To Whom It May Concern:

 

You, the undersigned (the “Subscriber”), have been informed that bioAffinity Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“bioAffinity”), intends to offer (the “Offering”) to issue 564,972 shares of restricted common stock of bioAffinity (the “Restricted Stock”) as partial payment of amounts owed pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated September 18, 2023, (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among Precision Pathology Laboratory Services, LLC., a Texas limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of bioAffinity, as buyer (“Buyer”), Village Oaks Pathology Services, P.A., a Texas professional association d/b/a Precision Pathology Services, as seller (“Seller”), and Dr. Roby P. Joyce, M.D. (“Owner”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the Seller has directed that the Restricted Stock to be issued to Seller shall instead be issued to Subscriber, of which the sole owner of Seller is a trustee.

 

The Offering amount was determined by dividing $1,000,000.00 by the average of the trading day closing prices of bioAffinity common stock listed and traded as “BIAF” on the NASDAQ Capital Market for the 30 days prior to September 15, 2023, rounded to the nearest whole share (the “Offering Amount”); provided, however that, bioAffinity reserves the right to issue more or less than such amount to Subscriber, provided that such change in the Offering is in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth Purchase Agreement and bioAffinity’s certificate of incorporation (as amended and/or restated, the “Certificate”) and bylaws (as amended and/or restated, the “Bylaws,” and together with the Purchase Agreement and Certificate, the “Governing Documents”). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

1. Subscription. The Subscriber hereby tenders this subscription agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) as a condition to receiving the Restricted Stock in the amount of the Offering Amount to be issued as part of the Purchase Price under the Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Restricted Stock subscribed for herein is the Parent Equity to be issued in accordance with the terms, limitations and conditions in the Purchase Agreement, which Parent Equity Seller has directed to be issued to Subscriber.

 

2. Subscriber’s Acknowledgments and Understandings. The Subscriber hereby acknowledges, understands, and agrees that:

 

(a) this Subscription Agreement, properly executed, must be received by bioAffinity on or before the date of Closing of the Purchase Agreement (the “Expiration Time”), subject to earlier termination by bioAffinity of the Offering, for any reason or as provided herein and in the Purchase Agreement;

(b) with respect to the attempt to subscribe for Restricted Stock pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, in the event the Subscriber is not currently an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”) bioAffinity’s board of directors or any of its officers, as the case may be, in their sole and absolute discretion, may reject such subscription;

 

(c) by executing this Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber has been furnished with and carefully read the Purchase Agreement, the Certificate and the Bylaws and, subject to acceptance by bioAffinity, accepts, adopts and agrees to be bound by each and every provision contained in the Governing Documents;

(f) in the event bioAffinity determines to accept this subscription, the Subscriber agrees that Subscriber will not Transfer any of Subscriber’s Restricted Stock unless bioAffinity receives an opinion of legal counsel, satisfactory to bioAffinity in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Subscriber’s Restricted Stock can be Transferred without violation of the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), and any applicable state securities laws or regulations, or bioAffinity receives evidence, satisfactory to bioAffinity in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Restricted Stock has been validly registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, and the Subscriber complies with all provisions of the Governing Documents;

 

(g) no representation or promise has been made concerning the marketability or value of Restricted Stock;

(h) no federal or state agency has made any finding or determination as to the fairness of this Offering for investment or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Restricted Stock;

(k) bioAffinity’s financial and other operating history can be found by reviewing the documents made publicly available by the Commission at https://www.sec.gov/edgar/search/#/q=bioaffinity&dateRange=all (the “Detailed Corporate History”) or upon request to bioAffinity, and Subscriber has reviewed all of the Detailed Corporate History to Subscriber’s full satisfaction;

 

(l) the Restricted Stock are speculative investments which involve a high degree of risk of loss by the Subscriber of Subscriber’s entire investment and that due to the high degree of risk of loss of the Subscriber’s entire investment in bioAffinity, Restricted Stock may only be sold to persons who understand the nature of bioAffinity and for whom the investment is suitable, with suitability being determined by taking into account all facts and circumstances, including the Subscriber’s net worth and income, education, sophistication, experience in investments and investment objectives;

EXHIBIT “A”

 

CERTAIN RISK FACTORS

 

Any investment in bioAffinity will be subject to numerous risk factors. Any person making an investment in bioAffinity will need to be prepared to hold the Restricted Stock for an indefinite period. If bioAffinity is not successful, each of the investors could lose their entire investment.

 

Please closely review all risk factors presented in the Detailed Corporate History, as all such risk factors apply to the Restricted Stock and an investment therein.

 

No Market for Restricted Stock. There will be no public market for the Restricted Stock, including any issued or sold in the Offering, and it is highly unlikely that such a market will exist in the future. The Restricted Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities law, in reliance on applicable exemptions. No representation or promise has been made concerning the marketability or value of the Interests.

 

Restrictions on Transferability of Restricted Stock. There are substantial restrictions on the Transferability of Restricted Stock by law and by bioAffinity. Therefore, the Restricted Stock may have to be held indefinitely and may not be Transferred, unless and until subsequently registered under the Securities Act and/or applicable state securities law, or unless an exemption from such registration is available, in which case a limitation as to the amount of said securities that could be sold may still exist and unless and until the Subscriber complies with all provisions of the Governing Documents.

 

Subscriber’s purchase of Restricted Stock is a long-term and illiquid investment. An investment in the Restricted Stock offered by bioAffinity may be long-term and illiquid. The offer and sale of the Restricted Stock will not be registered under the Securities Act or any foreign or state securities laws by reason of exemptions from such registration. The Subscriber is being required to represent in writing that Subscriber is purchasing the Restricted Stock for Subscriber’s own account, for long-term investment, and not with a view towards resale, distribution, other Transfer, subdivision or fractionalization thereof. Accordingly, Subscriber must be willing and able to bear the economic risk of Subscriber’s investment for an indefinite period. It is likely that Subscriber will not be able to liquidate Subscriber’s investment, even in the event of a personal financial emergency.

 

Tax implications to Subscriber’s decision to purchase the Restricted Stock. bioAffinity will be classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The income tax consequences of an investment in bioAffinity may be complex and may not be the same for all taxpayers. ACCORDINGLY, EACH POTENTIAL INVESTOR, INCLUDING THE SUBSCRIBER, MUST DEPEND SOLELY UPON THE ADVICE OF ITS OWN PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO ITS INVESTMENT IN BIOAFFINITY AND THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES THEREOF.

 

Additional risks and uncertainties are not presently known. In addition to the risks specifically identified in these Risk Factors, bioAffinity may face additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to bioAffinity or its board of directors, or that bioAffinity and its board of directors currently deem immaterial but which may later impair bioAffinity’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
