Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On July 24, 2025, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of Lantern Pharma Inc. (the “Company”), acting upon the recommendation of the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, appointed Lee T. Schalop, M.D. to the Board. In 2009, Dr. Schalop was a co-founder of Oncoceutics, Inc., a clinical-stage drug discovery and development company, and served in various executive roles at Oncoceutics from 2009 to 2021, including Chief Business Officer from 2009 to 2016, Chief Operating Officer from 2016 to 2020 and Chief Executive Officer from 2020 to January 2021, at which time Oncoceutuics was sold to Chimerix Inc. (NASD: CMRX) for $450 million. Prior to co-founding Oncoceutics, Dr. Schalop attended the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, graduating with a doctor of medicine degree in 2008. Before attending medical school, Dr. Schalop spent more than 19 years in the financial industry at several major Wall Street firms, including Morgan Stanley, J.P.

Dr. Schalop serves on the Supervisory Board of TME Pharma N.V. (Euronext Growth Paris: ALTME), and he served as a Board Observer at Chimerix Inc. until its sale to Jazz Pharmaceuticals in April 2025.

He is a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Pennsylvania where he earned dual degrees from the University’s Wharton School and College of Arts and Sciences.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On July 24, 2025, the Board approved an amendment to the Company’s By-laws (the “By-laws”), effective immediately. The amendment modified the provisions for determining a quorum for a meeting of stockholders of the Company and effectively reduced the quorum requirement from a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting to one-third (33.33%) of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting. Pursuant to the amendment, Section 2.07 of the By-laws was deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Section 2.07 Quorum. Unless otherwise provided by law or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, one-third (33.33%) of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law, abstentions and broker non-votes shall be counted to determine whether a quorum is present. In the absence of a quorum, the meeting may be adjourned, from time to time, by the chairman of the meeting or by vote of a majority of the shares so represented without further notice. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting. The stockholders present at a meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of such number of stockholders as may leave less than a quorum.”
