Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On June 24, 2024, the Company
issued a press release announcing that it has asked for an inquiry to the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and with the applicable regulatory organizations
in Texas, Florida and Louisiana, to bring to their attention potential market manipulation of the Company’s common stock, primarily
in the form of naked short selling. This action is further detailed below and a copy of this release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information in this Item
7.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and in Exhibit 99.1 furnished herewith, shall not be deemed to be “filed”
for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject
to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On June 24, 2024, the Company
sent letters to the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and to the applicable state securities regulatory organizations in Texas, Florida and Louisiana,
to bring to their attention potential market manipulation of the Company’s common stock, primarily in the form of naked short selling.
The Company has reviewed its list of Non-Objective Beneficial Owners (the “NOBO List”) and Objecting Beneficial Owners List
(the “OBO List”). The combination of the NOBO List and OBO List should approximate the total number of non-restricted shares
available to trade in the market for the Company. Unfortunately, the number of shares on the OBO List and NOBO List exceeds the total
float (public shares) of the Company’s common stock by a significant percentage. The Company believes this is an indication of the
presence of “naked” shorting where institutional investors are utilizing this illegal activity. Copies of these letters are
being furnished as Exhibits 99.2, 99.3, 99.4 and 99.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. This inquiry is being led by Erich Spangenberg,
a member of the Board of Directors and the Company’s largest shareholder.

Spectral
AI Supports Naked Short Selling Inquiry
DALLAS,
TX - June 24, 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 announced that it has
provided support to Nasdaq and the state securities authorities in Florida, Louisiana and Texas to bring to their attention potential
market manipulation of the Company’s common stock, primarily in the form of naked short selling.
This
inquiry is being led by Erich Spangenberg, a member of the Board of Directors and the Company’s largest shareholder.
Naked
short selling is a practice in which shares are sold without first being borrowed or ensuring that they can be borrowed. This creates
an artificial selling pressure and allows traders to artificially drive down prices at the expense of retail investors. The practice
is generally illegal pursuant to Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) Regulation SHO.
“As
detailed in the Company’s SEC filing today, a simple examination of our shareholder lists we obtained from reliable authorities
clearly shows that our public float has been artificially increased by over 40% as a result of what I believe is illegal naked shorting,”
said Mr. Spangenberg. “We recognize and appreciate Nasdaq’s commitment to ensuring market transparency and integrity, and
its mission to protect the interests of investors. It is in this spirit that we look forward to collaborating with all relevant authorities
to address instances of potentially illegal naked short selling in our stock, strengthen compliance, and protect our investors.”
About
Spectral AI
Spectral
AI, Inc. is a Dallas-based predictive AI company focused on medical diagnostics for faster and more accurate treatment decisions in wound
care, with initial applications involving patients with burns and diabetic foot ulcers. The Company is working to revolutionize the management
of wound care by “Seeing the Unknown®” with its DeepView™ System. The DeepView™
System is a predictive device that offers clinicians an objective and immediate assessment of a wound’s healing potential
prior to treatment or other medical intervention. With algorithm-driven results and a goal to change the current standard of care, the
DeepView™ System is expected to provide faster and more accurate treatment insight towards value care by improving patient
outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. For more information about the DeepView™ System, visit www.spectral-ai.com.

Re: Stock Manipulation
Harming Florida and Its Citizens and Institutions
Dear Attorney General Moody:
I write to you regarding
my concern of what appears to be illegal manipulation of the stock price of our company, Spectral AI, Inc. (“Spectral AI”
or the “Company”), which trades on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “MDAI.” This manipulation
is caused by what appears to be “naked shorting” that violates both federal and Florida law and inflicts a significant cost
on Florida citizens and even certain of its institutions. This manipulation by “naked shorting,” is carried out by some of
the largest financial institutions, financial fiduciaries, and hedge funds in the country, and it is harming investors, innovation, access
to the capital markets, and Florida. Naked shorting is a plain and simple violation of securities laws.1
I am also writing to
the proper authorities at the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, our home State of Texas (the Company’s headquarters) and the State of Louisiana,
where we have a number of shareholders and key institutional relationships. We also maintain close ties to the State of Florida as our
largest shareholder (Erich Spangenberg copied below) is a resident. Spectral AI has a number of other shareholders and key institutional
relationships in the State of Florida. I am reaching out to you to offer the State of Florida the chance to lead the charge against these
blatant securities law violators.
Our Company is focused
on providing burn patients with an immediate objective assessment of a burn wound severity to provide patients, physicians and insurance
providers an almost immediate identification of burns that require advanced wound care, saving the patient days of unnecessary pain and
suffering and the health care systems millions of dollars in unnecessary costs. The US Government has provided the Company with over $256
million of funding and funding commitments that is being used by the Company in developing this lifesaving medical device technology,
including for use in mass casualty events and on the military battlefield and commercial applications.
1 | “Naked
shorting” in its simplest terms is an illegal practice in stock markets where an investor sells shares of a stock they do not own
and have not borrowed. Ordinarily, stock traders must borrow a stock, or determine that it can be borrowed before they can sell it. The
investor “bets” that the stock price will fall and by “shorting” a stock the investor does not own, it creates
an artificial supply of shares and can drive the market price to fall as he sells the shares he doesn’t actually own (retains the
profit) and thereby never having to take ownership of the share before the stock trade settles. |

I believe it is easy
to prove that naked shorting is occurring in the Company stock. When we seek shareholder information from Broadridge, a well-known third-party
stockholder analytics provider, we obtain both our list of Non-Objective Beneficial Owners (so-called “NOBO List”) and Objecting
Beneficial Owners List (so called “OBO List”) of MDAI Stock. The combination of these lists should show the total number of
non-restricted shares available to trade in the market for MDAI. Unfortunately, the sum of NOBO List and OBO list result exceeds the total
float (public shares) of MDAI stock by over 40%. This is not possible without the presence of “naked” shorting where the hedge
funds, prime and other brokers, financial fiduciaries openly participate in and enable this illegal activity. I am confident it is a violation
of the securities laws of the State of Florida.
I respectfully request
that you immediately open an investigation to determine the nature and extent of any illicit activities—and particularly whether
the trading in MDAI has violated the Florida Securities and Investor Protection Act, see Fla. Stat. §517.301, et.
seq. and regulations promulgated thereunder, as set forth in the 2023 Florida Statutes, title XXXIII §517. It may be appropriate
for your office to also assess whether the Florida Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act should be invoked here, as set forth
in 2023 Florida Statutes, Title XLVI §895 and specifically Section 895.02(8)(a) that expressly includes Section 517 (Unlawful
practices relating to sale of securities and investor protection under “racketeering activity”).
I am confident that once
you begin your investigation, you will find that this illegal practice of “naked” shorting is rampant and having a significant
and adverse impact not just on MDAI, but on many other public companies and the honest market participants of Florida, including businesses,
investors, pension funds, and other institutions. Your office can be instrumental in ending this modern-day racketeering and domestic
economic terrorism being carried out by financial institutions, financial fiduciaries and hedge funds that are profiting at the expense
of Florida and its citizens, institutions and pensions funds.
I am available for an
in person or remote interview and would welcome the opportunity to discuss this issue with you or members of your team. I stand ready
to assist your efforts in any way possible.
Sincerely,

Dear
Ms. Friedman:
I
write to you regarding my concern of what appears to be illegal manipulation of the stock price of our company, Spectral AI, Inc. (“Spectral
AI” or the “Company”), which trades on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “MDAI.” This manipulation
is caused by what appears to be “naked shorting” that violates both federal and state law and Nasdaq rules and inflicts a
significant cost on the Nasdaq member companies and investors. As detailed below, MDAI’s NOBO List share count and OBO List share
count combined exceeds MDAI’s total public share count by over 40% -- this is impossible without illegal naked shorting occurring
and we believe the Nasdaq should take action to instill confidence in the market and immediately commence an investigation of this blatantly
illegal activity.
I
am also writing to the proper authorities in our home state of Texas (the Company’s headquarters) and Louisiana and Florida where
a number of our largest investors reside. I am hoping that Nasdaq can immediately launch an investigation, recognize these blatant securities
law violators and bring an end to this manipulation. Copies of these letters are attached.
