Consulting Agreements

In 2013, Capricor entered into a Consulting Agreement with Dr. Frank Litvack, the Company’s Executive Chairman and a member of its Board of Directors, whereby Capricor agreed to pay Dr. Litvack $10,000 per month for consulting services. The agreement is terminable upon 30 days’ notice. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company paid Dr. Litvack $30,000 each period under this consulting arrangement. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $30,000 and $10,000 were recorded in accounts payable related to this Consulting Agreement, respectively.
