Note on Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Annual Report on Form 10-K (including the section regarding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) contains forward-
looking statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,”

means of identifying forward-looking statements as denoted in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additionally, statements concerning future matters are forward-looking
statements.
 
Although forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and
factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially
from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes
include, without limitation, those specifically addressed under the heading “Risk Factors” below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We file reports with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The SEC maintains an Internet site (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other
information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, including us.
 
We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this Annual Report
on Form 10-K. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made throughout the entirety of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which attempt to
advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

ITEM 1 – BUSINESS
 
Corporate Structure
 
We were formed as BioSig Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, in February 2009 and in April 2011 we merged with our wholly owned subsidiary, BioSig Technologies,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, with the Delaware corporation continuing as the surviving entity. BioSig is principally devoted to improving the standard of care in
electrophysiology, or EP, with our PURE EP™ System’s enhanced signal acquisition, digital signal processing, and analysis during catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias.
The Company has generated minimal revenue to date and consequently its operations are subject to all risks inherent in business enterprise in early commercialization stage.
 
On November 7, 2018, we formed a subsidiary under the laws of the State of Delaware, originally under the name of NeuroClear Technologies, Inc., for the purpose of
pursuing additional applications of the PURE EP™ signal processing technology outside of the field of cardiac electrophysiology. In March 2020, it was renamed ViralClear
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ViralClear”). As of April 14, 2025, the Company retains 69.08% ownership of ViralClear. Please see the section titled, “ViralClear Business Overview”
for more information on ViralClear.
 
On July 2, 2020, the Company formed an additional subsidiary, NeuroClear Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which was renamed to BioSig AI Sciences, Inc.
(“BioSig AI”) on May 31, 2023. The subsidiary was established to pursue clinical needs of cardiac and neurological disorders through recordings and analyses of action
potentials. BioSig AI aims to contribute to the advancements of AI-based diagnoses and therapies. At April 14, 2025, the Company had a majority interest in BioSig AI of
84.5%.

Business Overview
 
BioSig Technologies is a medical device technology company with an advanced digital signal processing technology platform, the PURE EP™ Platform (“PURE EP”), that
delivers insights to electrophysiologists for ablation treatments of cardiovascular arrhythmias.
 
The PURE EP™ Platform enables electrophysiologists to acquire raw signal data in real-time—absent of unnecessary noise or interference—to maximize procedural success
and minimize unnecessary inefficiencies. As physician advocates, we believe that the ability to maintain the integrity of intracardiac signals with precision and clarity without
driving up procedural costs has never been more pertinent.
 
By capturing critical cardiac signals—even the most complex—PURE EP is designed to enhance clinical decision-making and improve clinical workflow for all types of
arrhythmias, even the most challenging procedures for cardiac arrhythmias, like ventricular tachycardia (VT) and atrial fibrillation (AF).
 
BioSig has pivoted from a focus on commercial distribution of hardware to the research and development of novel software algorithms that advance our understanding of
mechanisms and tissue characteristics. Data collection began in December 2023 and is ongoing. Despite its rapid adoption, there is room to improve the long-term outcomes of
pulsed field ablation (PFA). Our primary focus is aimed at improving the specificity of PFA treatment and improving clinical outcomes.
 
Our owned patent portfolio now includes 41 issued/allowed utility patents (29 utility patents where BioSig is at least one of the applicants). Thirty-one additional U.S. and
foreign utility patent applications are pending covering various aspects of our PURE EP System for recording, measuring, calculating and displaying of electrocardiograms
during cardiac ablation procedures (31 U.S. and foreign utility patent applications where either BioSig, Mayo, or both is at least one of the applicants). We also have one U.S.
patent and one U.S. Pending application directed to artificial intelligence (AI). We also have 30 issued worldwide design patents, which cover various features of our display
screens and graphical user interface for enhanced visualization of biomedical signals (30 design patents where BioSig is at least one of the applicants). Finally, we have licenses
to 12 (issued/allowed) patents and 9 additional worldwide utility patent applications from Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research that are pending (12
issued/allowed patents and 9 applications where only Mayo is the applicant). These patents and applications are generally directed to electroporation and stimulation.
 
Recent Developments
 
Issuance of debt
 
On March 7, 2024, the Company issued a promissory note to an investor and related party (10% plus shareholder) for $500,000. The Company designated its 12% note due
2026, in accordance with exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
 
The note was due March 7, 2026. The Company promised to pay interest in cash on the unpaid principal amount of this note at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12%),
commencing to accrue on the date hereof and payable on the maturity date or earlier prepayment as provided therein. The Note contained customary events of default.
 
The Company was able to prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of the Note at any time or from time to time without penalty. On May 1, 2024, we converted the
promissory note and related accrued interest of $509,165 into 348,624 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 174,312 shares of common stock at $1.398 per share,
that will become exercisable six months after the date of issuance and will expire five and one-half years following the date of issuance.

130,363 shares at an exercise price of $3.364 per share that will become exercisable six months after the date of issuance and will expire five and one-half years following the

consideration of $1,144,164, including $634,999 in cash and $509,165 representing conversion of the principal balance of and accrued interest on the previously issued Note.
The Note was not convertible by its terms, but the holder had agreed to convert it into shares of common stock and warrants under the Purchase Agreement.
 
On May 29, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the
investors (i) in a registered direct offering, 1,570,683 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.91 per share and (ii) in a concurrent private placement, warrants (the “Private

ATM Sales Agreement
 
On December 18, 2024, the Company entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, as sales agent or
principal (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule
415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“common stock”), through or to the Agent
(the “ATM Offering”). The Sales Agreement, among other things, provides for the issuance and sale of up to an aggregate of $8,500,000 of shares of the Company’s common
stock (the “ATM Shares”).
 
The ATM Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-276298) and an accompanying prospectus filed
by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 28, 2023, as amended on January 5, 2024 and December 9, 2024, and declared
effective by the SEC on December 17, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”) and pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated December 18, 2024.
 
From January 17, 2025 through April 14, 2025, the Company has sold 4,403,166 ATM Shares at an average offering price of $0.91 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of
$4,019,063, or $3,882,420 net of fees of $136,643.
 
Equity Line of Credit
 
On February 28, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Equity Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Lind Global Fund III, LP (the
“Investor”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investor from time to time (each such occurrence, an
“Advance”) up to $5.0 million (the “Commitment Amount”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), during the 36 months following
the execution of the Subscription Agreement, subject to (a) an overall cap of 10,000,000 shares and (b) the restrictions and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the
Subscription Agreement. The Company is under no obligation to sell any of its Common Stock to the Investor under the Subscription Agreement. At the Company’s option, the
shares of Common Stock would be purchased by the Investor from time to time at a price (the “Market Price”) equal to 95% of the lowest of the daily VWAPs (as hereinafter
defined) during a five (or such other period as the Company and the Investor may agree) consecutive trading day period commencing on the date that the Company delivers a
notice to the Investor (an “Advance Notice”) that the Company is requiring the Investor to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock (the “Advance Shares”).
The Company may also specify a minimum acceptable price per share in each Advance. “VWAP” means, for any trading day, the daily volume weighted average price of the
Company’s Common Stock for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the
Company may require the Investor to purchase in any Advance is an number equal to 66.667% of the average daily volume of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market
during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the Advance Notice; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, in any period of 30
consecutive days, the total number of Advance Shares that the Company may sell to the Investor may be up to 0.5% of the quotient of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on the date of the Advance divided by the Market Price determined for such Advance.
 
As consideration for the Investor’s irrevocable commitment (subject to the conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement) to purchase the Company’s Common Stock up to
the Commitment Amount, the Company issued 108,542 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”) to the Investor. The Company had previously advanced to the
Investor $10,000 to cover certain expenses related to the Subscription Agreement.
 
The Investor’s obligation to purchase the Company’s shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Subscription Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including that the
Company file a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), registering the
issuance and sale of the Commitment Shares and the Advance Shares to be issued and sold pursuant to an Advance under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), and that the Registration Statement be declared effective by the SEC.

Neuro-Kinesis Corporation
 
On July 1, 2024, the Company announced the intent to acquire the assets of Neuro-Kinesis Corporation (NKC), a privately held Los Angeles-based medical technology
company developing smart EP tools. A non-binding letter of intent (LOI) had been executed confirming BioSig’s preliminary interest in the proposed acquisition of the assets of
NKC. The purchase price would be paid through the issuance of shares of BioSig’s common stock to the shareholders of NKC. In addition, at closing, NKC would provide a
minimum of $2.5 million, but could provide up to $6 million, of unrestricted cash to BioSig. The proposed acquisition would require extensive due diligence, potentially
through the first quarter of 2025. The LOI expired on October 14, 2024, and the Company entered into an amendment to extend the term of the LOI through March 31, 2025. In
addition, the amendment stated that any party may terminate the LOI in writing prior to the end of the term. On February 3, 2025, the Company terminated the LOI pursuant to
the interests of the Company and its shareholders.
 
Notices of Delisting
 
On March 5, 2024, the Company received a letter from the staff at the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq (the “Staff”) stating that the Company has not regained
compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the Company’s common stock did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The
Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), and the Company is not eligible for a second 180 day cure period under Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(2) because the Company does not comply with
the $5,000,000 minimum stockholders’ equity initial listing requirement for Nasdaq, and that accordingly, Nasdaq would delist the Company’s common stock unless the
Company requested an appeal of this determination. On March 11, 2024, the Company submitted a request for a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to appeal the Staff’s
delisting determination.
 
On March 12, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff stating that based upon the Staff’s review of the Company and pursuant to Listing Rule 5101, the Staff
believes that the Company no longer has an operating business and is a “public shell,” and that the continued listing of its securities is no longer warranted, in view of work
force reductions and resignations of members of the board of directors and officers. The letter further stated that the Company no longer meets the requirement of Rule 5550(b)
(2) to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities of $35 million, if none of the other standards set forth in Rule 5550(b) is met. The Staff stated that the foregoing
matters serve as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq, and that the Hearings Panel will consider this matter in rendering a
determination regarding the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq. The Company appealed the foregoing determinations. The requested hearing before the Hearings Panel
was held on May 7, 2024.
 
On June 10, 2024, the Company received formal notice that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel had determined to delist the Company’s common stock from Nasdaq due to the
Company’s continued non-compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) for continued listing on the Nasdaq
Capital Market. As a result, trading in the Company’s common stock was suspended on the Nasdaq Capital Market effective with the open of business on Wednesday, June 12,
2024. The Company’s common stock should be eligible to trade on the OTC Markets’ Pink Current Information tier under symbol “BSGM” effective with the open of trading
on Wednesday, June 12, 2024. The Company sought the Panel’s reconsideration of its decision in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “Rules”).
 
On June 24, 2024, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that the Hearings Panel had declined to reconsider its decision dated June 10, 2024, to delist the Company’s common
stock from Nasdaq (the “Delisting Decision”). Trading in the Company’s securities was suspended on Nasdaq effective with the open of business on June 12, 2024, at which
point the Company’s common stock was eligible to trade on the OTC Market’s Pink Current Information tier.
 
On July 10, 2024, the Company filed a submission in support of an appeal to the Delisting Decision to the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”)
and is currently awaiting a decision.
 
On July 23, 2024, the Company commenced trading of its common stock on the OTCQB, operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc.
 
On October 18, 2024, the Company was notified by the Staff that the Listing Council had granted the Company an exception through March 7, 2025, to evidence compliance
with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b), namely either the $35 million in market value of listed securities requirement or the alternative requirement of $2.5 million in stockholders’
equity (the “Equity Rule”) for continued listing on the Nasdaq.

On October 23, 2024, the Company’s common stock resumed trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
 
On October 24, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff notifying the Company that based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock from the
period of June 11, 2024 through the reinstatement date, October 23, 2024, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required by the Rules and as a
result, the Company no longer met this requirement. However, the Rules also provide the Company a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance.
Since then, Staff had determined that for the 10 consecutive business days, from October 30, 2024, to November 12, 2024, the closing bid price of the Company’s common
stock was at $1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, the Company regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and this matter closed as of November 13, 2024.
 
On March 6, 2025, the Company submitted supporting documents to the Listing Council evidencing compliance with the Equity Rule. On March 24, 2025, the Company was
notified by the Office of General Counsel of Nasdaq that the Company had successfully met the qualifications to regain full compliance for continued listing on the Nasdaq
Capital Market.
 
On April 11, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Staff indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive
business day period between February 27, 2025, through April 10, 2025, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on
Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until
October 8, 2025 (the “Compliance Period”), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s
minimum bid price requirement, the Company’s common stock must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the
Compliance Period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain
compliance. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held shares and all other initial listing
standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second
compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, the Company may be granted an additional 180 calendar days to
regain compliance. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will be unable to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is not otherwise eligible for the additional cure
period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The letter has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common
stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other listing requirements of Nasdaq. At that time, the Company
may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance that,
if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the panel, such appeal would be successful.
 
Delisting from Nasdaq Stock Market could negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise additional financing to fund future operations.
 
Lack of funding, workforce reductions, resignations and appointments of members of the Company’s board of directors and certain officers
 
On January 28, 2024 and February 20, 2024, management of the Company commenced a workforce reduction intended to reduce significantly the annual cash burn which was
completed as of February 20, 2024. The workforce reduction consisted of the departure of sixteen employees, effective as of January 31, 2024 and included the departure of
John Sieckhaus, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, and Gray Fleming, the Company’s Chief Commercial Officer and twenty six employees effective February 20, 2024.

Our Industry
 
Pharmacological, or medicine-based, therapies have traditionally been used as initial treatments for cardiac arrhythmias, but they often fail to adequately control the arrhythmia
and may have significant side effects. Catheter ablation is now often recommended for an arrhythmia that medicine cannot control. Catheter ablation involves advancing several
flexible catheters into the patient’s blood vessels, usually either in the femoral vein, internal jugular vein or subclavian vein. The catheters are then advanced towards the heart.
Electrical impulses are then used to induce the arrhythmia and local thermal or nonthermal energy is used to ablate (destroy) the abnormal tissue that is causing it. Catheter
ablation for most of arrhythmias has a high success rate. For patients with complex arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT), it is often
necessary to perform multiple procedures to achieve success. VT is a fast, abnormal heart rate in the heart’s lower chambers. VT does not give your heart enough time to fill
with blood before it contracts again. This can affect blood flow to the rest of your body and is potentially life-threatening. AF is the most common cardiac arrhythmia associated
with a fivefold risk of stroke. AF occurs when the upper chambers of the heartbeat irregularly, and do not pump all of the blood to the lower chambers, causing some blood to
pool and potentially form clots. If a clot breaks loose, it can travel through the bloodstream to the brain and lead to a stroke. Strokes related to AF are often more severe
compared to strokes with other underlying causes.
 
Catheter ablation is performed by an electrophysiologist (a specially trained cardiologist) in an electrophysiology (EP) laboratory. EP labs are equipped with specialized
equipment including recording systems, mapping systems, stimulators, fluoroscopy, catheters and ablation systems using thermal radiofrequency energy or cryoenergy, or
nonthermal pulsed field energy.
 
The global electrophysiology laboratory devices market size was estimated at USD 12.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15.1% from 2025 to 2030.
Increasing use of electrophysiology (EP) tests in treating and diagnosing heart diseases, such as atrial fibrillation, growing demand for devices for cardiac rhythm management
for constant monitoring, and increasing application of these devices in out-of-hospital settings are propelling the industry growth. The prevalence of heart failure, cardiac arrest,
and atrial fibrillation among millennials is rising due to sedentary lifestyles, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and others. According to the CDC, approximately 12.1
million Americans will be suffering from atrial fibrillation by 2030.
 
Catheter Ablation of AF and VT  
 
Accurate recording of electrograms is critical to efficient mapping and ablation of complex arrhythmias. We believe that the clearer recordings and the very small amplitude of
intracardiac signals—high frequency, small amplitude components in midst of large physiologic signals; signals important to characterize critical substrate, such as fractionated
atrial and ventricular electrograms; and high-frequency, low-amplitude signals such as the Purkinje potentials—provided by PURE EP may improve outcomes during EP
studies and ablation procedures for a variety of arrhythmias.
 
For patients who are candidates for ablation, an EP study is necessary to define the targeted sites for the ablation procedure. Two common, yet complex, conditions for which
ablation procedures are performed are AF and VT. Most cardiac arrhythmias are well understood, and ablation simply requires destroying a small area of heart tissue possessing
electrical abnormality. In contrast, complex arrhythmias, such as AF and VT, have complex pathophysiology and, because knowledge of their origins and mechanisms are
incomplete, ablation treatments for these arrhythmias are largely empirical. Furthermore, the length of these procedures, which typically last from 2-4 hours, exposes the
physician and staff to extensive radiation, requiring them to wear heavy lead vests. Consequently, ablating AF and VT has been regarded as being difficult.
 
AF is the most common heart rhythm disorder in the world and increases the risk for stroke 5-fold, which can lead to death. It has a significant global impact, affecting nearly
40 million individuals worldwide and 6 million in the United States alone. AF is a serious condition that affects the rhythm of your heart, causing it to beat irregularly. This
irregular heartbeat can manifest in various ways, including beating too fast, switching between fast and slow rhythms, or skipping beats altogether. In 2020, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention stated that it is estimated that 12.1 million people in the United States will have AF in 2030, more than 454,000 patients hospitalized annually
as the primary diagnosis, and AF contributes to an estimated 158,000 deaths each year. An increasing proportion of diagnosed AF cases are now being treated via ablation, as
both physician confidence and the devices used in these procedures improve. A growing amount of positive clinical data has demonstrated the efficacy of AF ablation when
compared to the traditional first-line treatment of anti-arrhythmic drugs.

Pulsed Field Ablation
 
Catheter ablation can especially be an effective treatment for patients with symptomatic, drug-refractory AF. Traditional thermal ablation may result in adverse events such as
esophageal injury, phrenic nerve injury, and pulmonary vein stenosis. Conversely, pulsed field ablation, which was first approved in December 2023, creates lesions in cardiac
tissue nonthermally and within milliseconds through irreversible electroporation. Acute clinical results demonstrated that pulsed field ablation can achieve pulmonary vein
isolation without collateral damage in a time-efficient manner. Irreversible electroporation is a novel, nonthermal method for cardiac ablation that can improve the safety and
efficiency of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. 
 
Recording electrograms (the electrical signals recorded from the heart) during the procedure are crucial for guiding the ablation process. Electrograms allow the EP doctors to
assess the effectiveness of the pulsed field energy delivery and identify areas where further treatment is needed, particularly when aiming to achieve complete isolation of
targeted cardiac tissue like pulmonary veins in atrial fibrillation treatment; essentially, electrograms help monitor the changes in electrical activity within the heart as the pulsed
field ablation is being performed.
 
Unlike traditional ablation techniques that use heat to create lesions, PFA utilizes high-voltage electrical pulses to induce irreversible electroporation, causing cell death without
significant tissue heating; this makes electrogram analysis particularly important to ensure adequate lesion formation.
 
By analyzing electrogram characteristics like amplitude and morphology before and after PFA application, clinicians can determine if a targeted area (like a pulmonary vein) is
electrically isolated, meaning the abnormal electrical signals are no longer able to propagate through that region.
 
Electrograms are recorded in real-time during PFA, enabling the physician to precisely position the ablation catheter and adjust the energy delivery based on the electrical
signals observed. Changes in electrogram characteristics after PFA can indicate the extent and quality of the created lesion, helping to optimize treatment and minimize
unnecessary energy delivery.  
 
EP Lab Environment and EP Recording Systems
 
The electrophysiology (EP) laboratory consists of sophisticated equipment that requires an electrophysiologist to mentally integrate information from a number of sources
during procedures. There are numerous monitors in an EP lab that provide and display this variety of information. An electrophysiologist needs to evaluate the acquired cardiac
signals and the patient’s responses to any induced arrhythmias during the procedure. However, it can be difficult for an electrophysiologist to synthesize the disparate
information produced by the numerous monitors in the lab and calculate the real-time, three-dimensional orientation of the anatomy and the location of the recording and
ablation catheters. As the number of EP procedures increase, a variety of diagnostic, therapeutic and highly specialized ablation catheters are widely available and continue to
be developed. In addition, remote robotic and magnetic navigation systems have been developed to address limitations of dexterity in controlling the catheter tip, especially
during complex arrhythmia ablation procedures. We believe that, considering the improvements being made with respect to other equipment used in the EP lab and the
continual increase of ablation procedures, the EP recorders currently available on the market are not sufficiently advanced with respect to the quality of their recordings to
deliver adequate results. We believe that PURE EP will be able to deliver superior quality of recordings that will allow it to successfully integrate with the other advanced
equipment found in the EP lab.

Generally, some current electrophysiology recording systems can effectively support the treatment of arrhythmias such as atrial flutter and supraventricular tachycardia, which
show up as large-amplitude, low-frequency signals. However, more complex and prevalent arrhythmias, such as AF and VT, which are characterized by low-amplitude, high-
frequency signals, have not found an effective evaluation of all relevant signals. This signal detection, acquisition, and isolation can be further complicated by equipment line
noise and pacing signals. Current EP recorders use low-pass, high-pass, and notch filters to remove noise and artifacts from the various electrical signal information.
Unfortunately, conventional filtering techniques can alter signals and make it difficult or impossible to see low-amplitude, high-frequency signals that can be inherent in cardiac
monitoring, the visualization of which signals could help treat atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. It has been recently recognized that the assurance of waveform
integrity, such as for the noise-free acquisition of intracardiac and ECG signals in an EP environment, had not been previously accomplished due to contamination of various
signals by artifacts and noise.
 
The requirement for optimal signal integrity is amplified during ablation treatments of AF and VT. One of the main objectives of the AF ablation procedure is to precisely
identify, ablate and eliminate pulmonary vein potentials and one of the main objectives of the VT procedure is to map the arrhythmia substrate and precisely identify, ablate and
eliminate small abnormal potentials. The information provided by recorders is essential for an electrophysiologist to determine ablation strategy during termination of both
pulmonary vein potentials and VT. Therefore, it is important that the recording system’s noise removal technique does not alter the appearance and fidelity of these potentials.
As a result, it is necessary that any new signal processing technology preserves signal fidelity as much as possible during EP recordings; otherwise, the signals that are needed
to guide the ablation procedures will be difficult to distinguish due to noise interference.
 
Our Product
 
The patented PURE EP™ Platform is designed to address long-standing limitations that slow and disrupt cardiac catheter ablation procedures, such as environmental lab noise
from other equipment, signal saturation, slow signal recovery, and inaccurate display of fractionated potentials. PURE EP is a signal processing platform that combines
advanced hardware and software to address known challenges associated to signal acquisition, to enable electrophysiologists to see more signals and analyze them in real-time.
The device aims to minimize noise and artifacts from cardiac recordings and acquire high-fidelity cardiac signals. Improving fidelity of acquired cardiac signals may potentially
increase the diagnostic value of these signals, thereby possibly improving accuracy and efficiency of the EP studies and ablation procedures.
 
Our PURE EP can record raw (unaltered) cardiac signals with multiple display options, low noise, and a large input signal dynamic range. This is achieved using a low-noise
amplifier topology with minimal filtering to band-limit the signal and a high-resolution A/D converter. In addition, PURE EP can provide large-signal (e.g., from a defibrillator)
input protection and radio frequency (RF) signal (e.g., from ablation) noise suppression. There is no need for gain switching in this architecture, and the full range of input
signals is digitized with high resolution.
 
We are focused on improving intracardiac signal acquisition and enhancing diagnostic information for catheter ablation procedures for all arrhythmias, especially complex
types like VT and AF.
 
The PURE EP™ Platform enables electrophysiologists to acquire raw signal data in real-time—absent of unnecessary noise or interference—to maximize procedural success
and minimize unnecessary inefficiencies. As physician advocates, we believe that the ability to maintain the integrity of intracardiac signals with precision and clarity without
driving up procedural costs has never been more pertinent.
 
11

 
 
We believe that PURE EP and its advanced signal processing tools may contribute to improvements in patient outcomes in connection with catheter ablation due to the
following advantages over currently available devices on the market:
 
 
●
Less noise: PURE EP’s low-noise proprietary architecture was engineered to enable acquisition of high-fidelity signals in the original, unfiltered format. PURE EP’s
Main System Unit (MSU) topology incorporates advanced shielding and very low noise front-end components.
 
 
 
 
●
Wider range: An expanded dynamic range retains cardiac signal details and reduces saturation. PURE EP™ combines a low-noise signal architecture with a fixed
range up to 500mV, so signals are rarely clipped or limited by quantization noise.
 
 
 
 
●
Higher definition: PURE EP supports a large frequency bandwidth and linear signal acquisition to accurately display complex fractionated signals, even at lower
amplitudes and higher frequencies.
 
 
 
 
●
Unipolar signals: PURE EP incorporates an innovative WCT+™ design for acquiring unipolar signals, relying on a common front-end circuitry similar to how bipolar
intracardiac signals are acquired.
 
 
 
  
●
Customizable software and filters: PURE EP offers software modules and specialty digital filters, so electrophysiologists can customize their interface and optimize
signals for mapping, signal interpretation and during therapy delivery.
 
 
 
  
●
Seamless integration: PURE EP integrates with existing EP labs and workflows. It is compatible and complementary with EP recording systems, mapping systems,
robotic equipment, and multi-display panels.
 
We believe that PURE EP’s features may allow physicians to better determine precise ablation targets, strategy, and end point of procedures with the objective of reducing the
need for patients to undergo multiple procedures, and to allow for less experienced EP physicians to perform more complex procedures.
 
Initial Analysis
 
According to S. J. Asirvatham, MD, et. al. (“Signals and Signal Processing for the Electrophysiologist,” Circ Arrhythm Electrophysiol. (2011) 4:965-973), recording
environments in a typical electrophysiology laboratory presents challenging situations. S. J. Asirvatham, MD, et. al., state, “Successful mapping and ablation in the
electrophysiology laboratory is critically dependent on acquiring multiple, low-amplitude, intracardiac signals in the presence of numerous sources of electric noise and
interference and displaying these signals in an uncomplicated and clinically relevant fashion, with minimal artifacts. This represents a significant engineering challenge and, in
real-life electrophysiology laboratory, is not always successful.”
 
Proof of Concept Testing
 
In the second and third quarters of 2013, we performed and finalized testing of our proof of concept unit by initially using an electrocardiogram/intracardiac simulator at our
lab, and subsequently by obtaining pre-clinical recordings from the lab at the University of California at Los Angeles. We believe that our proof of concept unit performed well
as compared to GE’s CardioLab recording system, in that the electrocardiogram and intracardiac signals displayed on our proof of concept unit showed less baseline wander,
noise and artifacts compared to signals displayed on GE’s CardioLab recording system. Subsequently, we determined the final design of the PURE EP System prototype to use
for end-user preference studies, additional pre-clinical studies and research studies.
 
Prototype Testing
 
After conducting research of peer-reviewed EP publications (see Initial Analysis in Our Products section above), we contacted Samuel J. Asirvatham. M.D. (who we believed to
be an expert in the field of signal-based catheter ablation), at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Since the end of 2014, we have collaborated with Dr. Asirvatham and other
physicians affiliated with Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota and Jacksonville, Florida. We have performed pre-clinical studies at Mayo Clinic since 2015 to validate
technology within the PURE EP System prototype. These studies have been designed to determine clinical effectiveness for features within the PURE EP System. Since March
2016, we have published nine manuscripts in collaboration with the physicians from Mayo Clinic evidencing our pre-clinical findings. To date, we have conducted a total of
twenty-four pre-clinical studies with the PURE EP System, twenty-one of which were conducted at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. We also conducted a pre-clinical
study at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, NY with emphasis on the VT model; and two pre-clinical studies at the University of Pennsylvania in preparation for clinical
studies to be conducted there.

Clinical Evaluations
 
In February 2019, we conducted the first clinical cases with our PURE EP™ System. The observational patient cases were performed by Andrea Natale, M.D., F.A.C.C.,
F.H.R.S., F.E.S.C., Executive Medical Director, Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute at St. David’s Medical Center in Austin, Texas. In April 2019, we announced the completion
of our second set of observational patient cases, which were performed at Prisma Health at Greenville Health System in South Carolina by Andrew Brenyo, MD, FHRS. Dr.
Brenyo used the PURE EP™ System during procedures on patients with ischemic ventricular tachycardias, AF, PVC, and atypical flutters.
 
In May 2019, we announced the completion of our third set of observational patient cases at Indiana University under the leadership of Prof. John M. Miller, M.D., and Dr.
Mithilesh K. Das, MBBS. Drs. Miller and Das used the PURE EP™ System during procedures on patients with atypical flutter, atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia
(AVNRT), AF, supraventricular tachycardia, premature ventricular contractions, and a rare case of dual septal pathway. In August 2019, observational patient cases at Santa
Barbara Cottage Hospital in California were performed by Brett Andrew Gidney, M.D. The initial experience across these early evaluation centers showed the PURE EP™
System functions as designed with positive feedback from EP users about the improved signal detection and fidelity.
 
In November 2019, we commenced our first clinical study for the PURE EP™ System titled, “Novel Cardiac Signal Processing System for Electrophysiology Procedures
(PURE EP 2.0 Study).” The PURE EP 2.0 Study was conducted at three U.S. hospitals: Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute at St. David’s Medical Center in Austin, Texas,
Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts.
 
In April 2021, we announced the completion of the enrollment in the PURE EP 2.0 Study. Intracardiac signal data of clinical interest were collected during 51 cardiac ablation
procedures using the PURE EP™ System, the signal recording system, and the 3D mapping system at the same time stamps. The samples were randomized and subjected to
blinded, head-to-head evaluation by three independent electrophysiologists to determine the overall quality and clinical utility of PURE EP™ signals when compared to
conventional sources. Each reviewer responded to the same 235 signal comparisons using a 10-point rating scale.
 
Results showed 93% consensus across the blinded reviewers with a 75% overall improvement in intracardiac signal quality and confidence in interpreting PURE EP signals
over the signals from conventional sources. Further analysis of the responses from the blinded reviewers showed an 83% (p-value <0.001) improved confidence when
interpreting complex multi-component signals, leading to a better understanding of the catheter position in relation to the ablation target. Additionally, there was a 73% (p-value
<0.001) improved visualization of small, fractionated potentials increasing the proper analysis of scar and abnormal conduction tissue characteristics.
 
In April 2024, we began conducting the research study, Tissue Characterization by Frequency Assessment in Pulmonary Vein Isolation with Andrea Natale, MD at Texas
Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute in Austin, Texas. Pulsed Field Ablation is a newer ablation modality for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). The promise of PFA is a better safety
profile while offering comparable efficacy to that of thermal energy ablation. While it has been established that each catheter design requires a specific waveform tuning to
create durable lesions, it remains unclear if there is a specific tissue characterization that is better suited for one PFA technology versus another. We believe that PURE EP has
the ability to capture critical information related to tissue responsiveness to PFA.
 
While the results from PFA are trending to have better long-term outcomes versus thermal energy ablation methods, there remains AF reoccurrence even with optimized
waveform tuning. Tissue characteristics may play an important role in the selection of the PFA system and long-term results. Tissue characterization can be accomplished with
the PURE EP™ Platform in near real-time during 3D mapping prior to the ablation.  We believe that PURE EP provides precise, real-time data that other systems do not
capture during these types of procedures.
 
Technology and Development Plan
 
PURE EP has been developed by a technology team consisting of engineers and consultants with expertise in digital signal processing, low power analog and digital circuit
design, software development, embedded system development, electromechanical design, testing and system integration, and the regulatory requirements for medical devices.
Currently, we have pivoted from a focus on commercial distribution of hardware to the research and development of novel software algorithms that advance our understanding
of mechanisms and tissue characteristics. Data collection began in December 2023 and is ongoing at TCAI. Despite its rapid adoption, there is room to improve the long-term
outcomes of pulsed field ablation (PFA). Our primary focus is aimed at improving the specificity of PFA treatment and improving clinical outcomes.

Customers
 
In December 2020, we announced that three PURE EPs were contracted for purchase by St. David’s Healthcare in Austin, Texas and were subsequently sold in February 2021.
These units were our first commercial sales. We also sold three PURE EPs to Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research in 2021 and leased two PURE EPs in
2022, one in July 2022 to Overland Park Regional Medical Center and one in October 2022 to Methodist Hospital in San Antonio.
 
Competition 
 
We plan to capitalize on PURE EP’s novel software modules for incorporation into other systems within the EP lab that display cardiac signals; at this time, we do not believe
we have direct competition. However, in general, the EP market is characterized by intense competition. There are currently four large companies that share the majority of the
EP recording market share in the US. They produce the following electrophysiology recording systems, with an average selling price of approximately $160,000 (source: DRG
Medtech 360 Millennium report on EP Devices, issued in June 2019):

CathVision is developing an EP recording system, ECGenius System™ and recently obtained FDA 510(k) clearance in May 2022.
 
Based upon our analysis of data taken from patent applications filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) and 510(k) approval applications filed with the
FDA, and various publications, we believe that the above recording systems are built on relatively old technologies and all use similar approach in applying hardware and
digital filters to remove noise and artifacts. We reasonably believe that such an approach sacrifices cardiac signal fidelity, and in the case of ablation, has a direct impact on the
ablation strategy of an electrophysiologist. The method to remove noise and artifacts used by the conventional recorders could be a contributing factor to the multiple (or
repeated) ablation procedures that are frequently required in order to completely cure patients from complex arrhythmias. We are not currently aware of any other companies
that are developing similar signal processing technologies for electrophysiology laboratories.

Service Act § 340B (42 U.S.C. § 256b), the Department of Justice through the Federal False Claims Act and various criminal statutes, and state governments under the
Medicaid and other state sponsored or funded programs. Various states also have state laws equivalent to certain healthcare fraud and abuse laws, including but not limited to
state equivalents of the Anti-Kickback Statute and the Stark law, as well as more general state laws regulating all healthcare activities and certain healthcare products, including
medical devices.
 
In addition to being regulated by the FDA, advertising and promotion of certain types of medical devices in the United States is also regulated by the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) and by state regulatory and enforcement authorities. Recently, promotional activities for FDA-regulated products of other companies have been the subject
of enforcement action brought under healthcare laws and consumer protection statutes. Further, competitors can initiate litigation relating to advertising claims under the federal
Lanham Act and similar state laws.
 
FDA Regulation
 
Our solutions include software and hardware which will be used for patient diagnosis and, accordingly, are subject to regulation by the FDA and other regulatory agencies.
FDA regulations govern, among other things, the following activities that we perform and will continue to perform in connection with:
 
●
Product design and development;
 
 
●
Product testing;
 
 
●
Product manufacturing;
 
 
●
Product labeling and packaging;
 
 
●
Product handling, storage, and installation;
 
 
 ●
Pre-market clearance or approval;
 
 
 ●
Advertising and promotion; and
 
 
●
Product sales, distribution, and servicing.

FDA Pre-market Clearance and Approval Processes
 
The FDA classifies all medical devices into one of three classes based on the risks associated with the medical device and the controls deemed necessary to reasonably ensure
the device’s safety and effectiveness. Those three classes are:
 
 
●
Class I devices present a low risk and are not life-sustaining or life-supporting. The majority of Class I devices are subject only to “general controls” (e.g., prohibition
against adulteration and misbranding, registration and listing, good manufacturing practices, labeling, and adverse event reporting. General controls are baseline
requirements that apply to all classes of medical devices.)
 
 
 
 
●
Class II devices present a moderate risk and are devices for which general controls alone are not sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance of safety and
effectiveness. Devices in Class II are subject to both general controls and “special controls” (e.g., special labeling, compliance with performance standards, and post
market surveillance. Unless exempted, Class II devices typically require FDA clearance before marketing, through the premarket notification (510(k)) process).
 
 
 
 
●
Class III devices present the highest risk. These devices generally are implantable, life-sustaining, life-supporting, or for a use that is of substantial importance in
preventing impairment of human health, and/or they present a potential unreasonable risk of illness or injury. Class III devices are devices for which general controls,
by themselves, are insufficient and for which there is insufficient information to determine that application of special controls would provide a reasonable assurance of
safety and effectiveness. Class III devices are subject to general controls and typically require FDA approval of a premarket approval (“PMA”) application before
marketing.
 
Unless it is exempt from premarket review requirements, a medical device must receive marketing authorization from the FDA prior to being commercially marketed,
distributed, or sold in interstate commerce in the United States. The most common pathways for obtaining marketing authorizations are 510(k) and PMA. With the enactment of
the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA), the de novo pathway was made available for certain low-to-moderate risk devices that do not qualify
for 510(k) clearance due to the absence of a predicate device.
 
510(k) Clearance Process
 
The 510(k) review process compares a new device to an existing legally marketed device (or, “predicate device”). “Substantial equivalence” means that the proposed new
device: (i) has the same intended use as the predicate device; (ii) has the same or similar technological characteristics as the predicate device; (iii) is as safe and effective as the
predicate device, as shown by the supporting information submitted within the 510(k); and (iv) does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate
device.
 
To obtain 510(k) clearance, one must submit a 510(k) containing sufficient information and data to demonstrate that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to a legally
marketed predicate device. This data generally includes non-clinical performance testing (e.g., software validation, bench testing electrical safety testing), but may also include
clinical data. Typically, it takes approximately three-to-six months for the FDA to complete its review of a 510(k) submission; however, it can take significantly longer and not
all 510(k) submissions are accepted by the FDA for review, and not all are cleared following FDA review. During its review of a 510(k), the FDA may request additional
information, including clinical data, which may significantly prolong the review process. After completing its review of a 510(k), the FDA may issue an order, in the form of a
letter (i) finding the proposed device to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device and stating that the device can be marketed in the U.S., or (ii) finding the proposed
device not substantially equivalent to the predicate device and stating that device cannot be marketed in the U.S. We received 510(k) clearance for PURE EP on August 8, 2018.
 
17

 
 
After a device receives 510(k) clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change in its intended use,
will require a new 510(k) clearance or could require a pre-market approval, which requires more data and is generally a significantly longer process than the 510(k) clearance
process. The FDA requires each manufacturer to make this determination initially, but the FDA can review any such decision and can disagree with a manufacturer’s
determination. If the FDA disagrees with a manufacturer’s determination, it can require the manufacturer to cease marketing and/or recall the modified device until 510(k)
clearance or a pre-market approval is obtained.
 
A device that reaches market through the 510(k) process is not considered to be “approved” by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. They are generally referred to as
“cleared” or “510(k) cleared” devices. Nevertheless, it can be marketed and sold in the U.S.
 
The Premarket Approval Pathway
 
The PMA process is the most stringent type of device marketing application required by the FDA. Whether PMA is granted is based on a determination by the FDA that the
PMA application contains sufficient valid scientific evidence to ensure that the device is safe and effective for its intended use(s). A PMA application generally includes
extensive information about the device including the results of clinical testing conducted on the device and a detailed description of the manufacturing process.
 
After a PMA application is accepted for review, the FDA begins an in-depth review of the submitted information. FDA regulations provide 180 days to review the PMA
application and make a determination; however, in practice, the review time is typically longer (e.g., 1-3 years). During this review period, the FDA may request additional
information or clarification of information already provided. Also, during the review period, an advisory panel of experts from outside the FDA may be convened to review and
evaluate the data supporting the application and provide recommendations as to whether the data provide a reasonable assurance that the device is safe and effective for its
intended use. In addition, the FDA generally will conduct a preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facility to ensure compliance with the quality system regulation (QSR),
which imposes comprehensive development, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance requirements for the design and manufacturing of a medical device.
 
Based on its review, the FDA may (i) issue an order approving the PMA, (ii) issue a letter stating the PMA is “approvable” (e.g., minor additional information is needed), (iii)
issue a letter stating the PMA is “not approvable,” or (iv) issue an order denying PMA. A company may not market a device subject to PMA review until the FDA issues an
order approving the PMA application. As a condition to approval, the FDA may impose post-approval requirements intended to ensure the continued safety and effectiveness of
the device including, among other things, restrictions on labeling, promotion, sale and distribution, and requiring the collection of additional clinical data. Failure to comply
with the conditions of approval can result in materially adverse enforcement action, including withdrawal of the approval.
 
Most modifications to a PMA approved device, including changes to the design, labeling, or manufacturing process, require prior approval before being implemented. Prior
approval is obtained through submission of a PMA supplement. The type of information required to support a PMA supplement and the FDA’s time for review of a PMA
supplement vary depending on the nature of the modification.
 
We obtained FDA clearance related to the PURE EP via the 510(k) process in 2018 and we do not anticipate a PMA for it or other devices at this time.

Pervasive and continuing FDA regulation
 
After a medical device is placed on the market, numerous FDA regulatory requirements apply, including, but not limited to, the following:
 
●
Quality System Regulation (QSR), which requires manufacturers to follow design, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during the
manufacturing process;
 
 
●
Establishment Registration, which requires establishments involved in the production and distribution of medical devices intended for commercial distribution in the U.S.
to register with the FDA;
 
 
●
Medical Device Listing, which requires manufacturers to list the devices they have in commercial distribution with the FDA;
 
 
●
Labeling regulations, which prohibit “misbranded” devices from entering the market, as well as mandate the inclusion of certain content in device labels and labeling and
prohibit the promotion of products for unapproved or “off-label” uses and impose other restrictions on labeling; and
 
 
●
Medical Device Reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA if their device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or
malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if it were to recur.
 
Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in enforcement action by the FDA, which may include one or more of the following sanctions:
 
●
Fines, injunctions, and civil penalties;
 
 
 ●
Mandatory recall or seizure of our products;
 
 
 ●
Administrative detention or banning of our products;
 
 
●
Operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production;
 
 
●
Refusing our request for 510(k) clearance or pre-market approval of new product versions;
 
 
●
Revocation of 510(k) clearance or pre-market approvals previously granted; and
 
 
●
Criminal penalties.
 
We are subject to unannounced device inspections by the FDA, as well as other regulatory agencies overseeing the implementation of, and compliance with, applicable state
public health regulations. These inspections may include our suppliers’ facilities.
 
U.S. Healthcare Laws and Regulations
 
In the United States, there are various healthcare fraud and abuse laws that apply to medical device manufacturers, such as us, with respect to our financial relationships with
hospitals, physicians, patients, marketers and sales agents, and other potential purchasers or acquirers of our products or those who are in a position to refer or recommend our
products. Federal and state anti-kickback laws prohibit the payment or receipt of kickbacks, bribes or other remuneration intended to induce the purchase or recommendation of
healthcare products and services. The U.S. government has published regulations that identify exemptions or “safe harbors,” which describe various payment and business
practices that, although they potentially implicate the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, are not treated as offenses under the statute, and thereby, protected from enforcement
actions under the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. To qualify, the activity must fit squarely within the safe harbor. Arrangements that do not meet a safe harbor are not necessarily
illegal but will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and the federal safe harbors may not apply to state anti-kickback laws. Other provisions of state and federal law impose
civil and criminal penalties for presenting, or causing to be presented, to third-party payors (including the government) for reimbursement claims that are false or fraudulent, or
for items or services that were not provided as claimed. False claims allegations under federal, and some state, laws may be brought on behalf of the government by private
persons, or “whistleblowers,” who could then receive a share of any recovery. In addition, the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)
imposes criminal and civil liability for executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, or knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a
material fact or making any materially false statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. The Physician Self-Referral Law,
commonly referred to as the Stark law, is a strict liability statute that prohibits physicians from referring patients to receive certain services defined as “designated health
services” payable by Medicare or Medicaid from entities with which the physician or an immediate family member has a financial relationship, unless a specific exception
applies. Violations of these laws can lead to civil and criminal penalties, including but not limited to punitive sanctions, damage assessments, money penalties, imprisonment,
denial of payment, exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs, or some combination thereof.

International Regulation
 
International sales of medical devices are subject to foreign government regulations, which vary substantially from country to country. The time required to obtain approval by
a foreign country may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval, and the requirements may differ significantly.
 
The European Union has adopted legislation, in the form of directives to be implemented in each member state, concerning the regulation of medical devices within the
European Union. The directives include, among others, the Medical Device Directive that establishes standards for regulating the design, manufacture, clinical trials, labeling,
and vigilance reporting for medical devices. Our PURE EP may be affected by this legislation. Under the European Union Medical Device Directive, medical devices are
classified into four classes, I, IIa, IIb, and III, with class I being the lowest risk and class III being the highest risk. Under the Medical Device Directive, a competent authority is
nominated by the government of each member state to monitor and ensure compliance with the Medical Device Directive. The competent authority of each member state then
designates a notified body to oversee the conformity assessment procedures set forth in the Medical Device Directive, whereby manufacturers demonstrate that their devices
comply with the requirements of the Medical Device Directive and are entitled to bear the CE mark. CE is an abbreviation for Conformité Européenne (or European
Conformity) and the CE mark, when placed on a product, indicates compliance with the requirements of the applicable directive. Medical devices properly bearing the CE mark
may be commercially distributed throughout the European Union. Failure to obtain the CE mark will preclude us from selling the PURE EP and related products in the
European Union.
 
●
Administrative detention or banning of our products;
 
 
●
Operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production;
 
 
●
Refusing our request for 510(k) clearance or pre-market approval of new product versions;
 
 
●
Revocation of 510(k) clearance or pre-market approvals previously granted; and
 
 
●
Criminal penalties.

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS
 
RISK FACTORS
 
There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other
information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the consolidated financial statements and related notes. If any of the following risks, or any other risks not
described below, actually occur, it is likely that our business, financial condition, and/or operating results could be materially adversely affected. The risks and uncertainties
described below include forward-looking statements and our actual results may differ from those discussed in these forward-looking statements.
 
Risk Factor Summary
 
Below is a summary of the principal factors that make an investment in our common stock speculative or risky. This summary does not address all of the risks that we face.
Additional discussion of risks summarized in this risk factor summary, and other risks that we face, can be found below under the heading “Risk Factors” and should be
carefully considered, together with other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the SEC before making investment decisions regarding our
common stock.
 
 
●
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
 
 
 
●
Because we have reverted to a development stage company, we expect to incur operating losses.
 
 
 
 
●
Our PURE EP and other product candidates are in continued development and may not be successfully developed or commercialized.
 
 
 
 
●
We expect to derive our revenue from sales of our PURE EP and other products we may develop. If we fail to generate revenue from these sources, our results of
operations and the value of our business will be materially and adversely affected.
 
 
 
 
●
We may need to finance our future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. Any
additional funds that we obtain may not be on terms favorable to us or our stockholders and may require us to relinquish valuable rights.
 
 
 
 
●
We may be unable to develop our existing or future technology.
 
 
 
 
●
We may experience delays in any phase of the preclinical or clinical development of a product, including during its research and development.
 
 
 
 
●
We have completed one clinical trial of our product. The results of additional clinical studies may not support the usefulness of our technology.
 
 
 
 
●
The medical device industry is subject to stringent regulation and failure to obtain regulatory approval will prevent commercialization of our products.
 
 
 
 
●
We, and our third-party manufacturer(s), are, and will be, subject to extensive regulation by the FDA.
 
 
 
 
●
The market for our technology and revenue generation avenues for our products may be slow to develop, if at all.
 
 
 
 
●
Our estimate of the size of our addressable market may prove to be inaccurate.
 
 
 
 
●
The EP market is highly competitive.
 
 
 
 
●
If we do not effectively manage changes in our business, these changes could place a significant strain on our management and operations.
 
22

 
 
 
●
Our strategic business plan may not produce the intended growth in revenue and operating income.
 
 
 
 
●
We currently have limited sales, marketing or distribution operations and will need to expand our expertise in these areas.
 
 
 
 
●
Our product development program depends upon third-party researchers, including Mayo, who are outside our control and whose negative performance could
materially hinder or delay our pre-clinical testing or clinical trials.
 
 
 
 
●
We may face risks associated with future litigation and claims.
 
 
 
 
●
The Company has concluded that there is a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting, which, if not remediated, could materially adversely
affect its ability to timely and accurately report its results of operations and financial condition. The accuracy of the Company’s financial reporting depends on the
effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting.
 
 
 
 
●
If we do not obtain protection for our intellectual property rights, our competitors may be able to take advantage of our research and development efforts to develop
competing products.
 
 
 
 
●
If we infringe upon the rights of third parties, we could be prevented from selling products and forced to pay damages and defend against litigation.
 
 
 
 
●
We depend on our collaboration with Mayo Clinic for the research and development of additional advanced features of PURE EP. If this collaboration is not
successful, we may not be able to realize the market potential of such features and may not have rights to use any such developed advanced features.
 
 
 
 
●
If we fail to comply with our obligations under our license agreements, we could lose the rights to intellectual property that is important to our business.
 
 
 
 
●
We may be subject to damages resulting from claims that we or our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.
 
 
 
 
●
Obtaining and maintaining patent protection depends on compliance with various procedures and other requirements, and our patent protection could be reduced or
eliminated in case of non-compliance with these requirements.
 
 
 
 
●
The market price for our common stock may fluctuate significantly, which could result in substantial losses by our investors.
 
 
 
 
●
Although our shares of common stock are now listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we currently have a limited trading volume, which results in higher price volatility
for, and reduced liquidity of, our common stock.
 
 
 
 
●
Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in a delisting of our common stock, which could negatively impact the market price and
liquidity of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets.
 
 
 
 
●
Future sales of our common stock in the public market or other financings could cause our stock price to fall.
 
 
 
 
●
If we sell additional equity or debt securities to fund our operations, it may impose restrictions on our business.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
 
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an opinion on our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K that states that
the consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable for a going concern, which assume that we will realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the
ordinary course of business. We have incurred substantial operating losses and have used cash in our operating activities for the past few years. As of and for the year ended
December 31, 2024, we had a net loss of $10.3 million and net cash used in operating activities of $4.8 million. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. We also cannot be certain that
additional financing, if needed, will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could limit our ability to continue our operations.
There remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.
 
To date, we have experienced negative cash flow from development of our technology, as well as from the costs associated with building a sales force to market our product and
services. We expect to incur substantial net losses for the foreseeable future in order to further develop and commercialize our product. We also expect that our selling, general
and administrative expenses will continue to increase due to the additional costs associated with market development activities and expanding our staff to sell and support our
product. Our ability to achieve or, if achieved, sustain profitability is based on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the market acceptance of our
products, competitive product development and our market penetration and margins. We may never be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or, if achieved, sustain
profitability.
 
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with further development and commercialization of our technology and any future tests, we are unable to predict the
extent of any future losses or when we will become profitable, if ever. We may never become profitable, and you may never receive a return on an investment in our securities.
An investor in our securities must carefully consider the substantial challenges, risks and uncertainties inherent in the development and commercialization in the medical device
industry. We may never successfully commercialize our technology and our business may fail.
 
Because we have reverted to a development stage company, we expect to incur operating losses.
 
We have diverted from early commercialization stage to a development stage company and we expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several
years as our marketing, commercialization, and customer development along with additional research and development increase for our PURE EP and other product candidates.
The amount of our future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our products that have generated minimal commercial revenue, and, although we
expect to generate revenues this year from the commercial sale of our PURE EP, may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to fund our operating expenses, if any. Our
ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, the following:
 
 
●
successful completion of the pre-clinical and clinical development of our products;
 
 
 
 
●
obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA or other regulatory authorities;
 
 
 
 
●
establishing manufacturing, sales, and marketing arrangements, either alone or with third parties; and
 
 
 
 
●
raising sufficient funds to finance our activities.
 
We might not succeed at all, or at any, of these undertakings. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects, and results of operations may
be materially adversely affected.
 
24

 
 
Our PURE EP and other product candidates are in continued development and may not be successfully developed or commercialized.
 
Although our main product candidate, PURE EP, received FDA 510(k) clearance from FDA, we are currently conducting research studies, which may require substantial
further capital expenditure, to establish the safety and efficacy data needed to obtain acceptance by the medical community and coverage by third-party payors. The continued
development of PURE EP, and/or any other product candidates we may develop, is dependent upon our ability to obtain sufficient additional financing. However, even if we are
able to obtain the requisite financing to fund our development program, we cannot assure you that our current or future product candidates will be successfully developed or
commercialized. Our failure to develop, manufacture, receive regulatory approval for, or successfully commercialize any of our product candidates could result in the failure of
our business and a loss of all of your investment in our company.
 
We expect to derive our revenue from sales of our PURE EP and other products we may develop. If we fail to generate revenue from these sources, our results of
operations and the value of our business will be materially and adversely affected.
 
As of December 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $0.1 million. Based on our currently expected level of operating expenditures, we do not expect
that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations in the near future. Our revenue was generated from sales of our PURE EP, for which we
made first commercial sale in February 2021, and other products we may develop. Future sales of these products, if any, will be subject to, among other things, commercial and
market uncertainties that may be outside our control. If we fail to generate our intended revenues from these products, our results of operations and the value of our business
and securities would be materially and adversely affected.
 
We may need to finance our future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. Any
additional funds that we obtain may not be on terms favorable to us or our stockholders and may require us to relinquish valuable rights.
 
Until PURE EP or another product of ours become commercially viable, we will have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from cash on hand, public or private
equity offerings, debt financings, bank credit facilities or corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. However, we may need to raise additional funds more quickly if
one or more of our assumptions prove to be incorrect or if we choose to expand our product development efforts more rapidly than we presently anticipate. We also may decide
to raise additional funds before we require them if we are presented with favorable terms for raising capital.
 
If we seek to sell additional equity or debt securities, obtain a bank credit facility or enter into a corporate collaboration or licensing arrangement, we may not obtain favorable
terms for us and/or our stockholders or be able to raise any capital at all, all of which could result in a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. The sale
of additional equity or debt securities, if convertible, could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and
could also result in covenants that would restrict our operations. Raising additional funds through collaboration or licensing arrangements with third parties may require us to
relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates, or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us or
our stockholders. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, reduce or forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractive business opportunities,
all of which could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
 
We may be unable to develop our existing or future technology.
 
Our product, the PURE EP, may not deliver the levels of accuracy and reliability needed to make it a successful product in the marketplace, and the development of such
accuracy and reliability may be indefinitely delayed or may never be achieved. In addition, we may experience delays in the development of our technology for other reasons,
including failure to obtain necessary funding and failure to obtain all necessary regulatory approvals. Failure to develop this or other technology could have an adverse material
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

We may experience delays in any phase of the preclinical or clinical development of a product, including during its research and development.
 
We may experience delays in any phase of the preclinical or clinical development of a product, including during its research and development. The completion of any of these
studies may be delayed or halted for numerous reasons, including, but not limited to, the following:
 
 
●
successful completion of the pre-clinical and clinical development of our products;
 
 
 
 
●
the FDA or other regulatory authorities do not approve a clinical study protocol or place a clinical study on hold;
 
 
 
 
●
patients do not enroll in a clinical study or results from patients are not received at the expected rate;
 
 
 
 
●
patients discontinue participation in a clinical study prior to the scheduled endpoint at a higher than expected rate;
 
 
 
 
●
patients experience adverse events from a product we develop;
 
 
 
 
●
third-party clinical investigators do not perform the studies in accordance with the anticipated schedule or consistent with the study protocol and good clinical
practices or other third-party organizations do not perform data collection and analysis in a timely or accurate manner;
 
 
 
 
●
third-party clinical investigators engage in activities that, even if not directly associated with our studies, result in their debarment, loss of licensure, or other legal or
regulatory sanction;
 
 
 
 
●
regulatory inspections of manufacturing facilities, which may, among other things, require us to undertake corrective action or suspend the preclinical or clinical
studies;
 
 
 
 
●
changes in governmental regulations or administrative actions;
 
 
 
 
●
the interim results of the preclinical or clinical study, if any, are inconclusive or negative; and
 
 
 
 
●
the study design, although approved and completed, is inadequate to demonstrate effectiveness and safety.
 
If the preclinical and clinical studies that we are required to conduct to gain regulatory approval are delayed or unsuccessful, we may not be able to market any product that we
develop in the future. Preclinical studies and clinical trials are expensive and difficult to design and implement and any delays or prolongment in our preclinical and clinical
studies will require additional capital. There is no assurance that we will be able to acquire additional capital to support our studies. The failure to obtain additional capital
would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
We have completed one clinical trial of our product. The results of additional clinical studies may not support the usefulness of our technology.
 
In November 2019, we commenced our first clinical study with PURE EP and completed the clinical trial as of September 2021. Conducting clinical trials is a long, expensive,
and uncertain process that is subject to delays and failure at any stage. Clinical trials can take months or years. The commencement or completion of any of our subsequent
clinical trials may be delayed or halted for numerous reasons, including:
 
 
●
the FDA may not approve a clinical trial protocol or a clinical trial, or may place a clinical trial on hold;
 
 
 
 
●
subjects may not enroll in clinical trials at the rate we expect, or we may not follow up on subjects at the rate we expect;
 
 
 
 
●
subjects may experience unexpected adverse events;
 
26

 
  
 
●
third-party clinical investigators may not perform our clinical trials consistent with our anticipated schedule or the clinical trial protocols and good clinical practices, or
other third-party organizations may not perform data collection and analysis in a timely or accurate manner;
 
 
 
 
●
interim results of any of our clinical trials may be inconclusive or negative;
 
 
 
 
●
regulatory inspections of our clinical trials may require us to undertake corrective action or suspend or terminate the clinical trials if investigators find us to be in
violation of regulatory requirements; or
 
 
 
 
●
governmental regulations or administrative actions may change and impose new requirements, particularly with respect to reimbursement.
 
Results of pre-clinical studies do not necessarily predict future clinical trial results and previous clinical trial results may not be repeated in subsequent clinical trials. We may
experience delays, cost overruns and project terminations despite achieving promising results in pre-clinical testing or early clinical testing. In addition, the data obtained from
clinical trials may be inadequate to support a device’s approval or clearance, or to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the extent required to obtain third-party coverage and/or
reimbursement. The FDA may disagree with our interpretation of the data from our clinical trials, or may find the clinical trial design, conduct, or results inadequate to
demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the product candidate. The FDA may also require additional pre-clinical studies or clinical trials that could further delay clearance or
approval of any product candidates we may develop in the future and/or the PURE EP to the extent we seek clearance/approval for different indications than that for which it is
currently cleared. If we are unsuccessful in receiving FDA clearance approval of a future product candidate, or a product’s clearance or approval is withdrawn, we would not be
able to commercialize the product(s) in the U.S., which could seriously harm our business. Moreover, we face similar risks in other jurisdictions in which we may sell or
propose to sell our products.
 
The medical device industry is subject to stringent regulation and failure to obtain regulatory approval will prevent commercialization of our products.
 
Medical devices are subject to extensive and rigorous regulation by the FDA pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, by comparable agencies in foreign
countries and by other regulatory agencies and governing bodies. Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and associated regulations, manufacturers of medical
devices must comply with certain regulations that cover the composition, labeling, testing, clinical study, manufacturing, packaging and distribution of medical devices. In
addition, medical devices must receive FDA clearance or approval before they can be commercially marketed in the U.S., and the FDA may require testing and surveillance
programs to monitor the effects of approved products that have been commercialized and can prevent or limit further marketing of a product based on the results of these post-
market evaluation programs. The process of obtaining marketing clearance or approval from the FDA for new products could take a significant period of time, require the
expenditure of substantial resources, involve rigorous pre-clinical and clinical testing, require changes to the products and result in limitations on the indicated uses of the
product. In addition, if we seek regulatory approval in non-U.S. markets, we will be subject to further regulatory approvals that may require additional costs and resources.
There is no assurance that we will obtain necessary regulatory approvals in a timely manner, or at all.
 
To obtain 510(k) clearance for a medical device, a pre-market notification must be submitted to the FDA demonstrating that the device is “substantially equivalent” to a
previously cleared “predicate” device. A new device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device “at least as safe and effective” as the predicate. The FDA considers a
device substantially equivalent to a predicate if it has the same intended use as the predicate and has either: (i) the same technological characteristics as the predicate or (ii)
different technological characteristics from the predicate, but the information submitted to the FDA does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness or demonstrates that
the device is at least as safe and effective as the predicate.
 
27

 
 
We received 510(k) clearance to market our current lead product, the PURE EP in the U.S. However, if we intend to market the PURE EP for additional medical uses or
indications, we may need to submit additional 510(k) applications to the FDA that are supported by satisfactory clinical trial results specifically for the additional indication.
Clinical trials necessary to support 510(k) clearance or PMA approval for any future product candidates, or any new indications for use for our PURE EP, would be expensive
and could require the enrollment of large numbers of suitable patients who could be difficult to identify and recruit. Delays or failures in any necessary clinical trials could
prevent us from commercializing any modified product or new product candidate and could adversely affect our business, operating results and prospects.
 
The results of our initial clinical trials may not provide sufficient evidence to allow the FDA to grant us such additional marketing clearances and even additional trials
requested by the FDA may not result in our obtaining 510(k) marketing clearance for our product. The failure to obtain FDA marketing clearance for any additional indications
for the PURE EP or any other of our future products would have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
We, and our third-party manufacturer(s), are, and will be, subject to extensive regulation by the FDA.
 
In addition to the pre-market regulations, once a device is approved or cleared for the applicable indications for use, numerous FDA regulations apply, including but not limited
to those relating to manufacturing, labeling, packaging, advertising, and record keeping. Notably, these regulations apply to us, as well as our contract manufacturer(s). Even if
regulatory approval or clearance of a product is obtained, the approval or clearance may be subject to limitations on the uses for which the product may be marketed or contain
requirements for costly post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. Any such requirements could reduce our revenues, increase our
expenses, and render the product not commercially viable. If we fail to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements, or if previously unknown problems with any
approved commercial products, manufacturers, or manufacturing processes are discovered, we could be subject to administrative or judicially imposed sanctions or other
negative consequences, including:
 
 
●
restrictions on our products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;
 
 
 
 
●
warning letters and untitled letters;
 
 
 
 
●
civil penalties and criminal prosecutions and penalties;
 
 
 
 
●
fines;
 
 
 
 
●
injunctions;
 
 
 
 
●
product seizures or detentions;
 
 
 
 
●
import or export bans or restrictions;
 
 
 
 
●
voluntary or mandatory product recalls and related publicity requirements;
 
 
 
 
●
suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals;
 
 
 
 
●
total or partial suspension of production; and
 
 
 
 
●
refusal to approve pending applications for marketing approval of new products or of supplements to approved applications.
 
28

 
 
Regulations are constantly changing, and in the future our business may be subject to additional regulations that increase our compliance costs.
 
We believe we understand the current laws and regulations to which our products will be subject in the future. However, federal, state and foreign laws and regulations relating
to the sale of our products are subject to future changes, as are administrative interpretations of regulatory agencies. If we fail to comply with such federal, state or foreign laws
or regulations, we may fail to obtain regulatory approval for our products and, if we have already obtained regulatory approval, we could be subject to enforcement actions,
including injunctions preventing us from conducting our business, withdrawal of clearances or approvals and civil and criminal penalties. In the event that federal, state, and
foreign laws and regulations change, we may incur additional costs to seek government approvals, in addition to the clearance from the FDA in order to sell or market our
products. If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing regulatory requirements or the promulgation of new regulatory requirements or policies, we or our licensees
may, following approval, lose marketing approval for our products which will impact our ability to conduct business in the future.
 
The market for our technology and revenue generation avenues for our products may be slow to develop, if at all.
 
The market for our products may be slower to develop or smaller than estimated or it may be more difficult to build the market than anticipated. The medical community may
resist our products or be slower to accept them than we anticipate. Revenues from our products may be delayed or costs may be higher than anticipated which may result in our
need for additional funding. We anticipate that our principal route to market will be through commercial distribution partners. These arrangements are generally non-exclusive
and have no guaranteed sales volumes or commitments. The partners may be slower to sell our products than anticipated. Any financial, operational or regulatory risks that
affect our partners could also affect the sales of our products. In the current economic environment, hospitals and clinical purchasing budgets may exercise greater restraint with
respect to purchases, which may result in purchasing decisions being delayed or denied. If any of these situations were to occur this could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.
 
Our estimate of the size of our addressable market may prove to be inaccurate.
 
While our addressable market size estimate for the EP market was made in good faith and is based on assumptions and estimates we believe to be reasonable, this estimate may
not be accurate. If our estimates of the size of our addressable market are not accurate, our potential for future growth may be less than we currently anticipate, which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
If we seek to market our products in foreign jurisdictions, we may need to obtain regulatory approval in these jurisdictions.
 
In order to market our products in the European Union and many other foreign jurisdictions, we may need to obtain separate regulatory approvals and comply with numerous
and varying regulatory requirements. Approval procedures vary among countries (except with respect to the countries that are part of the European Economic Area) and can
involve additional clinical testing. The time required to obtain approval may differ from that required to obtain FDA approval. Should we decide to market our products abroad,
we may fail to obtain foreign regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at all. Approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries, and
approval by one foreign regulatory authority, including obtaining CE Mark approval, does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other foreign countries or by the
FDA. We may be unable to file for, and may not receive, necessary regulatory approvals to commercialize our products in any foreign market, which could adversely affect our
business prospects. In addition, a new Medical Device Regulation was published in 2017, which includes additional premarket and post-market requirements, as well as
potential product reclassifications or more stringent commercialization requirements that could delay or otherwise adversely affect our clearances and approvals.
 
The EP market is highly competitive.
 
There are a number of groups and organizations, such as healthcare, medical device and software companies in the EP market that may develop a competitive offering to our
products. The largest companies in the EP market are GE, Johnson & Johnson, Boston Scientific, Siemens, Medtronic, and Abbott. All of these companies have significantly
greater resources, experience and name recognition than we possess. There is no assurance that they will not attempt to develop similar or superior products, that they will not
be successful in developing such products or that any products they may develop will not have a competitive advantage over our products. Moreover, our product may not be
viewed as superior to existing technology or new technology from our competitors and as a result we may not be able to justify expected selling price our product, which may
have a material adverse effect on market acceptance of our product. In addition, if we experience delayed regulatory approvals or disputed clinical claims, we may not have a
commercial or clinical advantage over competitors’ products that we believe we currently possess. Should a superior offering come to market, this could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.
 
29

 
 
We rely on key officers, consultants and scientific and medical advisors, and their knowledge of our business and technical expertise would be difficult to replace.
 
We are highly dependent on our officers, consultants and scientific and medical advisors because of their expertise and experience in medical device development. We do not
have “key person” life insurance policies for any of our officers. Moreover, if we are unable to obtain additional funding, we will be unable to meet our current and future
compensation obligations to such employees and consultants. In light of the foregoing, we are at risk that one or more of our consultants or employees may leave our company
for other opportunities where there is no concern about such employers fulfilling their compensation obligations, or for other reasons. The loss of the technical knowledge and
management and industry expertise of any of our key personnel could result in delays in product development, loss of customers and sales and diversion of management
resources, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
 
We may fail to attract and retain qualified personnel.
 
We expect to rapidly expand our operations and grow our sales, research and development and administrative operations. This expansion is expected to place a significant strain
on our management and will require hiring a significant number of qualified personnel. Accordingly, recruiting and retaining such personnel in the future will be critical to our
success. There is intense competition from other companies, research and academic institutions, government entities and other organizations for qualified personnel in the areas
of our activities. Many of these companies, institutions and organizations have greater resources than we do, along with more prestige associated with their names. If we fail to
identify, attract, retain and motivate these highly skilled personnel, we may be unable to continue our marketing and development activities, and this could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.
 
If we do not effectively manage changes in our business, these changes could place a significant strain on our management and operations.
 
Our ability to grow successfully requires an effective planning and management process. The expansion and growth of our business could place a significant strain on our
management systems, infrastructure and other resources. To manage our growth successfully, we must continue to improve and expand our systems and infrastructure in a
timely and efficient manner. Our controls, systems, procedures and resources may not be adequate to support a changing and growing company. If our management fails to
respond effectively to changes and growth in our business, including acquisitions, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and future prospects.
 
Our strategic business plan may not produce the intended growth in revenue and operating income.
 
Our strategies ultimately include making significant investments in sales and marketing programs to achieve revenue growth and margin improvement targets. If we do not
achieve the expected benefits from these investments or otherwise fail to execute on our strategic initiatives, we may not achieve the growth improvement we are targeting and
our results of operations may be adversely affected. We may also fail to secure the capital necessary to make these investments, which will hinder our growth.
 
In addition, as part of our strategy for growth, we may make acquisitions and enter into strategic alliances such as joint ventures and joint development agreements. However,
we may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions or integrate acquisitions successfully, and our strategic alliances may not prove to be
successful. In this regard, acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the integration of the operations, technologies, services and products of the acquired
companies and the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns. Although we will endeavour to evaluate the risks inherent in any particular transaction,
there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain all such risks. In addition, acquisitions could result in the incurrence of substantial additional indebtedness and other
expenses or in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities. There can be no assurance that difficulties encountered with acquisitions will not have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
30

 
 
We currently have limited sales, marketing or distribution operations and will need to expand our expertise in these areas.
 
We currently have limited sales, marketing or distribution operations. We have begun implementing a market development program and are in the process of building such
operations in connection with the commercialization of PURE EP, and we are expanding our expertise in sales, marketing and distribution operations for commercial growth.
To increase internal sales, distribution and marketing expertise and be able to conduct these operations, we have begun to invest in and will have to invest significant amounts
of financial and management resources. In developing these functions ourselves, we could face a number of risks, including:
 
 
●
we may not be able to attract and build an effective marketing or sales force;
 
 
 
 
●
the cost of establishing, training and providing regulatory oversight for a marketing or sales force may be substantial; and
 
 
 
 
●
there are significant legal and regulatory risks in medical device marketing and sales that we have never faced, and any failure to comply with applicable legal and
regulatory requirements for sales, marketing and distribution could result in an enforcement action by the FDA, European regulators or other authorities that could
jeopardize our ability to market our planned products or could subject us to substantial liability.
 
Our product development program depends upon third-party researchers, including Mayo Clinic, who are outside our control and whose negative performance could
materially hinder or delay our pre-clinical testing or clinical trials.
 
We do not have the ability to conduct all aspects of pre-clinical testing or clinical trials ourselves. We depend upon independent investigators and collaborators, such as
commercial third-parties, government, universities and medical institutions, to conduct our pre-clinical and clinical trials under agreements with us. For our first clinical trial for
the PURE EP, titled “Novel Cardiac Signal Processing System for Electrophysiology Procedures (PURE EP 2.0 Study)” which commenced in November 2019, we rely on third
parties, including TCARF and Mayo Clinic to conduct the patient cases. In addition, we are party to various license agreements with Mayo, pursuant to which we rely on
research and development information, materials, technical data, unpatented inventions, trade secrets, know-how and supportive information of Mayo to develop, make, have
made, use, offer for sale, sell, and import licensed products. These collaborators are not our employees and we cannot control the amount or timing of resources that they devote
to our programs. These investigators may not assign as great a priority to our programs or pursue them as diligently as we would if we were undertaking such programs
ourselves. The failure of any of these outside collaborators to perform in an acceptable and timely manner in the future, including in accordance with any applicable regulatory
requirements, such as good clinical and laboratory practices, or pre-clinical testing or clinical trial protocols, could cause a delay or otherwise adversely affect our pre-clinical
testing or clinical trials, our success in obtaining regulatory approvals and, ultimately, the timely advancement of our development programs. In addition, these collaborators
may also have relationships with other commercial entities, some of whom may compete with us. If our collaborators assist our competitors at our expense, our competitive
position would be harmed.
 
If healthcare providers are unable to obtain sufficient reimbursement or other financial incentives from third-party healthcare payers related to the use of our products,
their adoption and our future product sales will be materially adversely affected.
 
Widespread adoption of the PURE EP, and any other products we may develop in the future, by the medical community is unlikely to occur without a financial incentive from
third-party payors for the use of these products. Third-party payors include but are not limited to governmental programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, commercial health
insurers and private payors, workers’ compensation programs, and other organizations. Currently, the PURE EP does not receive separate reimbursement from any third-party
payor. Instead, healthcare providers typically receive reimbursement for the procedure in which our product is used. Future regulatory action by CMS or other governmental
agencies, or unfavorable clinical data, among other things, may impact coverage and/or reimbursement policies for procedures performed using our products. If healthcare
providers are unable to obtain adequate coverage of, or reimbursement for, procedures performed using our products, or if managed care organizations do not receive improved
capitated payments due to more accurate patient risk assessment using our products, we may be unable to sell our products at levels that are sufficient to allow us to achieve and
maintain profitability, and our business would suffer significantly.
 
31

 
 
We may face risks associated with future litigation and claims.
 
We may, in the future, be involved in one or more lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. These suits could concern issues including contract disputes, employment actions,
employee benefits, taxes, environmental, health and safety, personal injury and product liability matters. Due to the uncertainties of litigation, we can give no assurance that we
will prevail on any claims made against us in any such lawsuit. Also, we can give no assurance that any other lawsuits or claims brought in the future will not have an adverse
effect on our financial condition, liquidity or operating results.
 
The risk that we may be sued on product liability claims is inherent in the development and commercialization of medical devices. Specifically, we believe we will be subject to
product liability claims or product recalls, particularly in the event of false positive or false negative reports, because we plan to develop and manufacture medical diagnostic
products. Once a product is approved for sale and commercialized, the likelihood of product liability lawsuits increases. Product liability claims could be asserted directly by
consumers, health-care providers or others. We have obtained product liability insurance coverage; however such insurance may not provide full coverage for our current or
future clinical trials, products to be sold, and other aspects of our business. A product recall or a successful product liability claim or claims that exceed our planned insurance
coverage could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive and we may not be able to maintain current coverage,
or expand our insurance coverage to include future clinical trials or the sale of new products or existing products in new territories, at a reasonable cost or in sufficient amounts
to protect against losses due to product liability or at all. A successful product liability claim or series of claims brought against us could result in judgments, fines, damages and
liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In the event of an award against us during a time when we
have no available insurance or insufficient insurance, we may sustain significant losses of our operating capital. We may incur significant expense investigating and defending
these claims, even if they do not result in liability. Moreover, even if no judgments, fines, damages or liabilities are imposed on us, our reputation could suffer, which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as impair our reputation in the medical and investment communities.
 
Our business is subject to cybersecurity risks.
 
Our operations are increasingly dependent on information technologies and services. Threats to information technology systems associated with cybersecurity risks and cyber
incidents or attacks continue to grow, and include, among other things, storms and natural disasters, terrorist attacks, utility outages, theft, viruses, phishing, malware, design
defects, human error, and complications encountered as existing systems are maintained, repaired, replaced, or upgraded. Risks associated with these threats include, among
other things:
 
 
●
theft or misappropriation of funds;
 
 
 
 
●
loss, corruption, or misappropriation of intellectual property, or other proprietary, confidential or personally identifiable information (including supplier, or employee
data);
 
 
 
 
●
disruption or impairment of our and our business operations and safety procedures;
 
 
 
 
●
damage to our reputation with our potential customers and the market;
 
 
 
 
●
exposure to litigation;
 
 
 
 
●
increased costs to prevent, respond to or mitigate cybersecurity events.
 
Although we utilize various procedures and controls to mitigate our exposure to such risk, cybersecurity attacks and other cyber events are evolving and unpredictable.
Moreover, we have no control over the information technology systems of our suppliers, and others with which our systems may connect and communicate. As a result, the
occurrence of a cyber incident could go unnoticed for a period time.
 
32

 
  
We presently maintain insurance coverage to protect against cybersecurity risks. However, we cannot ensure that it will be sufficient to cover any particular losses we may
experience as a result of such cyberattacks. Any cyber incident could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We may be subject, directly or indirectly, to U.S. federal and state healthcare laws, including fraud and abuse, false claims, and privacy laws and regulations. Prosecutions
under such laws have increased in recent years and we may become subject to such litigation and enforcement. If we are unable to, or have not fully complied with such
laws, we could face substantial penalties.
 
We are subject, directly or indirectly, to various U.S. federal and state healthcare laws and regulations. These laws include fraud and abuse laws, such as the federal Anti-
Kickback Statute, federal False Claims Act, and federal Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. These laws may impact, among other things, our proposed sales, marketing and
education programs. In addition, we may be subject, directly or indirectly, to patient privacy regulations by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our
business. The healthcare laws that may affect our ability to operate include, but are not limited to, the following.
 
 
●
The federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving, or providing remuneration (including any
kickback, bribe, or rebate), directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual, or the
furnishing or arranging for a good or service, for which payment may be made under a federal healthcare program, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
 
 
●
The federal physician self-referral law, commonly referred to as the Stark Law, which prohibits a physician from making a referral for certain designated health
services covered by the Medicare program, if the physician or an immediate family member has a financial relationship with the entity providing the designated health
services, unless the financial relationship falls within an applicable exception to the prohibition.
 
 
●
Federal civil and criminal false claims laws and civil monetary penalty laws, including the False Claims Act, which prohibits persons from knowingly filing, or
causing to be filed, a false claim to, or the knowing use of false statements to obtain payment from, the federal government. Suits may be filed under the federal False
Claims Act by the government or by an individual on behalf of the government (known as “qui tam” actions). Such individuals, commonly known as “relators” or
“whistleblowers,” may share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or settlement.
 
 
●
The federal transparency requirements under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, including the
provision known as the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which requires manufacturers of drugs, biologics, devices and medical supplies covered under Medicare,
Medicaid, or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to record any information related to payments and other transfers of value to physicians and teaching
hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members, and to report this data annually to CMS for
subsequent public disclosure. Manufacturers must also disclose investment interests held by physicians and their family members.
 
 
●
The federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which prohibits, among other things, the offering or transfer of remuneration to a Medicare or state healthcare program
beneficiary if the person knows or should know it is likely to influence the beneficiary’s selection of a particular provider, practitioner, or supplier of services
reimbursable by Medicare or a state healthcare program, unless an exception applies.
 
 
●
Federal criminal statutes created through the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which prohibit knowingly and willfully executing,
or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program or obtain, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, any of
the money or property owned by, or under the custody or control of, any healthcare benefit program, regardless of the payor (e.g., public or private) and knowingly and
willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up by any trick or device a material fact or making any materially false statements in connection with the delivery of, or
payment for, healthcare benefits, items or services relating to healthcare matters.
 
33

 
 
 
●
HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 and their respective implementing regulations, which
imposes requirements on certain covered healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses as well as their respective business associates that perform
services for them that involve the use, or disclosure of, individually identifiable health information, relating to the privacy, security and transmission of individually
identifiable health information.
 
 
●
Other federal and state fraud and abuse laws, prohibitions on self-referral and kickbacks, fee-splitting restrictions, prohibitions on the provision of products at no or
discounted cost to induce physician or patient adoption, and false claims acts, transparency, reporting, and disclosure requirements, which may extend to services
reimbursable by any third-party payer, including private insurers.
 
 
●
State and federal consumer protection and unfair competition laws, which broadly regulate marketplace activities and activities that could potentially harm consumers.
 
Additionally, we may be subject to state equivalents of each of the healthcare laws described above, among others, some of which may be broader in scope and may apply
regardless of the payor. Many U.S. states have adopted laws similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, some of which apply to the referral of patients for healthcare services
reimbursed by any source, not just governmental payors, including private insurers. Several states impose marketing restrictions or require medical device companies to make
marketing or price disclosures to the state. There are ambiguities as to what is required to comply with these state requirements, and if we fail to comply with an applicable state
law requirement, we could be subject to penalties.
 
Because of the breadth of these laws and the narrowness of the statutory exceptions and safe harbors available, it is possible that some of our future business activities could be
subject to challenge under one or more of such laws. In addition, healthcare reform legislation has strengthened these laws. For example, the Affordable Care Act, among other
things, amended the intent requirement of the federal Anti-Kickback and criminal healthcare fraud statutes. As a result of such amendment, a person or entity no longer needs to
have actual knowledge of these statutes or specific intent to violate them in order to have committed a violation. Moreover, the Affordable Care Act provides that the
government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for
purposes of the False Claims Act.
 
Violations of fraud and abuse laws may be punishable by criminal and/or civil sanctions, including penalties, fines and/or exclusion or suspension from federal and state
healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid and debarment from contracting with the U.S. government. In addition, private individuals have the ability to bring actions
on behalf of the U.S. government under the False Claims Act as well as under the false claims laws of several states.
 
Efforts to ensure that our business arrangements with third parties comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations will involve substantial costs. It is possible that
governmental authorities will conclude that our existing or future business practices do not comply with current or future statutes, regulations or case law involving applicable
fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws and regulations. Any such actions instituted against us could have a significant adverse impact on our business, including the
imposition of civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, disgorgement, monetary fines, possible exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other
federal healthcare programs, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, and curtailment of our operations, any of which could adversely
affect our ability to operate our business and our results of operations. Even if we are successful in defending against such actions, we may nonetheless be subject to substantial
costs, reputational harm and adverse effects on our ability to operate our business. In addition, the approval and commercialization of any of our products outside the United
States will also likely subject us to non-U.S. equivalents of the healthcare laws mentioned above, among other non-U.S. laws.

If any of our employees, agents, or the physicians or other providers or entities with whom we do business are found to have violated applicable laws, we may be subject to
criminal, civil or administrative sanctions, including exclusions from government funded healthcare programs, or, if we are not subject to such actions, we may suffer
reputational harm for conducting business with persons or entities found, or accused of being, in violation of such laws. Any such events could adversely affect our ability to
operate our business and our results of operations.
 
In addition, to the extent we commence commercial operations overseas, we will be subject to the federal Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other countries’ anti-
corruption/anti-bribery regimes, such as the U.K. Bribery Act. The federal Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prohibits improper payments or offers of payments to foreign
governments and their officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Safeguards we implement to discourage improper payments or offers of payments by our
employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors may be ineffective, and violations of the federal Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws may result in severe
criminal or civil sanctions, or other liabilities or proceedings against us, any of which would likely harm our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We could be adversely affected if healthcare legislation or reform measures substantially change the market for medical care or healthcare coverage in the U.S., negatively
affecting our business or revenue for PURE EP or future products.
 
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, commonly referred to as the “Healthcare
Reform Law,” includes a number of rules regarding health insurance, the provision of healthcare, conditions to reimbursement for healthcare services provided to Medicare and
Medicaid patients, and other healthcare policy reforms. Through the law-making process, substantial changes have been and continue to be made to the current system for
paying for healthcare in the U.S., including changes made to extend medical benefits to certain Americans who lacked insurance coverage and to contain or reduce healthcare
costs (such as by reducing or conditioning reimbursement amounts for healthcare services and medical devices, and imposing additional taxes, fees, and rebate obligations on
medical device companies). This legislation was one of the most comprehensive and significant reforms ever experienced by the U.S. in the healthcare industry and has
significantly changed the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. This legislation has impacted the scope of healthcare insurance and incentives
for consumers and insurance companies, among others. Additionally, the Healthcare Reform Law’s provisions were designed to encourage providers to find cost savings in their
clinical operations. Medical devices represent a significant portion of the cost of providing care. This environment has caused changes in the purchasing habits of consumers
and providers and resulted in specific attention to the pricing negotiation, product selection and utilization review surrounding medical devices. This attention may result in our
products we may commercialize or promote, including our current commercial products, being chosen less frequently or the pricing being substantially lowered. At this stage, it
is difficult to estimate the full extent of the direct or indirect impact of the Healthcare Reform Law on us.
 
These structural changes could entail further modifications to the existing system of private payors and government programs (such as Medicare, Medicaid, and the State
Children’s Health Insurance Program), creation of government-sponsored healthcare insurance sources, or some combination of both, as well as other changes. Restructuring
the coverage of medical care in the U.S. could impact the reimbursement for medical devices, including our current commercial products, those we and our development or
commercialization partners are currently developing or those that we may commercialize or promote in the future. If reimbursement for our approved medical devices, products
we currently commercialize or promote, or any product we may commercialize or promote is substantially reduced or otherwise adversely affected in the future, or rebate
obligations associated with them are substantially increased, it could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
Extending medical benefits to those who currently lack coverage will likely result in substantial costs to the U.S. federal government, which may force significant additional
changes to the healthcare system in the U.S. Much of the funding for expanded healthcare coverage may be sought through cost savings. While some of these savings may
come from realizing greater efficiencies in delivering care, improving the effectiveness of preventive care and enhancing the overall quality of care, much of the cost savings
may come from reducing the cost of care and increased enforcement activities. Cost of care could be reduced further by decreasing the level of reimbursement for medical
services or products (including those products currently being developed by us or our development or commercialization partners or any product we may commercialize or
promote, including our current commercial products), or by restricting coverage (and, thereby, utilization) of medical services or products. In either case, a reduction in the
utilization of, or reimbursement for, any medical device or any product we may commercialize or promote, including our current commercial products, or for which we receive
marketing approval in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations.

Further, the healthcare regulatory environment has seen significant changes in recent years and is still in flux. Legislative initiatives to modify, limit, replace, or repeal the
Healthcare Reform Law and judicial challenges have continued for over a decade. However, as of the Supreme Court’s ruling ordering the dismissal of, arguably, the most
promising case challenging the Healthcare Reform Law to-date in June 2021, it appears that the Healthcare Reform Law will remain in-effect in its current form for the
foreseeable future; however, we cannot predict what additional challenges may arise in the future, the outcome thereof, or the impact any such actions may have on our
business. Additionally, the Biden administration has introduced various measures in recent years, focusing on healthcare and medical-product pricing, in particular. It remains to
be seen how these measures will affect our business and there is uncertainty as to what other healthcare programs and regulations may be implemented or changed at the federal
and/or state level in the U.S., but, it is possible that such initiatives could have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain approval and/or successfully commercialize products in
the U.S. in the future. For example, any changes that reduce, or impede the ability of healthcare providers to obtain reimbursement for medical procedures in which the
products we currently, or intend to, commercialize are used, or that reduce medical procedure volumes, could adversely affect our operations and/or future business plans. The
financial impact of U.S. healthcare reform legislation over the next few years will depend on a number of factors, including the policies reflected in implementing regulations
and guidance and changes in sales volumes for medical devices affected by the legislation. From time to time, legislation is drafted, introduced and passed in the U.S. Congress
that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing coverage, reimbursement, pricing, and marketing of medical device products. In addition, third-party payor
coverage and reimbursement policies are often revised or interpreted in ways that may significantly affect our business and our products.
 
As a smaller reporting company, we are subject to scaled disclosure requirements that may make it more challenging for investors to analyze our results of operations and
financial prospects.
 
Currently, we are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. As a “smaller reporting company,” we are able to provide simplified executive
compensation disclosures in our filings and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in our filings with the SEC, including being required to provide only two years
of audited financial statements in annual reports. Consequently, it may be more challenging for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.
 
Furthermore, we are a non-accelerated filer as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and, as such, are not required to provide an auditor attestation of management’s
assessment of internal control over financial reporting, which is generally required for SEC reporting companies under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Because we
are not required to, and have not, had our auditor’s provide an attestation of our management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting, a material weakness in
internal controls may remain undetected for a longer period.
 
Global economic uncertainty and financial market volatility caused by political instability, changes in international trade relationships and conflicts could make it more
difficult for us to access financing and could adversely affect our business and operations.
 
Our ability to raise capital is subject to the risk of adverse changes in the market value of our stock. Periods of macroeconomic weakness or recession and heightened market
volatility caused by adverse geopolitical developments could increase these risks, potentially resulting in adverse impacts on our ability to raise further capital on favorable
terms. The impact of geopolitical tension, such as a deterioration in the bilateral relationship between the U.S. and China or in the ongoing conflicts between Russia and
Ukraine, including resulting sanctions, export controls or other restrictive actions that may be imposed by the U.S. and/or other countries against governmental or other entities
in, for example, Russia, also could lead to disruption, instability and volatility in global trade patterns, which may in turn impact our ability to source necessary reagents, raw
materials and other inputs for our research and development operations. In addition, political developments impacting government spending and international trade, including
changes in trade agreements, potential government shutdowns and trade disputes and tariffs, including tariffs that have been or may in the future be imposed by the United
States or other countries and future legislation or actions taken by the United States or other countries that restrict trade, and protectionist or retaliatory measures taken by the
United States or other countries, may negatively impact markets and cause weaker macroeconomic conditions. Any of the abovementioned factors could affect our business,
prospects, financial condition, and operating results. The extent and duration of any political instability and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict but could be
substantial. Any such disruptions may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section.
 
The U.S. Congress, the Trump administration, or any new administration may make substantial changes to fiscal, tax, and other federal policies that may adversely affect
our business.
 
In 2017, the U.S. Congress and the Trump administration made substantial changes to U.S. policies, which included comprehensive corporate and individual tax reform. In
addition, the Trump administration called for significant changes to U.S. trade, healthcare, immigration and government regulatory policy in President Trump’s second term.
The transitions between the Trump and Biden presidential terms led to substantial changes in the direction and focus of administrative and regulatory policies. Changes to U.S.
policy implemented by the U.S. Congress, the Trump administration or any future administration have impacted and may in the future impact, among other things, the U.S. and
global economy, international trade relations, unemployment, immigration, healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. Although we cannot
predict the impact, if any, of these changes to our business, they could adversely affect our business. Until we know what policy changes are made, whether those policy
changes are challenged and subsequently upheld by the court system and how those changes impact our business and the business of our competitors over the long term, we
will not know if, overall, we will benefit from them or be negatively affected by them.

The Company has concluded that there is a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting, which, if not remediated, could materially adversely affect its
ability to timely and accurately report its results of operations and financial condition. The accuracy of the Company’s financial reporting depends on the effectiveness of
its internal controls over financial reporting.
 
Internal controls over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements and may not prevent
or detect misstatements. Failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, or lapses in disclosure controls and procedures, could undermine the ability to
provide accurate disclosure (including with respect to financial information) on a timely basis, which could cause investors to lose confidence in the Company’s disclosures
(including with respect to financial information), require significant resources to remediate the lapse or deficiency, and expose it to legal or regulatory proceedings.
 
In connection with the audit of its December 31, 2024 financial statements, the Company’s management identified inadequate identification, recording and reporting of stock
based compensation due under consulting or other third-party contracts entered into by the Company, but not yet ratified by the Company’s Board of Directors which resulted
in deficiencies, which, in aggregate, amounted to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Other material weaknesses along with stock-
based compensation identified were the lack of segregation of duties and ineffective review processes over period end financial disclosure and reporting.
 
The Company’s remediation efforts are ongoing and it will continue its initiatives to implement and document policies, procedures, and internal controls. Remediation of the
identified material weakness and strengthening the internal control environment will require a substantial effort throughout 2025 and beyond, as necessary, and the Company
will test the ongoing operating effectiveness of the new and existing controls in future periods. The material weakness cannot be considered completely remediated until the
applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. The Company
cannot guarantee that it will be successful in remediating the material weakness it identified or that its internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable it to
identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future.
 
The Company cannot guarantee that its management will be successful in identifying and retaining appropriate personnel; that newly engaged staff or outside consultants will
be successful in identifying material weaknesses in the future; or that appropriate personnel will be identified and retained prior to these deficiencies resulting in material and
adverse effects on the Company’s business.
 
There are inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
The ongoing internal control provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require us to identify material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting,
which is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our internal controls and disclosure
controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the
objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefit of controls must be
relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of
fraud, if any, in our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can
occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Further, controls can be circumvented by individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more persons, or by management
override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may be inadequate because of changes in conditions, such as
growth of the company or increased transaction volume, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-
effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
In addition, discovery and disclosure of a material weakness, by definition, could have a material adverse impact on our financial statements. Such an occurrence could
discourage certain customers or suppliers from doing business with us and adversely affect how our stock trades. This could in turn negatively affect our ability to access equity
markets for capital.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
 
If we do not obtain protection for our intellectual property rights, our competitors may be able to take advantage of our research and development efforts to develop
competing products.
 
We intend to rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets, and nondisclosure and non-competition agreements to protect our proprietary intellectual property. Our owned
patent portfolio now includes 41 issued/allowed utility patents (29 utility patents where BioSig is at least one of the applicants). Thirty one additional U.S. and foreign utility
patent applications are pending covering various aspects of our PURE EP System for recording, measuring, calculating and displaying of electrocardiograms during cardiac
ablation procedures (31 U.S. and foreign utility patent applications where either BioSig, Mayo, or both is at least one of the applicants). We also have one U.S. patent and one
U.S. Pending application directed to artificial intelligence (AI). We also have 30 issued worldwide design patents, which cover various features of our display screens and
graphical user interface for enhanced visualization of biomedical signals (30 design patents where BioSig is at least one of the applicants). Finally, we have licenses to 12
(issued/allowed) patents and 9 additional worldwide utility patent applications from Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research that are pending (12 issued/allowed
patents and 9 applications where only Mayo is the applicant). These patents and applications are generally directed to electroporation and stimulation.
 
We plan to file additional patent applications in the U.S. and in other countries as we deem appropriate for our products. Our applications have and will include claims intended
to provide market exclusivity for certain commercial aspects of the products, including the methods of production, the methods of usage and the commercial packaging of the
products. However, we cannot predict:
 
 
●
the degree and range of protection any patents will afford us against competitors, including whether third parties will find ways to invalidate or otherwise circumvent
our patents;
 
 
●
if and when such patents will be issued, and, if granted, whether patents will be challenged and held invalid or unenforceable;
 
 
●
whether or not others will obtain patents claiming aspects similar to those covered by our patents and patent applications; or
 
 
●
whether we will need to initiate litigation or administrative proceedings which may be costly regardless of outcome.
 
Furthermore, the issuance of a patent, while presumed valid and enforceable, is not conclusive as to its validity or its enforceability and it may not provide us with adequate
proprietary protection or competitive advantages against competitors with similar products. Competitors may also be able to design around our patents. Other parties may
develop and obtain patent protection for more effective technologies, designs or methods. We may not be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our technical
knowledge or trade secrets by consultants, vendors, former employees and current employees.
 
Patent rights are territorial, and patent protection extends only to those countries where we have issued patents. Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on our products and
product candidates in all countries and jurisdictions throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and our intellectual property rights in some countries outside the
United States could be less extensive than those in the United States. Many countries, however, do not protect intellectual property to the same extent as the U.S. or Europe, and
their litigation processes differ. Competitors may successfully challenge or avoid our patents, or manufacture products in countries where we have not applied for patent
protection. Changes in the patent laws in the U.S. or other countries may diminish the value of our patent rights. As a result of these and other factors, the scope, validity,
enforceability, and commercial value of our patent rights are uncertain and unpredictable.
 
Indeed, several companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of some
countries do not favor the enforcement of patents and other intellectual property rights, which could make it difficult for BioSig to stop the infringement, misappropriation or
other violation of BioSig’s intellectual property rights generally. Proceedings to enforce BioSig’s intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial
costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of BioSig’s business, could put BioSig’s patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and BioSig’s
patent applications at risk of not issuing and could provoke third parties to assert claims against BioSig. BioSig may not prevail in any lawsuits that it initiates, and the damages
or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful.
 
38

 
 
The patent positions of medical device companies, including our patent position, involve complex legal and factual questions, and, therefore, the issuance, scope, validity and
enforceability of any patent claims that we may obtain cannot be predicted with certainty. Patents, if issued, may be challenged, deemed unenforceable, invalidated, or
circumvented. A third-party may submit prior art, or we may become involved in opposition, derivation, reexamination, inter partes review, post-grant review, supplemental
examination, or interference proceedings challenging our patent rights or the patent rights of our licensors or development partners. The costs of defending or enforcing our
proprietary rights in these proceedings can be substantial, and the outcome can be uncertain. An adverse determination in any such submission or proceeding could reduce the
scope of, or invalidate, our patent rights, allow third parties to commercialize our technology or products and compete directly with us, or reduce our ability to manufacture or
commercialize products. Furthermore, if the scope or strength of protection provided by our patents and patent applications is threatened, it could discourage companies from
collaborating with us to license, develop or commercialize current or future products. The ownership of our proprietary rights could also be challenged.
 
Furthermore, our ability to enforce our patent rights depends on our ability to detect infringement. It is difficult to detect infringers who do not advertise the components that
are used in their products. Moreover, it may be difficult or impossible to obtain evidence of infringement in a competitor’s or potential competitor’s product, particularly in
litigation in countries other than the U.S. that do not provide an extensive discovery procedure. Any litigation to enforce or defend our patent rights, if any, even if we were to
prevail, could be costly and time-consuming and would divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. We may not prevail in any
lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other remedies awarded if we were to prevail may not be commercially meaningful.
 
Our success also depends upon the skills, knowledge and experience of our scientific and technical personnel, our consultants and advisors as well as our licensors and
contractors. To help protect our proprietary know-how and our inventions for which patents may be unobtainable or difficult to obtain, we rely on trade secret protection and
confidentiality agreements. To this end, it is our policy to require all of our employees, consultants, advisors and contractors to enter into agreements which prohibit the
disclosure of confidential information and, where applicable, require disclosure and assignment to us of the ideas, developments, discoveries and inventions important to our
business. These agreements may not provide adequate protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or
disclosure or the lawful development by others of such information. If any of our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information is disclosed, the value of our trade
secrets, know-how and other proprietary rights would be significantly impaired and our business and competitive position would suffer.
 
Given the fact that we may pose a competitive threat, competitors, especially large and well-capitalized companies that own or control patents relating to electrophysiology
recording systems, may successfully challenge our current and planned patent applications, produce similar products or products that do not infringe our future patents, or
produce products in countries where we have not applied for patent protection or that do not respect our patents.
 
If any of these events occurs, or we otherwise lose protection for our trade secrets or proprietary know-how, the value of our intellectual property may be greatly reduced.
Patent protection and other intellectual property protection are important to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that such protections will
prove inadequate.
 
If we infringe upon the rights of third parties, we could be prevented from selling products and forced to pay damages and defend against litigation.
 
Our commercial success also depends upon our ability, and the ability of any third party with which we may partner, to develop, manufacture, market and sell our products, if
approved, and use our patent-protected technologies without infringing the patents of third parties. We may not have identified all patents, published applications or published
literature that affect our business by blocking our ability to commercialize our products, by preventing the patentability of one or more aspects of our products to us or our
licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that may affect our ability to market our products. For example, we (or the licensor of a product to us) may not have
conducted a patent clearance search sufficient to identify potentially obstructing third party patent rights. Moreover, patent applications in the United States are maintained in
confidence for up to 18 months after their filing. In some cases, however, patent applications remain confidential in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO, for
the entire time prior to issuance as a U.S. patent. Patent applications filed in countries outside of the United States are not typically published until at least 18 months from their
first filing date. Similarly, publication of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature often lags behind actual discoveries. We cannot be certain that we or our licensors were
the first to invent, or the first to file, patent applications covering our products. We also may not know if our competitors filed patent applications for technology covered by our
pending applications or if we were the first to invent the technology that is the subject of our patent applications. Competitors may have filed patent applications or received
patents and may obtain additional patents and proprietary rights that block or compete with our patents.
 
39

 
 
If our products, methods, processes and other technologies infringe the proprietary rights of other parties, we could incur substantial costs and we may be required to:
 
 
●
obtain licenses, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all;
 
 
●
abandon an infringing product candidate;
 
 
●
redesign our product candidates or processes to avoid infringement;
 
 
●
cease usage of the subject matter claimed in the patents held by others;
 
 
●
pay damages; and/or
 
 
●
defend litigation or administrative proceedings which may be costly regardless of outcome, and which could result in a substantial diversion of our financial and
management resources.
 
We may not have sufficient resources to bring these actions to a successful conclusion. Any of these events could substantially harm our earnings, financial condition and
operations.
 
We depend on our collaboration with Mayo Clinic for the research and development of additional advanced features of PURE EP. If this collaboration is not successful, we
may not be able to realize the market potential of such features and may not have rights to use any such developed advanced features. 
 
On March 15, 2017, we entered into a know-how license agreement with Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“Mayo Clinic”), effective December 2, 2016,
and as amended whereby we were granted an exclusive license, with the right to sublicense, certain know how and patent applications in the fields of signal processing,
physiologic recording, electrophysiology recording, electrophysiology software and autonomics to develop, make and offer for sale. The agreement expires ten years from the
effective date. In furtherance of this collaboration, we subsequently entered into four additional agreements whereby we were granted exclusive licenses, with the right to
sublicense additional Mayo Clinic patents and know-how. Pursuant to these agreements, Mayo Clinic retains ownership of the licensed intellectual property and any developed
intellectual property. Mayo Clinic also retains the right to prosecute and enforce the developed intellectual property. If our agreements with Mayo Clinic terminate, our access
to technology and intellectual property licensed to us by Mayo Clinic may be restricted or terminate entirely, which may delay our continued development of such advanced
features utilizing the Mayo Clinic’s technology or intellectual property or require us to stop development of those product candidates completely. Additional risks posed by this
collaboration include:
 
 
●
Mayo Clinic may not properly obtain, maintain, enforce, or defend intellectual property or proprietary rights relating to our advanced features or may use our
proprietary information in such a way as to expose us to potential litigation or other intellectual property related proceedings, including proceedings challenging the
scope, ownership, validity, and enforceability of our intellectual property;
 
 
●
Mayo Clinic may own or co-own intellectual property covering our advanced features that results from our collaboration with them, and in such cases, we may not
have the exclusive right or any right to commercialize such intellectual property or such product candidates or research programs; or
 
 
●
We may be prevented from enforcing or defending any intellectual property that we contribute to or that arises out of the collaboration, if Mayo Clinic refuses to
cooperate with such action.
 
40

 
 
Our collaboration with Mayo Clinic is made subject to the rights of the U.S. government to the extent that the technology covered by the licensed intellectual property was
developed under a funding agreement between Mayo Clinic and the U.S. government. Additionally, to the extent there is any conflict between our agreements with Mayo Clinic
and applicable laws or regulations, applicable laws and regulations will prevail. Some, and possibly all, of the developed intellectual property rights relating to our advanced
features may have been developed in the course of research funded by the U.S. government. As a result, the U.S. government may have certain rights to intellectual property
embodied in our current or future products pursuant to the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980. Government rights in certain inventions developed under a government-funded program
include a nonexclusive, non-transferable, irrevocable worldwide license to use inventions for any governmental purpose. In addition, the U.S. government has the right to
require us, or an assignee or exclusive licensee to such inventions, to grant licenses to any of these inventions to a third party if the U.S. government determines that adequate
steps have not been taken to commercialize the invention, that government action is necessary to meet public health or safety needs, that government action is necessary to meet
requirements for public use under federal regulations, or that the right to use or sell such inventions is exclusively licensed to an entity within the U.S. and substantially
manufactured outside the U.S. without the U.S. government’s prior approval. Additionally, we may be restricted from granting exclusive licenses for the right to use or sell our
inventions created pursuant to such agreements unless the licensee agrees to additional restrictions (e.g., manufacturing substantially all of the invention in the U.S.). The U.S.
government also has the right to take title to these inventions if we fail to disclose the invention to the government and fail to file an application to register the intellectual
property within specified time limits. In addition, the U.S. government may acquire title in any country in which a patent application is not filed within specified time limits.
Additionally, certain inventions are subject to transfer restrictions during the term of these agreements and for a period, thereafter, including sales of products or components,
transfers to foreign subsidiaries for the purpose of the relevant agreements, and transfers to certain foreign third parties. If any of our intellectual property becomes subject to
any of the rights or remedies available to the U.S. government or third parties pursuant to the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, this could impair the value of our intellectual property
and could adversely affect our business. The U.S. government has not exercised any of these rights or provided us with any notice of its intent to exercise any of these rights
with respect to any of the intellectual property licensed to us by Mayo Clinic. We are not aware of any instance in which the U.S. government has ever exercised any such rights
with respect to any technologies or other intellectual property developed under funding agreements with the U.S. government.
 
If we fail to comply with our obligations under our license agreements, we could lose the rights to intellectual property that is important to our business. 
 
Our current license agreements impose on us various development obligations, payment of royalties and fees based on achieving certain milestones as well as other obligations.
If we fail to comply with our obligations under these agreements, the licensor may have the right to terminate the license. In addition, if the licensor fails to enforce its
intellectual property, the licensed rights may not be adequately maintained. The termination of any license agreements or failure to adequately protect such license agreements
could prevent us from commercializing our products or possible future products covered by the licensed intellectual property. Any of these events could materially adversely
affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operation.
 
We may be subject to damages resulting from claims that we or our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.
 
Our employees may have been previously employed at other companies in the industry, including our competitors or potential competitors. Although we are not aware of any
claims currently pending against us, we may be subject to claims that these employees or we have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary
information of the former employers of our employees. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims,
litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management. If we fail in defending such claims, in addition to paying money claims, we may lose valuable
intellectual property rights or personnel. A loss of key personnel or their work product could hamper or prevent our ability to commercialize product(s), which would materially
adversely affect our commercial development efforts.

Obtaining and maintaining patent protection depends on compliance with various procedures and other requirements, and our patent protection could be reduced or
eliminated in case of non-compliance with these requirements.
 
Periodic maintenance fees, renewal fees, annuity fees and various other governmental fees on patents and/or applications will be due to the relevant patent agencies in several
stages over the lifetime of the patents and /or applications. The relevant patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other
provisions during the patent application process. In many cases, an inadvertent lapse can be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable
rules. However, there are situations in which the failure to comply with the relevant requirements can result in the abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application,
resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. In such an event, our competitors might be able to use our technologies and know-how which
could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operation.
 
Risks Related to our Common Stock
 
The market price for our common stock may fluctuate significantly, which could result in substantial losses by our investors.
 
The stock market in general, and Nasdaq in particular, as well as biotechnology companies, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been
unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of small companies. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous
factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as:
 
 
●
announcements of technological innovations, new products or product enhancements by us or others;
 
 
●
actual or anticipated quarterly increases or decreases in revenue, gross margin or earnings, and changes in our business, operations or prospects;
 
 
●
announcements of significant strategic partnerships, out-licensing, in-licensing, joint ventures, acquisitions or capital commitments by us or our competitors;
 
 
●
conditions or trends in the biotechnology industry;
 
 
●
changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other biotechnology companies;
 
 
●
general market conditions or domestic or international macroeconomic and geopolitical factors unrelated to our performance or financial condition;
 
 
●
purchase or sale of our common stock by stockholders, including executives and directors;
 
 
●
volatility and limitations in trading volumes of our common stock;
 
 
●
changes in our capital structure or dividend policy, future issuances of securities, sales or distributions of large blocks of our common stock by stockholders;
 
 
●
our cash position;
 
 
●
announcements and events surrounding financing efforts, including debt and equity securities;
 
 
●
changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by security analysts, if our common stock is covered by analysts;
 
 
●
the addition or departure of key personnel;
 
 
●
disputes and litigation related to intellectual property rights, proprietary rights, and contractual obligations;
 
 
●
changes in applicable laws, rules, regulations, or accounting practices and other dynamics; and
 
 
●
other events or factors, many of which may be out of our control.
 
42

 
 
These factors and any corresponding price fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock and result in substantial losses by our
investors.
 
Further, the stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in the past. Continued
market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility in the price of our common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our common stock.
 
Price volatility of our common stock might be worse if the trading volume of our common stock is low. In the past, following periods of market volatility, stockholders have
often instituted securities class action litigation. If we were involved in securities litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert resources and attention of management
from our business, even if we are successful. Future sales of our common stock could also reduce the market price of such stock.
 
Moreover, the liquidity of our common stock is limited, not only in terms of the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a given price, but by delays in the timing of
transactions and reduction in security analysts’ and the media’s coverage of us, if any. These factors may result in lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise be
obtained and could also result in a larger spread between the bid and ask prices for our common stock. In addition, without a large float, our common stock is less liquid than
the stock of companies with broader public ownership and, as a result, the trading prices of our common stock may be more volatile. In the absence of an active public trading
market, an investor may be unable to liquidate its investment in our common stock. Trading of a relatively small volume of our common stock may have a greater impact on the
trading price of our stock than would be the case if our public float were larger. We cannot predict the prices at which our common stock will trade in the future.
 
Although our shares of common stock are now listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we currently have a limited trading volume, which results in higher price volatility for,
and reduced liquidity of, our common stock.
 
Although our shares of common stock are now listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BSGM,” trading volume in our common stock has been limited and an
active trading market for our shares of common stock may never develop or be maintained. The absence of an active trading market increases price volatility and reduces the
liquidity of our common stock. As long as this condition continues, the sale of a significant number of shares of common stock at any particular time could be difficult to
achieve at the market prices prevailing immediately before such shares are offered.
 
Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in a delisting of our common stock, which could negatively impact the market price and
liquidity of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets.
 
Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, such as the minimum bid price, shareholders’
equity, public float and other requirements, Nasdaq may take steps to delist our common stock. Such a delisting would have a negative effect on the price of our common stock,
impair the ability to sell or purchase our common stock when persons wish to do so, and any delisting materially adversely affect our ability to raise capital or pursue strategic
restructuring, refinancing or other transactions on acceptable terms, or at all. Delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market could also have other negative results, including the
potential loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities. In the event of a delisting, we would attempt to take actions to restore our
compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our common stock to become listed again,
stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement or
prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements.

On March 5, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff stating that the Company had not regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the Company’s
common stock did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and the Company is not eligible for a second
180 day cure period under Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(2) because the Company does not comply with the $5,000,000 minimum stockholders’ equity initial listing requirement for
Nasdaq, and that accordingly, Nasdaq would delist the Company’s common stock unless the Company requested an appeal of this determination. On March 11, 2024, the
Company submitted a request for a hearing before Hearings Panel to appeal the delisting determination.
 
On March 12, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff stating that based upon the Staff’s review of the Company and pursuant to Listing Rule 5101, the Staff
believes that the Company no longer has an operating business and is a “public shell,” and that the continued listing of its securities is no longer warranted, in view of work
force reductions and resignations of members of the board of directors and officers. The letter further stated that the Company no longer meets the requirement of Rule 5550(b)
(2) to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities of $35 million, if none of the other standards set forth in Rule 5550(b) is met. The Staff stated that the foregoing
matters serve as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market, and that the Panel will consider this matter in rendering a
determination regarding the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company appealed the foregoing determinations. The requested hearing before the
Panel was held on May 7, 2024.
 
On June 10, 2024, the Company received formal notice that the Panel had determined to delist the Company’s common stock from Nasdaq due to the Company’s continued
non-compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) for continued listing on Nasdaq. As a result, trading in the
Company’s common stock was suspended on Nasdaq effective with the open of business on Wednesday, June 12, 2024. The Company’s common was eligible to trade on the
OTC Markets’ Pink Current Information tier under symbol “BSGM” effective with the open of trading on Wednesday, June 12, 2024. The Company sought the Panel’s
reconsideration in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules
 
On June 24, 2024, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that the Panel had declined to reconsider its decision dated June 10, 2024 to delist the Company’s common stock from
Nasdaq (the “Delisting Decision”). Trading in the Company’s securities remained suspended on Nasdaq effective with the open of business on June 12, 2024, at which point the
Company’s common stock was eligible to trade on the OTC Market’s Pink Current Information tier.
 
On July 10, 2024, the Company filed a submission in support of an appeal to the Listing Council.
 
On July 23, 2024, the Company commenced trading of its common stock on the OTCQB, operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc.
 
On October 18, 2024, the Company was notified by the Staff that the Listing Council had granted the Company an exception through March 7, 2025, to evidence compliance
with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b), namely either the $35 million in market value of listed securities requirement or the alternative requirement of $2.5 million in stockholders’
equity (the “Equity Rule”) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
 
On October 23, 2024, the Company’s common stock resumed trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
 
On October 24, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff notifying the Company that based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock from the
period of June 11, 2024 through the reinstatement date, October 23, 2024, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required by the Listing Rules
and as a result, the Company no longer met this requirement. However, the Listing Rules also provided the Company a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to
regain compliance. Since then, Staff had determined that for the 10 consecutive business days, from October 30, 2024, to November 12, 2024, the closing bid price of the
Company’s common stock was at $1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, the Company regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and this matter closed as of
November 13, 2024.
 
44

 
 
On March 6, 2025, the Company submitted supporting documents to the Listing Council evidencing compliance with the Equity Rule. And on March 24, 2025, the
Company was notified by the Office of General Counsel of Nasdaq that the Company had successfully met the qualifications to regain full compliance for continued listing on
the Nasdaq Capital Market.
 
On April 11, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Staff indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive
business day period between February 27, 2025, through April 10, 2025, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on
Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until
October 8, 2025 (the “Compliance Period”), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s
minimum bid price requirement, the Company’s common stock must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the
Compliance Period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain
compliance. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held shares and all other initial listing
standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second
compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, the Company may be granted an additional 180 calendar days to
regain compliance. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will be unable to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is not otherwise eligible for the additional cure
period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The letter has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common
stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other listing requirements of Nasdaq. At that time, the Company
may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance that,
if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the panel, such appeal would be successful.
 
Delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market could negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise additional financing to fund future operations.
 
We may need to seek to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock in order to attempt to comply with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirements, which could occur in
the near term, but requires stockholder approval, of which there can be no assurance. We may be unable to complete a reverse stock split, and even if we do, we may still be
unable to meet the minimum bid price requirement, and we may be unable to meet other applicable Nasdaq listing requirements, including maintaining minimum levels of
stockholders’ equity or market values of our common stock.
 
If our common stock is delisted and we are not able to list our common stock on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities would be quoted on an over-the-
counter market. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained.
 
Future sales of our common stock in the public market or other financings could cause our stock price to fall.
 
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, the perception that these sales might occur or other financings, could depress the market
price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. A substantial majority of the outstanding shares of our
common stock are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act unless these shares are owned or purchased by “affiliates” as that term is
defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition, shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, restricted stock units and shares reserved for
future issuance under our incentive stock plan will be eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by applicable vesting requirements and, in some cases,
subject to compliance with the requirements of Rule 144. As a result, these shares can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to restrictions under the
securities laws.
 
If we sell additional equity or debt securities to fund our operations, it may impose restrictions on our business.
 
In order to raise additional funds to support our operations, we may sell additional equity or debt securities, which may impose restrictive covenants that adversely impact our
business. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed payment obligations and could also result in restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to
incur additional debt, limitations on our ability to acquire, sell or license intellectual property rights and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to
conduct our business. If we are unable to expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities due to such restrictions, our business, financial condition
and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
 
45

 
 
Our stockholders may experience substantial dilution as a result of the exercise of outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, or upon
conversion of our Series C preferred stock into shares of our common stock.
 
As of April 14, 2025, we have outstanding options to purchase 2,515,200 shares of common stock, 1,156,663 restricted stock units and have reserved 4,251,595 shares of our
common stock for further issuances pursuant to our 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan. In addition, as of April 14, 2025, we may be required to issue 546,514 shares of our
common stock for issuance upon conversion of outstanding convertible Series C preferred stock which includes accrued dividends as of April 14, 2025, and 5,589,760 shares of
our common stock for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants. Should all of these shares be issued, you would experience dilution in ownership of our common stock
and the price of our common stock will decrease unless the value of our company increases by a corresponding amount.
 
The interests of our controlling stockholders may not coincide with yours and such controlling stockholders may make decisions with which you may disagree.
 
As of April 14, 2025, two of our stockholders beneficially owned over 21.32% of our common stock. As a result, these stockholders may be able to influence the outcome of
matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, this concentration of ownership may
delay or prevent a change in control of our company and make some future transactions more difficult or impossible without the support of our controlling stockholders. The
interests of our controlling stockholders may not coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders.
 
Delaware law and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws contain anti-takeover provisions that could delay or discourage takeover attempts
that stockholders may consider favorable.
 
Our board of directors is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the voting powers, preferences and other rights and limitations of the
preferred stock. Accordingly, we may issue shares of preferred stock with a preference over our common stock with respect to dividends or distributions on liquidation or
dissolution, or that may otherwise adversely affect the voting or other rights of the holders of common stock. Issuances of preferred stock, depending upon the rights,
preferences and designations of the preferred stock, may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control, even if that change of control might benefit our
stockholders. In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 203 generally prohibits a public Delaware corporation from
engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested
stockholder, unless (i) prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in
the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (ii) the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the
transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding (a) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (b) shares
owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a
tender or exchange offer; or (iii) on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board and authorized at an annual or special
meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested
stockholder.
 
Section 203 could delay or prohibit mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts with respect to us and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us even
though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.

Risks Related to our Series C Preferred Stock
 
Our Series C Preferred Stock contains covenants that could limit our financing options and liquidity position, which would limit our ability to grow our business.
 
Covenants in the certificate of designation for our Series C Preferred Stock impose operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions prohibit or limit our ability to,
among other things:
 
 
●
incur additional indebtedness;
 
 
 
 
●
permit liens on assets;
 
 
 
 
●
repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire more than a de minimis number of shares of capital stock;
 
 
 
 
●
pay cash dividends to our stockholders; and
 
 
 
 
●
engage in transactions with affiliates.
 
As of April 14, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Series C Preferred Stock.
 
These restrictions may limit our ability to obtain financing, withstand downturns in our business or take advantage of business opportunities. Moreover, debt financing we may
seek may contain terms that include more restrictive covenants, may require repayment on an accelerated schedule or may impose other obligations that limit our ability to
grow our business, acquire needed assets, or take other actions we might otherwise consider appropriate or desirable.
 
In addition, the certificate of designation for our Series C Preferred Stock requires us to redeem shares of our Series C Preferred Stock, at each holder’s option and for an
amount greater than their stated value, upon the occurrence of certain events, including our being subject to a judgment of greater than $100,000 or our initiation of bankruptcy
proceedings.
 
The holders of our Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a dividend, which may be increased if we do not comply with certain covenants.
 
The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to a 9% annual dividend on the $1,000 per share stated value of our Series C Preferred Stock, which is payable in cash
or, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, in pay-in-kind shares. The dividend may be increased to a 18% annual dividend if we fail to comply with certain covenants,
including our being subject to a judgment of greater than $100,000 or our initiation of bankruptcy proceedings. As a result of the payment of dividends related to our Series C
Preferred Stock, we may be obligated to pay significant sums of money or issue a significant number of shares of our common stock, which could negatively affect our
operations or result in the dilution of the holders of our common stock, respectively.
 
The terms of our Series C Preferred Stock contain anti-dilution provisions that may result in the reduction of the conversion prices in the future.
 
The terms of our Series C Preferred Stock contain anti-dilution provisions, which provisions require the lowering of the conversion price to the purchase price of future
offerings. If in the future we issue securities for less than the conversion of our Series C Preferred Stock then in effect, we will be required to further reduce the relevant
conversion prices.
 
The terms of our Series C Preferred Stock prohibit us from paying dividends in the future on our common stock. As a result, any return on investment may be limited to the
value of our common stock.
 
The terms of our Series C Preferred Stock prohibit us from paying dividends in the future on our common stock, absent consent from the holders representing a super-majority
of the outstanding shares of our Series C Preferred Stock and a certain investor. Because we will likely not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a
return on an investment in our common stock will only occur if our stock price appreciates.
 
47

 
 
General Risk Factors
 
The liability of our directors and officers is limited.
 
The applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws limit the liability of our directors
to us and our stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duties, with certain exceptions, and for other specified acts or omissions of such persons. In
addition, the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws provide for
indemnification of such persons under certain circumstances. In the event we are required to indemnify any of our directors or any other person, our financial strength may be
harmed.
 
Negative publicity or unfavorable media coverage could damage our reputation and harm our operations.
 
In the event that the marketplace perceives our products as not offering the benefits which we believe they offer, we may receive negative publicity. This publicity may result in
litigation and increased regulation and governmental review. If we were to receive such negative publicity or unfavorable media attention, whether warranted or unwarranted,
our ability to market our products would be adversely affected. We may be required to change our products and services and become subject to increased regulatory burdens,
and we may be required to pay large judgments or fines and incur significant legal expenses. Any combination of these factors could further increase our cost of doing business
and adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could
decline.
 
The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We currently do
not have new research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If we have coverage in the future and any analyst who covers us downgrades our stock or publishes
inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline; or if any analyst ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly,
demand for our stock could decrease, which could cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.
 
We are subject to financial reporting and other requirements that place significant demands on our resources.
 
We are subject to reporting and other obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002. Section 404 requires us to conduct an annual management assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. These reporting and other
obligations place significant demands on our management, administrative, operational, internal audit and accounting resources. Any failure to maintain effective internal
controls could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and stock price. Moreover, effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable
financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an
effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed.
 
ITEM 1B – UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
 
Not applicable.
 
ITEM 1C – CYBERSECURITY
 
To respond to the threat of security breaches and cyberattacks, we have developed a cybersecurity risk management program designed to identify, assess, manage, mitigate, and
respond to cybersecurity threats to all information and systems owned by us. We maintain certain risk management processes intended to identify cybersecurity threats,
determine their likelihood of occurring, and assess potential material impacts to our business. Based on our assessment, we implement and maintain risk management processes
designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our information systems and the information residing therein.
 
Cybersecurity is reviewed as part of our overall enterprise risk management program, led by our Chief Administrative Officer, which assesses our significant enterprise risks,
provides a summary of those risks and primary mitigations, identifies control improvement projects for our significant risks, and regularly reports on the progress of control
improvement projects for those risks to our Board of Directors. Cybersecurity risks are reviewed by the Board of Directors, at least annually, as part of the Company’s corporate
risk mapping exercise.
 
48

 
 
The Company’s processes are designed to identify such threats by, among other things, monitoring the threat environment using manual and automated tools, subscribing to
services that identify cybersecurity threats, analyzing reports of threats, conducting scans of the threat environment, evaluating threats reported to us and conducting
vulnerability assessments to identify vulnerabilities.
 
We rely on a multidisciplinary team (including from management and third-party service providers) to assess how identified cybersecurity threats could impact our business.
These assessments may leverage, among other processes, industry tools and metrics designed to assist in the assessment of risks from such cybersecurity threats. Management
also conducts periodic and on-demand assessments of our cybersecurity risks.
 
Our Chief Administrative Officer is responsible for developing and implementing the cybersecurity risk management program and reporting on cybersecurity matters to the
Board. Additionally, members of the third-party service providers have cybersecurity experience and/or certifications. We view cybersecurity as a shared responsibility across
our management team and periodically perform simulations and incorporate external resources and advisors as needed. All employees are required to complete cybersecurity
training at least annually and have access to more frequent cybersecurity training through online events.
 
The Chief Administrative Officer is responsible for continuously monitoring and assessing the Company’s cybersecurity risk management program, informing senior
management regarding the prevention, detection and mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity incidents and supervising such efforts.
 
To operate our business, we utilize certain third-party service providers to perform a variety of functions, such as outsourced business critical functions, clinical research,
professional services, SaaS platforms, cloud-based infrastructure, encryption and other functions. We have certain vendor management processes designed to help to manage
cybersecurity risks associated with our use of these providers. Depending on the nature of the services provided, and the sensitivity and quantity of information processed, our
vendor management process may include reviewing the cybersecurity practices of such provider, contractually imposing obligations on the provider related to the services they
provide and/or the information they process, conducting security assessments, conducting on-site inspections, requiring their completion of written questionnaires regarding
their services and data handling practices, and conducting periodic re-assessments during their engagement.
 
We have not experienced any material cybersecurity incidents in the past, and we believe no cybersecurity events have occurred that have materially affected the Company or
its business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. We continue to invest in the cybersecurity of our infrastructure and the enhancement of our internal controls
and processes, which are designed to help protect our systems and data, and the information they contain. We carry insurance in amounts that we believe are reasonable for our
business that provides protection against potential losses arising from a cybersecurity incident. However, there is no assurance that our insurance coverage will cover or be
sufficient to cover all losses or claims that may arise from a cybersecurity incident.
 
ITEM 2 – PROPERTIES
 
We maintain our principal executive office at 12424 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California, where we lease approximately 4,000 square feet of office space. This lease
runs until July 31, 2025, with monthly payments of $14,124 from September 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, $14,618 from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 and $15,130
from July 1, 2024 through July 31, 2025. In connection with the lease, we paid a security deposit of $27,404. We have an option to extend past its lease term for three additional
years.
 
We ended our lease in July 2024 for our previous principal executive office at 55 Greens Farms Road, Westport, Connecticut, where we sublet approximately 6,590 square feet
of office space. The lease was to run until December 31, 2024, with monthly payments of $15,926 plus any additional utility expenses. In connection with the lease, we paid a
security deposit of $14,828.
 
49

 
 
We believe we do not need to expand our current facilities to meet our future needs.
 
ITEM 3 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
On December 4, 2023, the Company received a threat of litigation for the termination of employment with the Company alleging the termination of employment was in
retaliation for bringing to the attention of the Company’s board of directors and executives a series of wrongful and questionable practices by members of the Company’s board
of directors, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The claimant sought compensation in the amount of $775,782. After an investigation conducted by the Board
and guidance of legal counsel, it was concluded that the claim was without merit.
 
On February 22, 2024, the Company received a threat of litigation seeking restitution for losses resulting from unlawful actions taken by the Company and its board of
directors. The claimant contends that he and others have sustained losses totalling approximately $1,440,000. On March 22, 2024, September 3, 2024, September 27, 2024 and
December 6, 2024, the claimant sent additional letters to the Company referencing the previous letters and requesting several documents. On September 19, 2024, the Company
sent the claimant a cease and desist and litigation hold notice which threatened legal action against the claimant if the conduct continued. On March 24, 2025, the Company
entered into a settlement agreement with the claimant for 1,000,000 shares with a market price of $0.4938 per share. As of December 31, 2024, the Company accrued $493,800
for the liability.
 
On December 3, 2024, the Court filed an Order Granting Motion to Dismiss to the lawsuit filed on March 22, 2024 by plaintiff, Michael Gray Fleming (the “Plaintiff”), in
Hennepin County, Minnesota District Court. The lawsuit named the Company, its former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer as defendants. The
Plaintiff contended that the Company failed to meet its obligations in issuing the Plaintiff stock under the terms of a restricted stock award agreement. Plaintiff was seeking at
least $288,000 in damages. The Company believed Plaintiff’s allegations were baseless and had moved to dismiss Plaintiff’s claims during a hearing in September 2024.
 
We may be subject at times to other legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may
occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters should not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
 
There are no material proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates or any registered or beneficial shareholder of more than 5% of our common stock is an
adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Overview
 
Business Overview
 
BioSig Technologies is a medical device technology company with an advanced digital signal processing technology platform, the PURE EP™ Platform (“PURE EP”), that
delivers insights to electrophysiologists for ablation treatments of cardiovascular arrhythmias.
 
The PURE EP™ Platform enables electrophysiologists to acquire raw signal data in real-time—absent of unnecessary noise or interference—to maximize procedural success
and minimize unnecessary inefficiencies. As physician advocates, we believe that the ability to maintain the integrity of intracardiac signals with precision and clarity without
driving up procedural costs has never been more pertinent.
 
By capturing critical cardiac signals—even the most complex—PURE EP is designed to enhance clinical decision-making and improve clinical workflow for all types of
arrhythmias, even the most challenging procedures for cardiac arrhythmias, like ventricular tachycardia (VT) and atrial fibrillation (AF).
 
BioSig has pivoted from a focus on commercial distribution of hardware to the research and development of novel software algorithms that advance our understanding of
mechanisms and tissue characteristics. Data collection began in December 2023 and is ongoing. Despite its rapid adoption, there is room to improve the long-term outcomes of
pulsed field ablation (PFA). Our primary focus is aimed at improving the specificity of PFA treatment and improving clinical outcomes.
 
Our owned patent portfolio now includes 41 issued/allowed utility patents (29 utility patents where BioSig is at least one of the applicants). Thirty one additional U.S. and
foreign utility patent applications are pending covering various aspects of our PURE EP System for recording, measuring, calculating and displaying of electrocardiograms
during cardiac ablation procedures (31 U.S. and foreign utility patent applications where either BioSig, Mayo, or both is at least one of the applicants). We also have one U.S.
patent and one U.S. Pending application directed to artificial intelligence (AI). We also have 30 issued worldwide design patents, which cover various features of our display
screens and graphical user interface for enhanced visualization of biomedical signals (30 design patents where BioSig is at least one of the applicants). Finally, we have licenses
to 12 (issued/allowed) patents and 9 additional worldwide utility patent applications from Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research that are pending (12
issued/allowed patents and 9 applications where only Mayo is the applicant). These patents and applications are generally directed to electroporation and stimulation.

Equity Line of Credit
 
On February 28, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Equity Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Lind Global Fund III, LP (the
“Investor”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investor from time to time (each such occurrence, an
“Advance”) up to $5.0 million (the “Commitment Amount”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), during the 36 months following
the execution of the Subscription Agreement, subject to (a) an overall cap of 10,000,000 shares and (b) the restrictions and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the
Subscription Agreement. The Company is under no obligation to sell any of its Common Stock to the Investor under the Subscription Agreement. At the Company’s option, the
shares of Common Stock would be purchased by the Investor from time to time at a price (the “Market Price”) equal to 95% of the lowest of the daily VWAPs (as hereinafter
defined) during a five (or such other period as the Company and the Investor may agree) consecutive trading day period commencing on the date that the Company delivers a
notice to the Investor (an “Advance Notice”) that the Company is requiring the Investor to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock (the “Advance Shares”).
The Company may also specify a minimum acceptable price per share in each Advance. “VWAP” means, for any trading day, the daily volume weighted average price of the
Company’s Common Stock for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the
Company may require the Investor to purchase in any Advance is an number equal to 66.667% of the average daily volume of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market
during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the Advance Notice; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, in any period of 30
consecutive days, the total number of Advance Shares that the Company may sell to the Investor may be up to 0.5% of the quotient of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on the date of the Advance divided by the Market Price determined for such Advance.
 
As consideration for the Investor’s irrevocable commitment (subject to the conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement) to purchase the Company’s Common Stock up to
the Commitment Amount, the Company issued 108,542 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”) to the Investor. The Company had previously advanced to the
Investor $10,000 to cover certain expenses related to the Subscription Agreement.
 
The Investor’s obligation to purchase the Company’s shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Subscription Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including that the
Company file a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), registering the
issuance and sale of the Commitment Shares and the Advance Shares to be issued and sold pursuant to an Advance under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), and that the Registration Statement be declared effective by the SEC.
 
Neuro-Kinesis Corporation
 
On July 1, 2024, the Company announced the intent to acquire the assets of Neuro-Kinesis Corporation (NKC), a privately held Los Angeles-based medical technology
company developing smart EP tools. A non-binding letter of intent (LOI) had been executed confirming BioSig’s preliminary interest in the proposed acquisition of the assets of
NKC. The purchase price would be paid through the issuance of shares of BioSig’s common stock to the shareholders of NKC. In addition, at closing, NKC would provide a
minimum of $2.5 million, but could provide up to $6 million, of unrestricted cash to BioSig. The proposed acquisition would require extensive due diligence, potentially
through the first quarter of 2025. The LOI expired on October 14, 2024, and the Company entered into an amendment to extend the term of the LOI through March 31, 2025. In
addition, the amendment stated that any party may terminate the LOI in writing prior to the end of the term. On February 3, 2025, the Company terminated the LOI.

development strategy of finding partners for the continued research and development, and commercialization of PURE EP, and develop new products in the field of Pulse Field
Ablation. 
 
Critical Accounting Estimates
 
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the U.S. requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial
statements include estimates based on currently available information and our judgment as to the outcome of future conditions and circumstances.
 
We believe the following critical accounting estimates affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. We evaluate these
estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Among the significant judgments made by management in the preparation of our financial statements are the following:
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
We estimate the fair value of options and stock warrants granted using the Black Scholes Merton model. We estimate when and if performance-based awards will be earned. If
an award is not considered probable of being earned, no amount of equity-based compensation expense is recognized. If the award is deemed probable of being earned, related
equity-based compensation expense is recorded. The fair value of an award ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service
periods in our statements of operations, which is generally the vesting period of the award.
 
55

 
 
The Black Scholes Merton model requires the input of certain subjective assumptions and the application of judgment in determining the fair value of the awards. The most
significant assumptions and judgments include the expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, the expected dividend yield, and the expected term of the awards. In addition, the
recognition of equity-based compensation expense is impacted by our forfeitures, which are accounted for as they occur.
 
The assumptions used in our option pricing model represent management’s best estimates. If factors change and different assumptions are used, our equity-based compensation
expense could be materially different in the future. The assumptions used in our option pricing model represent management’s best estimates. If factors change and different
assumptions are used, our equity-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
 
All stock-based payments to employees and to nonemployee directors for their services as directors consisted of grants of restricted stock and stock options, which are
measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized in the statements of operations as compensation expense over the relevant vesting period. Restricted stock payments and
stock-based payments to nonemployees are recognized as an expense over the period of performance.
 
Such payments are measured at fair value at the earlier of the date a performance commitment is reached, or the date performance is completed. In addition, for awards that vest
immediately and are non-forfeitable, the measurement date is the date the award is issued.
 
Results of Operations (000’s)
 
We anticipate that our results of operations will fluctuate for the foreseeable future due to several factors, such as financing needs, the progress of our research and development
efforts and the timing and outcome of regulatory submissions. Due to these uncertainties, accurate predictions of future operations are difficult or impossible to make.
 
Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2024, Compared to Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2023
 
Revenues and Cost of Goods Sold. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, totaled $40 comprised of recognized service revenue as compared to $18 comprised of
recognized service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in revenue is related to the sales contracts of our medical devices.

connection with the system.
 
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, were $832, a decrease of $4,260 or 83.66%, from
$5,092 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in payroll and stock-based compensation related to research and
development in 2024 as compared to 2023.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, were $11,629, a decrease of $11,448 or 49.61%,
from $23,077 incurred in the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. This decrease is primarily due to a reduction in force and decreases in equity-based and other
compensation, professional services, consulting fees and travel, meals and entertainment costs.
 
Payroll related expenses (including equity compensation) decreased to $7,951 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, from $14,144 for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2023, a decrease of $6,193, or 43.79%. This decrease is due to a decrease in payroll expenses decreasing to $1,083 in 2024, as a result of the workforce reduction
mainly during the first quarter of the year driven by the change in management and reallocation of resources, as compared to $7,405 payroll expenses in 2023. Partially offset
by an increase in stock-based compensation of $129 for the current year compared to the prior year.
 
Professional services for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, totaled $1,778, a decrease of $2,563, or 59.04%, over the $4,341 recognized for the twelve months

months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $2,224 or 72.51%, from $3,067 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease primarily relates to reductions
in consultants in connection with our commercialization efforts.
 
Travel, meals and entertainment costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, were $328, a decrease of $382, or 53.80%, from $710 incurred during the twelve
months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in 2024 was due to reductions in travel in both corporate and commercialization as compared to 2023.
 
Rent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, totaled $238, a decrease of $140, or 37.04%, from $378 incurred during the same period in 2023. In 2024, we incurred a
rent reduction by closing our Connecticut office reflecting the savings in 2024.
 
The remaining general and administrative expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, were $1,334, a decrease of $1,792, or 57.33% from $3,126 incurred in the
twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The remaining expenses consisted of board fees, insurance expenses, computer software expenses, supplies and office supplies. The
decrease was mainly driven by the reduced work force and reduce operations as the new management team took over during the year as compared to the prior year.

period in 2023.

Other Income (expense). Other income (expense) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, totaled $23 as compared to $(187) in 2023.
 
Preferred Stock Dividend. Preferred stock dividends for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, totaled $9. Preferred stock dividends are related to the issuance
of our Series C Preferred Stock issued from 2013 through 2015. In addition, the Series C Preferred stock conversion rate reset from $2.50 to $0.31 in 2024, therefore we
recorded a noncash deemed preferred stock dividend of $174 during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Segment Results
 
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the Company’s chief operating
decision maker (“CODM”) and relied upon when making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. When evaluating the Company’s financial
performance, the CODM reviews total revenues, total expenses, and expenses by functional classification, using this information to make decisions on a company-wide basis.
The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment.
 
The Summary Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, is detailed in Note 13 of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
 
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
 
We had an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2024, of approximately $255.35 million, as well as a net loss of approximately $10.3 million and negative operating cash
flows. We expect to continue incurring losses and negative cash flows from operations until our products (primarily PURE EP) reach commercial profitability.
 
We have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and our expectation is that these conditions will continue for the foreseeable future. In
addition, we will require additional financing to fund future operations. Although we have commercial products available for sale, we have not generated significant revenues to
date, and there is no assurance that we will be able to generate cash flow to fund operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that our research and development will be
successfully completed or that any additional products will be approved or commercially viable. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to obtain
necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, obtaining loans from various financial institutions or being
awarded grants from government agencies, where possible. Our continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that
such methods will prove successful. Additionally, with our reduction in staff, our planned commercialization may be further delayed.
 
Our plans include the continued research and development of PURE EP and other applications of our core technology and raising capital through the sale of additional equity
securities, debt or capital inflows from strategic partnerships. Our reduction in force and payables has allowed us to reduce our annual expenses in a meaningful way. As a
result of this transition, we have been able to achieve savings through reductions in executive and management compensation and a reduction of our utilization of external
consultants and professional service providers. We believe these cost-saving measures combined with our expectations of positive trends in commercial activity create the
potential for us to achieve a lower cash flow breakeven rate. There are no assurances, however, that we will be successful in obtaining the level of financing needed for our
operations.

A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital and on the
market price of our common stock, and we may not be able to successfully raise capital through the sale of our securities.
 
Our Series C Preferred Stock contains triggering events which would, among other things, require redemption (i) in cash, at the greater of (a) 120% of the stated value of $1 or
(b) the product of (I) the variable weighted average price of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the triggering event and (II) the stated
value divided by the then conversion price or (ii) in shares of our common stock, equal to a number of shares equal to the amount set forth in (i) above divided by 75%. As of
December 31, 2024, the aggregate stated value of our Series C Preferred Stock was $105. The triggering events include our being subject to a judgment of greater than $100 or
our initiation of bankruptcy proceedings. If any of the triggering events contained in our Series C Preferred Stock occur, the holders of our Series C Preferred Stock may
demand redemption, an obligation we may not have the ability to meet at the time of such demand. We will be required to pay interest on any amounts remaining unpaid after
the required redemption of our Series C Preferred Stock, at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
 
We expect to incur losses from operations for the near future. We expect to incur additional research and development costs relating to PURE EP and other product candidates,
including expenses related to clinical trials. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we expand our business development, add
infrastructure and incur additional costs related to being a public company, including incremental audit fees, investor relations programs and increased professional services.
 
Our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including the progress of our research and development of product candidates, the timing and outcome of
regulatory approvals, the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights, the status of
competitive products, the availability of financing and our success in developing markets for our product candidates.
 
Future financing may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. Even if we are able to raise the funds required,
it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if
we issue additional equity or debt securities, existing holders of our securities may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or
privileges senior to those of existing holders of our securities.
 
If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate our research and development
programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain
product candidates that we might otherwise seek to develop or commercialize independently.
 
We follow the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, in order to determine whether
there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date our financial statements are issued. Given our current development plans
and cash management efforts, we anticipate that our cash resources will be sufficient to fund operations into the second quarter of 2025. Our ability to continue operations after
our current cash resources are exhausted depends on our ability to obtain additional financing, as to which no assurances can be given. Cash requirements may vary materially
from those now planned because of changes in our focus and direction of our research and development programs, competitive and technical advances, patent developments,
regulatory changes or other developments. If adequate additional funds are not available when required, management may need to curtail its development efforts and planned
operations to conserve cash.
 
Based on the current cash forecast, management has determined that our present capital resources will not be sufficient to fund our planned operations for at least one year from
the issuance date of the financial statements, which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. This forecast of cash resources and planned
operations is forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties, and the actual amount of expenses could vary materially and adversely as a result of a number
of factors.

Equity Financing
 
Issuance of debt
 
On March 7, 2024, the Company issued a promissory note to an investor and related party (10% plus shareholder) for $500,000. The Company designated its 12% note due
2026, in accordance with exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
 
The note was due March 7, 2026. The Company promised to pay interest in cash on the unpaid principal amount of this note at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12%),
commencing to accrue on the date hereof and payable on the maturity date or earlier prepayment as provided therein. The Note contained customary events of default.
 
The Company was able to prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of the Note at any time or from time to time without penalty. On May 1, 2024, we converted the
promissory note and related accrued interest of $509,165 into 348,624 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 174,312 shares of common stock at $1.398 per share,
that will become exercisable six months after the date of issuance and will expire five and one-half years following the date of issuance.

per share, that will become exercisable six months after the date of issuance and will expire five and one-half years following the date of issuance, in exchange for aggregate
consideration of $1,144,164, including $634,999 in cash and $509,165 representing conversion of the principal balance of and accrued interest on the previously issued related
party note payable. The note was not convertible by its terms, but the holder had agreed to convert it into shares of common stock and warrants under the Purchase Agreement.
 
On May 29, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the
investors (i) in a registered direct offering, 1,570,683 shares of Common  Stock at a price of $1.91 per share and (ii) in a concurrent private placement, warrants to purchase up
to an aggregate of 1,570,683 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $1.78 per share. In connection with the Offering, the Company issued 109,948 warrants to its
placement agent at an exercise price of $2.3875. The gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $3,000,000.

$0.95474 per share, that will become exercisable six months after the date of issuance and will expire three and one-half years following the date of issuance, in exchange for
aggregate consideration of $818,998.
 
ATM Sales Agreement
 
On December 18, 2024, the Company entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, as sales agent or
principal (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule
415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“common stock”), through or to the Agent
(the “ATM Offering”). The Sales Agreement, among other things, provides for the issuance and sale of up to an aggregate of $8,500,000 of shares of the Company’s common
stock (the “ATM Shares”).
 
The ATM Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-276298) and an accompanying prospectus filed
by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 28, 2023, as amended on January 5, 2024 and December 9, 2024, and declared
effective by the SEC on December 17, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”) and pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated December 18, 2024.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2024, Compared to Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2023
 
As of December 31, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of $1,920, comprised of cash of $142, accounts receivable of $109, net investments in leases of $13 and prepaid
expenses of $80, which was offset by $2,052 of accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued dividends on preferred stock issuances of $110 and short-term lease liabilities
of $102. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, cash provided by financing activities totaled $4,710, comprised of proceeds from the sale of our common stock of
$4,210, proceeds from At-the-market sale of our common stock and proceeds from issuance of related party note payable of $500. In the comparable period in 2023, $15,301
was raised through the sale of our common stock, proceeds from At-the-market sale of our common stock of $60 and proceeds of $1,971 from the sale of subsidiary stock to
non-controlling interest, net of issuance costs. At December 31, 2024, we had cash of $142 compared to $190 at December 31, 2023. Our cash is held in bank deposit accounts.
At December 31, 2024, and 2023, we had no convertible debentures outstanding.
 
Cash used in operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 was $4,758 and $17,313, respectively, which represent cash outlays for research and
development and general and administrative expenses in such periods. The decrease in cash outlays principally resulted in a reduction in cash operating expenditures in 2024 as
compared with 2023.
 
Cash used in investing activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, was Nil, compared to $186 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. For the twelve
months ended December 31, 2023, we incurred $186 on purchases of office furniture, manufacturing equipment, computer equipment and leasehold improvements.
 
Our Series C Preferred Stock contains triggering events which would, among other things, require redemption (i) in cash, at the greater of (a) 120% of the stated value of
$1,000 or (b) the product of (I) the variable weighted average price of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the triggering event and (II) the
stated value divided by the then conversion price or (ii) in shares of our common stock, equal to a number of shares equal to the amount set forth in (i) above divided by 75%.
As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate stated value of our Series C Preferred Stock was $105,000. The triggering events include our being subject to a judgment of greater
than $100,000 or our initiation of bankruptcy proceedings. If any of the triggering events contained in our Series C Preferred Stock occur, the holders of our Series C Preferred
Stock may demand redemption, an obligation we may not have the ability to meet at the time of such demand. We will be required to pay interest on any amounts remaining
unpaid after the required redemption of our Series C Preferred Stock, at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,
which requires disaggregated information about our effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance will first be effective in our
annual disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2025, and should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our disclosures.
 
In November 2023, the “FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280)” which is intended to improve reportable segment
disclosure requirements, primarily through incremental disclosures of segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities. The ASU expands public
entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each
reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss
and assets. The ASU is effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and interim periods thereafter with and it has been applied
retrospectively to all prior periods presented. See Note 13 – Segment Reporting.
 
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of the nature of
expenses included in the income statement in response to longstanding requests from investors for more information about an entity’s expenses. The new standard requires
disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. ASU
2024-03 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 and does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
There were other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not
expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Other Potential Risks
 
The Company takes some tax positions, including the reporting of stock-based compensation, that may not be accepted by the Internal Revenue Service upon an examination,
and we may be subject to penalties for underreporting of recipient’s income. The result of any such examination is uncertain, and any such penalties could be material to our
financial position and results of operations given our current limited cash and revenues.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Biosig Technologies, Inc.
 
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Biosig Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred
to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company
as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the
Company has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to
perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing
procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
Critical Audit Matters
 
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the
audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective,
or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Business and organization
 
BioSig Technologies, Inc. was initially incorporated on February 24, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada and subsequently re-incorporated in the state of Delaware in
2011. The Company is principally devoted to improving the standard care in electrophysiology with our PURE EP’s enhanced signal acquisition, digital signal processing, and
analysis during ablation of cardiac arrhythmias. The Company has generated minimal revenue to date and consequently its operations are subject to all risks inherent in
business enterprises in early commercialization stage.
 
On November 7, 2018, the Company formed a subsidiary under the laws of the State of Delaware originally under the name of NeuroClear Technologies, Inc. which was
renamed to ViralClear Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ViralClear”) in March 2020. The subsidiary was established to pursue additional applications of PURE EP™ signal processing
technology outside of cardiac electrophysiology, and subsequently in 2020, was repurposed to develop merimepodib, a broad-spectrum anti-viral agent that showed potential
for the treatment of COVID-19. Since late 2020, ViralClear has been realigned with its original objective of pursuing additional applications of PURE EP™ signal processing
technology outside of cardiac electrophysiology.
 
In 2019 and 2020, ViralClear sold an aggregate of 1,965,240 shares of its common stock to investors for net proceeds of $15.6 million and issued an aggregate of 894,869
shares of its common stock in connection with acquiring assets and with know-how agreements. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company had a majority interest in
ViralClear of 69.08%.
 
On July 2, 2020, the Company formed an additional subsidiary, NeuroClear Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which was renamed to BioSig AI Sciences, Inc.
(“BioSig AI”) on May 31, 2023. The subsidiary was established to pursue clinical needs of cardiac and neurological disorders through recordings and analyses of action
potentials. BioSig AI aims to contribute to the advancements of AI-based diagnoses and therapies. In June and July 2023, BioSig AI sold an aggregate of 2,205,000 shares of its
common stock for net proceeds of $1,971,277 to fund initial operations. At December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company had a majority interest in BioSig AI of 84.5% (see
Notes 9 and 11).
 
The Company continues to evaluate opportunities for the two subsidiaries.
 
On January 28, 2024 and February 20, 2024, management of the Company commenced a workforce reduction intended to reduce significantly the annual cash burn which was
completed as of February 20, 2024. The workforce reduction consisted of the departure of sixteen employees, effective as of January 31, 2024 and included the departure of
John Sieckhaus, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, and Gray Fleming, the Company’s Chief Commercial Officer and twenty-six employees effective February 20, 2024.
The effect of the workforce reductions has significantly reduced operations in the short term. In connection with workforce reduction, the Company issued an aggregate of
85,244 shares of common stock with a fair value of $72,065 as severance.
 
On March 5, 2024, Nasdaq (the “Staff”) notified the Company that it failed to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per
share and did not qualify for an additional compliance period due to insufficient stockholders’ equity. Nasdaq indicated it would delist the Company’s common stock unless
appealed. The Company requested an appeal hearing on March 11, 2024. On March 12, 2024, Nasdaq further stated the Company appeared to be a “public shell” without an
operating business, citing workforce reductions and board resignations, and noted it also no longer met the required $35 million minimum Market Value of Listed Securities.
These issues formed additional grounds for delisting. The Company appealed these determinations, and the hearing took place on May 7, 2024.
 
On June 10, 2024, the Company received formal notice that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel had determined to delist the Company’s common stock from Nasdaq due to the
Company’s continued non-compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) for continued listing on Nasdaq. As a
result, trading in the Company’s common stock will be suspended on Nasdaq effective with the open of business on Wednesday, June 12, 2024. The Company’s common stock
should be eligible to trade on the OTC Markets’ Pink Current Information tier under symbol “BSGM” effective with the open of trading on Wednesday, June 12, 2024. The
Company sought the Panel’s reconsideration of its decision in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
 
On June 24, 2024, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel had declined to reconsider its decision dated June 10, 2024 to delist the Company’s
common stock from Nasdaq (the “Delisting Decision”). Trading in the Company’s securities was suspended on Nasdaq effective with the open of business on June 12, 2024, at
which point the Company’s common stock was eligible to trade on the OTC Market’s Pink Current Information tier.
 
On July 10, 2024, the Company filed a submission in support of an appeal to the Delisting Decision to the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council.
 
On July 23, 2024, the Company commenced trading of its common stock on the OTCQB, operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc.
 
F-7

 
 
On October 18, 2024, the Company received a decision from the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council granting the Company a grace period until March 7, 2025 to
regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”), which requires a market value of listed securities of at least $35 million.
 
On October 21, 2024, the Company was notified that its common stock will commence trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, effective at the
opening of trading.
 
On October 24, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that based upon the closing bid price of the
Company’s common stock from the period of June 11, 2024 through the reinstatement date, October 23, 2024, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per
share required by the Nasdaq Listing Rules (“Rules”) and as a result, the Company no longer meets this requirement. However, the Rules also provides the Company a
compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance.
 
On November 13, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing its Nasdaq bid price compliance.
 
On March 6, 2025, the Company submitted supporting documents to the Listing Council evidencing compliance with the Equity Rule. And on March 24, 2025, the
Company was notified by the Office of General Counsel of Nasdaq that the Company had successfully met the qualifications to regain full compliance for continued listing on
the Nasdaq Capital Market.
 
On April 11, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Staff indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive
business day period between February 27, 2025, through April 10, 2025, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on
Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until
October 8, 2025 (the “Compliance Period”), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s
minimum bid price requirement, the Company’s common stock must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the
Compliance Period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain
compliance. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held shares and all other initial listing
standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second
compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, the Company may be granted an additional 180 calendar days to
regain compliance. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will be unable to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is not otherwise eligible for the additional cure
period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The letter has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common
stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other listing requirements of Nasdaq. At that time, the Company
may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance that,
if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the panel, such appeal would be successful.
 
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS
 
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $0.14 million and working capital deficit of $1.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company used
net cash in operating activities of $4.8 million. These balances create a liquidity concern, which in turn raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern.
 
The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from sale of common and preferred stock. The Company has experienced net losses
and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. See Note 16 – Subsequent event from cash
proceeds from sales of common stock after December 31, 2024.
 
The Company’s plans include the continued research and development of our PURE EP and other applications of our core technology and raising capital through the sale of
additional equity securities, debt or capital inflows from strategic partnerships. The Company’s strategic shift to potentially hiring a team of an additional 4-6 persons to execute
a business development strategy of finding partners for the commercialization of PURE EP, develop new products in the field of Pulse Field Ablation and to continue to
integrate PURE EP into today’s lab equipment will allow the Company to significantly reduce operating expenses from years prior.
 
The Company will require additional financing to fund future operations. There can be no assurance that the Company’s continuing research and development will be
successfully completed or that any additional products will be commercially viable.
 
Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a
going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the
consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.
 
Reverse Stock Split
 
On January 31, 2024, the Company filed a Reverse Stock Split Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, effective February 2, 2024. Pursuant to the
Reverse Stock Split Amendment, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Company accounted for the
reverse stock split on a retrospective basis pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. All authorized, issued and outstanding common stock, common stock warrants, stock
option awards, exercise prices and per share data have been adjusted in these consolidated financial statements, on a retroactive basis, to reflect the reverse stock split for all
periods presented. Authorized common and preferred stock was not adjusted because of the reverse stock split.
 
Principals of consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BioSig Technologies, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiary, ViralClear Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and
wholly owned subsidiary, BioSig AI Sciences, Inc. herein collectively referred to as the “Company” or “BioSig”. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
 
F-8

 
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance related
to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company derived its revenue primarily from the sale of its medical device, PURE EP, and well as related support and maintenance services and software upgrades in
connection with the system.
 
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) for lease components and ASC 606, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) for non-lease components. For medical device sales, the Company recognize revenue under ASC 606.
 
The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
 
Under ASC 606, the Company determines revenue recognition through the following five steps:
 
●
Identify the contract with the customer;
 
 
●
Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
 
 
●
Determine the transaction price;
 
 
●
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract; and
 
 
●
Recognize revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied.
 
Performance obligations are the units of accounting for revenue recognition and generally represent the distinct goods or services that are promised to the customer. If the
Company determines that it has not satisfied a performance obligation, it will defer recognition of the revenue until the performance obligation is deemed to be satisfied. Once
PURE EP is delivered, installed, and accepted by the customer, our performance obligation is recognized. Support, maintenance, and software upgrades are performance
obligations over a defined period and are recognized ratably over the contractual service period. Customers typically purchase these services with the initial sale of PURE EP
and do not have the right to terminate their contracts unless we fail to perform material obligations.
 
The Company may execute more than one contract with a single customer. If so, it is evaluated whether the agreements were negotiated as a package with a single objective,
whether the amount of consideration to be paid in one agreement depends on the price and/or performance of another agreement, or whether the goods or services promised in
the agreements represent a single performance obligation. The conclusions reached can impact the allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation and the
timing of revenue recognition related to those arrangements.
 
The Company records accounts receivable for amounts invoiced to customers for which the Company has an unconditional right to consideration as provided under the
contractual arrangement. Unbilled receivables, if any, include amounts related to the Company’s contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations not
yet invoiced. Deferred revenue includes payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Our unbilled receivables and deferred revenue are reported on an
individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Unbilled receivables are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to bill the
customer. Deferred revenue is classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue.
 
F-9

 
 
The Company’s unconditional right to consideration for goods and services transferred to the customer is included in accounts receivable, net (if any) in the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet.
 
In 2022, the Company entered two leases for our PURE EP at a rate of $4,333 per month each. The term of the leases is for 30 months with an option provided to extend for an
additional one year. The leases also have an option to purchase at the end of the lease at the fair market value. The Company accounts for the leases in accordance with ASC
842 and ASC 606.
 
The Company determined the leases meet the criteria of a sales-type lease whereby the present value of the future expected revenue (less the present value of the estimated
unguaranteed residual value), cost of sales and profit and loss are recognized at the lease inception. Non-lease components are recognized under ASC 606. The discount rate
utilized was the contract explicit rate of 2% per annum. (See Note 6 – Lease Receivables).
 
A reconciliation of contract liabilities with customers for the year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, are presented below:

The Company had one customer which accounted for 97.5% of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2024 and three customers which accounted for approximately
48.1%, 29.7% and 22.2% of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2023.
 
The Company had three customers which accounted for approximately 43.6%, 39.9% and 11.9% of our outstanding accounts receivable at December 31, 2024 and three
customers which accounted for approximately 62.3%, 19.6% and 18.0% of our outstanding accounts receivable at December 31, 2023.
 
F-10

 
 
The Company utilized one contract manufacturer for the manufacture and supply of PURE EP for the year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023.
 
Deferred Costs (Contract acquisition costs)
 
The Company capitalizes initial and renewal sales commissions in the period the commission is earned, which generally occurs when a customer contract is obtained, and
amortize deferred commission costs on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which we have deemed to be the contract term. As a practical expedient, the
Company expenses sales commissions as incurred when the amortization period of related deferred commission costs would have been one year or less.
 
Allowance for Credit Losses
 
The Company adjusts accounts receivable down to net realizable value with its allowance methodology. In determining the allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated
losses, aged receivables are analyzed periodically by management. Each identified receivable is reviewed based upon historical collection experience, financial condition of the
customer and the status of any open or unresolved issues with the customer preventing the payment thereof. Corrective action, if necessary, is taken by the Company to resolve
open issues related to unpaid receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 at December 31, 2024, and 2023. The Company believes that its reserve is adequate,
however results may differ in future periods. For the year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, bad debt expense totaled $0.
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company
places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such amounts may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. At December 31, 2024,
and 2023, deposits in excess of FDIC limits were nil.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying
value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All
other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other
information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial
liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.
 
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”) and ASC 825-10, which permits entities
to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.

Prepaid Expenses and Vendor Deposits
 
Prepaid expenses and vendor deposits are comprised of prepaid insurance, operating expenses and other prepayments.
 
Leases (lessee)
 
The Company determines if a contractual arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current operating
lease liabilities, and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company evaluates and classifies leases as operating or finance
leases for financial reporting purposes. The classification evaluation begins at the commencement date and the lease term used in the evaluation includes the non-cancellable
period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain and
failure to exercise such option which result in an economic penalty. All the Company’s real estate leases are classified as operating leases. ROU assets represent the Company’s
right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU
assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
 
The lease payments included in the present value are fixed lease payments. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates its
collateralized incremental borrowing rate, based on information available at the commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company applies
the portfolio approach in applying discount rates to its classes of leases. The operating lease ROU assets include any payments made before the commencement date. Lease
expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not currently have subleases. The Company does not currently have
residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants in its leases.
 
Leases (lessor)
 
The Company classifies contractual lease arrangements entered as a lessor as a sales-type, direct financing or operating lease as described in ASC 842-Leases. For sales-type
leases, the Company derecognizes the leased asset and recognizes the lease investment on the balance sheet.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets
 
The Company recognizes an impairment of long-lived assets used in operations, other than goodwill, when events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired
and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets over their remaining lives are less than the carrying amount of those items. The net carrying value of
assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value, which is typically calculated using the discounted cash flow method.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company re-assessed its carrying amounts of certain property and equipment due to reduced manufacturing of its commercial
products and determined that these carrying amounts exceeded the estimated undiscounted future cash flows. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $253 impairment charge to
current operations during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company did not recognize and record any impairments of long-lived assets used in operations during the
year ended December 31, 2023.
 
Research and Development Costs
 
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC
730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed
as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-
sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development
expenses of $0.8 million and $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
 
Net Income (loss) Per Common Share
 
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Net loss per common share
is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would
include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted”
methods as applicable.
 
The computation of basic and diluted loss per share as of December 31, 2024, and 2023 excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if
their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.
 
Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are as follows:

Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award as measured on the grant date. The
fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.
 
F-13

 
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable
when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each
period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to
reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred
income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting
and tax purposes in different periods.
 
Patents, Net
 
The Company capitalizes certain initial asset costs in connection with patent applications including registration, documentation and other professional fees associated with the
application. Patent costs incurred prior to the Company’s U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) 510(k) application on March 28, 2018 were charged to research and
development expense as incurred. Commencing upon first in-man trials on February 18 and 19, 2019, capitalized costs are amortized to expense using the straight-line method
over the lesser of the legal patent term or the estimated life of the product of 20 years. During the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded
amortization of $19,006 and $19,106, respectively.
 
Warranty
 
The Company generally warrants its products to be free from material defects and to conform to material specifications for a period of up to two (2) years. Warranty expense is
estimated based primarily on historical experience and is reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
 
Segment Information
 
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the Company’s chief operating
decision maker (“CODM”) and relied upon when making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. When evaluating the Company’s financial
performance, the CODM reviews total revenues, total expenses, and expenses by functional classification; using this information to make decisions on a company-wide basis.
The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment. (See Note 13 – Segment Reporting).
 
Non-controlling Interest
 
The Company’s non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling shareholders’ ownership interests related to the Company’s subsidiaries, ViralClear and BioSig AI. The
Company reports its non-controlling interest in subsidiaries as a separate component of equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and reports both net loss
attributable to the non-controlling interest and net loss attributable to the Company’s common shareholders on the face of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of
operations. The Company’s equity interest in ViralClear and BioSig AI is 69.08% and 84.48%; and the non-controlling stockholders’ interest is 30.92% and 15.52%,
respectively as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. This is reflected in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.
 
Warrants
 
The Company accounts for stock warrants as either equity instruments, derivative liabilities, or liabilities in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
(ASC 480), and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about our effective tax rate
reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance will first be effective in our annual disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2025, and should be
applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on
our disclosures.
 
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280)” which is intended to improve reportable segment
disclosure requirements, primarily through incremental disclosures of segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities. The ASU expands public
entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each
reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss
and assets. The ASU is effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and interim periods thereafter with and it has been applied
retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 13 – Segment
Reporting.
 
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of the nature of
expenses included in the income statement in response to longstanding requests from investors for more information about an entity’s expenses. The new standard requires
disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement and disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-
03 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 and does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not
expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 6 – LEASE RECEIVABLES
 
In 2022, the Company entered into two leases for our PURE EP at a rate of $4,333 per month each. The term of the leases is for 30 months with an option provided to extend
for an additional one year. The leases also have an option to purchase at the end of the lease at the fair market value.
 
The Company determined the leases meet the criteria of a sales-type lease whereby the present value of the future expected revenue (less the present value of the estimated
unguaranteed residual value), cost of sales and profit and loss are recognized at the lease inception. The discount rate utilized was the contract explicit rate of 2% per annum.
The present value of the unguaranteed residual assets of $4 are included in net investment in leases in the balance sheet.

NOTE 8 – SERIES C 9% CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
 
Series C 9% Convertible Preferred Stock
 
On January 9, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up to 4,200 shares of 9% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”).
 
The Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to preference over holders of junior stock upon liquidation in the amount of $1,000 plus any accrued and unpaid dividends; entitled to
dividends as a preference to holders of junior stock at a rate of 9% per annum of the stated value of $1,000 per share, payable quarterly beginning on September 30, 2013 and
are cumulative. The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock vote together with the holders of our common stock on an as-converted basis but may not vote the Series C
Preferred Stock in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation of the Series C Preferred Stock. The beneficial ownership limitation is 4.99% of our then outstanding shares of
common stock following such conversion or exercise, which may be increased to up to 9.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such conversion or
exercise upon the request of an individual holder. The beneficial ownership limitation is determined on an individual holder basis, such that the as-converted number of shares
of one holder is not included in the shares outstanding when calculating the limitation for a different holder.
 
F-17

 
 
As a result of an amendment to the conversion price of our Series C Preferred Stock, the conversion price effective as of December 31, 2020 was $3.75 per share, subject to
certain reset provisions. In 2021, the conversion prices was reset from $3.75 per share to $2.27 per share and in 2022 reset to $0.25 per share. In 2024, the conversion price was
reset from $2.50 per share to $0.41 per share and from $0.41 to $0.31 per share. As such, the Company recorded a noncash deemed dividend of $173,919 during the year ended
December 31, 2024.
 
The Series C Preferred Stock contains triggering events which would, among other things, require redemption (i) in cash, at the greater of (a) 120% of the stated value of
$1,000 or (b) the product of (I) the variable weighted average price of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the triggering event and (II) the
stated value divided by the then conversion price or (ii) in shares of our common stock, equal to a number of shares equal to the amount set forth in (i) above divided by 75%.
As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the aggregate stated value of our Series C Preferred Stock was $105,000. The triggering events include our being subject to a judgment of
greater than $100,000 or our initiation of bankruptcy proceedings. If any of the triggering events contained in our Series C Preferred Stock occur, the holders of our Series C
Preferred Stock may demand redemption, an obligation the Company may not have the ability to meet at the time of such demand. The Company will be required to pay
interest on any amounts remaining unpaid after the required redemption of our Series C Preferred Stock, at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, the Company has classified the Series C Preferred Stock as a mezzanine obligation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding totaled 105 as of December 31, 2024, and 2023. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company has accrued $110,042 and

ViralClear Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
 
2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan
 
On September 24, 2019, ViralClear’s Board of Directors approved the 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as subsequently amended, the “ViralClear Plan”). The ViralClear Plan
was approved by BioSig as ViralClear’s majority stockholder. The ViralClear Plan provides for the issuance of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted
stock units to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of ViralClear’s common stock to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the ViralClear. Under the terms of the
ViralClear Plan, ViralClear may issue Incentive Stock Options as defined by the Internal Revenue Code to employees of ViralClear only and nonqualified options. The Board of
Directors of ViralClear or a committee thereof (the “Administrator”) administers the ViralClear Plan and determines the exercise price, vesting and expiration period of the
grants under the ViralClear Plan.
 
However, the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option should not be less than 110% of fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant for a 10% or more
stockholder and 100% of fair market value for a grantee who is not 10% stockholder. The fair market value of the common stock is determined based on the quoted market
price or in absence of such quoted market price, by the Administrator in good faith.
 
Additionally, the vesting period of the grants under the ViralClear Plan will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, with an expiration period of not more than
ten years. There are 2,915,071 shares remaining available for future issuance of awards under the terms of the ViralClear Plan.

Litigation
 
Threatened litigation
 
On December 4, 2023, the Company received a threat of litigation for the termination of employment with the Company alleging the termination of employment was in
retaliation for bringing to the attention of the Company’s board of directors and executives a series of wrongful and questionable practices by members of the Company’s board
of directors, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The claimant sought compensation in the amount of $775,782. After an investigation conducted by the Board
and guidance of legal counsel, it was concluded that the claim was without merit.
 
On February 22, 2024, the Company received a threat of litigation seeking restitution for losses resulting from unlawful actions taken by the Company and its board of
directors. The claimant contends that he and others have sustained losses totaling approximately $1,440,000. On March 22, 2024, September 3, 2024, September 27, 2024 and
December 6, 2024, the claimant sent additional letters to the Company referencing the previous letters and requesting several documents. On September 19, 2024, the Company
sent the claimant a cease and desist and litigation hold notice which threatened legal action against the claimant if the conduct continued. On March 24, 2025, the Company
entered into a settlement agreement with the claimant and accrued $493,800 as of December 31, 2024.
 
On December 3, 2024, the Court filed an Order Granting Motion to Dismiss to the lawsuit filed on March 22, 2024 by plaintiff, Michael Gray Fleming (the “Plaintiff”), in
Hennepin County, Minnesota District Court. The lawsuit named the Company, its former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer as defendants. The
Plaintiff contended that the Company failed to meet its obligations in issuing the Plaintiff stock under the terms of a restricted stock award agreement. Plaintiff was seeking at
least $288,000 in damages. The Company believed Plaintiff’s allegations were baseless and had moved to dismiss Plaintiff’s claims during a hearing in September 2024.
 
F-29

 
 
We may be subject at times to other legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may
occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters should not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
 
There are no material proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates or any registered or beneficial shareholder of more than 5% of our common stock is an
adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
The Company takes some tax positions, including the reporting of stock-based compensation, that may not be accepted by the Internal Revenue Service upon an examination,
and we may be subject to penalties for underreporting of recipient’s income. The result of any such examination is uncertain, and any such penalties could be material to our
financial position and results of operations given our current limited cash and revenues.
 
NOTE 13 – SEGMENT REPORTING
 
The CODM for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”). The Company’s CEO reviews operating results on an aggregate basis and manages the Company’s
operations as a whole for the purpose of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources. This decision-making process reflects the way in which financial
information is regularly reviewed and used by the CODM to evaluate performance, set operational targets, forecast future financial results, and allocate resources. Accordingly,
the Company has determined that it has one reportable and operating segment.
 
The Company’s CODM assesses financial performance and allocates resources based on consolidated operating results which are also reported on the consolidated statements
of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The CODM utilizes consolidated operating results by comparing
actual results against budgeted amounts. As part of this process, consolidated net loss is a critical performance measure used to evaluate the Company’s operating performance
and guide strategic decisions and resource allocations, including additional investments in research and development The table below provides information about the
Company’s revenue, significant segment expenses and other segment expenses.

NOTE 14 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
Accounts payable and accrued expenses include due to related parties comprised primarily director fees and travel reimbursements. Due to related parties as of December 31,
2024, and 2023, was $18,500 and $30,000, respectively.
 
On June 5, 2024, the Company and Mr. Ferdinand Groenewald entered into a consulting agreement (the “Agreement”) effective June 5, 2024, pursuant to which Mr.
Groenewald will lead accounting and financial reporting activities of the Company. Mr. Groenewald will serve as the Company’s interim chief financial officer, principal
accounting officer and vice president of finance. The Agreement will continue indefinitely until terminated by either party upon 30 days’ advance notice. The Agreement
provides for compensation at a fixed rate of $15,000 per month and reimbursement by the Company for any usual and customary business expenses incurred by Mr.
Groenewald in connection with performing services pursuant to the Agreement. Per the Agreement Mr. Groenewald earned $106,500 during the year ended December 31, 2024.
In addition, the Agreement provides for the Company to indemnify Mr. Groenewald on terms customary for officers.
 
On March 1, 2024, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock to Frederick Hrkac, director and former principal executive and financial officer in exchange for
services with a fair value of $352,550.
 
On March 7, 2024, the company issued a promissory note to a significant shareholder for $500,000. This note was subsequently converted into shares of common stock.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2024, Mr. Amato earned $20,000 as consultant prior to being appointed as the Chief Executive Officer in April 2024.
 
NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES
 
At December 31, 2024, the Company had federal operating losses of approximately $166,400,000 as well as federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of
approximately $210,000. Approximately $23,604,922 of the foregoing federal net operating losses will expire at various dates from 2030 through 2037 and approximately
$142,795,078 can be carried forward indefinitely, if not limited by triggering events prior to such time. At December 31, 2024, the Company had state operating losses of
approximately $164,920,000 and the state net operating losses will expire at various dates from 2030 through 2044, if not limited by triggering events prior to such time. Under
the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, changes in ownership of the Company, in certain circumstances, would limit the amount of federal net operating losses that can be
utilized annually in the future to offset taxable income. In particular, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 382”) imposes limitations on an entity’s ability to use
NOLs upon certain changes in ownership. If the Company is limited in its ability to use its net operating losses in future years in which it has taxable income, then the
Company will pay more taxes than if it were otherwise able to fully utilize its net operating losses. The Company may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of
subsequent shifts in ownership of the Company’s capital stock that the Company cannot predict or control that could result in further limitations being placed on the Company’s
ability to utilize its federal net operating losses.
 
A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. When determining the amount of net deferred tax assets that are more likely
than not to be realized, the Company assesses all available positive and negative evidence. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, prior earnings history, expected future
earnings, carry-back and carry-forward periods and the feasibility of ongoing tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax
asset. The weight given to the positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent the evidence may be objectively verified. As such, it is generally difficult for
positive evidence regarding projected future taxable income, exclusive of reversing taxable temporary differences, to outweigh objective negative evidence of recent financial
reporting losses. Based on these criteria and the relative weighting of both the positive and negative evidence available, management continues to maintain a full valuation
allowance against its net deferred tax assets.
 
The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for tax years ending on or before December 31, 2018.

NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date on which these condensed financial statements were issued. Other than as described
in the notes above, the Company did not have any material subsequent events that impacted its condensed financial statements or disclosures.
 
Equity Line of Credit
 
On February 28, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Equity Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Lind Global Fund III, LP (the
“Investor”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investor from time to time (each such occurrence, an
“Advance”) up to $5.0 million (the “Commitment Amount”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), during the 36 months following
the execution of the Subscription Agreement, subject to (a) an overall cap of 10,000,000 shares and (b) the restrictions and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the
Subscription Agreement. The Company is under no obligation to sell any of its Common Stock to the Investor under the Subscription Agreement. At the Company’s option, the
shares of Common Stock would be purchased by the Investor from time to time at a price (the “Market Price”) equal to 95% of the lowest of the daily VWAPs (as hereinafter
defined) during a five (or such other period as the Company and the Investor may agree) consecutive trading day period commencing on the date that the Company delivers a
notice to the Investor (an “Advance Notice”) that the Company is requiring the Investor to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock (the “Advance Shares”).
The Company may also specify a minimum acceptable price per share in each Advance. “VWAP” means, for any trading day, the daily volume weighted average price of the
Company’s Common Stock for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the
Company may require the Investor to purchase in any Advance is an number equal to 66.667% of the average daily volume of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market
during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the Advance Notice; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, in any period of 30
consecutive days, the total number of Advance Shares that the Company may sell to the Investor may be up to 0.5% of the quotient of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on the date of the Advance divided by the Market Price determined for such Advance.
 
As consideration for the Investor’s irrevocable commitment (subject to the conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement) to purchase the Company’s Common Stock up to
the Commitment Amount, the Company issued 108,542 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”) to the Investor. The Company had previously advanced to the
Investor $10,000 to cover certain expenses related to the Subscription Agreement.
 
The Investor’s obligation to purchase the Company’s shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Subscription Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including that the
Company file a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), registering the
issuance and sale of the Commitment Shares and the Advance Shares to be issued and sold pursuant to an Advance under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), and that the Registration Statement be declared effective by the SEC.
 
Private Placement
 
On March 5, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold to the investors an
aggregate of 758,514 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.08 per share, and warrants to purchase up to 758,514 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$0.95 per share, that will become exercisable six months after the date of issuance and will expire three and one-half years following the date of issuance, in exchange for
aggregate consideration of $818,998.
 
At The Marketing Offering
 
From January 17, 2025 through April 14, 2025, the Company has sold 4,403,166 ATM Shares at an average offering price of $0.91 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of
$4,019,063. The Company paid net fees of $136,643 resulting in net proceeds of $3,882,420.
 
Equity transactions
 
On January 1, 2025, the Company issued 4,167 shares of its common stock for vested restricted stock units.
 
In January 2025, the Company issued 1,460,000 shares of its common stock to consultants for services rendered, valued at $2,044,000.
 
On February 1, 2025, the Company issued 4,167 shares of its common stock for vested restricted stock units.
 
On February 6, 2025, the Company issued 48,996 shares of its common stock upon cashless exercise of warrants to purchase 68,470 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $0.30 per share.
 
On February 25, 2025, the Company issued 5,000 shares of its common stock to a consultant for services rendered, valued at $5,400.
 
In March 2025, the Company issued 216,667 shares of its common stock for vested restricted stock units.
 
On April 1, 2025, the Company issued 4,167 shares of its common stock for vested restricted stock units.
 
Notice of Delisting
 
On April 11, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Staff indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive
business day period between February 27, 2025, through April 10, 2025, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on
Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until

October 8, 2025 (the “Compliance Period”), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s
minimum bid price requirement, the Company’s common stock must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the
Compliance Period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain
compliance. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held shares and all other initial listing
standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second
compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, the Company may be granted an additional 180 calendar days to
regain compliance. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will be unable to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is not otherwise eligible for the additional cure
period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The letter has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common
stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other listing requirements of Nasdaq. At that time, the Company
may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance that,
if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the panel, such appeal would be successful.

ITEM 9 – CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
None.
 
ITEM 9A – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Management’s evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure
controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible
controls and procedures relative to their costs.
 
Based on management’s evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a
reasonable assurance level and are not effective in providing reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting.
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. Internal control over financial reporting is
defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and
principal financial officer and effected by the our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and
procedures that:
 
 
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
 
 
 
 
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and
 
 
 
 
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their
objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible enhancements to controls and procedures.
 
63

 
 
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2024, based on the criteria in a framework developed by the Company’s management pursuant to and in compliance with the criteria established in Internal
Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the
documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, walkthroughs of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based
on this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024, because management identified that
i) inadequate identification, recording and reporting of stock based compensation, ii) ineffective review processes over period end financial disclosure and reporting, and (iii)
inadequate segregation of duties for transaction posting and processing, amounted to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
The material weaknesses did not result in any identified misstatements to the consolidated financial statements and there were no changes to previously released financial
results.
 
Management’s Remediation Plan
 
In 2025, we have intents to add sufficient staff and oversight supervision controls to provide adequate accounting segregation. We believe these changes will remediate the
underlying deficiencies as identified by us. The remediation efforts will include an ongoing review of the implementation of additional controls to ensure all risks have been
addressed.
 
As a result of the material weaknesses discussed above or of others, we may experience negative impacts on our ability to accurately report our results of operation and
financial condition in a timely manner. If we do identify a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and are unsuccessful in implementing or following
a remediation plan, or fail to update our internal control over financial reporting as our business evolves or to integrate acquired businesses into our controls system, if
additional material weaknesses are found in our internal controls in the future, or if our external auditors cannot attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
review, if applicable, we may not be able to timely or accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows or to maintain effective disclosure controls
and procedures. If we are unable to report financial information in a timely and accurate manner or to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, we could be subject
to, among other things, regulatory or enforcement actions by the SEC, an inability for us to be accepted for listing on any national securities exchange in the near future,
securities litigation and a general loss of investor confidence, any one of which could adversely affect our business prospects and the market value of our common stock.
Further, there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or
overriding of the controls and procedures. We could face additional litigation exposure and a greater likelihood of an SEC enforcement or other regulatory action if further
restatements were to occur or other accounting-related problems emerge.
 
The weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that
these controls are operating effectively.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation referred to above that occurred during our last completed
fiscal quarter that has materially negatively affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As discussed above, management
has remediation plans that will be implemented in 2025.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file
with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports

Groenewald, Steven Abelman and Christopher Baer in connection with their appointments and one late Form 4 filing by Frederick Hrkac for a grant of restricted stock.
 
Committees of the Board of Directors
 
Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a nominating and corporate governance committee, and a compensation committee, each of which has the
composition and responsibilities described below.
 
Audit Committee
 
Our audit committee was established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act and is currently comprised of Messrs. Abelman, Browne and Baer, each of
whom our board has determined to be financially literate and qualifies as an independent director under Section 5605(a)(2) and Section 5605(c)(2) of the rules of the Nasdaq
Stock Market. Mr. Abelman is the chairman of our audit committee. In addition, Mr. Abelman qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii)
of Regulation S-K.
 
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
 
Our nominating and corporate governance committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Abelman, Browne and Baer, each of whom qualifies as an independent director under
Section 5605(a)(2) of the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Mr. Browne is the chairman of our nominating and corporate governance committee.
 
Compensation Committee
 
Our compensation committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Abelman, Browne and Baer, each of whom qualifies as an independent director under Section 5605(a)(2) of the
rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, an “outside director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and a “non-employee director” for purposes of Section
16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and does not have a relationship to us which is material to his ability to be independent from management in
connection with the duties of a compensation committee member, as described in Section 5605(d)(2) of the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Mr. Browne is the chairman of
our compensation committee.
 
Code of Ethics
 
We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer
and principal accounting officer. The full text of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is published on the Investors section of our website at www.biosig.com. We intend to
disclose any future amendments to certain provisions of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or waivers of such provisions granted to executive officers and directors, on
this website within four business days following the date of any such amendment or waiver.
 
Clawback Policy
 
Pursuant to Nasdaq listing requirements, we have adopted a policy providing for the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received by our executive
officers during an applicable recovery period (the “Clawback Policy”). Under the Clawback Policy, in the event that financial results upon which a cash or equity-based
incentive award was based becomes the subject of a financial restatement that is required because of material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements, the
Compensation Committee will conduct a review of awards covered by the Clawback Policy and recoup any erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation to ensure that
the ultimate award reflects the financial results as restated. The Clawback Policy covers any cash or equity-based incentive compensation award that was paid, earned or
granted to covered executive officers during the last completed three fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which we are required to prepare the accounting
restatement.
 
Insider Trading Policy
 
We have adopted an insider trading policy, governing the purchase, sale and other transactions in our securities that applies to our directors, executive officers, employees, and
other covered persons, including immediate family members and entities controlled by any of the foregoing persons, as well as by the Company itself.
 
The insider trading policy prohibits, among other things, insider trading and certain speculative transactions in our securities (including short sales, buying put and selling call
options and other hedging or derivative transactions in our securities) and establishes a regular blackout period schedule during which directors, executive officers, employees,
and other covered persons may not trade in our securities, as well as certain pre-clearance procedures that directors and executive officers must observe prior to effecting any
transaction in our securities.
 
We believe that the insider trading policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards applicable to us.
A copy of the insider trading policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
 
None of our executive officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive
officers serving on our board of directors.
 
ITEM 11 – EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
Compensation Philosophy and Practices
 

We believe that the performance of our executive officers significantly impacts our ability to achieve our corporate goals. We, therefore, place considerable importance on the
design and administration of our executive officer compensation program. This program is intended to enhance stockholder value by attracting, motivating and retaining
qualified individuals to perform at the highest levels and to contribute to our growth and success. Our executive officer compensation program is designed to provide
compensation opportunities that are tied to individual and corporate performance.
 
Our compensation packages are also designed to be competitive in our industry. The Compensation Committee from time-to-time consults with other advisors in designing our
compensation program, including in evaluating the competitiveness of individual compensation packages and in relation to our corporate goals.
 
Our overall compensation philosophy has been to pay our executive officers an annual base salary and to provide opportunities, through cash and equity incentives, to provide
higher compensation if certain key performance goals are satisfied.
 
The main principles of our fiscal year 2024 compensation strategy included the following:
 
 
●
An emphasis on pay for performance. A significant portion of our executive officers’ total compensation is variable and at risk and tied directly to measurable
performance, which aligns the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders;
 
●
Performance results are linked to Company and individual performance. When looking at performance over the year, we equally weigh individual performance as
well as that of the Company as a whole. Target annual compensation is positioned to allow for above-median compensation to be earned through an executive
officer’s and the Company’s extraordinary performance; and
 
●
Equity as a key component to align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders. Our Compensation Committee continues to believe that keeping
executives interests aligned with those of our stockholders is critical to driving toward achievement of long-term goals of both our stockholders and the Company.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table
 
Executive Employment Agreements
 
Messrs. Londoner, Chaussy, Buhaly, Sieckhaus and Fleming were at-will employees, and do not have employment agreements with us. Additionally, we do not have any
agreements that would provide for payment to any of Messrs. Londoner, Chaussy, Sieckhaus or Fleming following, or in connection with the resignation, retirement, or other
termination of any of them, a change of control of us, or a change in either of their responsibilities following a change of control of us.
 
On February 2, 2023, we entered into a General Release and Severance Agreement (the “Release Agreement”) with Mr. Chaussy, pursuant to which Mr. Chaussy’s employment
with the Company will terminate at such point when his services are no longer required (the “Separation Date”). On July 26, 2024, the Company paid $25,000 in cash and
issued and aggregate of 112,500 shares of its common stock as a full settlement of the General Release and Severance Agreement dated January 29, 2023 by and between Steve
Chaussy and BioSig Technologies, Inc. (the “Severance Agreement”). The Company granted 12,500 shares of the afore mentioned common stock in 2023 (the Tranche B
Awarded Shares) but was only issued as part of the settlement. Pursuant to the original Severance Agreement, the Company was to pay a cash bonus of $200,000 to Steve
Chaussy. For more detailed discussion of the Release Agreement, please see below under “Executive Employment Agreements – Steve Chaussy” in this Form 10-K.
 
Anthony Amato
 
On September 11, 2024, the Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement (the “Executive Agreement”) which became effective August 1, 2024, by and between
the Company and Mr. Amato (the “Executive”).
 
Under the Executive Agreement, effective August 1, 2024, the Executive receives a base salary of $300,000 annually and is eligible for a discretionary bonus equal to 60% of
this salary. On September 11, 2024, the Executive was granted stock options for 2,400,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.4479 per share, with half immediately vested and
the remainder vesting biannually over four years. Additionally, the Executive received 275,000 fully vested restricted shares and another 1,275,000 restricted shares vesting
biannually over three years. The Executive remains eligible for additional equity grants and benefits.
 
Mr. Amato’s salary and stock awards were determined by the Compensation Committee with consultation from members of the board of directors.

Retirement Plans
 
As part of our overall compensation program, we provided all full-time employees, including our named executive officers, with the opportunity to participate in a defined
contribution 401(k) plan. Our 401(k) plan is intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code so that employee pre-tax contributions and income earned on
such contributions are not taxable to employees until withdrawn. Employees may elect to defer up to 100 percent of their eligible compensation (not to exceed the statutorily
prescribed annual limit) in the form of elective deferral contributions to our 401(k) plan. Our 401(k) plan also has a “catch-up contribution” feature for employees aged 50 or
older (including those who qualify as “highly compensated” employees) who can defer amounts over the statutory limit that applies to all other employees. As of February 29,
2024 this benefit was terminated.
 
Employee Benefits and Perquisites
 
Along with all other full-time employees, Messrs. Londoner, Chaussy, Sieckhaus and Fleming were eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans which were comprised
of medical, vision, life, and dental insurance benefits and an FSA and HSA plan. As of February 29, 2024 these benefits were terminated.
 
Pursuant to the Release Agreement described above, Mr. Chaussy had continued participation through the Separation Date in our previous employee benefit plans in which Mr.
Chaussy had elected to participate and in accordance with the terms and conditions of such benefit plans.
 
No Tax Gross-Ups
 
We do not make gross-up payments to cover our executives’ personal income taxes that may pertain to any of the compensation paid by us.
 
Policy on the Timing of Awards of Options and Other Option-Like Instruments
 
The board of directors approves with the recommendation of the compensation committee to grant equity awards based on performance. The board of directors has not
established policies and practices (whether written or otherwise) regarding the timing of option grants or other awards in relation to the release of material non-public
information (“MNPI”) and does not take MNPI into account when determining the timing and terms of stock option or other equity awards to executive officers. The Company
does not time the disclosure of MNPI, whether positive or negative, for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

BioSig Technologies, Inc. 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan
 
Purpose. The purpose of the 2023 Plan is to enable us to remain competitive and innovative in our ability to attract and retain the services of key employees, key contractors,
and outside directors of the Company and our subsidiaries. The 2023 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation
rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights, other awards, performance goals, and tandem awards which may be
granted singly or in combination, or in tandem, and that may be paid in cash, shares of our Common Stock, or other consideration, or any combination thereof. The 2023 Plan is
expected to provide flexibility to our compensation methods in order to adapt the compensation of our key employees, key contractors, and outside directors to a changing
business environment, after giving due consideration to competitive conditions and the impact of applicable tax laws.
 
Effective Date and Expiration. The 2023 Plan was approved by our Board on December 27, 2022 (the “Effective Date”) and approved by our stockholders at a special meeting
held on February 7, 2023, and amended effective December 31, 2024. The 2023 Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated by
our Board. No award may be granted under the 2023 Plan after its termination date, but awards made prior to the termination date may extend beyond that date in accordance
with their terms.
 
Share Authorization. Subject to certain adjustments, the maximum aggregate number of shares of our Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards under the 2023
Plan is currently 4,376,595 shares, plus any Prior Plan Awards (as defined below), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances to prevent dilution or enlargement as described
below. All of the shares available for issuance as an award under the 2023 Plan may be delivered pursuant to incentive stock options. “Prior Plan Awards” means (i) any awards
granted pursuant to the BioSig Technologies, Inc. 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan or the BioSig Technologies, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan that are outstanding on the
Effective Date and that, on or after the Effective Date, (x) expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised in full or without Common Stock being issued pursuant
to such awards, (y) are forfeited, or (z) are repurchased by us.
 
Shares to be issued under the 2023 Plan may be made available from authorized but unissued shares of our Common Stock, Common Stock held in our treasury, or shares
purchased by us on the open market or otherwise. During the term of the 2023 Plan, we will at all times reserve and keep enough shares available to satisfy the requirements of
the 2023 Plan. Shares underlying awards granted under the 2023 Plan that expire or are forfeited, or terminated without being exercised, or awards that are settled for cash, will
again be available for the grant of additional awards within the limits provided by in the 2023 Plan. If previously acquired shares of Common Stock are delivered to the
Company in full or partial payment of the exercise price for the exercise of a stock option granted under the 2023 Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock available for
future awards under the 2023 Plan shall be reduced only by the net number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the stock option. Awards that may be satisfied
either by the issuance of shares of Common Stock or by cash or other consideration shall be counted against the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be
issued under the 2023 Plan only during the period that the award is outstanding or to the extent the award is ultimately satisfied by the issuance of shares. An award will not
reduce the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the 2023 Plan if the settlement of the award will not require the issuance of shares, such as, for example, SARs that
can only be satisfied by the payment of cash. Only shares forfeited back to the us or shares canceled on account of termination, expiration or lapse of an award, shares
surrendered in payment of the exercise price of a stock option or shares withheld for payment of applicable employment taxes and/or withholding obligations resulting from the
exercise of an option shall again be available for grant as incentive stock options under the 2023 Plan, but shall not increase the maximum number of shares that may be
delivered pursuant to incentive stock options.
 
Administration. Under the terms of the 2023 Plan, the 2023 Plan will be administered by our Board or such committee of the Board as is designated by the Board to administer
the 2023 Plan (the “Committee”), which, to the extent necessary to satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), shall consist entirely of two or more “outside directors” as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. At any time there is no Committee to administer
the 2023 Plan, any reference to the Committee is a reference to our Board. The Committee will determine the persons to whom awards are to be made; determine the type, size,
and terms of awards; interpret the 2023 Plan; establish and revise rules and regulations relating to the 2023 Plan and any sub-plans (including sub-plans for awards made to
participants who do not reside in the United States); establish performance goals applicable to awards and certify the extent of their achievement; and make any other
determinations that it believes are necessary for the administration of the 2023 Plan. The Committee may delegate certain of its duties to one or more of our officers as provided
in the 2023 Plan.
 
71

 
 
Eligibility. The 2023 Plan provides for awards to the outside directors, officers, employees, and contractors of the Company and our subsidiaries. As of April 14, 2025, there
were 5 employees, 4 directors, and approximately 2 consultants eligible to participate in the 2023 Plan. The Company’s current Section 16 executive officers and each member
of our Board are among the individuals eligible to receive awards under the 2023 Plan.
 
Stock Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of the 2023 Plan, options to purchase shares of our Common Stock may be granted to eligible individuals at any time and
from time to time as determined by the Committee. Stock options may be granted as incentive stock options, which are intended to qualify for favorable treatment to the
recipient under federal tax law, or as nonqualified stock options, which do not qualify for such favorable tax treatment. Subject to the limits provided in the 2023 Plan, the
Committee determines the number of stock options granted to each recipient. Each stock option grant will be evidenced by a stock option agreement that specifies the stock
option’s exercise price, whether the stock options are intended to be incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options, the duration of the stock options, the number of
shares to which the stock options pertain, and such additional limitations, terms, and conditions as the Committee may determine.
 
The Committee determines the exercise price for each stock option granted, except that the exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of our
Common Stock on the date of grant; provided, however, that if an incentive stock option is granted to an employee who owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the
combined voting power of all classes of our Common Stock (or of any parent or subsidiary), the exercise price must be at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of our
Common Stock on the date of grant. All stock options granted under the 2023 Plan will expire no later than ten years (or, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to an
employee who owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our Common Stock (or of any parent or subsidiary), five years) from
the date of grant. Stock options are nontransferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, in the case of nonqualified stock options, as otherwise expressly
permitted by the Committee. The granting of a stock option does not accord the recipient the rights of a stockholder, and such rights accrue only after the exercise of a stock
option and the registration of shares of our Common Stock in the recipient’s name.
 
Stock Appreciation Rights. The 2023 Plan authorizes the Committee to grant SARs, either as a separate award or in connection with a stock option. A SAR entitles the holder to
receive from us, upon exercise, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate fair market value of a specified number of shares of our Common Stock to which such
SAR pertains over the aggregate exercise price for the underlying shares. The exercise price of a SAR shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of our
Common Stock on the date of grant.
 
Each SAR will be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the exercise price, the number of shares to which the SAR pertains, and such additional limitations, terms,
and conditions as the Committee may determine. We may make payment of the amount to which the participant exercising SARs is entitled by delivering shares of our
Common Stock, cash, or a combination of stock and cash as set forth in the award agreement relating to the SARs. SARs are not transferable except as expressly permitted by
the Committee.
 
Restricted Stock. The 2023 Plan provides for the award of shares of our Common Stock that are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on transferability as set forth in the 2023
Plan, the applicable award agreement, and as may be otherwise determined by the Committee. Except for these restrictions and any others imposed by the Committee, upon the
grant of restricted stock, the recipient will have rights of a stockholder with respect to the restricted stock, including the right to vote the restricted stock and to receive all
dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to the restricted stock on such terms as will be set forth in the applicable award agreement; provided, however, such
dividends or distributions may, if provided in the applicable award agreement, be withheld by us for a participant’s account until the restrictions lapse with respect to such
restricted stock. During the restriction period set by the Committee, the recipient may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, or otherwise encumber the restricted stock.
 
72

 
 
Restricted Stock Units. The 2023 Plan authorizes the Committee to grant restricted stock units. Restricted stock units are not shares of our Common Stock and do not entitle the
recipients to the rights of a stockholder, although the award agreement may provide for rights with respect to dividends or dividend equivalents. The recipient may not sell,
transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber restricted stock units granted under the 2023 Plan prior to their vesting. Restricted stock units will be settled in shares of our Common
Stock, in an amount based on the fair market value of our Common Stock on the settlement date. If the right to receive dividends on restricted stock units is awarded, then, if
provided in the applicable award agreement, such dividends may be withheld by us for a participant’s account until the restrictions lapse with respect to such restricted stock
units.
 
Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Committee may grant a dividend equivalent right either as a component of another award or as a separate award. The terms and conditions of
the dividend equivalent right will be specified by the grant and, when granted as a component of another award, may have terms and conditions different from such other
award. Dividend equivalent rights granted as a separate award also may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional Common Stock. Any such
reinvestment will be at the fair market value at the time thereof. Dividend equivalent rights may be settled in cash or Common Stock.
 
Performance Awards. The Committee may grant performance awards payable at the end of a specified performance period in cash, shares of Common Stock, or other rights
based upon, payable in, or otherwise related to our Common Stock. Payment will be contingent upon achieving pre-established performance goals (as described below) by the
end of the applicable performance period. The Committee will determine the length of the performance period, the maximum payment value of an award, and the minimum
performance goals required before payment will be made, so long as such provisions are not inconsistent with the terms of the 2023 Plan, and to the extent an award is subject
to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), are in compliance with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any
applicable regulations or authoritative guidance issued thereunder. In certain circumstances, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that the amount payable with
respect to certain performance awards will be reduced from the maximum amount of any potential awards. If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the
established performance measures or objectives are no longer suitable because of a change in our business, operations, corporate structure, or for other reasons that the
Committee deems satisfactory, the Committee may modify the performance measures or objectives and/or the performance period.
 
Performance Goals. The 2023 Plan provides that performance goals may be established by the Committee in connection with the grant of any award under the 2023 Plan. Such
goals shall be based on the attainment of specified levels of one or more business criteria, which may include, without limitation: cash flow; cost; revenues; sales; ratio of debt
to debt plus equity; net borrowing, credit quality or debt ratings; profit before tax; economic profit; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization; gross margin; earnings per share (whether on a pre-tax, after-tax, operational or other basis); operating earnings; capital expenditures; expenses
or expense levels; economic value added; ratio of operating earnings to capital spending or any other operating ratios; free cash flow; net profit; net sales; net asset value per
share; the accomplishment of mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, public offerings or similar extraordinary business transactions; sales growth; price of our Common Stock;
return on assets, equity or stockholders’ equity; market share; inventory levels, inventory turn or shrinkage; total return to stockholders; or any other criteria determined by the
Committee, in each case with respect to the Company or any one or more of our subsidiaries, divisions, business units, or business segments, either in absolute terms or relative
to the performance of one or more other companies (including an index covering multiple companies).
 
Other Awards. The Committee may grant other forms of awards, based upon, payable in, or that otherwise relate to, in whole or in part, shares of our Common Stock, if the
Committee determines that such other form of award is consistent with the purpose and restrictions of the 2023 Plan. The terms and conditions of such other form of award
shall be specified in the grant. Such other awards may be granted for no cash consideration, for such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law, or for such
other consideration as may be specified in the grant.
 
Vesting of Awards; Forfeiture; Assignment. Except as otherwise provided below, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that an award will be immediately vested,
in whole or in part, or that all or any portion may not be vested until a date, or dates, subsequent to its date of grant, or until the occurrence of one or more specified events,
subject in any case to the terms of the 2023 Plan.
 
73

 
 
The Committee may impose on any award, at the time of grant or thereafter, such additional terms and conditions as the Committee determines, including terms requiring
forfeiture of awards in the event of a participant’s termination of service. The Committee will specify the circumstances under which performance awards may be forfeited in
the event of a termination of service by a participant prior to the end of a performance period or settlement of awards. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee,
restricted stock will be forfeited upon a participant’s termination of service during the applicable restriction period.
 
Awards granted under the 2023 Plan generally are not assignable or transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, except that the Committee may, in its
discretion and pursuant to the terms of an award agreement, permit transfers of nonqualified stock options or SARs to: (i) the spouse (or former spouse), children, or
grandchildren of the participant (“Immediate Family Members”); (ii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members; (iii) a partnership in which
the only partners are (a) such Immediate Family Members and/or (b) entities that are controlled by the participant and/or his or her Immediate Family Members; (iv) an entity
exempt from federal income tax pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Code or any successor provision; or (v) a split interest trust or pooled income fund described in Section
2522(c)(2) of the Code or any successor provision, provided that (x) there shall be no consideration for any such transfer, (y) the applicable award agreement pursuant to which
such nonqualified stock options or SARs are granted must be approved by the Committee and must expressly provide for such transferability, and (z) subsequent transfers of
transferred nonqualified stock options or SARs shall be prohibited except those by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
 
Change in Control. In connection with a change in control, outstanding awards may be converted into new awards, exchanged or substituted for with new awards, or canceled
for no consideration, provided participants were given notice and an opportunity to purchase or exercise such awards, or cancelled and cashed out based on the positive
difference between the per share amount to be received in connection with the transaction and the purchase/exercise price per share of the award, if any. The description of a
change in control and its effects on awards granted under the 2023 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the relevant terms and provisions of the 2023 Plan, which is
attached as Annex A to our Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on December 29, 2022.
 
Recoupment for Restatements. The Company may recoup all or any portion of any shares of our Common Stock or cash paid to a participant in connection with an award, in the
event of a restatement of our financial statements as set forth in our clawback policy as may be in effect from time to time.
 
Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of our Common Stock, other securities, or
other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, rights offering, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, split-off, combination, subdivision,
repurchase, or exchange of shares of our Common Stock or other securities, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares of our Common Stock or other securities, or
other similar corporate transaction or event affects the fair market value of an award, the Committee shall adjust any or all of the following so that the fair market value of the
award immediately after the transaction or event is equal to the fair market value of the award immediately prior to the transaction or event: (i) the number of shares and type of
Common Stock (or other securities or property) that thereafter may be made the subject of awards; (ii) the number of shares and type of Common Stock (or other securities or
property) subject to outstanding awards; (iii) the exercise price of each outstanding stock option; (iv) the amount, if any, we pay for forfeited shares in accordance with the
terms of the 2023 Plan; and (v) the number of or exercise price of shares then subject to outstanding SARs previously granted and unexercised under the 2023 Plan, to the
extent that the same proportion of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock in each instance shall remain subject to exercise at the same aggregate exercise price;
provided, however, that the number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to any award shall always be a whole number. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no such adjustment shall be made or authorized to the extent that such adjustment would cause the 2023 Plan or any stock option to violate Section 422 of the Code
or Section 409A of the Code. All such adjustments must be made in accordance with the rules of any securities exchange, stock market, or stock quotation system to which we
are subject.
 
Amendment or Discontinuance of the 2023 Plan. Our Board may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of participants, alter, amend, revise, suspend, or
discontinue the 2023 Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that (i) no amendment that requires stockholder approval in order for the 2023 Plan and any awards under the
2023 Plan to continue to comply with Sections 421 and 422 of the Code (including any successors to such sections or other applicable law) or any applicable requirements of
any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which our Common Stock is listed or traded, shall be effective unless such amendment is approved by the requisite
vote of our stockholders entitled to vote on the approval of the 2023 Plan; and (ii) unless required by law, no action by our Board regarding amendment or discontinuance of the
2023 Plan may adversely affect any rights of any participants or obligations of the Company to any participants with respect to any outstanding awards under the 2023 Plan
without the consent of the affected participant.
 
74

 
 
Repricing of Stock Options or SARs. The Committee may not “reprice” any stock option or SAR without stockholder approval. For purposes of the 2023 Plan, “reprice” means
any of the following or any other action that has the same effect: (a) amending a stock option or SAR to reduce its exercise price; (b) canceling a stock option or SAR at a time
when its exercise price exceeds the fair market value of a share of our Common Stock in exchange for cash or a stock option, SAR, award of restricted stock, or other equity
award; or (c) taking any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles, provided that nothing will prevent the Committee from (x)
making adjustments to awards upon changes in capitalization, (y) exchanging or cancelling awards upon a merger, consolidation, or recapitalization, or (z) substituting awards
for awards granted by other entities, to the extent permitted by the 2023 Plan.
 
ViralClear Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan
 
On September 24, 2019, the board of directors (the “ViralClear Board”) of ViralClear approved the ViralClear Plan, subject to stockholder approval, which provides for the
grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, and restricted stock units to key employees, key contractors,
and outside directors of ViralClear, to be granted from time to time as determined by the ViralClear Board or its designee. An aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of the ViralClear
common stock are reserved for issuance under the ViralClear Plan. The material features of the ViralClear Plan are described below.
 
Purpose. The purpose of the ViralClear Plan is to enable ViralClear to attract and retain the services of key employees, key contractors, and outside directors of ViralClear and
its subsidiaries and to provide such persons with a proprietary interest in ViralClear. The ViralClear Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock
options, SARs, restricted stock, and restricted stock units, which may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem; which may be paid in cash, shares of common stock, or a
combination of cash and shares of common stock, as described in more detail below; and which will increase the interest of such persons in ViralClear’s welfare, furnish an
incentive to such persons to continue their services for ViralClear or its subsidiaries, and provide a means through which ViralClear may attract able persons as employees,
contractors, and outside directors.
 
Effective Date and Expiration. The ViralClear Plan became effective on September 24, 2019 and will continue in effect for a term of 10 years, unless earlier terminated by the
ViralClear Board.
 
Share Authorization. Subject to certain adjustments, the maximum aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards under the
ViralClear Plan is currently 4,000,000 shares, 100% of which may be delivered pursuant to incentive stock options.
 
Shares to be issued may be made available from authorized but unissued common stock, common stock held by ViralClear in its treasury, or common stock purchased by
ViralClear on the open market or otherwise. During the term of the ViralClear Plan, ViralClear will at all times reserve and keep available the number of shares of common
stock sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the ViralClear Plan. If an award under the ViralClear Plan is forfeited, expires, or is canceled, in whole or in part, then the number
of shares of common stock covered by the award or stock option so forfeited, expired, or canceled may again be awarded pursuant to the provisions of the ViralClear Plan. In
the event that previously acquired shares of common stock are delivered to ViralClear in full or partial payment of the exercise price for the exercise of a stock option granted
under the ViralClear Plan, the number of shares of common stock available for future awards under the ViralClear Plan shall be reduced only by the net number of shares of
common stock issued upon the exercise of the stock option. Awards that may be satisfied either by the issuance of shares of common stock or by cash or other consideration
shall be counted against the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the ViralClear Plan only during the period that the award is outstanding or
to the extent the award is ultimately satisfied by the issuance of shares of common stock. Awards will not reduce the number of shares of common stock that may be issued
pursuant to the ViralClear Plan if the settlement of the award will not require the issuance of shares of common stock, as, for example, a SAR that can be satisfied only by the
payment of cash. Notwithstanding any provisions of the ViralClear Plan to the contrary, only shares forfeited back to ViralClear, shares canceled on account of termination,
expiration or lapse of an award, shares surrendered in payment of the exercise price of a stock option or shares withheld for payment of applicable employment taxes and/or
withholding obligations resulting from the exercise of an option shall again be available for grant of incentive stock options under the ViralClear Plan, but shall not increase the
maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards under the ViralClear Plan as the maximum number of shares of common stock that may
be delivered pursuant to incentive stock options.
 
75

 
 
Administration. The ViralClear Plan may be administered by our ViralClear Board or such committee of the ViralClear Board as is designated by it to administer the ViralClear
Plan (the “Committee”). The ViralClear Board or the Committee will determine and designate the persons to whom awards are to be made and set forth the award period, date
of grant, terms, provisions, limitations, and performance requirements of awards. The Committee will determine whether an award shall include one type of equity incentive,
two or more equity incentives granted in combination, or two or more equity incentives granted in tandem. The ViralClear Board may authorize one or more officers of
ViralClear to designate one or more employees as eligible persons to whom nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, or SARs will be granted under the ViralClear
Plan and determine the number of shares of common stock that will be subject to such stock options, incentive stock options, or SARs. The Committee will interpret the
ViralClear Plan and award agreements; prescribe, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations, as necessary or appropriate for the administration of the ViralClear Plan; and
establish performance goals for an award and certify the action as it deems necessary or advisable in the administration of the ViralClear Plan. The Committee may delegate to
officers of ViralClear the authority to perform specified functions under the ViralClear Plan. With respect to restrictions in the ViralClear Plan that are based on the
requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the rules of any exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which
ViralClear’s securities are listed or quoted, or any other applicable law, to the extent that any such restrictions are no longer required by applicable law, the Committee shall
have the sole discretion and authority to grant awards that are not subject to such mandated restrictions and/or to waive any such mandated restrictions with respect to
outstanding awards. Subject to the provisions of the ViralClear Plan, the ViralClear Board and Committee’s decisions, determinations, and interpretations will be final, binding,
and conclusive on all ViralClear Plan participants and any other award holders.
 
Eligibility. Employees (including any employee who is also a director or an officer), contractors, and outside directors of ViralClear whose judgment, initiative, and efforts
contributed to, or may be expected to contribute to, the successful performance of ViralClear are eligible to participate in the ViralClear Plan, provided that only employees of a
corporation shall be eligible to receive incentive stock options.
 
Grant of Awards. The grant of an award shall be authorized by the Committee and shall be evidenced by an award agreement setting forth the applicable award being granted;
the total number of shares or units to be granted; the price to be paid, if any; the award period; the date of grant; and such other terms, provisions, limitations, and performance
objectives, as are approved by the Committee. The Company shall execute an award agreement with a participant after the Committee approves the issuance of an award. Any
award granted pursuant to the ViralClear Plan must be granted within 10 years of the date of adoption of the ViralClear Plan by the ViralClear Board. The ViralClear Plan shall
be submitted to ViralClear’s stockholders for approval; however, the Committee may grant awards under the ViralClear Plan prior to the time of stockholder approval. Any such
award granted prior to such stockholder approval shall be made subject to such stockholder approval. The grant of an award to a participant shall not be deemed either to entitle
the participant to, or to disqualify the participant from, receipt of any other award under the ViralClear Plan. If the Committee establishes a purchase price for an award, the
participant must accept such award within a period of 30 days (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify) after the date of grant by executing the applicable award
agreement and paying such purchase price. Any award under the ViralClear Plan that is settled in whole or in part in cash on a deferred basis may provide for interest
equivalents to be credited with respect to such cash payment. Interest equivalents may be compounded and shall be paid upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by
the grant.
 
76

 
 
Stock Options. The Committee may grant either incentive stock options, qualifying under Section 422 of the Code, or nonqualified stock options, provided that only employees
of ViralClear are eligible to receive incentive stock options. The option price for any share of common stock which may be purchased under a nonqualified stock option for any
share of common stock must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of such share on the date of grant. The option price for any share of common stock which may be
purchased under an incentive stock option must be at least equal to the fair market value of such share on the date of grant. If an incentive stock option is granted to an
employee who owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of ViralClear (or any parent or subsidiary), the option price shall
be at least 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. No dividends may be paid or granted with respect to any stock option. No stock option shall
be granted with a term of greater than 10 years from its date of grant; however, if an employee owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the combined voting power of all
classes of stock of ViralClear (or any parent or subsidiary), and an incentive stock option is granted to such employee, the term of such incentive stock option shall be no more
than five years from the date of grant. The Committee may not grant incentive stock options under the ViralClear Plan to any employee that would permit the aggregate fair
market value (determined on the date of grant) of the common stock with respect to which incentive stock options (under the ViralClear Plan and any other plan of ViralClear
and its subsidiaries) are exercisable for the first time by such employee during any calendar year to exceed $100,000. To the extent any stock option granted under the
ViralClear Plan that is designated as an incentive stock option exceeds this limit or otherwise fails to qualify as an incentive stock option, such stock option (or any such portion
thereof) shall be a nonqualified stock option. In such case, the Committee shall designate which stock will be treated as incentive stock option stock by causing the issuance of
a separate stock certificate and identifying such stock as incentive stock option stock on ViralClear’s stock transfer records.
 
If a stock option is exercisable prior to the time it is vested, the common stock obtained on the exercise of the stock option shall be restricted stock that is subject to the
applicable provisions of the ViralClear Plan and the award agreement. If the Committee imposes conditions upon exercise, then subsequent to the date of grant, the Committee
may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the date on which all or any portion of the stock option may be exercised. No stock option may be exercised for a fractional share of
common stock. The granting of a stock option shall impose no obligation upon the participant to exercise that stock option. The Committee will determine the manner in which
recipients of stock options may pay the option exercise price, which may include payment by cash or check, bank draft, or money order payable to the order of ViralClear; by
delivery of common stock owned by the participant on the exercise date, valued at its fair market value on the exercise date, and which the participant has not acquired from
ViralClear within six months prior to the exercise date; by delivery (including by FAX or electronic transmission) to ViralClear or its designated agent of an executed
irrevocable option exercise form (or, to the extent permitted by ViralClear, exercise instructions, which may be communicated in writing, telephonically, or electronically)
together with irrevocable instructions from the participant to a broker or dealer, reasonably acceptable to ViralClear, to sell certain of the shares of common stock purchased
upon exercise of the stock option or to pledge such shares as collateral for a loan and promptly deliver to ViralClear the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay such
purchase price; by requesting ViralClear to withhold the number of shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the stock option by the number of shares of Common Stock
having an aggregate fair market value equal to the aggregate option price at the time of exercise (i.e., a cashless net exercise); and/or in any other form of valid consideration
that is acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion.
 
Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may grant SARs to any participant, either as a separate award or in connection with a stock option, and impose terms and conditions
on such SARs. A SAR may be exercised by the delivery (including by FAX) of written notice to the Committee setting forth the number of shares of common stock with
respect to which the SAR is to be exercised and the exercise date, which shall be at least three days after giving such notice, unless an earlier time shall have been mutually
agreed upon. The grant of the SAR may provide that the holder may be paid for the value of the SAR either in cash, in shares of common stock, or a combination thereof. In the
event of the exercise of a SAR payable in shares of common stock, the holder of the SAR shall receive that number of whole shares of common stock having an aggregate fair
market value on the date of exercise equal to the value obtained by multiplying the difference between the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of exercise
over the SAR price as set forth in such SAR (or other value specified in the agreement granting the SAR), by the number of shares of common stock as to which the SAR is
being exercised, with a cash settlement to be made for any fractional shares of common stock. The SAR price for any share of common stock subject to a SAR may be equal to
or greater than the fair market value of such share on the date of grant. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may place a ceiling on the amount payable upon exercise of a
SAR, but any such limitation shall be specified at the time the SAR is granted.
 
77

 
 
Restricted Stock. Restricted stock consists of shares of our common stock that may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated and that
may be forfeited in the event of certain terminations of employment or service prior to the end of a restricted period, as specified by the Committee in the applicable award
agreement. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, remove any or all of the restrictions on such restricted stock. The Committee will set forth in the award agreement: the
number of shares of common stock awarded; the price, if any, to be paid by the participant for such restricted stock and the method of payment of the price; the time or times
within which such award may be subject to forfeiture; specified performance goals of ViralClear, a subsidiary, any division thereof or any group of employees of ViralClear, or
other criteria, which the Committee determines must be met in order to remove any restrictions (including vesting) on such award; and all other terms, limitations, restrictions,
and conditions applicable to the restricted stock.
 
Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units are the right to receive shares of common stock, cash, or a combination thereof at a future date in accordance with the terms of
such grant upon the attainment of certain conditions specified by the Committee, which include a substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on their sale or other transfer by
the participant. Restricted stock units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee determines, including, without limitation, a prohibition against sale, assignment,
transfer, pledge, hypothecation, or other encumbrance for a specified period of time or a requirement that the holder forfeit (or in the case of shares of common stock or units
sold to the participant, resell to ViralClear at cost) such shares or units in the event of termination of employment or service during the applicable period of restriction.
 
Vesting, Forfeiture, Assignment. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that an award will be immediately vested, in whole or in part, or that all or any portion
may not be vested until a date, or dates, subsequent to its date of grant, or until the occurrence of one or more specified events, subject in any case to the terms of the ViralClear
Plan. If the Committee imposes conditions upon vesting, then, except as otherwise provided below, subsequent to the date of grant, the Committee may, in its sole discretion,
accelerate the date on which all or any portion of the award may be vested.
 
The Committee may impose on any award, at the time of grant or thereafter, such additional terms and conditions as the Committee determines. Except as otherwise provided
in the particular award agreement, upon termination of service during the applicable restriction period, nonvested shares of restricted stock shall be forfeited by the participant.
 
Incentive stock options may not be transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise conveyed or encumbered other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the participant only by the participant or the participant’s legally authorized representative, and each award agreement
in respect of an incentive stock option shall so provide, except that the Committee may waive or modify such limitation that is not required for compliance with Section 422 of
the Code. Other awards granted under the ViralClear Plan generally may not be transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise conveyed or encumbered other than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its discretion, authorize all or a portion of a nonqualified stock option or
SAR to be granted to a participant on terms which permit transfer by such participant to the spouse (or former spouse), children, or grandchildren of the participant (“Immediate
Family Members”); a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members; a partnership in which the only partners are such Immediate Family Members
and/or entities which are controlled by the participant and/or Immediate Family Members; an entity exempt from federal income tax pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Code
or any successor provision; or a split interest trust or pooled income fund described in Section 2522(c)(2) of the Code or any successor provision, provided that there shall be no
consideration for any such transfer; the award agreement pursuant to which such nonqualified stock option or SAR is granted must be approved by the Committee and must
expressly provide for transferability in a manner consistent with the ViralClear Plan; and subsequent transfers of transferred nonqualified stock options or SARs shall be
prohibited except those by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Following any transfer, any such nonqualified stock option and SAR shall continue to be subject to the
same terms and conditions as were applicable to such award immediately prior to transfer. The events of termination of service shall continue to be applied with respect to the
original participant, following which the nonqualified stock options and SARs shall be exercisable or convertible by the transferee only to the extent and for the periods
specified in the applicable award agreement. The Committee and ViralClear shall have no obligation to inform any transferee of a nonqualified stock option or SAR of any
expiration, termination, lapse, or acceleration of such stock option or SAR. The Company shall have no obligation to register with any federal or state securities commission or
agency any common stock issuable or issued under a nonqualified stock option or SAR that has been transferred by a participant under the ViralClear Plan.

Capital Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, common stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock
split, reverse stock split, rights offering, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, split-off, combination, subdivision, repurchase, or exchange of common stock
or other securities of ViralClear, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase common stock or other securities of ViralClear, or other similar corporate transaction or event
affects the fair value of an award, then the Committee shall adjust any or all of the following so that the fair market value of the award immediately after the transaction or
event is equal to the fair market value of the award immediately prior to the transaction or event: the number of shares and type of common stock (or the securities or property)
which thereafter may be made the subject of awards; the number of shares and type of common stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding awards; the number
of shares and type of common stock (or other securities or property) specified as the annual per-participant limitation; the option price of each outstanding award; the amount, if
any, ViralClear pays for forfeited shares of common stock; and the number of or SAR price of shares of common stock then subject to outstanding SARs previously granted and
unexercised under the ViralClear Plan, to the end that the same proportion of ViralClear’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock in each instance shall remain subject
to exercise at the same aggregate SAR price; provided, however, that the number of shares of common stock (or other securities or property) subject to any award shall always
be a whole number. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such adjustment shall be made or authorized to the extent that such adjustment would cause the ViralClear Plan or any
stock option to violate Section 422 of the Code or Section 409A of the Code, and such adjustments shall be made in accordance with the rules of any securities exchange, stock
market, or stock quotation system to which ViralClear is subject.
 
Amendment or Discontinuance of the ViralClear Plan. The ViralClear Board may at any time and from time to time, without the consent of participants, alter, amend, revise,
suspend, or discontinue the ViralClear Plan in whole or in part, except that we will obtain stockholder approval of any ViralClear Plan amendment to the extent necessary and
desirable to comply with the requirements relating to the administration of equity-based awards under U.S. state corporate laws, U.S. federal and state securities laws, the Code,
any stock exchange or quotation system on which our common stock is listed or quoted, and the applicable laws of any foreign country or jurisdiction where awards are, or will
be, granted under the ViralClear Plan. Any amendments made shall, to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the Committee, be applicable to any outstanding awards
theretofore granted under the ViralClear Plan, notwithstanding any contrary provisions contained in any award agreement. In the event of any such amendment to the ViralClear
Plan, the holder of any award outstanding under the ViralClear Plan shall, upon request of the Committee and as a condition to the exercisability thereof, execute a conforming
amendment in the form prescribed by the Committee to any award agreement relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything contained in the ViralClear Plan to the contrary, unless
required by law, no action contemplated or permitted by the ViralClear Board or Committee for the alteration, amendment, revision, suspension, or termination of the
ViralClear Plan shall adversely affect any rights of participants or obligations of ViralClear to participants with respect to any award theretofore granted under the ViralClear
Plan without the consent of the affected participant.
 
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
 
Common Stock
 
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our voting securities as of April 14, 2025 by (i) each person known to us to beneficially own
five percent (5%) or more of any class of our voting securities; (ii) each of our named executive officers and directors; and (iii) all of our named directors and executive officers
as a group. The percentages of voting securities beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of
securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or to
direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security. Except as indicated in the footnotes to
this table, to our knowledge and subject to community property laws where applicable, each beneficial owner named in the table below has sole voting and sole investment
power with respect to all shares beneficially owned and each person’s address is c/o BioSig Technologies, Inc, 12424 Wilshire Blvd Suite 745 Los Angeles, CA 90025.
Percentage of common stock ownership is based on 24,252,482 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of April 14, 2025. Percentage of Series C Preferred Stock
ownership is based on 105 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of April 14, 2025.
 
79

 
 
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. For the purpose of calculating the number of shares beneficially owned by a stockholder and the
percentage ownership of that stockholder, shares of common stock subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within sixty (60) days of April 14,
2025 by that stockholder are deemed outstanding.

of potential activities, including, among others, conflicts of interest, self-dealing and related party transactions. Waiver of the policies set forth in this code will only be

Board, as a whole, or the Audit Committee. Absent such a review and approval process in conformity with the applicable guidelines relating to the particular transaction under
consideration, such arrangements are not permitted. All related party transactions for which disclosure is required to be provided herein were approved in accordance with our

Independent Directors
 
We are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and therefore rely on the definition of independence set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Under the Nasdaq Listing
Rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of our Board, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of
independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background,
employment, and affiliations, including family relationships, we have determined that each of Christopher A. Baer, Donald F. Browne, and Steven Abelman has no material
relationships with us that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment and is an “independent director” as that term is defined in the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

EXHIBIT 4.1
 
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
 
As of April 14, 2025, BioSig Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“we,” “our” and the “Company”) has our common stock, par value $0.001 per share registered under
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
The foregoing description is intended as a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the
“Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) and the by-laws, as amended (the “By-laws”) as currently in effect, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this Annual
Report on Form 10-K and are incorporated by reference herein.
 
Authorized Capital Stock
 
We have authorized 201,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 200,000,000 are shares of common stock and 1,000,000 are shares of “blank
check” preferred stock, of which 200 are authorized as Series A Preferred Stock, 600 are authorized as Series B Preferred Stock, 4,200 are authorized as Series C Preferred
Stock, 1,400 are authorized as Series D Preferred Stock, 1,000 are authorized as Series E Preferred Stock and 200,000 are authorized for Series F Preferred Stock. As of April
14, 2025, there were 24,252,482 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, 105 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and no shares of our Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, or Series F Junior Participating
Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. The authorized and unissued shares of common stock and the authorized and undesignated shares of preferred stock are available for
issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which our securities may be listed.
Unless approval of our stockholders is so required, our board of directors does not intend to seek stockholder approval for the issuance and sale of our common stock or
preferred stock.
 
Common Stock
 
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by stockholders. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably
dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. We have not paid any dividends since our inception, and we presently
anticipate that all earnings, if any, will be retained for development of our business. Even if we are permitted to pay cash dividends in the future, any future disposition of
dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital
requirements, and other factors.
 
Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at meetings of stockholders. The holders are not permitted to vote their shares
cumulatively. Accordingly, the stockholders of our common stock who hold, in the aggregate, more than fifty percent of the total voting rights can elect all of our directors and,
in such event, the holders of the remaining minority shares will not be able to elect any of such directors. The vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding
shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon is sufficient to authorize, affirm, ratify or consent to such act or action, except as otherwise provided by law.
 
Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights or other subscription rights, conversion rights, redemption or sinking fund provisions. Subject to the rights of the
holders of our preferred stock, upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally
available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities. There are no provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation or our By-laws that would prevent or delay a change in our control.
 
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Securities Transfer Corporation. The transfer agent’s address is 2901 N Dallas Parkway Suite 380 Plano, Texas 75093.
Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BSGM.”
 
 

 
 
Preferred Stock
 
The board of directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by the stockholders, to issue from time to time shares of
preferred stock in one or more series. Each such series of preferred stock shall have such number of shares, designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications, and special
or relative rights or privileges as shall be determined by the board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation preferences,
conversion rights and preemptive rights. Issuance of preferred stock by our board of directors may result in such shares having dividend and/or liquidation preferences senior to
the rights of the holders of our common stock and could dilute the voting rights of the holders of our common stock.
 
Series C Preferred Stock
 
Each share of the Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to a nine percent (9%) annual dividend on the $1,000 per share stated value. Unless the Series C Preferred Stock is
converted into shares of common stock, the dividends shall accrue and be payable in cash or, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, in pay-in-kind shares. Such
cumulative dividends are payable quarterly, commencing on September 30, 2013, and on each conversion date. The terms of the Series C Preferred Stock were amended on
March 27, 2014, and August 15, 2014. The description herein reflects such amended terms.
 
In the event that:
 
 
(i)
we fail to, or announce our intention not to, deliver common stock share certificates upon conversion of our Series C Preferred Stock prior to the seventh trading day
after such shares are required to be delivered,
 
 
 
 
(ii) we fail for any reason to pay in full the amount of cash due pursuant to our failure to deliver common stock share certificates upon conversion of our Series C
Preferred Stock within five calendar days after notice therefor is delivered,
 
 
 
 
(iii) we fail to have available a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of common stock to issue upon a conversion of our Series C Preferred Stock,
 
 
 
 
(iv) we fail to observe or perform any other covenant, agreement or warranty contained in, or otherwise commit any breach of our obligations under, the securities
purchase agreement, the registration rights agreement, the certificate of designation or the warrants entered into pursuant to the private placement transaction for our
Series C Preferred Stock, which failure or breach could have a material adverse effect, and such failure or breach is not cured within 30 calendar days after written
notice was delivered,
 
 
 
 
(v) we are party to a change of control transaction,
 
 
 
 
(vi) we file for bankruptcy or a similar arrangement or are adjudicated insolvent, or
 
 
 
 
(vii)we are subject to a judgment, including an arbitration award against us, of greater than $100,000, and such judgment remains unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a
period of 45 calendar days, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled, among other rights, to redeem their shares of Series C Preferred Stock at any time
for greater than their stated value or increase the dividend rate on their shares of Series C Preferred Stock to 18%.
 
In the event of our liquidation or winding up of affairs, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to a liquidation preference of the stated value plus any
accrued but unpaid dividends or any other fees due the holder. The shares of the Series C Preferred Stock rank senior to the rights of the common stock and all other securities
exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock.
 
Any holder of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled at any time to convert any whole or partial number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock at a
price of $0.5302 per share, subject to the beneficial ownership limitation described below. The Series C Preferred Stock is subject to full ratchet anti-dilution price protection
upon the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities at an effective common stock purchase price of less than $0.5302 per share as well as other customary anti-dilution
protection.
 
 

 
 
In the event we issue any equity or equity-linked securities with terms more favorable than those of the Series C Preferred Stock, any holder of the Series C Preferred Stock
may request to amend the terms of such holder’s Series C Preferred Stock to be equivalent to the terms of such issued equity or equity-linked securities, subject to certain
exempted issuances.
 
The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock vote together with the holders of our common stock on an as-converted basis but may not vote the Series C Preferred Stock in
excess of the beneficial ownership limitation of the Series C Preferred Stock. The beneficial ownership limitation is 4.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock
following such conversion or exercise, which may be increased to up to 9.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such conversion or exercise upon the
request of an individual holder. The beneficial ownership limitation is determined on an individual holder basis, such that the as-converted number of shares of one holder is not
included in the shares outstanding when calculating the limitation for a different holder. In addition, absent the approval of holders representing at least 67% of the outstanding
shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, we may not (i) increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock, (ii) amend our charter documents, including the terms of the
Series C Preferred Stock, in any manner adverse to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, including authorizing or creating any class of stock ranking senior to, or
otherwise pari passu with, the shares of Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a liquidation.
 
Delaware Anti-Takeover Law and Provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws
 
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, in general, prohibits a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder within three years of
the time such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:
 
 
●prior to such time the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an
interested stockholder;
 
   
 
●upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting
stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, exclusive of shares owned by directors who are also officers and by certain employee
stock plans; or
 
   
 
●at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized by the affirmative vote at a stockholders’ meeting of at
least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
 
The term “business combination” is defined to include, among other transactions between an interested stockholder and a corporation or any direct or indirect majority owned
subsidiary thereof: a merger or consolidation; a sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition (including as part of a dissolution) of assets having an
aggregate market value equal to 10% or more of either the aggregate market value of all assets of the corporation on a consolidated basis or the aggregate market value of all
the outstanding stock of the corporation; certain transactions that would result in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any of its stock to the interested stockholder;
certain transactions that would increase the interested stockholder’s proportionate share ownership of the stock of any class or series of the corporation or such subsidiary; and
any receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation or any
such subsidiary.
 
In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any
entity or person affiliated with, or controlling, or controlled by, the entity or person. The term “owner” is broadly defined to include any person that individually, with or
through that person’s affiliates or associates, among other things, beneficially owns the stock, or has the right to acquire the stock, whether or not the right is immediately
exercisable, under any agreement or understanding or upon the exercise of warrants or options or otherwise or has the right to vote the stock under any agreement or
understanding, or has an agreement or understanding with the beneficial owner of the stock for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the stock.
 
 

 
 
The restrictions in Section 203 do not apply to corporations that have elected, in the manner provided in Section 203, not to be subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law or, with certain exceptions, which do not have a class of voting stock that is listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000
stockholders. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws do not opt out of Section 203.
 
Section 203 could delay or prohibit mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts with respect to us and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us even
though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.
 
Provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change in our control or
change in our management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our stockholders might
otherwise deem to be in their best interests. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Among other things, our Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws:
 
 
●do not provide for cumulative voting rights (therefore allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to
elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose);
 
   
 
●provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by our board of directors, chairman, chief executive officer, president or secretary; and
 
   
 
●provide advance notice provisions with which a stockholder who wishes to nominate a director or propose other business to be considered at a stockholder meeting
must comply.
 
The Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation has the power to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a third-party action, other than a derivative action, and against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred in the defense or settlement of a derivative action, provided that there is a determination that the individual acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the individual’s conduct
was unlawful. Such determination will be made, in the case of an individual who is a director or officer at the time of such determination:
 
 
●by a majority of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum;
 
   
 
●by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum
 
   
 
●if there are no disinterested directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel; or
 
   
 
●by a majority vote of the stockholders, at a meeting at which a quorum is present.
 
Without court approval, however, no indemnification may be made in respect of any derivative action in which such individual is adjudged liable to the corporation.
 
The Delaware General Corporation Law requires indemnification of directors and officers for expenses relating to a successful defense on the merits or otherwise of a
derivative or third-party action.
 
 

 
 
The Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to advance expenses relating to the defense of any proceeding to directors and officers contingent upon such
individuals’ commitment to repay any advances unless it is determined ultimately that such individuals are entitled to be indemnified.
 
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided in the law are non-exclusive, in that, subject to public
policy issues, indemnification and advancement of expenses beyond that provided by statute may be provided by law, agreement, vote of stockholders, disinterested directors or
otherwise.
 
Limitation of Personal Liability of Directors
 
The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may include a provision limiting the personal liability of a director to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. However, no such provision can eliminate or limit the liability of a director for:
 
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that our directors will not be personally liable to us or any of our stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
 
Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to our directors, officers and persons controlling us, we have
been advised that it is the Securities and Exchange Commission’s opinion that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Section 2. Exercise.
 
a) Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and
on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered
Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy (or .pdf copy via e-mail attachment) of the Notice of
Exercise Form annexed hereto. Within five (5) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the
shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified
in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (although the Holder may surrender the
Warrant to, and receive a replacement Warrant from, the Company), the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the
Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to
the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant
resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant
Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing
the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within one (1)
Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of
this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any
given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
 
b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $5.00, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
 
c) Cashless Exercise. If at any time commencing after the Initial Exercise Date, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current
prospectus available for the resale of all of the Warrant Shares that may be acquired pursuant to this Warrant by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at
the Holder’s election, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares
equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
 
 
(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set
forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;
 
 
 
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
 
 
 
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were
by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, unless the Holder notifies the Company otherwise, if there is no effective
registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant shall be automatically
exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).

d)
Mechanics of Exercise.
 
i. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the
Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian
system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the
issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise and Rule
144 is available, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is five (5)
Trading Days after the latest of (x) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (y) surrender of this Warrant (if required) and (z) payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (including by cashless exercise, if permitted) (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). The
Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have
become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the
Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the
issuance of such shares, having been paid. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares
subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice
of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for
each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered.
 
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder
and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the
Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant
shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
 
iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing
the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right, at any time prior to issuance
of such Warrant Shares, to rescind such exercise.
 
iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the
Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares
pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an
open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a
sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in
cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to
deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was
executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such
exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy- In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common
Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the
Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the
Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to
pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the
Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
5

 
 
v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its
election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round
up to the next whole share.
 
vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or
transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company,
and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in
the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise
shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the
payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-
day processing of any Notice of Exercise.
 
vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of
this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
 
a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or
distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt,
shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by
reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of
which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section
3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become
effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
 
b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions
effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person or other entity of any kind), (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale,
lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or
indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding
Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the
Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or
property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business
combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby
such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person
or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business
combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant
Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, the number
of shares of capital stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the
“Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately
adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such
Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value
of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a
Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such
Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor
Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 3(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay)
prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity
evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital
stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard
to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such
shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such
shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant
immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the
occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental
Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may
exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with
the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
 
7

 
 
c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of
this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common
Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
 
d)
Notice to Holder.
 
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall
promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant
Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
 
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the
Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company
shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any
class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common
Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or
any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize
the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be
mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register, as defined below, of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior
to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of
record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other
property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice
or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder
shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering
such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
 
a) Transferability. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon
surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form
attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such
surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and
in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant
not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the
purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
 
b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together
with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to
compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be
dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
 
c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the
name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the
purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
 
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
 
a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the
Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).
 
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant
or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such
Warrant or stock certificate.
 
9

 
 
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not
be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
 
d)
Authorized Shares.
 
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock
a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to
execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all
such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or
regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares
which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes,
liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
issue).
 
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its
certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder as set forth in this
Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in
order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may
be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
 
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory
body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
 
10

 
 
e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal
proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of this Warrant shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York,
Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and
agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts
are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any
such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address
in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. If either party shall
commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the
other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
 
f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, or unless exercised in a
cashless exercise when Rule 144 is available, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal
securities laws .
 
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of
such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and
knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts
as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the
Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
 
h) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of
Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company,
at 54 Wilton Road, 2nd Floor, Westport, CT 06880 Attention: Steve Chaussy, email address: schaussy@biosigtech.com, or such other facsimile number, email address
or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the
Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or email, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each
Holder at the facsimile number, email address or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries
hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email at the
facsimile number or email address set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission,
if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email at the facsimile number or email address set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day
or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized
overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
 
11

 
 
i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and
no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a
stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
 
j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a
breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
 
k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and
be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended
to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
 
l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
 
m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if
any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity,
without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
 
n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

Exhibit 19.1
 
BIOSIG TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
INSIDER TRADING COMPLIANCE POLICY
 
BioSig Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) prohibits:
 
●
insider trading in the Company’s securities (“Securities”)1; and
 
●
the unauthorized disclosure of the Company’s confidential information that might enable others to engage in insider trading in the Securities.
 
The Company adopted this Insider Trading Compliance Policy to prevent insider trading. In this Insider Trading Compliance Policy, we will discuss how you must comply with
the laws against insider trading to avoid the serious penalties that could accompany a violation. We also seek to fulfill our obligation to educate and reasonably supervise the
activities of employees, officers, directors and consultants who own or trade in the Company’s stock as part of our corporate compliance program. There are severe civil and
criminal penalties associated with violations by you, your colleagues or the Company under insider trading laws. It is your obligation to review, understand and comply with
this Insider Trading Compliance Policy. Please take the time to become familiar with its content. If you have questions about the Policy or your stock ownership or trading,
please speak with Lora Mikolaitis, our Chief Administrative Officer (the “Compliance Officer”).
 
PART I. OVERVIEW
 
A.
To Whom does this Insider Trading Compliance Policy Apply?
 
This Insider Trading Compliance Policy applies to all of us, i.e., the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), officers, employees and consultants, as well as our Affiliates
(as defined below), and to multiple methods of trading in the Securities, such as purchases or sales of stock, options or other forms of equity. This Insider Trading Compliance
Policy applies not only to you but also to your “Affiliates” (as defined by the securities laws), which include:
 
●
your spouse, child, parent, significant other or other family member, in each case, living in the same household;
 
●
all trusts, family partnerships and other types of entities formed for your benefit or for the benefit of a member of your family over which you have the ability to
influence or direct investment decisions concerning securities;
 
●
all persons who execute trades on your behalf, e.g., your stockbroker; and
 
●
all investment funds, trusts, retirement plans, partnerships, corporations and other types of entities for which you have the ability to influence or direct investment
decisions concerning securities. Please note that the Insider Trading Procedures (as defined below) do not apply to entities that engage in the investment of
securities in the ordinary course of its business (e.g., mutual funds, an investment fund or partnership) if such entity has established its own insider trading
controls and procedures in compliance with applicable securities laws and an Insider has hereby represented to the Company that such Insider’s affiliated entities:
(a) engage in the investment of securities in the ordinary course of their respective businesses; (b) have established insider trading controls and procedures in
compliance with applicable securities laws; and (c) are aware such securities laws prohibit any person or entity who has material, nonpublic information
concerning the Company from purchasing or selling securities of the Company or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances
in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell securities.
 
 
1 The law defines “securities” broadly to include common stock, options to purchase common stock, any other type of securities that the Company may issue (such as preferred
stock, convertible debentures, warrants, exchange-traded options or other derivative securities), and any derivative securities that provide the economic equivalent of ownership
of any of the Company’s securities or an opportunity, direct or indirect, to profit from any change in the value of the Company’s securities.
 
 

 
 
You are responsible for ensuring compliance with this Insider Trading Compliance Policy, including the Insider Trading Procedures contained herein, by all of your Affiliates.
We recommend you obtain advice from your legal and financial advisors regarding trading in Company Securities by your Affiliates.
 
Special Procedures for Persons with Regular Access to Inside Information:
 
Members of our Board and our executive officers are deemed to have access to all “inside information” under insider trading laws. Other officers, employees and consultants
may also require regular access to “inside information” in performing their work. For this reason and for their protection, additional trading procedures apply to these directors,
officers, employees and consultants. We will notify all members of the Board, officers and designated employees and consultants (collectively, and solely for the purpose of this
Insider Trading Compliance Policy, “Insiders”) that they are subject to these additional trading procedures (the “Insider Trading Procedures”), which are set forth in Part II of
this memorandum. All Insiders must comply with these Insider Trading Procedures.
 
These Insider Trading Procedures establish trading blackout period restrictions, trading window periods, and pre-clearance requirements. Insiders covered by the Insider
Trading Procedures will be restricted from trading in the Securities during blackout periods. Additionally, Insiders covered by the Insider Trading Procedures will be required to
pre-clear all transactions in the Securities. You will be notified if you are an Insider and required to comply with the Insider Trading Procedures.
 
Post-Termination Responsibilities:
 
In the event that you leave the Company for any reason, this Insider Trading Compliance Policy, including, if applicable, the Insider Trading Procedures, will continue to apply
to you and your Affiliates until the completion of one full Trading Day (as defined below) after any material nonpublic information known to you has become public or is no
longer material. As used in this Insider Trading Compliance Policy, the term “Trading Day” shall mean a day on which the primary national securities exchange or exchanges
and/or over-the-counter market or markets on which Securities of the Company are listed or traded are open for trading.

B.
What is Prohibited by this Insider Trading Compliance Policy?
 
It is generally illegal for you to trade in the Securities of the Company, whether for your account or for the account of another, while in the possession of material, nonpublic
information about the Company or its business activities. It is also generally illegal for you to disclose material, nonpublic information about the Company or its business to
others who may trade on the basis of that information. In addition, if we receive material, non-public information from collaborators or from other companies that do business
with the Company, then these same prohibitions would apply to trading in the securities of these other companies’ securities. These illegal activities are commonly referred to as
“insider trading.”
 
When you are in possession of material, nonpublic information about the Company, whether positive or negative, you are prohibited from the following activities:
 
●
trading (whether for your account of for the account of another) in Securities, except for trades made in compliance with a valid Rule 10b5-1 trading plan2;
 
●
giving trading advice of any kind about the Company; and
 
●
disclosing such material, nonpublic information about the Company, whether positive or negative, to anyone else (commonly known as “tipping”).
 
The Insider Trading Compliance Policy prohibitions on insider trading do not apply to:
 
(1) an exercise of an employee stock option when payment of the exercise price is made solely in cash to the Company; or
 
(2) the withholding by the Company of shares of stock upon vesting of restricted stock or upon settlement of restricted stock units to satisfy applicable tax
withholding requirements if (a) such withholding is required by the applicable plan or award agreement or (b) the election to exercise such tax withholding right
was made by the Insider in compliance with the Insider Trading Procedures.
 
The Insider Trading Compliance Policy prohibitions on insider trading do apply to:
 
(1) the sale of Securities on or after the exercise of an employee stock option;
 
(2) the use of outstanding Securities to pay part or all of the exercise price of an option; and
 
(3) any sale of stock as part of a broker-assisted cashless exercise of an option or any other market sale for the purpose of generating the cash needed to pay the
exercise price of an option.
 
The above discussion is a summary; please read further below for additional details on the precise circumstances under which this Insider Trading Compliance Policy applies.
These prohibitions continue whenever and for as long as you know or are in possession of material, nonpublic information. Remember, anyone scrutinizing your transactions
will be doing so after the fact, with the benefit of hindsight, and often with access to stock trading records and your communications regarding the transactions. As a practical
matter, before engaging in any transaction, you should carefully consider how enforcement authorities and others might view the transaction in hindsight.
 
 
2 Under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, you are permitted to enter a written binding plan with your stock broker to trade in the Securities before you knew or had possession
of material, nonpublic information and certain other conditions are satisfied.

C.
What is Material, Nonpublic Information?
 
This Insider Trading Compliance Policy prohibits you from trading in the Company’s Securities if you are in possession of information about the Company or its business that
is both “material” and “nonpublic.” If you have a question whether certain information you are aware of is material or has been made public, you are encouraged to consult
with the Compliance Officer.
 
“Material” Information
 
Information about the Company is “material” if it could reasonably be expected to affect the investment or voting decisions of a stockholder or investor. Similarly, information
about the Company is “material” if its disclosure could reasonably be expected to significantly alter the total mix of information in the marketplace about the Company and
affect investor views. In simple terms, material information is any type of information that could reasonably be expected to affect the price of the Securities. Both positive and
negative information may be material. While it is not possible to identify all information that would be deemed “material,” the following items are types of information that
should be considered carefully to determine whether they are material:
 
●
program developments, regulatory or clinical status or updates, including communications with regulatory authorities, prior to issuance of a press release or public
update;
 
●
significant developments regarding collaborations, products, customers, suppliers, orders, contracts or financing sources (e.g., the acquisition or loss of a
contract);
 
●
potential collaboration discussions or information about an unannounced new collaboration, financing or other similar deals;
 
●
projections of future earnings or losses, or other earnings guidance;
 
●
earnings or revenue that are inconsistent with the consensus expectations of the investment community;
 
●
potential restatements of the Company’s financial statements, changes in auditors or auditor notification that the Company may no longer rely on an auditor’s
audit report;
 
●
pending or proposed corporate mergers, acquisitions, tender offers, joint ventures or dispositions of significant assets;
 
●
changes in senior management or the Board;
 
●
significant actual or threatened litigation or governmental investigations or major developments in such matters;
 
●
a cybersecurity incident;
 
4

 
 
●
changes in dividend policy, declarations of stock splits, or public or private sales of additional securities;
 
●
potential defaults under the Company’s credit agreements or indentures, or the existence of material liquidity deficiencies; and
 
●
bankruptcies or receiverships.
 
In some situations, the above events may not be material and in others, consultation with the Compliance Officer may help you determine that it has been publicly disclosed. In
each situation, you should carefully consider and seek advice to determine their materiality (although some determinations will be reached more easily than others). For
example, some new products or contracts may clearly be material to one company and not to a much larger company with multiple products; yet that does not mean that all
product developments or contracts will be material. This demonstrates, in our view, why no “bright-line” standard or list of items can adequately address the range of situations
that may arise. Furthermore, the Company cannot create an exclusive list of events and information that have a higher probability of being considered material. You can look to
our public press releases and SEC filings to confirm recent disclosures.
 
The SEC has stated that there is no fixed quantitative threshold amount for determining materiality, and that even very small quantitative changes can be qualitatively material
if they would result in a movement in the price of the Securities.
 
“Nonpublic” Information
 
Material information is “nonpublic” when it is not generally available to investors. The rationale is to provide all investors with an equal opportunity to access material
information when making investment decisions. To claim information is “public,” we have to be able to point to some fact that establishes that the information has become
publicly available, such as the filing of a report with the SEC, the distribution of a press release through a widely disseminated news or wire service, or by other means (such as
a pre-announced webcast presentation) that are reasonably designed to provide broad public access.
 
Information is not considered public at the moment it is disclosed. Before a person who possesses material, nonpublic information can trade, there also must be adequate time
for the market as a whole to access and absorb the information that has been disclosed. For the purposes of this Insider Trading Compliance Policy, information will be
considered public one full Trading Day after the close of the stock market following the Company’s public release of the information.
 
For example, if the Company announces material nonpublic information of which you are aware before trading begins on a Tuesday, the first time you can buy or sell Company
Securities is the opening of the market on Wednesday. However, if the Company announces this material information after trading begins on that Tuesday, the first time that you
can buy or sell Company Securities is the opening of the market on Thursday.

D.
What are the Penalties for Insider Trading and Noncompliance with this Insider Trading Compliance Policy?
 
Both the SEC and the national securities exchanges, through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), investigate and are very effective at detecting insider
trading. They have direct access to examine all trades and typically request names of employees and Insiders from Companies following a public announcement (positive or
negative) that impacts a company’s stock price to determine whether suspect insider trading has occurred. The SEC, together with the U.S. Attorneys, pursue insider trading
violations vigorously. For instance, cases have been successfully prosecuted against trading by employees in foreign accounts, trading by family members and friends, and
trading involving only a small number of shares.
 
The penalties for violating insider trading or tipping rules can be severe and include:
 
●
disgorgement of the profit gained or loss avoided by the trading;
 
●
payment of the loss suffered by the persons who purchased or sold, as applicable, securities of the same class at prices impacted by the insider trading;
 
●
payment of criminal penalties of up to $5,000,000;
 
●
payment of civil penalties of up to three times the profit made or loss avoided; and
 
●
imprisonment for up to 20 years.
 
The Company and/or the supervisors of the person engaged in insider trading may also be required to pay civil penalties of up to the greater of $1,525,000 or three times the
profit made or loss avoided, as well as criminal penalties of up to $25,000,000, and could under certain circumstances be subject to private lawsuits.
 
Violation of this Insider Trading Compliance Policy or any federal or state insider trading laws may subject the person violating such policy or laws to disciplinary action by the
Company up to and including termination. The Company reserves the right to determine, in its own discretion and on the basis of the information available to it, whether this
Insider Trading Compliance Policy has been violated. The Company may determine that specific conduct violates this Insider Trading Compliance Policy, whether or not the
conduct also violates the law. It is not necessary for the Company to await the filing or conclusion of a civil or criminal action against the alleged violator before taking
disciplinary action.
 
E.
How Do You Report a Violation of this Insider Trading Compliance Policy?
 
If you have a question about this Insider Trading Compliance Policy, including whether certain information you are aware of is material or has been made public, you are
encouraged to consult with the Compliance Officer. In addition, if you violate this Insider Trading Compliance Policy or any federal or state laws governing insider trading, or
know of any such violation by any director, officer or employee of the Company, you should report the violation immediately to the Compliance Officer.

PART II. INSIDER TRADING PROCEDURES FOR INSIDERS
 
A.
Special Trading Restrictions Applicable to Insiders
 
In addition to the restrictions on trading in Company Securities set forth above, Insiders and their Affiliates are subject to the following special trading restrictions:
 
1.
Prohibited Transactions At Any Time.
 
●
No Short Sales. No Insider may at any time sell any Securities of the Company that are not owned by such Insider at the time of the sale (a “short sale”).
 
●
No Purchases or Sales of Derivative Securities or Hedging Transactions. No Insider may buy or sell puts, calls, other derivative securities of the Company or
any derivative securities that provide the economic equivalent of ownership of any of the Company’s Securities or an opportunity, direct or indirect, to profit from
any change in the value of the Company’s Securities or engage in any other hedging transaction with respect to the Company’s Securities, at any time, with the
exception of the Company’s tradeable warrants.
 
●
No Company Securities Subject to Margin Calls. No Insider may use the Company’s Securities as collateral in a margin account.
 
●
No Pledges. No Insider may pledge Company Securities as collateral for a loan (or modify an existing pledge).
 
2.
Gifts.
 
No Insider may give or make any other transfer of Company Securities without consideration (e.g., a gift or limited partner distribution, in the case of a fund) during a period
when the Insider is not permitted to trade unless the donee agrees not to sell the shares until such time as the Insider can sell.
 
3.
Quarterly Blackout Periods
 
No Insider may trade in any Company’s Securities during the period commencing on close of business on the fifteenth (15th) calendar day before the end of each fiscal quarter
or fiscal year of the Company and ending at the close of trading on the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date the Company’s financial results for such quarter or year are
publicly disclosed. If, for example, the Company were to make a public announcement or filing of such results or on a Monday, Insiders shall not trade in the Company’s
Securities until the following Friday. During these “blackout periods,” Insiders may possess or may be presumed to possess material nonpublic information about the
Company’s financial results.
 
4.
No Trading During Retirement Plan Blackout Periods.
 
If the Company adopts a policy to allow ownership of Company stock in any 401(k) or other retirement plan of the Company, then no Insider may trade in any Company
Securities, which were acquired in connection with such Insider’s service or employment with the Company, during a “retirement plan blackout period” except as specifically
permitted below. A “retirement plan blackout period” includes any period of more than three (3) consecutive Trading Days during which at least fifty percent (50%) of all
participants and beneficiaries under all of the individual account plans maintained by the Company and members of its controlled group are prohibited from trading in
Company Securities through their plan accounts. Insiders will receive advance notice of any such blackout period from the Compliance Officer.
 
7

 
 
5.
Special Blackout Periods
 
There are times when the Company or certain members of its Board or senior management or other team members may be aware of a material, nonpublic development.
Although an Insider may not know the specifics of such development, if an Insider engages in a trade before such development is disclosed to the public or resolved, such
Insider and the Company might be exposed to a charge of insider trading that could be costly and difficult to refute. In addition, a trade by an Insider during such period could
result in adverse publicity for the Company.
 
Therefore, Insiders may not trade in Company Securities if they are notified that the trading window is closed because of the existence of a material, nonpublic development.
The Compliance Officer will subsequently notify the Insiders once the material nonpublic development is disclosed to the public or resolved and that, as a result, the trading
window is again open. While the Compliance Officer will undertake reasonable efforts to notify the Insiders that material, nonpublic events have developed, or are soon likely
to develop, it is each Insider’s individual duty to ensure that they do not make any trade in Company Securities when material, nonpublic information exists, regardless of
whether such Insider is aware of such development.
 
B.
Pre-Clearance Procedures
 
No Insider may trade in Company Securities unless the trade has been approved by the Compliance Officer in accordance with the procedures set forth below. The Compliance
Officer will review and either approve or prohibit all proposed trades by Insiders in accordance with the procedures set forth below. The Compliance Officer may consult with
the Company’s other officers and/or outside legal counsel and will receive approval for his/her own trades from each other.
 
1.
Procedures. No Insider may trade in Company Securities until:
 
●
The Insider has notified the Compliance Officer of the amount and nature of the proposed trade(s) using the Stock Transaction Request form attached to this
Insider Trading Compliance Policy. In order to provide adequate time for the preparation of any required reports under Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange
Act, as amended (“Exchange Act”), a Stock Transaction Request form should, if practicable, be received by the Compliance Officer at least two (2) Trading Days
prior to the intended trade date;
 
●
The Insider has certified to the Compliance Officer in writing prior to the proposed trade(s) that the Insider is not in possession of material, nonpublic information
concerning the Company;
 
●
The Insider has informed the Compliance Officer, using the Stock Transaction Request form attached hereto, whether, to the Insider’s best knowledge, (a) the
Insider has (or is deemed to have) engaged in any opposite way transactions within the previous six months that were not exempt from Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act and (b) if the transaction involves a sale by an “affiliate” of the Company or of “restricted securities” (as such terms are defined under Rule 144
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”)), whether the transaction meets all of the applicable conditions of Rule 144; and
 
●
The Compliance Officer has approved the trade(s) and has certified such approval in writing. Such certification may be made via digitally-signed electronic mail.
 
The Compliance Officer does not assume the responsibility for, and approval from the Compliance Officer does not protect the Insider from, the consequences of prohibited
insider trading.
 
8

 
 
2.
Additional Information.
 
Insiders shall provide to the Compliance Officer any documentation reasonably requested by him or her in furtherance of the foregoing procedures. Any failure to provide such
requested information will be grounds for denial of approval by the Compliance Officer.
 
3.
No Obligation to Approve Trades.
 
The existence of the foregoing approval procedures does not in any way obligate the Compliance Officer to approve any trade requested by an Insider. The Compliance Officer
may reject any trading request at his or her sole discretion.
 
From time to time, an event may occur that is material to the Company and is known by only a few directors or executives. Insiders may not trade in Company Securities if they
are notified by the Compliance Officer that a proposed trade has not been cleared because of the existence of a material, nonpublic development. Even if that particular Insider
is not aware of the material, nonpublic development involving the Company, if any Insider engages in a trade before a material, nonpublic development is disclosed to the
public or resolved, the Insider and the Company might be exposed to a charge of insider trading that could be costly and difficult to refute even if the Insider was unaware of
the development. So long as the event remains material and nonpublic, the Compliance Officer may determine not to approve any transactions in the Company’s Securities. The
Compliance Officer will subsequently notify the Insider once the material, nonpublic development is disclosed to the public or resolved. If an Insider requests clearance to trade
in the Company’s Securities during the pendency of such an event, the Compliance may reject the trading request without disclosing the reason.
 
4.
Completion of Trades.
 
After receiving written clearance to engage in a trade signed by the Compliance Officer, an Insider must complete the proposed trade within two (2) Trading Days or make a
new trading request.
 
5.
Post-Trade Reporting.
 
Any transactions in the Company’s Securities by an Insider (including transactions effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 Plan) must be reported to the Compliance Officer by
completing the “Confirmation of Transaction” section of the Stock Transaction Request form attached to this Insider Trading Compliance Policy on the same day in which such
a transaction occurs. Each report an Insider makes to the Compliance Officer should include the date of the transaction, quantity of shares, price and broker-dealer through
which the transaction was effected. This reporting requirement may be satisfied by sending (or having such Insider’s broker send) duplicate confirmations of trades to the
Compliance Officer if such information is received by the Compliance Officer on or before the required date. Compliance by directors and executive officers with this provision
is imperative given the requirement of Section 16 of the Exchange Act that these persons generally must report changes in ownership of the Securities within two business days.
The sanctions for noncompliance with this reporting deadline include mandatory disclosure in the Company’s proxy statement for the next annual meeting of stockholders, as
well as possible civil or criminal sanctions for chronic or egregious violators.
 
9

 
 
PART IV. EXEMPTIONS FROM INSIDER TRADING RESTRICTIONS (ALL DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS)
 
A.
Pre-Approved Rule 10b5-1 Plan.
 
The securities law permits establishment of trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act that allow for persons to authorize, at a time when they are not in possession
of material, nonpublic information, future trading. Under a compliant 10b5-1 Plan, a trade will not be subject to the Company’s trading windows, retirement plan blackout
periods or pre-clearance procedures, and Insiders are not required to complete a Stock Transaction Request form for such transactions.
 
If an Insider intends to trade pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 Plan, such plan, arrangement or instruction must:
 
●
satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b5-1;
 
●
be documented in writing;
 
●
be established during a trading window when such Insider does not possess material, nonpublic information; and
 
●
be pre-approved by the Compliance Officer
 
Any deviation from, or alteration to, the specifications of an approved Rule 10b5-1 Plan (including, without limitation, the amount, price or timing of a purchase or sale) must
be reported immediately to the Compliance Officer. Any transaction pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 Plan must be timely reported following the transaction in accordance with the
procedures set forth above.
 
The Compliance Officer may refuse to approve a Rule 10b5-1 Plan as he or she deems appropriate including, without limitation, if he or she determines that such plan does not
satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b5-1.
 
Any modification of an Insider’s prior Rule 10b5-1 Plan requires pre-approval by the Compliance Officer. A modification must occur during a trading window and while such
Insider is not aware of material, nonpublic information.
 
10

 
 
B.
Employee Benefit Plans.
 
Exercise of Stock Options. The trading prohibitions and Insider Trading Procedures do not apply to the exercise of a stock option to purchase securities of the Company when
payment of the exercise price is solely made in cash and the Securities are held, not sold. The trading prohibitions and Insider Trading Procedures do apply to:
 
●
the same day or subsequent sale of the Securities acquired on the exercise of a stock option;
 
●
the use of outstanding Securities to pay part or all of the exercise price of an option;
 
●
any net option exercise;
 
●
any exercise of a stock appreciation right;
 
●
share withholding;
 
●
any sale of stock as part of a broker-assisted cashless exercise of an option; or
 
●
any other market sale for the purpose of generating the cash needed to pay the exercise price of an option.
 
For directors and executive officers subject to the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the exercise of an option to purchase securities of the Company (and any
subsequent sale) each triggers the obligation to file a Form 4 within two days. For this reason, Insiders must comply with the post-trade reporting requirement described in
Section C above for any such transaction.
 
Tax Withholding on Restricted Stock/Units. The trading prohibitions and restrictions set forth in the Insider Trading Procedures do not apply to the withholding by the
Company of shares of stock upon vesting of restricted stock or upon settlement of restricted stock units to satisfy applicable tax withholding requirements if (a) such
withholding is required by the applicable plan or award agreement or (b) the election to exercise such tax withholding right was made by the director, officer or employee in
compliance with the Insider Trading Procedures.
 
Retirement Plan. The trading prohibitions and restrictions set forth in the Insider Trading Procedures do not apply to purchases of Securities in any 401(k) Plan of the Company
(the “Retirement Plan”) resulting from periodic contributions by Insiders to the Retirement Plan pursuant to payroll deduction elections. Such prohibitions and restrictions do
apply, however, to certain elections Insiders may make under the Retirement Plan, including: (a) an election to increase or decrease the percentage of periodic contributions that
will be allocated to the Company stock fund; (b) an election to make an intra-plan transfer of an existing account balance into or out of the Company stock fund; (c) an election
to borrow money against or receive a distribution from such Insider’s Retirement Plan account if the loan or distribution will result in a liquidation of some or all of such
Insider’s Company stock fund balance; and (d) an election to pre-pay a plan loan if the pre-payment will result in an allocation of loan proceeds to the Company stock fund.
 
PART IV. WAIVERS
 
A waiver of any provision of this Insider Trading Compliance Policy, or the Insider Trading Procedures contained herein, in a specific instance may be authorized in writing by
either the Compliance Officer or the Audit Committee of the Board, and any such waiver shall be reported to the such committee or the Board.
 
11

 
 
PART V. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

this Insider Trading Compliance Policy under the Company’s electronic training record system, and, if applicable, the Insider Trading Procedures contained herein. Directors

Exhibit B.
 
All directors, officers, and employees and consultants will be required upon the Company’s request to re-acknowledge and agree to comply with the Insider Trading
Compliance Policy (including any amendments or modifications). For such purpose, an individual will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to comply with the Insider
Trading Compliance Policy, as amended from time to time, when copies of such items have been delivered by regular or electronic mail (or other delivery option used by the
Company) by the Compliance Officer.
