Aethlon Medical amended the employment agreements of CEO and CFO James B. Frakes and Chief Medical Officer Steven P. LaRosa, M.D., on September 11, 2026. Under the amendments, if a change in control is completed and the executive is terminated in a way that triggers severance, installment severance and COBRA health care payments would be paid as a single lump sum. The filing states the amendments do not change the amount of severance or the circumstances that trigger it.
