Exhibit 10.1
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
KULR Technology Group, Inc.
1999 South Bascom Avenue, Suite 700
Campbell, CA 95008
Ladies and Gentlemen:
1. Subscription. The undersigned (the “Purchaser”) by execution of this Subscription Agreement (“Subscription Agreement”), intending to be legally bound, hereby irrevocably agrees to purchase from KULR Technology Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) the number of units (the “Units” and each a “Unit”) set forth on the signature page hereto at a purchase price of Nine Thousand Dollars ($9,000.00) per Unit, for the aggregate subscription price set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Purchase Price”). Each Unit consists, but need not remain a unit, of (i) one share of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), the rights, limitations and preferences for which are set forth in the Certificate of Designation attached hereto as Exhibit B, and (ii) a warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (each, a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”) to purchase Two Thousand Five Hundred (2,500) shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $1.50 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrants, which Warrants expire two (2) years after the date of the Warrant’s issuance. The Units, the Preferred Stock, the Warrants, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be collectively referred to as the “Securities” throughout this Subscription Agreement.
If this subscription is accepted, the Company will signify such acceptance by executing counterparts of this Subscription Agreement and causing one such mutually executed counterpart to be returned to the undersigned. This subscription is submitted to you in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions described in this Subscription Agreement and all attachments, schedules and exhibits hereto (collectively, the “Subscription Agreement”), including but not limited to the risk factors (“Risk Factors”) set forth on Schedule I hereto, relating to the offering (the “Offering”) by the Company of up to a maximum of $3,600,000 in the Securities (the “Maximum Offering Amount”).
The offering price of the Securities has been unilaterally determined by the Company and is not based on its assets or earnings.
By execution hereof, Purchaser acknowledges that this is an unregistered offering of restricted securities, which securities, subject to the satisfaction of certain requirements, may be sold in accordance with Rule 144. Rule 144 requires at least a six month holding period before shares of Common Stock can be publicly traded (the Company does not currently have a trading symbol and no assurances can be made that it will be assigned a trading symbol or if a trading symbol is assigned that the trading market will develop). Although the Company is currently a reporting issuer in the United States, there is no assurance that it will remain a reporting issuer and/or remain in compliance with all requirements, including without limitation the timely filing of its periodic reports, that allow for Purchasers to transfer restricted securities of the Company in reliance upon Rule 144 or any other exemption to the registration requirement of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Furthermore, Purchaser acknowledges that a significant portion of the net proceeds of this Offering will be applied to working capital and other general corporate purposes, including but not limited to research and development, capital expenditures, sales and marketing costs and compensation (in the form of salary and bonuses) to officers and directors. Accordingly, the Company’s management will have broad discretion as to the application of such proceeds. There can be no assurance that management’s use of proceeds generated through this Offering will prove optimal or translate into revenue or profitability for the Company. Purchasers are urged to consult with their attorneys, accountants and personal investment advisors prior to making any decision to invest in the Company and to carefully review, with the assistance of their attorneys, accountants and personal investment advisors, the Risk Factors set forth on Schedule I hereto, all of the Company’s public filings.
2. Payment. The undersigned shall cause the Purchase Price to be deposited in the escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) of Sichenzia Ross Ference LLP, (the “Escrow Agent”), as escrow agent for the Company, as follows:

(b) Subsequent Closings. The Company may continue to offer and accept subscriptions for the Securities and conduct additional closings (each, a “Subsequent Closing”) for the sale of such Securities after the Closing and until the termination of the Offering. Unless earlier terminated, this Offering will continue until December 31, 2019 unless the Compnay, in its sole discretion and without notice to Purchasers, extends the offering by 45 days. There may be more than one Subsequent Closing; provided, however, that the final Subsequent Closing shall take place no later than December 31, 2019 (or if the Company extends the termination date the date to which the Company extends the termination). The date of any subsequent closing is referred to as a “Subsequent Closing Date.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, no more than $3,600,000 in Securities will be sold at the Closing and all Subsequent Closings.

If this subscription is rejected in whole or the Offering of Securities is terminated, all funds received from the Purchaser will be returned without interest or offset, and this Subscription Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force or effect. If this subscription is rejected in part, the funds for the rejected portion of this subscription will be returned without interest or offset, and this Subscription Agreement will continue in full force and effect to the extent this subscription was accepted.

(vii) The Purchaser has not acquired the Securities as a result of, and will not itself engage in, any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) in the United States in respect of the Securities which would include any activities undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for the resale of the Securities; provided, however, that the Purchaser may sell or otherwise dispose of the Securities pursuant to registration thereof under the Securities Act and any applicable state and provincial securities laws or under an exemption from such registration requirements.

The Purchaser fiduciary or Plan (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (b) is independent of the Company or any of its affiliates; (c) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision, the Purchaser fiduciary or Plan has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its affiliates;

The Purchaser represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company in the Offering were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at <http://www.treas.gov/ofac>.

The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company may not accept any amounts from a prospective investor if such prospective investor cannot make the representation set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Purchaser agrees to promptly notify the Company should the Purchaser become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of the Purchaser, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Purchaser, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations, and may also be required to report such action and to disclose the Purchaser’s identity to OFAC. The Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Purchaser, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of the Purchaser if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company or any of the Company’s service providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs;
