Note 14 — Stockholders’ Equity

 

Series B Preferred Stock Offering and Exchange

 

On March 13, 2024, the Company entered into subscription agreements (each, a “Series B Subscription Agreement”) and exchange agreements (each, a “Series B Exchange Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (collectively, the “Series B Investors”), which agreements provided for (i) the sale to the Series B Investors of 12,495 shares of newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, and (ii) the exchange by the Series B Investors of 13,625 shares of Lucid Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and 10,670 shares of Lucid Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), held by them for 31,790 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Series B Offering and Exchange”). Prior to the execution of the Series B Subscription Agreements and the Series B Exchange Agreements, the Company entered into subscription agreements with certain of the Series B Investors providing for the sale to such investors of 5,670 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, which shares the investors immediately agreed to exchange for shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series B Exchange Agreements (and are included in the 10,670 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock set forth above). Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 and a conversion price of $1.2444. The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock also include a one times preference on liquidation and a right to receive dividends equal to 20% of the number of shares of our common stock into which such Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, payable on the one-year and two-year anniversary of the issuance date. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock also will be entitled to dividends equal, on an as-if-converted to shares of common stock basis, to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the common stock when, as, and if such dividends are paid on shares of the common stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is a voting security. The aggregate gross proceeds of these transactions were $18.2 million (inclusive of $5.7 million of aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock that was immediately exchanged for Series B Preferred Stock in the transactions).

 

 

Note 14 — Stockholders’ Equity - continued

 

As a result of 100% of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock being exchanged for shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the Series B Offering and Exchange, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series A-1 Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

 

In connection with the issuance, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series B Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Designation”). The key terms of the Series B Preferred Stock are as follows:

 

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock, equal to the number of Series B Preferred Shares to be converted, multiplied by the stated value of $1,000 (the “Stated Value”), divided by the conversion price in effect at the time of the conversion. The initial conversion price is $1.2444, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at any time at the option of the holder from and after the six-month anniversary of its issuance, and automatically converts into shares of our common stock on March 13, 2026, the second anniversary of its issuance at a conversion price of $1.2444, and the Series B Preferred Stock is a voting security (subject to applicable ownership limitations). In addition, the Series B Preferred Stock issued in exchange for Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock may be converted, at the election of the Company at any time after the six-month anniversary of the issuance of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, upon written notice given to the holders of such shares, if the volume weight average price of our common stock has been at least $8.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions) on 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days ending within 15 trading days prior to the date on which such notice is given (subject to certain limited exceptions) (a “VWAP-Based Mandatory Conversion”).

 

The Series B Preferred Stock will be senior to the Common Stock and any other class of the Company’s capital stock that is not by its terms senior to or pari passu with the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock (i) was entitled to receive, and did receive, a dividend on or about March 13, 2025 equal to 20% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock then held by such holder on March 13, 2025, and (ii) will be entitled to receive a dividend on or about March 13, 2026 equal to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 20% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock then held by such holder on March 13, 2026. A holder that voluntarily converts its Series B Preferred Stock prior to March 13, 2026 will not receive the dividend that accrues on such date with respect to such converted Series B Preferred Stock. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock also will be entitled to dividends equal, on an as-if-converted to shares of Common Stock basis, to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as, and if such dividends are paid on shares of the Common Stock.

 

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (or any Deemed Liquidation Event as defined in the Certificate of Designation), the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Value, plus any dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series B Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such event.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock is a voting security (subject to applicable ownership limitations).

 

The Company will not effect any conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, and a holder will not have the right to receive dividends or convert any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the receipt of dividends or the conversion, the holder (together with such holder’s affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of the holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (or, upon election of the holder, 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock).

 

The Company and the investors in the offering also executed a registration rights agreement (the “Series B Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Series B Preferred Stock. The Company filed such registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC (file number 333-280650), which filing became effective on July 18, 2024, covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Series B and Series B-1 Preferred Stock.

 

Series B-1 Preferred Stock Offering

 

On May 6, 2024, the Company issued approximately 11,634 shares of newly designated Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B-1 Preferred Stock”). The terms of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock are substantially identical to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, except that the Series B-1 Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $0.7228 and is not subject to a VWAP-Based Mandatory Conversion. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of shares in such offering were $11.6 million.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2024, investors of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock converted 1,500 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock at the agreed upon conversion price of $0.7228 for 2,075,263 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Lucid Diagnostics Common Stock

 

In July 2024, the Company received shareholder approval to amend its certificate of incorporation, as amended, to increase the total number of shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue by 100 million shares from 200 million shares to 300 million shares. An amendment effecting such change was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on July 23, 2024.

 

Additionally in July 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved, for purposes of Listing Rule 5635 of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock under the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) sold by the Company in a private offering in March 2024 and the Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B-1 Preferred Stock”) sold by the Company in a private offering in May 2024. Each of the Series B and Series B-1 Preferred Stock is a voting security. On any matter to be acted upon or considered by the stockholders of the Company, each holder shall be entitled to vote on an “as converted” basis after applying the beneficial ownership limitations described in the Series B and B-1 Preferred Stock Offering above.

On September 10, 2024, following preferred equity transactions completed by the Company earlier in 2024 and the termination of voting proxies entered into between PAVmed and certain shareholders of the Company, PAVmed’s voting interest in the Company was reduced to less than 50.0%, resulting in the loss of a controlling financial interest. However, PAVmed retains the ability to exercise significant influence over Lucid. As of December 31, 2024, PAVmed holds 31,302,444 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

On January 26, 2024, PAVmed elected to receive payment of $4,675 of fees and reimbursements due from Lucid, through the issuance of 3,331,771 shares of Lucid Diagnostics common stock. Substantially all of such shares were distributed by PAVmed to its shareholders on February 15, 2024.

Committed Equity Facility and ATM Facility

 

On March 28, 2022, the Company entered into a committed equity facility with an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald (“Cantor”). Under the terms of the committed equity facility, Cantor has committed to purchase up to $50 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time at the request of the Company. While there are distinct differences, the facility is structured similarly to a traditional at-the-market equity facility, insofar as it allows the Company to raise primary equity capital on a periodic basis at prices based on the existing market price. Cumulatively a total of 680,263 shares of Lucid Diagnostics’ common stock were issued for net proceeds of approximately $1.8 million, after a 4% discount, as of December 31, 2024. This facility terminates on August 1, 2025, which is the first of the month following the 36-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement for the same.

 

In November 2022, the Company entered into an “at-the-market offering” (“ATM”) for up to $6.5 million of its common stock that may be offered and sold under a Controlled Equity Offering Agreement between the Company and Cantor. Cumulatively a total of 230,068 shares of Lucid Diagnostics’ common stock were issued through the at-the-market equity facility for net proceeds of approximately $0.3 million, after payments of 3% commissions, as of December 31, 2024. Effective as of March 4, 2025, the Company terminated the prospectus supplement for the “at-the-market offering”. The Company will not make any sales of common stock in such offering unless and until a new prospectus or prospectus supplement is filed.
