To Our Stockholders:

You are cordially invited to attend our Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on Friday, September 27, 2024 at 8:00 a.m., Pacific Time. To facilitate stockholder participation in the Annual Meeting and to provide a consistent and convenient experience to all stockholders regardless of location, the Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only, via live webcast on the Internet at https://www.iproxydirect.com/aemd, with no physical in-person meeting. Stockholders attending the virtual meeting will be afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would at an in-person meeting. We encourage you to attend online and participate in the Annual Meeting, where you will be able to listen to the meeting live, submit questions and vote. We recommend that you log in a few minutes before the Annual Meeting on September 27, 2024 to ensure you are logged in when the Annual Meeting starts.

This year, we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials primarily electronically via the Internet, pursuant to the “Notice and Access” method regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. On or about August 16, 2024, we are mailing a one-page Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to each of our stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting, which Notice contains instructions for accessing the attached Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 via the Internet, as well as voting instructions.

Since our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we have continued to make significant progress advancing towards our planned oncology trials in Australia and India, punctuated by the recent approval from the Bellberry Human Research Ethics Committee (BHREC), which granted full ethics approval to the Pindara Private Hospital and earlier from the Human Research Ethics Committee at Central Adelaide Local Health Network, in June, for a safety, feasibility and dose-finding clinical trial of the Hemopurifier in patients with solid tumors who have stable or progressive disease during anti-PD-1 monotherapy treatment.

We appreciate your continued interest and support of the Company.

Sincerely,

i
