Item 5.02         Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
On December 2, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of BioCardia, Inc. (the “Company” or “BioCardia”) appointed Marvin Slosman as a member of the Board, with an initial term beginning immediately and expiring at BioCardia’s 2028 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or until his successor is duly elected and qualified. Mr. Slosman is President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of InspireMD, Inc., a NASDAQ listed medical device company focused on vascular and carotid artery disease management solutions. He has served in that capacity since January 2020.  
 
The Board has determined that Mr. Slosman qualifies as an independent director under the corporate governance standards of Nasdaq, and there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Slosman and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Slosman was selected as a director. The Board has appointed Mr. Slosman to serve on the Company’s Audit Committee. The Company is not aware of any transaction involving Mr. Slosman requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
 
As compensation for his service on the Board, Mr. Slosman will receive cash and equity compensation provided by the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, as it may be adjusted by the Board from time to time as described in the Company’s 2025 Proxy Statement.
 
In addition, the Company and Mr. Slosman will enter into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement for directors.
 
Dr. Richard Krasno, who has served on the Company’s board of directors since 2016, completed his term on the board of directors on December 2, 2025. Dr. Krasno’s departure was not because of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.
