Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1955. These forward-

looking statements include, without limitation, SeaStar Medical's expectations with respect to the timing of regulatory approval of its products, the expected timing on enrollment, generation of study results, submission of PMA and other corporate milestones, the ability of SCD to treat patients with AKI, and the potential benefits of SCD to treat other diseases. Words such as "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "plan," "may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions are intended to identify

such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside SeaStar Medical's control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause actual future events to differ materially from the expected results include, but are not limited to: (i) the risk that SeaStar may not be able to obtain regulatory approval of its SCD product candidates; (ii) the risk that SeaStar may not be able to raise sufficient capital to fund its operations, including clinical trials; (iii) the risk that SeaStar Medical and its current and future collaborators are unable to successfully develop and commercialize its products or services, or experience significant delays in doing so, including failure to achieve approval of its products by applicable federal and state regulators, (iv) the risk that SeaStar Medical may never achieve or sustain profitability; (v) the risk that SeaStar Medical may not be able to access funding under existing agreements, including the equity line of credit and forward purchase agreements; (vi) the risk that third-parties suppliers and manufacturers are not able to fully and timely meet their obligations, (vii) the risk of product liability or regulatory lawsuits or proceedings relating to SeaStar Medical's products and services, (xiii) the risk that SeaStar Medical is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property, and (xi) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in SeaStar Medical's Annual Report on Form 10-K, including those under the "Risk Factors" section therein and in SeaStar Medical's other filings with the SEC.

About SeaStar Medical

We are advancing an innovative platform therapy to address the life- threatening consequences of a dysregulated immune response

The overproduction of inflammatory cells (i.e., cytokine storm) can damage vital organs, resulting in multi-organ failure & death

Our Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) cell-directed extracorporeal therapy can bring activated cells back to a reparative state & homeostasis

SCD quells the dysregulated immune process & cytokine storm by targeting & neutralizing activated effector cells

1st FDA approval granted in February 2024

Investment Highlights

  • Proprietary technology with demonstrated significant benefit against potentially life- threatening unmet medical need
  • SCD-PEDapproved under Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) in pediatric acute kidney injury (AKI) due to sepsis or septic condition, providing validation for technology platform
  • Activating sites & enrolling patients in the pivotal NEUTRALIZE-AKI trial addressing a significantly larger adult AKI patient population & market size
  • Generating clinical data that demonstrates potential significant economic value of technology
  • Technology has potential applications in multiple acute & chronic high-value indications using adult SCD with minimal to no modifications
  • World-classteam focused on executing our business strategy & achieving goal of improving patient outcomes & saving lives

Pediatric SCD-PED Approved Under HDE

  • Approval order received in February 2024
    • Pediatric patients >10 kg (~22 lbs) with AKI due to sepsis or septic condition in ICU with kidney replacement therapy (KRT)
    • Validates technology approach of SCD as a therapeutic device in addressing dysregulated immune response
    • Met HDE guidelines - probable benefit in treatment of condition that affects < 8,000 U.S. patients each year
    • 1st product approval in Quelimmune product family
  • Clinical data bolstered by submission to FDA of written statements and testimonials from:
    • Clinicians with experience using SCD-PED to improve clinical outcomes in pediatric patients
    • Parents of children with AKI in ICU who attest to SCD-PED's role in child's recovery
    • National professional society of pediatric nephrologists urging FDA to ensure device is rapidly

made available to the pediatric community
