On June 18, 2025, Harvard Bioscience, Inc. (the "Company") notified the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that the Company is not in compliance with the audit committee requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) (the "Audit Committee Composition Requirement") due to the Company having only two members on the audit committee (the "Audit Committee") of its Board of Directors (the "Board"). The Company's current failure to comply with the Audit Committee Composition Requirement is due to a vacancy resulting from Alan Edrick's resignation from the Board and the Audit Committee effective June 10, 2025.

The Company intends to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) by appointing a new Board member who meets the independence requirements under Nasdaq rules and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as expeditiously as practicable. Until such appointment, the Company plans to rely on the cure period set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4), which gives the Company until the earlier of (i) the Company's next annual meeting of stockholders or (ii) one year from Mr. Edrick's resignation, or June 10, 2026 to satisfy the Audit Committee Composition Requirement.
