Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (this "Amendment") amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Aethlon Medical, Inc. (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 1, 2026 (the "Original Form 8-K"), solely to correct the disclosure under Item 5.07 regarding the approval status of Proposal No. 7 presented at the Company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"). The Original Form 8-K correctly reported the voting results for Proposal No. 7 but incorrectly stated that Proposal No. 7 had been approved by the Company's stockholders. As described below, Proposal No. 7 did not receive the affirmative vote required for approval and therefore was not approved. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment does not amend, modify or update the disclosures contained in the Original Form 8-K.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Proposal No. 7: The Company's stockholders did not approve a proposed amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to authorize 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and authorize the Board of Directors to establish one or more series thereof and to fix the designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of each such series, as follows:

Votes For	Votes Against	Abstentions	Broker Non-Votes
204,122	9,529	1,555	184,547

Approval of Proposal No. 7 required the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock entitled to vote on the proposal. As of August 10, 2026, the record date for the Annual Meeting, there were 711,136 shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Accordingly, the affirmative vote of at least 355,569 shares was required to approve Proposal No. 7. Because Proposal No. 7 received 204,122 votes in favor, Proposal No. 7 was not approved, and the Company's Articles of Incorporation were not amended to authorize shares of preferred stock.
