Carlson, Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to make significant strides toward commercializing our proprietary, AI-driven DeepView™ System and we are hopeful that Spectral AI’s inclusion in this Index will elevate our profile among a broader group of investment professionals during what we believe is a transformational period in our history.”

About the DeepView™ System

Spectral AI’s proprietary DeepView™ System is an AI-driven predictive medical device that delivers an immediate and objective assessment of a wound’s healing potential. Initial applications for the device involve patients with burns and diabetic foot ulcers (DFU).

• In February, the Company received UKCA Authorization to commence sales of its DeepView AI®– Burn in the UK and expects to generate its first commercial product revenue in the second half of 2024. In connection with the UKCA Authorization, the Company has deployed devices at multiple facilities in the UK for evaluation and plans additional deployments through the summer.
• The Company continues to advance clinical studies in the U.S. to further demonstrate the efficacy of the DeepView™ System in providing a “Day One” healing assessment of burn wounds and DFU, and remains on track to file additional US and UK regulatory submissions in 2024 and 2025 for the approval of the DeepView™ System.
• In September 2023, the Company was awarded a multi-year contract from the US Government valued at up to $150 million for the advanced development of the DeepView™ System for the burn indication. In total, the Company has been awarded over $250 million in non-dilutive financial support from the US Government.
