We urge our stockholders to read this entire proxy statement and carefully consider such information before casting any votes with respect to the proposals presented herein.** 

#### Why did I receive an "Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials"?

You will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you specifically request one from us. Instead, the notice instructs you as to how you may access and review all of the important information contained in the proxy materials via the Internet and submit your vote via the Internet.

#### Why is the Annual Meeting a virtual, online meeting?
We have adopted a virtual format for our Annual Meeting to provide a consistent experience to all stockholders regardless of location. We have designed the virtual Annual Meeting to provide substantially the same opportunities to participate as you would have at an in-person meeting. Detailed instructions on how to participate at the Annual Meeting may be found online at *www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ADMA2026*.

#### What is the purpose of this document?
We are soliciting stockholder votes with respect to the following proposals:

ADMA BIOLOGICS, INC. 2 2026 Proxy Statement

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Who is entitled to vote at and attend the Annual Meeting?
Only stockholders of record and beneficial owners of the Company's common stock at the close of business on April 8, 2026 (the "**Record Date**") are entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 232,324,283 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, held by six holders of record. Each outstanding share of the Company's common stock as of the Record Date entitles its holder to cast one vote on each matter to be voted upon.

#### What is the difference between holding shares of common stock as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
Certain of our stockholders hold or may in the future hold their shares of common stock beneficially through a broker or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares owned beneficially and those held of record.

**Beneficial Owner: If your shares of common stock are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name," and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you together with a voting instruction card by your bank, broker or other nominee, as the case may be. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote. The voting instruction card from your bank, broker or other nominee contains voting instructions for you to use in directing the bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares, which include instructions for voting by Internet or telephone.** 

Because a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares of common stock at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a "legal proxy" from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.

**Stockholder of Record: If your shares of common stock are registered directly in your name with us or our stock transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company ("<u>Continental</u>"), you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you by the Company. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to direct a proxy holder how to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting by following the instructions located at *www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ADMA2026*. You can authorize your proxy or, if you have requested that the proxy materials be sent to you by mail, timely return the proxy card enclosed.** 

#### What do I need to do to attend the Annual Meeting?
Stockholders of record and beneficial owners as of the Record Date can attend the Annual Meeting online by logging onto our virtual forum at *www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ADMA2026* and following the instructions provided on your proxy card, vote instruction card or "Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials." To participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your proxy card, voter instruction card or "Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials." If you do not have this control number at the time of the Annual Meeting, you will still be able to attend virtually, but you will not be able to vote.

The virtual Annual Meeting platform is fully supported across browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari) and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets, and cell phones) running the most updated version of applicable software and plugins. Attendees should ensure that they have a strong Wi-Fi connection wherever they intend to participate in the virtual Annual Meeting. Attendees should also give themselves plenty of time to log in and ensure that they can hear streaming audio prior to the start of the virtual Annual Meeting.

#### Where can I obtain technical assistance if I encounter technical difficulties accessing virtual meeting?
We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual Annual Meeting. A phone number where you can obtain technical assistance will be made available on the day of the Annual Meeting.

ADMA BIOLOGICS, INC. 3 2026 Proxy Statement

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### What constitutes a quorum?
The presence of a quorum is required for business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting. In accordance with Delaware law and our Amended and Restated Bylaws ("**Bylaws**"), the presence at the Annual Meeting, through virtual attendance or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the Record Date and entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum. As of the Record Date, 232,324,283 shares of our common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. If you submit a properly executed proxy card, regardless of whether you abstain from voting, your shares represented by such proxy card will be considered in determining the presence of a quorum.

#### How do I vote?
You may vote at the Annual Meeting by following the instructions posted at *www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ADMA2026* or by mail, Internet, or telephone. If you hold your shares of common stock in "street name" through a bank, broker, or other nominee, you must vote in accordance with the voting instructions provided to you by such bank, broker, or other nominee, which include instructions for voting by Internet or telephone.

**Voting by Mail: If you are a holder of record of common stock and choose to vote by mail, simply complete, sign and date your proxy card and mail it in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("<u>Broadridge</u>"). If you hold common stock beneficially in "street name" and choose to vote by mail, you must complete, sign and date the voting instruction card provided by your bank, broker, or other nominee and mail it in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope within the specified time period.** 

**Voting by Internet: If you are a holder of record of common stock and choose to vote by Internet, go to www.proxyvote.com and follow the instructions to obtain your records and to create an electronic voting instruction form to transmit your voting instructions. You must have your proxy card or Notice in hand when you access the website and you must transmit your voting instructions by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 1, 2026, the day before the Annual Meeting.** 

**Voting by Telephone: If you are a holder of record of common stock and choose to vote by telephone, simply use any touch-tone telephone to transmit your voting instructions by calling the following number: 1-800-690-6903 and following the instructions. You must have your proxy card or Notice in hand when you call and you must transmit your voting instructions by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 1, 2026, the day before the Annual Meeting.** 

#### Voting at the Annual Meeting : If you attend the virtual Annual Meeting, you will be able to vote online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ADMA2026 .
Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you submit your proxy or voting instructions in advance as described above, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting. Any vote properly cast at the Annual Meeting will supersede any previously submitted proxy or voting instructions. For additional information, please see "*Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy after I return my proxy card?*" below.

#### What is the deadline to provide my proxy?
If you give instructions as to your proxy appointment to the Annual Meeting by telephone or through the Internet, such instructions must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 1, 2026, the day before the Annual Meeting. If you mail your executed proxy card for the Annual Meeting, such proxy card must be received by June 1, 2026. If you give instructions as to your proxy appointment to the Annual Meeting, such instructions must be received on June 2, 2026 at the Annual Meeting before the voting commences.

#### How does the Board of Directors recommend I vote on the proposals?
The recommendations of the Board are set forth after the description of each proposal in this proxy statement. In summary, the Board recommends a vote:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "**FOR**" the election of each of the director nominees named in the Director Election Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "**FOR**" the Auditor Ratification Proposal; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "**FOR**" the Say-on-Pay Proposal.

ADMA BIOLOGICS, INC. 4 2026 Proxy Statement

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### How will my shares of common stock be voted if I do not indicate a vote on my proxy card?
Your shares will be voted as you indicate on the proxy card or voting instruction form, as applicable. If you return your signed proxy card but do not mark the boxes indicating how you wish to vote, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Board on those items. See the question above entitled "*How does the Board of Directors recommend I vote on the proposals?*" Your shares will be voted in accordance with the discretion of the proxyholders as to any other matter that is properly presented at the Annual Meeting.

#### Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?
For stockholders of record: If you are the stockholder of record and you do not vote by proxy card or virtually at the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted at the Annual Meeting.

For holders in street name: If your shares are held in street name, your shares may be voted even if you do not provide the brokerage firm with voting instructions. Subject to applicable Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("**Nasdaq**"), New York Stock Exchange and SEC rules, brokers or other nominees who hold shares for a beneficial owner have the discretion to vote on "routine" proposals (such as the Auditor Ratification Proposal) when they have not received voting instructions.

When a proposal is not a routine matter and you have not provided voting instructions to the brokerage firm with respect to that proposal, the brokerage firm cannot vote the shares on that proposal. The missing votes for these non-routine matters are called "broker non-votes." Broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote with respect to the proposals presented in this proxy statement. The Director Election Proposal and the Say-on-Pay Proposal are considered non-routine matters and the Auditor Ratification Proposal is considered a routine matter. Accordingly, a broker non-vote will have "NO EFFECT" on the outcome of voting on the Director Election Proposal and the Say-on-Pay Proposal, and broker non-votes are "NOT APPLICABLE" to the Auditor Ratification Proposal.

#### Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy after I authorize or return my proxy card?
Yes. Even after you have submitted your proxy, you may change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised at the Annual Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record as of the Record Date, regardless of the way in which you submitted your original proxy, you may change it by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Returning a later-dated signed proxy card or written notice of revocation, as applicable, to Broadridge at c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717, Attention: Vote Processing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Submitting written notice of revocation over the Internet at *www.proxyvote.com* to Broadridge by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 1, 2026, the day before the Annual Meeting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Calling Broadridge at 1-800-690-6903 by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 1, 2026; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Attending the Annual Meeting and properly voting using the instructions posted at *www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ADMA2026*.

If your shares of common stock are held through a bank, broker, or other nominee, you will need to contact that nominee if you wish to change your voting instructions. You may also vote virtually at the Annual Meeting if you obtain a "legal proxy" as described in the answer to the question above entitled "How do I vote? – Voting at the Annual Meeting." Mere attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked.

---

Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares of ADMA's common stock present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote generally on the election of directors, assuming the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting. This means that the two nominees receiving the highest number of shares voted "FOR" their election will be elected as directors. You may vote for all the director nominees, withhold authority to vote your shares for all the director nominees or withhold authority to vote your shares with respect to any one or more of the director nominees. Withholding authority to vote your shares with respect to one or more director nominees will have NO EFFECT on the election of those nominees. Broker non-votes will have NO EFFECT on the election of the nominees.

Approval of the Auditor Ratification Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of ADMA's common stock present in person, by remote communication, or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote generally on the subject matter, assuming the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions for this proposal will be counted as a vote AGAINST such proposal. This means that the number of votes cast "FOR" must exceed the number of votes cast "AGAINST" plus any abstentions for such proposal to be approved. The Auditor Ratification Proposal is considered a "routine" matter, so brokers will have the discretion to vote uninstructed shares on behalf of beneficial owners with respect to this proposal. As such, we do not expect any broker non-votes for this proposal.

## ADMA Corporate Governance

#### DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Our Board has determined that each of Steven A. Elms, Alison C. Finger, Lawrence P. Guiheen, Young T. Kwon, PhD and Eduardo Rene Salas is independent as that term is defined under the applicable independence listing standards of Nasdaq.

#### NOMINATING RIGHTS
Our Board includes members who are designated nominees of certain of our stockholders. Mr. Elms is currently the designated nominee of Aisling Capital and Dr. Jerrold B. Grossman is currently the designated nominee of Hariden, LLC ("**Hariden**"), an entity controlled by Adam S. Grossman. In February 2012, we completed a private placement (the "**2012 Financing**"). As lead investors in the 2012 Financing, each of Aisling Capital and Hariden are entitled to designate one nominee to our Board for as long as each such entity owns 50% of the shares of common stock that it owned immediately following the closing of the 2012 Financing.

#### BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE AND ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT
Our Board evaluates its leadership structure and role in risk oversight on an ongoing basis.

Our Board is currently composed of seven directors, five of whom are independent, in accordance with the Nasdaq independence listing standards. If the director nominees are each reelected, the Company's Board will consist of seven directors. Presently, the Board has the following standing committees: Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Governance and Nominations Committee. Each of the standing committees is comprised solely of independent directors. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, our Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing risk management and updates the full Board periodically.

To assure effective and independent oversight of management, our Board currently operates with the roles of President and Chief Executive Officer on the one hand and Chairman of the Board on the other separated in recognition of the differences between these roles in the management of the Company. Although our Board does not have a policy as to whether the same individual may serve as both Chairman and President and Chief Executive Officer, or if the roles must be separate, our Board believes that its current leadership structure provides the most effective leadership model for our Company, as it promotes balance between the Board's independent authority to oversee our business and the President and Chief Executive Officer and his management team, which manages the business on a day-to-day basis. The President and Chief Executive Officer has overall responsibility for all aspects of our operation, while the Chairman has a greater focus on governance of the Company, including oversight of the Board. We believe this balance of shared leadership between the two positions is a strength for the Company. As our Chairman, Mr. Elms calls and chairs regular and special meetings of the Board, chairs and presides at annual or special meetings of stockholders, provides meaningful input into the agenda of Board meetings, authorizes the retention of outside advisors, consultants and legal counsel who report directly to the Board and consults frequently with committee chairs. Additionally, by permitting more effective monitoring and objective evaluation of the President and Chief Executive Officer's performance, this structure increases the accountability of the President and Chief Executive Officer. A separation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles also prevents the former from controlling the Board's agenda and information flow, thereby reducing the likelihood that the President and Chief Executive Officer would abuse his power.

The Board, acting primarily through the Audit Committee, is also responsible for oversight of our risk management practices, while management is responsible for the day-to-day risk management processes. This division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing the Company, and the Company's board leadership structure supports this approach. Through our President and Chief Executive Officer, and other members of management, the Board receives periodic reports regarding the risks facing the Company. In addition, the Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight role by receiving periodic reports regarding our risk and control environment.

ADMA BIOLOGICS, INC. 14 2026 Proxy Statement

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
The Compensation Committee reviews the Company's compensation practices to confirm that they do not create risks likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. This review includes comparing the compensation practices of the Company with peer companies in the life sciences sector as well as ensuring that the compensation packages of key executives are tied to the long-term success of the Company and therefore correlated to increases in stockholder value.

#### Board Succession Planning
The Board annually reviews and discusses the Company's succession plan for the Chief Executive Officer, key executive officers and each of the Company's other members of senior management, including plans for succession in the event of an emergency or resignation or retirement. Management of the Company annually meets with the Board to discuss the Chief Executive Officer's recommendations with respect to succession planning for the members of senior management of the Company and management development.

#### MEETINGS OF THE BOARD AND ITS COMMITTEES
The Board held a total of 10 meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, no incumbent director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board held during the period in which he or she served as a director and the total number of meetings held by the committee on which he or she served during the period. Members of our Board are invited and encouraged to attend each annual meeting of stockholders, and each director then serving on the Board attended the prior annual meeting of stockholders held on June 4, 2025 in person or by teleconference.

#### BOARD COMMITTEES
Our Board currently has three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Governance and Nominations Committee. These committees, their principal functions and their respective memberships are described below.

#### Audit Committee
The current members of our Audit Committee are Dr. Kwon (Chairman), and Messrs. Guiheen and Salas. The composition and responsibilities of the Audit Committee, as reflected in its charter, are intended to be in accordance with applicable rules of the SEC for corporate audit committees and listing requirements of Nasdaq. Our Board has determined that each Audit Committee member meets the definition of an independent director as defined by the applicable Nasdaq listing standards and the additional independence criteria for members of audit committees specified in the Nasdaq listing standards and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "**Exchange Act**"). Our Board has determined that Dr. Kwon and Mr. Salas each qualify as an "audit committee financial expert," as such term is defined by SEC rules.

The Audit Committee was established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The primary functions of the Audit Committee are to: (i) review the financial reports and other financial information prepared by the Company for submission to any governmental or regulatory body or the public and monitor the integrity of such financial reports; (ii) review the Company's systems of internal controls established for finance, accounting, legal compliance and ethics; (iii) review the Company's accounting and financial reporting processes generally and the audits of the financial statements of the Company; (iv) monitor compliance with legal regulatory requirements; (v) monitor the engagement, qualifications, independence and performance of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm and approve the terms of engagement of the Company's independent auditor; (vi) review the performance of the Company's internal audit function and, when applicable, prepare any reports required under SEC rules; and (vi) provide effective communication between the Board, senior and financial management and the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee meets regularly with our independent registered public accounting firm without management present, and from time to time with management in separate private sessions, to discuss any matters that the Audit Committee or these individuals believe should be discussed privately with the Audit Committee, including any significant issues or disagreements that may arise concerning our accounting practices or financial statements. In addition, the Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight role by receiving periodic reports regarding our risk and control environment.

The Audit Committee is also responsible for addressing matters of accounting policy with our independent registered public accounting firm. In discharging its role, the Audit Committee has the resources and appropriate authority, without seeking approval of the Board, to investigate any matter within the scope of its responsibilities with full access to all of our books, records, facilities

and personnel. The Audit Committee also has the power to retain special legal, accounting and other advisors as it deems necessary to carry out its duties. In 2025, the Audit Committee retained the services of BDO USA, LLP, as a Sarbanes-Oxley advisor, to assist with the Company's internal controls related to the Company's compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404A.

The Audit Committee held nine meetings during the year ended December 31, 2025. A copy of the Audit Committee's charter is posted on our website at *www.admabiologics.com*.

#### Compensation Committee
The members of our Board's Compensation Committee are Dr. Kwon (Chairman), Ms. Finger and Mr. Guiheen. Our Board has determined that all members of the Compensation Committee are independent directors.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for ensuring that the Company's compensation programs are: (i) effective in attracting and retaining the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, the Company's other executive officers, the Company's other officers and the Company's non-management directors; (ii) administered fairly and in our stockholders' interests; and (iii) in compliance with the applicable compensation rules, regulations and guidelines promulgated by Nasdaq, the SEC, the Internal Revenue Service and other laws, as amended from time to time. The Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to the Board appropriate executive compensation policies, compensation of the directors and officers and executive and employee benefit plans and programs, and is responsible for overseeing such policies, compensation programs and plans approved by the Board and, where appropriate, by our stockholders.

The Board determines, based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, the compensation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, including salary, bonus, equity awards, retention awards and certain other arrangements. The President and Chief Executive Officer, or any other executive officer for whom compensation is being discussed or determined, is not permitted to be present at meetings at which their respective compensation or performance is discussed or determined.

Under the Compensation Committee Charter, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chairman of the Board may recommend to the Compensation Committee individual compensation awards for our officers. The Compensation Committee would then have to review the recommendation and make its own recommendation to the Board.

The Compensation Committee may also form, and delegate such power and authority to, subcommittees when deemed appropriate; provided that the Compensation Committee may not delegate any power or authority required by any law, regulation or listing standard to be exercised by the Compensation Committee as a whole; provided further that no such subcommittee shall consist of fewer than two members. In addition, the Compensation Committee may retain special legal counsel, compensation or other consultants to advise it on compensation matters or as it deems appropriate.

The Compensation Committee held five meetings during the year ended December 31, 2025. A copy of the Compensation Committee's charter is posted on our website at *www.admabiologics.com.*

#### Governance and Nominations Committee
The members of our Board's Governance and Nominations Committee are Messrs. Guiheen (Chairman) and Elms, and Ms. Finger. Our Board has determined that all members of the Governance and Nominations Committee are independent directors as defined by the applicable Nasdaq listing standards.

The Governance and Nominations Committee's role and responsibilities are set forth in the Governance and Nominations Committee's written charter and include: (i) making recommendations to the full Board the persons to be nominated for election as directors at any meeting of stockholders and the persons to be elected by the Board to fill any vacancies on the Board; (ii) developing and recommending to the Board, and periodically reviewing and evaluating, criteria for current directors and prospective directors, selecting qualified director candidates and, using such criteria, identifying individuals qualified to become Board members; (iii) considering committee member and chairperson qualifications, appointment and removal; (iv) developing and recommending to the Board a set of corporate governance principles and a code of conduct applicable to the Company; and (v) overseeing the evaluation of the Board through annual assessment by the Governance and Nominations Committee of the performance of each member of the Board. In evaluating the independence of directors, the Governance and Nominations Committee considers many factors and has taken the position that a director may be considered independent despite being affiliated with a significant stockholder.

ADMA BIOLOGICS, INC. 16 2026 Proxy Statement

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
In identifying candidates for membership on the Board, the Governance and Nominations Committee takes into account all factors it considers appropriate, which may include (a) ensuring that the Board, as a whole, is diverse and consists of individuals of varying skills, qualifications, demographic characteristics and backgrounds with various and relevant career experience, relevant technical skills, education, industry knowledge and experience, financial expertise (including expertise that could qualify a director as an "audit committee financial expert," as that term is defined by the rules of the SEC), local or community ties; and (b) minimum individual qualifications, including strength of character, mature judgment, familiarity with the Company's business and industry, independence of thought and an ability to work collegially. The Governance and Nominations Committee has instituted a policy whereby diversity, including diversity of skills, qualifications, demographic characteristics and background, became a key consideration when identifying candidates for membership on the Board. The Governance and Nominations Committee also may consider the extent to which the candidate would fill a present need on the Board.

The Company believes that the continuing service of qualified incumbents promotes stability and continuity in the boardroom, contributing to the ability of the Board to work as a collective body, while giving the Company the benefit of the familiarity and insight into the Company's affairs that its directors have accumulated during their tenure. Accordingly, the process of the Governance and Nominations Committee for identifying nominees reflects the Company's practice of re-nominating incumbent directors who continue to satisfy the Governance and Nominations Committee's criteria for membership on the Board, whom the Governance and Nominations Committee believes continue to make important contributions to the Board and who consent to continue their service on the Board. The Governance and Nominations Committee will identify or solicit recommendations for new candidates when there is no qualified and available incumbent.

The Governance and Nominations Committee will consider nominees recommended by stockholders. There are no differences in the manner in which the committee evaluates nominees for director based on whether the nominee is recommended by a stockholder or by the Governance and Nominations Committee. Stockholders who would like to have our Governance and Nominations Committee consider their recommendations for nominees for the position of director should submit their recommendations, in a timely manner and in accordance with the procedures set forth below, in writing to: Corporate Secretary, ADMA Biologics, Inc., 465 State Route 17, Ramsey, New Jersey 07446.

For nominations, a stockholder's notice must include: (i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director, (A) the name, age, business address and residential address of such person, (B) the principal occupation or employment of such person, (C) the class and number of shares of stock of the Company that are owned of record and beneficially owned by such person, (D) the date or dates on which such shares were acquired and the investment intent of such acquisition, (E) such other information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors or is otherwise required by the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Exchange Act, and (F) the written consent of the nominee to be named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected; and (ii) as to the stockholder giving the notice, (A) the name, business address, and residential address, as they appear on our stock transfer books, of the nominating stockholder, (B) a representation that the nominating stockholder is a stockholder of record or beneficial owner, as the case may be, and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice, (C) the class and number of shares of stock of the Company beneficially owned and of record by the nominating stockholder, (D) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the nominating stockholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the nominating stockholder, (E) the name and address of any other stockholder, to the extent known by the nominating stockholder, supporting the proposal on the date of the stockholder's notice, (F) a representation as to whether the nominating stockholder intends to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of a sufficient number of holders of the Company's voting shares to elect such nominee or nominees and (G) a description of all Derivative Transactions (as such term is defined in the Bylaws) made by each nominating stockholder during the prior twelve months.

Our environmental, social and governance (ESG) and social impact strategy is directed by our Board and overseen by management and a cross-functional executive team comprised of Legal, Compliance, Human Resources and Investor Relations. Our Board, through our Governance and Nominations Committee, has oversight over our social impact strategy.

The Governance and Nominations Committee held two meetings during the year ended December 31, 2025. A copy of the Governance and Nominations Committee's charter is posted on our website at *www.admabiologics.com*.

## The Auditor Ratification Proposal
Our Audit Committee has appointed KPMG LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026. In connection with this appointment, KPMG LLP will examine and report to stockholders on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for 2026.

Although stockholder ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise, the Board has put this proposal before the stockholders because it believes that seeking stockholders' ratification of the Audit Committee's appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm is good corporate practice. This vote is only advisory, however, because the Audit Committee has the sole authority to retain and dismiss our independent registered public accounting firm. If the appointment of KPMG LLP is not ratified, the Audit Committee will evaluate the basis for the stockholders' vote when determining whether to continue the firm's engagement. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its sole discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders. They also will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.

#### VOTE REQUIRED
The Auditor Ratification Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person, by remote communication, or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote generally on the subject matter to be approved. This means that the number of votes cast "FOR" must exceed the number of votes cast "AGAINST" plus any abstentions for this Auditor Ratification Proposal to be approved.

#### BOARD RECOMMENDATION
**After careful consideration, the Board determined that ratification of the Audit Committee's appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 is advisable and in the best interests of ADMA and its stockholders. On the basis of the foregoing, the Board has approved and declared advisable the ratification of the Audit Committee's appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 and recommends that you vote "FOR" the ratification of the Audit Committee's appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026.** 

#### CHANGE OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
As previously reported on the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on October 9, 2024 (the "**Change of Auditor Current Report**"), CohnReznick LLP ("**CohnReznick**"), resigned as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm effective as of November 7, 2024 (the "**Resignation Date**"), the date the Company completed the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024.

CohnReznick is not required to obtain, and did not seek, the Company's consent to its decision to resign as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. As a result, neither the Board nor the Audit Committee took part in CohnReznick's decision to provide its notice of resignation.

CohnReznick's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting as December 31, 2023, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Furthermore, during the Company's two most recent fiscal years and through the Resignation Date, there have been no disagreements with CohnReznick as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K on any matter of accounting principles or practices,

financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to CohnReznick's satisfaction, would have caused CohnReznick to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company's financial statements or internal control over financial reporting.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and through the Resignation Date, there were no "reportable events" as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided to CohnReznick the disclosure contained in the Change of Auditor Current Report and requested CohnReznick furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company (the "**CohnReznick Letter**"), and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. The CohnReznick Letter has been filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Change of Auditor Current Report.

On October 31, 2024, the Company and KPMG LLP executed an agreement pursuant to which KPMG LLP was engaged to serve as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm effective upon the filing of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024. KPMG's engagement included an audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which were filed as part of the Company's annual report to stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

#### PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
The following table summarizes the aggregate fees billed by our independent registered public accounting firm to us for each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Since November 7, 2024, KPMG LLP has served as our independent registered public accounting firm. A description of these fees and services follows the table.

#### PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND PERMISSIBLE NON-AUDIT SERVICES
Our Audit Committee requires pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services in one of two methods. Under the first method, the engagement to render the services would be entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee, provided (i) the policies and procedures are detailed as to the services to be performed, (ii) the Audit Committee is informed of each service, and (iii) such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the Audit Committee's responsibilities under the Exchange Act to the Company's management. Under the second method, the engagement to render the services would be presented to and pre-approved by the Audit Committee (subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act that are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit). The Chairperson of the Audit Committee has the authority to grant pre-approvals of audit and permissible non-audit services by the independent registered public accounting firm, provided that all pre-approvals by the Chairperson must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee considers, among other things, whether the provision of such audit or non-audit services is consistent with applicable regulations regarding maintaining auditor

## The Say-on-Pay Proposal
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "**Dodd-Frank Act**") and Section 14A of the Exchange Act requires all public companies to hold a separate non-binding advisory stockholder vote to approve the compensation of named executive officers as reported in this proxy statement (commonly known as the "Say-on-Pay" vote).

The advisory vote on executive compensation is a non-binding vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation, and the accompanying narrative disclosure, set forth in this proxy statement. The advisory vote on executive compensation is not a vote on our general compensation policies, the compensation of our Board, or our compensation policies as they relate to risk management.

The Compensation Committee of our Board oversees and administers our executive compensation program, including the evaluation and approval of compensation plans, policies and programs offered to our named executive officers. The Compensation Committee has designed the executive compensation program for our named executive officers to meet the following objectives:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ensure executive compensation is aligned with our corporate strategies and business objectives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Subject a substantial portion of an executive officer's compensation to achieving both short-term and long-term performance objectives that enhances stockholder value by linking rewards to measurable corporate and individual performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reinforce the importance of meeting and exceeding identifiable and measurable goals through awards for performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provide total direct compensation that is competitive in the marketplace in order to attract, retain and motivate the best possible executive candidates; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provide an incentive for long-term continued employment with our Company.

We believe our approach to goal setting and setting of targets with payouts based upon performance results assists in mitigating excessive risk-taking that could harm our value or reward poor judgment by our executives. Several features of our programs reflect sound risk management practices. We believe we have allocated our compensation among base salary and short and long-term compensation target opportunities in such a way as to not encourage excessive risk-taking.

The vote solicited by this Say-on-Pay Proposal is advisory, and therefore is not binding on the Company, our Board or our Compensation Committee. The outcome of the vote will not require the Company, our Board or our Compensation Committee to take any action, and will not be construed as overruling any decision by the Company or the Board.

Furthermore, because this non-binding, advisory resolution primarily relates to the compensation of our named executive officers that has already been paid or contractually committed, there is generally no opportunity for us to revisit these decisions. However, our Board, including our Compensation Committee, values the opinions of our stockholders and, to the extent there is any significant vote against the executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, we consider our stockholders' concerns and evaluate what actions, if any, may be appropriate to address those concerns.

Stockholders will be asked at the Annual Meeting to approve the following resolution pursuant to this Say-on-Pay Proposal:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of the Company approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers, disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K in the Company's definitive proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting.

## Compensation Discussion and Analysis

#### Overview
The following discussion provides an overview and analysis of the philosophy and objectives of the Compensation Committee (the "**Compensation Committee**") of our Board in designing compensation programs as well as the compensation determinations and the rationale for those determinations relating to our President and Chief Executive Officer ("**CEO**"), Chief Financial Officer ("**CFO**") and the other individuals who served as executive officers during the year, to whom we refer to collectively as our "named executive officers." Our named executive officers for 2025 were:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adam S. Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Kaitlin Kestenberg, Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President, Compliance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Brad L. Tade, our former CFO and Treasurer, who retired from such positions on February 25, 2026. Mr. Tade was immediately succeeded by Paul Terence Kohler, Jr., the Company's former Executive Financial Advisor, who currently serves as the Company's CFO and Treasurer; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Paul Terence Kohler, Jr., our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, effective February 26, 2026.

#### Executive Summary
We made significant progress toward achieving our strategic goals and objectives in 2025. Most notably, we achieved the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reported record revenue of $510 million for the full year, which represented a 20% increase over the prior year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Received approval of our Prior Approval Supplement for our innovative yield enhancement production process from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "**FDA** "), which has demonstrated an ability to increase production yields by approximately 20% from the same starting plasma volume. Yield-enhanced production successfully transitioned into routine commercial execution in 2025 with continued FDA lot releases. Fiscal year 2026 represents the first full year of yield-enhanced output, positioning us for sustained gross margin growth and anticipated material increases in earnings power.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reported record highs across all ASCENIV leading demand metrics through year-end 2025, as ASCENIV's benefit in real-world patient outcomes and broad payer coverage continues. Full-year ASCENIV revenues increased 51% year-over-year to $363 million, driven by robust demand and expanding prescriber adoption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reached an agreement to divest three plasma centers for $12 million while retaining seven plasma collection centers, which divestiture subsequently closed in the first quarter of 2026. Concurrently, we entered into long-term supply agreements with the purchaser, maintaining diversity of our high-titer plasma sources. Third-party suppliers exceeded expectations in 2025, and this new agreement combined with the existing long-term supply agreements now provide us with access to 280+ plasma collection centers. This is expected to materially improve ASCENIV's long-term supply opportunity while creating a more flexible, capital-efficient supply model expected to deliver accretive cost savings beginning in 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Further validated ASCENIV's differentiated profile through multiple independent 2025 real-world datasets. Statistically significant infection reductions observed in investigator-initiated analyses continue to enhance physician confidence, support payer engagement, and expand medical education initiatives, each of which are key drivers of strong 2026 utilization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Approved a common stock repurchase program of up to $500 million, representing approximately 8% of our market capitalization at the time. In 2025, we repurchased $32 million of our common stock under this program, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to generating sustained stockholder value.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Completed a syndicated debt refinancing led by J.P. Morgan in August 2025, replacing our prior term loan and reducing borrowing costs. The new credit agreement includes a $225 million revolving credit facility and $75 million term loan and features leverage-based pricing tiers with ABR spreads ranging from 1.50% to 2.00% and Term Benchmark/RFR spreads from 2.50% to 3.00%. The refinancing lowers our weighted average cost of debt and provides enhanced liquidity and financial flexibility to support strategic growth initiatives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Purchased a $12.5 million facility on five acres of land, proximate to our Boca Raton manufacturing campus in July 2025. This investment strengthened our U.S.-based, vertically integrated supply chain and potentially provides for up to 30% in future cGMP capacity expansion. The site is expected to provide us with additional operating flexibility to build on our growth trajectory by adding critical infrastructure, including increased cold storage capabilities, warehousing and inventory management, in-house testing, as well as added manufacturing capacity and potential new distribution opportunities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continued to implement our innovative AI program, ADMAlytics™, to improve efficiencies across our supply chain and production operations. When fully implemented, ADMAlytics is expected to further optimize our commercial growth strategy. The benefits of ADMAlytics include increased production efficiency, enhanced visibility into the 7–12 month manufacturing process, optimized commercial planning, streamlined plasma pooling, and reduced variability and personnel hours.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Successfully advanced preclinical development of our *S. pneumonia* hyperimmune globulin pipeline product, named SG-001. *S. pneumonia* is the predominant cause of community-acquired pneumonia in the U.S., ranking as the ninth leading cause of overall mortality, and we estimate that an *S. pneumonia* hyperimmune globulin, if approved, has the potential to generate peak annual revenue of $300-500 million. We anticipate submitting a pre-Investigational New Drug package to the FDA in fiscal year 2026, which could enable us to progress development of SG-001 directly into a registrational clinical trial.

As described further in this CD&A, our executive compensation program is designed to align our named executive officers' compensation with performance. Based on our overall performance, our Board took certain key actions with respect to the compensation of our named executive officers, as described under the heading "Executive Compensation Components".

#### Executive Compensation Philosophy
This CD&A provides an overview of our executive compensation philosophy, the overall objectives of our executive compensation program and each element of compensation provided. In addition, it explains how and why our Compensation Committee arrived at the specific compensation policies and decisions involving our named executive officers. The primary objectives of our executive compensation program are to motivate and retain key executives, attract new talent, and link compensation achievement in a pay for performance model tied to business objectives, ultimately linking executive compensation with stockholder interests. To determine named executive officer compensation for 2025, consistent with this philosophy, the Compensation Committee considered the impact of our corporate performance during 2024, each named executive officer's individual performance, each named executive officer's anticipated future contributions, market conditions generally, and compensation data from peer group companies. In addition, the Compensation Committee reviewed stockholder approval of our executive compensation for 2024, which was approved by stockholders by a vote of 88.9% support. In light of this support, the Compensation Committee determined that it is in the best interest of our stockholders, as well as our employees, to maintain our compensation policies and procedures, as described below.

Our executive compensation decisions are based on the following fundamental philosophies and objectives of our Compensation Committee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ensure executive compensation is aligned with corporate strategies and business objectives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Align pay with performance at the company and individual level via short-term and long-term performance incentives that are designed to enhance stockholder value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reinforce the importance of meeting and exceeding identifiable and measurable goals through awards for performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provide total direct compensation that is competitive in the marketplace in order to attract, retain and motivate the best possible executive candidates; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provide an incentive for long-term continued employment with the Company.

#### Determination of Competitive Compensation for 2025

#### Role of Compensation Committee
Our Compensation Committee uses its judgment to evaluate the compensation of our named executive officers based on market data and individual performance (as described further below in the section entitled "Executive Compensation Components"). This judgment is reflected in the compensation decisions for 2025 and signifies our Compensation Committee's commitment to align executive compensation with the business objectives and performance of the Company. We reward our named executive officers in a manner that supports a philosophy of pay-for-performance while maintaining an overall level of compensation that is competitive with the compensation paid to similarly-situated named executive officers in our peer group and the life sciences industry.

#### Role of the Compensation Consultant
For 2025, the Compensation Committee engaged Pay Governance LLC ("**Pay Governance**"), a nationally known executive compensation and benefits consulting firm, to serve as the independent compensation consultant, working directly with the Compensation Committee to assist in a review of our overall director and executive compensation programs, including with respect to benchmarking executive compensation. Pay Governance reviewed our compensation peer group to ensure it was relevant for competitive analysis of executive pay and reviewed our compensation practices with respect to our named executive officers and non-executive directors relative to the pay levels and practices of our peer group. In late 2025 and early 2026, Pay Governance also conducted an executive compensation analysis for 2026 and performed an analysis and proposed guidelines on executive stock ownership.

In engaging Pay Governance in fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee determined that Pay Governance was independent in accordance with SEC Rule 10C-1 and that their work did not raise any conflict of interest.

#### Overview of Compensation Elements
To achieve our compensation objectives, we provide each named executive officer with a compensation package consisting primarily of the following fixed and variable elements:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Compensation Element** | **Compensation Objectives** | **Design**  |
| Base Salary | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Recognizes performance of job responsibilities and attracts and retains individuals with superior talent.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>• Reflects the experience of the individual named executive officer and expected day-to-day contributions, supported by market data.<br>| • Fixed compensation that is reviewed annually to consider changes in responsibility, experience, and market competitiveness. <br>|
| Short-Term Incentive <br>Compensation | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• At-risk pay is designed to motivate achievement of annual performance goals.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>• Provides incentives to attain short-term corporate and individual goals.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Variable compensation based on corporate performance, and subject to further adjustment based on individual performance.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>• Market competitive targets established for named executive officers. <br>|
| Long-Term Incentive <br>Compensation | • Drives stockholder value creation by aligning the interests of named executive officers with those of our stockholders.<br>| • Variable long-term incentive compensation that vests over a four-year period from the date of grant.<br>|

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Collectively, these fixed and variable components establish a balanced compensation program that is designed to attract, retain, and motivate key executive level talent while paying for performance, aligning the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders, and mitigating risk. Each of these elements is discussed in greater detail below under the section titled "Executive Compensation Components."

#### Peer Group and Market Data
For purposes of comparing our executive and director compensation against the competitive market, the Compensation Committee approved a new peer group for 2025, based on the analysis conducted by Pay Governance and pursuant to the Committee's annual review process. In selecting the new peer group, the Compensation Committee considered size and business-appropriate publicly-traded life sciences industry comparators and focused on company market capitalization (0.5x – 3.0x the range of ADMA), revenue (0.5x – 2.0x the range of ADMA), and headcount (0.33x – 3.0x the range of ADMA) (among others) as key selection criteria. Companies who met the initial criteria were then reviewed for appropriateness based on additional metrics, including total shareholder return (TSR) growth, revenue growth, price to sales ratio, EBITDA (absolute and growth), net income (absolute and growth), and R&D expense as a percentage of operating expenses. The Compensation Committee also uses market data from our compensation peer group and from the Radford Global Life Sciences Compensation survey as one factor in evaluating whether the compensation for our executive officers is competitive in the market. The Compensation Committee also rely on their own knowledge and judgment in evaluating market data and making compensation decisions. The following comparator companies comprise the peer group for 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. • Alkermes plc • Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. • Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. • Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. • Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. • Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated • Evolus, Inc. • Exelixis, Inc. • Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. • Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc.\* • MannKind Corporation • MiMedx Group, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mirum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. • Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. • Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. • TG Therapeutics, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Vericel Corporation

\* Acquired in a take-private transaction by Johnson & Johnson in April 2025 following determination of our 2025 peer group.

#### Executive Compensation Components
The primary elements of our executive compensation program include base salary, annual cash bonus, and equity incentives that are reflected in grants of stock options and restricted stock units. Annually, the Compensation Committee reviews the Company's mix of short-term incentives versus long-term incentives. In this review, the Compensation Committee aims to provide a reasonable balance between these components. The Compensation Committee administers these components with the goal of providing total compensation that is competitive in the marketplace, while also acknowledging and motivating the achievement of individual and Company performance to align named executive officer compensation with stockholders.

The Compensation Committee took the following actions with respect to 2025 compensation for our named executive officers:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Worked with Pay Governance to update the Company's compensation program for executive compensation as compared to the executive compensation of the companies in our updated peer group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• After considering the market practice of our peer group, awarded certain salary increases of our named executive officers, as discussed in more detail below under the section entitled "Base Salaries."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Based on our performance results for 2025, as well as individual performance of our named executive officers, awarded certain annual cash bonuses, with a payout of 125% of target, except as otherwise provided below, as discussed in more detail below under the section entitled "Annual Bonuses".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Made grants of restricted stock units and stock options under the Equity Compensation Plan, as discussed in more detail below under the section entitled "Long-Term Incentives – Equity Compensation".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Kohler, initially as Executive Financial Advisor, with Mr. Kohler transitioning to Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer as of February 2026.

#### Role of our Chief Executive Officer in Determining Executive Compensation.
Based on the data provided by our compensation consultant, our Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the compensation of the named executive officers (except with respect to his own compensation).

#### Base Salaries
Base salary is intended to compensate our named executive officers for the performance of their core job responsibilities and duties. The Company's compensation philosophy aims to maintain reasonable "fixed" compensation costs by targeting base salaries at a competitive market levels, taking into account both Company performance and individual executive performance. Base salaries are generally reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee. In determining 2025 base salaries, the Compensation Committee also considered total compensation levels versus comparable positions within the peer group. The base salary for each named executive officer for 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **Base Salary for 2024** | **Base Salary for 2025**  |
| **Adam S. Grossman** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$800000 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$925000  |

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Mr. Kohler commenced his employment with the Company in December 2025 as Executive Financial Advisor and was promoted to Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company on February 25, 2026.* 

#### Annual Bonuses
We pay annual performance-based cash bonuses to reward the performance achievements of our named executive officers. The corporate performance goals vary year by year, as approved by the Compensation Committee. We set target award levels for our executives based on a percentage of their base salary. The Compensation Committee and Board examines pre-established corporate performance goals and corresponding weighting in determining whether to pay an annual bonus to any named executive officer and the amount of such bonus.

The Board, in discussion with management, reserves the right to adjust the aggregate percentage of the bonus payout based on the financial and corporate performance of the Company. In addition, as discussed below, the Board also reserves the right to adjust the ultimate payout percentage based on individual performance. As such, actual payouts to the named executive officers can vary from the target opportunities based on actual performance.

At an early January 2026 meeting, the Compensation Committee assessed whether and to what extent the applicable corporate goals were achieved for 2025. The tables below set forth the Compensation Committee determinations with respect to the annual bonus awards for 2025 for each named executive officer:

#### Long-Term Incentives – Equity Compensation
We maintain the Equity Compensation Plan, which is a broad-based omnibus equity compensation program that permits the Compensation Committee to award various types of equity-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock units.

As a general matter, equity grants to executive officers are intended to incentivize such officers to contribute materially to the growth of the Company, thereby benefitting the Company's stockholders and aligning the economic interests of the participants with those of the stockholders. We believe that stock options provide a strong incentive to increase stockholder value because the

ADMA BIOLOGICS, INC. 33 2026 Proxy Statement

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
value of the options is entirely dependent on the increase in the market price of our common stock following the date of grant. We believe the restricted stock unit awards provide an appropriate level of balance to the performance-oriented equity components of our long-term program.

The Compensation Committee approves equity grants to the named executive officers. Generally, these awards are approved on an annual basis during the first quarter of the year. However, the Compensation Committee may also approve grants in specific scenarios, including, for example, in connection with the hiring of new executive officers. In all instances, grants of new equity awards will not be made to an executive officer within the four business days before the filing of a periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, or the filing or furnishing of a Current Report on Form 8-K that discloses material nonpublic information, or within one business day after the filing of any such reports. In February 2025, Messrs. Grossman and Tade and Ms. Kestenberg received long-term equity incentive awards, consisting of 50% restricted stock units that vest in substantially equal installments on the first four anniversaries of the date of grant and 50% of stock options that vest with respect to 25% of the shares underlying the option on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, and the remaining 75% of the option shares vesting monthly in substantially equal installments over the next three years. On his start date in December 2025, Mr. Kohler similarly received long-term equity incentive awards, consisting of restricted stock units and stock options that, in each case, vest according to our standard vesting schedule described in the preceding sentence.

The table below summarizes the 2025 restricted stock units and stock options awarded to the executive officers of the Company pursuant to the long-term incentive program:

For additional information regarding stock option and restricted stock unit award terms, see the narrative accompanying the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table.

#### Perquisites
We do not have programs for providing personal benefit perquisites to named executive officers.

#### Additional Benefits
Our named executive officers participate in our broad-based group health plan and 401(k) savings plan offered to all full-time employees of the Company. We currently provide a safe harbor 4% match on an employee's contributions to the 401(k) plan, up to the applicable limit set forth in the Internal Revenue Code (the "**IRC**"). In addition, the Company pays the premiums for medical benefits and life insurance coverage for the named executive officers.

#### Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines
The Board has adopted the Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines based on the belief that key executives should have a significant ownership interest in the Company's common stock. As of the date of this proxy statement, all named executive officers were subject to this policy.

ADMA BIOLOGICS, INC. 34 2026 Proxy Statement

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Under the Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines, covered executives are expected to acquire and hold a specific level of ownership interest in the common stock based on their position and compensation level. The Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines are intended to enhance the alignment of the interests of key executives with the interests of the Company's stockholders. Pursuant to the Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines, each named executive officer is required to hold shares of our common stock at the levels set forth below, effective beginning in February 2026:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Position** | **$ Value of Shares**  |
| Chief Executive Officer | 5.0 x Base Salary  |
| All Other Named Executive Officers | 2.0 x Base Salary |

---

The ownership level represents the share ownership value calculated based on the fair market value of the shares held at the end of each fiscal year. The Company expects each executive to reach the specified share ownership level within five years from the date such individual becomes subject to the guidelines and to continue to own shares with at least such value while in the designated position.

For purposes of the Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines, owned shares include the value of the shares directly held by the executive, plus 50% of the value of any granted but unvested restricted stock units held by the executive. The Compensation Committee annually reviews each executive's progress toward the goal. As of the end of 2025, each named executive officer was in compliance with the Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines, except Mr. Kohler who was not an executive officer as of the end of the fiscal year 2025.

#### Clawback Policy
Effective December 1, 2023, our Board, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, adopted a new compensation recoupment policy (the "**Clawback Policy**"). The Clawback Policy is effective for certain incentive-based compensation received by our current or former executive officers on or after October 2, 2023, and is consistent with the requirements of the SEC's final compensation clawback rules under the Dodd-Frank Act and the Nasdaq listing standards. The Clawback Policy requires recoupment of such incentive-based compensation in the event the Company is required to restate its financial results due to the Company's material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws as required by the Dodd-Frank Act and corresponding Nasdaq listing standards. The recovery of such compensation applies regardless of whether an executive officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to the requirement for a restatement. The Clawback Policy is filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report.

#### Ongoing and Post-Employment Compensation
As of December 31, 2025, we were party to employment agreements with Messrs. Grossman, Tade, and Kohler and Ms. Kestenberg (collectively, the "**Executive Employment Agreements**"), which entitle these named executive officers to receive a base salary and an annual performance-based bonus and provide that they are eligible to receive equity grants under our long-term incentive equity incentive program. The Executive Employment Agreements are designed to be part of a competitive compensation package and provide for severance pay and benefits upon an involuntary termination and for increased severance pay and benefits in the event an eligible employee is terminated from employment in connection with a "change of control" of the Company.

The Executive Employment Agreements provide that each of the named executive officers is eligible to receive severance payments upon certain termination events, including termination by the Company without cause and by the executive for good reason, provided that the executive signs and does not revoke a release of claims in favor of the Company. In addition, the Executive Employment Agreements provide for enhanced severance payments for a termination of employment in connection with a change in control.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
The table below sets forth the severance payments to which each named executive officer is entitled pursuant to the Executive Employment Agreements in addition to each executive's earned but unpaid target annual bonus for the prior year:

| Adam Grossman | The Company will pay health insurance premiums for 18 months | Equal monthly installment payments of 18 months of base salary plus 1½ times target bonus  | The Company will pay health insurance premiums for 24 months | Lump sum payment equal to 24 months' base salary plus two times target bonus  |
| Kaitlin Kestenberg | The Company will pay health insurance premiums for 12 months | Equal monthly installment payments of 12 months of base salary  | The Company will pay health insurance premiums for 12 months | Lump sum payment equal to 15 months' base salary plus 1<sup>1</sup>∕2 times target bonus  |
| Brad L. Tade | The Company will pay health insurance premiums for 12 months | Equal monthly installment payments of 12 months of base salary  | The Company will pay health insurance premiums for 12 months | Lump sum payment equal to 15 months' base salary plus 1<sup>1</sup>∕2 times target bonus  |
| Paul Terence Kohler, Jr. | The Company will pay health insurance premiums for 6 months | Equal monthly installment payments of 6 months of base salary | The Company will pay health insurance premiums for 9 months | Lump sum payment equal to 9 months' base salary plus a prorated target bonus for the year of termination |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The change in control severance period for Mr. Grossman begins immediately prior to a change in control and continues through the two-year anniversary of the change in control. The change in control severance period for Mr. Tade, Mr. Kohler, and Ms. Kestenberg begins immediately prior to the change in control and continues through the one-year anniversary of the change in control.

Additionally, the Executive Employment Agreements provide that in addition to the change in control severance benefits above, if the executives' employment is terminated without cause or for good reason in connection with a change in control, each of Messrs. Grossman, Tade, and Kohler and Ms. Kestenberg will be entitled to accelerated vesting of their outstanding stock options and restricted stock units. In the case of Mr. Grossman, his vested options will remain exercisable through the 24-month anniversary of his termination (or the ten-year term of the options, if earlier), and in the case of Ms. Kestenberg and Messrs. Tade and Kohler, their vested options remain exercisable until the 18-month anniversary of their termination of employment (or the ten-year term of the options, if earlier). In addition, if Mr. Grossman is terminated without cause or for good reason, not in connection with a change in control, he will be entitled to an additional year of vesting on any outstanding stock options and restricted stock units, and the options will become exercisable through the 24-month anniversary of his date of termination (or the ten-year term of the options, if earlier).

If a named executive officer dies or becomes disabled, the Company will pay the executive (or their estate in the event of the executive's death) their accrued but unpaid base salary, any unreimbursed expenses, and any unpaid annual bonus for any prior performance year, as well as reimbursement for the same portion of the executive's family COBRA health insurance premium that the Company paid during the executive's employment for at least 12 months following the executive's date of termination.

The Executive Employment Agreements contain restrictive covenant obligations, including mutual non-disparagement covenants, non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality and intellectual property covenants.

Payments and benefits under the Executive Employment Agreements are reduced to the maximum amount that does not trigger the excise tax under IRC Section 280G and 4999, unless the executive would be better off, on an after-tax basis, had the executive received all payments and benefits and paid all applicable excise and income taxes.

#### Tade Retirement; CFO Transition
As described on the Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2026, on February 20, 2026, Mr. Tade notified the Company that he was retiring from his position as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company effective at the close of business on February 25, 2026, following the filing of the Annual Report. In connection with his transition, Mr. Tade agreed to provide certain transition services to the Company through July 31, 2026 (the "**CFO Transition**"). He was immediately succeeded by Mr. Kohler, the Company's then-Executive Financial Advisor, pursuant to the terms of Mr. Kohler's employment agreement with the Company.

In connection with the CFO Transition, on February 25, 2026, the Company and Mr. Tade entered into a Separation Agreement and Release (the "**Separation Agreement**") and a Consulting Services Agreement (the "**Consulting Agreement**" and, together with the Separation Agreement, the "**Tade Agreements**"). In accordance with the terms of the Tade Agreements, Mr. Tade will provide financial and investor relations-related consulting and transition services to the Company as reasonably requested by the President and Chief Executive Officer and the General Counsel, through July 31, 2026 (the "**Transition Period**").

In connection with the CFO Transition over the Transition Period, Mr. Tade will: (i) remain eligible for his annual bonus earned for 2025 and payable in 2026; (ii) continue to vest in his outstanding RSUs and stock options that are otherwise scheduled to vest over the Transition Period; (iii) receive a monthly consulting fee in the gross amount of $41,666.67; and (iv) subject to timely election of COBRA benefits, receive a payment of the employer portion of the premiums over the Transition Period, plus one additional month should Mr. Tade sign the final release agreement attached to the Separation Agreement within one week following the end of the Transition Period.

#### Tax Considerations
Section 162(m) of the IRC generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to any of the company's chief executive officer and certain other executive officers in any taxable year. Although our Compensation Committee considers tax consequences as a factor when it makes compensation decisions, it retains the discretion and flexibility to make compensation decisions resulting in the grant of non-deductible compensation to the extent it deems that it is appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Prior to 2024, given the structure of the Company's annual bonus program, all amounts paid pursuant to the Company's annual bonus awards were disclosed in the "Bonus" column. Bonus amounts for 2023 include an annual cash bonus of $793,125 for Mr. Grossman, which was paid in March 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Amounts reflected in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of outstanding RSUs granted to each of the named executive officers under the Equity Compensation Plan, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and the assumptions described in Note 2 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Amounts in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of outstanding stock options granted to each of the named executive officers under the Equity Compensation Plan, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and the assumptions described in Note 2 of our notes to consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. We estimate the fair value of each option on the grant date using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: To determine the risk-free interest rate, we utilized the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a term consistent with the expected term of our awards. The expected term of the options granted is in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 which is based on the average between vesting term and contractual term. The expected dividend yield reflects our current and expected future policy for dividends on our common stock. The expected stock price volatility for our stock options was calculated by examining the historical volatility of the Company's common stock since the stock became publicly traded in the fourth quarter of 2013. The material terms of the options held are described in the footnotes to the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal-Year End table.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Annual bonus awards for 2024 and 2025 were paid pursuant to the Company's annual bonus program based upon established performance goals and individual performance, as described in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis. Bonus amounts for 2024 include annual cash bonuses of $1,020,000; $345,000 and $254,475 for each of Mr. Grossman, Ms. Kestenberg and Mr. Tade, respectively, which were paid to the named executive officers in March 2025. Bonus amounts for 2025 include annual cash bonuses of $1,156,250, $359,375 and $250,000 for each of Mr. Grossman, Ms. Kestenberg and Mr. Tade, respectively, which were paid to the named executive officers in March 2025, as well as a discretionary bonus of $15,750 to Mr. Kohler, also paid in March 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) This column represents other compensation, including 401(k) matching contributions by the Company, and Company payment of medical benefits and life insurance premiums for the named executive officers. In 2024, the Company paid $13,800 in 401(k) employer matching contributions to each of Mr. Grossman, Ms. Kestenberg, and Mr. Tade. In 2024, the Company also paid $30,479 for medical benefits and $450 in life insurance premiums for Mr. Grossman, $23,601 for medical benefits and $270 in life insurance premiums for Ms. Kestenberg, and $37,194 for medical benefits and $690 in life insurance premiums for Mr. Tade. In 2025, the Company paid $23,500 in 401(k) employer matching contributions to each of Mr. Grossman, Ms. Kestenberg, and Mr. Tade. In 2025, the Company also paid $32,134 for medical benefits and $450 in life insurance premiums for Mr. Grossman, $30,514 for medical benefits and $270 in life insurance premiums for Ms. Kestenberg, and $49,455 for medical benefits and $690 in life insurance premiums for Mr. Tade, as well as a $11,992 housing allowance for Mr. Kohler.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) Ms. Kestenberg's cash bonus for 2024 performance was erroneously disclosed as $293,625 in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) Mr. Tade transitioned from Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer to a consultant role with the Company effective February 25, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The amounts included in this column reflect the target annual bonus amounts for each named executive officer for fiscal year 2025. The Company's annual bonus program does not provide for threshold and maximum annual bonus amounts. Instead, the Compensation Committee determines target bonus amounts, which may be increased or decreased by the Board based on individual performance of the named executive officers. Annual bonus amounts were paid in March 2026. Refer to the Compensation Discussion & Analysis for additional detail regarding the annual bonus payments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) All other stock awards include RSUs granted to the named executive officers for fiscal year 2025, as described in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) All other option awards include stock options granted to the named executive officers for fiscal year 2025, as described in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Under Mr. Kohler's employment agreement, he became eligible to receive an annual bonus in fiscal 2026, and therefore did not have a target annual bonus for fiscal 2025. For 2025, Mr. Kohler was paid a discretionary bonus of $15,750 in March 2026, which represents approximately a prorated portion of his target annual bonus for 2026 (45% of base salary).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Stock options granted to our named executive officers vest over four years, with 25% vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 75% vesting in equal monthly installments over the following 36 months, subject to the named executive officer's continued employment through the applicable vesting date. Refer to the Compensation Discussion & Analysis for further discussion of the treatment of the stock options upon termination of employment and a change in control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) RSUs granted to our named executive officers vest quarterly on each one-year anniversary of the date of grant, over four years, subject to the named executive officer's continued employment through the applicable vesting date. In each case, the RSUs will settle into shares of the Company common stock upon vesting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The market value of the RSUs was determined by multiplying the number of unvested RSUs by the closing market price of $18.24 of the Company's common stock on December 31, 2025 (the last trading day in 2025).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Reflects options exercised during 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Amount calculated by determining the difference between the market price of the underlying options at exercise and the exercise price of the options.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Shares represent the total number of RSUs that vested during 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Value realized upon vesting of the RSUs represents the total number of shares vested multiplied by the closing price on the vesting date.

#### CEO Pay Ratio
SEC executive compensation disclosure rules require us to disclose the annual total compensation of our CEO for 2025, the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees other than our CEO, as well as their ratio to each other (the "**CEO Pay Ratio**"). During 2025, Mr. Grossman served as our President and Chief Executive Officer. We use the annual total compensation of Mr. Grossman as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table to calculate our pay ratio. The annual total compensation for Mr. Grossman, and for the median of the annual total compensation of all employees is calculated in accordance with SEC rules applicable to the Summary Compensation Table. For 2025, these amounts were as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our CEO's annual total compensation: $10,237,326

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our median compensated employee's annual total compensation: $85,586

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Chief Executive Officer Pay Ratio: 120 to 1

In determining the median compensated employee based on annual total compensation paid, we chose December 31, 2024, as the date used to determine our employee population. As of this date, we had 633 employees, excluding the CEO, of which 626 were full-time salaried employees, with the remaining being part-time employees. There were no seasonal or temporary employees as of this date and no contractors were included in the population. The rules expressly permit the use of a "consistently applied compensation measure" ("**CACM**") to determine our median employee. As our CACM, we used annualized salary for 2024. In determining our median compensated employee and calculating the CEO Pay Ratio, we did not use any of the exemptions permitted under SEC rules.

As permitted under SEC rules, we may identify our median employee for purposes of providing pay ratio disclosure once every three years, provided that there has been no change in the employee population or employee compensation arrangements that we reasonably believe would result in a significant change to the 2025 pay ratio disclosure. In accordance with SEC rules, we determined that, in calculating the CEO Pay Ratio for 2025, there were no changes to the employee population or compensation arrangements in 2025 that would be significant to the pay ratio calculation. Therefore, for the purposes of the 2025 calculations, we continue to use the same median employee that we originally identified in 2024 and our median compensated employee's actual total compensation for 2025 uses the same methodology used to calculate the annual total compensation of our named executive officers for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table.

We believe that the CEO Pay Ratio set forth above is a reasonable estimate for 2025, determined in a manner consistent with SEC rules. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the CEO Pay Ratio based on that

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
employee's annual total compensation permit companies to apply certain exemptions and to make certain assumptions, adjustments, or estimates. Accordingly, the CEO Pay Ratio may not be comparable to the pay ratios reported by other companies, which may have used different methodologies, assumptions, adjustments, or estimates in calculating their pay ratios.

#### Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
The table below describes and estimates the amounts and benefits that our current named executive officers would have been entitled to receive upon a change of control or a termination of their employment in certain circumstances, assuming such events occurred as of December 31, 2025 (based on the plans and arrangements in effect on such date) and a valuation of our common stock based on its closing market price per share on December 31, 2025 (the last trading day of 2025) of $18.24 per share. The table also assumes that each executive will take all action necessary or appropriate for such person to receive the maximum available benefit, such as execution of a release of claims and compliance with restrictive covenants described the Compensation Discussion & Analysis.

For each current named executive officer, the payments and benefits detailed in the table below are in addition to any payments and benefits under our plans and arrangements that are offered or provided generally to all salaried employees on a non-discriminatory basis and any accumulated vested benefits for each named executive officer, including any stock options and restricted stock units vested as of December 31, 2025 (which are set forth in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table).

A description of some elements of the plans, arrangements, and agreements covered by the following tables and which provide for payments or benefits in connection with a termination of employment or change in control are also described in Compensation Discussion & Analysis. The footnotes to the table describe the assumptions that were used in calculating the amounts described below.

## Certain ADMA Relationships and Related Transactions
Our Board is responsible for reviewing and approving all material transactions with any related party on a continuing basis. Related parties can include any of our directors or executive officers, holders of 5% or more of our voting securities and their immediate family members. We may not enter into a related person transaction unless our Board has reviewed and approved such transaction. In reviewing a related person transaction, our Board may consider various factors, including evaluating potential alternative transactions with unrelated persons. We maintain a Related Party Policy that is reviewed with the Board of Directors or a sub-committee annually; the policy addresses the process for identifying, authorizing, and approving transactions with related parties. Our management prepares a related party listing and transaction analysis quarterly and this analysis is reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. We believe the transactions set forth below were executed on terms no less favorable to us than we could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

See "Executive Officers and Director and Officer Compensation" above for a discussion of director compensation, executive compensation and our named executive officers' employment agreements and, in the case of Mr. Tade's, consulting agreement.

#### SHARED SERVICES AGREEMENT
Our executive offices are located in approximately 4,200 square feet of space at 465 State Route 17, Ramsey, New Jersey 07446. Currently we operate under a Shared Services Agreement, as amended from time to time, with Areth for the use of office space, warehouse space and certain related services. We paid Areth $120,000 under this agreement for the year ended December 31, 2025. Effective as of October 1, 2022, the Company and Areth agreed to extend the term of the lease to December 31, 2026 at the current monthly rent, with the agreement automatically renewing for successive one (1)-year periods thereafter unless either party terminates with twelve (12) months' prior written notice. Areth is a company controlled by Dr. Grossman and Mr. Grossman.

## Stockholder Proposals and Other Information

#### DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DIRECTOR
Any stockholder proposal submitted to us pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders must have been received by us at c/o ADMA Biologics, Inc., 465 State Route 17, Ramsey, New Jersey 07446, Attention: Corporate Secretary no later than the close of business on December 16, 2026.

In order for a stockholder to nominate a person for election to the Board or bring other business before the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholder must comply with the advance notice provisions of our Bylaws, which require that the stockholder deliver written notice to the Secretary and comply with the other requirements set forth in the Bylaws. Specifically, we must receive this notice not less than 90 days and not greater than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting. In the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 30 days after the anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and no later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Board's nominees under SEC Rule 14a-19 must comply with the applicable provisions of our Bylaws, as well as complying with the additional requirements of SEC Rule 14a-19, including SEC Rule 14a-19(b).

## Annual Report
Our Annual Report is included with these proxy materials. A copy of our Annual Report, including the financial statements included therein, is also available without charge on our website (www.admabiologics.com) or upon written request to us at c/o ADMA Biologics, Inc., 465 State Route 17, Ramsey, New Jersey 07446, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

## Householding of Meeting Materials
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers, banks and nominees) 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 set of proxy materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies and intermediaries. Under this process, stockholders of record who have the same address and last name will receive a single envelope containing the proxy materials for all stockholders having that address. The proxy materials for each stockholder will include that stockholder's unique control number needed to vote his or her shares.

Upon written or oral request, ADMA will deliver a separate copy of proxy materials to any stockholder at a shared address to which a single set of proxy materials was delivered and who wishes to receive separate sets in the future. Stockholders receiving multiple sets of proxy materials may likewise request that ADMA deliver a single set of proxy materials in the future. Stockholders may notify ADMA of their requests by calling or writing ADMA at its principal executive offices at (201) 478-5552 or 465 State Route 17, Ramsey, New Jersey 07446.

If you are a beneficial owner, you can request information about householding from your broker, bank or nominee.

Solicitation by our officers and employees may also be made of some stockholders in person or by mail, telephone or telegraph following the original solicitation.

## Other Matters
The Board does not know of any matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting other than those listed in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders that accompanies this proxy statement. However, if other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, including a proposal to adjourn or postpone the Annual Meeting as permitted pursuant to our Bylaws, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters insofar as the proxies are not limited to the contrary.

To the extent that information contained in this proxy statement is within the knowledge of persons other than our management, we have relied on such persons for the accuracy and completeness thereof.
