This SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated as of June 30, 2023 by and among BioSig AI Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of the purchasers identified on the signature pages hereto and such purchasers’ respective successors and assigns (individually, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”).

 

The parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK

 

Section 1.01 Purchase and Sale of Stock. Upon the following terms and conditions, the Company shall issue and sell at the Closing (as defined below), and the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agree to purchase at the Closing, an aggregate of up to $2,000,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), with an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock for each Purchaser equal to that number of shares as is set forth on each such Purchaser’s signature page hereto (collectively, the “Shares”), at a price per share equal to $1.00 (the “Per Share Purchase Price,” and such amounts in the aggregate, the “Purchase Price”). The Company and the Purchasers are executing and delivering this Agreement in accordance with and in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Company shall also cause any subscription documents or funds received following the Closing to be returned, without interest or deduction, to each applicable prospective Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company in its sole discretion may elect not to sell to any Person any or all of the Shares requested to be purchased hereunder, provided that the Company causes all corresponding subscription documents and funds received from such Person to be promptly returned.

-2-

 

(a)    Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified will not have material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, properties, prospects or financial condition of the Company, and/or any condition, circumstance, or situation that would prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect (each, a “Material Adverse Effect”).

 

(b)    Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to issue and sell the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof and otherwise carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

 

(c)    Issuance of Securities. The Shares to be issued at the Closing have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and the Shares, when paid for or issued in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

(d)    No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated herein do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party or by which it or its properties or assets are bound, (iii) create or impose a lien, mortgage, security interest, charge or encumbrance of any nature on any property of the Company under any agreement or any commitment to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or by which any of its properties or assets are bound or (iv) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company are bound or affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clause (i) above, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(e)    Private Placement Memorandum. The Company’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum distributed to each Purchaser in connection with the sale of the Shares (the “PPM”), did not, as of the date of this Agreement, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

-3-

 

Section 2.02 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each of the Purchasers hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company with respect solely to itself and not with respect to any other Purchaser:

 

(a)    Organization and Standing of the Purchasers. If the Purchaser is an entity, such Purchaser is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization.

 

(b)    Authorization and Power. Each Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to purchase the Shares being sold to such Purchaser hereunder. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Purchaser and constitutes, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with the terms thereof, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

 

(c)    Purchase for Own Account. Each Purchaser is acquiring the Shares solely for its own account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with distribution. Each Purchaser does not have a present intention to sell the Shares, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or intention to affect any distribution of the Shares to or through any person or entity. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the Shares and that it has been given full access to such records of the Company and to the officers of the Company and received such information as it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation and has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to the Company in terms of the Company’s stage of development so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in the Company.

 

(d)    Status of Purchasers. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act and such Purchaser is not a broker-dealer.

 

(e)    Opportunities for Additional Information. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has received and carefully reviewed the PPM. Each Purchaser acknowledges that such Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from, or obtain additional information from, the executive officers of the Company concerning the financial and other affairs of the Company, and to the extent deemed necessary in light of such Purchaser’s personal knowledge of the Company’s affairs, such Purchaser has asked such questions and received answers to the full satisfaction of such Purchaser, and such Purchaser desires to invest in the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

 

(f)    No General Solicitation. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares were not offered to such Purchaser by means of any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio or (ii) any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications.

 

-4-

 

(g)    Restricted Securities. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available.

 

(h)    General. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirement of federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the Shares.

 

ARTICLE III.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

 

Section 3.01         Transfer Restrictions.

 

(a)    The Purchasers covenant that the Shares will only be disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, the Company may require the transferor to provide the Company with an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act.

 

(b)    The Purchasers agree to the imprinting of the following legend on any certificate evidencing any of the Shares and to the notation of such legend in the stock books of the Company (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws):

 

THESE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE “SECURITIES”) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

Section 3.02 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Shares to the Purchasers.

Each Party consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

Section 4.07 Headings. The article, section and subsection headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

Section 4.08 Successors and Assigns; Restrictions on Transfer. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchasers.

Section 4.10 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any of the conflicts of law principles which would result in the application of the substantive law of another jurisdiction. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed with any presumption against the party causing this Agreement to be drafted.

Section 4.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.

 

Section 4.12 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement and such provision shall be reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

Further, the Company shall not make any payments or issue any securities to the Purchasers in amounts which are disproportionate to the respective numbers of outstanding Shares held by any Purchasers at any applicable time. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of the Shares or otherwise.
