Under Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement
On
October 7, 2022, the Company entered into the Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement (the “IP Purchase Agreement”)
with Paul Goode, which is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which Dr. Goode sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed
and delivered to the Company, all of his right, title and interest in and to the following assets, properties and rights
(collectively, the “Purchased Assets”): (a) all rights, title, interests in all current and future intellectual
property, including, but not limited to patents, trademarks, trade secrets, industry know-how and other IP rights relating to an
implantable continuous glucose sensor (collectively, the “Conveyed Intellectual Property”); and (b) all the goodwill
relating to the Purchased Assets.
In
consideration for the sale by Dr. Goode of the Purchased Assets to the Company, the Company paid to Dr. Goode cash in the amount of
one dollar and became obligated to issue up to 10,000 shares of Common Stock based upon specified performance milestones as set
forth in the IP Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Price”). In addition, if upon the final issuance of Common Stock under the IP Purchase Agreement, the aggregate
10,000 shares represent less than 1.5% of the then outstanding Common Stock of the Company, the final issuance will include such
number of additional shares so that the total aggregate issuance equals 1.5% of the outstanding shares (the “True-Up
Shares”) of Common Stock of the Company. All shares of Common Stock to be issued under the IP Purchase Agreement shall be (i) restricted over a limited
period as defined in the IP Purchase Agreement and issued in transactions exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended and (ii) subject to the lockup provisions.
On
December 29, 2023, 1,000 shares of Common Stock were earned under the terms of the IP Purchase Agreement and were issued to Dr. Goode on
February 6, 2024. On May 1, 2024, 1,500 shares of Common Stock were earned under the terms of the IP Purchase Agreement. On March 26, 2025, the Board determined that the third milestone was met
and that an additional 2,500 shares of Common Stock have been earned under the terms of the IP Purchase Agreement.

up to an aggregate of 15,000 shares of Common Stock. The closing of the private placement occurred on July

The

prior to the June 27 Maturity Date without penalty.
Each

The
June 27 Notes and the June 27 Warrants were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements thereof provided by Section

“July 18 Investors”), providing for the private placement of unsecured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate

(the “Note Balance”), as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the date of the closing of the next
issuance and sale of capital stock of the Company, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, to investors resulting
in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $500,000 (excluding indebtedness converted in such financing) (a “Qualified
Financing”), would automatically be converted into that number of shares of equity securities of the Company sold in the
Qualified Financing equal to the number of shares calculated by dividing (X) the Note Balance by (Y) an amount equal to the price
per share or other unit of equity securities issued in such Qualified Financing, and otherwise on the same terms as the security
issued in the Qualified Financing, provided that the conversion price per share shall not be lower than $31.20 (the “Floor Price”).
32
The
July 18 Notes were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements thereof provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities
Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company relied on this exemption from registration based in part on representations
made by the July 18 Investors.
July
30 Private Placement
On
July 30, 2024, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note and
three warrant agreements (the “July 30 Warrants”) with an existing investor (the “July 30 Holder”), providing
for the private placement of a secured convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000 (the “July 30
Note”). The July 30 Note was not convertible until and unless approved at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders (“Stockholder

Except

without the written consent of the July 30 Holder. The July 30 Note (i) was convertible at the discretion of the July 30 Holder at a
price equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of conversion and, (ii) if the closing price of the Common Stock exceeds
$100.00 per share for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days, would automatically convert at a price equal to the five-day (5)
VWAP (subject to adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, combination or similar transaction). “VWAP”
means the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock.
In
the event of a Sale Transaction on or prior to the Maturity Date, the Company would repay the July 30 Holder, at the July 30 Holder’s
election, as follows: (a) cash equal to 200% of the Note balance, or (b) transaction consideration in the amount to be received by the
July 30 Holder in such Sale Transaction if the July 30 Note was converted pursuant to an optional conversion. “Sale Transaction”
means a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other entity, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company, or any other transaction or series of related transactions in which the Company’s stockholders immediately prior to
such transaction(s) receive cash, securities or other property in exchange for their shares and, immediately after such transaction(s),
own less than 50% of the equity securities of the surviving corporation or its parent.
Each

The
July 30 Note and the July 30 Warrants were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements thereof provided by Section

Concurrent
Private Offering
In
a private placement offering completed concurrently with the November 2024 Offering (the “Concurrent Private Offering”),
the July 30 Holder, which is an existing investor controlled by a director of the Company, converted approximately $4,093,112 of
debt, which represented the then outstanding principal and accrued interest under the July 30 Note (the “July 30 Note
Debt”). The July 30 Note Debt was converted to Common Stock and Common Warrants on substantially the same terms as the
November 2024 Offering, resulting in the issuance of 132,036 shares of Common Stock, 132,036 accompanying Series A common warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “Series A Common
Warrants”), and 132,036 accompanying Series B common warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “Series A Common Warrants”,
and together with the Series A Common Warrants, the “Common Warrants”), based on a conversion price of $31.0 per share, which
is equal to the consolidated closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on November 12, 2024.
34
July
18 Note Conversion
In
addition, concurrently with the November 2024 Offering, the Company converted on substantially the same terms as the November
Offering, the three outstanding July 18 Notes, with an aggregate outstanding principal and accrued interest in the amount
of $304,494. As previously disclosed in the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on July 22, 2024, that disclosed the entry
into the July 18 Notes, the July 18 Notes were to automatically convert upon a Qualified Financing, into a number of equity
securities of the Company sold in the Qualified Financing, equal to a number of shares calculated by dividing (X) the Note Balance
by (Y) an amount equal to the price per share or other unit of equity securities issued in such Qualified Financing, and otherwise
on the same terms as the security issued in the Qualified Financing, provided that the conversion price per share shall not be lower
than the Floor Price. The three outstanding July 18 Notes automatically converted in connection with the closing of the
November 2024 Offering at a conversion price of $31.20, which is equal to the Floor Price as defined in the July 18 Notes, for an
aggregate of 9,760 shares of Common Stock, 9,760 Series A Common Warrants, and 9,760 Series B Common Warrants (the “July 18
Note Conversion”).
The
Common Stock and the Common Warrants issued in connection with the Concurrent Private Offering and the July 18 Note Conversion were not
registered under the Securities Act and were offered pursuant to the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the
Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder. The Company relied on this exemption from registration based in part on representations made by the investors.
