On September 23, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of SeaStar Medical Holding Corporation (the “Company”) approved an increase in the annual base salaries of Eric Schlorff, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Kevin Chung, the Company’s Chief Medical Officer, as well as certain other members of management effective October 1, 2025. The salaries of these officers had previously been set at the 2024 level and then reduced by 20% due to a Board decision in June 2025 in connection with the Company’s efforts to reduce monthly operating expenses. In addition, the Board approved restoring each directors' cash retainer fees and any additional cash retainer fees payable to each Board member back to their original levels effective October 1, 2025. These retainers were also reduced by 20% due to a Board decision in June 2025 in connection with the Company’s efforts to reduce monthly operating expenses. As a result of these and other actions, the Company expects monthly operating expenses to increase by approximately $50,000.
