The Board has fixed the close of business on October 17, 2025 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

We hope you will be able to attend the Meeting. Whether or not you plan on attending the Meeting online, please promptly submit your proxy vote via the Internet, by telephone or by completing, dating, signing and returning the enclosed proxy, so your shares will be represented at the Meeting. Instructions on voting your shares are on the proxy materials you received for the Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting online, it is strongly recommended you vote before the Meeting date, to ensure that your shares will be represented at the Meeting if you are unable to attend.

Details regarding admission to the Meeting and the business to be conducted at the meeting are more fully described in the accompanying Notice of Meeting of Stockholders and proxy statement.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the election of the Class II Directors, “FOR” the approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers, “FOR” the ratification of the appointment by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors of CBIZ CPAs P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, and “FOR” the approval of the adoption of the Company’s 2025 Equity Incentive Plan.

This notice and the attached proxy statement are first being disseminated to stockholders on or about October 31, 2025.

The Company has made these materials available to you on the Internet or, upon your request, has delivered printed versions of these materials to you by mail, in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for use at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Meeting”), which will take place on Thursday, December 11, 2025 at 9:00 am Pacific time via live webcast, and at any postponement(s) or adjournment(s) thereof.

This Proxy Statement gives you information on these proposals so that you can make an informed decision. We intend to mail this Proxy Statement and accompanying proxy card on or about October 31, 2025, to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Meeting.

In this Proxy Statement, we refer to enVVeno Medical Corporation as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” or similar terminology.

These materials include:

If you requested printed versions of these materials by mail, these materials also include the proxy card or voting instruction form for the Meeting.

Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company has elected to provide access to its proxy materials via the Internet instead of mailing printed copies. Accordingly, the Company is sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Internet Availability Notice”) to the Company’s stockholders. Most stockholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless they request them. Instead, instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy may be found with the Internet Availability Notice. All stockholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Internet Availability Notice or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Stockholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by telephone, mail, by logging on to http://www.proxyvote.com or electronically by email on an ongoing basis. The Company encourages stockholders to take advantage of the availability of the proxy materials on the Internet to help reduce the environmental impact of our annual meetings.

The Internet Availability Notice will provide you with instructions regarding how to:

Choosing to receive future proxy materials by email will save the Company the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and will reduce the impact of the Company’s annual meetings on the environment. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email message next year with instructions containing a link to those materials. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it.

Stockholders who owned shares of our common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock” and such shares of held on the Record Date, the “Voting Stock”) on October 17, 2025 (the “Record Date”) may attend and vote at the Meeting. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. There were 20,216,176 shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date. All shares of Voting Stock vote together as a single class. Shares of the Voting Stock represented by executed proxies received by the Company will be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum at the Meeting, regardless of how or whether such shares are voted on any specific proposal. Information about the stockholdings of our directors and executive officers is contained in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Beneficial Ownership of Principal Stockholders, Officers and Directors”.

The proxy card enables you to appoint Robert A. Berman, our Chief Executive Officer, as your representative at the Meeting. By completing and returning the proxy card or voting online as described herein, you are authorizing Mr. Berman to vote your shares at the Meeting in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, we think that it is a good idea to complete and return your proxy card before the Meeting date just in case your plans change. If a proposal comes up for vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card, the proxies will vote your shares, under your proxy, according to their best judgment. The proxy card (or voter information form) will also contain your control number. You will need to use the control number appearing on your proxy card to vote prior to or at the Meeting.

You are being asked to vote on the following proposals:

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the election of the Class II Directors, “FOR” the approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers, “FOR” the ratification of the appointment by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors of CBIZ CPAs P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, and “FOR” the approval of the adoption of the Company’s 2025 Equity Incentive Plan.

Most of our stockholders hold their shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder, rather than holding share certificates in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, you are a “stockholder of record” who may vote at the Meeting, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares as described below. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, please complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted.

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm or at a bank or other nominee holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held “in street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by or at the direction of your broker or nominee who is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to vote your shares and to attend the Meeting as described below. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, please vote prior to the Meeting as described below to ensure that your vote is counted.

There are four ways to vote:

There are four ways to request a paper copy of proxy materials:

Please make your request for a paper copy as instructed above on or before November 28, 2025 to facilitate timely delivery.

You may have multiple accounts at the transfer agent and/or with brokerage firms. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the Meeting. You may do this by:

Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, you may need to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee that you wish to change your vote by following the procedures on the voting form provided to you by the broker, bank or other nominee.

If your shares are held in your name and you do not sign and return your proxy card or vote online, your shares will not be voted unless you vote at the Meeting. If you hold your shares in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, your nominee may determine to vote your shares at its own discretion on the ratification of the Company’s independent public accountant since such matter is a routine matter, absent instructions from you. However, due to voting rules that may prevent your bank or broker from voting your uninstructed shares on a discretionary basis in the election of directors, the compensation of our named executive officers, the adoption of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan and other non-routine matters, it is important that you cast your vote.

Your voting options will be dependent on the particular proposal for which you wish to cast a vote. With respect to proposal 1 (the election of directors), you may vote “for” the director nominee or “withhold” authority to vote for the director nominee. With respect to proposal 2 (advisory vote on executive compensation), proposal 3 (ratification of the Company’s independent public accountant) and proposal 4 (approval of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan), you may vote “for” or “against” the proposal or you may “abstain” from casting a vote on such proposal. Abstentions, votes marked “withheld” and broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting.

Broker non-votes occur on a matter when a broker is not permitted to vote on that matter without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. These matters are referred to as “non-routine” matters. The election of the directors, the advisory vote on compensation of our named executive officers, and the adoption of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan are “non-routine.” Thus, in tabulating the voting result for these proposals, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered votes cast on those proposals. The ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent public accountant is a “routine” matter and therefore a broker may vote on this matter without instructions from the beneficial owner as long as instructions are not given.

Our amended and restated bylaws provide that directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that the two (2) candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes at the Meeting will be elected as Class II directors. Only shares that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a plurality. Shares present at the Meeting that are not voted for a particular nominee or shares present by proxy where the stockholder properly withheld authority to vote for such nominee will not be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a plurality.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of the corporation which are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes against the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of the corporation which are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required to ratify CBIZ CPAs P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against this proposal, but since this is a routine matter, brokers may vote at the Meeting on this proposal provided that they have not received instructions from a beneficial owner.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of the corporation which are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve the adoption of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes against the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the approval of the adoption of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan.

If you just sign your proxy card without providing further instructions, your shares will be counted as a “for” vote for the election of the Class II Directors, a “for” vote for the approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers, a “for” vote for the ratification of the appointment by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors of CBIZ CPAs P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, a “for” vote for the approval of the adoption of the Company’s 2025 Equity Incentive Plan. If a proposal comes up for a vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card, the proxy will vote according to his best judgment.

Proxies, ballots and voting tabulations identifying stockholders are kept confidential and will not be disclosed except as may be necessary to meet legal requirements.

We will announce voting results at the Meeting and file a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the voting results of the Meeting.

Only holders of shares of Voting Stock on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of holders of record of a majority of the Voting Shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of the Record Date shall be required for a quorum to transact business at the Meeting. If a quorum should not be present, the Meeting may be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.

For purposes of Proposal 1, the two (2) candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes at the Meeting will be elected as a Class II directors. Only shares that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a plurality. Shares present at the Meeting that are not voted for a particular nominee or shares present by proxy where the stockholder properly withheld authority to vote for such nominee will not be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a plurality.

For purposes of Proposal 2, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of the corporation which are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes against the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers.

For purposes of Proposal 3, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of the corporation which are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required to ratify CBIZ CPAs P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025.

For purposes of Proposal 4, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of the corporation which are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan.

In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited by officers, directors and regular employees of the Company, without additional remuneration, by personal interviews, telephone, email or facsimile transmission. The Company will also request brokerage firms, nominees, custodians and fiduciaries to forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock held of record and will provide reimbursements for the cost of forwarding the material in accordance with customary charges.

Proxies given by stockholders of record for use at the Meeting may be revoked at any time prior to the exercise of the powers conferred. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, stockholders of record giving a proxy may revoke the proxy by an instrument in writing, executed by the stockholder or his attorney authorized in writing or, if the stockholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal, by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, and deposited either at the corporate headquarters of the Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournments thereof, at which the proxy is to be used, or with the chairman of such Meeting on the day of the Meeting or adjournments thereof, and upon either of such deposits the proxy is revoked.

None of Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation, or our bylaws, each as amended, provides for appraisal or other similar rights for dissenting stockholders in connection with any of the proposals to be voted upon at this Meeting. Accordingly, our stockholders will have no right to dissent and obtain payment for their shares.

ALL PROXIES RECEIVED WILL BE VOTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CHOICES SPECIFIED ON SUCH PROXIES. PROXIES WILL BE VOTED IN THE MANNER RECOMMENDED BY THE BOARD IF NO CONTRARY SPECIFICATION IS MADE. ALL VALID PROXIES OBTAINED WILL BE VOTED AT THE DISCRETION OF THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE PROXY WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THE MEETING.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF THE CLASS II DIRECTORS, “FOR” THE APPROVAL, ON A NON-BINDING, ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF CBIZ CPAS P.C. AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025, AND “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADOPTION OF THE COMPANY’S 2025 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN.

The Board currently consists of three classes of directors, as follows:

At the Meeting, stockholders will be asked to elect each of Matthew M. Jenusaitis and Robert A. Berman as Class II directors to hold office until the 2028 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier death, incapacity, removal or resignation. The Board has nominated Matthew M. Jenusaitis and Robert A. Berman to stand for election at the Meeting.

The proxy, if returned, and unless indicated to the contrary, will be voted for the election of Matthew M. Jenusaitis and Robert A. Berman. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named.

We have been advised by Matthew M. Jenusaitis and Robert A. Berman that they are willing to be named as a nominees and each is willing to serve as a director if elected. If some unexpected occurrence should make necessary, in the discretion of the Board, the substitution of some other person for the nominees, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote for the election of such other person as may be designated by the Board.

Listed below are the names of the directors and executive officers of the Company, their ages as of the Record Date, their positions held and the year they commenced service with the Company.

There are no arrangements between our directors and any other person pursuant to which our directors were nominated or elected for their positions. There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers.

Robert A. Berman has served as our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors since April of 2018. Mr. Berman has over 25 years of experience in a broad variety of areas including healthcare, finance, acquisitions, marketing, compliance, turnarounds, and the development and licensing of emerging technologies. From September 2012 until July 2017, he served as the President, Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board of Directors of ITUS Corporation (now called Anixa Biosciences), which at the time he joined the company was a developer of flat panel display technologies, and under his leadership became a Nasdaq listed cancer therapeutics company. From 2000 to March 2007, Mr. Berman was the Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel of Acacia Research Corporation, where he successfully transitioned the company from being an incubator of internet startups into a preeminent, publicly traded company for licensing and enforcing patented technologies with a market cap exceeding $2 billion. Mr. Berman started his career at the law firm of Blank Rome. Mr. Berman has a B.S. in

Entrepreneurial Management from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and holds a J.D. from the Northwestern University School of Law, where he is an adjunct faculty member. We believe that Mr. Berman is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors because of his experience in a broad variety of areas including healthcare, finance, acquisitions, marketing, compliance, turnarounds, and the development and licensing of emerging technologies.

Dr. Francis Duhay has served as member of our board of directors since October 2018. He is an accomplished heart surgeon, entrepreneur, and corporate executive. Board certified in general (UCSF) and cardiothoracic surgery (Duke), his seminal work in minimally invasive cardiac surgery led to 32 patents for surgical devices used in thousands of heart operations. Dr Duhay left clinical practice for industry in 2008, where he served as Vice President and General Manager of the nascent transcatheter heart valve therapy program (Ascendra) at Edwards Lifesciences (“Edwards”), the world’s leading manufacturer of bioprosthetic heart valves. With European CE Mark, he oversaw growth in sales of transcatheter heart valves from $3M to over $250M within the first four years of commercial launch. Promoted to Vice President of Global Medical & Clinical Affairs, he led planning and execution of four US FDA pivotal clinical trials. He was eventually promoted to Chief Medical Officer, where, in addition to overseeing Global Medical & Clinical Affairs, he supported other areas within Edwards including Health Economics & Reimbursement in its successful application for a procedure code, payment, and coverage of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and Regulatory Affairs, as an industry representative and clinical expert on the ISO 5840:2014 and 5910:2018 cardiac valve working groups. After departing Edwards, he co-founded and led Koa Accel, a major medical device accelerator in the Orange County, CA, ecosystem. This bore three medical device startups – Makani Science (selected into the 2021 cohort of the prestigious Y-Combinator), Kino Discovery (selected into the 2021 cohort of MedTech Innovator), and Kahala Biosciences. Most recently, Dr Duhay served as Senior Vice President of Global Medical & Clinical Affairs for Olympus Corporation, the world’s leading manufacturer of colonoscopes, duodenoscopes, bronchoscopes, and cystoscopes. We believe that Dr. Duhay is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors because he is a trained cardiac and thoracic surgeon and former Chief Medical Officer at Edwards Life Sciences.

Dr. Sanjay Shrivastava has served as a member of our board of directors since October 2018. He has been involved in developing, commercializing, evaluating, and acquiring medical devices for more than 24 years, including serving in leadership positions in research and development, business development, and marketing at J&J, BTG, plc, Medtronic, Abbott Vascular, and Edwards Life Sciences.

Prior to this, he co-founded BlackSwan Vascular, Inc., where he served on its board of directors and led a strategic alliance including the acquisition deal with Sirtex Medical. Sirtex Medical’s parent company acquired BlackSwan Vascular, Inc. in 2023. Dr. Shrivastava worked on several acquisition and investment deals during his roles as a senior director, business development at J&J and a vice president, upstream marketing and strategy at BTG, plc, which had an annual revenue of about $800 million and is now part of Boston Scientific Corporation through an acquisition. At Medtronic, Dr. Shrivastava was the Director of Global Marketing for the Cardiac and Vascular Group where he helped build the embolization business, from its initiation to a substantial revenue with a very high CAGR over a period of six years. Dr. Shrivastava was part of the peripheral vascular business at Abbott Vascular and worked on trans-catheter heart valve repair and replacement products at Edwards Life Sciences. Dr. Shrivastava received his Bachelor of Engineering degree at the Indian Institute of Technology and a doctorate degree in materials science and engineering from the University of Florida. We believe that Dr. Shrivastava is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors because of having served in Chief Executive Officer and board of director positions at several medical device start-ups, and leadership positions in research and development, business development, and marketing at Innova Vascular, Inc., BTG, Medtronic, Abbott Vascular, and Edwards Life Sciences.

Matthew M. Jenusaitis has served as a member of our board of directors since September 2019.

In addition, Mr. Jenusaitis was the President of the Peripheral Division at Boston Scientific (July 2003 to August 2005) and was an Executive in Residence at Warburg Pincus (September 2005 to March 2006). Mr. Jenusaitis has an MBA from the University of California, Irvine, a Masters Degree in Biomedical Engineering from Arizona State University, and a Bachelors Degree in Chemical Engineering from Cornell University. We believe that Mr. Jenusaitis is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors because of over 30 years of health care experience with an emphasis on building and selling companies that develop medical devices to treat vascular diseases and his prior board experiences.

Robert C. Gray has served as a member of our board of directors since September 2019. He had a 20-year career at Highmark, Inc., one of America’s largest health insurance organizations, which serves over 20 million subscribers, and includes Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Pennsylvania, Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware, and Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield West Virginia, which he retired from in 2008.

Mr. Gray also currently serves as Chairman and President of Metropolitan Woodworks, Inc., a manufacturer of custom kitchen cabinetry based in North Carolina. Mr. Gray engaged in Postgraduate Studies at the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill and has an undergraduate degree from Bucknell University. We believe that Mr. Gray is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors because of his financial and medical reimbursement expertise having served as the Chief Financial Officer at Highmark, Inc., one of America’s largest health insurance organization.

Our directors hold office until the earlier of their death, incapacity, removal or resignation, or until their successors have been elected and qualified. Our board of directors does not have a formal policy on whether the roles of a Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our board of directors should be separate. The primary responsibilities of our board of directors are to provide oversight, strategic guidance, counseling and direction to our management. Our board of directors meets on a regular basis. Our bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors.

We have no formal policy regarding board diversity. Our priority in selection of board members is identification of members who will further the interests of our stockholders through his or her established record of professional accomplishment, the ability to contribute positively to the collaborative culture among board members, knowledge of our business and understanding of the competitive landscape.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation divides our board of directors into three classes, with staggered three-year terms, as follows:

Class I Directors (serving until the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until their earlier death, disability, resignation or removal):

Dr. Francis Duhay* and Dr. Sanjay Shrivastava*

Class II Directors (serving until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until their earlier death, disability, resignation or removal):

Matthew M. Jenusaitis*, Robert A. Berman

Class III Director (serving until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until his earlier death, disability, resignation or removal):

Robert C. Gray*

(*) Independent Director.

At each annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the initial classification, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will serve until the third annual meeting following their election and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The authorized size of our board of directors is currently five members. The authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed between the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. This classification of the board of directors may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in our control or management. Our directors may be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of our Voting Stock.

The Nasdaq Marketplace Rules require a majority of a listed company’s board of directors to be comprised of independent directors within one year of listing. In addition, the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent and that audit committee members also satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

Under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of our board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee, accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

Our board of directors has reviewed the composition of our board of directors and its committees and the independence of each director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our board of directors has determined that each of Dr. Duhay, Mr. Gray, Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava is an “independent director” as defined under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Our board of directors also determined that Mr. Gray, Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava will serve on our audit committee, Mr. Gray and Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava will serve on our compensation committee, and Dr. Duhay, Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava will serve on our nominating and corporate governance committee, and that each of the committees satisfy the independence standards for such committees established by the SEC and the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, as applicable. In making such determinations, our board of directors considered the relationships that each such non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director.

Our board of directors met in person and telephonically five (5) times during 2024 and also acted by unanimous written consent. All of the members of our board of directors were present during at least 75% of the board of director meetings and all of the members of the respective committees of the board of directors were present during at least 67% of such committee meetings held. There were four (4) Audit Committee meetings, three (3) Compensation Committee meetings and no Nominating or Corporate Governance meetings held in 2024. Our board of directors had 100% attendance for the annual meeting that convened on December 18, 2024. It is our policy that all directors must attend all stockholder meetings, barring extenuating circumstances.

Our board of directors has established three standing committees-audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance-each of which operates under a charter that has been approved by our board of directors. Copies of each committee’s charter are posted on the Investors section of our website, which is located at https://envveno.com/. Each committee has the composition and responsibilities described below. Our board of directors may from time to time establish other committees.

Our audit committee consists of Mr. Gray, who is the chair of the audit committee, Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava. Our board of directors has determined that each of the members of our audit committee satisfies the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and SEC independence requirements. The functions of this committee include, among other things:

Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Gray qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of applicable SEC regulations and meets the financial sophistication requirements of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Both our independent registered public accounting firm and management periodically meet privately with our audit committee.

Our compensation committee consists of Dr. Shrivastava, who is the chair of the committee, Mr. Gray and Mr. Jenusaitis. Our board of directors has determined that each of the members of our compensation committee is an outside director, as defined pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and satisfies the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules independence requirements. The functions of this committee include, among other things:

Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Dr. Duhay, who is the chair of the committee, Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava. Our board of directors has determined that each of the members of this committee satisfies the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules independence requirements. The functions of this committee include, among other things:

Our board of directors has adopted a written code of conduct that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. We have posted on our website a current copy of the code and all disclosures that are required by law or Nasdaq Marketplace Rules concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the code.

We have adopted a formal policy against insider trading which provides guidelines to all of our directors, officers and employees with respect to trading in our securities, as well as the securities of publicly traded companies with whom we have a business relationship. This policy has been designed to prevent insider trading or even allegations of insider trading.

Our board of directors is free to select the Chairman of the board of directors and a Chief Executive Officer in a manner that it considers to be in the best interests of our company at the time of selection. Currently, Robert A. Berman serves as our Chief Executive Officer and we do not currently have a Chairman of our board. Additionally, four of our five members of our board of directors have been deemed to be “independent” by the board of directors, which we believe provides sufficient independent oversight of our management. Our board of directors has not designated a lead independent director.

Our board of directors, as a whole and also at the committee level, plays an active role overseeing the overall management of our risks. Our Audit Committee reviews risks related to financial and operational items with our management and our independent registered public accounting firm. Our board of directors is in regular contact with our Chief Executive Officer, who reports directly to our board of directors and who supervises day-to-day risk management.

Our board of directors believes that risk management is an important part of establishing, updating and executing on our business strategy. Our board of directors has oversight responsibility relating to risks that could affect the corporate strategy, business objectives, compliance, operations, and the financial condition and performance of our company. Our board of directors focuses its oversight on the most significant risks facing us and on our processes to identify, prioritize, assess, manage and mitigate those risks. Our board of directors receives regular reports from members of our senior management on areas of material risk to us, including strategic, operational, financial, legal and regulatory risks. While our board of directors has an oversight role, management is principally tasked with direct responsibility for management and assessment of risks and the implementation of processes and controls to mitigate their effects on us.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock (referred to herein as the “reporting persons”) file with the SEC various reports as to their ownership of and activities relating to our common stock. Such reporting persons are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

Based solely upon a review of copies of Section 16(a) reports and representations received by us from reporting persons, and without conducting any independent investigation of our own, in fiscal year 2024 all Forms 3, 4 and 5 were timely filed with the SEC by such reporting persons.

The following is a description of transactions since January 1, 2024 to which we were a party in which (i) the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of (A) $120,000 or (B) one percent of our average total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years and (ii) any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more

than 5% of our capital stock, or any member of the immediate family of, or person sharing the household with, any of the foregoing persons, who had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than equity and other compensation, termination, change in control and other similar arrangements, which are described under “Executive Compensation.”

Perceptive Life Sciences Master Fund, Ltd. (“Perceptive”), a holder of greater than 5% of our Common Stock based on the Schedule 13G/A filed by Perceptive on November 14, 2024, participated as an investor in a financing with the Company pursuant to a purchase agreement that was executed on October 6, 2023. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, Perceptive purchased pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase 861,192 shares of Common Stock, Tranche A Warrants (the “Tranche A Warrants”) to purchase 861,192 shares of Common Stock, and Tranche B Warrants (the “Tranche B Warrants”) to purchase 861,192 shares of Common Stock for a combined purchase price per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Tranche A Warrant and Tranche B Warrant of $5.8059. The warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $6.945 per share for the Tranche A Warrants, $8.334 per share for the Tranche B Warrants, and a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per share for the Pre-Funded Warrants. The Tranche A Warrants expired on April 5, 2024, the thirtieth (30th) calendar day following the release by the Company of initial top line efficacy data including rVCSS data constituting a 3 or more point improvement for the SAVVE clinical trial. The Tranche B Warrants will expire on the date that is the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the thirtieth (30th) calendar day following the PMA Approval by the U.S. FDA for the VenoValve or (ii) October 12, 2026. The Pre-Funded Warrants will terminate when they are exercised in full and as of October 17, 2025, all Pre-Funded Warrants purchased by Perceptive have been exercised. The offering closed on October 11, 2023.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that we will indemnify each of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Further, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers, and we intend to purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances. For further information, see “Executive Compensation—Limitations of Liability and Indemnification Matters.”

To the best of our knowledge, during the past two fiscal years, other than as set forth above, there were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which we were or are to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of (A) $120,000 or (B) one percent of our average total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any director or executive officer, or any security holder who is known by us to own of record or beneficially more than 5% of any class of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, has an interest (other than compensation to our officers and directors in the ordinary course of business).

For purposes of Proposal 1, the two (2) candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes at the Meeting will be elected as a Class II directors. Only shares that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a plurality. Shares present at the Meeting that are not voted for a particular nominee or shares present by proxy where the stockholder properly withheld authority to vote for such nominee will not be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a plurality

The following table sets forth total compensation paid to our named executive officers for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Individuals we refer to as our “named executive officers” include our current Chief Executive Officer, our current Chief Financial Officer and our other most highly compensated executive officer whose salary and bonus for services rendered in all capacities exceeded $100,000 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

We have entered into various employment agreements with certain of our executive officers. Set forth below is a summary of many of the material provisions of such agreements, which summaries do not purport to contain all of the material terms and conditions of each such agreement. For purposes of the following employment agreements:

On March 30, 2018, we entered into an employment agreement with Robert A. Berman, our current Chief Executive Officer and director. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Berman’s base salary was initially $400,000, subject to annual review and adjustment at the discretion of our compensation committee. In November 2021 the board of directors increased Mr. Berman’s base salary to $450,000 for 2022 and $500,000 commencing in 2023. In December 2024 the board of directors increased Mr. Berman’s base salary to $525,000. Mr. Berman also participates in an annual discretionary bonus pool where he is eligible for a bonus of up to 60% of his base salary. The bonus amount actually paid, if any, is subject to the achievement of key performance indicators established each year by our compensation committee. Mr. Berman may also receive additional discretionary bonuses as determined by our compensation committee. Mr. Berman’s employment agreement may be terminated at any time with or without cause and with or without notice or for good reason thereunder.

Mr. Berman is entitled to participate in our employee benefit, pension and/or profit sharing plans, and we will pay certain health and dental premiums on his behalf. Mr. Berman’s employment agreement prohibits him from inducing, soliciting or entertaining any of our employees to leave our employ during the term of the agreement and for 12 months thereafter.

Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Berman is entitled to severance in the event of certain terminations of employment. In the event Mr. Berman’s employment is terminated by us without cause and other than by reason of disability or he resigns for good reason, subject to his timely executing a release of claims in our favor and in addition to certain other accrued benefits, he is entitled to receive 12 months of continued base salary (or 24 months if such termination occurs within 24 months following a change of control).

In connection with his employment, Mr. Berman received an initial equity grant of an option to purchase 43,209 shares for $10.00 per share, with 8,642 vesting on the date of his Employment Agreement, March 30, 2018, and the remaining 80% vested ratably on a monthly basis over the following 24 months. In February 2021, the board of directors approved an option grant to Mr. Berman to purchase 838,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.20 per share (the closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 18, 2021). The stock option vested in equal quarterly installments over a two-year period. In November 2021, the board of directors approved an option grant to Mr. Berman to purchase 349,781 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.70 per share (the closing price of the Company’s common stock on November 30, 2021). The stock option vested in equal quarterly installments over a three-year period. Also in November 2021, the board of directors granted Mr. Berman 200,000 restricted stock units. The restricted stock units were initially subject to milestone-based vesting as follows: (i) 50% upon SAVVE (Surgical Anti-reflux Venous Valve Endoprosthesis) endpoints being achieved, and (ii) 50% upon the Pre-Market Approval of the VenoValve. On December 5, 2023, the Board removed the first vesting condition and conditioned vesting of all 200,000 of the restricted stock units on the Pre-Market Approval of the VenoValve. In December 2023, the board of directors approved

an option grant to Mr. Berman to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.59 per share (the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 4, 2023).

Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Glynn provided for an initial salary of $225,000 per year, subject to annual review and adjustment at the discretion of the Board. In November 2024 the board of directors increased Mr. Glynn’s base salary to $262,500. Mr. Glynn also participates in an annual discretionary bonus pool where he is eligible for a bonus of up to 20% of his base salary. The bonus amount actually paid, if any, is subject to the achievement of key performance indicators established each year by our compensation committee. Mr. Glynn may also receive additional discretionary bonuses as determined by our compensation committee. The board of directors paid Mr. Glynn a cash bonus of $38,750 for 2024. The employment agreement further provides that Mr. Glynn is entitled to participate in any employee benefit plans that the Company has adopted or may adopt.

Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Glynn’s employment is terminable due to Mr. Glynn’s disability or death, for “Cause” (as defined in the employment agreement) or without “Cause” by the Company, and for “Good Reason” (as defined in the employment agreement) or voluntarily by Mr. Glynn. In the event of Mr. Glynn’s death or disability, or termination for “Cause” by the Company or without “Good Reason” by Mr. Glynn, Mr. Glynn (or his estate) is entitled to receive any unpaid base salary through the termination date, reimbursement for unreimbursed business expenses, accrued but unused vacation time in accordance with the Company’s policy and any other payments or benefits that Mr. Glynn is entitled to in accordance with any Company benefit plans (collectively, the “Accrued Benefits”). Upon termination without “Cause” (other than by reason of death or disability) or resignation for “Good Reason,” Mr. Glynn will be entitled to three months of severance for each year Mr. Glynn is employed up to one year of severance, in addition to all Accrued Benefits. Any outstanding unvested securities owned by Mr. Glynn on the termination date will vest (or terminate) in accordance with the terms of such grant.

In February 2021, the board of directors approved an option grant to Mr. Glynn to purchase 324,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $8.20 per share (the closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 18, 2021). The stock options vest in equal quarterly installments over a three-year period with a six-month cliff.

The initial term of Dr. Glickman’s Pre-existing Employment Agreement ended on December 31, 2018 and was automatically extended for an additional three-year term.

On July 26, 2019, we entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Glickman (the “New Employment Agreement”) that supersedes the terms of the Pre-existing Employment Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the New Employment Agreement, Dr. Glickman’s base salary is $350,000 per year, subject to annual review and adjustment at the discretion of the Board.

The bonus amount actually paid, if any, is subject to the achievement of key performance indicators established each year by our compensation committee. Dr. Glickman may also receive additional discretionary bonuses as determined by our compensation committee.

In connection with entering into the New Employment Agreement, Dr. Glickman’s existing seven thousand three hundred and eighty (7,380) options (“Existing Options”) to purchase Company common stock at two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00) per share until October 1, 2026, were repriced to fifty dollars ($50.00) per share.

Pursuant to the terms of the New Employment Agreement, Dr. Glickman is an at-will employee and is entitled to severance in the event of certain terminations of his employment. In the event that Dr. Glickman’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the New Employment Agreement), other than by reason of Disability (as defined in the New Employment Agreement), or he resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the New Employment Agreement), subject to his timely executing a release of claims in favor of the Company and in addition to certain other accrued benefits, Dr. Glickman is entitled to receive three months of his base salary for each year that he has been employed by the Company at the time of termination, up to a total of one year of his base salary.

In February 2021, the board of directors approved an option grant to Dr. Glickman to purchase 406,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.20 per shares (the closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 18, 2021).

Additionally, the board of directors paid Mr. Glickman a cash bonus of $56,963 and $73,500 for 2024 and 2023, respectively.

On July 29, 2020, we entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Hamed Alavi, our Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer (the “Employment Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, Mr. Alavi’s base salary was $190,000, subject to annual review and adjustment at the discretion of our board of directors.

In November 2021 the board of directors increased Mr. Alavi’s base salary to $240,000 and, in November 2022, the board of directors increased Mr. Alavi’s annual base salary to $300,000. Additionally, the board of directors paid Mr. Alavi a cash bonus of $46,500 and $60,000 for 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Alavi’s employment is terminable due to Mr. Alavi’s disability or death, for “Cause” (as defined in the employment agreement) or without “Cause” by the Company, and for “Good Reason” (as defined in the employment agreement) or voluntarily by Mr. Alavi. In the event of Mr. Alavi’s

death or disability, or termination for “Cause” by the Company or without “Good Reason” by Mr. Alavi, Mr. Alavi (or his estate) is entitled to receive any unpaid base salary through the termination date, reimbursement for unreimbursed business expenses, accrued but unused vacation time in accordance with the Company’s policy and any other payments or benefits that Mr. Alavi is entitled to in accordance with any Company benefit plans (collectively, the “Accrued Benefits”). Upon termination without “Cause” (other than by reason of death or disability) or resignation for “Good Reason,” Mr. Alavi will be entitled to three months of severance for each year Mr. Alavi is employed up to one year of severance, in addition to all Accrued Benefits. Any outstanding unvested securities owned by Mr. Alavi on the termination date will vest (or terminate) in accordance with the terms of such grant.

Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreements discussed above, we will pay severance in the event of certain terminations of employment. In the event employment is terminated by us without cause and other than by reason of disability or if the executive resigns for good reason, subject to his or her timely executing a release of claims in our favor and in addition to certain other accrued benefits, he or she is entitled to receive severance pursuant to the terms of his or her employment agreements discussed above.

The following table sets forth information regarding equity awards held by our named executive officers as of December 31, 2024.

On October 1, 2016, our board of directors and our stockholders adopted and approved the enVVeno Medical Corporation 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and, subsequently, on April 26, 2018, our board of directors and our stockholders adopted and approved the Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan which was subsequently amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan following receipt of stockholder approval on December 17, 2020 and by Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan following receipt of stockholder approval on November 30, 2021 (as amended, the “2016 Plan”). The principal features of the 2016 Plan are summarized below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the 2016 Plan, which is filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We currently have reserved 7,150,497 shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2016 Plan, provided, however, if at any time the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or securities that are convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to the Plan) then the number of shares authorized to be awarded under the Plan shall increase to an amount equal to no less than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis. Such increase, if any, shall occur automatically upon each applicable issuance of securities by the Company. All shares available for issuance under the Plan may be granted as incentive stock options under Code Section 422. The shares of common stock issuable under the 2016 Plan will consist of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or shares purchased on the open market or otherwise, all as determined by our company from time to time.

If any award is cancelled, terminates, expires or lapses for any reason prior to the issuance of shares or if shares are issued under the 2016 Plan and thereafter are forfeited to us, the shares subject to such awards and the forfeited shares will not count against the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for grant under the 2016 Plan. In addition, the following items will not count against the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for grant under the 2016 Plan: (1) shares issued under the 2016 Plan repurchased or surrendered at no more

than cost or pursuant to an option exchange program, (2) any award that is settled in cash rather than by issuance of shares of common stock, (3) shares surrendered or tendered in payment of the option price or purchase price of an award or any taxes required to be withheld in respect of an award or (4) awards granted in assumption of or in substitution for awards previously granted by an acquired company.

The 2016 Plan may be administered by our board of directors or our compensation committee. Our compensation committee, in its discretion, selects the individuals to whom awards may be granted, the time or times at which such awards are granted and the terms and conditions of such awards. Our board of directors also has the authority, subject to the terms of the 2016 Plan, to amend existing options (including to reduce the option’s exercise price), to institute an exchange program by which outstanding options may be surrendered in exchange for options that may have different exercise prices and terms, restricted stock, and/or cash or other property.

Awards may be granted under the 2016 Plan to officers, employees, directors, consultants and advisors of us and our affiliates. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of us or our subsidiaries.

The 2016 Plan permits the granting of any or all of the following types of awards:

All cash and equity awards granted under the 2016 plan will be subject to all applicable laws regarding the recovery of erroneously awarded compensation pursuant to Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act, any implementing rules and regulations under such laws, any policies we adopted to implement such requirements and any other compensation recovery policies as we may adopt from time to time, including our recently adopted clawback policy that was adopted in accordance with Nasdaq rules.

Under the 2016 Plan, in the event of a change in control (as defined in the 2016 Plan), outstanding awards will be treated in accordance with the applicable transaction agreement. If no treatment is provided for in the transaction agreement, each award holder will be entitled to receive the same consideration that stockholders receive in the change in control for each share of stock subject to the award holder’s awards, upon the exercise, payment or transfer of the awards, but the awards will remain subject to the same terms, conditions and performance criteria applicable to the awards before the change in control, unless otherwise determined by our compensation committee. In connection with a change in control, outstanding stock options and SARs can be cancelled in exchange for the excess of the per share consideration paid to stockholders in the transaction, minus the option or SARs exercise price.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreements, awards granted to non-employee directors will fully vest on an accelerated basis, and any performance goals will be deemed to be satisfied at target. For awards granted to all other service providers, vesting of awards will depend on whether the awards are assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity.

Unless earlier terminated by our board of directors, the 2016 Plan will terminate, and no further awards may be granted, 10 years after October 1, 2016, the date on which it was approved by our stockholders. Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the 2016 Plan at any time, except that, if required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule, stockholder approval will be required for any amendment. The amendment, suspension or termination of the 2016 Plan or the amendment of an outstanding award generally may not, without a participant’s consent, materially impair the participant’s rights under an outstanding award.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties, except for liability that cannot be eliminated under the DGCL. Consequently, our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for any of the following:

Our amended and restated bylaws also provide that we will indemnify our directors and executive officers and may indemnify our other officers and employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our amended and restated bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in this capacity, regardless of whether our amended and restated bylaws would permit indemnification. We have obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in our amended and restated bylaws. These agreements, among other things, provide for indemnification of our directors and executive officers for expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by this person in any action or proceeding arising out of this person’s services as a director or executive officer or at our request. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers.

The above description of the indemnification provisions of our amended and restated bylaws and our indemnification agreements is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to these documents, each of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and may be unenforceable. There is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.

In accordance with Item 402(v) requirements, we are providing the following charts to describe the relationships between CAP to our NEOs and our financial performance, in each case presented in the charts below: 1) TSR and 2) Net Loss.

The Board determines the form and amount of director compensation after its review of recommendations made by the Compensation Committee. A substantial portion of each director’s annual retainer is in the form of equity. Under the Company’s nonemployee director compensation program members of the Board who are not also Company employees (“Non-Employee Directors”) are granted options worth up to thirty-seven thousand five hundred dollars ($37,500) per annum (the “Annual Award”). A Non-Employee Director who is newly appointed to the Board other than in connection with an annual meeting of stockholders will generally receive a grant of two thousand four hundred (2,400) options and RSUs worth up to seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000) upon appointment (an “Initial Award”), which covers their compensation for their first three years of service. The Initial Award and Annual Award to Non-Employee Directors will vest as long as they remain directors in equal annual portions over three years following the date on which the award is granted.

The table below shows the compensation paid to our non-employee directors during 2024 and 2023.

The following Report of the Audit Committee (the “Audit Report”) does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Audit Report by reference therein.

The Audit Committee’s primary responsibilities fall into three broad categories:

First, the Audit Committee is charged with monitoring the preparation of quarterly and annual financial reports by the Company’s management, including discussions with management and the Company’s outside auditors about draft annual financial statements and key accounting and reporting matters.

Second, the Audit Committee is responsible for matters concerning the relationship between the Company and its outside auditors, including recommending their appointment or removal; reviewing the scope of their audit services and related fees, as well as any other services being provided to the Company; and determining whether the outside auditors are independent (based in part on the annual letter provided to the Company pursuant to Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1).

Third, the Audit Committee reviews financial reporting, policies, procedures and internal controls of the Company. The Audit Committee has implemented procedures to ensure that during the course of each fiscal year it devotes the attention that it deems necessary or appropriate to each of the matters assigned to it under the Audit Committee’s charter. In overseeing the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, the Audit Committee met with management and the Company’s outside auditors to review and discuss all financial statements prior to their issuance and to discuss significant accounting issues. Management advised the Audit Committee that all financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Audit Committee discussed the statements with both management and the outside auditors. The Audit Committee’s review included discussion with the outside auditors of matters required to be discussed pursuant to Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees).

With respect to the Company’s outside auditors, the Audit Committee, among other things, discussed with Marcum LLP matters relating to its independence, including the disclosures made to the Audit Committee as required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees).

Recommendations of the Audit Committee. In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Board approve the inclusion of the Company’s audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, for filing with the SEC.

In accordance with Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the following proposal, commonly known as a “Say on Pay” proposal, enables our stockholders to vote to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with applicable SEC rules.

Our goal for our executive compensation program is to attract, motivate and retain a talented team of executives who will provide leadership for our success, and thereby increase stockholder value. We believe that our executive compensation program satisfies this goal and is strongly aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders. We urge stockholders to read the section titled “Executive Compensation” elsewhere in this proxy statement for additional details about our executive compensation programs, including information about the compensation of our named executive officers in 2024.

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our named executive officer compensation as described in this proxy statement. This “say-on-pay” proposal gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, we will ask our stockholders to vote FOR the following resolution at the Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of enVVeno Medical Corporation approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the enVVeno Medical Corporation proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC.”

This say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore, is not binding on us, our Compensation Committee or our Board. Our Board and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders, and to the extent that this resolution is not approved by a majority of the votes properly cast, we may review and consider the results of this advisory vote in future compensation deliberations.

Approval of Proposal No. 2 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. Abstentions will be counted as votes “AGAINST” this proposal.

The Audit Committee of the Board appointed the firm of CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ”) to serve as our registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. CBIZ acquired the attest business of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) which was engaged as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company. As a result of this transaction, on April 17, 2025, Marcum resigned as auditors of the Company, and with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, CBIZ CPAs P.C. was engaged as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm. A representative of CBIZ is not expected to attend the Meeting.

The independent accountant’s report of Marcum on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed by Marcum for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements, review of the financial information included in our Forms 10-Q for the respective periods and other required filings with the SEC for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 totaled $255,000 and $177,000, respectively. The above amounts include interim procedures, audit fees, fees related to registration statements filed during those years, and attendance at audit committee meetings.

All Other Fees. None.

The Audit Committee of our board of directors has established its pre-approval policies and procedures, pursuant to which the Audit Committee approved the foregoing audit and non-audit services provided by Marcum in 2024. Consistent with the Audit Committee’s responsibility for engaging our independent auditors, all audit and permitted non-audit services require pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The full Audit Committee approves proposed services and fee estimates for these services. The Audit Committee chairperson has been designated by the Audit Committee to approve any audit-related services arising during the year that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Any non-audit service must be approved by the full Audit Committee. Services approved by the Audit Committee chairperson are communicated to the full Audit Committee at its next regular meeting and the Audit Committee reviews services and fees for the fiscal year at each such meeting. Pursuant to these procedures, the Audit Committee approved the foregoing services provided by Marcum.

As stated herein, CBIZ acquired the attest business of Marcum which was engaged as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company The reports of Marcum regarding the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and through April 17, 2025, the date of Marcum’s resignation, there were (a) no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused Marcum to make reference to such disagreement in its report and (b) no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions).

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and through April 17, 2025, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted with CBIZ regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction or regarding the type of audit opinions that might be rendered by CBIZ on the Company’s financial statements, and CBIZ did not provide any written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any such accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions), as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Approval of Proposal No. 3 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. Abstentions will be counted as votes “AGAINST” this proposal.

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the enVVeno Medical Corporation 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, which is referred to herein as the “2025 Plan,” a copy of which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex A.

On October 25, 2025, our Board adopted and approved the 2025 Plan, subject to stockholder approval. The 2025 Plan will become effective on the date it is approved by our stockholders at the 2025 Annual Meeting and, following stockholder approval, no additional stock awards will be granted under the Company’s 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) provided that any awards outstanding will continue to be outstanding and in effect, until they are exercised, vest or are terminated under the provisions of the applicable plan.

If the 2025 Plan is not approved by our stockholders, it will not become effective and no awards will be granted thereunder, and the Company may continue to make grants under the 2016 Plan subject to the terms of those plans, as applicable.

Management has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to replace the 2016 Plan with the 2025 Plan, pursuant to which we will be able to grant awards of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent awards, and other stock- and cash-based awards.

The following is a summary of the material features of the 2025 Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2025 Plan, a copy of which is included as Annex A to this Proxy Statement.

The purpose of the 2025 Plan is to enhance the ability of the Company to attract, retain, and motivate persons who make important contributions to the Company by providing these individuals with the opportunity to acquire shares and other securities of the Company. Additionally, the 2025 Plan is intended to align the interests of these individuals to those of the Company’s other stockholders.

Employees, directors and consultants are eligible to receive awards pursuant to the 2025 Plan, subject to the 2025 Plan’s conditions and limitations. No service provider shall have any right to be granted an award pursuant to the 2025 Plan, and neither the Company nor the administrator is obligated to treat service providers, participants, or other persons uniformly.

The 2025 Plan will be administered by the board of directors (the “Board”), a committee (the “Committee”) to the extent the Board’s powers and authorities under the 2025 Plan have been delegated to a Committee, or any officer that has been delegated authority (collectively, the “Administrator”). The Administrator will have full power to (i) designate participants; (ii) determine the type or types of awards to be granted to a participant; (iii) determine the number of shares to be covered by, or with respect to which payments, rights, or other matters are to be calculated in connection with, awards; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any award; (v) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances awards may be settled or exercised in cash, shares, other securities, other awards or other property, or canceled, forfeited, or suspended, and the method or methods by which awards may be settled, exercised, canceled, forfeited, or suspended; (vi) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances the delivery of cash, shares, other securities, other awards or other property and other amounts payable with respect to an award shall be made; (vii) interpret, administer, reconcile any inconsistency in, settle any controversy regarding, correct any defect in and/or complete any omission in this plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or award granted under, this plan; (viii) establish, amend, suspend, or waive any rules and regulations and appoint such agents as the administrator shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of this plan; (ix) accelerate the vesting or exercisability of, payment for or lapse of restrictions on, awards; (x) to reprice

existing awards or to grant awards, including as part of an option exchange program, in connection with or in consideration of the cancellation of an outstanding award with a higher price; and (xi) make any other determination and take any other action that the administrator deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the plan. all determinations and interpretations made by the administrator shall be binding and conclusive on all participants and their legal representatives.

The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2025 Plan shall be the sum of (A) 7,165,000, plus (B) any shares that are available for issuance under the 2016 Omnibus Plan as of the Effective Date, plus (C) an increase each time that the Company issues additional shares or securities that are convertible or exercisable into shares (other than pursuant to the 2025 Plan) such that after the application of this contemplated increase, the total number of shares available for issuance under the 2025 Plan will be equal to twenty percent (20%) of the total number of shares issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of the date immediately preceding such issuance (the “Share Limit”). Any increase in the Share Limit as a result of the application of this contemplated increase, if any, shall occur automatically upon each applicable issuance of securities by the Company.

No more than 7,165,000 shares may be issued under the 2025 Plan upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options.

The shares subject to the 2025 Plan may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired shares. Additionally, shares issued as “substitute awards” (as defined in the 2025 Plan) will not count against the 2025 Plan’s share limit, except substitute awards that are incentive stock options will count against the incentive stock option limit.

The share reserve described herein may be subject to certain adjustments in the event of certain changes in the capitalization of the Company (see Equitable Adjustments below).

The 2025 Plan contains a limitation whereby the value of all awards under the 2025 Plan and all other cash compensation paid by the Company to any non-employee director may not exceed $1,000,000 for the first calendar year a non-employee director is initially appointed to the Board, and $750,000 in any other calendar year.

The 2025 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent awards, and other stock- or cash-based awards (collectively, “awards”).

Stock Options. The 2025 Plan permits the granting of both options intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and options that do not so qualify. Options granted under the 2025 Plan will be nonqualified options if they fail to qualify as incentive stock options or exceed the annual limit on incentive stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Nonqualified options may be granted to any persons eligible to receive awards under the 2025 Plan.

The exercise price of each option will be determined by the Administrator, but such exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of one share on the date of grant or, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% or greater stockholder, 110% of such share’s fair market value. The term of each option will be set by the Administrator and may not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant (or five (5) years for an incentive stock option granted to a 10% or greater stockholder). The Administrator will determine at what time or times each option may be exercised, including the ability to accelerate the vesting of such options.

Upon exercise of an option, the exercise price must be paid in full either in cash, check or, with approval of the Administrator, by surrender of other shares that meet the conditions established by the Administrator to avoid adverse accounting consequences to the Company, by broker-assisted cashless exercise, by delivery of a notice of “net exercise” to the Company, such other consideration and method of payment to the extent permitted by applicable law, or any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

Subject to applicable laws (including U.S. federal state, and local laws, rules and regulations, and those of any other country or jurisdiction where options are granted, and the rules and requirements of any stock exchange on which the shares are traded at that time), if the fair market value for shares subject to any option is more than 50% below their exercise price for more than 90 consecutive business days, the Board unilaterally may declare the option terminated, effective on the date the Board provides written notice to the participant. The Board may take such action with respect to any or all options and with respect to any individual option holder or class(es) of option holders.

Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may award stock appreciation rights subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. Stock appreciation rights entitle the recipient to shares or cash, equal to the value of the appreciation in the Company’s stock price over the exercise price, as set by the Administrator and which will be at least equal to the fair market value of a share on the grant date. The term of each stock appreciation right will be set by the Administrator and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. The Administrator will determine at what time or times each stock appreciation right may be exercised, including the ability to accelerate the vesting of such stock appreciation rights.

Restricted Stock. A restricted stock award is an award of shares that vest in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Administrator. The Administrator will determine the persons to whom grants of restricted stock awards are made, the number of restricted shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid for the restricted shares, the time or times within which awards of restricted stock may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of restricted stock awards. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, a participant generally will have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such restricted shares, including without limitation the right to vote such restricted shares and the right to receive cash dividends, if applicable.

Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units are the right to receive shares at a future date in accordance with the terms of such grant upon the attainment of certain conditions specified by the Administrator. Restrictions or conditions could include, but are not limited to, the attainment of performance goals, continuous service with the Company or its subsidiaries, the passage of time or other restrictions or conditions. The Administrator determines the persons to whom grants of restricted stock units are made, the number of restricted stock units to be awarded, the time or times within which awards of restricted stock units may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule, and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the restricted stock unit awards. The value of the restricted stock units may be paid in shares, cash, other securities, other property, or a combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Administrator. The holders of restricted stock units will have no voting rights.

Performance Awards. The Administrator has the authority to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, or restricted stock units as a performance award, which means that such awards vest at least in part upon the attainment of one or more specified performance criteria. For each performance period, the Administrator will have the sole authority to select the length of such performance period, the types of performance award to be granted, the performance criteria that will be used to establish the performance goals, and the level(s) of performance which shall result in a performance award being earned. At any time, the Administrator may adjust or modify the calculation of a performance goal for a performance period, to appropriately reflect any circumstance or event that occurs during a performance period and that in the Administrator’s sole discretion, warrants adjustment or modification. Depending on the type of performance award granted, the previously discussed terms and conditions will also apply to a performance award.

Performance criteria for a performance award may be based on the attainment of specific levels of performance of the Company (and/or one or more subsidiaries, divisions, business segments or operational units, or any combination of the foregoing) and may include, without limitation, any of the following: (i) net earnings or net income (before or after taxes); (ii) basic or diluted earnings per share (before or after taxes); (iii) revenue or revenue growth (measured on a net or gross basis); (iv) gross profit or gross profit growth; (v) operating profit (before or after taxes); (vi) return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, capital, invested capital, equity, or sales); (vii) cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow, free cash flow, net cash provided by operations and cash flow return on capital); (viii) financing and other capital raising transactions (including, but not limited to, sales of the Company’s equity or debt securities); (ix) earnings before or after taxes, interest, depreciation and/or amortization; (x) gross or operating margins; (xi) productivity ratios; (xii) share price (including, but not limited to, growth measures and total shareholder return); (xiii) expense targets; (xiv) margins; (xv) productivity and operating efficiencies; (xvi) customer satisfaction; (xvii) customer growth; (xviii) working capital targets; (xix) measures of economic value added; (xx) inventory control; (xxi) enterprise value; (xxii) sales; (xxiii) debt levels and net debt;

(xxiv) combined ratio; (xxv) timely launch of new facilities; (xxvi) client retention; (xxvii) employee retention; (xxviii) timely completion of new product rollouts; (xxix) cost targets; (xxx) reductions and savings; (xxxi) productivity and efficiencies; (xxxii) strategic partnerships or transactions; and (xxxiii) personal targets, goals or completion of projects. Any one or more of the performance criteria may be used on an absolute or relative basis to measure the performance of the Company and/or one or more subsidiaries as a whole or any business unit(s) of the Company and/or one or more subsidiaries or any combination thereof, or any of the above performance criteria may be compared to the performance of a selected group of comparison or peer companies, or a published or special index that the Administrator deems appropriate, or as compared to various stock market indices.

Dividend Equivalents. An award of dividend equivalents entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all dividends paid on one share while the holder’s tandem award is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be paid currently or credited to an account for the participant, settled in cash or shares, and subject to the same restriction on transferability and forfeitability as the award with respect to which the dividend equivalents are granted.

Other Stock- or Cash-Based Awards. Other stock-based awards may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, other awards granted under the 2025 Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the 2025 Plan. The Administrator shall have authority to determine the service providers to whom and the time or times at which other stock-based awards shall be made, the amount of such other stock-based awards, and all other conditions of the other stock-based awards including any dividend and/or voting rights. The Administrator may grant cash awards in such amounts and subject to such performance or other vesting criteria and terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine.

The Administrator may, without stockholder approval (i) amend an outstanding option or stock appreciation right to reduce the exercise price of the Award, (ii) cancel, exchange, or surrender an outstanding option or stock appreciation right in exchange for cash or other awards for the purpose of repricing the Award, or (iii) cancel, exchange, or surrender an outstanding option or stock appreciation right in exchange for an option or stock appreciation right with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Award.

Participants in the 2025 Plan are responsible for the payment of any federal, state, or local taxes that the Company or its subsidiaries are required by law to withhold upon the exercise of options or stock appreciation rights or vesting of other awards. Without limitation, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit a participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability by (A) the delivery of shares (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest) owned by the participant having a fair market value equal to such withholding liability, (B) having the Company withhold from the number of shares otherwise issuable or deliverable pursuant to the exercise or settlement of the award a number of shares with a fair market value equal to such withholding liability, (C) deducting an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding obligation from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a participant, (D) accepting a payment from the participant in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or by check made payable to the order of the Company, or (E) if there is a public market for shares at the time the withholding obligation for a tax obligation is to be satisfied, selling shares issued pursuant to the award creating the withholding obligation. The amount withheld pursuant to any of the foregoing payment forms will be determined by the Company and may be up to (but not in excess of) the aggregate amount of such obligations based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in the participant’s jurisdiction for all tax obligations that are applicable to such taxable income.

In the event of a dividend or other distribution, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or other change in corporate structure affecting the shares, the Administrator, to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the 2025 Plan, will adjust (i) the number and class of shares which may be delivered under the 2025 Plan (or number and kind of other securities or other property); (ii) the number, class and price (including the exercise or strike price of options and stock appreciation rights) of shares subject to outstanding awards, (iii) any applicable performance criteria, performance period, and other terms and conditions of outstanding performance awards, and (iv) the 2025 Plan’s numerical limits.

In the event of any proposed change in control (as defined in the 2025 Plan), the Administrator will take any action as it deems appropriate, which action may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the continuation of any award, if the Company is the surviving corporation; (ii) the assumption of any award by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary; (iii) the substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of equivalent awards; (iv) the accelerated vesting of the award, with all performance objectives and other vesting criteria deemed achieved at targeted levels, and a limited period during which to exercise the award prior to closing of the change in control, or (v) the cancellation of any award or a portion thereof outstanding immediately prior to the change in control and not previously exercised or settled in exchange for a payment with respect to each vested share subject to such canceled award in cash, stock of the Company or of a corporation or other business entity a party to the change in control, or other property.

Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner, except to a participant’s estate or legal representative, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the participant, only by the participant.

The 2025 Plan will become effective when approved by our stockholders, and, unless terminated earlier, the 2025 Plan will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years.

Our Board may amend, alter, suspend or terminate the 2025 Plan at any time. No amendment or termination of the 2025 Plan will materially impair the rights of any participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the participant and the Company. Approval of the stockholders shall be required for any amendment, where required by applicable law, as well as (i) to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the 2025 Plan and (ii) to change the persons or class of persons eligible to receive awards under the 2025 Plan.

All awards granted under the 2025 Plan, all amounts paid under the 2025 Plan, and all shares issued under the 2025 Plan shall be subject to reduction, recoupment, clawback, or recovery by the Company in accordance with applicable laws and with Company policy.

The Company intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 covering the shares issuable under the 2025 Plan.

The following is a general summary under current law of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations related to awards and certain transactions under the 2025 Plan, based upon the current provisions of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder. This summary deals with the general federal income tax principles that apply and is provided only for general information. It does not describe all federal tax consequences under the 2025 Plan, nor does it describe state, local, or foreign income tax consequences or federal employment tax consequences. The rules governing the tax treatment of such awards are quite technical, so the following discussion of tax consequences is necessarily general in nature and is not complete. In addition, statutory provisions are subject to change, as are their interpretations, and their application may vary in individual circumstances. This summary is not intended as tax advice to participants, who should consult their own tax advisors.

The 2025 Plan is not qualified under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code and is not subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The Company’s ability to realize the benefit of any tax deductions described below depends on the Company’s generation of taxable income as well as the requirement of reasonableness and the satisfaction of the Company’s tax reporting obligations.

Incentive Stock Options. No taxable income is generally realized by the optionee upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. If shares issued to an optionee pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option are sold or transferred after two years from the date of grant and after one year from the date of exercise, then generally (i) upon sale of such shares, any amount realized in excess of the option exercise price (the amount paid for the shares) will be taxed to the optionee as a long-term capital gain, and any loss sustained will be a long-term capital loss, and (ii) neither the Company nor its subsidiaries will be entitled to any deduction for federal income tax purposes; provided that such incentive stock option otherwise meets all of the technical requirements of an incentive stock option. The exercise of an incentive stock option will give rise to an item of tax preference that may result in alternative minimum tax liability for the optionee.

If the shares acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option are disposed of prior to the expiration of the two-year and one-year holding periods described above (a “disqualifying disposition”), generally (i) the optionee will realize ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of the shares at exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on a sale of such shares) over the option exercise price thereof, and (ii) the Company or its subsidiaries will be entitled to deduct such amount. Special rules will apply where all or a portion of the exercise price of the incentive stock option is paid by tendering shares.

If an incentive stock option is exercised at a time when it no longer qualifies for the tax treatment described above, the option is treated as a nonqualified option. Generally, an incentive stock option will not be eligible for the tax treatment described above if it is exercised more than three months following termination of employment (or one year in the case of termination of employment by reason of disability). In the case of termination of employment by reason of death, the three-month rule does not apply.

Nonqualified Options. No income is generally realized by the optionee at the time a nonqualified option is granted. Generally, (i) at exercise, ordinary income is realized by the optionee in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares issued on the date of exercise, and the Company or its subsidiaries receive a tax deduction for the same amount, and (ii) at disposition, appreciation or depreciation after the date of exercise is treated as either short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending on how long the shares have been held. Special rules will apply where all or a portion of the exercise price of the nonqualified option is paid by tendering shares. Upon exercise, the optionee will also be subject to Social Security taxes on the excess of the fair market value of the shares over the exercise price of the option.

Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Dividend Equivalent Awards and Other Stock- and Cash-Based Awards. The current federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized under the 2025 Plan generally follow certain basic patterns: (i) stock appreciation rights are taxed and deductible in substantially the same manner as nonqualified options; (ii) nontransferable restricted stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture results in income recognition equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares over the price paid, if any, only at the time the restrictions lapse (unless the recipient elects to accelerate recognition as of the date of grant through a Section 83(b) election); and (iii) restricted stock units, dividend equivalents, and other stock- or cash-based awards are generally subject to tax at the time of payment. The Company or its subsidiaries generally should be entitled to a federal income tax deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the participant at the time the participant recognizes such income.

The participant’s basis for the determination of gain or loss upon the subsequent disposition of shares acquired from a stock appreciation right, restricted stock, restricted stock unit, dividend equivalent award, or other stock-based award will be the amount paid for such shares plus any ordinary income recognized when the shares were originally delivered, and the participant’s capital gain holding period for those shares will begin on the day after they are transferred to the participant.

Performance Awards. The tax consequences of performance awards will generally mirror those of the underlying award type, each of which is discussed above.

Parachute Payments. The vesting of any portion of an award that is accelerated due to the occurrence of a change in control (such as a sale event) may cause all or a portion of the payments with respect to such accelerated awards to be treated as “parachute payments” as defined in the Code. Any such parachute payments may be non-deductible to either the Company or its subsidiaries, in whole or in part, and may subject the recipient to a non-deductible 20% federal excise tax on all or a portion of such payment (in addition to other taxes ordinarily payable).

Section 409A. The foregoing description assumes that Section 409A of the Code does not apply to an award under the 2025 Plan. In general, stock options and stock appreciation rights are exempt from Section 409A if the exercise price per share is at least equal to the fair market value per share of the underlying stock at the time the option or stock appreciation right was granted. Restricted stock awards are not generally subject to Section 409A. Restricted stock units are subject to Section 409A unless they are settled within two and one-half months after the end of the later of (1) the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which vesting occurs or (2) the end of the calendar year in which vesting occurs. If an award is subject to Section 409A and the provisions for the exercise or settlement of that award do not comply with Section 409A, then the participant would be required to recognize ordinary income whenever a portion of the award vested (regardless of whether it had been exercised or settled). This amount would also be subject to a 20% federal tax and premium interest in addition to the federal income tax at the participant’s usual marginal rate for ordinary income.

No awards have been previously granted under the 2025 Plan and no awards have been granted that are contingent on stockholder approval of the 2025 Plan. The awards that are to be granted to any participant or group of participants are indeterminable at the date of this Proxy Statement because participation and the types of awards that may be granted under the 2025 Plan are subject to the discretion of the Administrator. Consequently, no new plan benefits table is included in this Proxy Statement.

Approval of Proposal No. 4 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. Abstentions will be counted as votes “AGAINST” this proposal.

The following table sets forth certain information concerning the ownership of our common stock as of the Record Date with respect to: (i) each person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of our common stock; (ii) all directors; (iii) all named executive officers; and (iv) all directors and executive officers as a group. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC that deem shares to be beneficially owned by any person who has voting or investment power with respect to such shares. Shares of common stock subject to options or warrants that are exercisable as of the Record Date or are exercisable within 60 days of such date are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding such options for the purpose of calculating the percentage ownership of such person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage ownership of any other person. Applicable percentage ownership is based on 20,216,176 shares of common stock outstanding as of the Record Date.

All costs of solicitation of proxies will be borne by us. In addition to solicitation by mail, our officers and regular employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone. We do not intend to utilize a paid solicitation agent.

A stockholder may revoke his, her or its proxy at any time prior to its use by giving written notice to our Chief Financial Officer, by executing a revised proxy at a later date or by attending and voting at the virtual Meeting. Proxies in the form enclosed, unless previously revoked, will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the specifications made thereon or, in the absence of such specifications in accordance with the recommendations of our Board.

Our Board knows of no other matter to be presented at the Meeting. If any additional matter should properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote such proxy in accordance with their judgment on any such matters.

There are no material proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate of the Company, is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Stockholders intending to present a proposal or propose a director nominee at our 2026 Annual Meeting must comply with the requirements set forth in our amended and restated bylaws and comply with the requirement of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. The amended and restated bylaws require, among other things, that a stockholder must have given timely notice of any proposal in writing to the Secretary of the Company. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; provided, however, that if the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90^th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10^th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Company). In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice. Accordingly, for the 2026 Annual Meeting, assuming the meeting is held on December 11, 2026, notice of a nomination or proposal must be delivered to the Secretary of the Company no later than September 12, 2026 and no earlier than August 13, 2026. SEC rules permit management to vote proxies in its discretion in certain cases if the stockholder does not comply with this deadline and, in certain other cases notwithstanding the stockholder’s compliance with this deadline. Proposals or nominations not submitted in accordance with such requirements will be deemed untimely or otherwise deficient; however, the Company will have discretionary authority to include such proposals or nominations in the proxy materials for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

In addition to satisfying the advance notice requirements under the Company’s amended and restated bylaws as described above, to comply with the SEC’s universal proxy rules, a person who intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice to the Company that sets forth the information required by SEC Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act. Such notice must be received no later than 60 calendar days prior to the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting. For any such director nominee to be included on our proxy card for the 2026 Annual Meeting, the Company’s Secretary must receive notice under SEC Rule 14a-19 no later than October 12, 2026.

We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with these or other applicable requirements.

Stockholders wishing to communicate with the Board may direct such communications to the Board c/o the Company, Attn: Robert A. Berman. Mr. Berman will present a summary of all stockholder communications to the Board at subsequent Board meetings. The directors will have the opportunity to review the actual communications at their discretion.

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as banks and brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for notices of annual meetings, proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. This year, a single notice of the annual meeting of stockholders, or copy of the proxy statement and annual report, will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your bank or broker that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, please notify your bank or broker, and direct your written request to Jennifer Bright Chief Financial Officer of the Company, at (949) 261-2900 or at offices of the Company at 70 Doppler Irvine, California 92618. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their address and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their bank or broker.
