Subscription Agreement

 

This subscription agreement (this “Subscription”) is made as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto, by and between the investor identified on the signature page hereto (the “Investor”) and Lucid Diagnostics Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to sell, and the Investor desires to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), which currently trade on the Capital Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Principal Market”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Subscription.

 

(a) Investor agrees to buy and, subject to acceptance as provided below, the Company agrees to sell and issue to Investor, such number of shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, free of restrictive legend and stop transfer orders, as are set forth on the signature page hereto, for the aggregate purchase price set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Purchase Price”).

 

(b) The Shares have been registered pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 333-268560, which registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 6, 2022, and is effective on the date hereof. A final prospectus supplement relating to the offering of the Shares (the “Prospectus Supplement”) will be delivered to the extent required by law.

 

(c) The Company may accept this Subscription at any time for all or any portion of the Shares subscribed for by executing a copy hereof as provided and notifying the Investor within a reasonable time thereafter. Upon or prior to the acceptance of this Subscription, Investor shall tender to the Company the full Purchase Price of this Subscription (or the accepted portion thereof) by wire transfer in accordance with instructions provided in writing by the Company. In the event that the Closing is not consummated on or prior to the Closing Date, unless otherwise agreed to by Investor in writing, the Purchase Price shall be returned to the Investor, without interest or deduction. The Company has the right to reject this subscription for the Common Stock, in whole or in part for any reason and at any time prior to the Closing (as defined below) thereon, notwithstanding prior receipt by the Investor of notice of acceptance of the Investor’s subscription. In the event the Investor’s subscription is rejected, the Investor’s payment will be returned promptly to the Investor without interest or deduction and this Subscription will have no force or effect. The Shares subscribed for herein will not be deemed issued to or owned by the Investor until one copy of this Subscription has been executed by the Investor and countersigned by the Company and the Closing with respect to the Investor’s subscription has occurred.

 

(d) Provided the Purchase Price has been delivered to the Company and the Company has filed the Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b), the closing of Investor’s purchase of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription (the “Closing”) shall occur on or prior to the first business day after the date of this Subscription (the date of the Closing, the “Closing Date”); provided that the Closing Date shall occur on or prior to the second business day after the date of this Subscription if this Subscription is executed after 4:30 p.m. Eastern time. Upon the Closing, the Company shall cause the Shares to be delivered to the Investor, which delivery shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC system in accordance with the instructions set forth on the Investor’s signature page attached hereto under the heading “DWAC Instructions” or otherwise provided in writing by the Investor.

The Investor understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of the Investor, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Investor, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations. The Investor further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Investor, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of the Investor 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
