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

| | |
|:---|:---|

---

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

**Research and Development Purchase**

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

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

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

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

· Toxicology

· Screening

· Preclinical Testing

· Assays

· Authorization

· Tools of Biological Transaction

· Tools of Intellectual Property

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

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

**Investment in SPAC Sponsor**

In February 2026, following the approval of the Company's Board of Directors, the Company contributed $125,000 to the capital of Creative Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor"), as an investment in the Sponsor. The Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company formed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer for the purpose of acting as the sponsor of a proposed special purpose acquisition company (the "SPAC") that would conduct a public offering and thereafter seek to effect a merger or other business combination with an acquisition target. Currently, the Sponsor's only members are the Company and the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who has invested $125,000 of his personal funds in the Sponsor. To date, both the SPAC and Sponsor have conducted limited organizing activities, and the funds contributed by the Company to the capital of the Sponsor have not been utilized. It is anticipated that in the event the SPAC does not move forward with its plans to conduct a public offering, the funds contributed by the Company to the Sponsor will be returned to the Company in exchange for the cancellation of the Company's interest in the Sponsor.

**Related-Person Transactions Policy And Procedures**

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

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

**Director Independence** 

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