plan after giving effect to such reverse stock splits, is only 60,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 11,182 shares are the subject of outstanding option awards, with only 48,818 shares of Common Stock currently available for issuance for new awards under the Equity Plan. As such, we are now seeking to increase the total number of shares available from time to time for issuance under the Equity Plan. We believe doing so will benefit our stockholders as equity-based incentive awards granted under the Equity Plan are designed to align the interests of our employees, consultants, officers and directors with the interests of our stockholders.

 

On October 9, 2026, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, which administers the Equity Plan, approved the Equity Plan Amendment for purposes of implementing the Evergreen Provisiondescribed above, subject to stockholder approval. The Board unanimously recommends approval of the Equity Plan Amendment by our stockholders.

 

Reasons for the Proposed Plan Amendment

 

We strongly believe that implementing the Evergreen Provision is essential to our continued success and therefore is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders, since it allows us to annually maintain a sufficient number of shares of common stock issuable under the Equity Plan, which is necessary for us to be able to provide our employees, consultants, officers and directors with sufficient award grants under the Equity Plan to incentivize them to work with the Company and to maintain their services. Accordingly, it is the judgment of our Board of Directors that implementing the Evergreen Provision under the Equity Plan is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

Description of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On September 6, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors and holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s stockholders approved the Equity Plan. The essential features of the Equity Plan are outlined below:

 

Purpose. The Equity Plan provides for the granting to our employees, officers, directors, consultants, and advisors of performance awards payable in shares of common stock, stock options (non-statutory and incentive), restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted share units (“RSUs”) and other stock-based awards. The purpose of the Equity Plan is to secure for the Company and its stockholders the benefits arising from capital stock ownership by eligible participants who are expected to contribute to the Company’s future growth and success. To date, options to purchase an aggregate of 11,182 shares of Common Stock have been granted under the Equity Plan.

 

Administration. The Equity Plan is administered by our Compensation Committee. Subject to the terms of the Equity Plan, the Compensation Committee has the authority to determine the individuals to whom, and the time or times at which, awards are made, the size of each award, and the other terms and conditions of each award (which need not be identical across participants). The Compensation Committee also has the authority, subject to the express provisions of the Equity Plan, to construe the respective agreements under the plan, proscribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the plan, accelerate or extend the dates options may be exercised or accelerate the vesting of other stock awards, and make all other determinations which are in the Compensation Committee’s judgment necessary or desirable for the administration of the plan.

 

Stock Subject to Equity Plan. Subject to certain adjustment provisions described below, the number of shares of common stock which are set aside and reserved for issuance under the Equity Plan is currently 60,000 shares.

 

Eligible Participants. Subject to certain limitations, awards under the Equity Plan may be granted to any employee, officer, director, consultant or advisor to the Company and its subsidiaries, provided that only employees of the Company and its subsidiaries may be granted ISOs under the Equity Plan.

 

Plan Amendments and Termination. The Board may at any time, and from time to time, modify or amend the Equity Plan in any respect, provided that without stockholder approval, no such modification or amendment may (i) modify the prohibitions against repricing in the Equity Plan; (ii) materially increase benefits accruing to participants; (iii) increase the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued or issuable under the Equity Plan; (iv) increase any limitation set forth in the Equity Plan on the number of shares of common stock which may be issued or the aggregate value of awards which may be made, in respect of any type of award to any single participant during any specified period; (v) modify the eligibility requirements for participants in the Equity Plan; or (vi) reduce the minimum exercise price or grant price as set forth in the Equity Plan.

 

The Board may at any time suspend or terminate the Plan, provided that any such suspension or termination shall not adversely affect the rights of a participant under any stock award previously granted while the Plan is in effect except with the consent of the participant.

 

Transferability. Unless otherwise approved by the Compensation Committee, awards under the Equity Plan are not assignable or transferable by the person to whom they are granted, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the life of the participant, shall be exercisable only by the participant.

 

Required Vote

 

Assuming that a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present and entitled to vote thereon either in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

 

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of an amendment to the Equity Plan implementing the Evergreen Provision.
