Spectral AI Continues Support of Naked Short
Selling Inquiry
DALLAS, TX - July 15, 2024 - Spectral AI, Inc.
(Nasdaq: MDAI) (“Spectral AI” or the “Company”), an artificial intelligence (AI) company focused on medical
diagnostics for faster and more accurate treatment decisions in wound care, today provided an update on its ongoing initiatives to expose
what it believes is potential market manipulation of the Company’s common stock, primarily in the form of naked short selling.
As previously announced, in separate letters dated
June 24, 2024, the Company – under the leadership of Erich Spangenberg, a member of the Board of Directors and Spectral AI’s
largest shareholder – provided support to Nasdaq and the state securities authorities in Florida, Louisiana and Texas to bring to
their attention this potential violation of Nasdaq rules and federal and state law.
In a follow up letter to Nasdaq dated July 15,
2024, Mr. Spangenberg once again calls on authorities to investigate the likely prevalence of naked short selling that is negatively impacting
both MDAI shares and many other de-SPAC transaction companies.
Copies of the letters dated June 24, 2024 were
filed by the Company via a Form 8-K that is available at www.sec.gov. A copy of the July 15, 2024 letter will be filed by the Company
later today via a Form 8-K and will be available at www.sec.gov.
About Spectral AI

AI company focused on medical diagnostics for faster and more accurate treatment decisions in wound care, with initial applications involving

Nasdaq, Inc.

Re: | MDAI – Naked Shorting – Stock Manipulation
on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange |
Dear Ms. Friedman:
On June 24, 2024, Vincent S. Capone, the CFO and
General Counsel of Spectral AI, Inc. (MDAI), sent you a letter requesting your attention to the blatant naked shorting occurring in the
trading of MDAI on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. This violation of Nasdaq rules and federal and state law is a matter of great concern. As
a Nasdaq NM company, we were disappointed to receive no response from you or the Nasdaq.
The sum of the shares on the Company’s May
28, 2024, NOBO and OBO list exceed the MDAI float by over 40%. We verified with Broadridge that a company cannot have more shares on its
combined NOBO and OBO list than are in its float. Spectral AI’s float is not a “little off” due to some settlement fluff
in the numbers – this is shocking and blatant evidence of naked shorting that I trusted your office would immediately respond to
and investigate these illegal activities.
I suspect the bad actors here are algorithm-driven
trading platforms enabled by prime brokers who know something is wrong, but it is not in their business interest to ask too many questions.
As you know, prime brokers are vital in ensuring regulatory compliance for their clients and their own operations. They must adhere to
the regulations set by the Nasdaq, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
MDAI regularly appears on the failure to deliver
list, so it can hardly come as a surprise to the primes that there might be something amiss here. MDAI is an easy case as the float is
relatively tight, but as part of your investigation, I suspect that you will find the practice of naked shorting is prevalent in many
de-SPAC transactions. In my opinion, this naked shorting is a form of domestic economic terrorism being perpetrated by very bad actors
who know better, and they are harming Nasdaq’s sterling reputation, capital markets, investors, capital formation, and innovation.
Naked shorting is a serious threat to what the Nasdaq stands for and cannot be tolerated.

While there may be a significant amount of money
at risk for all involved if federal or state regulators or a private right of action was brought, this is not what I want. I want to see
the system work as it is supposed to. This past week, I was the lead sponsor on a SPAC that listed on the Nasdaq trading under the symbol
SIMAU. I hope to list more SPACs as market conditions permit. I also plan to bring other companies in my portfolio public on the Nasdaq.
MDAI is not alone in asking why the Nasdaq rules and federal and state securities laws are being flaunted by some bad actors and why the
Nasdaq is not looking into this issue.
The Nasdaq website says one of the core missions
of any securities exchange is investor protection through surveillance of market activity, monitoring listed company compliance with listing
standards, and through its investigation and enforcement program.i The information I have is paramount to Nasdaq’s mission.
I am based in Paris, but will be in New York City
on July 17, 18, and 19. If, in a 15-minute meeting, I cannot convince you or a member of your staff that investors are not being protected
and Nasdaq rules and applicable securities laws are being violated, I will drop the issue with Nasdaq. If your assistant will contact
me, I can confirm a mutually convenient meeting time during one of these three days.
I
look forward to the courtesy of a response. You may reach me via email at
or by phone at .
Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
Best,
/s/ Erich Spangenberg
