Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On October 9, 2026, iSpecimen Inc. (the “Company”)
held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). As of the close of business on August 12, 2026, the record
date for the Special Meeting, there were 2,518,590 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. A total
of 1,287,547 shares were present in person or represented by proxy, constituting approximately 51.1% of the shares outstanding and entitled
to vote and therefore representing a quorum.
The proposals submitted to the stockholders at
the Special Meeting are described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) on September 14, 2026. The final voting results for Proposal Nos. 1, 3, 4 and 5 are set forth below. As described
below, the Special Meeting was adjourned with respect to Proposal No. 2 only.
1. Approval Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) -
Pre-Funded Warrants
To approve, for purposes of complying with Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5635(d), the issuance of shares of common stock underlying Pre-Funded Warrants and any additional shares issuable pursuant
to the most-favored-nation, anti-dilution and price adjustment provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 8, 2026, which
may result in the issuance of more than 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately prior to such transaction,
at a price that may be below the Minimum Price (as defined in Nasdaq rules).

Directors at its discretion.
Pursuant to the approval of Proposal No. 5 described
below, the Special Meeting was adjourned with respect to Proposal No. 2 only, without the polls on Proposal No. 2 having been closed,
to October 30, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, to be held virtually (the “Adjourned Meeting”), to provide stockholders additional
time to vote on Proposal No. 2. The record date for the Adjourned Meeting remains the close of business on August 12, 2026. Proxies previously
