On
September 29, 2026, Immix Biopharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an underwriting agreement
(the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in
an underwritten offering (the “Offering”), an aggregate of 11,363,637 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001
per share (the “Shares”) at a public offering price of $11.00 per Share.
The
Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing,
and customary indemnification obligations of the Company, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”).
The
Company estimates that the net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, and
estimated offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $117.1 million. The Offering is expected to close on September 30,
2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions.
The
Offering is being made pursuant to a shelf registration statement filed January 9, 2026 and declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 22, 2026 (the “Registration Statement”) (File. No. 333-292665), a
base prospectus filed as part thereof, and a prospectus supplement dated September 29, 2026, filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5)
under the Securities Act.
The foregoing summary of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement is subject
to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1
to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the opinion
of Blank Rome LLP relating to the validity of the Shares in connection with the Offering, is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report.
This
Current Report shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the securities discussed herein, nor shall
there be any sale of such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.

Statement” shall be deemed to include such Rule 462 Registration Statement.

Section 6. It is understood, however, that except as provided in this Section 6, Section 8
entitled “Indemnity and Contribution” and the last paragraph of Section 10
below, the Underwriters will pay all of their costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of their counsel, stock transfer taxes
payable on resale of any of the Shares by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make.
(j)
If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 9,
(ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Shares for delivery to the Underwriters or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase
the Shares for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket costs
and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement
and the offering contemplated hereby. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the Company shall not pay or reimburse any costs,
fees or expenses incurred by any Underwriter that defaults on its obligations to purchase the Shares.
(k)
The Company will promptly notify the Representative if the Company ceases to be an Emerging Growth Company at any time prior to the later
of (i) completion of the distribution of the Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act and (ii) completion of the Restricted
Period (as defined in this Section 6).
21
(l)
If at any time following the distribution of any Testing-the-Waters Communication that is a written communication within the meaning
of Rule 405 under the Securities Act there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Testing-the-Waters Communication
included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will
promptly notify the Representative and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Testing-the-Waters Communication to
eliminate or correct such untrue statement or omission.
(m)
The Company also covenants with each Underwriter that, without the prior written consent of the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters,
it will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, during the period ending 90 days after the date of the Prospectus (the “Restricted
Period”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract
to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares
of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (2) enter into any swap or other
arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether
any such transaction described in clause 1 or 2 above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash
or otherwise or (3) file any registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering of any shares of Common Stock or any
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. The restrictions contained in this paragraph (m) shall not
apply to (A) the Shares to be sold hereunder, (B) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise (including
any net exercise) of an option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date hereof and described in the Time of
Sale Prospectus, (C) the issuance by the Company of options, restricted stock units or restricted stock awards (including the Common
Stock issued upon the settlement or exercise thereof) to employees, officers, directors, advisors, or consultants of the Company pursuant
to employee benefit plans (including equity incentive plans) described in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus; provided
that, prior to the issuance of any such options, restricted stock units or restricted stock awards, the Company shall cause each recipient
of such securities who is a director or executive officer of the Company to execute and deliver a lock-up agreement substantially in
the form of Exhibit A hereto, (D) the filing by the Company of registration statements on Form S-8 with respect to employee benefit
plans (including any employee benefit plans assumed pursuant to clause (F)), (E) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule
10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Common Stock; provided that (w) such plan does not provide for the
transfer of Common Stock during the Restricted Period and (x) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if
any, is required of or voluntarily made by the Company regarding the establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include
a statement to the effect that no transfer of Common Stock may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period), and (F) the issuance
by the Company of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive Common
Stock in connection with (y) the acquisition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of the securities, business, technology, property
or other assets of another person or entity or pursuant to an employee benefit plan assumed by the Company in connection with such acquisition,
(z) the Company’s joint ventures, equipment leasing arrangements, licensing transactions, collaborations and other strategic transactions;
provided that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Company may sell or issue or agree to sell or issue pursuant
to this clause (F) shall not exceed 5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following the completion
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Company shall cause each recipient of such securities to execute and deliver
to the Representative, on or prior to the issuance of such securities, a lock-up agreement on substantially the same terms as the lock-up
letter described in Section 5(h) hereof to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.
22
(n)
The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to list for quotation the Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
7.
Covenants of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, covenants with the Company not to take any action
that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or
on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.
8.
Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors,
officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities
Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) that arise out of, or are based upon, any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any
preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined
in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule
433(d) under the Securities Act, any “road show” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “road show”),
the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, or arise out of, or are based upon, any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any such untrue statement
or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Underwriter
furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use therein, it being understood and
agreed that the only such information furnished by the Underwriters through the Representative consists of the Underwriter Information.
23
(b)
Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing
indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company
in writing by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus,
the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, road show, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto;
it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished in writing by any such Underwriter through the Representative
consists of the following information in the Prospectus under the caption “Underwriters” (collectively, the “Underwriter
Information”): (i) the concession and reallowance figures appearing in the third paragraph (which, for the avoidance of doubt,
starts with “The underwriters propose to offer…”); and (ii) the information contained in the fifteenth paragraph relating
to stabilizing transactions (which, for the avoidance of doubt, starts with, “In connection with this offering, the underwriters
may engage in stabilizing transactions…”).
(c)
In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity
may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person
against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request
of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and
any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonably incurred fees and disbursements of such
counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available
to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by
the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying
party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in
the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all
such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated
in writing by the Representative, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties
indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without
its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees
to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party
for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that
it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more
than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed
the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the
prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such
settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding.
24
(d)
To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in
lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as
a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the
Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand
and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same
respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company
and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the
cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The
Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective
number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.
(e)
The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were
determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other
method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or
payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be
deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no
Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares
underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter
has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not
exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in
equity.
(f)
The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of
the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of
this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the
Underwriters, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its
officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Shares.
25
9.
Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement at their discretion by notice
given by the Representative to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to or on the Closing Date
(i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange,
the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any
over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall
have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or
(v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that,
in the judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v),
makes it, in the judgment of the Representative, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares
on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.
10.
Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties
hereto.
If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail
or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which
such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number
of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of
Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I
bears to the aggregate number of Shares set forth opposite the names of
all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Representative may specify, to purchase the Shares which such
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the
number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10
by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date,
any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares and the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which such
default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to
the Representative and the Company for the purchase of such Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall
terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either the Representative or
the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required
changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements
may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default
of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
26
If
this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company
to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform
its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement
with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably
incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
11.
Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and
any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the
entire agreement between the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale
Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares.
(b)
The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares
including with respect to the determination of the Public Offering Price of the Shares and any related discounts and commissions: (i) the
Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii)
the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent
not superseded by this Agreement), if any, (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company, and (iv) none
of the activities of the Underwriters in connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment
advice, or solicitation of any action by the Underwriters with respect to any entity or natural person. The Company waives to the full
extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in
connection with the offering of the Shares.
12.
Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject
to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation
in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution
Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United
States.
(b)
In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding
under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted
to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement
were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
27
For
purposes of this Section, a “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and
shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i)
a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered
bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI”
as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the
meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
“U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated
thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
13.

of or relating to this Agreement.
17.
Compliance with USA Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed

Ladies
and Gentlemen:
The
undersigned understands that J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“J.P. Morgan”) proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement
(the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Immix Biopharma, Inc. (“Immix” or the “Company”),
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”)
by the several underwriters listed on Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement, including J.P. Morgan (the “Underwriters”),
of shares (the “Shares”) of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”)
and/or pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants” and,
together with the Common Stock, the “Securities”). To the extent that there are no additional Underwriters listed
on Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement other than J.P. Morgan, the term Underwriters shall mean the singular as the context requires.
To
induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering,
the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, and
will not publicly disclose an intention to, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 90 days after the date of the
final prospectus supplement (the “Restricted Period”) relating to the Public Offering (the “Prospectus”),
(1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant
any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)),
by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (such options, rights
warrants or other securities, collectively, “Derivative Instruments”) or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement
that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction
described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.
Except as set forth under clauses (e), (f), (h) and (i) below, the undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned is not, and
has not caused or directed any of its affiliates to be or become, currently a party to any agreement or arrangement that provides for,
is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in any transfer of Common Stock or Derivative Instruments beneficially
owned by the undersigned. The first sentence of this paragraph shall not apply to:
(a)
transfers
of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (i) as a bona fide gift
or charitable contribution, (ii) to an immediate family member of the undersigned or a trust for the direct or indirect benefit of
the undersigned or one or more immediate family member of the undersigned (for purposes of this letter agreement, “immediate
family member” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin), (iii) if
the undersigned is a trust, to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust, (iv) if the
undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business
entity, to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is an affiliate
(as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the undersigned, or to any investment fund or
other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned or affiliates of the undersigned, or as part of a distribution, transfer or
disposition without consideration by the undersigned to its stockholders, current or former partners (general or limited), members,
beneficiaries or other equity holders, or to the estates of any such stockholders, partners, members, beneficiaries or other equity
holders, (v) by will, other testamentary document or intestate succession to the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or a member
of the immediate family of the undersigned, or (vi) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer
would be permissible under clauses (a)(i) through (a)(v); provided that (x) in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant
to this clause (a), each transferee shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter agreement
and such transfer shall not involve a disposition of value, (y) in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (a)(iv),
no filing by any party (donor, done, devisee, transferor, transferee, distributer or distribute) under Section 16(a) of the
Exchange Act, or other public announcement shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer or distribution
(other than a filing on a Form 5 made after the expiration of the Restricted Period), and (z) in the case of any transfer or distribution
pursuant to clause (a)(i), (ii), (iii), (v) and (vi), it shall be a condition to such transfer that no public filing, report or announcement
shall be voluntarily made, and if any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, or other public filing, report or announcement
reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock in connection with such transfer or distribution shall be
legally required during the Restricted Period, such filing, report or announcement shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto
the nature and conditions of such transfer;
A-1
(b)
transfers
of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock that occur by operation

of Control” means the transfer (whether by tender offer, merger, consolidation, other similar transaction or series of related
transactions), in one transaction or a series of related transactions approved by the Company’s board of directors, to a person
or group of affiliated persons, of the Company’s voting securities if, after such transfer, such person or group of affiliated
persons would hold more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (or the surviving entity) provided that,
for the avoidance of doubt, the Public Offering shall not constitute a Change of Control.
If
the undersigned is not a natural person, the undersigned represents and warrants that no single natural person, entity or “group”
(within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than a natural person, entity or “group” (as described

indirectly, 50% or more of the common equity interests, or 50% or more of the voting power, in the undersigned.
The
undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this letter agreement in proceeding towards the consummation
of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this letter agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s
heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
The
undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters have not provided any recommendation or investment advice nor have the Underwriters
solicited any action from the undersigned with respect to the Public Offering and the undersigned has consulted their own legal, accounting,
financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent deemed appropriate. The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees that, although
the Underwriters may provide certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures or other related documentation to you in connection
with the Public Offering, the Underwriters are not making a recommendation to you to participate in the Public Offering or sell
any Securities at the price determined in the Public Offering, and nothing set forth in such disclosures or documentation is intended
to suggest that any Underwriter is making such a recommendation.
This
letter agreement shall automatically terminate and the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this letter agreement
upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (i) the date the Company, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, informs the
other in writing, prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, that it has determined not to proceed with the Public Offering,
(ii) the date the Underwriting Agreement is terminated (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) prior to payment
for and delivery of the securities to be sold thereunder, and (iii) October 30, 2026, if the Underwriting Agreement has not been executed
by such date (which date may be extended for an additional three months by the Company upon written notice to the undersigned).
A-4
Whether
or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only
be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters.
This
letter agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
Electronic
signatures complying with the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. State Tech. §§ 301-309), as amended from
time to time, or other applicable law will be deemed original signatures for purposes of this letter agreement. Transmission by telecopy,
electronic mail or other transmission method of an executed counterpart of this letter agreement will constitute due and sufficient delivery
of such counterpart.

Immix Biopharma Announces Pricing of $125 Million Underwritten Offering
of Common Stock
LOS ANGELES, CA, September 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Immix
Biopharma, Inc. (“ImmixBio”, “Company”, “we” or “us” or “IMMX”), a global
leader in relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis, today announced the pricing of an underwritten registered offering of 11,363,637 shares
of its common stock at a public offering price of $11.00 per share. The gross proceeds from this offering are expected to be $125 million,
before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company. The offering is expected to close
on or about September 30, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Immix intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund NXC-201
development, working capital and general corporate purposes.
J.P. Morgan is acting as the sole book-running manager for the offering.
The offering included participation from new and existing institutional investors, including Eventide Asset Management, Janus Henderson
Investors, Ridgeback Capital Investments L.P., Wellington Management and other leading U.S. biotechnology institutional investors and
mutual funds.
The shares of common stock described above are being offered and sold by
the Company pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-292665), including a base prospectus, filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 9, 2026, and declared effective on January 22, 2026.
A prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus describing the terms of the offering will be filed with the SEC and will be available
on the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov. Copies of the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus related
to this offering, when available, may be obtained from J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, c/o Broadridge Financial Solutions, 1155 Long Island
Avenue, Edgewood, New York 11717, or by email at prospectus-eq_fi@jpmchase.com and postsalemanualrequests@broadridge.com.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation
of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction
in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any
such state or other jurisdiction.
About Immix Biopharma, Inc.
Immix Biopharma, Inc. (ImmixBio) (Nasdaq: IMMX) is a global leader in AL
Amyloidosis. AL Amyloidosis is a devastating disease where the immune system, that’s supposed to protect, instead produces toxic
light chains, clogging up the heart, kidney and liver, causing organ failure and death. Our lead candidate is sterically-optimized BCMA-targeted
chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy NXC-201 with a proprietary CD3ζ, CD8 hinge and binder “digital filter”
designed to filter out non-specific activation. NXC-201 teaches the immune system to recognize and eliminate the source of the toxic light
chains. NXC-201 is being evaluated in the U.S. multi-center study for relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis NEXICART-2 (NCT06097832), with
a potentially registrational design. NXC-201 has been awarded Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) and Regenerative Medicine Advanced
Therapy (RMAT) by the US FDA and Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) by FDA and in the EU by the EMA.
Forward
Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the federal securities laws. Words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “believe,”
“expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” “predict,” “forecast,”
“project,” “plan,” “intend” or similar expressions, or statements regarding intent, belief, or current
expectations, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon current estimates and assumptions and include
statements relating to the offering, including the timing of the closing of the offering, the anticipated use of proceeds therefrom, the
potential benefits of the Company’s product candidate CAR-T NXC-201 and the timing and results related to clinical trials, including
planned trials. While the Company believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on any
such forward-looking statements, which are based on information available to us on the date of this release. These forward-looking statements
are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict that could cause actual results to differ materially
from current expectations and assumptions from those set forth or implied by any forward-looking statements. Important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among others, risks and uncertainties relating to market
conditions; the completion of the proposed offering on the anticipated terms or at all; the risk that the estimates for the number of
patients in the U.S. with relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis and the market size are not accurate; the risk that further data from the
ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trials for NXC-201 will not be favorably consistent with the data readouts to date; that no drug product developed
by the Company has received FDA pre-market approval or otherwise been incorporated into a commercial drug product; that success in early
phases of pre-clinical and clinicals trials do not ensure later clinical trials will be successful; and those other risks disclosed in
the section “Risk Factors” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2025 and other periodic or current reports subsequently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These reports are available
at www.sec.gov. Immix Biopharma cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not complete. Immix Biopharma cautions
readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Immix Biopharma does not undertake, and specifically disclaims,
any obligation to update or revise such statements to reflect new circumstances or unanticipated events as they occur, except as required
by law. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect
to those or other forward-looking statements.
