On July 25, 2024, Benjamin Bielak, the Chief Information Officer of iSpecimen Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), until his resignation on July 14, 2024, initiated a Demand for Arbitration against the Company with the American Arbitration Association, pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions contained in Mr. Bielak's employment agreement. The terms and conditions of Mr. Bielak's employment with the Company were governed by his employment agreement, as amended, with the Company.

In his Demand for Arbitration, Mr. Bielak claims that the Company failed to provide him with certain bonus payments allegedly due to him for work performed in 2023 and 2024. Mr. Bielak also claims that the Company failed to provide him with severance payments allegedly due pursuant to the provisions of his employment agreement. The total amount of Mr. Bielak's claim for alleged damages is $586,800 plus attorneys' fees and interest.
