PROXY STATEMENT

2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of ImmuCell Corporation (the Company), a Delaware corporation, of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company to be held at 9:00 AM ET on Thursday, June 15, 2023 remotely via a live audio webcast and telephone conference call, and any and all adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card are first being given or sent to stockholders on or about April 28, 2023. Stockholders who execute proxies may revoke them at any time before exercise thereof.

VOTING OF OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on Friday, April 14, 2023, the record date, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and at any adjournments thereof. As of such date, there were 7,746,864 shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding. Each share is entitled to one vote with respect to all matters to be acted upon at the meeting. The holders of one-third of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, represented at the meeting in person (during the live audio webcast and telephone conference call) or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Votes cast in person (during the live audio webcast meeting via the telephone conference call link) or by proxy at the meeting will be tabulated by the voting inspector appointed for the meeting.

Our Board of Directors is asking for your proxy. Giving us your proxy means that you authorize the persons named in this proxy to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting in the manner that you direct, or if you do not direct us in your signed proxy, in the manner as recommended by the Board of Directors in this Proxy Statement. You can vote for the director nominees or withhold your vote for one or all nominees. You also can vote for or against the other proposals or abstain from voting. If you request a proxy card, and return your signed proxy card, but do not give voting instructions, the shares represented by that proxy will be voted FOR each proposal.

With regard to the election of directors (Proposal One), votes may be cast in favor or withheld. The nominees for director receiving a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of the common stock represented at the meeting in person or by proxy will be elected. This means that the six nominees receiving the largest number of votes cast will be elected.

With respect to Proposal Two, the Company is providing you with the opportunity to vote to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of the three executive officers named in the “SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE” under “EXECUTIVE COMPENSATON”, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This proposal, which is commonly referred to as “say-on-pay”, is required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, which added Section 14A to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock represented at the meeting is required to approve Proposal Two. Abstentions and votes against may be specified on this proposal. Since the approval of Proposal Two requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock represented at the meeting, abstentions, broker non-votes (see below) and votes against will have the effect of a negative vote.

With respect to Proposal Three the Company is providing you with the opportunity to vote to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, an amendment to the Company’s Common Stock Rights Plan extending its expiration date by one year from September 19, 2023 to September 19, 2024. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock represented at the meeting is required to approve Proposal Three. Abstentions and votes against may be specified on this proposal. Since the approval of Proposal Three requires

the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock represented at the meeting, abstentions, broker non-votes (see below) and votes against will have the effect of a negative vote. However, recognizing that there may be a substantial number of broker non-votes, the Company’s Board of Directors, which has the authority to amend the Common Stock Rights Plan, intends to be guided by the votes actually cast on this proposal in deciding whether to extend the expiration date of such plan by one year.

Brokers cannot vote on their customers’ behalf on “non-routine” proposals (Proposals One, Two and Three) without voting instructions from their customers. Because brokers require their customers’ direction to vote on such non-routine matters, it is critical that stockholders provide their brokers with voting instructions. If you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other custodian, your shares will not be voted on Proposals One, Two and Three (a “broker non-vote”). Because a plurality of votes cast will be used to determine the results of the election of directors (Proposal One), abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the votes on Proposal One. Abstentions, however, are counted towards establishing a quorum for the Annual Meeting.

With respect to Proposal Four, the Company is providing you with the opportunity to ratify the appointment of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock represented at the meeting is required to ratify Proposal Four. Abstentions and votes against may be specified on this proposal. Brokers and other record holders have discretion to vote on this proposal in the absence of written instructions from the beneficial holder of shares. Since the ratification of Proposal Four requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock represented at the meeting, abstentions and votes against will have the effect of a negative vote.

Approximately 751 of our stockholders hold their shares through a stockbroker, bank, trustee, or other nominee (Beneficial Owner), and approximately 658 of our stockholders hold their shares directly in their own name (Stockholder of Record). As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held beneficially and those owned of record.

Beneficial Owner: If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, broker, trustee, or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being made available to you through your bank, broker, trustee, or nominee, which is considered the stockholder of record of those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank, broker, trustee, or nominee on how to vote the shares you own beneficially, and you are also invited to attend the meeting via the live audio webcast and/or the telephone conference call. Your bank, broker, trustee, or nominee is obligated to provide you with voting instructions for use in instructing the bank, broker, trustee, or nominee how to vote these shares. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares unless you have a proxy from the bank, broker, trustee or nominee that is the holder of record of the shares giving you the right as beneficial owner to vote the shares during the live audio webcast meeting via the telephone conference call link. If you do not give instructions to your bank, brokerage firm, trustee or other nominee, they will not be allowed to vote your shares with respect to certain “non-discretionary” proposals, but will be able to vote your shares with respect to certain “discretionary” proposals. The election of directors (Proposal One), the advisory vote to approve executive compensation (Proposal Two) and the vote to extend the term of the Common Stock Rights Plan (Proposal Three) are considered to be “non-discretionary” proposals on which banks and brokerage firms may not vote without instructions from the beneficial owner. “Broker non-votes” for “non-discretionary” proposals are votes with respect to shares that are held in “street name” by a bank, brokerage firm, trustee or other nominee that indicates on its proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter. The ratification of the appointment of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Proposal Four) is considered to be a “discretionary” proposal on which banks, brokerage firms, trustees or other nominees may vote in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owner.

Stockholder of Record: If your shares are registered directly in your name with ImmuCell’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered the stockholder of record of those shares and these proxy materials are being made available directly to you by the Company. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the Company or to vote in person at the live audio webcast meeting via the telephone conference call link.

Voting Results: The preliminary voting results will be announced at the meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by the voting inspector and reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which will be filed with the SEC within four business days after the meeting.

EXPENSES AND SOLICITATION

The cost of preparing, assembling, and mailing the proxy material and of reimbursing banks, brokers, nominees and fiduciaries for the out-of-pocket and clerical expenses of transmitting copies of the proxy material to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons will be borne by the Company. Although the Company reserves the right to do so, the Company does not currently intend to solicit proxies otherwise than by use of the mail, but certain officers, employees and advisors of the Company, without additional compensation, may use their personal efforts, by telephone or otherwise, to obtain proxies.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS, DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS

Proposals (other than director nominations, which are addressed in the following paragraph) of stockholders of the Company intended to be presented at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Company at its principal place of business no later than December 31, 2023 (which date is 120 days prior to the first anniversary of on or about when the 2023 Proxy Statement was first mailed to stockholders) to be eligible for possible inclusion in the Company’s Proxy Statement and form of proxy relating to the 2024 meeting. Certified mail addressed to the Secretary of the Company is advised. No such proposals were received by the Company by December 30, 2022 for inclusion in the Company’s Proxy Statement and form of proxy relating to the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors will consider nominees for director recommended by stockholders, applying the same evaluation standards as it would apply to candidates identified by management, other members of the Board of Directors or the Nominating Committee. Recommendations for director nominees may be sent to the Nominating Committee through the Secretary of the Company. Under the advance notice provisions in the Company’s By-laws, stockholders intending to formally nominate a person for election as a director at the Annual Meeting, as distinguished from recommending a candidate to the Nominating Committee, must notify the Nominating Committee through the Secretary of the Company in writing of this intent not less than 60 nor more than 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s Annual Meeting and meet other requirements set forth in the By-laws. If the date of the Annual Meeting is changed by more than 30 days from such anniversary date, the notice from the stockholder must be received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of such Annual Meeting was mailed to stockholders. Such notice must comply with the provisions set forth in the By-laws. No such nomination by stockholders was received by the Secretary of the Company for consideration in connection with the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. A copy of the relevant provisions of the By-laws will be sent to any stockholder who requests these in writing. Such requests should be addressed to the Secretary of the Company.

Stockholders that wish to send communications to the Board of Directors for any reason may do so by mail sent to ImmuCell Corporation, 56 Evergreen Drive, Portland, Maine 04103, Attention: Secretary. The Secretary is responsible for bringing any such communications to the attention of the full Board of Directors at its next regularly scheduled meeting, which is generally quarterly. Additionally, after adjournment of the formal business matters at each year’s Annual Meeting, there is an opportunity for stockholders to communicate directly with the Company’s management and directors. All directors attended the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders virtually and plan to attend the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders virtually.

All shares represented by proxies in the form enclosed herewith will be voted at the meeting and adjournments thereof in accordance with the terms of such proxies and the pertinent statements included herein relative to the exercise of the power granted by said proxies, provided such proxies appear to be valid and executed by stockholders of record entitled to vote thereat and have not previously been revoked. A proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise by the filing with the Secretary of the Company of an instrument revoking such proxy or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. A stockholder’s proxy will not be voted if the stockholder attends the virtual meeting and elects to vote in person (during the live audio webcast via the telephone conference link). Where the person solicited specifies in his, her or its proxy a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted in accordance with the specification so made. If a stockholder fails to so specify with respect to such proposals, the proxy will be voted FOR the election of the nominees listed in Proposal One, FOR the advisory vote to approve executive compensation outlined in Proposal Two, FOR the advisory vote to extend the Common Stock Rights Plan by one year outlined in Proposal Three and FOR the ratification of the appointment of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm described in Proposal Four.

LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

With approval from the Board of Directors, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee determined that the title of President and CEO should be given to an individual not being the same person holding the title of Chair. The objective of this policy is to avoid a concentration of authority in any one person. Mr. Michael F. Brigham has served as President and CEO since February 2000. He also serves as the Company’s Principal Financial Officer. Mr. Brigham is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Company and for managing the actions of the two other executive officers, as well as those of several senior managers. Since February 2013, Dr. David S. Tomsche has served as Chair of the Board of Directors, leading the Company as its independent non-executive board chair. Dr. Tomsche works with the CEO in preparing the agenda for each board meeting and presides over all board meetings and meetings of the non-employee directors. He provides advice to the CEO and serves as principal liaison between the board and the CEO. Ms. Bobbi Jo Brockmann has served as Vice President of Sales and Marketing since February 2015. Ms. Elizabeth L. Williams has served as Vice President of Manufacturing Operations since April 2016. Dr. Joseph H. Crabb served as Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer from December 1998 to February 2022, and he also served as Chair of the Board of Directors from June 2009 to February 2013. It is the policy of the Board of Directors to have a portion of the meeting without the presence of the executive officers each time that the board or any of its committees meets to assure that candid discussions of business matters are conducted with and without the influence of the executive officers. The board delegates certain authority and responsibility to its committees, as described below.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS COMMITTEES

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company held four regular meetings and one special meeting and took action by unanimous written consent four times. The committees of the Board of Directors are the Audit Committee, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee and the Nominating Committee. During the year ended December 31, 2022, each director attended at least 75 percent of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the board on which he or she served (during the periods that he or she served). The board has not set a formal policy for required meeting attendance. A high level of attendance and participation is expected, and to date directors have fulfilled this expectation. At the first meeting of the board following this year’s Annual Meeting, executive officers will be appointed and, effective upon the election of directors at this year’s Annual Meeting, directors will be appointed to serve on the various board committees until the next Annual Meeting and until their successors are elected.

The Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company and the audits and reviews of its financial statements. The Audit Committee engages the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, consults with such auditors with regard to audit plans, reviews the annual reports of the independent auditors, oversees the adequacy of the Company’s internal operating procedures and controls, meets with management and the auditors to review quarterly and annual financial results, authorizes the public release of press releases covering financial results, reviews and authorizes quarterly and annual reports filed with the SEC and otherwise oversees compliance with certain legal, ethical and regulatory matters. The development and manufacture of efficacious products with and without regulatory approval is subject to considerable risk. The Audit Committee takes the lead on oversight of credit, liquidity and operational risk, but the entire board, in conjunction with the executive officers, is very involved with reviewing Audit Committee recommendations and making independent assessments of risks in all areas of the Company’s business. The Company does not have a specific risk management department, but the Company’s Director of Finance and Administration and its President and CEO manage and contract for the Company’s insurance coverages in consultation with outside experts, in addition to identifying, managing and monitoring risk in areas not specifically covered by insurance. The Director of Finance and Administration reports to the President and CEO, who reports to the board. The Committee’s current members are Mr. Rosgen, Dr. Tomsche and Mr. Wainman. Mr. Wainman serves as Chair of the Audit Committee. All members of the Audit Committee meet the heightened independence and expertise requirements for audit committees under applicable SEC and NASDAQ Stock Market rules. The Audit Committee held eleven meetings during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Audit Committee Report can be found later in this Proxy Statement, and the “Charter and Powers of the Audit Committee” has been posted on the Company’s website (http://immucell.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/charter.pdf). Information on the Company’s website does not constitute part of this Proxy Statement.

The Board of Directors has established a Compensation and Stock Option Committee (Compensation Committee) for the purpose of reviewing and recommending salary, bonus and other benefits for executive officers and directors of the Company. The Compensation Committee is responsible for administering the Company’s 2010 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and the 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee’s current members are Ms. Basse, Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Rosgen, each of whom are independent directors. Mr. Cunningham serves as Chair of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee held eight meetings during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Compensation Committee does not have a charter but instead operates within the authority provided by the Company’s By-laws and authorizing resolutions adopted by the board. Its recommendations on executive and director compensation are subject to review and final approval by the Board of Directors, a majority of whose members are independent directors. The Compensation Committee considers recommendations from Mr. Brigham, the Company’s President and CEO, relevant to a determination of executive and director compensation, but neither he nor Ms. Brockmann participates in votes of the Compensation Committee or the board in this regard. In recent years, the Compensation Committee has not retained or relied upon outside consultants to assist in its determination of executive or director compensation but does consider available compensation data. During the end of 2021 and beginning of 2022, the Compensation Committee did consider certain information provided by a consultant.

The Board of Directors has established a Nominating Committee for the purpose of recommending to the full board the number of directors to serve on the board, criteria for board membership and nominees for election to the board. In doing so, the Nominating Committee considers the integrity and relevant business experience of each nominee. The Nominating Committee values diversity, believing that the Company benefits from decision making that includes a range of opinions, points of view and experience. For instance, the Nominating Committee would not want a board comprised only of directors having principally financial expertise or only of directors whose principal experience is in the dairy and beef industries. Likewise, the Nominating Committee believes that a board consisting of all men or all women would not be as strong as a gender-diverse board. While there is always room for improvement, the Nominating Committee believes that it has made substantial progress towards achieving these board diversity goals. To be considered for nomination to the board, a candidate must meet the following minimum criteria: 1) reputation for integrity and high ethical standards, 2) willingness and ability to contribute positively to the Company’s decision-making process, 3) absence of any conflict of interest, or appearance of conflict of interest and 4) commitment to understanding the Company’s business and associated business risks and to devoting adequate time and effort to create value for the Company and its stockholders. All nominees included on this year’s proxy card were recommended by the Nominating Committee and then approved by a vote of the board. The Committee’s current members are Ms. Basse, Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Wainman, each of whom are independent directors. Mr. Cunningham serves as Chair of the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee took action once by unanimous written consent during the year ended December 31, 2022. Provisions for stockholders to nominate candidates for election as directors are described above under the caption, “STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS, DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS”. Upon recommendation of the Nominating Committee, the Board of Directors adopted a charter for the Nominating Committee in December 2012. This charter sets forth the policy to be utilized by the Nominating Committee in considering nominees identified by management to serve as directors for the Company. The Charter of the Nominating Committee has been posted to the Company’s website (http://immucell.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Nominating-Committee-Charter.pdf). The Nominating Committee applies the same evaluation standards in considering nominees for director recommended by stockholders.

____________

(1) This amount represents the total non-cash compensation expense related to stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2022, which is being expensed over the three-year vesting period from grant date.

Officers of the Company, who are also directors, do not receive additional compensation for attendance at Board of Directors’ meetings or committee meetings (and no such employee directors are members of any of the Company’s Committees). Effective January 1, 2022, this annual fee paid to non-employee directors was increased from $24,000 to $28,000. Effective January 1, 2022, compensation for members of the Audit Committee was set at $2,000 per year. Effective January 1, 2013, the additional compensation for the Chair of the Board of Directors was set at $12,000 per year (Dr. Tomsche served as Chair during 2022). These fees are payable in four equal installments in advance as of the first day of each quarter. No other increases in these fees have been made since those noted above.

On March 19, 2018, each of Mr. Cunningham, Mr. Rosgen, Dr. Tomsche and Mr. Wainman were granted non-qualified stock options to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock under the 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. These options had an exercise price equal to $7.08 per share, which was the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, and they vested on March 18, 2021. These options expired March 18, 2023. At the time first appointed to the board, Ms. Basse was granted a non-qualified stock option to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock under the 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan with terms similar to those previously granted to all other directors. Ms. Basse’s options have an exercise price equal to $4.81 per share, which was the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant (June 29, 2020), and vest on June 28, 2023. These options expire if not exercised by June 28, 2025 or, if earlier, within one month (twelve months if in the case of death or disability) after termination of service as a director. On June 17, 2021, each of the five outside directors were granted non-qualified stock options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock under the 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. These options have an exercise price equal to $10.04 per share, which was the fair market value on the date of grant, and they vest on June 16, 2024. These options expire if not exercised by June 16, 2026 or, if earlier, within one month (twelve months in the case of death or disability) after termination of service as a director. On December 15, 2022, each of the five outside directors were granted non-qualified stock options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock under the 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. These options have an exercise price equal to $6.52 per share, which was the fair market value on the date of grant, and they vest on December 14, 2025. These options expire if not exercised by December 14, 2027 or, if earlier, within one month (twelve months in the case of death or disability) after termination of service as a director.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers in substantially the form approved by the stockholders at the 1989 Annual Meeting, as recently updated. The agreements include procedures for reimbursement by the Company of certain liabilities and expenses which may be incurred in connection with service as a director or executive officer. The Company expects to enter into indemnification agreements with individuals who become directors in the future, as well as such executive officers of the Company as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Under the By-laws, executive officers are elected by the Board of Directors at its first meeting following each Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, and each serves for a one-year term and until his or her successor is chosen and qualified, but all officers are employees of the Company “at will”, and their service may be terminated at any time without payment of severance or similar benefits, except as described below under “EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS”. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company has three executive officers, as follows:

MICHAEL F. BRIGHAM: Information concerning the background and experience of Mr. Brigham and the period during which he has served in his current capacity is set forth below under the caption “ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (Proposal One)”.

BOBBI JO BROCKMANN: Information concerning the background and experience of Ms. Brockmann and the period during which she has served in her current capacity is set forth below under the caption “ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (Proposal One)”.

ELIZABETH L. WILLIAMS: Ms. Williams (Age: 67) joined the Company during the second quarter of 2016 as Vice President of Manufacturing Operations. Previously, she led the U.S. Region for Zoetis as Vice President, Global Manufacturing and Supply.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

Effective March 26, 2010, Mr. Brigham entered into an amendment to his employment agreement that superseded and replaced in its entirety his previous employment agreement, and pursuant to which Mr. Brigham agreed to serve the Company in an “at will” capacity on such terms as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine, subject to termination by the Board of Directors at any time with or without cause. In addition, effective March 28, 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Separation and Deferred Compensation Agreement (the “Deferred Compensation Agreement”) with Mr. Brigham that superseded and replaced in its entirety a March 2020 severance agreement between the Company and Mr. Brigham. Upon separation from the Company for any reason, the Deferred Compensation Agreement allows Mr. Brigham to be paid, among other amounts, all earned and unused paid time off and to receive up to an additional $300,000 in deferred compensation. This deferred compensation payment vested as to $100,000 on January 1, 2023, and will vest as to an additional $100,000 on each of January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025, provided that Mr. Brigham is employed by the Company on these future vesting dates. The vested amounts would be paid upon the earlier of January 31, 2025 or within thirty (30) days following his separation from the Company. In addition, upon termination of Mr. Brigham’s employment (a) by the Company other than for cause, (b) due to death or disability or (c) by Mr. Brigham for good reason, in each case as described and defined in the Deferred Compensation Agreement, the Company agrees to pay Mr. Brigham 100% of his then current annual base salary and a lump sum payment equal to the employer portion of the costs of continued health benefits for Mr. Brigham and his covered dependents for a twelve-month period following termination, and certain equity incentive awards granted to Mr. Brigham would continue to vest following such termination in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Agreement.

Effective March 28, 2022, the Company entered into an Incentive Compensation Agreement with Mr. Brigham (the “2022 Brigham Incentive Agreement”). The 2022 Brigham Incentive Agreement provided, among other things, for the potential for Mr. Brigham to earn up to an additional $150,000 if certain regulatory and financial objectives were achieved during 2022. These objectives were not achieved during 2022, and so the additional $150,000 amount was not earned pursuant to the 2022 Brigham Incentive Agreement. Effective March 28, 2023, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Incentive Agreement (the “2023 Brigham Incentive Agreement”) that replaces and supersedes the 2022 Brigham Incentive Agreement in its entirety.

financial performance objectives are achieved during 2022. The incentive compensation related to Re-Tain® was not earned during 2022, and the financial objectives described in the 2022 Brockmann Incentive Agreement were not achieved during 2022, and so the additional $80,000 amount was not earned pursuant to the 2022 Brockmann Incentive Agreement. Effective March 28, 2023 the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Agreement with Ms. Brockmann (the “2023 Brockmann Incentive Agreement”) that replaces and supersedes the 2022 Brockmann Incentive Agreement in its entirety. The 2023 Brockmann Incentive Agreement, among other things, (i) extended the potential set forth in the 2022 Brockmann Incentive Agreement for Ms. Brockmann to earn an additional $50,000 within one year after regulatory approval of Re-Tain® if she is still an employee of the Company at that time and an additional $50,000 two years after regulatory approval of Re-Tain® if she is still an employee of the Company at that time, subject to acceleration in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the 2023 Brockmann Incentive Agreement) or the sale or license by the Company of all or substantially all of the rights to manufacture and sell Re-Tain® if Ms. Brockmann is an employee of the Company at the time of such Change of Control, sale or license and (ii) provided for the potential for Ms. Brockmann to earn up to an additional $80,000 if certain financial performance objectives are achieved during 2023.

Effective November 11, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated incentive compensation agreement with Ms. Williams (the “2022 Williams Incentive Agreement”) that superseded and replaced in its entirety a previous contract. The 2022 Williams Incentive Agreement provided, among other things, for the potential for Ms. Williams to earn up to an additional $150,000 if certain regulatory milestones with respect to Re-Tain® were achieved while she is still an employee of the Company, subject to acceleration in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the 2022 Williams Incentive Agreement) or the sale or license by the Company of all or substantially all of the rights to manufacture and sell Re-Tain®. This incentive compensation was not earned during 2022. Effective March 28, 2023, the Company entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Incentive Agreement with Ms. Williams (the “2023 Williams Incentive Agreement”) that replaces and supersedes the 2022 Williams Incentive Agreement in its entirety.

Ms. Brockmann is an executive officer who has been employed by the Company since 2010 and has extensive experience in the sales and marketing of products to the dairy and beef industries. Mr. Rosgen has a depth of experience in sales and marketing and product branding. Dr. Tomsche is a veterinarian and owner of a distribution outlet of products and services for animals, as well as an investor in and owner of dairy farms, and brings to the board substantial expertise in our industry. Mr. Wainman has extensive managerial and financial training and expertise.

There is no family relationship between any executive officer, director, or person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director. Except for Mr. Brigham and Ms. Brockmann (both of whom are Company employees), each of the Company’s existing directors or nominees qualifies as an “independent director” as defined under applicable NASDAQ Stock Market rules. In evaluating the independence of directors, the board did consider the matters described above under the caption “CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS”. If any of the individuals named above should not be available for election as contemplated, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote for such other person or persons as management may recommend. Management has no reason to believe any nominees will be unavailable. Any vacancies that may occur during the year may be filled by the Board of Directors to serve until the next Annual Meeting.

Mr. David S. Cunningham has decided not to stand for re-election to the Board of Directors. He was thanked for his service to the Company since 2011.

Under Nasdaq’s Board Diversity Rule, all operating companies listed on Nasdaq’s U.S. exchange are required to publicly disclose diversity statistics regarding their Board of Directors using the Board Diversity Matrix.

NON-BINDING, ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (Proposal Two)

As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, which was enacted pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the Company is asking its stockholders to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of its named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC. This proposal is commonly referred to as “say-on-pay.” We currently present such proposal to stockholders on an annual basis.

We maintain a simple executive compensation program that consists almost entirely of base salary and periodic stock option grants, with the possibility of annual discretionary bonuses and some contractually delineated bonus opportunities described above. Annual bonus payments awarded to these named executive officers by the Company since 2007 have been limited to $25,000, $22,500, $12,645, $15,000 and $20,000 of variable compensation and discretionary bonuses paid to Ms. Brockmann in March 2023, March 2022, February 2021, February 2020 and April 2019, respectively, and a $5,000 discretionary bonus paid to Ms. Williams in February 2020. These elements of compensation have been selected by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee (Compensation Committee) because the Compensation Committee believes that they effectively achieve the fundamental goals of our compensation program, which are to attract, motivate, retain and reward exceptionally talented executives; to align executive interests and stockholder interests through an appropriate mix of long-term and short-term incentives; and to maximize the financial efficiency of the program from risk, tax, accounting, and cash flow perspectives.

Except as described above, including under “EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS” above, the Company does not provide any compensation or benefit plans to these named executive officers that are not also available to other employees. The Company differentiates among key employees primarily based on size of base salary and size and frequency of stock option grants. Annual compensation decisions for the named executive officers are made by the Compensation Committee based on performance and market-related factors. Features of our compensation program for the named executive officers include the following:

• A majority of total compensation is fixed but is regularly reviewed and evaluated based on both long-term and short-term corporate performance.

• As described above under EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS, the Company has entered into a Deferred Compensation Agreement with Mr. Brigham providing for certain deferred compensation and severance payments to Mr. Brigham under certain circumstances.

• As also described above under EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS, the Company has entered into incentive compensation agreements with each of the named executive officers that provide for certain variable compensation if certain financial results and regulatory objectives are achieved.

• Equity awards, which consist of stock options, generally vest after a three-year period. The Compensation Committee believes that such awards, as well as their vesting schedules, align the interests of key employees and stockholders.

• From time to time, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation against a peer group (companies of similar size and structure and most often in the same industry) and considers the opinions of independent consultants with regards to the estimated replacement costs for current executive officers to ensure that total compensation is both competitive and appropriate.

• The Compensation Committee annually reviews risk associated with our compensation program to ensure that our program does not create incentives that would encourage subjecting the Company to risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company is asking its stockholders to indicate their support for the executive compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of the named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. Our Board of Directors is asking stockholders to approve a non-binding, advisory vote on the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the named executive officers of the Company, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the “SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE” and “OUTSTANDING EQUITY AWARDS” table, is hereby approved.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. The outcome of this advisory vote does not overrule any decision by the Company or the Board of Directors (or any committee thereof), create or imply any change to the fiduciary duties of the Company or the Board of Directors (or any committee thereof), or create or imply any additional fiduciary duties for the Company or the Board of Directors (or any committee thereof). However, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors value the opinions expressed by stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for these key employees.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the non-binding, advisory resolution on compensation for the named executive officers.

NON-BINDING, ADVISORY VOTE REGARDING AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK RIGHTS PLAN (Proposal Three)

With respect to Proposal Three, the Company is providing stockholders with a non-binding, advisory vote on a proposal to amend the Company’s Common Stock Rights Plan by extending its expiration date by one year from September 19, 2023 to September 19, 2024.

In September 1995, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Common Stock Rights Plan (the “Rights Plan”) and declared a dividend of one common share purchase right (a “Right”) for each of the then outstanding or subsequently issued shares of the common stock of the Company. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an initial price of $70.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Co., as Rights Agent.

The Rights (as amended) become exercisable and transferable apart from the common stock upon the earlier of i) 10 days following a public announcement that a person or group (Acquiring Person) has, without the prior consent of the Continuing Directors (as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement), acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding common stock or ii) 10 days following commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in ownership by a person or group of 20% or more of the outstanding common stock (the earlier of such dates being called the Distribution Date).

Upon the Distribution Date, the holder of each Right not owned by the Acquiring Person would be entitled to purchase common stock at a discount to the initial purchase price of $70.00 per share, effectively equal to one half of the market price of a share of common stock on the date the Acquiring Person becomes an Acquiring Person. If, after the Distribution Date, the Company should consolidate or merge with any other entity and the Company were not the surviving company, or, if the Company were the surviving company, all or part of the Company’s common stock were changed or exchanged into the securities of any other entity, or if more than 50% of the Company’s assets or earning power were sold, each Right would entitle its holder to purchase, at the Rights’ then-current purchase price, a number of shares of the acquiring company’s common stock having a market value at that time equal to twice the Right’s exercise price.

At any time after a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by such person or group of 50% or more of the outstanding common stock, the Board of Directors of the Company may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or group which have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock per Right (subject to adjustment). At any time prior to 14 days following the date that any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person (subject to extension by the Board of Directors), the Board of Directors of the Company may redeem the then outstanding Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.005 per Right, subject to adjustment.

At various times over the years, the Company’s Board of Directors has voted to authorize amendments of the Rights Agreement to extend the Final Expiration Date, which is currently September 19, 2023. The Company’s Board of Directors also has voted to authorize amendments to increase the ownership threshold for determining “Acquiring Person” status to 20%. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors also voted to authorize an amendment to remove a provision that prevented a new group of directors elected following the emergence of an Acquiring Person (an owner of more than 20% of the Company’s stock) from controlling the Rights Plan by maintaining exclusive authority over the Rights Plan with pre-existing directors. The Board did this because such provisions have come to be viewed with disfavor by Delaware courts. Each time that the Rights Plan was amended the Company entered into amendments to the Rights Agreement with the Rights Agent reflecting such extensions, threshold increases or provision changes. No other changes have been made to the terms of the Rights or the Rights Agreement.

Shareholder rights plans such as the Rights Plan have come under increased scrutiny and criticism in recent years. Despite that, the Company’s Board of Directors has continued the Rights Plan in effect due to ongoing concerns that the market price of the Company’s stock did not fairly reflect the potential value of the Company’s existing product lines and its products that are in advanced stages of development, and that the relatively small market capitalization of the Company rendered the Company and its shareholders particularly vulnerable to unsolicited and inadequately priced acquisition efforts. The Board has decided that, rather than unilaterally extend the Rights Plan, it would seek an advisory vote of the stockholders to gauge stockholder support for continuing the Rights Plan before taking further action or, alternatively, allowing the Rights Plan to expire.

The Board of Directors does believe that current market prices still do not reflect the full value of the Company and, on that basis, recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the advisory vote to extend the Rights Plan by one year.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM (Proposal Four)

The Audit Committee has appointed Wipfli LLP to serve as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the year ending December 31, 2023. The Audit Committee’s engagement of this firm was made in accordance with procedures contemplated in that committee’s charter. This decision was ratified by the Board of Directors.

Although stockholder approval of the Audit Committee’s selection of Wipfli LLP is not required by law, the Board of Directors believes that it is advisable to give stockholders an opportunity to ratify this selection. A representative of Wipfli LLP is expected to be present (virtually) at the Annual Meeting with an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions during the live audio webcast via the telephone conference call link. If this proposal is not approved at the Annual Meeting, the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection of Wipfli LLP. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, can direct the appointment of a different firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the Company’s and the stockholders’ best interests.

Principal Accounting Fees and Services

On April 12, 2019, the Company engaged Wipfli LLP for the first time as its Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (IRPAF) for the year ended December 31, 2019 beginning with a customary review of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. On March 20, 2020, the Company engaged Wipfli LLP as its IRPAF for the year ended December 31, 2020. On March 23, 2021, the Company engaged Wipfli as its IRPAF for the year ended December 31, 2021. On March 23, 2022, the Company engaged Wipfli as its IRPAF for the year ended December 31, 2022. On March 22, 2023, the Company engaged Wipfli as its IRPAF for the year ending December 31, 2023.

Set forth below is a summary of the fees incurred for services rendered by the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, Wipfli LLP, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

	2022		2021
Audit Fees(1)	$	130,000	$	120,750
Audit-Related Fees(2)		19,000		2,969
Total	$	149,000	$	123,719

____________

(1) The Audit Fees include fees billed by or accrued for the auditors for their reviews of the quarterly financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the first three quarters of each year and their audits of the annual financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and incidental expenses.

(2) Audit-Related Fees include fees paid to Wipfli LLP during 2022 related to the restatement of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 and during 2021 related to issuing a consent for our Registration Statement on Form S-3.

Pre-Approval Policy

In accordance with the procedures set forth in its charter, the Audit Committee pre-approves all auditing services and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and other terms of those services) to be performed for the Company by its Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. Such approval may be accomplished by approving the terms of the engagement prior to the engagement of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm with respect to such services or by establishing detailed pre-approval policies and procedures to govern such engagement. The Audit Committee authorizes management to spend up to $5,000 per year for services that are not anticipated at the time of the engagement, provided that the Audit Committee is promptly informed of such services.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Mr. Paul R. Wainman, who joined our Board of Directors on March 31, 2014 and currently serves as Chair of the Audit Committee, meets the SEC’s definition of a financial expert. It is the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors that the Company addresses its audit functions with a depth of penetration and rigor that meets the intent of the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for the following reasons:

• All three members of the Audit Committee are independent directors, as defined by the SEC and NASDAQ.

• The three members of the Audit Committee have knowledge of accounting for both their own businesses as well as for the Company. The three members of the Audit Committee have considerable experience operating his own marketing consulting firm, his own animal health company and a for-profit, privately-held commercial enterprise, respectively.

• Internal audit work of the Company is performed by its Director of Finance and Administration, Finance and Administrative Associate II, Finance and Administrative Associate I and Manager of Administrative Operations.

• The Company also continuously reviews, at its own initiative, the expertise of the members of its Board of Directors and its Audit Committee.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the financial reporting process, the system of internal controls, the audit process and the process for monitoring compliance with certain applicable laws and regulations. The Audit Committee is responsible for selecting and hiring the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and meets with those accountants (in person or by telephone) before each quarterly press release concerning the Company’s financial results. The Audit Committee approves the public disclosure and filing with the SEC of the related press releases. After reviewing the quarterly and annual reports that are prepared by management, the Audit Committee authorizes the filing of such reports with the SEC. All members of the Audit Committee meet the heightened independence and expertise requirements for audit committees under applicable NASDAQ Stock Market rules. Mr. Wainman joined the Audit Committee effective March 31, 2014 and serves as its Chair. Mr. Rosgen joined the Audit Committee as of April 2018. Dr. Tomsche joined the Audit Committee in June 2021. The Audit Committee currently operates under a charter adopted by the board in 2004. The Company has a January 1st to December 31st fiscal year. The Audit Committee met eleven times during 2022.

The Audit Committee has reviewed the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and discussed such statements with management and Wipfli LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2022. The Audit Committee has discussed with Wipfli LLP various communications that Wipfli LLP is required to provide to the Audit Committee including the matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standards No. 1301 (Communication with Audit Committees). The Audit Committee received from Wipfli LLP the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB concerning independence and has discussed the auditor’s independence with them.

Based on the review and discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended to the board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and be filed with the SEC.

This report of the Audit Committee shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating this Proxy Statement by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this information by reference and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

In December 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the Code) that applies to all employees of the Company, including the Company’s President and CEO and Director of Finance and Administration. This Code is a set of written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote: (i) honest and ethical conduct, (ii) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports filed with the SEC, (iii) compliance with applicable laws, (iv) prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code and (v) accountability for adherence to the Code. On March 19, 2014, the Board of Directors approved several minor revisions to this Code. This Code has been posted on the Company’s website (http://immucell.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/2014-Code-of-Business-Conduct-and-Ethics-revision.pdf) and was filed as Exhibit 14 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 20, 2014. The Company will mail a copy of its Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any interested party without charge, upon request. Such requests may be made by mail to the Company’s Secretary at ImmuCell Corporation, 56 Evergreen Drive, Portland, Maine 04103.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Form 3 for Ms. Basse was filed late and five Form 4’s reporting non-qualified stock option grants to Ms. Basse, Mr. Cunningham, Mr. Rosgen, Dr. Tomsche and Mr. Wainman that were due in December 2022 were not filed until January 2023. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s directors, executive officers and greater than ten percent beneficial owners complied on a timely basis with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements, except for the late reports described above.
