(b) On December 21, 2023, Mr. Steven Rotman, President of the Company, gave notice of his retirement as President and officer of the Company, and as a director of the Company, effective immediately.

(c), (e) On December 21, 2023, Ms. Jamie Rotman was appointed as President and Director of the Company effective December 21, 2023 until any successor is appointed or upon her resignation, termination or retirement. Ms. Rotman is not a party to any material plan, contract or arrangement at this time. Ms. Rotman is Mr. Steven Rotman’s daughter. Since January 1, 2022, Ms. Rotman has not received any compensation or renumeration from Vystar or any subsidiary of Vystar.

Ms. Rotman age 56. She received her MBA from Clark University with a concentration in Marketing and Management in 2005. Ms. Rotman’s career began in the Film Industry where she worked for ten years on multi-million-dollar projects as the Director of Development. After moving back to Worcester, MA she worked for fourteen years at Rotmans Furniture.

Ms. Rotman holds no other directorships with any registered public companies.

Ms. Rotman is uniquely qualified to serve Vystar, having served in the past as its Controller from 2018-2019. Ms. Rotman was involved in creating and implementing its online sales with RXAIR and Vytex to Amazon and Wayfair along with bringing in Distributors for RXAIR. We believe that she will be integral in continuing to build the Vystar brand and reconnect with vendors and distributors along with bringing new products to Vystar.
