TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF CORMEDIX INC.

The 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of CorMedix Inc. (the “Annual Meeting”) will be held on June 24, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The Annual Meeting will be a virtual-only meeting conducted via live webcast, with no physical in-person meeting. You will be able to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting live via the Internet at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CRMD2025. The Annual Meeting is being held for the following purposes:

1.      To elect seven directors to serve until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successor is duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation, removal, incapacity or death;

2.      To approve on a non-binding advisory basis the compensation of our named executive officers for 2024;

3.      To ratify the appointment of CBIZ CPAs P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025; and

4.      To act upon such other matters as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment, postponement or continuation thereof.

These matters are more fully described in the proxy statement accompanying this notice.

Our Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on April 25, 2025 as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or at any adjournment, postponement or continuation thereof. A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination by any stockholder for any purpose relevant to the Annual Meeting for at least ten days prior to June 24, 2025.

This year, the meeting will take place virtually at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CRMD2025. However, to assure your representation at the meeting, you are urged to vote by proxy by following the instructions contained in the accompanying proxy statement. You may revoke your proxy in the manner described in the proxy statement at any time before it has been voted at the Annual Meeting. Any stockholder attending the Annual Meeting may vote during the meeting even if he or she has returned a proxy. Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the virtual Annual Meeting, we hope that you will vote as soon as possible.

We are pleased to take advantage of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, rules that allow us to furnish proxy materials, including this notice, and the proxy statement (including an electronic proxy card for the meeting) for the Annual Meeting via the Internet.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Q:     Why are you holding a virtual meeting?

A:     We will hold a virtual Annual Meeting because we believe that the virtual format will provide stockholders enhanced access to, and ability to participate in the Annual Meeting regardless of their geographic location. The audio of the entire Annual Meeting will be available for one year on the Company’s website after the meeting.

Q:     How do I attend the Annual Meeting?

A:     You can access the Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CRMD2025. You must enter the 16-digit control number found on your Notice of Internet Availability or Proxy Card. If you are a beneficial owner, you must contact your bank, broker or other institution where your shares are held if you have questions about obtaining your control number.

Q:     How can I ask questions during the Annual Meeting?

A:     The virtual format of the Annual Meeting allows stockholders to communicate with us during the Annual Meeting so they can ask questions of our management. Stockholder questions may be submitted in the field provided in the web portal during the Annual Meeting for consideration. Detailed guidelines for submitting written questions during the Annual Meeting are available at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CRMD2025. You can also submit questions in advance of the Annual Meeting by visiting www.proxyvote.com.

Q:     What if I need technical assistance during the Annual Meeting?

A:     If you encounter any difficulties accessing the Annual Meeting during the check-in or meeting time, you should call the technical support hotline that will appear on the site 15 minutes prior to the meeting.

Q:     Who may vote at the meeting?

A:     The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has set April 25, 2025 as the record date for the meeting. If you owned shares of our common stock or shares of our Series E preferred stock at the close of business on April 25, 2025, you may attend and vote at the Annual Meeting. Each common stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters to be voted on. As of April 25, 2025, there were 67,810,476 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. Additionally, each Series E preferred stockholder is entitled to approximately 6.20427 votes for each share of Series E preferred stock held on all matters to be voted on. As of April 25, 2025, there were 89,623 shares of our Series E preferred stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. Pursuant to their respective terms, as of the record date, the shares of Series E preferred stock represent a total of 556,045 votes. Such shares of Series E preferred stock vote together with our shares of common stock as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of our common stock. The outstanding shares of common stock and shares of Series E preferred stock represent an aggregate of 68,366,521 votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting. Our outstanding Series C-3 preferred stock is non-voting and therefore has no voting rights at the Annual Meeting.

Q:     What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

A:     If your shares of common stock are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, you are considered, with respect to those shares, a “stockholder of record.” If you are a stockholder of record, we have sent the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to you directly. If your shares of common stock are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in street name. In that case, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials has been forwarded to you by your broker, bank, or other holder of record who is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, nominee, trustee or other holder of record on how to vote your shares by using the voting instruction card you receive from your broker, nominee, trustee or other holder of record. All shares of Series E preferred stock are held of record by the persons in whose name certificates for such shares have been issued, which current owners are affiliates of Elliott Associates, L.P. (“Elliott Associates”).

Table of Contents

Q:     What is the quorum requirement for the meeting?

A:     A majority of our outstanding shares of stock, including shares of Series E preferred stock, entitled to vote as of the record date must be present at the meeting in order for us to hold the meeting and conduct business. Your shares will be counted as present at the meeting if you:

        are present and entitled to vote at the meeting;

        properly submitted a proxy card or voter instruction card in advance of or at the meeting; or

        do not provide your broker with instructions on how to vote, but the broker submits the proxy nonetheless (a broker non-vote).

If you are present virtually or by proxy at the meeting, but abstain from voting on any or all proposals, your shares are still counted as present and entitled to vote. The proposals listed in this proxy statement identify the votes needed to approve or ratify the proposed actions.

Q:     What proposals will be voted on at the meeting?

A:     The proposals to be voted on at the meeting are as follows:

1.      To elect the seven directors named in the proxy statement to serve until our next annual meeting or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation, removal, incapacity or death;

2.      To approve on a non-binding advisory basis the compensation of our named executive officers for 2024;

3.      To ratify the appointment of CBIZ CPAs P.C. (formerly Marcum LLP) (“CBIZ”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

We will also consider any other business that properly comes before the meeting. As of the record date, we are not aware of any other matters to be submitted for consideration at the meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy card or voter instruction card will vote the shares they represent in their discretion.

Q:     How may I vote my shares personally at the meeting?

A:     If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. All shares of Series E preferred stock are held of record by the persons in whose name certificates for such shares have been issued, which current owners are affiliates of Elliott Associates. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to vote during the meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CRMD2025 using your unique control number that is printed on your Notice of Internet Availability or Proxy Card. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee or trustee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name. As the beneficial owner, you are also invited to attend the meeting. Because a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares at the meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from your broker, nominee, or trustee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting.

Q:     How can I vote my shares without attending the meeting?

A:     Whether you hold shares directly as a stockholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may vote without attending the meeting. If your shares are held by a broker, trustee or other nominee, they should send you instructions that you must follow in order to have your shares voted. If you hold shares in your own name, you may vote by proxy in any one of the following ways:

        Via the Internet by accessing the proxy materials on the secure website https://www.proxyvote.com and following the voting instructions on that website;

        Via telephone by calling toll free 1-800-690-6903 in the United States or outside the United States and following the recorded instructions;

Table of Contents

        By mail: mark sign, and date your proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope we have provided or return it to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717; or

        By requesting that printed copies of the proxy materials be mailed to you pursuant to the instructions provided in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and completing, dating, signing and returning the proxy card that you receive in response to your request.

The Internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate stockholders’ identities by use of a control number to allow stockholders to vote their shares and to confirm that stockholders’ instructions have been properly recorded. Voting via the Internet or telephone must be completed by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 23, 2025. Of course, you can always attend the meeting virtually and vote your shares. If you submit or return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Board.

Q:     How can I change or revoke my vote after submitting it?

A:     If you are a stockholder of record, you can change or revoke your proxy before your shares are voted at the meeting by:

        Filing with our Corporate Secretary at 300 Connell Drive, Suite 4200, Berkeley Heights, New Jersey 07922 a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the proxy either before the meeting or at the meeting;

        Duly executing a later-dated proxy relating to the same shares and delivering it either before the meeting or live at the meeting and before the taking of the vote, to our Corporate Secretary at 300 Connell Drive, Suite 4200, Berkeley Heights, New Jersey 07922;

        Attending the meeting and voting online during the virtual meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CRMD2025 with your control number (although attendance at the meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation of a proxy); or

        If you voted by telephone or via the Internet, voting again by the same means by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on June 23, 2025.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker, nominee, trustee or other holder of record. You may also vote at the meeting if you obtain a legal proxy from them as described in the answer to a previous question.

Q:     Where can I find the voting results of the meeting?

A:     We will announce the voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will publish the results in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days of the Annual Meeting.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT SOLICITATION, VOTING AND ATTENDING

Who Can Vote

You are entitled to attend the Annual Meeting and vote your common stock or Series E preferred stock if you held shares as of the close of business on April 25, 2025. At the close of business on April 25, 2025, a total of 67,810,476 shares of common stock and 89,623 shares of our Series E preferred stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of common stock has one vote and each share of Series E preferred stock has approximately 6.20427 votes. The shares of Series E preferred stock vote together with our shares of common stock as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of our common stock. The outstanding shares of common stock and shares of Series E preferred stock represent an aggregate of 67,810,476 and 556,045 votes, respectively. There is an aggregate total of 68,366,521 votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting.

Counting Votes

Consistent with Delaware state law and our bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy, of at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting will constitute a quorum for purposes of voting on a particular matter at the meeting. Once a share is represented for any purpose at the meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and any adjournment, postponement or continuation thereof unless a new record date is set for the adjournment, postponement or continuation. Shares held of record by stockholders or their nominees who do not vote by proxy or attend the meeting in person will not be considered present or represented and will not be counted in determining the presence of a quorum. Signed proxies that withhold authority or reflect abstentions and

5

Table of Contents

“broker non-votes” will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. “Broker non-votes” are proxies received from banks, brokerage firms or other nominees holding shares on behalf of their clients who have not been given specific voting instructions from their clients with respect to non-routine matters.

Assuming the presence of a quorum at the meeting:

        The election of directors will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast for each director nominee. This means that the seven nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected as directors. Withheld votes and broker non-votes, if any, are not treated as votes cast, and therefore will have no effect on the proposal to elect directors.

        The advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers for 2024 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, are not treated as votes cast, and therefore will have no effect on the proposal to approve our executive compensation.

        The ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. In this context, abstentions, if any, are not treated as votes cast, and therefore will have no effect on this proposal.

With respect to “routine” matters, such as the ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm, a bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee has the authority (but is not required) under the rules governing self-regulatory organizations, or SRO rules, including the Nasdaq Global Market, on which our common stock is listed, to vote its clients’ shares if the clients do not provide instructions. When a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee votes its clients’ shares on routine matters without receiving voting instructions, these shares are counted both for establishing a quorum to conduct business at the meeting and in determining the number of shares voted FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAINING with respect to such routine matters.

With respect to “non-routine” matters, such as the election of directors, the advisory vote to approve the compensation paid by the Company to its executive officers, a bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee is not permitted under the SRO rules to vote its clients’ shares if the clients do not provide instructions. The bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee will so note on the voting instruction form, and this constitutes a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes are not considered votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on any “non-routine” proposal.

Because the proposal for the advisory vote to approve the compensation paid by the Company to its executive officers requires a majority of votes cast for approval, and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast, a broker non-vote will have no effect on these proposals. While the election of directors is a non-routine matter, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast, which means that the seven nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. As a result, votes withheld and broker non-votes have no effect on the election of directors.

In summary, if you do not vote your proxy, your bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee may either:

        cast a vote on routine matters;

        cast a “broker non-vote” on non-routine matters; or

        leave your shares unvoted altogether.

We strongly encourage you to provide instructions to your bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee by voting your proxy. This action ensures that your shares will be voted in accordance with your wishes at the meeting.

Cost of this Proxy Solicitation

We will pay the cost of this proxy solicitation. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, our directors and employees might solicit proxies personally and by telephone. None of these individuals will receive any additional compensation for this. We will, upon request, reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other nominees for their expenses in sending proxy materials to their principals and obtaining their proxies.

Attending the Annual Meeting

To attend the Annual Meeting, you will need to access www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CRMD2025 and enter your control number that is printed on your Notice of Internet Availability or Proxy Card. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held by a bank or broker, i.e., in “street name,” you may vote them at the Annual Meeting only if you obtain a legal proxy from the bank or broker and deliver such legal proxy to the inspector of election to obtain a control number for access to the Annual Meeting.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our bylaws provide that the number of directors constituting the Board shall be not less than five nor more than nine. The Board may establish the number of directors within this range. There are seven directors presently serving on our Board. In March 2015, in connection with a backstop financing agreement, we granted Manchester Securities Corp. (“Manchester”), a subsidiary of Elliott Associates, L.P., the right for as long as it or its affiliates hold any of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock to appoint, and nominate for election at subsequent stockholder meetings, up to two members of our Board and/or to have up to two observers attend Board meetings in a non-voting capacity. Manchester has exercised its appointment right and appointed Janet Dillione and Myron Kaplan as members of the Board in 2015 and 2016, respectively, and to nominate Ms. Dillione and Mr. Kaplan for election at subsequent stockholder meetings, including the Annual Meeting.

The Board proposes the seven nominees listed below for election to the Board for a one-year term. The Board has determined that directors Janet Dillione, Gregory Duncan, Alan W. Dunton, Myron Kaplan, Steven Lefkowitz and Robert Stewart are independent as defined in Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq Global Market Listing Rules. In addition to the specific bars to independence set forth in that rule, we also consider whether a director or his or her affiliates have provided any services to, worked for or received any compensation from us or any of our subsidiaries in the past three years in particular. None of the nominees is related by blood, marriage or adoption to any other nominee or any of our executive officers.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS FOR 2024

As required under Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the Board is submitting a “say on pay” proposal for stockholder consideration. While the vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers is non-binding and solely advisory in nature, the Board and the Compensation Committee value the opinion of our stockholders and will review and consider the voting results. At our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, a frequency of every year for casting advisory votes on named executive officer compensation. The advisory vote on named executive officer compensation will occur every year until the next vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on named executive officer compensation, which will occur at our 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Our executive officers are compensated based on performance, and in a manner consistent with our strategy, competitive practice, sound corporate governance principles, and our Company’s and our stockholders’ interests. We believe our compensation program is strongly aligned with the long-term interests of our Company and our stockholders. Compensation of our executive officers is designed to enable us to attract and retain talented and experienced senior executives to lead our Company successfully in a competitive environment.

The compensation of the Named Executive Officers is described on pages 22 through 29 of this proxy statement.

We are asking stockholders to vote on the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of CorMedix Inc. approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to its Named Executive Officers for 2024.”

As indicated above, the stockholder vote on this resolution will not be binding on our Company or the Board and will not be construed as overruling or determining any decision by us or by the Board. The vote will not be construed to create or imply any change to our fiduciary duties or those of the Board, or to create or imply any additional fiduciary duties for our Company or the Board.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast on this Proposal No. 2 is required to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers for 2024, as disclosed in this proxy statement.

Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends stockholders vote, on an advisory basis, FOR our named executive officer compensation for 2024.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 — RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Pursuant to its charter, the Audit Committee of our Board has appointed the firm CBIZ, New York, New York, to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2024 and 2023. On November 1, 2024, CBIZ acquired the attest business of Marcum, and substantially all of the partners and staff that provided attestation services for Marcum joined CBIZ. As such, on April 17, 2025, subsequent to the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, Marcum resigned and, with the approval of the Audit Committee, CBIZ was engaged as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

The reports of Marcum on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and the subsequent interim period through April 17, 2025, there were: (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K between the Company and Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, any of which, if not resolved to Marcum’s satisfaction, would have caused Marcum to make reference thereto in their reports, and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

We previously provided Marcum with a copy of the above disclosures as included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 22, 2025, and requested Marcum to furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether Marcum agreed with the statements made by us in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of Marcum’s letter, dated April 22, 2025, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to that Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.

On April 21, 2025, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of CBIZ as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. During the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and the subsequent interim period through April 17, 2025, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with CBIZ regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or (iii) any “reportable event” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

While the Audit Committee is solely responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee and the Board are requesting that the stockholders ratify this appointment. If the stockholders ratify this appointment, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it believes that doing so would be in the best interests of our stockholders. If the stockholders do not ratify this appointment, the Audit Committee may reconsider, but might not change, its appointment.

Representatives of CBIZ are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Vote Required

Ratification of the appointment of CBIZ as our independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting.

Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of CBIZ as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Information About the Board and its Committees

Board of Directors Composition

Our Board currently consists of seven members. Directors elected at this meeting and each subsequent annual meeting will be elected for one-year terms or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

We separate the positions of Chairman, currently held by independent director Myron Kaplan, and that of Chief Executive Officer, held by Joseph Todisco. While the Board believes that separation of these positions serves our Company well, and intends to maintain this separation where appropriate and practicable, the Board does not believe that it is appropriate to prohibit one person from serving as both Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Selection of Nominees for our Board

To be considered as a director nominee, an individual must have, among other attributes: high personal and professional ethics, integrity and values; commitment to our Company and its stockholders; an inquisitive and objective perspective and mature judgment; and availability to perform all Board and committee responsibilities. In addition to these minimum requirements, the Nominating and Governance Committee will also evaluate the nominee’s independence and whether the nominee’s skills are complementary to the existing directors’ skills and the Board’s need for operational, management, financial, international, industry-specific or other expertise. We focus on identifying nominees with experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to work with the other directors to serve the long-term interests of our stockholders. All those matters being equal, we do and will consider diversity a positive additional characteristic in potential nominees.

The Nominating and Governance Committee invites Board members to submit nominations for director candidates. In addition to candidates submitted by Board members, director nominees recommended by stockholders will be considered. Stockholder recommendations must be made in accordance with the procedures described in the section titled “Stockholder Proposals” below and will receive the same consideration that other nominees receive. All nominees are evaluated by the Nominating and Governance Committee to determine whether they meet the minimum qualifications outlined in the immediately preceding paragraph and whether they will satisfy the Board’s needs for specific expertise at that time. The Nominating and Governance Committee recommends to the full Board the slate of nominees for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders.

Board Committees

Our Board has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Governance Committee. Our Audit Committee currently consists of Mr. Lefkowitz (Chair), Dr. Dunton and Mr. Duncan. Our Compensation Committee currently consists of Ms. Dillione (Chair), Dr. Dunton and Mr. Duncan. Our Nominating and Governance Committee currently consists of Mr. Kaplan (Chair), Mr. Stewart and Ms. Dillione. The membership of these committees may be changed after our next annual meeting.

Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of our directors and has determined that (i) all current directors, except Mr. Todisco, our Chief Executive Officer, are independent within the meaning of Section 5605(b) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, (ii) all members of our Audit Committee meet the additional test for independence for audit committee members imposed by SEC rules and regulations and Section 5605(c) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, (iii) all of the members of our Compensation Committee are independent within the meaning of Section 5605(d) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, and (iv) all of the members of our Nominating and Governance Committee are independent within the meaning of Section 5605(e) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

Each of the above-referenced committees operates pursuant to a formal written charter. The charters for each committee, which have been adopted by our Board, contain a detailed description of the respective committee’s duties and responsibilities and are available on our website at www.cormedix.com under the “Investors — Corporate Governance” tab.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight of our corporate financial statements and reporting and our external audits, including, among other things, our internal controls and audit functions, the results and scope of the annual audit and other services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm and our compliance with legal matters that have a significant impact on our financial statements. The Audit Committee also consults with our management and our independent registered public accounting firm prior to the presentation of financial statements to stockholders and, as appropriate, initiates inquiries into aspects of our financial affairs. The Audit Committee is responsible for establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and for the confidential, anonymous submission by our employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. In addition, the Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, retention, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm, including approving services and fee arrangements. All related party transactions will be approved by the Audit Committee before we enter into them.

Both our independent registered public accounting firm and internal financial personnel regularly meet with, and have unrestricted access to, the Audit Committee.

The Board has determined that each of Mr. Lefkowitz, Dr. Dunton and Mr. Duncan qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC. The designation of each of Mr. Lefkowitz, Dr. Dunton and Mr. Duncan as an “audit committee financial expert” does not impose on them any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than those that are generally imposed on them as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board, and their designation as an “audit committee financial expert” pursuant to this SEC requirement does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or the Board.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves our compensation policies and all forms of compensation to be provided to our executive officers, including, among other things, annual salaries, bonuses, and other incentive compensation arrangements. The Compensation Committee also reviews and makes recommendations to our Board regarding changes in director compensation. In addition, the Compensation Committee administers our equity compensation plans, including granting stock options to our executive officers. The Compensation Committee also reviews and approves employment agreements with executive officers and other compensation policies and matters. Pursuant to its charter, the Compensation Committee has the power to form and delegate authority to subcommittees and to delegate authority to one or more members of the Compensation Committee.

Since 2016, the Company and the Compensation Committee have periodically engaged Frederic W. Cook & Co., an independent compensation consultant, for input on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers and directors. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of Frederic W. Cook & Co., considering the factors required by the Nasdaq Global Market Listing Rules, and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent Frederic W. Cook & Co. from independently representing our Company. In the future, we, or the Compensation Committee, may engage or seek the advice of Frederic W. Cook & Co. or another compensation consultant.

Each member of the Compensation Committee is a non-employee director, as defined pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Nominating and Governance Committee

The Nominating and Governance Committee identifies, evaluates and recommends nominees to the Board and committees of the Board, conducts searches for appropriate directors and evaluates the performance of the Board and of individual directors. The Nominating and Governance Committee also is responsible for reviewing developments in corporate governance practices, evaluating the adequacy of our corporate governance practices and reporting and making recommendations to the Board concerning corporate governance matters.

Information Regarding Meetings of the Board and Committees

The business of our Company is under the general oversight of our Board as provided by the laws of Delaware and our bylaws. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Board held four meetings and also conducted business by written consent, the Audit Committee held four meetings and also conducted business by written consent, the Compensation Committee held two meetings and also conducted business by written consent, and the Nominating and Governance Committee held one meeting. Each director nominee attended at least 75% of the Board meetings and the meetings of the committee on which he or she served since being appointed to the Board and respective committees. We do not have a formal written policy with respect to Board members’ attendance at our annual meetings of stockholders, but we encourage them to do so.

Risk Oversight

Our Board is responsible for our Company’s risk oversight and administers its risk oversight responsibilities by delegating certain business and governance activities to the appropriate committees for more detailed consideration and evaluation.

Our Board has delegated its primary risk oversight responsibilities to the Audit Committee. In fulfilling that role, the Audit Committee focuses on our general risk-management strategy, the most significant risks facing our Company, and ensures that risk-mitigation strategies are implemented by management. The Audit Committee also has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to limit, monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management are undertaken. The Compensation Committee oversees risks related to our compensation and benefit plans and policies to ensure sound pay practices that do not cause risks to arise that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company. The Nominating and Governance Committee seeks to minimize risks related to governance structure by implementing sound corporate governance principles and practices. Each of the committees regularly reports to the full Board as appropriate on its efforts at risk oversight, and will report any matter that rises to the level of a material or enterprise-level risk.

Our management is responsible for the day-to-day identification, evaluation, management, and mitigation of the Company’s risk exposures. The Company manages these enterprise risks through a variety of policies, programs, committees, and internal controls designed to protect the Company’s assets, operations, and reputation, while ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Stock Ownership Requirements

We adopted stock ownership guidelines for our non-employee directors in October 2014 with the objective of more closely aligning the interests of our non-employee directors with those of our stockholders. The stock ownership guidelines require each non-employee director to own $100,000 worth of our common stock within five years of October 2014 for then-current directors and within five years of joining the Board for directors joining the Board after that date. This requirement may be met with the purchase of shares under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, vesting of shares underlying restricted stock units and the exercise of stock options.

Hedging and Pledging Policies

We have adopted an insider trading policy that includes provisions restricting our directors, officers and employees from engaging in hedging or monetization transactions involving our securities and prohibits our directors, officers and employees from engaging in short sales of our securities. Our insider trading policy also strongly discourages our directors, officers and employees from holding our securities in margin accounts or otherwise pledging our securities as collateral for loans.

Clawback Policy

In compliance to Nasdaq listing standards relating to clawback policies, we adopted the Compensation Recoupment Policy in December 2023, to implement a mandatory clawback policy in the event of a Restatement (as defined in the Compensation Recoupment Policy). In addition, the Compensation Recoupment Policy also sets forth a discretionary clawback policy to recoup certain compensation in circumstances involving misconduct.

For mandatory clawbacks, the Compensation Recoupment Policy applies to our executive officers with respect to compensation that is granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part upon attainment of a financial reporting measure and any such compensation attained on or after October 2, 2023 is subject to recoupment. See exhibit 97.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2024 for the full terms of the Compensation Recoupment Policy.

Table of Contents

We maintain a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for our non-employee directors, pursuant to which our non-employee directors may defer all of their cash director fees. Any cash fees due to a participating director will be converted into a number of shares of our common stock by dividing the dollar amount of fees payable by the closing price of our common stock on the date such fees would be payable, and the director’s unfunded account is credited with the shares. The shares that accumulate in a director’s account will be paid to the director on the tenth business day in January following the year in which the director’s service terminates for whatever reason, other than death, in which case the account will be paid within 30 days of the date of death to the designated beneficiary, as applicable. In the event of a change in control of our Company, the director would receive cash in an amount equal to the number of shares in the account multiplied by the fair market value of our common stock on the change in control date, and the payment would be accelerated to five business days after the effective date of the change in control. Ms. Dillione is our only non-employee director who participates in the nonqualified deferred compensation plan, and her unfunded account was credited with 48,909 shares of common stock as of December 31, 2024. No shares were deferred into the plan in fiscal year 2024.

Equity Grant Practices

The Compensation Committee is generally responsible for approving grants of stock options and other stock and stock-based awards, except to the extent that the terms of the applicable equity plan require administration by the full Board or, to the extent permitted by and consistent with applicable law and the provisions of the applicable equity plan, to the extent the Compensation Committee has delegated to the Chief Executive Officer the power to approve the grant of stock options or other stock or stock-based awards to employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company who are not officers or directors of the Company. We generally aim to avoid granting equity awards including stock options (or similar awards), in anticipation of the release of material non-public information that is likely to result in changes to the price of our Common Stock, and we do not time the release of material non-public information based on stock option or other equity award grant dates. During the last completed fiscal year, we did not grant any stock options (or similar awards) during any period beginning four business days before the filing of any Company periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, or the filing or furnishing of any Company current report on Form 8-K that disclosed material nonpublic information, and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such reports.

AUDITOR AND AUDIT COMMITTEE MATTERS

Report of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which were audited by Marcum LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee discussed with Marcum LLP the matters required to be discussed under the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC. The Audit Committee received the written disclosures and letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. The Audit Committee also considered whether the provision of services other than the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 were compatible with maintaining Marcum LLP’s independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to in the foregoing paragraph, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 for filing with the SEC.

All members of our Audit Committee are independent under SEC rules and regulations and Rule 5605(c) of the Nasdaq Global Markets Listing Rules. The financial literacy requirements of the SEC require that each member of our Audit Committee be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements. In addition, at least one member of our Audit Committee must qualify as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, and have financial sophistication in accordance with the Nasdaq Global Markets Listing Rules 5605(c). Our Board has determined that each of Mr. Lefkowitz, Mr. Duncan and Dr. Dunton qualifies as an audit committee financial expert.

 

THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

   

Steven Lefkowitz, Chairman

   

Gregory Duncan

   

Alan W. Dunton

The Audit Committee Report does not constitute soliciting material, and shall not be deemed to be filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates the Audit Committee Report by reference therein.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Pursuant to its charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving in advance any audit and any permissible non-audit engagement or relationship between us and our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more designated members of the Audit Committee the authority to grant pre-approvals, provided such approvals are presented to the Audit Committee at a subsequent meeting. If the Audit Committee elects to establish pre-approval policies and procedures regarding non-audit services, the Audit Committee must be informed of each non-audit service provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. Audit Committee pre-approval of audit and non-audit services will not be required if the engagement for the services is entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the Audit Committee is informed of each service provided and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities under the Exchange Act to our management. Audit Committee pre-approval of non-audit services (other than review and attestation services) also will not be required if such services fall within available exceptions established by the SEC. All services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm during 2024 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Related Party Transactions

We had no related person transactions in 2024, and no related person transactions are currently proposed.

Procedures for Review and Approval of Transactions with Related Persons

Pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving all related party transactions as defined under Item 404 of Regulation S-K, after reviewing each such transaction for potential conflicts of interests and other improprieties.

Our policies and procedures for review and approval of transactions with related persons are in writing in our Code of Conduct and Ethics available on our website at www.cormedix.com under the “Investors — Corporate Governance” tab.

Our Board has adopted a written Related Party Transaction Policy that supplements our Code of Conduct and Ethics. The Related Party Transaction Policy covers any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which we were or are to be a participant, where the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a related party (as defined in the Related Party Transaction Policy) had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. The Audit Committee is responsible for review and approval of proposed transactions. In reviewing and approving any such transactions, our Audit Committee is tasked to consider all relevant facts and circumstances with respect to the transaction and shall evaluate all available options, including ratification, revision or termination of the transaction. The Audit Committee will not approve or ratify a transaction with a related party unless it has determined, upon consideration of all relevant information, that the transaction is in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company or its stockholders.

OTHER MATTERS

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of our common stock to file with the SEC reports of ownership of our securities and changes in reported ownership. Based on a review of reports filed with the SEC, or written representations from reporting persons that all reportable transactions were reported, we believe that, during 2024, our directors, executive officers, and ten percent stockholders timely filed all reports that were required to be filed under Section 16(a), except one delinquent Form 4 for Ms. Mistry to report the purchase of common stock due to an inadvertent administrative error.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS

Stockholders may send any communications regarding our Company’s business to the Board in care of our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices located at 300 Connell Drive, Suite 4200, Berkeley Heights, New Jersey 07922. The Corporate Secretary will forward all such communications to the addressee if they relate to important substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that our Corporate Secretary considers to be important for the members of our Board to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and duplicative communication.
