On January 10, 2025, FibroBiologics, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-284077) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Registration Statement”). Pursuant to Instruction 1 to Item 402(c)(2)(iii) and (iv) of Regulation S-K, the Summary Compensation Table included in the Registration Statement noted that the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company had not yet determined annual incentive bonuses for its 2024 fiscal year for the Company’s principal executive officer and two other most highly compensated executive officers for fiscal 2024 (the “Named Executive Officers”), and that the Company would provide an updated Summary Compensation Table following such determination.

On January 23, 2025, the Compensation Committee and the Board approved fiscal 2024 annual incentive bonuses for the Named Executive Officers. In accordance with Item 5.02(f) of Form 8-K, set forth below is an updated Summary Compensation Table, which includes fiscal 2024 annual incentive bonuses and total compensation figures for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The Compensation Committee and the Board also approved a bonus of $75,000 for Mr. Robert E. Hoffman, the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer.
